Chapter 468 Investment Negotiation Completed
The Shenzhen company is developing very smoothly. Wu Yucheng used his connections to secure several large orders, which brought in considerable profits.
The construction of business hotels and office buildings is also proceeding at a rapid pace.
The company's other businesses are also operating normally and developing gradually.
Liu Yuhe, Chen Weiguo, and others travel all over the country to expand the company's business, and they are so busy that they are rarely seen.
As Chen Ruiqing had expected, Zhou Mingyuan's proposal was ultimately rejected by the province.
The Provincial Forestry Bureau believes that the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau itself has a lumber mill, a fiberboard mill, a plywood mill, an ice pop mill, etc.
Moreover, the forest farms under the Forestry Bureau already have timber processing plants, so there is no need to build a separate comprehensive timber processing plant.
In particular, the collaboration with Hong Kong capital is unprecedented and is likely to cause a lot of trouble.
Zhou Mingyuan tried many connections, but his suggestion was still not adopted, so he had no choice but to contact Sheng Xiping.
When Sheng Xiping found out, he was speechless.
Perhaps this is a common problem among many state-owned enterprises: complacency, stagnation, lack of reform and innovation spirit, and unwillingness to keep up with the pace of the outside world.
By the time you've been left far behind and try to adjust your direction, it's too late.
Since things weren't going to work out with the Forestry Bureau, there was no need to force it. So Sheng Xiping called Chen Ruiqing.
"Brother, I've been busy with the Spring Trade Fair these past few days. In a couple of days, I'll be leading a team to Guangzhou."
In this way, you can use your Gangcheng Company's name to get an admission ticket and go take a look around.
"Then let's find an opportunity to meet in Guangzhou and talk things over in detail," Chen Ruiqing said on the other end of the phone.
Sheng Xiping thought this made sense. Since he was in the import and export business, he should go to the Spring Trade Fair. Who knows, he might discover some business opportunities?
Therefore, Sheng Xiping used the name of Gangcheng Company to obtain an admission invitation from the organizer of the Guangzhou Spring Trade Fair.
Afterwards, Sheng Xiping sent the general manager of Gangcheng Company with a few people over.
Gangcheng Company mainly helps Shenzhen handle various import and export procedures.
That general manager was really just a figurehead; he was just someone we paid to be there for appearances, and he never actually got to handle the core business.
The Guangzhou Spring Trade Fair is usually held from April 15th to May 5th each year, in three phases.
The first phase mainly consisted of machinery and equipment, auto parts, chemical products, and hardware, while the second phase mainly consisted of kitchenware, ceramic products, glass products, furniture, rattan handicrafts, clocks and glasses, etc.
The third phase includes clothing, fur, textiles, carpets and tapestries, food, medicine and health products, etc.
Sheng Xiping wasn't very interested in the first episode, but he went to watch the second and third episodes and found a lot of useful information.
To Sheng Xiping's surprise, people from the county also came to participate in the Spring Trade Fair this year, which was quite novel.
In Sheng Xiping's memory, Fusong is an agricultural county with a less developed industry and no particularly large industrial enterprises.
Fusong's main specialty is ginseng, which is all purchased in full by the provincial ginseng and deer antler company and then exported, so there's no need for it to participate in the Spring Trade Fair.
Sheng Xiping initially thought this was just another person there to make up the numbers, so he didn't pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, a state-owned ginseng farm under the jurisdiction of Fusong stood out at this Spring Trade Fair, earning more than three million US dollars in foreign exchange.
This number is truly astonishing.
It's worth noting that Kyrgyzstan only began experimenting with self-operated exports in 1979, and by 1983, the province's total exports of all kinds of goods exceeded 100 million US dollars.
The majority of these products are agricultural and sideline products such as corn, soybeans, ginseng, soybean cake, frozen beef, and dried fern shoots, as well as industrial raw materials such as ferrotungsten and ferrochrome.
Products that don't involve much technology are generally not allowed to be submitted for exhibition.
Sheng Xiping's company's total export value of various agricultural and sideline products last year was only three to four million US dollars.
This county-owned state-owned ginseng farm generated over three million yuan in foreign exchange earnings from just one spring trade fair, a truly remarkable achievement.
"Brother, congratulations! I didn't expect such a dark horse to emerge at this year's Spring Trade Fair. Our province's foreign exchange earnings have reached a new high. This is great news!"
After the third phase of the Spring Trade Fair concluded, Chen Ruiqing finally finished her work.
Sheng Xiping invited Chen Ruiqing out, and the two found a small tavern where they drank and chatted.
"That's right! The province originally just wanted to give them a spot to test the waters, but who would have thought that there would be such a talented person at the field, and they suddenly made a huge splash this year."
"Oh? This ginseng farm is also in Fusong, I think it's in a place called Donggang, how far is it from your Songjiang River?"
Chen Ruiqing knew the counties and cities under his jurisdiction like the back of his hand, but he wasn't so clear about the townships and towns below.
"Not far away, Donggang Township is adjacent to Songjianghe Town, with a small grove of trees in between."
"The village of Dajianchang, which is next to Qianchuan Forest Farm, is under the jurisdiction of Donggang Township," Sheng Xiping explained to Chen Ruiqing with a smile.
"Hey, we're so close by. Do you know anyone at the ginseng farm?"
"Maybe you two can come up with some new ideas by exchanging ideas." Chen Ruiqing's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea.
“I don’t know him. My side is under the Forestry Bureau, while Donggang is a local area. We don’t usually have any contact.” Sheng Xiping shook his head.
To be honest, he was quite curious about this capable person at the ginseng farm, and if he had the chance, he really should meet him.
"Okay, wait for my message. I'll arrange a meeting for you and introduce you to several leaders from Tonghua and Fusong, as well as those two from the ginseng farm."
Didn't you want to go back and invest in building a factory? Now is a great opportunity.
