Volume Four, Section 49, Competition is Everywhere
After the meeting was over, Qian left Sha Zhengyang alone.
"We set a goal to be 800 million GDP in the next year. What about next year?" Qian Zheng said straight to the point: "A half-year summary, I have to submit a proposal to the municipal party committee and government, and I have to set a goal."
"It's about 400 million to 450 million." Sha Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "It's still necessary to make a lot of effort in the second half of the year."
"What are you worried about?" Qian was feeling the pressure.
"The three companies, Dingyi, Uni-Uniform and Oriental Red Rising, are relatively large in scale, because we can use their competitive mentality to achieve our goals. However, in the second half of the year, it is more difficult to involve large companies such as Wangwang, Xu Fuji, Kraft and Nestlé, and they are all relatively strong, especially for companies such as Kraft and Nestlé. It is not easy to attract them."
Sha Zhengyang is still very sober and does not become arrogant because of his early achievements.
"I personally feel that we should focus on attracting investment for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, although we continue to focus on food companies, we should consider building industrial parks such as shoes, hats, toys and sports goods in the second half of the year."
Qian Zheng has always attached great importance to Sha Zhengyang's suggestions and nodded: "Well, I also have this opinion. I cannot pin too much hope on large enterprises. It can be regarded as an unexpected surprise, but the focus should be on small and medium-sized food enterprises. Do you have any ideas about the shoe, hat, toys and sports goods industrial parks you mentioned?"
"I heard that the province has put forward high requirements for export foreign exchange earnings in various cities, and the scores of annual economic indicators are relatively high. It is estimated that the city may follow suit. It is estimated that our Economic Development Zone will be the first to bear the brunt of it. Secretary Lin and Mayor Feng will definitely have higher requirements for you." Sha Zhengyang smiled.
Qian Zheng frowned again, "Your nose is so smart. That's right, Zhou Provincial President i and Lu Provincial President i mentioned the issue of enterprises' export and foreign exchange earnings on different occasions, and asked all cities and cities to make a difference in cultivating export and foreign exchange earnings industries and enterprises, focusing on training, and even the Provincial Department of Finance must provide subsidies and reward policies."
"Wanzhou cannot escape. Mayor Qian, do you think Secretary Lin and Mayor Feng will let our Economic Development Zone go?" Sha Zhengyang smiled like a fox.
"You seem to be a little gloating. Do you think you can live a relaxed life?" Qian Zheng said angrily.
He likes the atmosphere of talking to Sha Zhengyang very much, and the elasticity and tightness seem to fall on Sha Zhengyang, and he can always find one or two countermeasures for you.
"I didn't want to live a relaxed life." Sha Zhengyang said confidently: "We are not afraid of not living a relaxed life. If we become loaches, we are not afraid of mud. The province hopes that cities in various places will produce results in export and foreign exchange. Our Wanzhou is the third largest city in the province and we have no choice but to do so. The Economic and Technological Development Zone has become the pioneer engine of Wanzhou. Can it run away?"
"So you think you want to build a shoe, hat toy and sports goods industrial park?" Qian Zheng pondered: "The food industry is indeed mainly occupying the domestic market. The shoe, hat toy and sports goods export market is very promising. I just don't know if our cost advantage and customs clearance procedures are restricted?"
"Clothing, shoes, hats, toys and sports goods are the industries with the fastest growth in export foreign exchange, and are also labor-intensive industries. Coastal areas have a transportation advantage, but their labor cost advantage is much worse than ours. But the most important thing is customs clearance. We in Wanzhou do not have a customs customs, so we should consider establishing a customs as soon as possible. This can greatly facilitate the handling of import and export business in our city, and it will also have a great role in promoting our development of the export foreign exchange industry."
Sha Zhengyang's words made Qian Zheng very excited, "What do you mean is that as long as we solve the cumbersome export customs clearance procedures, can our labor-intensive industries be competitive?"
"There is definitely a gap compared to the coastal areas. After all, they have developed for many years and have already had stable channels in customer relationships. Of course, if the investors we attract also have channels in this area, it would be the best. However, because we are located in the inland, we are definitely not as good as those in coastal areas in terms of delivery time and transportation conditions, and we are also inferior in information mastery and channel construction, especially some people who are more sensitive to delivery time will suffer, but we can still do this anyway."
Sha Zhengyang's view is very in line with Qian Zheng's appetite. No matter what, you will only know the result after doing it. You have never tried it. How can you know it is not possible? What's more, Wanzhou has the advantages of a labor-intensive industry in terms of labor wages.
