Chapter 119: The battle for investment
When he arrived at the destination, Duke firmly refused the invitation from the two directors to dinner. He and Clement both needed a good rest.
But Clement was not able to arrange it in the two houses of the sal company. After all, there was no one to serve the room here, which was really inconvenient for Clement. So it was arranged in Kempinski, who was close to Duke's residence. [bsp; In the evening, Cai Siqiang, Dong Feng, and Zhao Jianwu insisted on pulling Duke out to drink. The old brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now that Duke is back, the mood is incredible.
In about a year, my brothers are now worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars, and the market is still rising. Such huge changes come from Duke's outbreak. Although everyone doesn't say anything, everyone has already regarded Duke as a god in their hearts.
Duke's attempt to rest was ruined, so he had to bring Clement to show up to the grand dinner prepared by Cai Siqiang.
"The first glass, welcome our Du Tiancai to return strongly!" Cai Siqiang raised his glass and said to Duke with a smirk, "You are a guest today, so we brothers will definitely accompany you."
When Duke heard Cai Siqiang say this, he couldn't help but sweat heavily on his forehead. He was about to pour his buddy into death?
These people know the best of alcohol. Among the four of them, Duke's alcohol content is actually the worst. "You big guy, you haven't seen him for only a few days. Caicai, if you want to get drunk, just open a bottle and pour it down. Don't pull your buddy. My buddy has been flying for more than ten hours. Now the jet lag has not yet turned back, so I won't be with you." Duke smiled and scolded.
Then Duke introduced Clement to everyone. "This is Dr. Clement, now the vice president of production in Mi. Clement is a senior expert in Stanford University's doctoral research on brainwave products."
Cai Siqiang and others couldn't help but feel awe. This is such a great man. He may not be able to hire a rich man. I don't know how Duke got it.
"Welcome to China. We will only drink and not talk about things tonight! We will welcome the two doctors." Cai Siqiang said to Clement with a smile.
Duke was translating while introducing Clement to the identities of Cai Siqiang and others. When Clement heard that these were senior executives of SAL, he knew that these people were Duke’s true direct persons and could deal with them well. Obviously, it was of great benefit to his development in Mi Company.
Yes, Clement is now convinced by Duke. Being able to board the big ship of Duke, Clement feels that life has truly entered the fast lane of development from now on.
The more you know about Duke, the more unfathomable Clement feels. The strong rise of Mi Company is already an unreplicable miracle for Clement, but when Clement learned that Duke still owns a sal company with a valuation of over 10 billion US dollars in China, the shock in his heart is imaginable.
Therefore, Clement had no sense of superiority as an ordinary American when he saw the Chinese, and immediately responded with a smile: "Thank you, it is my honor to be able to meet a young talent like Mr. Cai. Tonight, we will not be drunk and will not return home." Duke was very surprised when he heard this. It turned out that Clement was still an alcoholic, and now he was just what he wanted.
After such a translation, Cai Siqiang and others felt very fond of the foreigner's ability and had no airs at all.
As the saying goes, wine is character. Therefore, even if Duke made an announcement in advance that he wanted to raise his body, he could not resist the enthusiasm of his brothers, and the wine was still dark.
Five people killed 6 bottles of high-alcohol Wuliangye, except for Zhao Jianwu, Clement, Duke, Cai Siqiang, and Dong Feng all went to the toilet to hand over the public grain. They wasted tens of thousands of wine and vegetables on this table.
The next day, Director Pi and Director Lin visited Duke early in the morning, which was even more punctual than when they went to work. As soon as they met, the two obviously did not expect to collide again, so they were staring at the small eyes with big eyes and looking unconfrontation. They were fighting for high-quality resources, and the two office directors were really working hard.
"Director Pi, your legs are so fast." Director Lin smiled sarcastically. "You are not slow either, but no matter how hard you are, it is useless. Let me tell you that high-end and high-tech zones have always been the strengths of our high-tech zone." Director Pi also replied to Director Lin with a sarcastic smile.
"At least in terms of supporting policies and industrial parks, you Dongcheng District can't catch up." Director Pi's words obviously hit Director Lin's sore spot, but Director Lin was obviously not willing to be outdone and laughed dryly: "Then let's just go and see!"
Duke was feeling uncomfortable. He vomited twice last night. Although he said he couldn't drink well, he felt uncomfortable when he drank too much, so he felt a little bored when he heard the knock on the door. Cai Siqiang and others had seen him yesterday, and they thought they shouldn't have disturbed him so early.
So Duke opened the door with a depressed look on his face and felt even more upset when he saw that it was these two office directors.
