Vice Mayor He Jinpeng had met Li Ka-shing and felt that Li Ka-shing was a shrewd businessman.
Offering such a low price, they still want to buy that piece of land in Hualong.
They're incredibly stingy.
"I think there's absolutely no point in considering this. Li Ka-shing's land purchase is just for developing a few large-scale housing projects, which will have a limited impact on Shenzhen's economy. On the other hand, Wujiang Group's land purchase is for building a computer manufacturing plant. If we build a computer industrial park around the Wujiang computer manufacturing plant and fully develop the electronics manufacturing industry, making it one of the pillars of Shenzhen's economy, how many jobs could we create, and how much economic benefit could we generate? It's incomparable to just a few housing projects!"
He Jinpeng said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.
Everyone applauded in agreement.
This truly resonated with everyone.
"Mayor He Jinpeng makes a good point. China's rise depends on science and technology, on manufacturing, not on real estate. Look at Wujiang Group's products like PHS phones, game consoles, and VCDs. Once released, they swept the globe and brought tremendous changes to the local areas. Now, if Wujiang Computer settles in Shenzhen, I think it would be worthwhile even if we gave the land to Wujiang Group for free!"
“That’s right. The land in Longhua must be given to Wujiang Group. If Wujiang Computer Factory is located in another city because it didn’t get the land, then Shenzhen will become a laughing stock.”
More than just a laughing stock, Cheung Kong Holdings had no plans to develop the land after acquiring it. They simply wanted to leave it idle for more than ten years, wait for its value to appreciate, and then sell it at a high price.
This will be an indelible stain on the resume of the entire Shenzhen leadership team.
Fortunately, in this life, the Wujiang Group has arrived.
This gave the Shenzhen government a chance to make a new choice.
At this moment, municipal official Gan Xiangming loudly declared, "Since everyone agrees, let's sell that piece of land in Longhua to Wujiang Group! Vice Mayor He Jinpeng, contact Wujiang Group immediately and strive to reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible. No matter how harsh the conditions they propose, we must ensure that Wujiang Computers is established in Shenzhen!!!"
"Yes, Secretary!!!" He Jinpeng nodded emphatically, his expression serious and earnest. This was an opportunity for Shenzhen's economic take-off, and they had to seize it no matter what.
...
At this time, Li Ka-shing had not received any news that Wujiang Group was also competing for the Longhua land. Relying on the preferential policies for Hong Kong businessmen in China, he was full of confidence and fantasized about tricking the government into giving him a piece of land at a low price.
"We should have news coming out in the next day or two."
"China's development is truly remarkable, and the real estate industry is bound to have a bright future. Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa can take advantage of this opportunity to hoard land in the mainland at low prices!"
Li Jiacheng was thinking as he ate breakfast.
With a population of over one billion, China's land value has skyrocketed as the construction of modern metropolises accelerates.
In his previous life, he was like this, hoarding land in mainland China and making a fortune.
Local governments were all deceived. The reason they sold the land to Li Ka-shing at a low price was to get his investment. However, Li Ka-shing hoarded the land, which caused them great distress and seriously affected the local urban planning and economic development.
...
Shenzhen Wujiang Branch.
He Jinpeng met with Qiu Bojun, the head of Wujiang Computer Company.
After some pleasantries...
He Jinpeng cut to the chase, saying, "Our city warmly welcomes Wujiang Group's plan to invest in and build a factory in Longhua District. The land in Longhua covers three million square meters and was originally priced at 500 million RMB, but to show the Shenzhen government's sincerity, it was symbolically sold to Wujiang Group for only 100 million RMB!!!"
After He Jinpeng finished speaking, he kept his eyes on Qiu Bojun's expression.
If the other party is still not satisfied, then you might as well say that the land is provided to Wujiang Group for free.
If Li Ka-shing knew about the Shenzhen government's decision, he would probably cry himself to death in the bathroom.
I offered 200 million RMB, but you refused to sell to me.
Just because Wujiang Group is coming, you're giving it away for free?
How can this be tolerated?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bojun felt that the land price was very cheap.
At this moment, before Qiu Bojun could speak...
He Jinpeng added, "If Wujiang Computer can establish itself in Shenzhen, it can enjoy the 'three reductions and two exemptions' policy, meaning a two-year exemption from corporate income tax and a three-year 50% reduction. At the same time, the Shenzhen government will also provide Wujiang Computer's factory with 'three connections and one leveling'—road access, water supply, electricity, and leveling of the land!!!"
"In addition, our city will make every effort to build supporting industries around the Wujiang Computer factory to facilitate the production and manufacturing of Wujiang Computer!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "I have already felt the sincerity of the Shenzhen government. Mayor He, please rest assured that Wujiang Computer can be located in Shenzhen."
"Ah, this is wonderful!" He Jinpeng exclaimed excitedly.
Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "Mayor He, we can sign the contract today. After signing, we plan to start construction as soon as possible. The sooner the factory is built, the sooner we can launch our products!"
“No problem, I couldn’t be happier!” He Jinpeng smiled contentedly.
"By the way, Mr. Qiu, what's the difference between the computers developed by Wujiang Group and domestic computer brands?" He Jinpeng asked curiously.
Qiu Bojun thought for a moment and replied, "Domestic computer brands are all assembled machines with little technical content. They just buy various electronic components and assemble them into a computer, and the operating system is a pirated version of Windows. But our Wujiang's self-developed computers are completely different."
