Qin Baohua's phone call woke Lu Weimin from his intuitive feeling on the construction site. Only then did he realize that Qin Baohua had been staying in Shanghai for nearly ten days.

There is another week that is May Day, but Qin Baohua and the others have not come back yet, which shows how extraordinary this trip to Shanghai is.

Going to Shanghai is not just a matter of attracting investment in the Thyssen Elevator Project, but is actually preparing for the next step of Songzhou holding an investment promotion negotiation meeting in Shanghai.

Shanghai is the most important industrial base in the country. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, both foreign-invested enterprises and emerging industries and high-tech industries can be found in Shanghai. However, with the development of the economy, enterprises that have entered Shanghai have become increasingly aware that the investment environment in Shanghai is undergoing subtle changes. The rise in labor and transportation costs have insufficient market radiation to the inland areas and insufficient power supply guarantee. These are nothing to enterprises with high technological content and high added value, but for typical manufacturing enterprises, they have to consider it.

Therefore, Shanghai naturally became the preferred target for attracting investment in inland areas. Every year, many provinces and cities come to Shanghai to hold various investment promotion meetings and project recommendation meetings, hoping to attract capital and projects to settle in their own homes, and Songzhou is no exception.

From Songzhou to Shanghai, it is not far or close. It is close to nearly 700 kilometers after all. It is very convenient for trains, cars or planes, and bulk materials can be solved by water transportation. Therefore, this kind of distance is relatively far from a geographical perspective, but in terms of convenience and time, it is not too far.

From a certain perspective, Lu Weimin felt that Songzhou was fully qualified to become a place for industrial transfer in Songzhou. It is also located on the Yangtze River and is also considered a comprehensive industrial city with a complete range of industries. Moreover, in terms of population, Songzhou also has a large population, which means sufficient labor resources. Moreover, Songzhou radiates from Chang, Hubei and Anhui provinces, just like Shanghai radiates from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also has a great driving effect on surrounding cities and cities. Because of this, Lu Weimin felt that Songzhou should completely achieve better results in attracting investment in Shanghai than other inland cities.

Qin Baohua went there for a long time. Yu Bo and Gu Wei followed him, and according to Lu Weimin's idea, he simply took a lot of work with him.

Shanghai was originally a key investment promotion destination in Songzhou in the future. So this time, we first contacted Shanghai enterprises to learn about the current situation in Shanghai. When the investment promotion or project promotion meeting is held, it will be more targeted.

When Lu Weimin heard a "good news" suddenly appear on the phone, he was not sure what Qin Baohua's "good news" meant? Is the preliminary preparations for attracting investment were very smooth and even received the intentional approval of some companies, or is there a breakthrough in the Thyssen Elevator project?

"Baohua. What good news? I'm on the construction site. Let everyone be happy together." Lu Weimin worked hard to improve his tone.

"Secretary Lu, there is a lot of good news. Which one do you want to listen to first?" Qin Baohua also "teased" Lu Weimin.

"Haha, Baohua, let's come one by one, either tell the biggest good news first. Or follow the steps, and hopes make me happy." Lu Weimin was not polite.

"Well, then let me tell you the most important thing first. After the arrangements and contacts of the German Consulate General in Shanghai, we have met with Thyssen three times and had three deep conversations. Thyssen did not consider entering the inland area to invest in and build a factory, but after we introduced the specific situation of our Songzhou, Thyssen was a little moved. There was some progress during the second talk. The last time this time the best effect was. Thyssen initially agreed to go to Songzhou for a field visit to find out whether the situation we introduced to them was true. I feel that their attitude has changed and there is a chance."

Qin Baohua's voice on the phone could not suppress his excitement, and even infected Lu Weimin on the one end of the phone.

"Oh? Do you think there is a chance?" Lu Weimin was also excited.

If the Thysen Elevator project can be finalized, it will definitely be a good news for the start of the Songzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The influence of the Fortune 500 in the world is not a boast, but it will definitely attract attention in Changjiang. What the Songzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone now needs attention. This is equivalent to doing an advertising campaign. Even the Fortune 500 in the world will choose Songzhou as their bridgehead for entering the inland areas. So what are you waiting for?

This will definitely have a demonstration effect for other companies that are interested in entering the inland areas of China.

