In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

March 1980, 3, morning.

On this day, Lin Haoran got up early.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, he went out with two bodyguards.

Today, they are going to the mainland and have made an appointment with Bao Yugang to meet at the Wharf Building before 10 am.

At 9:50, Lin Haoran's Rolls-Royce stopped downstairs of the Wharf Building on time.

At this time, Bao Yugang was already here.

Lin Haoran also noticed that there was a minibus parked nearby with a driver sitting in the cab waiting.

After a while, Guo Henian's car also came over, and Guo Xiaohan still followed behind him. It was obvious that Guo Henian was planning to take his niece with him when he went to the mainland this time.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off. Just leave your car here. I have arranged a company minibus to drive directly to Luohu Port. Once we get there, a special car from the mainland will pick us up." Bao Yugang said with a smile.

Lin Haoran and Guo Henian had no objection. After all, they were not familiar with the route to the mainland, and it would naturally be much easier for them to have Bao Yugang leading the way.

As for the port, it is naturally more convenient and safer to have special personnel to receive you, and there is really no need to drive yourself.

So everyone got on the minibus.

"Uncle Bao, how many times have you been to Guangzhou?" Lin Haoran asked curiously after everyone was seated.

“I’ve only been to Guangzhou once. Actually, I went back to the mainland for the first time a few years ago. I’ve been back a few times since then, but I went to Beijing and my hometown in Zhejiang more often.

Every time I go back, the relevant departments in the mainland give me a warm reception. As a Chinese, I certainly hope that the mainland can prosper and develop." Bao Yugang replied with emotion.

Bao Yugang officially left the mainland at the age of 31 to start a business in Hong Kong, so he still has very deep feelings for the mainland.

In contrast, Guo Henian's life experience is quite different.

He was born and raised in Malaysia and spent almost his entire life in Southeast Asia. Naturally, it was difficult for him to understand Bao Yugang's feelings for his hometown.

However, Guo Henian's father was also an immigrant from the mainland, and the mainland was also his father's hometown, so he was not without feelings for the mainland.

During the journey, the three of them chatted about topics related to the mainland.

Bao Yugang naturally became the one who spoke the most because of his rich experience and deep understanding of the mainland.

Guo Henian interrupted from time to time, while Lin Haoran was mainly a listener, and he listened very attentively.

Although Lin Haoran grew up in the mainland in his previous life, that was a world decades later.

He has not personally experienced the mainland of that era, and his only impression of it may be from the scenes in movies or photos in social media.

Starting from the Wharf Building in Tsim Sha Tsui, they crossed the city center of the entire Kowloon Peninsula, drove through the Lion Rock Tunnel, passed through the Sha Tin city area along Sha Tin Road, then turned into Tolo Highway, heading north, crossing mountains and hills.

Passing Fanling Highway and then along Luohu Road, we finally arrived at the Xiangjiang side of Luohu Port.

In fact, the distance is not far, only about 40 kilometers from Tsim Sha Tsui to Luohu Port, but it also takes more than an hour. The main reason is that the road is difficult to walk on, and there are many winding roads.

The border officials at the Luohu Port in Hong Kong naturally did not dare to make things difficult for Lin Haoran and others, as they were all big shots.

So, after going through all the necessary procedures, they were released.

After passing the border and entering the inland port, we were already received by special personnel from Pengcheng.

"Hello, Mr. Bao, Mr. Guo, and Mr. Lin! Welcome to Pengcheng!" The reception manager shook hands enthusiastically with Lin Haoran and others one by one. Obviously, they had checked the information of several people in advance, so they were able to recognize each one quickly and accurately.

After the greetings, everyone got on a minibus again.

However, this minibus was no longer Bao Yugang’s, but a special car arranged by the mainland.

Here, we still have to follow their arrangements, otherwise Lin Haoran and others won’t even know how to get there.

According to the plan, they will first conduct a one-day inspection in Pengcheng, and then set off for Yangcheng the next morning to meet and negotiate with relevant leaders there.

Lin Haoran was filled with infinite curiosity about Pengcheng of this era.

In his previous life, he worked in Pengcheng. At that time, Pengcheng was already an international metropolis, as prosperous as Hong Kong, and even its GDP had surpassed that of Hong Kong.

It is a city that creates miracles!

However, the first impression Lin Haoran got from Pengcheng was poverty and backwardness.

The urban appearance of Hong Kong is undoubtedly very modern, but the streets of Pengcheng are not even comparable to those of the remote new towns in Hong Kong.

When the minibus slowly drove into the center of Pengcheng, the person in charge specially arranged for them to get off the bus and stroll around the streets so that they could feel the charm of the city more intuitively.

Walking on the streets of Pengcheng, the first thing they noticed was the slightly narrow roads that were filled with a strong atmosphere of life.

Most of the roads are unpolished cobblestone roads and dirt roads. The occasional potholes raise clouds of dust when run over by old bicycles, adding a rustic feel to the street.

On both sides of the street, low brick and wooden houses are scattered around, with mottled walls, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Although there are not many shops, each one exudes a unique charm. The store names are written crookedly with a brush on the simple signs, revealing a unique sense of intimacy.

The grocery store is filled with a wide variety of daily necessities, from pots and pans to needles and thread. Although not complete, they are enough to meet the basic needs of residents.

In the small restaurant, the aroma of simple food filled the air. There was no luxurious decoration, only a few simple tables and chairs, but the diners were eating with gusto. The pedestrians on the road were dressed simply, with blue and gray cloth being the mainstream. Although the style was simple, it revealed a kind of simple beauty.

