Chapter 278 Infrastructure Investment

"Then what are you going to do?" Wu Peng asked.

Xu Zhidao: "As for the more than 100 people in your document, are you really contacting them one by one? By the time you convince them all, the Spring Festival of 1982 is probably coming soon, and we in Changxing will need hundreds or even more in the future. There are thousands of talents in this field, and the most effective way to do this is to cooperate with them.”

Wu Peng asked: "Then go directly to the secretary of Shanghai Film Studio?"

"You are doing well in Shanghai, and you actually know that the secretary is the biggest in a factory." Xu Zhi smiled and objected: "There is no need to waste time negotiating with people in the factory. I am going to go directly to the government people. This Which department is under the control of the film studio?”

Wu Peng replied: "Shanghai Cultural Bureau, do you plan to go directly to their director?"

"Yes, it will be much easier if we negotiate with the government!" Xu Zhi said with a shrug.

"Okay, you are awesome!" Wu Peng gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Xu Zhi added: "I will leave Shanghai in a few days. Do you want to go back to Xiangjiang with me, or continue to stay in Shanghai?"

"Of course we will go back to Xiangjiang!" Wu Peng said directly without thinking.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I thought you fell in love with Shang Hu!"

"I like it." Wu Peng said with some reluctance: "But I'm afraid that if I stay here any longer, my life will be almost gone."

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhi was a little confused.

Wu Peng asked: "Azhi, you have been living in Shanghai during this period, haven't you noticed the air quality every morning?"

"It's very bad." Xu Zhi frowned and said, "I actually know a little bit about the pollution in Shanghai, but I didn't expect it to be so serious!"

Speaking of the smog in later generations, many people will miss the environment of the mainland in the 1980s, with its beautiful mountains and clear waters and fresh air. This sentence is basically good in the mainland, including the capital, but it is not suitable for the Shanghai stock market.

As early as the Republic of China, Shanghai was the core of mainland industry. At its peak, Shanghai's GDP accounted for 40% of the country's GDP, which also made Shanghai the largest city in Asia at the time, surpassing Tokyo.

But just like London, which was known as the Fog City in the 19th century, development means pollution. Since the Republic of China, Shanghai has been the most polluted city in the country.

Although many companies moved westward due to the war, the core problem has still not been solved. Even now in the 1980s, decades of industrial pollution have begun to bite back on the city.

Industry is booming, pollution is rising, rivers are black, and people are suffering!

This sentence actually refers to the mother river of Shanghai City - Suzhou River!

As early as 1978, serious abnormalities occurred in the local ducks. Later, the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau discovered that the cadmium in the river exceeded the legal limit by 327 times. If the heavy metal cadmium is excessively absorbed, it will cause "Itai-Itai disease". This disease has once Raging in Kamtsugawa County, Japan.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and a tragedy was avoided in time. However, this pollution was actually just a microcosm of the negative effects of Shanghai's industrial development at that time.

In the 1980s, environmental problems in Shanghai had reached the point where they could no longer be tolerated. The entire 53-kilometer section of the Suzhou River that passed through Shanghai was smelly, and even cats were unwilling to eat the fish in the river.

Even the Huangpu River, the water source of Shanghai, is polluted, and half of the year is covered with sewage. People from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan who come to Shanghai now bring their own drinking water.

But these are not problems. Pollution control will be enough, but the biggest problem is finance. Now the national economy is in the recovery period. Shanghai has no money, the central government has no money, and the Baosteel project is a huge gold-eating beast.

In this era, Shanghai has at least ten firsts in the economy, such as: industrial output value accounts for one-eighth of the country; exports of industrial products account for one-quarter of the country; fiscal revenue accounts for one-sixth of the country; per capita GDP , unit energy, etc.

But the biggest problem is that the fiscal revenue and foreign exchange earnings of the Shanghai Stock Exchange are basically handed over to the central government. It can be said that the Shanghai Stock Exchange is the magic needle for the stability of the national economy.

Before the tax reform in 1994, the tax payments submitted by various provinces to the central government were different from those in later generations, which also led to difficulties in tax collection by the central government. Only the Shanghai Municipal Government took the initiative to submit taxes, and the proportion paid was extremely high.

Therefore, it is said that Shanghai Municipality is the biological son of the central government. Many projects such as Baosteel and SAIC Volkswagen have settled in Shanghai. This is actually the reason!

You will be rewarded if you give.

Wu Peng continued: "You have only been here for a few days, and you have stayed in a prosperous place. I really don't know the real situation in Shanghai. Outside of Puxi, people are making briquettes on the streets every morning. There are everywhere There was smoke, and toilets and other things were being washed by the river.

In fact, this is not a problem. The key is that there are too many people and the river is smelly, not to mention the industrial pollution. Thousands of companies along the Suzhou River directly discharge sewage, and the river has all kinds of colors.

You said that the water I drink can be imported from Xiangjiang, but I can’t use imported water for bathing! And sometimes the air quality is really not that bad. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll get cancer. "

"Okay, I understand, then you can go back with me." Xu Zhi thought for a while and asked: "In addition to looking for comic talents, have you gained anything in other aspects? What projects do you think are worth going to Shanghai?" Our company invests?”

For Wu Peng to come to Shanghai, in addition to looking for comics talents, another purpose is to find out the current economic situation of Shanghai and which areas are worth investing in. At the same time, he must also consider the current legal restrictions.

Wu Peng said with a smile: "At present, the core area of ​​Shanghai's economy is Nanjing East Road. There are huge crowds of people there on weekends, especially the First Department Store. I heard that there are 200,000 people entering and exiting every Sunday. It is said that last year's business volume At current exchange rates, the amount would be as high as $140 million."

"140 million U.S. dollars?" Xu Zhi couldn't believe it. Although the annual turnover of Watsons under Hutchison Whampoa in Xiangjiang exceeded this amount, it was the sum of hundreds of stores.

"Yes, that's right." Wu Peng smiled and said: "The crowd is even more exaggerated than the subway in Xiangjiang. If you want to invest in the mainland, this is a good choice. However, the laws in the mainland only allow joint ventures. If you want to buy it, you can't buy it." possible."

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "A joint venture is unlikely. This is a golden land in Shanghai. There are no big benefits. The government will not transfer it."

"That's true." Wu Peng continued: "During this period, I stayed in Shanghai, relying on Midea's tiger skin, and got to know many officials. The biggest problem in Shanghai is that a large amount of finance has been handed over to the central government. , resulting in my inability to develop some livelihood infrastructure projects. I know that your subsidiary Hutchison Whampoa is keen on infrastructure investment, and I know that an infrastructure project can definitely make money."

I have something to do tonight, so I posted Chapter 2 together.
