Starting from the next day, Mayor Zhao began to jump between BYD and Foxconn. In the morning, he was with Foxconn, led by Guo Tai, and in the afternoon, he was with BYD, led by Wang Chuanfu.
Before either party clearly settles in southern Henan, neither party will offend, and neither party will agree.
They visited each other and had intensive talks several times, gradually finalizing a series of detailed conditions for settlement. However, after several repeated visits, Mayor Zhao's balance gradually tilted towards BYD.
It’s not just the conditions, it’s the attitude.
Being with Lu Fei and Wang Chuanfu is like taking a breath of spring breeze.
Being with Guo Taiming is like thunder and lightning.
Guo Taiming relied on taking the initiative and fought for everything he could in terms of land, taxation, recruitment, etc.
"In the first five years of production, corporate tax and value-added tax will be exempted. In the next five years, taxes will be halved, and social security and other fees will be reduced. Calculated in this way, Foxconn's annual cost reduction will be at least US$100 million. In addition, these 10
Square kilometers of land…”
Mayor Zhao said solemnly: "Mr. Guo, can we really not give in to these conditions of Foxconn?"
"This is the biggest compromise Foxconn can make."
Guo Taiming said with regret: "It's not just Southern Henan that invited Foxconn to settle down. The conditions proposed by every other company are also very good. If Southern Henan really wants to retain Foxconn, it must come up with something that can convince me to convince the board of directors."
Kind of sincerity and benefit.”
"Mr. Guo, we have shown our utmost sincerity, but there is no way Henan and the mall can make concessions on these conditions."
Mayor Zhao shook his head and laughed.
It seems that the negotiations are like the past few days, unable to reach an agreement on taxes, land and loans, and have reached a deadlock.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and dull.
"It seems our negotiations today can only go so far."
Mayor Zhao glanced at his watch and made a gesture to get up.
Guo Taiming glanced at the vice president, who immediately jumped out to dissuade him, "Don't worry, the conditions are not negotiable."
Watching him stage his performance, Mayor Zhao snorted coldly.
Even if Mr. Lu is the richest man in the world, he is not that big!
You are the richest man in the treasure island, what are you pretending to be?
He wanted to overturn the table, turn around and leave, but with the 16 counties of Shangdu on his shoulders, it was impossible for him to just leave.
"Mayor Zhao, it's not that I don't want to let it go, it's the board of directors that forces me not to let it go. Only with these conditions can the board of directors agree to Foxconn settling in southern Henan." Guo Taiming sighed, "Originally, the board of directors unexpectedly moved to Tianzhu, and it was me.
It was stopped."
"Why, Foxconn is going to Tianzhu?"
"Tianzhu offered us many offers that we couldn't refuse. For commercial confidentiality reasons, I can only say that they were more generous than those offered by southern Henan. However, I still resolutely chose to stay and choose southern Henan because I felt that businesses needed Foxconn.
Southern Henan needs Foxconn, and the people in southern Henan need Foxconn to give them a job."
"So, if southern Henan disagrees, Foxconn plans to move directly to Tianzhu?" Mayor Zhao smiled coldly.
"We are also considering other provinces, such as northern Hebei, western Jiangxi, Anhui, Sichuan and Chongqing." Guo Taiming threatened implicitly.
If you don’t do it, others will!
"Mr. Guo, we need Foxconn, but it's not just Foxconn. There are many investment projects in southern Henan!"
Mayor Zhao silently thanked Lu Fei and Wang Chuanfu. If BYD hadn't had a better one, he might have been completely passive.
Am I a spare tire?
Guo Taiming's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, "But are they as suitable for southern Henan as Foxconn?"
"Not necessarily."
Mayor Zhao showed a mysterious smile.
"In this case, Foxconn can only list southern Henan as a candidate for relocation. After we finish inspecting Tianzhu..."
Guo Taiming responded strongly that Foxconn is not in southern Henan.
"sure."
Mayor Zhao has long been unable to stand the arrogance of Foxconn, "But Mr. Guo needs to think clearly that other provinces may not be able to offer more favorable conditions in southern Henan. Even if Tianzhu has comparable conditions, it may not be suitable for southern Henan.
