On this day, Chu Huan went to Milangku Hutong again and met the old man.
After Chu Huan returned to the Capital Hotel in Miliangku Hutong, he immediately dialed Xu Yi's number!
"Collect funds and transfer them to our exclusive accounts at Jiaku Bank in the Mainland!"
Xu Yi immediately understood what Chu Huan meant, and his tone was filled with excitement, "Has your hometown agreed to our two investment plans?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "That's right!"
Nothing is achieved overnight, but everything is complementary to each other. As Chu Huan participated in the domestic infrastructure construction, his hometown's evaluation of Chu Huan has reached a higher level.
It can be said that from this time on, Chu Huan has received the highest standard of treatment in his hometown.
While in Miliangku Hutong, after hearing about Chu Huan's investments in Australia and Brazil, the old man knew what kind of positive impact Chu Huan's business empire would have on his hometown.
After comprehensive consideration, the old man finally gave a positive answer to Chu Huan's two projects in his hometown.
"Get ready. I will return to Xiangjiang tomorrow. Now that my hometown has agreed, all our previous preparations will begin!"
Such two huge projects involve a huge amount of funds, equipment, and personnel. It can be said that the preliminary preparations for the two plans will take at least half a year.
Xu Yi took the phone and said, "I understand, chairman, don't worry, I will give you the instructions immediately."
Chu Huan hung up the phone, and in the afternoon, Chu Huan met the person who asked him to return to Xiangjiang one day late at the Capital Hotel!
Academician Xu!
The domestic monopoly in rare earths is achieved not only by the rare earth mineral resources, but also by the rare earth cascade extraction technology developed by Academician Xu.
The rare earth cascade extraction technology studied by Academician Xu put his hometown at the forefront of the world in rare earth development technology. Originally, he could have applied for a patent for this technology, but Academician Xu did not. Instead, he held lectures across the country to promote his technology.
The technology has been promoted nationwide.
The idea was good, but Academician Xu underestimated the bad nature of people. After learning Academician Xu's cascade extraction technology, these people began to develop rare earths indiscriminately, which led to the fact that although China has the largest number of rare earth mines in the world, it has the most advanced rare earths.
technology, but the price has always been controlled by foreign capital.
It was not until after 2000 that the state implemented on-site regulation and control, which truly stabilized the domestic rare earth market. However, by that time, the amount of domestically developed rare earths had already used up more than half of the reserves!
"Academician Xu, thank you very much for coming. I will trouble you later!"
Chu Huan enthusiastically invited Academician Xu to sit next to the sofa.
"Director Chu, I have received notification from above regarding your company's ideas. I really never thought that Director Chu would invest so much money in rare earth resources in China!"
After Academician Xu sat on the sofa, he gave a speech with some sighs.
In fact, Academician Xu was not feeling very well during this period. As mentioned before, in order to promote the domestic rare earth industry, Academician Xu announced the cascade extraction technology he developed. He originally thought that he could use this to promote the domestic rare earth industry.
industry.
But the result made Academician Xu a little sad. Those units that learned this technology were not thinking about how to develop better in this field, but just wanted to earn more foreign exchange. Some people had even started to steal it.
This situation is not what Academician Xu wants to see at all.
Just this morning, Academician Xu, who was in a meeting in the capital, received a call from above, asking him to come to the capital hotel to meet Chu Huan, and told Chu Huan on the phone that Chu Huan wanted to invest in the domestic rare earth industry.
When Academician Xu first heard the news, he first thought it was impossible. A Xiangjiang group actually wanted to invest US$15 billion in the domestic rare earth industry?
With this amount of money, almost the entire Bayan Obo mine has been covered. It can even be understood that as long as this money enters the domestic rare earth industry, the Xiangjiang group will have a monopoly on the country's rare earth mines.
Is this something that a Xiangjiang group can do?
Putting aside these issues, what academician Xu cannot believe the most is what kind of group can come up with 15 billion US dollars?
What is the country’s foreign exchange reserves now?
