Chapter 646 Investment promotion: Jiangzhou attaches great importance to it!
Five years after Chen Xiao graduated, Ou Hai, his former counselor, has become the director of the school's logistics department.
On the one hand, it is because Ou Hai's ability is already very strong, on the other hand, it is more or less due to Chen Xiao.
Seeing Chen Xiao, Wen Qi and others walking out of the arrivals passage, Ou Hai and relevant leaders from Jiangzhou University and Jiangzhou City hurriedly greeted them.
Chen Xiao and Wen Qi also saw them and greeted them enthusiastically: "Teacher Ou!"
College counselors rarely teach students, but the care and love that excellent counselors bring to students can be remembered by students for a lifetime.
Ou Hai hugged Chen Xiao warmly.
When he was in school, Chen Xiao made a deep impression on Ou Hai.
It's not that Chen Xiao is so good, but because Chen Xiao always skips classes.
After passing through the student days, the youthfulness faded away.
Ou Hai clearly felt that Chen Xiao had become more mature, while Wen Qi was like a blooming flower, more beautiful than when she was a student.
Ou Hai introduced the leaders of Jiangzhou University and Jiangzhou City to Chen Xiao and Wen Qi.
The current leader of Jiangzhou University is Li Liangkui, the former dean of the School of Materials and Chemical Engineering.
This is also an old acquaintance of Chen Xiao.
When Chen Xiao and Gao Miao were developing lithium batteries, Li Liangkui, as the dean of the School of Materials and Chemistry, strongly supported them.
Li Liangkui shook hands with Chen Xiao, and then looked at Chen Xiao's team, but found no old acquaintances.
Chen Xiao joked: "Principal Li, Gao Miao didn't come this time because he was very busy with work."
Principal Li nodded with some regret.
Gao Miao is Principal Li's favorite student. Even though Li Liangkui is now the principal, he still has to teach the students of the College of Education.
Every time he brings in new students, he will take out the young ones and praise them, which can be regarded as setting an example for the new students.
College students, especially those in science and engineering, must have the spirit of dedicated research.
President Li has always told students that going to university is not to get a job, but to be able to stand alone in this industry and even engage in scientific research and innovation.
But this is because there are very few principals like Li Liangkui. Most schools provide university education so that students can have a stable job.
As for whether to engage in scientific research and whether to engage in innovation, these are all secondary.
There are even some teachers who focus all their energy on their own side jobs and have to rely on whether they can teach students well or not.
Ou Hai continued to introduce the entourage. The one with some bald hair was Chen Shumao, the leader of Jiangzhou City, and some were other entourage.
The Toyota Coaster arranged by Jiangzhou City was parked in the parking lot, with Chen Shumao and Principal Li accompanying Chen Xiao.
The car will go to Changtian Technology's new headquarters in Jiangzhou. The new headquarters is located in Jiangzhou City's Science and Technology New City. After five years of construction, it has finally been completed.
At present, the Jiangzhou headquarters of Changtian Technology has been moved from the University Town to Jiangzhou Science and Technology New Zone.
Yinghuo Company also moved there.
Chen Shumao went to Chen Xiao to explain the planning and development of the new science and technology zone. Of course, he hoped that Changtian Technology could increase its investment in Jiangzhou.
However, due to Jiangzhou's geographical environment problems and business environment problems, it is impossible for Changtian Technology's large number of scientific research enterprises to be located in Jiangzhou. There is no doubt about this.
And every time an investment symposium is held in Jiangzhou, many leaders regret it very much.
If the headquarters of Changtian Technology could be kept in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou's development would definitely be much better than it is today.
So now Jiangzhou is trying every means to retain the remaining industries of Changtian Technology.
Changtian Technology's Jiangzhou headquarters, which originally took another two years to complete, was also completed ahead of schedule thanks to Jiangzhou's efforts.
Chen Xiao actually has strategic arrangements for Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou is an inland city, while Jiangyang Province and nearby provinces and cities have a relatively large and densely populated rural population. They are provinces with a large labor force and are quite suitable for the development of intensive labor industries.
Thanks to Chen Xiao's efforts, Tiangong Technology's largest inland factory was settled in Jiangzhou.
Several Pangu Chip production plants are also in Jiangzhou.
Just these two industries have enabled Jiangzhou City's economy to develop rapidly in the past two years, and its GDP ranks among the top among inland cities.
Leader Chen took the time to discuss cooperation and investment with Chen Xiao.
"In the entire new science and technology zone, we have cooperated with Changtian Technology's industrial chain and introduced a number of supporting group companies... Has Mr. Chen considered putting more computer production lines in our Jiangzhou?"
"Jiangzhou is also considered an inland hinterland. Let's see if Mr. Chen can consider establishing a critical care center in Jiangzhou?"
