The first time Wan District was officially opened to us for tourism was in 2008. At that time, it was first implemented in several provinces and cities, and it was not fully opened until 2011.
It is now the beginning of 2010, and there are still some restrictions. People with a background like Chen Xi have to think of some ways to apply for a pass in just two weeks. After all, the review is still relatively strict.
At present, there are not many mainlanders coming here. Many tourists are from Hong Kong and Sakura.
But everyone is Asian. If you don’t specifically speak, some people won’t be able to tell the difference.
"What are you going to do, come and visit directly?" Zhao Lingshan dragged her luggage and looked at him.
"I contacted the boss before coming here."
"Does he know that you are the son of a competitor?"
"Of course not, I said you are his customer." Chen Xi shrugged.
"Haha, you are so funny." Zhao Lingshan covered her mouth and laughed.
"Let's get some food first. The food on the plane won't fill your stomach." Chen Xi greeted, and Zhao Lingshan trotted after him.
"Are you from the mainland?" The driver was an uncle. He looked at the two people in the back and asked.
"Why do you ask? We haven't spoken yet since we got in the car." Zhao Lingshan asked curiously.
"You can tell by the way you are dressed. It's so hot here and you are wearing so many clothes." The uncle replied proudly, as if he was Sherlock Holmes.
"Wow, uncle, you are so powerful, then guess where we are going next?" Zhao Lingshan looked at the other party with a smirk.
“Well...of course we’re going to the food court.”
"That's right, uncle, where's the delicious food?" Zhao Lingshan asked in a coquettish accent.
"You have asked the right person. I am known as the God of Monga. I know every street here. I will take you to places with delicious food."
"Uncle , you won’t rip us off, I heard that some drivers will take customers to familiar stores and get kickbacks.”
"Why do you little girl say that? Am I this kind of person? The place I take you to is extremely economical and affordable. If it doesn't taste good, come to me. Those people you mentioned are all bad people with ideological problems. Driver..." The driver patted his chest and acted as if I was a good person. He had obviously succeeded in Zhao Lingshan's provocation.
"Uncle, is Zhongshan North Road far from here?" Chen Xi smiled and reported the address of Wang's head office.
"It's not far. Our place is only so big. If you want to find a special car, you can call me." The driver said while driving.
At this time, Menga City was still relatively developed. The various buildings and facilities were better than many cities in mainland China. The style was somewhat similar to that of Sakura Country. The streets were full of small motorcycles, which were similar to those of some Southeast Asian countries. In a similar way.
Yongkang Street is a long-standing and famous food street in Monga. Its rich and diverse cuisine and unique cultural atmosphere attract countless diners.
Large intestine wrapped in small intestine, this is a representative of Menga's special snacks. The larger glutinous rice intestine is wrapped in the small pork intestine, and is eaten with various sauces and side dishes.
"Let me go, what is this? It looks like a hot dog." Zhao Lingshan stared at the food in front of the stall and looked left and right.
"One hundred bent coins, thank you." The boss is a cute-looking girl who speaks in a sweet voice.
The total cost of two large intestines and small intestines is 20 yuan, which is considered a good value for money.
The most important thing is to use real materials, so you don’t have to worry about technology or hard work.
“The things here are so cheap, it’s almost like they’re free.” Zhao Lingshan happily took the food.
“You compare the prices here with those in Tu’ao?” Chen Xi smiled and shook his head.
"Are all mainlanders so rich now? I saw on TV that they can't even afford instant noodles. A hundred bucks is considered cheap?" The girl murmured to herself as she looked at the two people leaving.
"Da Yin Wine and Food... The name of this hotel is quite interesting. Is Da Yin Hidden in the city?" Chen Xi said looking at the sign of a restaurant with a sense of age.
"These bosses like to pretend to be cultural people. They might as well be like my family, called so-and-so building, so-and-so Jiangnan..." Zhao Lingshan curled her lips with some disdain.
Chen Xi took a bite of large intestine wrapped in small intestine. What do you say?
It feels like it’s just two sausages put together, with some messy toppings, and it’s essentially a hot dog.
"Don't look at this place with a perverted eye. The Bend District has preserved a lot of unique Chinese culture. Here you can see some things that only appear in TV dramas." Chen Xi took Zhao Lingshan's hand and walked inside.
