"It's okay to invest in vocational technical secondary schools!" Salina looked at Lei Weidong and saw his slight nod, so she said, "However, the teaching staff of technical secondary schools are too weak, and this aspect needs to be strengthened.

Director Qin, it’s not that I look down on vocational technical secondary schools, but the country is really lacking in this aspect, and the talents cultivated are far from the actual needs, and they must be improved.

In addition, short-term junior high school education must be provided. Girls who are 12 or 13 years old or who only have a primary school diploma will definitely not be able to keep up if they take technical secondary school courses."

"Mr. Sha is right, there are indeed big problems in teaching in domestic technical secondary schools." Director Qin nodded, admitting that Salina said a lot.

"We will make corresponding improvements, but junior high school education is easy to handle. It is enough to set up a one-year literacy course in the school, and the classrooms are also easy to handle. The technical secondary school is located in the suburbs, surrounded by large wastelands, and can be expanded.

It’s just that the teaching staff is a bit troublesome. We will try our best to find ways to allocate them from other schools, but if there is really a shortage, we will need Mr. Lei and Mr. Sha to find a way to cooperate."

"As long as Director Qin agrees, we can find ways to recruit teachers directly from major universities and society.

Even if there is a shortage in the country, they can be hired from abroad. However, the establishment is a bit troublesome, and those employees of our group who are really unavailable will take classes as substitute teachers, and their wages will be settled by our group." Lei Weidong suddenly took over the topic.

"With what you said, Mr. Lei, the vocational secondary school will definitely get better and better." Lei Weidong's words made Director Qin very happy.

These days, missile manufacturers are not as good as tea egg sellers. Teachers, even university teachers, are extremely poor. Even professors only earn a few hundred dollars a month.

As for using acupuncture points to shoot commercials, that's a matter for the entertainment industry.

In the cultural circle, especially teachers, there is really no extra money to make, not even make-up lessons. These days, make-up lessons cannot be said to be non-existent, they are extremely rare.

It’s not that the school doesn’t want to improve teachers’ salaries, it just doesn’t have the money, and the policies are there.

In contrast, if Lei Weidong is willing to take over, with the high wages in Xiangjiang, he will definitely be able to recruit a large number of talented people, greatly increasing the teaching staff of technical secondary schools, even comparable to some key universities.

At that time, both the SAR and Director Qin had dignity on their faces.

After solving the school problem, everyone toasted to celebrate, and then started talking about new projects.

"The instant noodles produced by the instant noodle factory have been launched in Xiangjiang, and the market response has been good. However, the product is too single, and production needs to be expanded. In addition to instant noodles, ham sausages, biscuits and other products, all these products must be launched, turning the instant noodle factory into a catering group.

You are responsible for Caini, so keep an eye on her and this."

Salena took out a bottle of Very Coke from her bag, handed it to Yang Caini, and said, "Mr. Lei took a fancy to this drink. He sent someone to contact the manufacturer in the mountain city, bought the formula, and made it.

, you are the general manager of the food group.

"Understood, Sister Salena, I will do my best."

After taking the very Coke, Yang Caini knew that Brother Dong came to take a fancy to it. He bought a large amount and took it back to Xiangjiang to test the water. Now it seems that the test was successful and there is investment potential.

What's more important is that Salina said that she would be the general manager of the food group, which is much more important than her current position.

Now my so-called high position and power are all for Brother Dong's sake. Otherwise, who would care about an assistant to the chairman? His status is much worse than that of the general manager.

"Director Qin, Director Li, I am coming here this time. My main task is to make Oriental Group's supermarkets, shopping malls and cinemas flourish in the mainland.

Things produced in factories must be sold. Compared with the markets in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, the huge mainland market is the most important. We must pay attention to both. When exploring overseas markets, we must also lay a solid foundation for the mainland market."

The main event is here!

Director Qin, Director Li and the leaders present all looked at each other.

This is a new project. If it can be implemented, the political achievements will be resounding.

Although the investment in a single shopping mall or supermarket is not very large, 10 million is the highest, but if you have to invest several in every prefecture-level city, the total amount is staggering.

In addition, if shopping malls and supermarkets can become bigger and stronger, the benefits will be huge, and they can even promote the local economy.

"Mr. Lei and Sha are always patriotic overseas Chinese. They return to China to support national construction. We must support it. We can apply to the above for shopping malls and supermarkets. Whether it is a special zone or a flower city, as long as it is in Guangdong Province, there is no problem.

