"I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future ~"
Gu Mingxuan had considered it carefully. Heavy factories would definitely pollute the environment and water resources. This was unavoidable.
Even if it was built in the suburbs, it might be criticized in the future. Jealous people might even incite the public to attack heavy factories, such as environmental protection parades to put pressure on the government.
Therefore, he wanted to get the approval of the Hong Kong government in advance. If there were any problems, the Hong Kong government would also be responsible. At the very least, they would not simply target him.
Shen Bi naturally knew what Gu Mingxuan was worried about. After all, this kind of industry that affected the people's livelihood could be wiped out by the government if they were not careful. When that happened, they would really lose everything.
Shen Bi pondered for a while and asked,""Gu, where did you originally plan to build the factory?”
"This is the Quanwan District! I've asked someone to investigate it carefully these weeks. One third of the medium-sized and small-sized factories in Xiangjiang City are built here. Additionally, as it's a coastal zone, it's very convenient for transportation of heavy machinery, foreign communication and trade!”
Most importantly, the district councilor had personally told Gu Mingxuan at the dinner table that there would be no livelihood development plans for the next ten years. This was what Gu Mingxuan valued most. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he was asked to move the factory.
"Gu, I suggest that you don't build it in the Quanwan District. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble in less than two years!”
Shen Bi suddenly advised.
“Why？”
Looking at Shen Bi's serious expression, Gu Mingxuan began to suspect that he had been deceived by the district councilman.
"Hehe, Gu, the reason why you chose this place must be because someone told you that this area along the coast will not have any residential projects for a long time, right?”
Shen Bi seemed to have seen through Gu Mingxuan's thoughts.
"That's right. The district councilor here said that there won't be any livelihood development plans for the next ten years!”
Gu Mingxuan nodded. Since Shen Bi had already guessed it, he had nothing to hide.
"He didn't lie to you. There really won't be any large-scale construction here. However, I can tell you that the government has planned to build a new road here to promote business activities here. If you build a heavy factory here, you will definitely be ordered to move!”
Shen Bi revealed a piece of news that shocked Gu Mingxuan.
"Burke, is this news true?”
Gu Mingxuan asked seriously.
"This news was told to me by my friend at the head office of the Hong Kong Bank. He has a very good relationship with the Hong Kong government. Also, do you know what the goal of the Hong Kong Bank's tsuen wan branch is next year? It's to attract foreign businessmen!"
Shen Bi's meaning was very clear. This news had been confirmed by the entire Hui Feng Group. It was 100% true.
"Burke, what do you think about my factory being built in Dapu District?”
Gu Mingxuan pondered for a while. If it was not possible to go to Quanwan, only Dapu would be suitable.
Unexpectedly, this idea was rejected by Shen Bi again." Gu, why do you have to go to the island? In fact, your heavy factory can only be as stable as Mount Tai if it is built in one place!”
"As steady as Mount Tai? On the island?"
"You mean the Islands District?" Gu Mingxuan was enlightened.”
" That's right. Only the islands are the best places for you to build your factory. No one will care where your factory stays for 50 years because it's sparsely populated and inconvenient for transportation. It won't attract other business investors to invest.”
Gu Mingxuan did not consider leaving the island precisely because of the inconvenient transportation.
But now Shen Bi said that the inconvenience of transportation was an advantage of building a factory, and what he said did make some sense.
The only problem was that the place was sparsely populated and underdeveloped. It was not convenient to return to the island. Gu Mingxuan also had to settle the food and accommodation issues for his future employees, which was another huge expense.
And the most important thing was whether others were willing to come to this godforsaken place?
Perhaps only stowaways and the few locals on the island would be willing to work here?
.........
In the following period of time.
Gu Mingxuan first spent six million yuan to buy the school in the tsuen wan district. Then, he got Jiulong Real Estate to buy a piece of land of 2,000 mu, about 1.34 square kilometers, in an uninhabited area on the island. He spent a total of 30 million yuan.
In addition, the construction of the factory, staff accommodation, and canteen was estimated to cost nine million yuan. The construction of the factory road would cost three million yuan, and the basic equipment that Shen Bi was entrusted to purchase would cost another five million yuan.
With that, Gu Mingxuan only had five million left out of his fifty-eight million in development funds. It was just enough to pay the salaries of the school's teachers, the school's renovation costs, and the school's publicity expenses.
...........
In fact, many of Gu Mingxuan's business partners, including Li Wenfeng and Wang Yunxiang, and even his wives, Hu Yanni and Pan Yingzi, did not understand why Gu Mingxuan wanted to develop heavy industries.
Only Shen Bi sensed Gu Mingxuan's ambition.
In Shen Bi's opinion, Gu Mingxuan would not stay in the food and beverage industry forever, and it was only a facade for him to enter the service industry. Gu Mingxuan had all the industries in Xiangjiang in mind!
That's right. The reason Gu Mingxuan placed so much importance on heavy industry was because the heavy industry project was the key to his entire industrial chain!
Gu Mingxuan had to build a solid foundation in heavy industry from the retail industry to the service industry to the manufacturing industry. Only then could he form a complete and unbreakable industrial chain.
Now that everything was ready, Gu Mingxuan waited for the teachers to arrive while waiting for the factory to be completed.
