Sheng Xiping listened to Chen Ruiqing's opinion that the timber processing plant should be a wholly Hong Kong-owned enterprise, without joint ventures with local businesses.
Sheng Xiping purchased land from the local government to build a factory and recruited local workers. In terms of taxes, the county provided him with a tax reduction and exemption policy for three to five years.
Northeast China is not a coastal open city, so Hong Kong investment here is unprecedented, with no precedent to follow.
The county government couldn't make a decision directly, so they held a meeting to discuss it.
At the meeting, the county leaders expressed their opinions. Some said it was feasible, while others said it did not conform to policy and was prone to problems. They suggested that a joint venture, led by the local government, would be the best option.
In the end, it was Guan Enxue who made the final decision to proceed according to the conditions proposed by Sheng Xiping.
Regardless of whether it's Hong Kong capital or any other kind of capital, the money still needs to be invested. Once the factory is built, local workers will also need to be recruited. That's all.
As for tax incentives, timber processing plants will be focusing on exports in the future.
Earning foreign exchange through exports is a big deal. Many places would rather give subsidies to exchange for foreign currency. They only reduce or exempt taxes, which is not a big deal. That's fine.
With that, the general direction of investing in and building the factory was set, and the next step was to deal with some specific details.
Sheng Xiping asked the company's professionals to stay and discuss the details, while he returned to the forest farm to discuss the wedding arrangements for his two younger brothers with his parents.
Sheng Xiping spent some time persuading his parents, and they finally agreed to hold the wedding in Songjianghe.
There's just one problem: the wedding is being held in Songjianghe, and relatives and friends from the forest farm want to go and have a banquet there, so there's no way to make arrangements.
After thinking it over, Sheng Xiping went to Zheng Xianyong and discussed with him the possibility of the forest farm providing a shuttle bus for the wedding day.
In the morning, we take everyone to a banquet, and then pick them up in the afternoon.
Sheng Liancheng is a veteran of the forest farm and has a long-standing friendship with Zheng Xianyong.
Not to mention, with Zhou Mingyuan's influence at stake, how could Zheng Xianyong refuse? So he agreed.
The wedding banquet is booked, the bride's family's accommodations are arranged, the new house is ready, and the transportation for picking up guests has been arranged. Everything is in place, except for the newlyweds returning to get married.
On June 11th, Sheng Xiping found a car from the Forestry Bureau and went to the forest farm to pick up Sheng Liancheng and his wife, as well as Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi.
Then they also pulled down the wedding supplies that Zhang Shuzhen had prepared for her two sons.
Generally speaking, when a couple gets married, both the bride's and groom's families prepare bedding for the newlyweds.
The Sheng family was impartial, and both sons prepared four beds and four blankets for each of them.
These quilts are all made with Suzhou and Hangzhou silk embroidered covers that Hou Yashuang mailed to them, and filled with the finest cotton.
Zhang Shuzhen invited several people who were blessed with both parents alive and children, and spent several days making it.
With both sons living in other cities, and no furniture or anything provided by the family, Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen always felt uneasy.
So I specially made a pair of boxes with floral and willow-colored fabric for each of my two sons.
Perfect timing! All four bedding sets and four blankets were packed into boxes, then loaded onto a truck and transported together to Songjiang River.
On June 12th, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, sisters who had finally managed to get leave from school, were the first to return. As soon as they arrived home, the two sisters began bustling about.
On June 13th, Sheng Xi'an and the Feng family, and Sheng Xikang and the Wu family, arrived at Songjiang River together.
Sheng Xiping picked them up from the station and settled the two families at the Forestry Bureau Hotel. In the evening, Sheng Xiping arranged a banquet at the Forestry Bureau Hotel to welcome everyone back.
The Sheng, Zhou, Wu, and Feng families gathered together and discussed the wedding details.
Sheng Xiping hired Zhao Guangning to be the chief organizer of the wedding. He listened to Zhao's arrangements, including the time for the wedding procession, the route, the ceremony time, the start time of the banquet, the number of people for the wedding procession, and the number of people for the wedding procession.
Everything was discussed and written down beforehand, just in case things got chaotic on the wedding day.