Isn’t it because Mr. Guo chose the mall because of its airport, population and location?”
"Let me ask, is this your intention, or is it the intention of the leaders in southern Henan?" Guo Taiming clenched his hands uneasily.
"This is what our mall means!"
Mayor Zhao said that he would report all their opinions to his superiors. Whether he agreed or not would all depend on the provincial leaders.
"Well, since we couldn't reach an agreement after talking for three days, why not leave it to the leaders to decide?" Guo Taiming breathed a sigh of relief.
The two groups broke up unhappy and left the conference room.
Mayor Zhao turned to look at his secretary, "Mr. Lu, what time does Mr. Wang's flight arrive today? Isn't it going to southern Henan now?"
"It's 10:25. We'll arrive at the airport soon."
At the same time, Lu Fei, Wang Chuanfu and others landed at Xinzheng Airport. The leaders of southern Henan, who had received the news in advance, had already upgraded the docking level from municipal level to provincial level and personally greeted them at the airport.
This noon meal is a grand treat.
There are even carp baked noodles and Yanjin recipes.
After the meal, we took a short rest in the hotel and then set off to Zhongmou County.
The gentle leader waved his hand and pointed at the desolate land in front of him, which was dozens of kilometers away from the center of the commercial capital.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, this is the airport factory area we plan to set aside for you. BYD is here~"
"Jujubes are also grown here."
Lu Fei looked around and saw some jujube trees planted in the ground.
"We are poor here, and our ancestors all make a living by farming and growing jujubes. There is no industry or resources." Leader Sven said, "If Mr. Lu and Mr. Wang agree, we will transfer it to BYD at a price of 1,200 yuan per mu per year, and you can use it as you like.
Sprinkle ink.”
Wang Chuanfu compared it and found that it was even better than the one given to Foxconn. He smiled and said, "It seems you really want to keep us here."
"Then there's still a lie!"
Leader Si Wen said: "Southern Henan is a province with a large population, but the local industrial chain is imperfect and provides too few job opportunities. There is a serious population spillover every year. No matter what, we cannot miss this coastal inward migration.
window period."
Then he said firmly: "So Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, as long as it is logical, BYD can come to southern Henan, whether it is 10 or 100, we agree to all the conditions you put forward!"
"Including Foxconn?"
Lu Fei walked to a jujube tree.
"Mr. Lu, I can firmly oppose Foxconn's settlement in southern Henan, but you must come up with a reason that is enough to convince me."
The gentle leader looked serious.
"It's very simple. Apple and Logic are competitors. BYD, which manufactures Logic, is also a competitor with Foxconn, which manufactures Apple. I can't let my competitors enjoy my dividends, right?"
Lu Fei is straightforward, in short, it’s you without him!
"..."
Leader Sven was silent for a moment, and the others also looked at each other.
Wang Chuanfu added, "Furthermore, Foxconn's industrial chain is different from BYD's, because the logic is that it is a domestic brand and the localization rate of parts and components is high. The money earned can be kept in southern Henan and in China. Foxconn will only let Apple eat."
Meat, you can drink the soup yourself, but how many mouthfuls of soup can you leave to Henan?"
"Foxconn's gross profit margin is low and its potential is insufficient. We also understand this situation." Leader Si Wen nodded.
"The key point is that this kind of foundry is profit-seeking. Foxconn can move its production line from Pengcheng to the commercial capital, and from the commercial capital to other places in the future. Sooner or later, this job in southern Henan will be taken away."
Lu Fei is serious
"If Foxconn takes it away, BYD won't take it away?"
Among the crowd, a lean leader stood up.
"Of course we will also move, but we will not just leave. We will help southern Henan's industrial transformation and technological upgrading!"
Wang Chuanfu and Lu Fei looked at each other and smiled.
"Mayor Zhao told me on the phone that Mr. Lu and Mr. Wang have a way to help the industries in southern Henan to upgrade and transform and provide reliable electronic product OEM, but they can't do this, right?" Leader Siwen said with a smile.
