Chapter 243 Harsh Conditions
There were many people resting and sitting on the campus. When Jing Jian arrived, although Jaton had arrived, the cafe was already full, so he could only buy two cups of coffee and looked for an empty bench on the campus.
"Boss, the first phase of cooperation proposed by Hujiang City mainly includes the following three aspects: the first is the reconstruction and expansion of several foreign transport terminals in Hujiang Port, the new construction of Pudong Terminal, and the new construction terminal on Chongming Island. In addition, it also includes some attached roads, buildings and equipment. The estimated total construction time is five to eight years, and the total construction cost of the project is US$680 million. Hujiang City hopes that can provide foreign exchange loans in the form of preferential loans?"
"It is not feasible to answer them clearly." When Jing Jian heard this, he knew that this was the opening of the Lion in Hujiang. Maybe they already knew their identity and began to test the bottom line. However, this often occurs in negotiations. If you find your weaknesses, why can't you press on it? Maybe you can take advantage of it?
"How should I reply?" Jaton continued.
"Written letter, it's directly." Jing Jian did not hesitate at all. "Infrastructure construction should be solved by Hujiang Market itself. If they need financing, they can find preferential assistance or loans guaranteed by foreign governments, which is beyond our businessmen's ability. Although our principle is to benefit Hujiang Market, it is also very important for Water Well Company as a profitable enterprise to ensure the profit of its own company. You can highlight this in the written letter. Of course, if Hujiang Market is willing to open up policies and build a joint venture for operating terminals, it will become another thing, and we can also negotiate."
"I understand, I promise to reply as you want." Jaton nodded and agreed.
Jing Jian thought about it and felt that he still needed to remind him again: "Jerton, the Golden Island Plan is indeed very important, but some important bottom lines must be clear at the beginning of the negotiation. You can go to Hujiang again, and it is best to submit a memorandum. We are an enterprise-local investment behavior, not aid and poverty alleviation, nor a donation. Of course, we will also be clear about the donations that should be, but will not be confused with investment. We have no intention of the construction of Hujiang, and even the dominance of Chongming Island development will never interfere with the power of Hujiang's administrative management. But on the other hand, we will never do anything that exceeds the functions of our enterprise. In a word, do our own thing well and never go beyond the line! Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Jerton, I would like to remind you personally. Don't be anxious to achieve success. At the beginning, clarify each other's principles and positions, and even learn to say 'no'. This is good for the close cooperation between the two parties in the future. Even if Golden Island fails because of this, it's nothing. You can tell Hujiang clearly that we can change local investments and we have money!"
"I know, boss."
"What else is there?"
"Hujiang City hopes that the industrial development zone can not be placed on Chongming Island? Or divided into several parts, the comprehensive external ones can be placed on Chongming Island, and that is, both internal and external ones, it is best to be placed on Hujiang. Pudong is good. There are many suburbs in Hujiang, and they can coordinate wherever they want. Because the bridges and tunnels on Hujiang Huangpu River have not been fully built, and there are still quite a lot of old urban areas to renovate, so the pressure on infrastructure construction is very high."
Jing Jian nodded: "This is completely debatable. Our positioning of Chongming Island Development Zone is to facilitate water transportation, high value-added, high investment industrial clusters, as well as high-tech and entertainment industries. We will invest or jointly invest in part, and we will also introduce some foreign-invested enterprises, but undertake most of the investment promotion work? This should not be our job, but Hujiang Market. Or the same thing, do our own thing."
"Yes, boss." Jaton continued to report the last point, "About Chongming Island, Hujiang Market has initially approved that, 5 kilometers away from Nanmen Port, first cooperate to build a 22.6 square kilometers external industrial zone, of which about 5 square kilometers will be planned as a living and entertainment zone. Hujiang Market has expressed its apology. The Chinese government still has concerns about the development zone and can only gradually develop it. In addition to approving the construction of a hotel in the living and entertainment zone, it also promised to give us the water well company at the market price, a location for the construction of a high-end business building on Jingdong Road, Bing. In addition, we also hope that we will participate in the renovation of an old city plot. In addition, Hujiang Market also hopes that the shipping company can register a company in Hong Kong in the form of a joint venture?"
This section has a lot of information, and finally some real information. Jing Jian first agreed: "The industrial area is basically OK. You can go and fight for the two affiliated islands on Chongming Island."
Originally, Jing Jian would never think that if he had to fool himself, would the butterfly wings dance? Can Chongming Island be on par with the famous Nanwan? Are they both become national economic development zones? Obviously, that is a myth. Therefore, Jing Jian is already very satisfied with the establishment of an industrial zone. Of course, the two small islands attached now seem to be of little value, but as long as Chongming Island develops, tunnels and bridges will be opened sooner or later. As the two islands that must be passed along the way, the potential value is quite great.
Jing Jian then instructed: "There is no problem with hotels and business buildings, so we will negotiate according to the policy of Hujiang City. The renovation of the old city needs to be discussed in detail. We pay 5 million US dollars to exchange for some stores, preferably an independent shopping mall. Or we can provide a loan of no more than US$2 million, 10% for two years, so that Hujiang City can choose on its own. We do not dominate the renovation of the old city."
According to the policy of this period, if foreign capital invests in hotels or commercial buildings, it will obtain 50 years of land use rights. Once 50 years arrive, it will... ahem, all of them will be nationalized. This condition is quite harsh, so those who have no confidence in China's development speed will never risk such investment. Of course, Hujiang Market is still very sincere, at least it has taken out a golden plot of Jingdong Road. Jing Jian must accept this with a smile, after all, he is quite clear about China's future.
As for the renovation of old urban areas? China's real estate market is now a pit. Especially for the renovation of old urban areas, the contradictions can make all the river dragons die. But in just a few years, it will become a gold industry. However, there are too many involvement in real estate, and minefields are everywhere. Jing Jian is not interested in causing such trouble. It is better to simply do it, either invest in a shop or take out a direct commercial loan.
Jing Jian was a little interested in the final investment and promotion model, but he was still unwilling to take the lead: "It's okay to establish a shipping company in Hong Kong, and it's okay to join the shares. We are not responsible for business management. For specific issues, Jaton, you can talk about it."