I’m afraid it’s not even a fraction of 15 billion, right?
It’s not just a fraction of 15 billion. Last year, the country’s foreign exchange reserves were already negative. There is no way around this. In order to develop, my hometown used a lot of foreign exchange reserves to purchase overseas equipment last year, but my hometown’s foreign exchange reserves
There simply isn't enough to buy these devices.
So the only option is to borrow money!
1980 was also the only year in which domestic foreign exchange reserves were negative!
"According to our group's analysis, with the development of science and technology, global demand for rare earths will become more and more important in the future, and the price of rare earths will also become higher and higher. Investing in the field of rare earths will be beneficial to both our group and our hometown.
It’s a very important thing.”
Chu Huan explained with a smile.
Although he has received the above greeting, Academician Xu will definitely cooperate with his rare earth development, but in Chu Huan's plan, Academician Xu will be the main person in charge of his rare earth development technology. Chu Huan also hopes that Academician Xu can
Serve the company wholeheartedly!
Chu Huan has always respected technical personnel very much, especially those who are truly highly respected like Academician Xu.
What's more, in later generations, experts in rare earths will basically be Academician Xu's apprentices. In other words, as long as Academician Xu is retained, Chu Huan will have the most advanced rare earth technology in the world in the future!
"Director Chu, as I said above, let us fully cooperate with the development of your company, Director Chu. Originally, I shouldn't have any questions, but the investment you mentioned is too huge, so I took the liberty to ask.
Wait, Mr. Chu, does your company really plan to invest US$15 billion in the rare earth field?"
Chu Huan smiled and nodded, "This is natural. In fact, this morning, I asked my secretary to start mobilizing funds. If there are no accidents, the initial cost of 5 billion US dollars for this investment will be completed in a week."
Enter the bank's exclusive account.
At that time, this account will be jointly supervised by our company and the government, so in terms of funds, Academician Xu, you can rest assured!"
As Academician Xu had worried before, with such a large investment, it would basically monopolize the domestic rare earth market, and it would be impossible for the state to let Chu Huan take full control.
In fact, both the rare earth project and the Cangjiang Project are jointly developed by Chu Huan and his hometown. Of course, the management rights must be with Chu Huan, and the controlling rights are also with Chu Huan.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why my hometown has been hesitant.
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Academician Xu finally had no doubts in his heart, and at the same time he said a little embarrassedly, "Director Chu, I'm really embarrassed. It's because the investment this time is too big, so I won't."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "This is what it should be. In addition, Academician Xu has one more thing to trouble you with. I am planning to set up the world's top scientific research building for your scientific research department in the newly built company headquarters. However, I
I only have funds, but I really don’t know what kind of equipment you need. I will return to Xiangjiang tomorrow, so I hope you can give us a detailed list of these equipments today. I will definitely provide all these equipments by then.
Got it for you!"
Academician Xu once again showed an excited expression. In Li Yunlong's words, I have never fought such a rich battle in my life!
"No problem, I'll write it out for Director Chu now!"
Chu Huan signaled Wu Shuhan to prepare pen and paper for Academician Xu!
While Academician Xu was writing about the equipment, Mr. Yu also came to Chu Huan's residence.
These two plans were all due to Mr. Yu's contact with Chu Huan before. Now that the two plans have been approved, Mr. Yu will naturally continue to contact Chu Huan.
Compared with the project of rare earth development, which can well determine its location, the Cangjiang Plan actually does not know Chu Huan’s specific name for this plan in China. In his hometown, this plan has always been called the petrochemical engineering project plan!
Now that this investment plan has been approved by my hometown, I must choose a suitable place for this plan.
"Director Chu, these are some cities we have selected based on the plan you proposed. Come and take a look. In which city do you want to settle this plan?"
Mr. Yu is also very happy that the petrochemical project plan can be successfully implemented.
The investment of 25 billion U.S. dollars, excluding the overseas purchase of equipment, raw materials and other funds that need to be settled in U.S. dollars, the domestic investment is all RMB. This switch in the middle can make up for the foreign exchange owed by my hometown last year in an instant.