"Of course not this, but new energy vehicles!"
Wang Chuanfu directly said that BYD wants to develop an electric vehicle industry chain.
New energy vehicles? Electric vehicles?
Some of the leaders were stunned, some were skeptical, and some were disdainful.
These days, new energy vehicles are a joke!
"Do you think Mr. Wang and I are crazy?"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "It's okay, just laugh. I can understand. After all, when I said that I would develop my own chips, many people were waiting to see my jokes, but by the time they turned into jokes, new energy vehicles
Above, the same result."
The gentle leader couldn't help but hesitate: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, I misunderstood. We are not laughing at you. New energy vehicles are a clear strategic industry. Of course, Southern Henan supports it, but..."
"You should know that one of the economic pillars of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea is automobiles, right?" Lu Fei stretched out a finger, "A car is composed of tens of thousands of parts and components, and can drive steel, metallurgy, machinery, chemical industry,
Electronics, information and other industries." He spread his palms and said, "If the industries in southern Henan want to transform, they need such a 'leader' to be able to take advantage of them."
"Mr. Lu and Mr. Wang mean to build all the upstream and downstream industry chains of new energy vehicles in southern Henan?!"
In an instant, the leaders of southern Henan were more or less shocked.
"Not all, but most of them."
Wang Chuanfu expressed his blueprint with reservations.
Closely surrounding the shopping mall and airport, the country's important new energy vehicle industry base will be laid out, with the shopping mall as the mainstay and Kaifeng as the supplement.
Zhengbian, Jiaozuo, Luoyang, Xinxiang, Nanyang, Xuchang, Anyang, Hebi and other places have gathered key parts and components manufacturing enterprises.
Isn’t it the capital of new energy vehicles?
"Hiss~"
Even the leaders who had seen the grand scene were shocked by their grand territory, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang..."
"These are the preliminary ideas that Mr. Lu and I discussed."
Wang Chuanfu is also anxious. BYD's new energy vehicles urgently need at least one base to receive support from all aspects.
"This is the purpose of our trip. BYD's foundry is just a small project, while new energy vehicles are a big project, a big project worth hundreds of billions! Maybe it can create millions of jobs!"
Lu Fei looked left and right.
I saw the people who were still half-convinced just now, their eyes widened with gleaming eyes like hungry wolves. If these words came from Wang Chuanfu's mouth, the credibility might be only five points.
But when Mr. Lu said this, his credibility was eighty-nine percent!
After all, Mr. Lu is the richest man in the world!
"Mr. Lu, why is it the southern part of Henan?"
The gentle leader is excited, but also worried.
"It's very simple. Southern Henan is a province with a large population and is naturally a large potential market for electric vehicle consumption. It is also in the core of the hinterland of the Central Plains and is connected in all directions. It is backed by Tianjin Gate in northern Hebei, is bordered by Ludong Jiangnan in the east, and is bordered by Anhui, Anhui, and Northern Hubei in the south.
Connecting to western Shanxi and northern Shaanxi in the west, the market scope that can be radiated is quite broad, and more importantly..."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "You also said that Henan is extremely short of industry, especially pillar industries. New energy vehicles are an opportunity. Even if you take a gamble, wouldn't you be willing to take a gamble?"
"..."
The leaders looked at each other and couldn't refuse for a while.
If it really happens, then Henan will take off!
"And there are lithium mines in southern Henan. In electric vehicles, the lithium battery power system is very important, and the lithium iron phosphate material in lithium batteries is a top priority." Wang Chuanfu said, "BYD's new energy vehicle industry is in southern Henan.
The battery industry is also in southern Henan."
"Now you have a choice, right? Do you want Foxconn or BYD, which has a new energy vehicle industry chain?"
Lu Fei looked around with a smile.
Of course, the investment in lithium mines will not be limited to the domestic market. We will take advantage of the European debt crisis to deploy overseas lithium mine resources in advance.
Chile, Zimbabwe, Argentina...
Thus, controlling the voice of the upstream lithium industry.