But cinemas can’t do it. Our local area doesn’t have this right and needs approval from the Film Bureau.”

After receiving suggestions from others, Director Li made the final decision to allow Oriental Group to invest in shopping malls and very few projects, but he did not have the final say in theaters because this was the right of the film bureau.

The most they can do is to make connections and ask the film bureau to talk to Lei Weidong."

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Li." Lei Weidong raised his glass and signaled.

"It's not a trouble, it's a thank you. Thank you Mr. Lei for taking care of your hometown." Director Li, Director Qin and others raised their glasses in response.

"In addition to shopping malls and supermarkets, I also have a project that I need to trouble some leaders." Lei Weidong put down his wine glass and said.

"Mr. Lei, please tell me." For Director Qin and others, they are not afraid of Lei Weidong's trouble, but they are afraid of not having a project. If they just leave and go to cities like Magic City, that is the real loss.

"I did some research during this period and found that there is a huge demand in the mainland for TV series, washing machines, refrigerators and other household appliances. To buy them, you need not only money but also tickets. It's hard to get them, so many people buy them smuggled in from outside.

Parallel imports." Lei Weidong laughed.

"We haven't done our job properly at this time, and we will crack down on this area in the future." Director Li and others laughed awkwardly.

"Since the gap is so big, I have some spare money, and I still have connections in Japan and other places, so I thought of introducing two production lines to produce color TVs first, and wait until the employees are skilled.

Just take home appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators.

Finally, from large to small, from complete machines to accessories, we produce TV drama display screens, refrigerator compressors and other accessories.

Investing in home appliances such as color TVs is a good project.

Director Qin made eye contact with his leader, the leader of the special zone, looked at Lei Weidong and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lei, we welcome this project with both hands and feet, but how much are you prepared to invest?"

"The initial investment is fifty million US dollars. If it is not enough, we will continue to invest more. For the land, we need to ask Director Qin to make it bigger. We will save no land for future expansion. As for the money." Lei Weidong looked at Yang Jianhua and said nothing.

"As long as the contract is signed, the money will arrive the next day." Since it is Lei Weidong's money, Yang Jianhua will naturally not keep it, but it will be RMB or US dollars when the time comes.

It depends on the SAR leaders to negotiate with their superiors. This has nothing to do with Lei Weidong or Yang Jianhua.

"Mr. Lei, you are so generous to the Special Administrative Region, but you must not forget our Huacheng. Your ancestral home is in Huacheng, so you must not forget your hometown."

Fifty million US dollars were invested in the special zone at once, and there was no expansion investment from clothing factories and food groups. Director Li was a little anxious.

More than 300 million U.S. dollars seems a lot, and even without Lei Weidong's troubles, if it were slower, the investment would probably be gone after the meal, and those friends from other provinces would probably not be able to drink the soup.

"In Huacheng, I am more interested in real estate, and the same is true here in the Special Economic Zone." Lei Weidong waved his hand, indicating that Director Li did not have to worry, and continued:

"I have been to the mainland twice and found a serious problem."

"If there is any problem, tell me, Mr. Lei, and we will improve it," Director Li said.

"It's just not convenient to live here." Lei Weidong said straight to the point, "It doesn't matter if you come here once or twice. You can stay in a hotel, but it's not good if you want to settle here for a long time. Just like Caini and Ahong, they are very uncomfortable now.

convenient.

They must have a place to live, especially the technical staff. It was okay when they first came here. It would be a bit harder to live in the dormitory in the factory, but it will definitely not work after a long time. They need to start a family and raise a family."

"What Mr. Lei means is that we need a house." Director Li asked a little embarrassed.

"We don't need to be given a house, just land. We can build it ourselves." Lei Weidong waved his hand and said, "The dormitory is built in the factory area, and it is definitely not suitable for living in a community.

In addition, shopping malls and supermarkets belong to commercial areas, and they need a certain degree of popularity to develop. I thought, since a shopping mall is going to be built, why not build the supermarket together with the surrounding residential areas.

Part of it will be used to improve the accommodation of the company’s technical staff and senior executives, and the other part can be put on the market to relieve citizens’ housing pressure.”

"It's a good idea, but Mr. Lei is so optimistic about real estate?" asked Director Qin's leader, the top leader of the special zone.