"Well, if the first contact is just a ritual, then the second time, Counselor Carl of the German Consulate General in Shanghai played a great role. Mr. Carl was very enthusiastic and was very satisfied with the last time he accompanied the German Federal Ministry of Economic and Technical Department to Fengzhou for inspection. He also talked about you and said that you would not have been transferred to Songzhou. This negotiation was very critical. Thyssen had an afternoon of discussion with us, and basically had a relatively detailed understanding of the situation in our Songzhou. It is estimated that they had only started to face up to this matter since this time. Today we held the third round of negotiations. They said that they would arrange an inspection team to Songzhou to inspect the investment environment in the near future."

Qin Baohua's introduction made Lu Weimin feel much more at ease. As long as the Germans are willing to come and inspect, it means that they really intend to choose a third production base outside Zhong* Mountain and Songjiang. This is true. Then Lu Weimin believes that the conditions of Songzhou are not afraid of competition, and he has the confidence to keep this project in Songzhou.

"That's great, Baohua, let's wait. As long as they come, they will guarantee that they will not be able to leave." Lu Weimin said with a smile.

"Secretary Lu, what you said is a bit scary." Qin Baohua also laughed.

"Haha, that's because of the misunderstanding. I mean, I guarantee that they will take a fancy to our Songzhou after they come and will not consider other places." Lu Weimin said confidently.

"Well, I think so too. The second good news is that after learning about the situation in our Songzhou, Thyssen also proposed that Thyssen Steel is also interested in inspecting the mainland investment market, so Thyssen Steel will also visit our Songzhou with Thyssen Elevator, especially because we are very interested in our Songzhou Huada Steel, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Wada Steel."

Qin Baohua's second good news also made Lu Weimin overjoyed.

The steel industry of ThyssenKrupp Group has always been the leader in its group, especially special steel, which is even more proud. Thyssen Steel has made moves in the Northeast and Shanghai, and entering the inland market should also be one of their goals. If the introduction of Thyssen Elevator is Songzhou's main goal, then if Thyssen Steel can make moves in Songzhou, it will undoubtedly greatly consolidate Songzhou's position as an important steel base in the junction of Chang, Hubei and Anhui and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Huada Steel has already gained considerable advantages in crude steel and ordinary steel through cost control. Whether it is Wuhan Steel, Liangang, or the downstream Nangang, Huada Steel, as a private enterprise, has demonstrated its advantages in cost control, especially when Huada Steel has successfully deployed in Australia and continuously acquired Australian mine shares, its advantages in iron ore cost are even more prominent.

However, one of the major problems that plagues Huada Steel is the shortcomings of Huada Steel in special steels and high value-added steels.

Although Huada Steel has consciously accelerated the technological research and development and construction of special steels and high-value-added steels in the past or two years, this has not been achieved overnight, especially during the period of market layout updates. When Lu Weimin visited Huada Steel, radar also frankly talked about this.

With the current domestic economy improving, especially the booming development of the real estate industry, the construction steel market is enough to make Huada Steel make a fortune, but be prepared for danger in times of peace. As the helm of Huada Steel, he must consider it longer-term, so radar has been thinking about this issue. Now Thyssen Steel is interested in entering the inland market, so it must find a partner. If Thyssen Krupp Elevator Group can settle in Songzhou and cooperate happily, then why can't Thyssen Steel settle in Songzhou to form an industrial chain layout?

The elevator industry itself also needs a large amount of steel. In addition, Suqiao's mechanical processing and Yehe's shipbuilding, the drilling and mining equipment industry also needs steel, but the demand standards for steel are far higher than construction steel. Now, a considerable proportion of the steel required in Suqiao's mechanical processing and Yehe's shipbuilding, drilling and mining equipment, pressure vessels and other industries need to be imported from Shanghai and even North China. Huada Steel cannot meet the technology. If Thyssen Steel can cooperate with Huada Steel in Songzhou, it will undoubtedly directly enter this industrial chain link, which can not only greatly reduce transportation costs, but also further support the development of Songzhou's large machinery industry.

"Baohua, I was so surprised by this news that I couldn't believe it." Lu Weimin suppressed his inner excitement. It was just an intention now. The key is the Thyssen Elevator project. As long as the cooperation on this project goes smoothly and leaves a good impression on Thyssen, then the possibility of Thyssen Steel's negotiation and cooperation will be much greater.

"Secretary Lu, we were a little surprised at that time, so we felt a little happy from the sky." Qin Baohua was in a good mood, "This is just the beginning, I believe we will have more surprises one after another."