In addition, if such a large project is settled in China, it can drive countless projects in the surrounding area and provide a large number of jobs for the country.
This is definitely a good thing.
"If you have time, Mr. Chu, I would like to accompany you to walk around these cities. Then you can also visit the scene to observe the situation in each city!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "If this is the case, you will probably have a headache by then, Mr. Yu!"
Mr. Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Even if it's a headache, it's a happy headache!"
The benefits brought by the petrochemical project plan just mentioned are only at the national level. If this plan is implemented in a certain city, the changes it will bring to the city will be huge.
You must know that once this plan is implemented, it will not just be a super petrochemical project. There will be at least thirty or forty factories for various projects by then, plus supporting power plants, shipyards, docks, hospitals, schools, etc., it can
It is said that no matter which city this project is located in, it can instantly elevate the city to several levels.
By then, the cities under investigation are expected to swarm to Mr. Yu, hoping that Mr. Yu can help negotiate and bring this project to their city.
That's why Chu Huan said this at this time.
Mr. Yu naturally understood what Chu Huan meant, so he gave the answer just now.
"But, Director Chu, let's take a look at this trip first, right?"
Chu Huan waved his hand and told Mr. Yu, "Forget it about the itinerary. In fact, our group has been inspecting some cities for more than a year, and now we have basically determined the city where the petrochemical project project is located!"
After hearing this, Mr. Yu quickly asked, "I don't know which city, Mr. Chu, you are planning to locate the petrochemical engineering project in. We can also coordinate with the other party as soon as possible!"
Such a large-scale investment will require a large amount of land no matter which city it is located in, and this will inevitably involve the relocation of local indigenous people.
Like the rare earth project, the preliminary work of this project is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Chu Huan pointed to several city names brought by Mr. Yu and said with a smile, "This is the place we like!"
"Heron Island?"
"That's right, Cangjiang District of Ludao!" Chu Huan nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Yu said, "This city is really good. Coastal transportation will not be a problem. At the same time, water supply and other issues can also be easily solved."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I hope to build a large port here to facilitate the docking of ships. At the same time, my hometown has agreed to our proposal to build a road for our hometown, so we also want to build a road here to connect with the inland city."
Connected highways, so that when the project here is ready for production, it can supply domestic and overseas markets at the same time!"
Mr. Yu took out the map from his bag, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Director Chu, your plan is very good. I will report your ideas to the people in your group."
, we and Ludao’s staff are going to hold a detailed consultation meeting!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan said, "This is what it should be. I will return to Xiangjiang tomorrow to make preparations for the next launch of these two plans, which will take about a week."
Within a certain period of time, the start-up funds for the two plans will be transferred into the exclusive account of Shenghai Jiaku Bank. At that time, our group will send professional people to divide the use of funds with Mr. Yu!"
To put it bluntly, in fact, those funds must be settled with overseas companies in US dollars. Those funds that are spent domestically need to be converted into RB.
Mr. Yu sighed, "If overseas businessmen can be like you, Mr. Chu, then the development of my hometown will definitely increase several speeds!"
You must know that in my hometown, the official exchange rate and the black market exchange rate are simply the same as the sky and the earth. Chu Huan just settled this item in US dollars, which actually provided a lot of help to his hometown.
With Chu Huan's U.S. dollars, at least his hometown can be richer and use U.S. dollars to purchase other equipment needed for development.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, you are too polite. These are what we should do, and Mr. Yu, you have also read our plan. As long as these two projects are launched, it will be able to create very considerable benefits for our group."
Profitable!"
Mr. Yu waved his hand and said, "That being said, not everyone can have the courage to invest so much cash in their hometown at this time."
Faced with her husband's compliments, Chu Huan could only smile in the end!
Hong Kong, Kai Tak Airport.
“I didn’t expect this trip to go so smoothly!”
Hu Yingxiang couldn't help but sigh as she walked out of the airport.
