After long calls, the Guangdong Special Economic Zone Regulations were finally promulgated in August. This regulation clearly stipulates that the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors investing in the special zones are protected, and the income tax is also clarified, which is the same as in Xiangjiang at 15%.
The Pengcheng Special Economic Zone has also been officially established, and Li Jianhui has more choices for investing in the mainland. Moreover, if he invests in Luohu, transportation is more convenient than in Shekou. After passing Luohu Port, he can enter Xiangjiang.
In order to promote the development of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone in Pengcheng and even Guangdong Province, Zhang Jimin, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Committee and Secretary of the Guangdong Special Economic Zone Management Committee, led the Pengcheng Committee and Pengcheng Special Economic Zone Management Committee on the day after it was officially established.
Many senior officials from the committee came to Xiangjiang and visited many corporate executives in Xiangjiang.
As the world's richest man, Li Jianhui, the head of the first family in Hong Kong, is naturally the target of their visit.
Li Jianhui, who wanted to enter these markets, also gave Zhang Jimin and others a lot of face. He personally led Li Qungang, president of Tesco Group, Peng Kezhi, president of Xinjian Bank, vice president of Xinjian Group, Xu Zhichao, president of Jingyi Electrical Appliances, and Su Jiangting, general manager of the administrative department of Xinjian Group.
Wait outside the building to meet the inspection and investment delegation.
Zhang Jimin has made low-key visits to Xiangjiang or Lisboa several times with senior executives, and is no stranger to Li Jianhui's name.
There are various evaluations of Li Jianhui's mission. Some say that he is a big monopoly capitalist, others say that he is a great philanthropist, some lament that he is a businessman without a position, and some praise him as a pioneer of Hong Kong's high-tech industry.
No matter whether he is criticized or praised, his talents in business cannot be concealed. No one would think that Li Jianhui is a once-in-a-century business wizard in the Chinese nation.
Even though he has come through the war years and seen countless great things in the world, it is difficult for Zhang Jimin to imagine how he could achieve such achievements from scratch.
In just over three years, an industrial group with a market value of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars has been established, and his personal assets have reached over 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Last year, Yangcheng's GDP was only 4.8 billion yuan. According to the official exchange rate, it was only 14.28 billion Hong Kong dollars. Li Jianhui's personal assets were more than twice the annual GDP of Yangcheng.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that the rich can rival the country. The richest party can definitely afford it. The world's richest man does not deserve his reputation.
Despite all the legends, the person standing in front of him was a humble and sunny young man, without the arrogance and arrogance, nor the depth of having been in the business for a long time.
What they feel here is a sincere welcome instead of perfunctory politeness.
In the conference room 205 of the building, Zhang Jimin said: "Thank you very much Mr. Li for taking time out of his busy schedule to meet with us. This time we came to visit Xinjian Group. Firstly, we can learn some experience and gain some knowledge. Secondly,
I hope to achieve more cooperation with Xinjian Group and its affiliated companies."
"Secretary Zhang is so polite. Being able to communicate with you will also be of great benefit to the future development of our company.
The mainland market has broad prospects, and the formal establishment of the special economic zone also marks a new page in domestic and foreign economic development. We are also very willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with the mainland to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with the mainland."
Liu Weiguo, Mayor of Pengcheng City and Director of the Special Economic Zone Management Committee, introduced the planning status of the Special Economic Zone, relevant policies of the Special Economic Zone, and the cost advantages of the Special Economic Zone.
In particular, highlighting the advantages in labor costs is precisely the thorny issue faced by Hong Kong enterprises.
With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, especially due to the influence of Li Jianhui's butterfly effect, Hong Kong's economy has developed faster in this generation, and labor costs have naturally increased a lot. Especially those low value-added enterprises such as clothing and toys that are produced on behalf of others are currently facing
Increasing pressure.
Many companies have the idea of relocating, especially those clothing and toy companies in Sham Shui Po. If they continue like this, they will be overwhelmed by rent and labor costs.
Li Jianhui said with a smile: "I have some experience with the advantages of mainland labor costs. The production base established by Huihong Group in Shekou has greatly reduced its own production costs.
My subsidiaries Jingyi Electrical Appliances and Hongyu Clothing chose to place their production in Shekou for this reason."
At present, Li Jianhui is only considering placing labor-intensive industries with low requirements on employees’ educational level in Pengcheng. He is also prepared to wait a few more years for semiconductor and computer-related industries.
Currently, they cannot recruit independently when investing in the mainland. It is more difficult to recruit employees with a junior high school education or above. Chip-related industries are not suitable for entering the mainland at this time.
For future plans, Li Jianhui did not let the investment delegation return empty-handed. Taohua Datong will invest 50 million yuan to establish a beverage production base in Luohu.
After Li Jianhui took control of Taoda, he was naturally unwilling to be just an agent manufacturer and pay a large amount of profits to Coca-Cola every year.
According to Li Jianhui's arrangement, Taoda Beverage Company officially entered the construction of its own brand, and the first project was herbal tea.
He didn't pursue any Wong Lao Kat formula. There were many folk formulas for herbal teas. Taoda purchased several directly and developed his own Taoda herbal tea.
Originally, the production base was proposed to be built two months ago, but Li Jianhui deliberately declined and is waiting now.
The first person the inspection team visited when they came to Xiangjiang was Li Jianhui. Being able to get a good start here made these people very happy. The 50 million yuan project is considered a big project no matter where in the country.
Zhang Jimin said with a happy face: "Thank you very much Mr. Li for your trust in our government, and please rest assured that whether it is the construction stage of Taoda Beverage Company or the subsequent operation stage, we will do a good job in docking and solve the problem of Taobao as soon as possible.
Problems with big companies on the government’s side.”
…
After the talks, Li Jianhui, Peng Kezhi, Su Jiangting and others also accompanied the inspectors to the Taoda headquarters and production base for inspection.
Since the Taoda production base in Tianshui Industrial Park has not yet been built, and Taoda's two major platforms, Lane Crawford and IKEA, are constantly expanding, its order volume is also increasing.
The production base here not only has the production line in full operation, but also operates two shifts. Therefore, when Zhang Jimin and others entered the production workshop, they saw full production and a busy scene.
This also made the members of the inspection team more confident about Taoda's investment in Nanhu. Listening to the introduction of Taoda's deputy general manager, they believed that with the development of Taoda, Taoda's production company in Nanhu will continue to expand in the future, which will provide Peng with more confidence.
The city provides more jobs.
Moreover, the entry of a Taoda production company can also drive the development of more industries, such as cans, cartons, plastic bottles, etc.
Zhang Jimin feels that this is the focus of their recruitment next, especially Taoda’s cooperative enterprises in this area.
Even if it is difficult to recruit people here in Xiangjiang, he can definitely help relevant domestic companies build bridges with Taoda.
