Cao Weidong welcomed County Magistrate Ji into the office.
Look at his bloodshot eyes.
He said with some distress.
"County Magistrate Ji, please sit down first. I have a self-made medicinal tea here, which has the effect of calming the mind and regulating the qi. I will brew it for you to try."
County Magistrate Ji is indeed a good county magistrate.
Work diligently.
I often stay up late to deal with official duties.
Every time Cao Weidong gets off work at night, the lights in the office in the county party committee compound are still on.
County Magistrate Ji waved his hand.
"I won't drink the water. Just give me the medicinal tea."
He made a rare joke.
Then he said:
"Actually, I have some good news to tell you this time."
"You have good news for me?"
Cao Weidong was a little confused and asked more questions.
County Magistrate Ji did not show off and said directly:
"Let me tell you, the dock in our county has been repaired."
"What?"
Cao Weidong stood up suddenly.
The eyes are shining with golden light.
You must know that these days, the dock is the place with the strongest ability to attract money in the country.
Many things cannot be transported by land.
We can only rely on shipping.
Shipping is inseparable from the dock.
Whether it is the distribution and transportation of goods or the supply of personnel, it must be carried out through the terminal.
Now the wharf in Wan'an County has finally been repaired.
Near the dock is a six-lane road connecting to the provincial highway.
The transportation is very convenient.
It can be said that this pier and the road are like a sharp sword, completely cutting off the shackles that bind Wan'an County.
And for Cao Weidong.
The county gave itself the operating rights to the docks, roads, and surrounding shops.
This means.
I can officially implement the service area plan.
……
County Magistrate Ji looked at Cao Weidong with a smile.
"You owe a lot to the completion of the pier, so I came here to tell you."
"By the way, do you have any ideas about the operation of the terminal?"
Cao Weidong pondered for a while.
He put forward the answer that he had prepared long ago.
"I think our pier should be free for passing ships to use."
County Magistrate Ji frowned.
"Free?"
In order to build this pier, the county invested a lot of money.
He also hopes to collect some money through the pier and come back.
Cao Weidong further said.
"Yes, we not only want it to be free, but also provide various services."
Looking at County Magistrate Ji's confused eyes, Cao Weidong pinched his fingers and calculated an account for Magistrate Ji.
"Do you want to make a fortune through the dock, or do you want to build Wan'an County better and better?"
County Magistrate Ji said without thinking.
"Of course we have built Wan'an County, what do I need the money for?"
"That's right."
Cao Weidong smiled and said:
"We can indeed make a small profit by charging management fees, but this will result in the loss of many customers."
"After all, we are just an inconspicuous small county, not as competitive as those big cities."
"So if we want to improve our competitiveness, we have to find another way."
County Magistrate Ji came to his senses.
"So this is a different way, it's... free?"
Cao Weidong looks like a teachable boy.
"Yes, it should not only be free, but also provide better and cheaper services to attract ships."
"When these people come, our Wan'an County will be able to develop."
County Magistrate Ji took a deep breath.
He also thought about it at this time.
What Cao Weidong said makes sense.
Now is really not the time to think about benefits.
As leaders, what they seek is to make the city better and better, not to gain short-term benefits.
Like cities, towns, and famous big cities.
Why is it prosperous?
Isn’t it because there are so many people going?
As long as they can attract people, Wan'an County can become prosperous.
County Magistrate Ji said.
"I will have a meeting with the county officials when I get back to discuss the free dock."
That’s what I said.
But in fact, he has already paid attention to it.
"Wait."
Cao Weidong quickly stopped County Magistrate Ji.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Since the pier is free, it won't work if others don't know about it, so we have to find a way to let others know."
"In addition, after these people come, if we don't have anything, we won't be able to retain them, so surrounding services must also keep up."
These are very simple truths from the past life.
But in this era, it is indeed quite new.
County Magistrate Ji simply left in no hurry.
He sat down on the sofa.
I made a packet of herbal tea myself.
He said while drinking slowly.
"I knew you had a way. If you don't finish talking today, I won't leave."
Cao Weidong sat down next to County Magistrate Ji.
"I have two ideas."
"The first is to advertise to solve the problem of publicity. The second is to retreat from the service area plan to solve the problem of supporting services."
Cao Weidong talks eloquently.
.......
The so-called advertising.
In fact, I still write reviews.
People are particularly obsessed with sharing and growing grass.
Take advantage of this mentality and find a few more influential people to praise the convenience that the construction of the dock brings to the people from different angles.
At the same time, reporters were invited to take photos and interviews.
It makes the scene lively and lively.
At that time, the announcement will be more lively.
Focus on free use of the dock.
