Chapter 2508

"Brother Jianyi, is there really no industry in Hong Kong?"

"If you are referring to industrial areas like Tian Du and Changjiang, then there is indeed none here. The industry closest to industrial form in Hong Kong is probably the shipyard."

Ha Jianyi paused and then said: "But the shipyards here are all privately owned, and their technology is far inferior to the government-owned shipyards. Most of them can only build old sailing ships with relatively small displacement. Like some large cargo ships that travel long distances.

, local shipyards cannot build them, and shipowners are still more willing to spend money to order them from government-run shipyards.”

Ning Zijing took over and said: "There will be many problems in building industrial facilities in Hong Kong. First, the place itself has no resources to produce. Transporting raw materials from other places for deep processing will incur huge transportation costs. Second, functional positioning

, when the executive committee originally developed this place, there was no plan to deploy industry here. The third is operational efficiency. The initial investment in industry is large, and the cycle of cost recovery is long. No business can achieve quick results, so there will be no private

I am willing to invest and build a factory here.”

After the explanations of the two people, Tao Hongfang, who asked the question, finally understood the root cause of Hong Kong's single industrial structure. However, from another perspective, this current situation can be regarded as adapting to local conditions. It is a decision made by the Executive Committee based on local actual conditions.

Planning. Regardless of whether it is the government or private capital, if we really want to force the development of industry in this place, we may not have good development prospects.

As for private shipyards that can only build small-tonnage civilian ships, there seems to be no need to visit them. They are all the generation who grew up in Sanya. When they were very young, they were led by their fathers to visit the Sanya Shipyard and experience it.

With the most advanced shipbuilding technology of this era, it is naturally difficult to become interested in ordinary private shipyards.

As for places like commercial streets and trading centers, you don’t need to look at them to know that they are not as good as Sanya. You can just take a quick look at them.

However, after staying on the ship for more than three days, it felt good to set foot on land again. Moreover, the food and accommodation conditions on land were obviously much better than those on the ship, so they had to take advantage of this short rest time to relax.

Ning Zijing held the position of "Senior Investment Advisor" in "Qiong Lianfa". This title was illusory and empty. There was no actual work to be done, but he could also mobilize and use Qiong Lianfa's resources when necessary.

For example, when passing through Hong Kong and needing to take a night's rest locally, Ning Zijing used this status to contact Qiong Lianfa's local agency to arrange local transportation, food and accommodation for the group.

Qiong Lianfa can be regarded as the first transnational business organization established by Haihan in this era. It gathered a group of private businessmen and commercial capital with the most financial resources in Fuguang area at that time. After more than 20 years of development, its business scope has expanded

It is present in all walks of life and maintains trade relations with many countries. It is still a comprehensive commercial organization with great influence in the South China Sea region.

Hong Kong, as the main trading port in the Pearl River Estuary area, naturally has branches of Qiong Lianfa. In fact, when Haihan developed Hong Kong, Qiong Lianfa participated in it at the first time and secured excellent business opportunities for itself.

Development conditions. Therefore, to this day, Qiong Lianfa's local operations can be said to be flourishing and very prosperous.

"The restaurant where we are waiting to have dinner, the inn where we are staying tonight, and the carriage we are riding in now are all Qiong Lianfa's industries. It can be said that any profitable industry in the local area will have Qiong Lianfa to a greater or lesser extent.

Participate." Ning Zijing introduced the development status of Qiong Lianfa in Hong Kong to everyone without showing off.

"It seems that Qiong Lianfa has really made a lot of money in Hong Kong!" Bai Letong responded jokingly.

Tao Hongfang also joked: "Then we don't have to pay for tonight's food and accommodation out of our own pockets, right?"

Ning Zijing said indifferently: "With just a dozen of us, how much can we spend for one night's stay? If Qiong Lianfa's local manager knew your identities, I'm afraid they would be eager to keep you here for free.

You can stay here or pay for it!"

The business run by Qiong Lianfa is extremely complex and covers a wide range of areas, so it naturally requires a large number of contacts to maintain all aspects of business relationships. Of course it is not easy to directly invite high-ranking officials to speak for themselves, but if you can invite the family members of these officials

, that can achieve a similar effect.

In fact, Ning Zijing's temporary position in Qiong Lianfa is more or less of this nature. There are people in the court who are easy to do things. If Qiong Lianfa's office in Hong Kong can invite a few princes to take charge here, then

Undoubtedly, many convenient conditions will be obtained. Even if they cannot hire these important people, being able to provide food, accommodation and transportation for them during their transit is a rare opportunity for Qiong Lianfa as an opportunity to make connections.

Although these young people have not traveled far, they have been used to seeing all kinds of people flattering them since they were young. When they heard Ning Zijing's words, they understood the mystery.

However, they would not mind if someone took the initiative to serve them. Moreover, Qiong Lianfa was officially led by Haihan when it was first established. It is considered a commercial organization with a certain official background. Seriously speaking, there is not much need to avoid suspicion. Moreover,

Ning Zijing also said that Qiong Lianfa is involved in all walks of life in Hong Kong, so why should we be careful to avoid them?

Although Ning Zijing did not disclose the identity of the group to the local person in charge, it was obvious that the manager here had found out the information through other channels. When they arrived at the inn where they were staying tonight, they found that Qiong Lianfa’s Hong Kong agency

The person in charge was already waiting with more than 20 people at the inn.

There are only a few high-end courtyards in this inn, and they have all been cleaned up and arranged for their group to stay.

Not only that, the reception banquet has been prepared for them here, and even the cook has been brought here, so they don't have to go to the restaurant to dine.

The local steward was very sensible and did not shamelessly post. He just went into the room to toast a few glasses of wine during the banquet, got to know these young dignitaries, and did not make any requests to them.

I exited knowingly.

"You know the rules very well!" After the steward left, Tao Hongfang couldn't help but praise him.

Ning Zijing saw it through and said disapprovingly: "He is just trying his best to not let us have any faults. Otherwise, if any one of us goes back and says that we are not well served here, then he may be lost."

If you want to make friends with us, this performance alone is far from enough!"

Tao Hongfang said: "You mean, there may be other arrangements?"

Ning Zijing said: "I might arrange for the girl to stay in bed and give some gifts tomorrow morning. Anyway, I will definitely not give up after just one meal. For him, if he can establish a relationship with us by spending such a small amount of money, then that's a big deal.

What a great deal!”