Their faces were filled with anticipation and longing for life, and they walked hurriedly but in high spirits.

Children chased and played in the streets. Their games were simple and innocent. A rubber band or a marble could bring them endless joy.

In the distance, machines roared at the construction site and the busy figures of the workers sparkled in the sun, contributing their own strength to the construction of this rising city.

The Pengcheng before him formed a sharp contrast with the international metropolis that Lin Haoran remembered decades later.

He could hardly imagine that this city, which was still a little backward today, would shine so brightly in the future.

Along the way, Li Weiguo and Li Weidong dared not speak, for fear of causing trouble for their boss.

They smuggled into Hong Kong from the Shekou area of ​​Pengcheng.

In order to explore the way, I don’t know how many times I have been to these places in Pengcheng.

Therefore, they are naturally more familiar with Pengcheng.

At this moment, the two brothers felt extremely complicated as they once again stepped into this city that was both familiar and somewhat strange.

Luohu, Futian and even Shekou, investigating all the way west.

The current population of Pengcheng is still too small, and the entire city has only a few hundred thousand people. However, Lin Haoran knows that it will accommodate more than 10 million people in the future!
The reception manager took them to inspect the industrial parks under construction, such as Shahe Industrial Zone and Shekou Industrial Zone. Local leaders also accompanied them in person and kept talking about preferential policies, hoping to attract Lin Haoran and others to invest here.

"I want to buy this place and build a large industrial zone!" Lin Haoran looked at the land waiting to be developed, pointed to a piece of land next to the Shekou Industrial Park, and said to his leader with a smile.

When the other party heard this, he was extremely surprised. He knew Lin Haoran's information. Although Lin Haoran was too young, he was the boss of several large companies and was well-known in the Hong Kong business community.

If he is willing to invest here, it will definitely be good news for Pengcheng.

The reason we invited him here is to get him to invest!
Last year, Pengcheng’s gross regional product, or what we often call GDP, was less than 200 million yuan!
The market value of any company under Lin Haoran is higher than the annual GDP of Pengcheng!
"Mr. Lin, we in Pengcheng welcome your investment at any time, and we will provide the greatest preferential treatment for your investment. You can choose the location of the land!" the leader said readily.

At this moment, Pengcheng is still in the early stages of development, and the work of attracting investment is still progressing step by step. Therefore, everything here is like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for people with lofty ideals to come and draw the blueprint. There is unlimited development potential everywhere.

"Nephew Lin, your business actually involves manufacturing?" Guo Henian asked curiously.

Not many people in Hong Kong know that Lin Haoran is the boss of Aigo Company. Lin Haoran has always been very low-key about this matter, so it is understandable that Guo Henian does not know about it.

"Uncle Guo, actually, two years ago, my friends and I founded a large fan factory. Our annual output value has now reached hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars." Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

For these business tycoons, manufacturing is often not their first choice. They prefer industries that can make quick profits, such as trade, real estate, and finance.

Like Li Jiacheng, he also started out in the manufacturing industry, running a plastic factory.

But when he discovered that the real estate industry had greater potential, he gradually handed over the business of the rubber factory to his sister and devoted himself to the real estate industry.

Therefore, when facing Guo Henian's questions, there was no need for Lin Haoran to deliberately conceal his manufacturing background.

In fact, by the fall of this year, Lin Haoran had already planned to take Aigo public after discussing with Liu Luanxiong.

Once the listing is successful, he will directly cash out a considerable amount of money.

Although he does not plan to continue to work in the fan industry, he will not give up the manufacturing industry easily.

In his opinion, although the manufacturing industry has a relatively low profit margin, it can create a large number of jobs and has an indispensable contribution to society.

If he can provide more jobs for people through manufacturing, his social status and influence in the mainland will undoubtedly be significantly enhanced.

"Annual output value of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars?" Upon hearing this number, not only Guo Henian, but also Bao Yugang next to him showed a look of surprise.

The person in charge of Pengcheng's eyes lit up, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Today, Shenzhen is in a critical period of reconstruction. What it needs most is not high-end industries such as finance, real estate or high-tech, but the most basic manufacturing industry!

Manufacturing can not only drive the development of the entire industrial chain, but more importantly, it can create a large number of employment opportunities for society. When people have stable jobs, their income will increase, which will in turn promote the economic development of the entire society.

It can be said that manufacturing is the cornerstone of Pengcheng's current development. Only by laying a solid foundation can we provide strong support for the development of high-end industries in the future.

At night, Lin Haoran and others stayed in the most luxurious guesthouse in Pengcheng.

In fact, to call it luxurious is no different from a very ordinary hotel in Hong Kong.

Tomorrow at noon, they will set off for Guangzhou to inspect and negotiate in the provincial capital.

Just as Lin Haoran was getting ready to go to bed, there was a knock on the door, followed by Bao Yugang's voice: "Haoran, are you still awake?"

It was just past nine o'clock in the evening, and Lin Haoran naturally had not yet gone to bed, so he went to open the door for Bao Yugang.

"Uncle Bao, is there anything wrong?" Lin Haoran asked curiously.

"Haoran, let's go inside and talk." Bao Yugang said mysteriously.

Lin Haoran nodded, let Bao Yugang into the house, and pulled over a chair for him to sit down.

"Haoran, I have something to tell you. I forgot to remind you this morning. I haven't found a suitable opportunity since I came here, so I want to talk to you before I go to Yangcheng!" After sitting down, Bao Yugang said solemnly. (End of this chapter)
