Chapter 79 Section 79 Development abroad

During his stay in Hong Kong, Lai Changxing participated in the activities organized by the Hong Kong Jinjiang Association, which opened his eyes and deeply stimulated him.They are born from the same root, so far apart.They are all Hong Kong businessmen, wearing suits and leather shoes, speaking authentic Cantonese, full of style.And him?But he is a mainland boy. Although he is not too cash-strapped, he is at best a peasant entrepreneur.Besides, the Communist Party is expanding reform and opening up, and preferential policies related to attracting investment are frequently introduced.If you can wear the laurels of a "Hong Kong businessman", not to mention that your value will increase immediately. With this status as a "Hong Kong and Macau compatriot", whether you go back to the mainland to register a company, invest in setting up a factory, or do business with others, you are also superior and harmonious. Much more convenient.

Lai Changxing's rhetoric is that Jinjiang men who don't want to be bosses and make a lot of money are not good men.No, Jinjiang people have a strong sense of doing business and making money. The Hokkien song that Jinjiang people love to sing is always "Love to fight to win". In this melody called "Song of Hokkien", the theme It's just a word of "fighting". Jinjiang people dare to rush, dare to break through, are not afraid of failure or loss, and the spiritual background of daring to fight and win is vividly vented through this song. A new idea, new plan, and new development strategy were brewing in Lai Changxing's mind.He wants to find a way to go to Hong Kong, obtain Hong Kong identity, and develop overseas.But some things are easier to think about than difficult to operate. The Ministry of Public Security issues very limited quotas for going abroad to settle in various regions every year. Jinjiang is a typical hometown of overseas Chinese, and there are many people who apply to settle in Hong Kong.The crux of the problem is that Lai Changxing simply does not have the conditions to go through the formalities for a one-way trip to Hong Kong.According to the regulations, the application to settle in Hong Kong must be a husband and wife relationship or a father-son or mother-child relationship. Brothers and sisters can only apply for visiting relatives.

How could Lai Changxing let it go, he sharpened his head and looked for connections everywhere, trying to cross the country through other channels, and headed for Hong Kong, which is known as the largest free trade port in Asia. Hard work paid off, and he finally seized the opportunity.Because the powerful person in the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing is Lai Changxing's confidant, through his guidance and help, in February 1991, Lai Changxing moved his household registration from Jinjiang, Fujian to a county in Shaanxi.Compared with open coastal cities, a certain county in Shaanxi, as an inland area, is relatively closed, with only a handful of ties to foreign countries, and the quota for going abroad is endless.Lai Changxing chose to apply for exit from there. He took a side route and a shortcut. In addition, he was "supervised" by an authoritative person and sprinkled some money to "lubricate".

Two months later, in April 1991, Lai Changxing moved from a county in Shaanxi to Hong Kong to settle down.Lai Changxing jumped over in one step and became an authentic Hong Kong citizen in an instant. Of course, Lai Changxing will not only be satisfied with this.What's more, with the continuous expansion and opening up of the mainland, there are many opportunities for development. How could he, who is familiar with business, not be eager to try and achieve a career?At that time, there was a popular jingle in the society: "100,000 yuan is not considered rich, a million yuan is just getting started, a few million yuan is passable, and a household with tens of millions is considered rich." In the middle of the gap, he can't just watch others get ahead of him.He wants to catch up, work hard, make money, and become a "rich man" and "tycoon" as soon as possible.

In June 1991, Lai Changxing and others registered and established a "Hong Kong Meimei Enterprise Co., Ltd." in Hong Kong. It is said that the registered capital is 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Vice President) and Jinjiang Yishi businessman (this person is said to be a returned overseas Chinese. He had a close relationship with Lai when he was in Jinjiang. He came to Hong Kong a few years earlier than Lai. He is called "Shan Ge" and has a mysterious underworld small head). An insider said that Shi was not a shareholder at all, he was hired as the general manager of the company, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.Because Lai Changxing had just arrived and knew nothing about the Hong Kong business community, Shi had to handle many business matters in detail, and Shi had to come forward to settle any accidents.
