In the afternoon, Li Guangyu also had no free time to play. He held talks with the deputy chief of transportation of the Guangdong Provincial Government, as well as Hu Yingxiang and Huo Yingdong in the hotel conference room.
This time it is mainly because of the Huacheng to Pengcheng Expressway. This expressway is different from the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway. That expressway is controlled by the Jiulong Group. Sichuan and Shu Province only need to invest in the land occupied along the way. There is no need to invest too much.
funds.
The Huapeng Expressway is controlled by the Guangdong Provincial Government, so the government needs to provide a certain proportion of construction funds. At present, the Guangdong Provincial Government is not financially well-off. This time, the Guangdong Provincial Government hopes to obtain loans from banks for the construction funds.
After generating profits quickly, they will be returned.
The purpose of their visit to Li Guangyu this time was to obtain a loan for the high-speed construction from Tianyu Bank.
Huapeng Expressway plans to invest 6 billion yuan. The Guangdong Provincial Government holds 51% of the shares of Huapeng Expressway Development Company with land along the route and 2.3 billion yuan in cash. Xiangjiang Hehe Industrial holds 49% of the company's shares with a capital investment of 3.7 billion yuan.
At present, the company has invested 1 billion yuan in the early stage, of which the Guangdong Provincial Government has invested 300 million yuan, and the Guangdong Provincial Government will need another 2 billion yuan in subsequent capital investment.
Such a sum of money still puts great financial pressure on Guangdong Province. In order not to affect Guangdong Province's investment in other aspects, loans have become their best choice.
For such a huge amount of funds, currently other than a few major state banks, the only other options available are banks in Hong Kong.
It used to be relatively easy, but the sudden global stock market crash affected many companies and banks in Hong Kong, and they had to be relatively strict in terms of loans.
Moreover, many banks in Xiangjiang are not very optimistic about the prospects of the Huapeng Expressway. At this time, no one would have thought that this expressway would be a powerful tool for attracting money in the future.
Although the stock market crash has had a great impact on many companies this time, it does not include the companies of the Li Group and the Xiangjiang Group. In this month, news of the expansion of Li Group has continued to spread, which is enough to see that this time
The Lee Group must have made good profits during the stock market crash.
This is also the reason why the deputy senior officials of Guangdong Province and Huo Yingdong and others came to Li Guangyu. If Li Guangyu suffered a big loss, they would naturally not trouble Li Guangyu. After all, the normal operation of Li's enterprises is detrimental to the economy of Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.
The economy plays a role in stabilizing military morale.
Li Guangyu said: "We, Tianyu Bank, are willing to provide this loan to the Guangdong provincial government. The construction of Huapeng Expressway will have a huge role in promoting the economic development of Guangdong Province. After the Huapeng Expressway is opened to traffic, it will also benefit the development of our industries."
It is very beneficial, and I also hope that the day when the Huapeng Expressway will be opened to traffic will come sooner."
Hearing that Li Guangyu agreed to provide loans to the Guangdong Provincial Government, several people present were very happy. In this way, there will be no problem with the construction funds of the Huapeng Expressway. They believe that the Huapeng Expressway can be completed as scheduled.
They are also paying attention to the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway that was approved at the same time as them. That expressway is much longer and more difficult than theirs, and the money invested in it is four times theirs. Now every section of the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway is bidding
They are all under construction in full swing, and they don't want their expressway to be queued behind the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway when it opens.
They admire the Li Group. Not counting others, the total investment in the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, the Central Second Expressway, and the Malaysian Northern Expressway alone exceeds 130 billion Hong Kong dollars. This does not include the Echeng invested by the Kowloon Group.
Port, outlying island port, Taipei MRT.
Once these projects are completed, the total assets of the Kowloon Group will exceed 170 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is a quite terrifying scale. What is even more terrifying is that such a group has no loans. This group alone is enough to make Li Guangyu the top rich man in Hong Kong.
One of them.
Deputy Senior Official Cheng of the Guangdong Provincial Government said: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your support to our government. I believe that with your support, the Huapeng Expressway will be completed as scheduled, making the transportation between Huacheng and Pengcheng more convenient and accelerating.
The economic development of our Guangdong Province.”
Deputy Chief Cheng has a bigger plan in mind, but the central government still needs to observe the effectiveness of the two expressways, so he has not proposed it.
When waiting for future opportunities, he will invite the Li Group and the Xiangjiang Group to invest in the expressway from Huacheng to Tuocheng via Echeng. He believes that the Li Group and the Xiangjiang Group are willing to invest in this expressway.
Echeng is now an important production base of the Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group industry, and Tuocheng is the hometown of many Xiangjiang business people.
After the establishment of this expressway, it will strengthen the connection between Huacheng and eastern Guangdong and promote connectivity and development within the province.
Li Guangyu didn't know that Deputy Chief Cheng had been planning things for many years. At this time, his focus was still on the Rong-Guo-Chongqing Expressway. Mainland executives obviously used these two construction models to see the results.
Before the expressway is put into operation, it is unlikely that this model of construction will continue to be approved.
Huo Yingdong said: "Li Sheng, Pengcheng has been developing faster and faster in recent years, but it is still relatively backward in many transportation facilities, such as the airport. We plan to jointly invest with the Guangdong Provincial Government to build Pengcheng Airport.
, I wonder if you are interested in comparison?"
This time they came to discuss with Li Guangyu, apart from the Huapeng Expressway loan, they also discussed the establishment of Pengcheng Airport.
As reform and opening up continues to advance, Pengcheng's status in Guangdong Province is getting higher and higher, and its economic share is also rising. However, because it has only been a city for a short time, many infrastructures, such as the airport, are not perfect, which is not conducive to Pengcheng.
the future development of the city.
Nowadays, foreign merchants going to Pengcheng must either go to Xiangjiang or Huadu first, and then take a bus to Pengcheng. This will waste a lot of time in the middle and is not convenient.
If Pengcheng has an airport, merchants can arrive directly in Pengcheng without going anywhere.
The biggest problem for them now is funding. Even if they only build an airport with an annual passenger volume of 1 million, the investment will still require 300 million yuan. This is not a small number.
Now Hopewell Industrial and Huo Yingdong and the others are facing very difficult funding due to the Huapeng Expressway and the plummeting stock market. Now they have many loans from Hong Kong Bank, Bank of East Asia, and Hong Kong Asian Commercial Bank. If they want to take out these
It is currently unlikely that a large amount of funds will come out.
This is a large amount of money for them, but it is a small matter for the Li Group. The Li Group can easily spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Li Guangyu said: "Huo Sheng, Deputy Chief Cheng, I am personally very interested in this project, but whether to invest in it requires Ms. Du Yuemei to understand it personally before making a decision."
There is no problem with the investment, but how to allocate the shares and how to manage and operate the airport need to be carefully discussed before making a decision. Li Guangyu is obviously not suitable to talk to them slowly. Du Yuemei, the president of the Kowloon Group, personally came to discuss this matter with the Guangdong Provincial Government and Pengcheng.
Government communication.
And this matter is obviously not something they can decide. After discussion, it will be reported to the central government, and it will require approval from above before formal construction can begin. It is just preliminary work now, and construction will not start in a short time.
