Li Jianhui did not leave the Yuzhou government with nothing this time. Chen Zhiyong reached a cooperation agreement with the Yuzhou Municipal Government on behalf of Xinhui Hotel. Both parties jointly invested 150 million yuan to build the Jialingjiang Hotel in the desert area.
In addition, Chen Xinyi donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars on behalf of the Xinjian Charitable Foundation for the construction of rural primary schools in Yuzhou.
Because the weather was pretty good today, Li Jianhui and others chose to return to Guocheng that afternoon. Due to the limited space at Huahua Airport, they could only take the Y-5 aircraft to take off from Baishiyi Airport.
This is the first time Li Jianhui has flown on such a small plane. With only 11 seats, it seems a bit crowded, and the comfort level is far from comparable to his private plane.
Because the plane was small and the flight altitude was relatively low, this time they enjoyed the scenery along the way from Yuzhou to Guocheng.
In this era, there were not as many green hills and wastelands as there would be a few decades later. What you could see were patches of land, and even the mountain ridges were full of crops.
When arriving at Huahua Airport, Li Jianhui and others were also valued and welcomed by the senior officials of the Guocheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government.
Although he lived in Yuzhou in his previous life and knew a little about the development of Yuzhou, Li Jianhui was quite unfamiliar with Guocheng. The only thing he knew about was Baoning City under the jurisdiction of Guocheng. As one of the four ancient city 5A-level scenic spots, he also traveled to Suzhou in his previous life.
Once.
In this life, his father is from Guocheng, and his father-in-law Chen Zhiyong is also from Guocheng, so he is bound to have connections with Guocheng.
The hometown plot is deeply rooted among Chinese people, and wealth is like walking at night without returning home. Let’s not mention other places, let’s talk about Xiangjiang. Most of the rich have donated money to their hometowns in the mainland. Some have built schools, some have built bridges and roads, and some have donated money to the local area.
School donations.
Li Zhaoji from Shunde, Li Chaoren from Chaoshan, and now Li Jianhui, they are all outstanding representatives of businessmen who put profit first in everything they do, but they did not consider the rate of return for assistance from their hometowns.
Chen Zhiyong expressed this more vividly. Xinhui Group does not have any business in the mainland. Just because Guocheng is Chen Zhiyong's hometown, Xinhui Group donates HKD 5 million to Guocheng every year for the construction of rural primary schools.
Unlike Yuzhou senior officials, Guocheng senior officials' discussions with Li Jianhui and others were more of a thank you and did not mention commercial cooperation.
In recent years, thanks to donations from the Xinjian Charitable Foundation and the Xinhui Charitable Foundation, Guocheng has led most of its brother cities in the province in rural basic education, even compared to the two big brothers in the province, Rongcheng and Yuzhou.
Favorably.
Especially in Guocheng County, where Li Jianhui and Chen Zhiyong's ancestral home is, all villages already have a newly built primary school, three-fifths of which are Xinhui Primary School and two-fifths are Xinjian Primary School.
Now when the province holds an education work meeting, the leaders in charge of the Guocheng area and the leaders of the Education Commission and Education Bureau sit calmly and upright in the venue, and they no longer have the same demeanor as they did a few years ago.
“I am very happy to hear Commissioner Wu’s introduction, which shows that the donation from our Xinjian Charitable Foundation is worth every penny.
Education is the future of a country and a nation. I have always attached great importance to education. I also own an education group. Currently, I own two primary schools, two middle schools, a wholly-owned Xinjian University in Xiangjiang, and a joint venture to establish Xiangjiang Film and Television.
Communication University, Xiangjiang University of Finance and Economics, Xiangjiang Aviation University and Xiangjiang Institute of Architectural Engineering.
I always believe that the development of a local company relies on talents. Our Xinjian Charity Foundation will continue to support the development of education in Guocheng in the future.
In addition to continuing to assist in the construction of rural primary schools, we will also support the development of key education and higher education in Guocheng in the future.
