Such a large project can be easy to negotiate, or it can be very difficult; it depends on who makes the negotiations. More importantly, Jiafeng Electronics has gained recognition as an outstanding innovative private enterprise.
This is a form of official recognition, and many cities are vying for these types of businesses.
Vice Mayor Liu called Lu Feng, and the preferential terms offered by Lu Feng were quite good, at least much better than those for ordinary companies.
The company will provide a land subsidy of 10,000 mu and a bank loan of 30 million yuan for the initial construction of the factory area. It will also grant a three-year tax exemption and require that the factory area's tax revenue be directly paid to the local government after three years, directly creating no less than 20,000 jobs.
After hearing these conditions, Lu Feng smiled. This was probably the biggest advantage he could get on the fringes of the policy, but he still felt he was losing out a little.
You should know that in the past, building a factory not only meant getting a factory for free, but the local government would also provide subsidies for the subsequent production line. To put it bluntly, you could make money even if you just raised a few chickens in the factory.
It's like the farm subsidies of the past ten years or so: you fence off a large piece of land, an old man lives there, raises three chickens, and the sign outside says "So-and-so Large-scale Farm"—it's the same principle.
"Then I can just contact their investment promotion manager directly, right?" Lu Feng asked into the phone.
“Yes, they have someone specifically in charge of this matter.” Vice Mayor Liu, fearing that he might do the same things as before, reminded him, “President Lu, you are now an outstanding innovative entrepreneur. When you do things, you should still pay attention to your status.”
“I know, I have a lot of titles now. I heard that I am one of the city’s top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs, one of the top ten private entrepreneurs, an outstanding talent after the reform and opening up, and also a Red Flag Bearer, an outstanding talent, a philanthropic entrepreneur, and a recipient of the May Day Labor Medal?” Lu Feng sat there and rattled off a whole bunch of titles, saying, “I have them all in my office, but I haven’t even gone to collect most of them myself.”
"Alright, alright, I know you've won a lot of awards, but this one is different; it's not an award from a local organization, understand?"
"I understand, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lu Feng assured him repeatedly before hanging up the phone, then looked at Su Yourong beside him with a smile.
"You seem so happy. Is everything settled?" Su Yourong leaned back on the sofa, casually turned on the TV, and said, "You don't need me to help you find someone anymore?"
“No need, we don’t need those unconventional methods anymore. By the way, when are you going back to Hong Kong?” Lu Feng asked her.
Hearing this, Su Yourong was furious and stared at Lu Feng, saying, "Now that the matter is resolved, let me go."
"Then you should go back to work, right?" Lu Feng said, glancing at her.
"Let's wait a few more days. I'll go to Tianjin with you, just in case something unexpected happens." Su Yourong sat up and asked, "When are you planning to go?"
"Contact the local municipal government shortly and set off as soon as possible," Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
In the evening, the director of the investment promotion office in Tianjin called Lu Feng. They also attached great importance to this matter, and in particular, they mentioned that supporting the development of outstanding innovative private enterprises was one of their goals.
The voice on the other end of the phone was very sincere. Lu Feng also knew that in the domestic environment, no matter how rich you were, it was often not as good as having a proper official position; no matter how powerful a wealthy person was, they couldn't overcome a piece of paper. Of course, from a holistic perspective, for ordinary people, this was a very good thing.
After all, the rich are only a minority in this world!
The festive atmosphere of the New Year has almost faded, and most businesses have resumed production. Liu Cheng called to say that the first batch of 100 pagers produced on a trial basis have rolled off the production line. They will test these 100 units and will produce another 400 units to test signal strength, text display, standby status, and other aspects.
According to the current plan, there is no problem with starting full production in early March. However, the production lines are quite tight, and we hope to free up two production lines for production. At the very least, we need to stock up on a batch of goods first.
Lu Feng agreed, picked up his car keys, and walked out the door.
"Where are you going?" Su Yourong asked hurriedly when she saw him about to leave.
"Go to the company." Lu Feng said, then left without looking back.
Su Yourong sat there looking at the food she had made. These past two days, she had thought that being a housewife was not bad, staying at home every day, tidying up the house, and cooking.
But at this moment, she didn't feel so good. Listening to the sound of cars driving away, she muttered a complaint: "What a jerk!"
That's just how people are. When they're busy, they want to rest for a while; but when they rest for too long, they want to get busy again. Su Yourong is destined not to be a timid woman. If she were to experience what Jiang Xiaoyan went through, Lu Feng would have been killed long ago.
Upon arriving at the company headquarters, Lu Feng went straight to the president's office. Wei Yandan hadn't left work yet. Seeing Lu Feng walk in, she asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything I can help you with?"
"What are the production plans for the first quarter of this year?" Lu Feng sat down and asked her, "Give me the sales figures for last year's major products, and also show me the production schedule."
Wei Yandan called over an assistant, who soon brought over two folders. Lu Feng looked through them for a while and found that the sales of peripheral businesses were really just average. Sales of items like radios, electric fans, air conditioners, and refrigerators were only a few thousand units per month.
Radio sales, in particular, have declined sharply.
"Do you have a lot of inventory of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines? Can it last for a quarter?" Lu Feng asked.
