This self-sufficient approach to supporting industries is something only a handful of large companies worldwide can achieve. Such a plan is too ambitious for Jiafeng Electronics at present, giving the impression of being a castle in the air.
The meeting lasted from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Several times, the new department heads took the stage to speak, and it was basically Lu Feng who was talking non-stop.
As soon as the meeting was adjourned, some people in the back row started yawning, so sleepy they could barely keep their eyes open.
Zhang Fengxia came out with a folder in her hand and followed Lu Feng, saying, "We have news about the person we sent out to discuss the branch factory."
"Really? Let's talk in the office!"
Lu Feng actually had a good idea of the outcome of this matter. Liu Quan had come before and tried so hard to win him over. Setting up a branch factory in Shenzhen was a good idea. The reason for choosing those locations was to ask for a higher price and to tell the other party that he valued more than just Shenzhen; other places were also acceptable.
After entering the office, Lu Feng stretched his back and said, "Please have a seat!"
"Free land and tax breaks are available in every region, but the foreign exchange quotas they provide vary!"
Lu Feng sat down and said, "Just tell me which one has the best conditions."
Dongguan!
"Where?" Lu Feng exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
“Dongguan!” Zhang Fengxia said, opening the folder in her hand. “They’re not just offering free land. They have an industrial park covering 17,000 mu. The roads are paved, the infrastructure is complete, and they’re heavily subsidizing the water and electricity in the park. They can give us the largest factory in the industrial park, covering 5,700 mu.”
"And we guarantee that all the factory buildings will be completed by March next year, and we will receive a five-year interest-free loan of 300 million yuan, along with 200 million yuan in foreign exchange quotas to purchase advanced machinery. All enterprises in the industrial park will be exempt from taxes for three years, and from the third to the seventh year, taxes will be reduced by 50%."
"We have only one requirement: the direct job demand should be no less than 30,000, and the indirect job creation should be no less than 200,000. We are very satisfied with both of these figures."
These conditions are absolutely outrageous!
It's impossible not to be tempted. Lu Feng could tell after listening that Dongguan was really going all out. It wasn't originally a core area for manufacturing, and its policy support wasn't as strong as that of cities like Shantou and Shenzhen.
A few years ago, it was upgraded from a county to a prefecture-level city by merging several places. Now it is time to exert its strength to compete with other cities for businesses, and it is quite desperate to spend so much money.
What about Shenzhen?
"Over there, they'd give you a plot of land, 4,000 mu, tax-free, and tens of millions in interest-free loans, plus a foreign exchange quota of 100 million. But the job requirements aren't any less than here. They already have a lot of companies over there. They're short of employees, but they're not lacking."
yes!
Lu Feng sensed that Dongguan wasn't lacking businesses, but rather that it was desperate for them.
"The leaders over there still hope you can go there, have a proper talk, and take a look at the factory area. The team there is waiting for a reply."
Going to Dongguan?
Lu Feng originally thought that he could return to Shenzhen next year to reunite with Jiang Xiaoyan, but with so many conditions and him short of money, how could he possibly give up?
"Let's set it for next Monday. I'll hold a few meetings with the marketing department to get the reorganization on track." Lu Feng looked at her and said, "The rest of the work will be handled by you. It needs to be completely finished before the end of the year. We can't let it drag on too long."
Don't worry!
Lu Feng took the folder and glanced at the introduction of the industrial park. According to the introduction, this was a national-level industrial park with an initial investment of over 39 billion yuan. It was expected to attract more than 30 medium and large enterprises and directly create more than 500,000 jobs.
It indirectly created more than one million jobs in the subordinate cities and counties.
Zhang Fengxia noticed that Lu Feng seemed puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Are we considered a medium-to-large-sized enterprise?
"I guess so. If this were a city, our scale would already be huge. If it were a poor city, we'd be a money-making machine," Zhang Fengxia replied.
"With such a large investment, there are probably many people eyeing it, and quite a few are waiting to get something for nothing. They all feel that this money is hard to come by."
Lu Feng smacked his lips, feeling that this was a good place, but he wouldn't be able to get his hands on it so easily.