As long as others are interested and pay attention, things will be done.
As for the service area plan
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a noodle stretching plan.
After the road was repaired, he had already built a service area.
What needs to be done now is to expand the scale of the original service area, stretching it like noodles to cover the pier.
Fortunately, the pier is very close to the highway hub.
It can be done.
In this way, various convenient services such as food, clothing, housing and transportation can be provided to passengers on board ships through the service area.
Of course this alone is not enough.
Cao Weidong also has another killer weapon that can divert traffic.
Warehouse.
He had previously discussed with the directors of several state-owned factories in the county to build a large warehouse that would be jointly owned by several investors.
Currently, participants include textile factories, brick kiln factories, and their biogas plants.
As for the furniture factory.
Since their factory director went out to expand business a while ago, he did not participate.
He has gone to see the construction schedule.
It is estimated that the warehouse will be repaired in a few days.
When the time comes, Cao Weidong will also open the warehouse to the public for free, attracting passing cargo ships to make turnover here.
With such a combination of punches, it is estimated that the docks in Wan'an County can be raised.
County Magistrate Ji was amazed.
He didn't expect Cao Weidong to think so carefully and comprehensively.
He said movedly.
"Your idea is very good, just do it, I will fully support you."
.......
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Due to the construction of a service area, the plan to go to Mu County can only be put on hold temporarily.
Cao Weidong brought Chen Xueru over.
I told her the good news.
"I have already negotiated with the textile factory. I have designed several samples and can open a clothing store at any time."
Chen Xueru behaved quite calmly.
But her slightly trembling hands still revealed her excitement.
For Chen Xueru, this is a very bold attempt.
Bring the garment sales model to China.
Of course.
At Cao Weidong's suggestion, Chen Xueru did not blindly place a ready-to-wear order, but designed three styles of clothing.
One for men and two for women.
Chen Xueru plans to promote these three types of clothes.
Then, we will promote the development of clothing stores through a point-to-point approach.
And Cao Weidong has also seen the clothes designed by Chen Xueru.
It can be said that it is very suitable for this era.
It's not ostentatious, but also very decent.
And based on Cao Weidong’s knowledge.
I don’t think these clothes are tacky.
This shows that Chen Xueru’s design vision is vicious.
"Well, then hurry up and get ready. I have to go out for a while."
Naturally, there cannot be only one clothing store in the service station.
You must have basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He plans to take some functional shops from the biogas plant, such as supply and marketing cooperatives and small canteens, and fill them in the service stations.
But the scale is still too small.
So Cao Weidong specially asked the canteen to prepare meals.
Invite several larger state-owned enterprises in the county.
Among them, Yinghua from the textile factory, Fang Yangqian from the brick kiln factory, and Lei Sanma from the furniture factory are the representatives.
There are also some scattered small factories.
Fang Yangqian looked around.
When he saw the cigarettes and alcohol on the table, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
This is all about smoking and drinking.
Cao Weidong entertains guests with things of this quality, which shows that he has great intentions.
Therefore, if there is no good wine, there will be no good meeting.
He made up his mind that this time he would not say anything, and he would be an emotionless jobber.
After all, I have suffered losses several times, and I have a sense of caution.
Cao Weidong first raised his glass to toast.
When the atmosphere was almost calm, he said.
"Dear factory directors, I have only been in Wan'an County for a short time and am not very familiar with our place. Please pay more attention to me in the future."
Fang Yangqian's heart skipped a beat.
With such a low profile, this person’s plan is huge.
It's a pity that others don't have this awareness.
Especially Lei Sanma.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he said carelessly.
"No problem. Although the biogas plant has grown in scale, our furniture factory is not weak in terms of its comprehensive strength. As long as there is a need, we will definitely help."
Others also followed suit.
Fang Yangqian said nothing.
Cao Weidong looked over.
"Director Fang, what do you think?"
This thief!
Fang Yangqian said bravely.
"Me too."
Cao Weidong let Fang Yangqian go.
Said with a smile.
"Thank you brothers for taking care of me. In this case, I won't hide you anymore."
"Actually, I have a good thing that I want to share with all my brothers."
Yingyinghua asked with great interest.
"What good news?"
Cao Weidong said.
"Our county is building a pier, everyone should know about it."
Ying Yinghua nodded.
In fact, in order to build this pier, the county even borrowed some money from them.
Cao Weidong continued.
"I had a deal with the county before and got the right to operate the wharf. After discussing with County Magistrate Ji, we decided to make it free to attract passing ships to Wan'an County."
"In order to serve these people, I have built a lot of shops around the pier. These shops are now empty. You can use these shops for business as long as you pay a small fee."