"I said, two senior directors," Duke said angrily, "It's only the time now, it's still early to go to work!"
But no matter how you say it, these two office directors play a role in connecting the past and the future in the government department. If Duke wants to open a factory here, he cannot offend too much, so he still lets the two of them enter the house and talk.
Although these two men are shameless and follow Duke's butt, they seem to have no status. In fact, if they change to an average boss with a net worth of 100 million yuan, it must be the right time to curry favor with them. Dongcheng District is a deputy department-level agency, and the office director is the deputy director. Although Director Lin still looks very young, he is already at the level of a deputy county magistrate in an ordinary county.
As for Director Pi of the High-tech Zone, he is a high-end department-level cadre. He is placed in Duke's hometown county town, which is the real county magistrate. These people were replaced by a year ago, and Duke couldn't even get a chance to meet them.
It can be seen that Duke is so prosperous now. It is still the magic of money.
"Dr. Duke, that's right. Our District Mayor Zhang heard that Dr. Duke has arrived in Rongcheng, so he repeatedly invited Dr. Duke to take time to meet today." As soon as he entered the house, Director Lin said first. "District Mayor Zhang has recommended several suitable factories to mi Company according to the requirements put forward by Counselor Qin Tairan. Dr. Duke can make preliminary selections. If you think it's good, we will arrange an on-site inspection at any time."
District Mayor Zhang's movements were not slow. This speed completely overturned Duke's impression of the slow movements of the system personnel, which made Duke look at him with some admiration.
No matter what, from this point of view, there is nothing to be picky about in Dongcheng District's sincerity. This recommendation company is also a knowledge. If you can do this well, you must know yourself and your enemy. It is easy to say. However, this knowledge of your enemy. Thinking that Dongcheng District has never contacted Duke and the others at all, it has accomplished all this, and the relationship with Qin Tairan is really profound.
Only in this way can Dongcheng District figure out what mi company needs now through Qin Tairan.
Seeing that people in Dongcheng District did not follow the rules and took the lead, Director Pi didn't have time to make courtesy and quickly opened up the conditions for the High-tech Zone. "Dr. Duke, your sal company is also in the High-tech Zone. I believe that you have a very good understanding of the support and policies of the High-tech Zone for high-tech enterprises."
"High-tech enterprises like Mi Company, who can enjoy better national preferential and service support when settling in a high-tech zone," said Director Pi. "No more, Secretary Zhao of the Management Committee said that as long as Mi Company settles in a high-tech zone, plots of land within 100 acres will be selected by Mi Company. In terms of taxation, not only can they enjoy three reductions and two exemptions, but they can also enjoy the conditions of increasing and refunding all local taxes in the first two years."
When the conditions for the high-tech zone were opened, even Director Lin felt a little difficult. The high-tech zone is now a mature park, not a barren land like the 1990s. One hundred acres of land is worth a lot of money today. For the high-tech zone, if it is auctioned for commercial land, it will be a few million acres, and better land can even cost tens of millions.
In other words, for this Mi Company, the High-tech Zone did not hesitate to take out hundreds of millions of land as bait. This is really a big deal.
"Director Pi, I said I wouldn't bring this kind of fun. You can attract billions of investments a year. Why bother to compete with us for this project?" Thinking of this, Director Lin couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He knew all the projects selected in Dongcheng District. From the perspective of personnel to the factory location, they were basically in line with the assembly and production of brain wave products of Mi Company, and packaging was even more ready-made. It can be said that as long as some special equipment enters the site, debugs it, and trains workers for a few days, the factory can start production.
It can be said that Dongcheng District has put in the effort in these hardware, and the quality of workers is also in line with the product of Mi Company. However, these factories have one weakness without exception, that is, there are a large number of workers, and there are two to three thousand workers who need to be raised, and five to six thousand people, of which retired workers account for one quarter to one third. Such a heavy burden makes these factories all half-dead factories.
Mi Company wants to merge these factories, and obviously these workers also have to bear the lives of them.
It is for this reason that although there are many foreign funds preparing for mergers in recent years, when they hear such a heavy burden, those who really consider investment returns have been calculated and retreated. A few people who have made a fortune and left after making a fortune were also discovered by the district government and ended in vain. It’s just that in this era, the factory is just about not caring about workers, and the district leader dares to make the decision.
If it is not done well, a group incident will be enough to make the career path dim from now on.
Director Lin is certainly aware of this shortcoming. It doesn’t need Director Pi to tease him at all. Duke and others can understand it by studying it carefully. Compared with the three links and one level in the High-tech Zone, the gap in this condition is really too big.