BYD's lithium iron phosphate is located in southern Henan.
As for the ternary lithium battery, Sun Hongjun has been asked to find Zeng Yuqun. The "CATL Era" may still be called the "CATL Era", but the location needs to be changed and it will be built in western Jiangxi, where lithium resources are richest.
Ganxi is Mr. Lu’s “Lithium Battery Capital of the World”.
All over China, Mr. Lu’s flag is planted everywhere!
"Needless to say, of course it's BYD!"
Leader Sven grinned and stretched out his hand.
"Win! Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, everything you said is right! New energy vehicles will be settled in southern Henan, and they are guaranteed to prosper!"
Seeing the leader’s decision, everyone else also agreed.
In a loess jujube forest, the leaders of southern Henan took a group photo with Lu Fei and Wang Chuanfu, looking forward to the great prospects for the future.
Mr. Lu is here, sunny weather is here!
With Mr. Lu here, southern Henan will become developed!
After the leaders came back, they immediately called Mayor Zhao and others who were far away in Shanghai to withdraw! It’s okay if you don’t want Foxconn!
We want BYD! Just BYD!
Mayor Zhao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and immediately packed his luggage.
Before leaving, goodbye to Guo Taiming, with a straight back.
"It must be the leaders of southern Henan who made the decision?"
Guo Taiming had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Yes, Mr. Guo, we have received the notice from the province, but unfortunately, Southern Henan cannot agree to Foxconn's request and has decided to cancel the investment plan for Foxconn."
Mayor Zhao said: "I'm sorry to have delayed you for so many days."
"What?!"
Guo Taiming was startled, how could he say that he would fall out when he fell out?
The vice president hurriedly stopped Mayor Zhao and said, "The conditions can be discussed later. We businessmen are anyone who can negotiate."
Mayor Zhao shook his head and laughed. Discuss now? It's too late!
"Is it possible that your province has already made plans to attract investment?"
Guo Taiming saw that he was satisfied with his ambition and immediately made a guess.
"That's right, Foxconn can now look to other brother provinces or Tianzhu. I think since their conditions are higher than those in southern Henan, I won't delay Mr. Guo!"
Mayor Zhao laughed loudly and walked away.
Looking at his back, Guo Taiming had a gloomy face.
When I asked to settle down in the past, I called her Xiao Tiantian!
Now the new person is better than the old person and is called Mrs. Niu!
"Mr. Guo, what should we do?"
The vice president looked panicked. After their research and investigation, southern Henan was the most suitable place for Foxconn to move inland.
The cooked duck just flew away!
"Who is it! Who is it! Check!"
Guo Taiming gritted his teeth: "Go check it out immediately!"
"I'll go right away. I'll go find my friend in southern Henan to inquire." The vice president and others took out their phones and hurriedly investigated.
Guo Taiming had a headache. The public controversy over jumping off a building had pushed Foxconn to the forefront. Now Pengcheng's father doesn't love him, and Henan's mother doesn't love him either. It has become quite embarrassing.
The conditions in other provinces are not as good as those in southern Henan or Tianzhu!
Instead of moving inward, it’s better to move out!
After a while, the vice president brought bad news. It was BYD. It was BYD that beat Foxconn to settle in southern Henan.
Oh no, no, I'm a substitute!
Guo Taiming returned to Mayor Zhao's tough attitude in the negotiations. No wonder he refused to give in and hugged BYD's lap.
But then I thought, "No, even if BYD settles in southern Henan, it won't reject Foxconn. Who would reject two global OEM industries in the same province, unless..."
"Mr. Guo, you are right. It is said that one of the conditions for BYD to settle is that Foxconn is not allowed to enter southern Henan."
"What!"
Guo Taiming was so angry that he took action.
The vice president and others trembled violently and remained silent. No one dared to speak at this time and cause trouble, but at this moment——
The secretary hurried, bringing worse news.
Another double jumping incident occurred!
Public opinion on the Internet has exploded!
Thanks to One Hundred Years of Solitude LCY for the 1,500 starting coins.
