After breakfast on May 9, Li Jianguo and his two companions took a car from Nantong Sijian and were taken to Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Because they had signed a preliminary investment agreement, the three were in a very happy mood. They spent the whole morning touring the island and found a small restaurant to have lunch at noon.
Li Jianguo was not very fond of southern food. Fortunately, Sun Zongyuan had a few fried pancakes in his backpack. He fried two vegetables and ordered a pig's head. The pancake didn't taste very good, so Sun Zongyuan casually asked the waiter:
“Do you have garlic sauce?”
"No, what is garlic sauce?"
"Is there any Lao Gan Ma?"
"Brother, I already have a filial mother, what do I need Lao Gan Ma for?"
Sun Zongyu suddenly remembered that garlic sauce and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce didn't exist in that era. The most similar thing he ate was the peanut chili sauce his grandmother made with a stone mill during the Chinese New Year. It was fragrant and spicy and so delicious. Should he go home and ask his grandmother to make a few bottles for him to eat regularly?
Well, it’s not made in this era. I can definitely build a factory to make it on my own. It seems that in the past life, it was exported to the United States at a very high price and sold very well.
I asked the restaurant waiter for a few green onions and rolled them into the pancakes, and then it tasted good.
The shallots that waiters give you would be thrown on the roadside in Shandong Province, and no one would want them. They are too small, too weak, and too tasteless. The shallots grown in Shandong Province are big onions, which are taller than people. People in Shandong Province sometimes joke about it:
Who do you think you are?
You are not even as tall as a onion, what are you trying to show off?
Shandong Province, network abbreviation:
Onion Province is the only province in the country named after its specialty.
We arrived at the Hongqiao Airport waiting room at 3 pm by air.
County Magistrate Sui Gang and others were all present. Li Jianguo showed them the investment agreement signed with Nantong Sijian. Sui Gang and others hugged each other excitedly, waved their fists and cheered loudly, attracting the attention of airport security.
If Li Jianguo and the other two had not obtained this investment agreement, the investment promotion team would have accomplished nothing and would have been too ashamed to see the people of Anyang when they returned home. But with this agreement, they are proud of themselves. It is worth celebrating that they are the first of the five special teams to make a breakthrough!
The flight from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Guangzhou landed safely at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport after a three-hour flight at 4:30.
Except for Sun Zongyuan who had taken a plane at the last Canton Fair and Li Jianguo who had taken a military transport plane in the army, it was the first time for the others to take a plane. When they got off the plane, everyone's face was pale with fear. The director of the Economic and Trade Commission sat on the ground and vomited a lot as soon as he got off the plane.
At 8:30, after arriving at the hotel and meeting up with Yang Weiguo, Xu Rui and others, they took a taxi to a restaurant that Meng Xiangguo had contacted in advance for dinner.
This restaurant was opened by the children of cadres who came from Shandong to the south. It claims to be a Shandong cuisine restaurant, but the dishes are not what you would expect from authentic Shandong people. After a few dishes were served, Xu Rui, Xu Mei and Ma Bin went straight to the kitchen and made a few authentic Shandong dishes by themselves, leaving the chefs watching nearby dumbfounded. What? Are all people from Shandong a chef?
Because they were happy and the Canton Fair would open the day after tomorrow, they drank a lot of wine tonight to release the anger that had been pent up for the past few days. Sun Zongyuan also had two drinks with the leaders. At night, he asked Xu Rui to get up and pour water for him twice, which caused him to complain the next day.
In the next two days, Sun Zongyuan focused on how to participate in the exhibition. Sometimes, regional leaders would pull Sun Zongyuan over to provide consulting advice to a certain exhibitor. Some companies didn't really listen. They would listen to what the leaders said respectfully, but would ignore what Sun Zongyuan asked. Sun Zongyuan could do nothing to help and just let things take their course.
With County Magistrate Sui Gang around to handle the reception and coordination work for regional leaders, Sun Zongyuan was able to save a lot of energy and focus on his own company's participation in the exhibition.
Sun Zongyuan and Li Jiawei spent two hours discussing some work in a small private room in a restaurant.
Now the Japanese yen exchange rate has appreciated from 175 yen to one dollar to 154 yen, and the amount in the account of Hong Kong Yuanda Industrial and Trade Company has reached 1.1 billion US dollars.
Sun Zongyuan arranged for Li Jiawei to sell all his assets immediately when the Japanese yen appreciated to 135, and used US$1.2 billion to buy Hong Kong real estate. The remaining funds and the next re-export trade funds would be retained as investment funds for mainland construction.
Li Jiawei had spent less than $800,000 to acquire two small, near-bankrupt businesses in Hong Kong, all with complete documentation. One was an electronics factory specializing in electronic watches and calculators, the other a food factory specializing in instant noodles. Both companies' management and technical staff were present and awaiting further instructions from their boss.
Sun Zongyuan arranged that management and technical personnel who stayed to enter the mainland for production would be paid three times the Hong Kong salary and 5% of the total profit at the end of the year as a total dividend. Production in the two factories would continue, and those who disobeyed management would be dismissed.
For the re-export canned food trade, 40% of the profits will be retained by Hong Kong companies, continuing to strengthen our trade strength in the international community.
Li Jiawei has spent $200,000 to secretly obtain production technology for liquid crystal display module technology, and has confirmed that two R&D personnel can continue to engage in R&D in Hong Kong with an annual salary of $100,000.
Sun Zongyuan was very happy to hear this and asked for a copy of the technical materials to be given to him. After confirmation by mainland experts, he would further hire the two Japanese R&D personnel.
Let Li Jiawei pay attention to the information of ASML, a Dutch lithography company. He can take all measures, including investing, purchasing or cooperating with it, to participate in it, recruit its R&D personnel or obtain core technology as much as possible.
Use all means to obtain Japan's five-axis CNC machine tool technology and finished products, but be careful to use safe and clever means, and make decisive withdrawal when necessary.
These two technologies can be employed by Hong Kong community groups at high prices. As long as it is beneficial to the result, we should not overemphasize the legality of the means.
After having dinner with his leader, Sun Zongyuan walked alone on the streets of Guangzhou, enjoying the night view of Guangzhou.
A young man in ordinary clothes walked up to him quietly and said to him:
"Sun Zongyuan, don't look back. I'm from the National Security Bureau. Follow me."
Sun Zongyuan took a look at the young man. He was very capable and well built. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an idler.
Without saying a word, he followed him leisurely. After walking for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, they arrived at a room in a warehouse behind a store.
After entering the room, the young man closed the door and quietly disappeared. A middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the inner suite, poured a glass of water for Sun Zongyuan, sat down and said to Sun Zongyuan:
"My last name is Wang. You can just call me Old Wang. Don't be nervous. We're from the National Security Bureau. We're aware of some of your business activities. You're a patriotic businessman and a good cadre. We trust you. The main reason we invited you here is to discuss cooperation."
Guoan also secretly followed Li Jiawei's operation and invested 1,000 US dollars in speculation on the Japanese yen in the early stage. Now it has made a profit of 500 million to 600 million US dollars, and everyone is very happy.
