On the morning of the 26th, Li Guangyu contacted Robert Kuok who was in Hong Kong and negotiated a visit tomorrow evening. Li Guangyu did not have time to visit tonight. He had to attend the dinner hosted by Run Run Shaw.
At eleven o'clock, Gan Qin came to Li Guangyu and said: "Li Sheng, Mr. Hu Wenbin, the president of the China News Agency, would you like to have time in the afternoon? He will come to visit you at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Li Guangyu said: "You go and reply to Mr. Hu Wenbin, I will wait for him in the office in the afternoon."
Li Guangyu was a little confused as to the purpose of Hu Wenbin's visit. Zhang Ziyu and Gu Zhengsheng were both in Baodao. If they had anything to do, he could communicate with them, so why should he go there himself.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gan Qin led Hu Wenbin to Li Guangyu's office.
When Li Guangyu saw them coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "President Hu, welcome to your arrival. Please take a seat here."
After Li Guangyu and Hu Wenbin sat down, Gan Qin poured tea for them and exited Li Guangyu's office.
Hu Wenbin said: "Mr. Li, our president and Dean Sun asked me to say hello to you on their behalf. Thank you for your continued investment and development in our treasure island, especially the newly established Xingyu Family Game Console Production Company, which has brought us
Employment for thousands of people.”
Hu Wenbin was in a pretty good mood during this period. For some reasons, the Li Group has been expanding its investment in Baodao for more than a year, which has promoted the economic development of Baodao. This time, Xingyu Group invested in the establishment of a home game console production company.
, will also be put into use at the end of June.
Li Guangyu said: "President Hu, you are too polite, and I also thank the president and Dean Sun for their concern for me. Baodao has always been one of the strategic pivots of the development of our Li Group, and we will continue to expand our Li Group's development in the future."
The investment in Baodao will form a mutually beneficial and win-win situation with you."
For future development, Li Guangyu will never put the company aside for development. Only a global layout can be safer.
Hu Wenbin said: "Mr. Li, I know that you have always attached great importance to public service enterprises in Xiangjiang. You have controlled several such groups, and this time Mr. Zheng Yutong has joined forces with you to acquire China Power. I don't know how much you value us."
What do some companies on the other side of the island think?”
These enterprises in Baodao are controlled by the government, and Li Guangyu does not have the energy to get involved in matters there now. Many resources in Baodao are either in the hands of the government or in the hands of major families, making it difficult for outsiders to get involved.
Li Guangyu said: "President Hu, our Li Group has no plans in this area yet. Besides, you should know the situation on your Baodao better than I do."
Hu Wenbin said: "Li Sheng, this time I am not inviting you to enter an existing industry. I don't know if you understand the Taipei MRT proposed by our Ministry of Transportation."
Li Guangyu himself really didn't pay attention to this issue. Li Guangyu said: "President Hu, I don't know much about this situation yet. I wonder what the opinions of President Sun and the Ministry of Communications are?"
Hu Wenbin saw that Li Guangyu did not refuse immediately, but asked about specific matters. He knew that Li Guangyu was still interested in it.
Hu Wenbin said: "Li Sheng, I have brought information about the Taipei MRT. You can take a look first. Our president has ordered that if you are interested, our Minister of Transportation will come to Xiangjiang to discuss it in detail with you."
Li Guangyu took the information handed over by Hu Wenbin and looked at it. Li Guangyu did not look at the technical information. He focused on the management and equity plans of the Baodao government.
Hu Wenbin did not disturb Li Guangyu from reading the information, and waited quietly for Li Guangyu. He hoped that Li Guangyu could participate in it. The current problem of Taipei MRT is mainly due to the lack of funds. For such a big project, Bao
The island's finances cannot afford independent construction.
This plan was put forward in 1973 and planned in 1979, but it has still not been finalized because the funds have not been secured.
Li Guangyu looked at some of the plans here and found that Baodao was still very sincere. However, he currently did not have sufficient funds, and after September, he would still need a large amount of funds. It was impossible for him to let his funds be tied up in
On top of the Taipei MRT.
Li Guangyu said: "President Hu, I personally am still very interested in Taipei MRT, but our Li Group currently lacks funds and has been unable to enter this industry in the past two years."
Hu Wenbin was a little disappointed after hearing this. If the Li Group is unwilling to invest in this, it is estimated that no other family in Xiangjiang is willing to invest in Taipei MRT. It will take a long time for this plan to become a reality.
Hu Wenbin said: "Li Sheng, our government is very sincere, and it does not need to invest too much money in the early stage. In the next two years, it will only be about the design and exploration of the line. The actual construction will start in one or two years."
Years later, I think the Li Group is strong enough to handle the investment here."
Li Guangyu thought for a while and said: "President Hu, I will arrange for our Baodao personnel to conduct a detailed investigation of the Taipei MRT. At the same time, I will contact some major families in Xiangjiang to see if they are interested in investing in the Taipei MRT. I
I will give you an answer at that time. Our Li Group has not been involved in such a large investment in the past two years."
Seeing this, Hu Wenbin could only hope that Li Guangyu would bring him good news. He even planned to persuade the government to let them continue to negotiate with Li Guangyu. It would not be a problem to extend the investment time for two years. It was proposed quickly anyway.
It’s been ten years, and I don’t care if I have to wait another one or two years.
Hu Wenbin said: "Li Sheng, I leave this information to you. Please believe in our government. The passenger flow on this line is definitely not a problem. Your investment will definitely be another win-win for our cooperation."
Li Guangyu said: "President Hu, I will seriously consider it, and I also hope to cooperate with you again this time."
After seeing Hu Wenbin off, Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin: "Contact Gu Zhengsheng from Baodao and ask him to investigate the Taipei MRT planned by the Ministry of Transportation over there."
Gan Qin immediately understood that Hu Wenbin came here for this matter, and she immediately replied: "Li Sheng, I will contact Vice President Gu Zhengsheng later and convey your instructions."
Li Guangyu himself was really tempted by the conditions offered by Baodao. If he hadn't been preparing for things in Xiangjiang this year, he would have agreed to the proposals from the CEO and Sun Yunxuan.
This time it not only involves the Taipei MRT, but also the property development rights of each station can be handed over to Starlight Real Estate Group for development. Thinking about the profits, Li Guangyu really doesn’t want to give up, especially those belonging to Taipei stations.
Business development is enough for him to make money. Of course, Li Guangyu knows that these still need to be discussed in detail, and it is estimated that a sum of funds will still be spent.
After Li Guangyu thought for a while, he continued to say to Gan Qin: "Ask Lin Yanyun to investigate the situation of Taipei MRT stations to see if they are suitable for the development of our Starlight Real Estate Group, and ask her to make a detailed report.
Come out and investigate the land prices there at the same time."
Li Guangyu needs to know the land prices of those sites before he can negotiate with Baodao. If the value is really high, Li Guangyu is considering borrowing money from Sumitomo Bank. As for Tianyu Bank, he dare not move for the time being. A run crisis on Xiangjiang Bank is not far away.