"What do you two want to eat? The menu is here." The waiter saw the couple and pointed to the small wooden sign hanging on the wall.
Wanwan beef noodles, oyster omelet, braised pork rice, chicken steak...
This seems to be similar to the kind of food stalls that appeared in every city in the previous life.
There is also a Wanwan restaurant in Mocun, with similar varieties.
"Ha, this store's business is really good. I didn't seem to see a chain fast food restaurant along the way." Zhao Lingshan said as she looked around at the bustling restaurant.
“The pace of life here is slow and it is not suitable for opening a chain fast food restaurant at all. People in Bend District pay attention to enjoying life. You see there are many people from Hong Kong here. People just like this sense of tranquility and fast pace. Living for too long will make people upset." Chen Xi pointed to a few Cantonese-speaking tourists next to him.
Ordering a few special snacks, the two sat down and started chatting.
"I have never understood how there are so many high-tech companies on such a small broken island, and their products cannot even be produced in the mainland." Zhao Lingshan sighed, holding her chin.
She was referring to some famous products in the bend area, such as Acer, ASUS, HTC, ZyXEL, etc.
"Look, Kimchi Country is only that big. It still has companies like LG and Samsung. Let me tell you about it." Before the food was served, Chen Xi took the time to explain.
“Kimchi Country and Bend District are different. Bend District has implemented an export-oriented industrialization strategy since the 1960s. Through government support and policy guidance, it has promoted the development of electronics, semiconductors, etc. The development of high-tech industries. Then a number of scientific industrial parks were established, such as Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, to attract high-tech enterprises to settle in through preferential policies and good infrastructure, forming an industrial agglomeration effect. investment to enhance local innovation capabilities and provide high-tech enterprises with Continuous talent support. Bend District plays an important role in the semiconductor industry. TSMC (Sand Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) is one of the largest wafer foundries in the world, with its technical strength and market share leading the way. Limited, so most companies are actively implementing globalization strategies and continuously improving their international competitiveness by setting up R&D centers, production bases and sales networks around the world." Zhao Lingshan handed him a bottle of drink and motioned for the other party to continue. She has liked listening to Chen Xi talk about various things since she was a child.
“Kimchi Country is a government-led economy. Through the formulation and implementation of a series of support policies, it has promoted the rapid development of high-tech industries such as semiconductors, electronics, and communications. The government has supported large-scale Chaebols such as Samsung and Hyundai are investing in We have given it tremendous support in terms of finance, technology, and market, helping it grow into a world-leading high-tech enterprise..."
"Young man, I didn't expect you, a mainlander, to know the Bend District quite well. "A middle-aged uncle next to him suddenly interrupted after Chen Xi finished speaking.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Xi smiled modestly at the other party.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, with a slicked back hair, and a somewhat heroic appearance.
“Are you here for tourism?” the man asked.
"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.
"Well, now that Wan District is open to tourism from the mainland, how do you think Wan District should develop economically? After all, the resources here are limited." The man suddenly asked a question.
"Of course we should implement a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy with the mainland, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and develop together. Strengthen trade exchanges, promote investment cooperation, promote industrial docking, etc."
"There are many advanced technology industries in our Bend District , do you think we go directly to the mainland to build a factory? How?”
“Absolutely.”
“So where should I choose to build the factory? The coastal areas are already full of factories. If you choose an inland city, the logistics will be better. It's not very convenient..." The middle-aged man picked up the cup and clinked it with Chen Xi.
Neither of them drank. Chen Xi drank soft drinks, while the middle-aged man drank oolong tea.
"There are many places now that are willing to offer good conditions to introduce foreign companies. You can definitely find a few more places to talk to, and go to whoever offers the best conditions. Logistics... Domestic logistics is still very poor now. Developed, technology is constantly improving, and it is expected that high-tech management will be adopted in the future. Don’t worry at all. Don’t think that transportation is so underdeveloped. River area can still be transported by water..." Chen Xi felt that this uncle was a businessman, and he asked so many questions. , just wanted to invest and build a factory in mainland China, so I made some suggestions.
“I took a look at the current wages of workers over there, and it seems that the farther inland the wages are, the lower they are. Your idea is good... but will there be other problems after I finish building the factory? The risk seems a bit high." The middle-aged man nodded first, then looked worried.
