"Okay." Director Yuan then instructed Wang Pangpang to accompany him.
Several people left the China Merchants Group in a Mercedes-Benz. There were exactly four people in one car. Zhao Xiaohai was the driver. After all, his status was the lowest on the surface.
Wang Pangpang sat in the co-pilot seat and kept explaining to Li Ming and Chen Tiancheng that at this time in the Shekou Industrial Zone, there were construction sites everywhere and construction was going on non-stop. In addition to infrastructure and public facilities, investment companies were also under construction.
Finally, they stopped in a large area and the four of them got out. "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, Manager Zhao, this is the land we saw on the map. It's over 180 acres. If you invest, our trading company and sunglasses factory will be located here in the future."
Zhao Xiaohai took a deep look at the land.
Later in life, he once came to the Shekou Industrial Zone for business. At that time, although Shekou was not extremely expensive, the value of the land was also very high. Now, the use of these lands is free, with a 40-year usage period and no renewal fee.
Isn't this just given for free?
You will never find such a good thing again in the future.
Several people stood by the roadside, watching Huang Tian chatting. Zhao Xiaohai was about to go to the side to relieve himself, and Wang Pangpang followed him cunningly. After the two of them finished urinating, they did not go back. Wang Pangpang handed Zhao Xiaohai a cigarette and lit it. "Brother Zhao, do you need to say more to your general manager? Our policy here is already the most favorable."
"In the future, our industrial zone management committee will also help solve a series of problems for enterprises. For example, we can help them find workers when recruiting, and we can help them contact domestic companies when procuring raw materials. Services are also resources, right?"
I have to say,
At that time, the services in the special economic zone were really good.
As long as you come to invest.
The government is willing to help you develop as much as possible.
After looking at the land,
Zhao Xiaohai and his friends drove back to Shenzhen and stayed in a hotel. In the room, the three of them started discussing again.
After dinner, Zhao Xiaohai went out for a while and met Xue Ziqian, director of the Jiangcheng Office.
"Manager Zhao, you're back. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could pick you up at the port?" Xue Ziqian was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhao Xiaohai.
Some time ago,
Zhao Xiaohai asked someone to send over another batch of foreign exchange orders. Although it was not too much, only tens of thousands of dollars, but in just two months, the orders were sent continuously. Anyone could see how strong Manager Zhao's working ability was.
He also heard that Manager Zhao seemed to be working on a large order involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Such news is exciting to hear.
Zhao Xiaohai waved his hand. "I drove here. I have to go back to Hong Kong tomorrow. I came here to inform you that the fertilizer deal has been settled. 5,000 tons. Please talk to your superiors and ask them to help arrange for a wagon."
Xue Ziqian was overjoyed.
"5,000 tons of fertilizer! Director Zhao is truly amazing! If we take this stuff back, it's likely to cause another uproar."
"What kind of storm can fertilizer cause?"
Xue Ziqian said seriously, "You don't know how severe the fertilizer shortage is in China. The amount we import each year has to be distributed to the provinces. Each province can only get 60,000 to 70,000 tons. Of these 60,000 to 70,000 tons, each prefecture-level city only gets 3,000 to 4,000 tons. And each county only gets a few hundred tons. Just imagine how much will be distributed to farmers. Anyway, I know that last year the purchase limit in our area was 10 kilograms per household."
"Your 5,000 tons are an unplanned quota. Every city and prefecture is short of fertilizer. Now that we have an extra 5,000 tons, do you think those cities and prefectures will not rush to grab it?"
This is none of Zhao Xiaohai’s business.
He only makes money by reselling goods.
His opinion on assignments has no final say; that is the leader's concern.
Director Xue continued.
"Also, the food factory has already been approved for land, and the policies are very favorable. When do you think Ms. Chu can go and inspect it? The city government attaches great importance to this, after all, it is the first Sino-foreign joint venture."
Director Xue said with a slightly serious expression, "Manager Zhao, I just got some news and need to tell you. The municipal food factory heard about your Hong Kong-invested joint venture and wants to get involved. They're now trying to get involved with provincial leaders."
When Zhao Xiaohai heard this, his brows frowned instantly and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Xiaohai said, "How can this be possible? This Hong Kong-owned joint venture food factory is all about having the final say and operating according to market rules. What's the big deal about the city food factory getting involved?"
Director Xue was also shocked when he heard this. This investment promotion was his achievement.
If it fails, I will definitely be affected.
Director Xue sighed helplessly and continued, "I understand your perspective, Manager Zhao. But the Municipal Food Factory is a state-owned enterprise after all. If they're determined to participate, it might be difficult to refuse."
Zhao Xiaohai paced back and forth in the office, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Zhao Xiaohai: "Director Xue, you also know that state-owned factories have numerous drawbacks.
"The system is rigid, inefficient, and constrained by various rules and regulations. If this gets involved, how can our project operate flexibly? Won't all our previous plans be wasted?"
Director Xue: "That's true, but they have government support behind them, so we can't completely ignore them. Maybe they have their own advantages and can bring some resources to the project."
Zhao Xiaohai stopped and looked at Director Xue seriously.
Zhao Xiaohai: "Their so-called advantages may actually be troubles in my opinion.
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I sought investment from Hong Kong investors and put in so much effort in planning, all because I wanted to build an efficient, flexible, modern enterprise. If the municipal food factory comes, they'll undoubtedly bring their outdated management model with them. Decision-making will be difficult, and execution will be slow. How will this food factory survive in the market?