"Director Chu, to be honest, I was prepared for a protracted war this time, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, my hometown would agree to our suggestion!"
Hu Yingxiang also understood that the main reason for such a smooth success this time was actually Chu Huan.
If it weren't for Chu Huan's financial support, they wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Without Chu Huan's financial support, Hu Yingxiang's suggestion this time was destined to be fruitless. It would have to wait until Hu Yingxiang proposed again in 1984 to succeed.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Hu Sheng, this time my hometown has approved our application. The next step is to implement it. This is not an easy task. Tomorrow I will let the team responsible for this matter from Jiaku work with
You met up!"
The success of anything cannot be accomplished by the words of the people above.
Although the investment in domestic highway construction is not as high as Chu Huan's two projects, it still involves countless manpower.
Hu Yingxiang nodded, and then said, "At this time, I really have to admire you, Mr. Chu, for your foresight and establishing a talent pool like Jiaku. Even though our group has been thinking about promoting this matter, now it has been successful."
, but the managers’ hands are stretched thin!”
Chu Huan's trip to his hometown allowed Jiaku to fully demonstrate his abilities.
The construction of the highway, the rare earth plan, and the Cangjiang plan, these three investment projects, require a management team, an operation team, etc., which add up to a team of at least nearly a thousand people, and these people must be capable people.
With such a team, no other group in Xiangjiang has this ability except Jiaku who can gather people at once at this time.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "We were just preparing in advance. Fortunately, everything developed as expected, otherwise it would be difficult to gather these manpower in a short time!"
Although Hu Yingxiang already knew Chu Huan's two investment projects at this time, when he heard what Chu Huan said at this time, he still thought that Chu Huan was being modest.
If Chu Huan was already preparing for the rare earth plan and the Cangjiang plan last year, then it would be understandable. However, the road construction plan of the two of them was just finalized this year.
But Hu Yingxiang was no longer prepared to say anything. He smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow afternoon I will take the people from our group to the Chinese Bank to have the first formal meeting with Director Chu and your people!"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile, "I will let Feng Jing receive Hu Sheng when the time comes!"
Hu Yingxiang was about to leave. When he got into the car, he suddenly stopped, holding the car door with one hand and looked at Chu Huan, "Forget it, Director Chu, let's see you tomorrow!"
While sitting in the car, Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan strangely, "Boss, what did Hu Sheng want to say to you just now?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Hu Sheng probably wanted to ask about the rare earth plan and the Cangjiang plan, but just a road construction plan has hollowed out the entire Hopewell Group. Their group now has no strength anymore."
Got involved in other plans!”
Wu Shuhan couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said, "If these two plans are made public in Xiangjiang, they will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "It's better to keep a low profile. Although these two projects don't seem to involve some people's fragile nerves now, an investment of 40 billion US dollars will still cause a lot of problems. We are still on our own
Develop your own!”
Wu Shuhan nodded.
Chu Huan looked at Wu Shuhan with a smile and said, "Will the pressure on you be greater now?"
Wu Shuhan nodded sincerely and said honestly, "I can still handle the projects in my hometown before, but now these two investment plans, plus the road construction plan, I am really worried that I will not be able to control it!"
Chu Huan told Wu Shuhan before that all Jiaku's investments in her hometown would be handed over to her, but the previous investment and the current investment are fundamentally different.
With an investment of US$40 billion, for a person of Wu Shuhan's ability, in fact, even if Wu Shuhan didn't talk about it herself, Chu Huan would not be able to let her take full responsibility.
"I have already discussed this matter with Xu Yi. Now you only need to be responsible for the early stage planning and arrangements. As for the specific matters, they will be handed over to Jiaku's management team until these two investment projects are completed.
, you are only responsible for the financial status of these two groups, and Jiaku’s management team will still be responsible for specific matters.
In addition, when the time comes, I will ask Wu Xiaohui to select a group of people from the investigation department to enter various departments of the two groups to supervise the management teams.
