Chapter 471
Although I didn't understand what Yang Chen was saying, Secretary Liang probably understood the meaning.
As the top leader of the Special Administrative Region, Secretary Liang is also over fifty years old and has experienced countless storms and waves in his life.
Although he was a little confused, he smelled a smell from it, a smell of green US dollars and big golden bull Hong Kong dollars.
Ever since Donghua Group settled in the special zone, Secretary Liang has really fallen in love with Yang Chen, the owner of Donghua Group.
Seeing Yang Chen's eager look on his face, as long as he's not stupid, he can probably guess.
If Huo Daheng's people in their decades asked him about this, Secretary Liang might not think much about it. After all, as people get older, they pay special attention to their bodies.
He also understood the virtues of the rich men in Xiangjiang. The fresh water resources in Xiangjiang were all supplied by the inland. The rich men like to find some mountain spring water to drink water and make tea.
Many powerful people in the interior also like this and like to find some good water to drink.
However, judging from Yang Chen's performance, it seems that the other party is not simply looking for water. As the leader of the special zone, his task is to engage in economic development. In layman's terms, that is to make people who come to the special zone make money and the government to collect taxes.
The only mission of his position as leader is to lead the special zone to make money, make money, and make more money.
These days, although the country does not lack RMB, it is extremely short of foreign currency.
In the early days of reform and opening up, many machinery and equipment could not be manufactured domestically and had to be purchased from abroad, but those things required money.
To put it simply, you need US dollars.
During the reform and opening up in 1978, the inland foreign exchange reserves were less than 200 million US dollars. In 1981, after three years of reform and opening up, the foreign exchange reserves seemed to be only 2 to 3 billion, which is about the same as Yang Chen's current worth.
These foreign exchanges are basically obtained from the sale of various resources inland, using raw materials such as oil to earn foreign exchange through exports.
A large country with a population of more than one billion has as much foreign exchange reserves as a small businessman. It is not difficult to imagine how intense internal distribution will be.
The typical situation is that there are too many monks and not enough porridge. In many places, you can’t even drink soup, and some even haven’t even seen a U.S. dollar bill.
Therefore, in Secretary Liang's eyes, Yang Chen is a money-delivery boy, a walking money printing machine that specializes in printing Hong Kong dollars and US dollars.
As long as the other party dares to be interested in something, you might be able to get money out of him.
Just now, Yang Chen stared at Secretary Liang and felt uncomfortable, but now he has turned around.
Looking at Secretary Liang's eyes staring at him, Yang Chen didn't know why, but he always felt like a fox met a big bad wolf. If you play with others' IQ, the other party just wants to pounce on you and devour you.
Yang Chen said awkwardly: "Ahem, Secretary Liang, can we stop staring at each other like this?"
Secretary Liang grinned and asked: "Mr. Yang, there is good mountain spring water in Huizhou, which is close to the Special Economic Zone. I just don't know what Mr. Yang wants to use it for?"
Yang Chen: "Unsatisfied with Secretary Liang, I plan to build several mineral water companies in the interior. Nowadays, millions of people in Xiangjiang have fresh water sources provided by the interior.
There is a big market for this mineral water in Xiangjiang, but naturally this mineral water cannot use ordinary water sources, it must be high-quality mountain spring water."
Nowadays, the inland has just reformed and opened up, and the environment in many places is very good and has not been polluted.
Not to mention the famous mountains and rivers, even the water flowing down from any small hill is very sweet.
Among the major mineral water companies of later generations, such as Nongfu Spring, C'estbon, Wahaha, Master Kong, and Uni-President, one or two yuan is considered a conscientious price.
Others are not very well-known, but because the outer shell is well packaged, the water source comes from famous mountains and rivers.
All kinds of high-end and elegant products, they really dare to raise their prices. A bottle of water is more expensive than herbal tea or even milk. There is no one else.
With economic development, the population of inland cities and towns is increasing, and mineral water is basically inseparable from people's daily lives in later generations.
While the environment has not yet been destroyed, we can capture some famous mountains and rivers in advance, and then we can earn money later while casually protecting the environment, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, we still need to wait a few more years in the central and northern regions. Many inland roads have not yet been repaired these days. It is useless even if he climbs the mountain tops now.
Only when the hinterland calls out, "If you want to get rich, build roads first," and with the infrastructure of roads, can you move further towards the central and northern parts.
He can't do anything about the famous mountains and rivers in the central and northern parts of the country now, but the coastal areas can be taken over first. Others will enclose the land, and he will enclose the mountains. The risk to the mineral water company is almost zero.
Yes, here, with the retail terminal giant Carrefour, the risk is really zero.
"Mr. Yang, the water source in Guangdong is the best in Baisui Mountain in Huizhou. Many rich people in Xiangjiang like to find people to get water there.
If you want to build a mineral water company, Mr. Yang, Baisui Mountain is a good place, and it’s also close to the special zone and the transportation is very convenient.”
"Hundred-year-old Mountain?" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Secretary Liang explained: "Yes, because many of the villagers within a few miles are over 100 years old and still energetic, the locals call it Baisui Mountain.
The water those villagers drink every day comes from Baisui Mountain Spring Water, which is even sweet..."
After hearing Secretary Liang's explanation, Yang Chen thought of a well-known mineral water company called 'Jingtian'.
Although "Jingtian" mineral water in later generations is not as sweet as Nongfu Spring, and is famous among Master Kong, it is undoubtedly the most sold and most expensive mineral water.
Mountain spring water, in fact, most of the water quality is no different. What minerals and trace elements are all nonsense.
Mineral water is sold in a package, and the one with better packaging sells more expensively. However, the Jingtian mineral water from Baisui Mountain has become a booming market due to its reputation as a Baisui brand.
"Secretary Liang, are there any other places with abundant water resources in Guangdong? In addition to mineral water, I am also planning to build several herbal tea companies, beverages and the like, all of which require good water sources."
Upon hearing that Yang Chen was planning to build several more companies, Secretary Liang almost stopped smiling and said quickly: "Yes, yes... In addition to Baisui Mountain, there are many places with good water sources in Guangdong. I can start with this."
Say hello to the province... then Mr. Yang can send someone to conduct an on-site inspection to see if it is suitable."
Coastal areas, because they receive more information from the outside, have been actively attracting investment.
As a special zone, Zhenzhen is independent from the outside world and is directly governed by the higher authorities, but in the end it is still part of Guangdong. It is also a task to help the province drive the economy.
Mineral water companies don't need anything except water. There is a shortage of everything in the interior, but there is no shortage of water. To make money by selling water, is there any lower cost than this?