"If the intensive care center can stay in Jiangzhou, it will definitely be able to radiate to the entire central and western regions."
Chen Xiao brought his team back to Jiangzhou this time, mainly to meet with Yang Qing's technical staff to discuss the design of Hanhai mobile phones.
By the way, I was discussing school-enterprise cooperation with Jiangzhou University.
By the way, let’s talk about cooperation with Jiangzhou.
In other words, discussing cooperation with Jiangzhou was placed on the list of things Chen Xiao was least urgent about.
But for the leaders of Jiangzhou, talking about cooperation with Chen Xiao is the most important thing.
Because with the current conditions in Jiangzhou, if we try to attract other large companies to invest, the chance of success is very small.
Xia State joined the WTO in 2002. The past few years have been a golden period of development. Coastal cities have advantages in transportation, human resources and policies.
If a company wants to invest, if it is not stupid, it will usually invest in coastal areas and not in inland cities.
But Changtian Technology is different.
There is affection between Jiangzhou and Changtian Technology.
Jiangzhou can play the emotional card for Chen Xiao.
So for this one-hour meeting in the car.
Relevant departments in Jiangzhou have been preparing for several months to prepare complete plans for all projects to be negotiated.
Even though Chen Xiao is more than 20 years younger than Leader Chen.
But Chen Shumao was sitting opposite Chen Xiao (the seats inside Coaster have been changed to make it suitable for talks), and he was still quite uneasy.
What will Jiangzhou’s GDP look like in the next few years?
It just depends on whether Chen Xiao is willing to nod on these projects.
"If the critical care center can be built in Jiangzhou, we will build the site and the equipment can keep up. Changtian Technology only needs to bring the team here."
Medical industry.
This is an important direction that Jiangzhou’s relevant leaders consider for Jiangzhou’s future development.
There is a big gap in the medical resources in the entire inland cities compared with coastal areas.
There is no such advanced medical technology as the intensive care center.
If Jiangzhou can introduce the critical treatment center of Changtian Technology, it will definitely promote the development of local medicine in Jiangzhou, drive more talents to flow into Jiangzhou, and attract more patients from inland cities, especially western cities.
Say something inappropriate.
From an economic perspective, one patient is equal to a portion of GDP.
Because a patient from other places comes to Jiangzhou for treatment, the surrounding food, accommodation, etc., will become prosperous, and all of this is money.
In some developed cities, there are some nationally famous hospitals, which indeed support a large area radiated by the hospital.
Jiangzhou City's geographical location is not good and there are not many natural resources. Of course, we can only find solutions from these places.
Chen Xiao looked at the cooperation agreement handed over by Chen Shumao in detail. The conditions were indeed very favorable.
In order to keep some of Changtian Technology's industries in the local area, Jiangzhou not only had to play the emotional card with Chen Xiao, but also offered very good conditions.
For example, the building facilities here like the intensive care center are built for you, and some equipment that can be purchased on the market are even bought for you and placed here, and then you send technical personnel to operate it.
This kind of treatment is rare in the country.
Changtian Technology currently cooperates with Jiangzhou People's Hospital. Although Jiangzhou People's Hospital can also perform combined colony surgery, due to limited resources, it is mainly for local patients.
If a separate critical care center medical institution can be established, it can cover the entire Jiangyang Province and surrounding cities.
It will definitely be helpful to Jiangzhou’s economy.
It takes more than an hour to drive from the airport to the headquarters of Changtian Technology.
The relevant leaders in Jiangzhou really wanted to let Chen Xiao, who was tired from traveling, take a good rest, but time did not allow it.
Because Chen Xiao's arrangements for coming to Jiangzhou this time are very tight, Chen Shumao and others must seize the time.
Chen Xiao basically agrees with the intensive care center plan, but he still needs to consider the specific details.
After the car arrived at the Jiangzhou headquarters, Chen Xiao said to Chen Shumao: "Leader Chen, Changtian Technology is very grateful to Jiangzhou for its support over the years. I am a Jiangzhou native (Jiangcheng City is a county-level city under Jiangzhou County)
, I still have feelings for Jiangzhou."
"So I basically agree with the plan given by the city to build a treatment center. I will let Wang Xiang communicate with the leaders of relevant departments for the specific details."
With Chen Xiao's words, Leader Chen was completely relieved.
But there is one more thing that Leader Chen is still worried about.
That is manufacturing.
Chen Shumao said: "Mr. Chen, what do you think about the addition of production lines at Tiangong Technology?"
"The market has decided to extend the tax exemption period for Tiangong Technology, but the prerequisite is that we hope your company can increase its production lines and recruit more workers."
Manufacturing is the basis of all industries.
