Li Jianhui originally wanted to return to Xiangjiang, but he had to postpone his return plan because of an old man.
Mr. Hu, who once ruled in northern Sichuan, returned to Guocheng after many years and visited a representative Guocheng enterprise and several universities. The old man spoke highly of Guocheng over the years.
When inspecting the Guocheng Silk Company, he even stated that the central government's policy of reform and opening up was unswerving.
Although Guocheng does not have the geographical advantages of coastal cities, nor does it have policy support for opening up cities, Guocheng has people and advantages that many cities do not have.
Guocheng is the hometown of Li Minglin, and of course the ancestral home of Li Jianhui's five siblings. The back represents the five wealthy Xiangjiang families, namely the Xinjian Li family, the Xinyang Li family, the Guanghua Zhang family, the Xinbin Wang family, and the Jianrong Zhou family.
At the symposium after the inspection, the old man even said eloquently: "If we want to develop our economy, we can't just do it behind closed doors. Our enterprises not only lack capital and technology, but also lack advanced management experience."
.
We cannot be timid about accepting investors just because they are capitalists.
We need to see the contribution that the arrival of these capital, technical personnel and management personnel will make to the development of enterprises and the local economy.
Although Guocheng is now just an ordinary small town in the interior, I have worked here for three years and have a special affection for it. I hope that Guocheng can prosper and develop.
Let it become a banner for ordinary inland cities, set an example for ordinary inland cities, and let these cities know that even without geographical advantages or special policy advantages, they can still develop on their own."
Whether you once set an example by investing in and building factories in Pengcheng, or you later invested heavily in projects such as highways, ports, and airports, this is enough to prove it.
But I believe that both of us can cooperate for a long time, and we both have enough common interests.
Because we don’t know each other well and have not been engaged in reform and opening up for a long time, there have been some minor problems between the two sides due to insufficient trust.
This time, Mr. Li led senior officials from the Xinjian Department to come to Sichuan and Sichuan provinces and jointly collaborated on multiple projects with the three municipal governments of Guocheng, Chongqing, Rongcheng and enterprises. This also shows that Mr. Li has trust in our mainland market.
It’s just that our mainland market is very large. It’s not just Sichuan and Sichuan provinces, and it’s not just three cities: Guocheng, Chongqing, and Rongcheng.
For example, Silk Company and Chunfei Daily Chemicals in Guocheng, Jinque Electric Appliances in Yuzhou, Changan Group, Tianfu Cola, etc. are all representative examples.
That night at the Guocheng Guest House, Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi, as well as the senior officials of the Xinjian Department and the old gentleman walked into the conference hall.
As for the negative impact on the development of the mainland caused by Li Jianhui's focus on Nanyang, Xin Jianxi's investment in Sichuan and Shu Province can fully make up for it.
And in my opinion, the vigorous development of mainland enterprises is more beneficial to the economic development of the mainland than the entry of foreign-funded enterprises.
When talking about the global economy, Li Jianhui mentioned more problems and obstacles to the global development of enterprises.
He has also discussed with Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, Mr. D and others. Since Li Jianhui is unwilling to give up his inner ambition, moderate cooperation with Li Jianhui is the most beneficial option for both parties.
The two sides discussed some views on the global economy, international situation and domestic development.
…
I think no matter how Mr. Li's industries develop, and no matter how Mr. Li lays out his business, it will never be possible to achieve the global market you have in mind.
…”
The old man also knew some of Li Jianhui's inner thoughts and worries, so he couldn't say much about it, let alone give Li Jianhui a promise.
I hope Mr. Li can lead the Xin Jian Department and even the Tung Wah Association’s senior officials to visit the mainland more. I believe there will be countless cooperation projects that will be beneficial to both parties.
Facing this 70-year-old man who was willing to personally discuss investment cooperation with a businessman for the sake of domestic economic development, Li Jianhui felt a sense of admiration even though his heart had gradually become cold-blooded.
"Mr. Li, I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to understand why these difficulties and obstacles arise.
The old gentleman said a lot, and the logic was quite clear. It is a pity that Li Jianhui's growing ambition in recent years has long been unwilling to be a law-abiding person, and naturally it is impossible to hand over the initiative to others.
After thinking about Xinjian Department's current industry and layout in the mainland, Li Jianhui said: "For no other reason than the contribution he has made to the development of Guocheng over the past few years, I cannot brush off his
face.
Moreover, I am also clear about the situation faced by the Donghua Association led by Li Sheng. The development of our mainland market will also give the Donghua Association more confidence to confront the capital of the Japanese, American and Korean consortiums."
The current world situation is already full of undercurrents. Mr. Li's desperate decision to lead Tung Wah Hui Enterprises to bet on the Nanyang market may not necessarily be the right choice.
And the old man did indeed hit the point. The growth of the mainland market will be very beneficial to Donghua Club. This is the main reason why Li Jianhui has always been unwilling to give up the mainland market.
In this regard, the old gentleman also put forward some of his own opinions.
Charter King and others donated to the Yongcheng government to establish Yongcheng University, and Li Chaoren and others donated to Tuocheng to establish Tuocheng University.
On the other hand, our country is far better than Nanyang in terms of population and market prospects. Moreover, the main members of the Donghua Society share the same roots as us. They are all descendants of the Yanhuang Dynasty and belong to the same country. We also have the strength and courage to say no to any country.
Therefore, there was no response to the old man’s words. He just said that he was very optimistic about the mainland market and would increase investment in the mainland in the future according to the needs of industrial development.
In terms of industrial development, we will increase the amount of financing for domestic enterprises and promote the development and growth of domestic enterprises.
"Mr. Li, I know that you are a very independent person and a nationalist with extremely high sentiments. I also believe that you are extremely optimistic about the future of our domestic market.
Not to mention that there are many countries around the world with different nationalities, beliefs, ideologies, etc. Even if they are unified, there will be protective barriers in various places overtly and covertly to maintain local industry and economic development.
Even if Mr. Li pulls strings to unite several small countries closely, when they really face a crisis in the future, they will not have the strength to stand up for Donghua, and Nanyang will not have the trump card of strategic deterrence.
My ancestral home is in Guocheng. After I return to Xiangjiang, I will contact Zhang Guangwen, Chen Zhiyong, Li Jianyang and other business people whose ancestral home is in Guocheng to support the Guocheng government in establishing Guocheng University with charitable donations.
…”
The old gentleman knew that Li Jianhui still had no plans to adjust the current development plans of the Xinjian Department or even the Tung Wah Association. Apart from donating money to build Guocheng University, it was basically just empty talk.
Moreover, he understood that the donation to Guocheng University was still for his own sake. Otherwise, he didn’t know when Li Jianhui would follow the example of Charter King and Li Chaoren and donate to build a university in his hometown.
Seeing that he could not get Li Jianhui to change his development plan, the old man no longer discussed investment matters with Li Jianhui, but turned the topic to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
