This time, the negotiation speed between the two parties was surprisingly fast. In just one week, Liu reached a number of consensuses, including navigation and trade.
After agreement between the two parties, starting from April 1, Xiangjiang Airlines will launch direct flights from Taoyuan Airport to Ludao Airport, operated by Airbus A320. It is tentatively scheduled to be one flight per day, and will be increased according to passenger flow conditions.
At the same time, a direct sea route from Ludao to Taichung was opened, and ships under the Huangpu Shipping Group were temporarily designated to build a direct bridge for the exchange of goods between the two places.
In the past, the development of Ludao Special Economic Zone was far from being comparable to that of Pengcheng. Now that the opportunity has come, how could the Ludao government remain indifferent.
On March 15, the Ludao investment delegation headed by the leaders of the Ludao Municipal Party Committee came to Xiangjiang and specially held an investment recommendation meeting at the Xianghua Hotel.
Because of the benefits of cross-strait trade and navigation, there were quite a lot of guests attending the investment fair this time, including not only Li Jianhui, Li Guobao, Li Zhaoji, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, chartering king and other celebrities from the Hong Kong business community, but also Guo Henian, Huang Zhixiang and other Nanyang business celebrities.
Business representatives.
Meng Shengwei, leader of the Ludao Municipal Party Committee, personally introduced the current development of Ludao, as well as Ludao's development advantages and policies to the guests present, emphasizing Ludao's unique position in cross-strait navigation and trade.
Later, the chartering king, Guo Henian, and Taoda Group President Xu Hongfei also spoke as guest representatives.
Li Jianhui's official identity is the chairman of the board of directors of Xinjian Holding Group, the group president and the president of Xinjian Education Group. In addition, his ancestral home is not from Fujian Province, so he came here today with a pair of ears.
However, he attaches great importance to Ludao. In this life, because of his influence, Ludao has become a city with direct flights from Baodao. Its development will inevitably be completely different from that in the previous life. Not to mention compared to Pengcheng, but it is not the same.
It will be like the previous life.
In the previous life, talking about Ludao was more about tourism. The economy was not leading either in the country or in the province.
There will be changes now. Not to mention that some companies in Xiangjiang will put some production companies in Ludao for the East China market. The investment in Baodao is enough to make Ludao develop rapidly.
That evening, in the 306 conference hall of Xianghua Hotel, Meng Shengwei led many members of the investment investigation team to hold talks with Li Jianhui and many members of the Donghua Association.
"Mr. Li, we are here this time to communicate with Xiangjiang Airlines and Huangpu Shipping about specific flight shipping issues.
Secondly, I hope to deepen cooperation with Mr. Li’s companies, especially our airports and ports. With the deepening of cross-strait exchanges and the increase of commercial exchanges, I am afraid it will be difficult to need them.
In addition, as a special zone, Ludao has a very special significance in the East China market. Although many coastal cities in East China have become open cities, they are still unable to compare with our special zone in terms of policies."
“Ludao has always been a market that I attach great importance to, and I am very willing to increase cooperation with Ludao across its industries.
The construction of Taoda Group's food and beverage production base in Ludao is just the beginning of our cooperation, and we will continue to increase investment in Ludao in the future."
Li Jianhui also responded when talking about Xiangjiang Airlines flights and Whampoa Shipping Company’s shipping.
These two aspects are mainly adjusted according to market changes. Currently, Xiangjiang Airlines does not have plans to operate a large number of flights from Ludao to Taoyuan.
When it comes to airports and ports, Li Jianhui is very interested in this. You must know that with navigation and trade, Ludao has become a hub for cross-strait connectivity. Regardless of the airport or the port, the performance will explode.
Zhou Bingqian and Lin Fengyun also had an additional task, which was to conduct follow-up inspections of Ludao Airport and Port and communicate with Ludao on cooperation.
Speaking of which, Ludao's status in Li Jianhui's heart was lower after all, and it did not have the distance advantage of Pengcheng.
This also leads to the fact that although the current Xinjian Department layout is relatively complete, there are not many companies located in Ludao.
Fortunately, Sister Li Jianhui is going to enter the beverage industry and has established Chunhua Carbonated Beverage Company and Xuemei Dairy Company, but the production base has not yet been decided.
Now that Ludao has become a bridge connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, its status has increased significantly. Donghua Association will naturally pay more attention to it, so the production of these two companies will be located in Ludao.
At present, the companies under the Tung Wah Association's Xiangjiang Branch can only invest in these projects. As for the joint venture to build the building, Ludao does not have a strong will, and the Tung Wah Association also has no such interest.
