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

"If you mean industrial zones like Tiandu and Changjiang, then there are none here. The industry closest to an industrial form in Hong Kong is probably a shipyard."

Ha Jianyi paused, and then continued: "But the shipyards here are all private in nature, and their technology is far inferior to the government-run shipyards. Most of them can only build old-style sailboats with relatively small displacement. Like some large cargo ships for long-distance sea transportation , the local shipyards can’t build them, and ship owners are more willing to spend money to order from government-run shipyards.”

Ning Zijing took over the topic and said: "There will be many problems in building industrial facilities in Hong Kong. One is that this place itself has no resources to produce, and raw materials are transported from other places for further processing, which will incur a lot of transportation costs. The second is functional positioning. , when the executive committee developed this place, there was no plan to deploy industries here. The third is operational efficiency. The investment in the industry is large in the early stage, and the cycle of cost recovery is long. Willing to invest and build factories here.”

After their explanations, Tao Hongfang, who raised the question, finally understood the root cause of Hong Kong's single industrial structure.However, from another perspective, this situation can be regarded as adapting to local conditions. It is a plan made by the Executive Committee in combination with local actual conditions.Regardless of whether it is the government or private capital, if they really want to forcibly develop industries in this place, they 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 from the generation that grew up in Sanya. When they were very young, they were led by their parents to visit the Sanya shipyard. Having seen the most advanced shipbuilding technology in this era, it is naturally difficult for them to become interested in ordinary private shipyards.

As for places such as commercial streets and trading centers, you don't need to look at them to know that they are no match for Sanya in any case, so just take a look at them.

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

Ning Zijing held the position of "Senior Investment Consultant" in "Qiong Lianfa". This title is fictitious, and there is no actual work to be done, but he can also mobilize and use Qionglianfa's resources when necessary .For example, when passing through Hong Kong, Ning Zijing used this identity to contact Qiong Lianfa's local organization to arrange transportation, board and lodging in the local area.

Qiong Lianfa can be regarded as the first multinational business organization established by Haihan in this era. It concentrated a group of private businessmen and commercial capital with the most financial resources in the Fuguang area at that time. After more than 20 years of development, its business scope has spread across all industries. It maintains trade relations with many countries and is still a comprehensive business organization with great influence in the South China Sea.

Hong Kong, as the main trading port in the Pearl River Estuary region, naturally cannot do without the branches of Qiong Lianfa.In fact, when Haihan developed Hong Kong, Qiong Lianfa participated in it immediately and won excellent development conditions for itself.So today, Qiong Lianfa's local operations can be described as flourishing and prosperous.

"The restaurant where we are going to eat, the inn where we are staying tonight, and the carriage we are riding in are all owned by Qiong Lianfa. It can be said that any local profitable industry will more or less have Qiong Lianfa. Participate." Ning Zijing ostentatiously introduced the development status of Qiong Lianfa in Hong Kong.

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

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

Ning Zijing said disapprovingly, "Just a dozen or so of us, how much can we spend for one night? If Qiong Lianfa's local manager knows your identities, I'm afraid he would like to keep you here for free. Hold on, it’s okay to post upside down!”

Qiong Lianfa's business is extremely diverse and involves a wide range of fields. Naturally, a large number of contacts are needed to maintain all aspects of business relationships.It is of course not easy to directly invite high-ranking officials to speak out, but if the family members of these officials can be invited, a similar effect can be achieved.

As a matter of fact, Ning Zijing's temporary post in Qionglian more or less has such a nature.There are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things. If Qiong Lianfa's office in Hong Kong can invite a few princes to sit here, it will undoubtedly win a lot of convenience.Even if these important people can't be invited, it is also a rare opportunity for Qiong Lianfa to be able to afford board, lodging and transportation when they are in transit, as an opportunity to make relationships.

Although these young people hadn't traveled much, they were used to being flattered and flattered by people of all kinds since they were young. When they heard Ning Zijing's words, they understood the mystery.

However, they wouldn't mind if someone took the initiative to post it to serve them. What's more, Qiong Lianfa was led by Haihan officials at the beginning of its establishment.And Ning Zijing also said that all walks of life in Hong Kong have Qiong Lianfa's participation, so they must be careful to avoid it.

Although Ning Zijing did not disclose the identities of the group to the local person in charge, it is clear that the stewards here have already inquired about the news through other channels. When they arrived at the inn where they were going to stay tonight, they discovered The person in charge has already brought more than 20 people up and down the inn to wait.

And this inn only has a few sets of high-level courtyards, all of which have been cleaned up and arranged for them to stay.

Not only that, a welcome banquet has been prepared for them here, and even the cook has moved here, so there is no need to move to the restaurant for dinner.

The local stewards are also very sensible, and they didn't have the cheek to push it up. They just went into the room to toast a few glasses of wine during the banquet, got to know these young dignitaries, and didn't make any demands on them, so they were very happy. Quit with interest.

"You really know the rules!" After the steward withdrew, Tao Hongfang couldn't help but praise him aloud.

Ning Zijing saw it clearly, and said disapprovingly, "He just tried his best and didn't let us find any faults. Otherwise, if any of us go back and say that we haven't been taken care of here, then he might be thrown away." If you want to make friends with us, this performance alone is far from enough!"

Tao Hongfang said: "What do you mean, there may be other arrangements?"

Ning Zijing said: "Maybe he will arrange for a girl to attend the bed, and give some gifts tomorrow morning. In short, he will definitely not give up after entertaining a meal. For him, if he can get in touch with us by spending such a small amount of money, that's a big deal." It's a great deal!"