I heard that Guocheng has three institutions of higher learning, and on behalf of the Xin Jian Charitable Foundation, I donated HK$50 million to these schools respectively."
Hearing that Li Jianhui owned so many universities, the senior officials of Guocheng were quite shocked. You must know that they only have three universities in one area, which is already at the forefront of the entire Sichuan and Sichuan provinces. And Li Jianhui is only a first-term businessman, which is a bit beyond the pale.
their imagination.
At the same time, I also lamented that Xiangjiang deserves to be a world-class metropolis. Look at the education. Li Jianhui alone has five groups of universities. I can’t imagine how many universities there are in Xiangjiang.
This is because they do not understand the situation in Xiangjiang. Just a few years ago, there were fewer universities in Xiangjiang than in Guocheng. There were only two in total, Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University.
It has only been in the past few years that efforts have been made, and there are already eleven universities with degree programs under construction.
Li Jianhui's donation this time also surprised the senior management of Guocheng. Although the Guocheng government has no jurisdiction over the three universities, these three universities are in Guocheng after all. The school has developed well, which is also very beneficial to the local development.
Later, Chen Zhiyong also donated HK$10 million to Guocheng Middle School, Guocheng Jialing Middle School, and Longmen Middle School respectively on behalf of the Xinhui Charity Foundation.
For the senior officials of Guocheng, this is simply an unexpected surprise. Unlike the three colleges and universities, the three middle schools are under the management of the Guocheng government. The three middle schools have developed well and have their share of political achievements.
10 million Hong Kong dollars is not much, but it is definitely a lot. Even if it is directly converted at the current official exchange rate, it is more than 3 million yuan. This amount of funds is enough to greatly improve the hardware facilities of the three middle schools.
Li Jianhui felt very comfortable during this meeting and did not need to think about which aspects of cooperation were more suitable.
During the dinner, Guo Wubin, a senior official of Guocheng City, once again thanked Li Jianhui and Chen Zhiyong for their support of education in their hometown.
"Mr. Li, we have watched the little girl from the Wu family grow up. We are strongly opposed to her late departure from public office to become a self-employed person.
She gave us many reasons, the core of which is your deeds. You are not only outstanding in business ability, but also great in local economic development.
I also heard that Xiangjiang, whether it is Tseung Kwan O or Tin Shui Wai, has become a new city in just a few years under your layout, and its economic development has also been rapid. I wonder if you can provide us with some suggestions for the economic development of Guocheng?"
Li Jianhui did not expect that Guo Wubin would ask him to provide suggestions for the economic development of Guocheng, which made him a little confused.
He didn't understand Guocheng's economic situation at all, and it was only the early stage of reform, and many policies had not yet been implemented, so some of his suggestions were useless.
Except for a few special zones, current domestic reforms are mainly in rural areas, and he cannot give much experience in this regard.
"Secretary Guo, I don't know much about Guocheng, so it's difficult to give useful suggestions at the moment.
From a business perspective, my advice to companies in Guocheng is to pay attention to product quality, keep up with market trends, and find a precise positioning on similar products. We will produce what kind of products these people like.
Focus on supporting the development of a group of leading enterprises to build their reputation and make them become the pillar enterprises of Guocheng and drive the economic development of Guocheng.
As for the specific industries to support, that is up to you to decide. I can only say that if you can’t find a better choice, just support what we are drinking now.”
What was the best in A-shares in the previous life was undoubtedly liquor, and there were many famous liquors in Sichuan and Sichuan provinces. In the previous life of Guocheng, there were no famous liquors, but in this era there are still plenty of opportunities to develop a nationally renowned liquor brand.
Li Jianhui couldn't think of any representative enterprises in Guocheng in his previous life, so he could only try in this area. Moreover, it was relatively simple and did not require much capital and technology in the early stage.
If the city government really wants to strongly support a liquor company, I believe the future development prospects will definitely be good.