It is also an important industry in Jiangzhou City's transformation from an agricultural city to an industrial one.
At present, most of the projects of Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, are in coastal areas.
There are also factories here in Jiangzhou City, some of which are used to produce computers, and some of which only cooperate with Nokia to produce Nokia mobile phones.
Shenchuan is good at producing computers. Its output and investment are growing steadily every year, and it can greatly solve the employment problem of people in Jiangzhou City and surrounding districts, cities and counties.
Let residents in the urban-rural fringe area near Jiangzhou City or farmers in rural areas be able to work in factories at their doorsteps without having to travel to coastal areas.
But Nokia's production lines are shrinking every year.
In addition to the decline in Nokia's mobile phone sales since last year, the most fundamental reason is that Nokia hopes to get rid of its relationship with Changtian Technology, so it has given a large number of orders to Foxconn and other companies.
In order to further consolidate its dominant position in factories, Foxconn has given great discounts to companies such as Nokia.
The OEM production of various mobile phone parts has also been concentrated in coastal cities such as Yangcheng. In a sense, this has also reduced Nokia's logistics costs and improved production efficiency.
As an OEM company under Changtian Technology, Tiangong Technology itself is relatively Buddhist. In addition to completing the OEM production of computers and other electronic products, it rarely negotiates business with external parties, so orders are gradually decreasing.
The shrinkage of Tiangong Technology's production lines in Jiangzhou means that Jiangzhou cannot collect tax revenue.
A large number of Jiangzhou's labor force cannot find suitable jobs and will migrate to coastal areas.
Employment rate means a city's economic vitality.
Population is the foundation of a city.
If there is a massive loss of population, a city's fundamentals, no matter how good they are, will have no development potential.
Tiangong Technology can contribute tens of thousands of jobs to Jiangzhou.
In addition, there are additional industries such as catering, fruit, vegetable supermarkets, hotels, etc. near the factory.
Behind this lies the employment and stability issues for tens of thousands of families and hundreds of thousands of people.
In order to stabilize employment and stabilize the population from leaving the country.
Therefore, even if Jiangzhou gives up taxes, it still wants to retain Changtian Technology, hoping to retain Jiangzhou's development potential.
Regarding this proposal, Chen Xiao has a different view.
During this time in 2008, the PC market was actually becoming saturated.
Taking desktop computers as an example, individual users will buy fewer and fewer desktop computers, while enterprise-level users will tend to be stable.
Most individual users will purchase an assembly machine or purchase accessories to assemble it themselves.
Laptops can still enjoy a wave of dividends, but the overall trend is definitely declining.
By around 2010, notebook computer growth will slow down.
It would certainly be unwise to expand computer production at this point in time.
When it comes to simply selling computers, the industry is becoming more and more transparent and profits are getting lower and lower.
Chen Xiao can foresee that the years around 2008 should be the peak period for home computer sales.
After that it goes downhill.
Therefore, Changtian Technology is also constantly reducing the production of desktop computers, and it only needs to stabilize users.
Chen Shumao's hope of expanding the computer production line will definitely not work.
However, Chen Xiao decided to invest in the construction of Tiangong Technology's production plant in Jiangzhou on a large scale.
These factories are not suitable for producing computers, but are preparing for the production of mobile phones in the future.
The next wave of fast moving consumer goods dividends is mobile phones.
Smartphones will bring about a complete revolution in human life.
In this industry, one overlord will be born one after another.
Chen Xiao had to plan ahead.
This is why after Nokia continued to reduce its orders to Tiangong Technology, Changtian Technology was not busy reducing its mobile phone production lines. Instead, it kept them there and upgraded its equipment and technology.
Its purpose is to prepare for Changtian Technology to produce mobile phones in the future.
The production line of mobile phones will definitely be located in Jiangzhou.
Because with the development of economy and society, labor costs in coastal areas will become higher and higher.
Placing the mobile phone production line in Jiangzhou can also save the production cost of mobile phones to a certain extent.
However, Hanhai Mobile Phone is currently classified as confidential within Changtian Technology, and no information has been released to the public.
It is impossible for Chen Xiao to clearly tell Chen Shumao that Changtian Technology will release a smartphone soon.
Chen Xiao could only answer this way: "We will consider the issue of Tiangong Technology's expansion of its production line."
Chen Xiao can promise to locate the critical care center in Jiangzhou and promise that Changtian Technology's original industry in Jiangzhou will not be relocated. This is already a great deal of face for Chen Shumao.
Chen Shumao warmly received Chen Xiao and his entourage from Changtian Technology, had a dinner together in the evening, and then left.
After spending one night at the Jiangzhou headquarters, Chen Xiao went to Jiangzhou University early the next morning.
