In the northwest desert, at an autonomous prefecture airport, a Gulfstream 650 painted in white and black taxied smoothly to the simple apron.
The cabin door opened, and Wu Hao and Zou Xiaodong appeared at the cabin door wearing sunglasses. They looked at the environment outside, then quickly walked down the ladder and got directly into the car that was already sitting on the tarmac.
This was originally a military airport built in a special era. Later, after the military reform, this military airport was abandoned and handed over to the local government.
However, because the place is remote and relatively backward, the airport has gradually been abandoned. Only a few propeller planes take off and land every year for afforestation or artificial rainfall.
Ever since Wu Hao and the others established a rocket launch test site deep in the desert, the airport has been renovated at their expense.
Naturally, the local government welcomed this and actively cooperated to expand the airport. From a dilapidated and abandoned airport, it is now able to take off and land ordinary regional passenger planes.
Moreover, because the rocket launch test site requires frequent personnel to travel back and forth, Wu Hao and the others specially contacted the airlines and air traffic control departments to open up a special route from Anxi to here. One flight per week, each flight is a new boat that has just been put on the market.
A small regional aircraft like the 700.
Despite this, it was still welcomed by the local people. In the past, if local people wanted to go to a big city like Anxi, they had to go to the train station in the nearby prefecture-level city and then take the train to Anxi. Or they could take a bus directly to the provincial capital and then take a train to Anxi.
Flying to Anxi is very troublesome.
But now, you can fly directly to Anxi, which makes the local people, including local leaders, very happy.
The local leaders are happy because this is a solid performance. And with the airport and air routes, they can better attract investment and develop tourism. Secondly, the transportation is also much more convenient, and it can be compared with Anxi
of large cities to strengthen ties.
The people are also happy. The transportation is convenient, just take a plane to Anxi. The important thing is that the plane ticket is not expensive, only a few hundred yuan, very cheap, saves time, and does not require a long journey.
Secondly, there is the enthusiastic expectation of local people. They all know that their place is relatively remote and lacks natural resources, so development is relatively backward.
I hope that the completion of this airport and the opening of air routes will develop the local economy so that everyone can become rich as soon as possible.
Of course, these are just a piece of cake for Wu Hao and others. Originally, they only needed a simple airport and an air route to facilitate the travel of their scientific researchers.
Unexpectedly, such an unexpected move brought huge surprises to the local area. This also made the local people more convinced that the arrival of Haoyu Technology will definitely bring development to the local area.
Wu Hao's arrival did not alarm the local people, and he was a little afraid of alarming the local people. Last time he came, the local leader almost led people to stop him on the road, but he dodged him. This time, if they knew he was coming, they might have to catch him.
.
How could he not know what the local government was thinking? It was just that he was the chairman of Haoyu Technology and a young rich man, so he naturally wanted to get some ideas from him.
But for Wu Hao, there is nothing in this remote place, and there is nothing that can be developed. Even if he wants to invest, he can't realize it.
Generally, the choice of investment location is nothing more than considering five factors. Either it is rich in natural resources, so companies or factories with a large demand for natural resources will choose to locate here.
Either it is rich in human resources and labor-intensive enterprises are suitable to locate here. Or it has developed transportation and is convenient for transportation, or it is close to the market and convenient for sales. Or it has good policies, and those companies that need policy support are the most popular.
But none of these five points are available here, at least not suitable for Wu Hao and the others.
First of all, natural resources are not abundant here. Secondly, Wu Hao and the others do not need them. What they need for production are parts and raw materials produced in factories.
The second is human resources. The labor cost here is very low. But Wu Hao’s production factories are all intelligent, unmanned and fully automatic factories. They do not need people at all, or no production workers. They only need a small number of technical engineers. Obviously, here
Not suitable.
In terms of transportation, there are no train stations, no highways, and no docks. Even the airport is still a dilapidated and renovated small airport, and the transportation is not very developed.
Not to mention the market, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the only markets are concentrated in big cities, so they can be ignored here.
As for policies, they are just a county-level autonomous prefecture, so what kind of policies can they have? So they don't have any of these five, so how can Wu Hao consider it.
But in the eyes of the leaders of these places, Wu Hao is a rich man and the boss of a large company. If you just pick a little bit from the cracks of your fingers, it will be enough to make them popular in their places.
It is understandable that local governments want to seize opportunities and develop the economy, but being pursued so fiercely made Wu Hao a little scared.
That's why he ordered that he should be as low-key as possible when he came this time, so as not to disturb the locals if possible.
However, what Wu Hao didn't expect was that when his plane landed, the person in charge at the airport immediately called the local leadership office to report the situation.
When the leaders in the place who were worried about economic development suddenly heard this, their glasses lit up, and they quickly called to discuss strategies to see how to retain Wu Hao and how to get money from him.
The convoy did not stop at the capital of the autonomous prefecture, but drove directly out of the city and drove through the endless desert.
On the straight and flat provincial road, there are endless deserts on both sides. From time to time, one or two oases can be seen on the roadside.
It's just that these oases are not large, and they appear to be formed by underground water springs in rivers or lakes.
Against the backdrop of the vast desert, the oasis revealed a patch of vibrant green. Occasionally, they could see wild donkeys, rabbits, deer, and cattle and sheep drinking and grazing leisurely on the oasis.
"So beautiful!" Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but exclaimed while looking at the scenery outside the window while wearing a pair of smart AR sunglasses.
Wu Hao smiled and said: "Haha, if I let you live here for a few years, no, a few months, you won't think so."
Zou Xiaodong smiled, then opened the car window and blew in the hot desert air: "How far away is it? Why build the rocket launch site so far away? It's really like a secret base."
Haha, Wu Hao smiled and said: "The experimental rocket launch is very dangerous. Naturally, we have to choose a place with a large area and a sparse population. It took us a long time to find this place. Come on, we will be there in an hour."