Chen Xi naturally understood what the problem he was talking about was.
"No, the more special the period, the more attention will be paid to this kind of thing. Not only will there be no problems, but better conditions will be provided... When doing business, you cannot consider only one aspect."
"That makes sense. I didn't expect you to understand this at such a young age." The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
"Then let me ask you another question. How can our high-tech industry enter the mainland market? Currently, only some electronic products are sold in large quantities in the mainland, but cutting-edge technology can only cooperate with Europe and the United States." The middle-aged man will The snack in front of him was pushed to Chen Xi, indicating that everyone should share it.
Chen Xi was not polite, gave a few pieces to Zhao Lingshan, and started eating himself.
“Nowadays, some domestic product parts are dependent on imports. The mainland is now proposing preferential policies. Enterprises can definitely find some companies to act as intermediaries and establish cooperation with Chinese enterprises, which can not only ensure their own development, but also Being suppressed by peers because of competition issues. There is a saying that it is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. This makes sense..." "Oh? Let's talk about a few companies," the uncle said in interest. The waiter waved and asked for a few more bottles of beer.
“For example, Xinde Company in the Mainland is a professional machine tool manufacturer that also provides a variety of advertising machine products such as 3D printers and inkjet printers...”
"Cough, cough."
"Is this girl too anxious to eat? Let's drink some beer to calm down."
The uncle opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Zheng, covering his mouth. Zhao Lingshan.
"Thank you." Zhao Lingshan thanked her and rolled her eyes at Chen Xi.
I thought to myself, it’s so shameless to introduce my company here openly.
"The company you are talking about cannot be from your family." The uncle is also a man, and he reacted after listening for a while.
"Haha, that's right. I came to Wan District this time to seek cooperation. I think you also run a factory, uncle, so I said a few more words." Chen Xi took a sip of beer. , laughed heartily.
"Yes, I run a factory. This is my business card." The middle-aged uncle took out a small white card from his suit pocket.
"Chairman of Youda Electronics-Peng Lang..." Chen Xi looked at the business card and searched for memories in his mind.
"We are engaged in optoelectronic information, mainly covering TFT-LCD design, manufacturing and R&D. Optoelectronics, display integration and solar energy..." Peng Lang looked at Chen Xi's expression and understood that the other party had not heard of him. So I took the initiative to introduce this company.
However, it was not that Chen Xi had never heard of it, but was a little shocked. I didn't expect that this big boss would drink beer with me in this small restaurant.
Youda Optoelectronics, formerly known as Dake Technology, was founded in 1996. In 2001, it merged with Lianyou Optoelectronics and changed its name to Youda Optoelectronics.
In 2002, Youda Optoelectronics was listed on Damili, becoming the world's first TFT-LCD design, manufacturing and R&D company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In 2006, it merged with Guanghui Electronics again, becoming one of the top three and largest thin film transistor liquid crystal display design, R&D and manufacturing companies in the world.
Many people may not have heard of this company, but many of the things people use in their daily lives are related to this company.
To be precise, this is a company similar to Huajing Electronics.
"Uncle, come and build a factory in our new house. We are now going to build it into the second science and technology capital in the country." Zhao Lingshan drank a few sips of wine and spoke freely, so she faced Peng Lang made a suggestion.
"Oh? Xinlu? I heard that Huajing Electronics has built a factory in your place. Then I couldn't get any benefits in the past. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." Peng Lang smiled. , the implication is rejection.
“Well, it is indeed difficult to build a factory in Xinlu. Now the leaders of Xinlu strongly support Huajing Electronics and give all their resources to the other party. If you want to build a factory, you have to go elsewhere. We and Huajing Electronics Jing Electronics also cooperates..."
"Oh? Where to go? Give me some advice."
"Qinhuai is actually good, but it is too close to Xinlu. If your two companies are too close, the competitive pressure will be great. It will also lead to changes in the development strategies of the two cities... I think the development of Su Province is very even. Where to build?" A factory would be fine, for example, Gusu City, which is relatively close to the Magic City, would be an ideal location..." Chen Xi touched his chin and helped Peng Lang analyze the approximate location of his settlement. (End of this chapter)