"Well, the customs problem must be solved. I mentioned it to Mayor Feng some time ago, and he also agreed that this work must be done immediately. If you don't urge the supervision of these departments all day long, he won't be angry. If you can, you will delay it, or you will think you don't pay attention to it..." Qian Zheng sighed quite emotionally.

"Add to increase the amount layer by layer, Director Sha." Lu Ya and Sha Zhengyang walked side by side.
"Why, I have no confidence?" Sha Zhengyang asked back.
"Not that, but it's not bad to estimate the difficulties. Companies like Kraft and Nestlé are not so easy to win." Lu Ya's eyes became a little more agile, "But we didn't plan to hang ourselves on a tree. In addition to the food industry, there are other industries."
"Have you any ideas?" Sha Zhengyang has always admired Lu Ya's first-hand strategy. While everyone's attention is still on the hot topic, she has begun to consider finding new ways.
"Well, it's a bit. The overall industrial chain of the food industry is still a little short. In contrast, the electronic and electrical industry, as the leading industry in the future, has a huge industrial chain. Ruos Electric's development momentum is not bad this year. Mr. Jiao and I have contacted Mr. Jiao twice and asked about some information. It is expected that by the end of this year, Ruos Electric's production capacity will exceed the peak time of the original Wanzhou Electrical Factory. It is estimated that the production capacity of next year will reach more than twice the highest output of the original Wanzhou Electrical Factory."
"So do you think this part can be included?" Sha Zhengyang pondered and looked at Lu Ya, "I thought you would consider industries such as shoes, hats and toys."
"The shoe, hat and toy industry is also a way out, but Director Cao seems to be very interested in that area. And I feel that if we want to attract some large OEMs to settle in Wanzhou, it will probably be difficult. They are more inclined to coastal areas, such as Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and the Pearl River Delta, involving better supply of shoe materials. We basically have no foundation here, and it takes a process to start from scratch."
Lu Ya has not done research on this aspect. On the surface, shoes, hats and clothing should be typical labor-intensive industries, but they are basically concentrated in several relatively concentrated areas, and there are few companies going to inland areas.
Even though it is attractive in terms of salary, most companies are still unwilling to move to inland areas because of the export problem of transport in and out. At present, these shoes and hats are basically sold to Europe, America and Japan, and few enter the mainland market.
In addition, the industrial chain is not sound, and in this case, the motivation for enterprises to move in is insufficient.
"You see it very accurately. It is indeed not easy to open up the situation. We are still a little overly optimistic. This industry is different from the food industry." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "But do you think that just one of Ruos Electrical Appliances can support the electronic component industry?"
"Director Sha, it's not just that, right? Didn't it mean that the radio plant is about to start? I feel that you are confident. If such a big company moves, it will bring great demand." Lu Ya raised her eyebrows.
"I also want to ask you to build a bridge. When the radio plant really restarts, I want to visit their management and see what their needs are in the supporting construction of the industrial chain. We can attract investment as targeted as possible, not only to make up for their shortcomings, but also to achieve the implementation of projects for our Economic and Technological Development Zone."
"No wonder, why did I come to me so enthusiastically today? It turned out to be looking at this treasure." Sha Zhengyang smiled, "No problem, you guessed that once the radio plant is restarted, they will have a lot of demand for parts. Although the core components come from abroad, I guess foreign manufacturers have the intention to build factories and produce them in China."
"Really?" Lu Ya's eyes lit up, "The investment scale will definitely not be small, right?"
"It's definitely not small. I guess it's possible to have 10 or 20 million US dollars, or even higher." Sha Zhengyang nodded.
"That's great." Lu Ya was overjoyed, "In addition to core components, there must be other components, right?"
"There are most other parts in Wanzhou, but if they enter large-scale production, it will definitely not be enough. They have to expand reproduction, or build a new factory. In short, the coverage is very wide."
Of course, Sha Zhengyang didn't need to hide anything about Lu Ya, but considering that Duan Yongming had not completely finalized it, he didn't say much, and Lu Ya was also very sensible and did not ask in depth.
"Then we can work hard on this." Lu Ya couldn't help but briskly with boxing, looking eager to try. "It is said that Zhenyang Economic Development Zone also intends to follow our side. Their focus on attracting investment is also food, clothing and toys."
"The Eight Immortals show their magical powers across the sea, don't be afraid of challenges." Sha Zhengyang laughed in silence, "But Secretary Yuan seems to be aiming at our Economic and Technological Development Zone, and the visitors are not good."
"I'm afraid of not being afraid at that time, but I'm afraid of vicious competition at that time. If everyone competes to offer prices on policy preferential policies, it's not very pleasant." Lu Ya said lightly, "I feel that Secretary Yuan has been under pressure during this period, so I want to achieve a breakthrough in some aspects..."