Guxie
After all, Tung Wah Club has successively entered into joint ventures with Yuzhou, Rongcheng, and Shanghai. The funds required are not a small amount, and each company is continuing to expand in major markets such as Baodao, Southeast Asia, and Japan, and there is not much financial resources.
Continue to build joint ventures with mainland cities to build commercial buildings.
The senior officials of Ludao are also aware of some of the layout of the Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association. They are quite satisfied with the fact that they can reach these agreements tonight.
After the discussion in this regard, Meng Shengwei said: "Mr. Li, I know that you have a strong influence in Baodao's business community, and many well-known entrepreneurs in Baodao are also members of the Donghua Economic Cooperation Association.
On April 1st, both sides of the Taiwan Strait will relax some restrictions on business. By then, companies in Baodao will also be able to invest in industries that Hong Kong companies can invest in our side.
We in Ludao also plan to hold an investment meeting for Baodao enterprises on April 1st after witnessing the opening of cross-strait navigation. We also hope that Mr. Li can come to attend and be able to make connections to promote Baodao companies to invest in our Ludao.
Prosperity."
"April 1 is a historic moment for both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Naturally, I hope to witness the opening of cross-strait navigation in person. I will definitely go to Ludao in person and wait at Ludao Airport for the first direct flight from Taoyuan Airport to Ludao Airport.
Landed safely.
I also hope that cross-strait business exchanges will become more and more prosperous. I also believe that Baodao companies attach no less importance to the mainland market than our Hong Kong companies.
With this opening of trade and navigation, a large number of Baodao enterprises will inevitably enter the mainland, and Ludao will definitely be their first choice.
I personally am also willing to contribute to the economic development of Ludao, and will provide assistance in communicating with some enterprises in Ludao and Baodao.
Especially Huaxin Holdings, Datong Holdings, Formosa Plastics Holdings, Ting Hsin Group, Huaxing Group, Hon Hai Technology Group and other member companies of the Donghua Economic Cooperation Association."
Meng Shengwei was very happy to hear this. With Li Jianhui's words, he believed that the investment fair on April 1 would definitely achieve gratifying results.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Ting Hsin Group is willing to establish a food and beverage production base in Ludao, it will be able to provide at least thousands of jobs.
You must know that Ting Hsin Group's development in the field of food and beverage is not even comparable to that of Taota Group. This can be seen from the market value of the stock market. The total market value of Taota Group has been suppressed by Ting Hsin Group for more than a year, especially
It is in the instant noodle project that Taoda has always been beaten.
At present, Taoda instant noodles have entered the mainland market first, and there are not many competitors, allowing it to dominate. Especially after it reached a cooperation with the Ministry of Railways to allow Taoda instant noodles to be sold on trains, its influence has increased rapidly.
Meng Shengwei believes that Ting Hsin Group is definitely not willing to see this situation. If there is an opportunity this time, the other party will definitely enter on a large scale.
He also admires Li Jianhui very much. Taota Group can be regarded as his biological son, and Ting Hsin Group can be regarded as a godson at most. However, Xin Jian mainly sells Lane Crawford and IKEA convenience stores, but Watsons does not treat the products of these two groups differently.
It is precisely because of this that none of the major associations in Hong Kong and the Nanyang Association can compare with the Tung Wah Association in terms of the closeness and centripetal force within the association.
Many members of the Nanyang Society and the Xianghua Society were from Min Province, so they seemed closer to Ludao, but the internal industrial development made Meng Shengwei look down on them.
Not to mention the internal centripetal force, there are not many innovation points in its industrial layout. It is either engaged in low-tech industries such as real estate, finance and hotels, or it is engaged in labor-intensive industries with little added value.
They are reluctant to enter high-tech industries with unclear returns on investment, and they are reluctant to invest in infrastructure projects with large investment returns and long return cycles.
On the contrary, within the Tung Wah Association, various industries are quite complete, including light and heavy industries, high-tech industries are developing very rapidly, and investment in infrastructure is also increasing.
In the past, Tung Wah Association's financial and real estate companies dominated the association. Now, with the rise of various industries, real estate and finance account for less than half of Tung Wah Association's market share.
If several major associations would almost die without real estate and finance, then the Donghua Association would suffer a lot of hemorrhage at best. Without these two, it would still be a business giant.
This is also the main reason why Meng Shengwei first chose to have separate talks with Donghua Association. He hopes that more high-tech industries from Donghua Association will invest in Ludao in the future.