At that time, some of these people will be handed over to you for you to be responsible for. In addition, you have to do one more thing, which is to find suitable candidates to join the management team in your hometown and create a balance of power with the management team of Xiangjiang Jiaku."
Chu Huan preached to Wu Shuhan seriously.
As mentioned before, these two projects are the foundation of Jiaku's business empire in his hometown. Chu Huan will not trust these two investment plans to the hands of any single management team.
This can easily lead to power conflicts within the group, so in these two investment projects, Chu Huan will arrange various power teams to enter, in order to avoid the situation where one company dominates and then empties itself.
Wu Shuhan is only in charge of one of them.
After listening to Chu Huan's instructions, Wu Shuhan nodded, and then asked with some worry, "Boss, if this is the case, will there be a fight within the group and lead to slack in external development?"
One management team can easily lead to a situation of dominance and power, but multiple management teams can lead to internal struggles and excessive internal friction.
Among the companies in Hong Kong, the most representative example of this situation is actually TVB managed by the later generation Shao Yifu. In order to make TVB staff more competitive, Shao Yifu deliberately created a quartet of forces within the company to allow them to compete.
.
At the beginning, they were able to use internal competition to allow TVB to produce an endless stream of high-quality TV series and variety shows.
However, as TVB became the dominant player in Xiangjiang, TVB lost external competition and began endless internal friction. This is actually the reason why TVB gradually lost its local market in Xiangjiang.
Nowadays, Chu Huan's two projects in his hometown were actually destined to have no competitors in the early stages.
In such an environment, with Chu Huan inserting different forces, it is foreseeable that the internal competition will definitely be very fierce and cruel.
It may even affect the development of the group!
This is what Wu Shuhan is worried about now.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "This kind of thing is inevitable, so while we provide high salaries to maintain integrity, we must also strengthen internal supervision. They can compete internally, but if it touches the group's own interests, then they will
You will understand what kind of ending you will face!"
In fact, regardless of whether the groups in my hometown will have internal supervision in the future, the supervision here in Xiangjiang Jiaku will also exist, otherwise the investigation department of Jiaku will not be called the Jinyiwei of Jiaku.
At this point, Chu Huan believes that human nature is inherently evil. With such huge interests, Chu Huan would not believe it even if he killed moths.
But this is also an unsolvable problem. The only way is to strengthen internal supervision. At the same time, Chu Huan arranges for multiple forces to enter the group, hoping to avoid the situation where the big tail cannot be lost.
Wu Shuhan could only nod his head.
At this time, they returned to the Chinese Bank, and Xu Yi was already waiting for Chu Huan in Chu Huan's office.
"Boss, this is the list for this trip to my hometown!"
After Chu Huan received the list, he did not check it immediately. Instead, he asked Xu Yi, "Have you talked to these people? Do they have any opinions?"
No matter how big Chu Huan's investment projects are in his hometown, it is undeniable that the living environment in his hometown at this time cannot be compared with that in Xiangjiang. For these people to give up their current superior life in Xiangjiang and go to their hometown to develop, there must still be some criticism.
of.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "There are still some problems, but everyone heard that the labor force there is more than that here, and the project he is responsible for is also a top-level investment of the group. Everyone said they can accept this arrangement!"
Since these people have been selected in advance, they naturally know the investment scale of the Rare Earth Project and the Cangjiang Project. They can go to their hometowns to take charge of this project, which shows that they are highly valued within the group.
Nowadays, the jobs here in Xiangjiang Jiaku are basically a carrot and a pit. It is basically impossible for these people to transfer to other places in a short period of time.
So they also think that they can save the country through a curve, complete the project in their hometown well, and then get a better position after returning to Xiangjiang!
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Try to meet everyone's requirements. This time we are going to expand our territory, and you don't need me to emphasize the importance of these two projects to the company, right?"
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I know it, those people also know it, I told them!"
Chu Huan nodded and then started to look at this list!
Also, typos should be corrected first and then corrected. Huangshan will continue to code~