"Since the reform and opening up, life in the mainland has been getting better and better. The first thing to solve is clothing, food, and food. After these two aspects are solved, the problem of housing must be solved.

It can be said that the real estate boom is certain, and it is also the law of society. Today’s Xiangjiang is the future of the mainland. I firmly believe this.”

"Thank you, Mr. Lei, for trusting us." In the eyes of many people, including leading cadres, Xiangjiang is developed and prosperous, while the mainland is backward and poor. Lei Weidong actually said that today's Xiangjiang is the future of the mainland.

This means that Lei Weidong has confidence in the development of the mainland and will firmly stand on the side of the mainland.

We must not treat such friends badly.

As for Lei Weidong engaging in real estate, there is no problem in law or policy, because when Taizong gave a speech a few years ago, he said that the real estate reform plan for the next thirty years would allow the construction, leasing and sale of private houses.

.

It's just that everyone has no confidence in the mainland, and you can't say that you have no confidence, because with the development of the mainland's economy, anyone who is involved in real estate knows that the mainland's real estate will definitely take off.

But this time may be a bit long, and it will take several years or even more than ten or twenty years before it can be realized, because the first thing the mainland must solve is food and clothing, and only after these two things are solved can we consider housing.

In real time and space, the rise of mainland real estate was after the Southern Tour. Real estate developers represented by Li Chaoren entered the capital, Hainan and other places with huge funds.

The Oriental Plaza, which invested US$2 billion, covers an area of ​​100,000 square meters, and has a total construction area of ​​800,000 square meters, was invested and constructed at this time.

However, the Hai/Nan real estate crash poured cold water on real estate, and countless people lost all their wealth due to real estate speculation.

Subsequently, real estate rose and fell. It was not until 2000 that a miracle of only rising but not falling occurred for twenty years.

It can be said that in the 1980s in the Mainland, real estate was not a good investment project. Those who had money to invest in Hong Kong, Beautiful Country, and Japan could earn more than those in the Mainland.

It's just that Lei Weidong doesn't have so many projects in his hands. Instead of letting the money grow moldy, it is better to invest it in real estate. Founder's room will continue to rise, and it will be deposited in the bank to earn interest.

"Where is Mr. Lei planning to invest?" Director Li asked.

"If it's a special zone, it will definitely be between the factory and the city, so that it's convenient for everyone to go to work or go shopping in the city. If it's a flower city, forget about the old city. There are so many things that need to be demolished that can easily cause trouble.

I chose Tianhe District. Although it is a suburb, it is adjacent to the old city and has great development potential.

Now there are only a few prosperous streets in Tianhe District, and most of them are farmland and countryside, so there is no trouble of demolition. Although everything is starting from scratch, it is easy to do the best."

"Mr. Lei, you have really good vision. Although Tianhe District is a suburb, it will be our key support target in the future. Investing in real estate in Tianhe District is a profitable business."

As he spoke, Director Li felt a little embarrassed. It was really that the Tianhe District at this time was too strong and there were too many wastelands.

Not to mention that people in the city, that is, the old city, do not live as they did in the past. Even the rural areas look down on Tianhe District. Although the cost of Lei Weidong's investment in Tianhe District is not high, he must be prepared for a long time, which may take longer than the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War.

"I don't know, Mr. Lei, how much are you prepared to invest?" After introducing the benefits and policy support of Tianhe District, Director Li finally asked.

"Chief Yang, how much money do I have on my account?" Lei Weidong asked.

"Mr. Lei, you have a total of 386 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange in your account, excluding the 50 million investment in TV factories, schools, clothing factories, shopping malls, supermarkets, etc.

The funds you can mobilize now are more than 200 million US dollars."

"More than 200 million U.S. dollars. It's not a lot of money, but the initial investment is definitely enough. Director Li, Director Qin, I plan to invest all of the more than 200 million U.S. dollars in real estate."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Lei Weidong was so generous. The huge sum of US$386 million was settled directly at the dinner table without any haggling or on-site inspection. Maybe this is the real way to be rich.

people.

When talking about business, I always do it as I want without delay at all. It would be great if there were more investors like this in the future.

Everyone chatted for a while, and after seeing that it was a bit late, they dispersed. Yang Jianhua and Director Qin sent Lei Weidong, Salina and others back to the hotel to rest, while the others returned to the office overnight to convene a meeting with their subordinates.
Chapter completed!
