In the evening, Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye, Charter King and others continued to have a sumptuous dinner at the Baiyun Hotel in Yangcheng.
However, this time there were no executives accompanying them.
Su Cheng and others didn't care about this. They felt even more uncomfortable eating with a group of people they didn't know.
The night passed quickly.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Su Cheng got up.
According to the itinerary, the person in charge of the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau will come to personally take them to inspect the business environment of Yangcheng in the morning.
In the afternoon, the old man will receive Su Cheng and the chartered king in the conference hall of the provincial capital.
Then, this trip to Guangdong Province is over, it’s that simple.
After all, I just came here for an inspection and visit, which gave these Xiangjiang businessmen a preliminary understanding of the situation in Guangdong Province.
After getting up, the hotel waiter also brought a rich breakfast.
After everyone finished eating, someone came to tell them that people from the China Merchants Bureau had arrived downstairs in the hotel.
So Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye, Charter King and others went down directly.
This time, Su Cheng only took two bodyguards out, leaving eight bodyguards waiting in the hotel.
After Su Cheng went downstairs, he said hello to Director Lin of the Investment Promotion Bureau who was in charge of their trip.
When the old man greeted Su Cheng and others at noon yesterday, Director Lin was also there, and they seemed to know each other.
This time they were taken on a bus. Along the way, Director Lin introduced the current economic situation of Guangdong Province to Su Cheng and others.
Yangcheng Iron and Steel Factory, Yangcheng Shipyard, Yangcheng Paper Factory, Pearl River Piano Factory, Yangcheng TV Factory, Pearl River Brewery, etc. In one morning, the group inspected many Yangcheng enterprises.
However, these are all state-owned enterprises and central enterprises. In this era, China is still dominated by state-owned enterprises.
Through the investigation, Su City found that many industrial structures in Yangcheng are relatively mature, but in some technology companies, such as those electrical appliance factories, the technology lags behind the international level by about five to ten years. .
After this inspection, Su Cheng felt a lot.
Although in a closed environment, it is not easy for China to keep up with the international pace in many industries.
Moreover, this era is mainly about self-sufficiency.
In Su Cheng’s previous life, there was an electric fan, a black and white TV, and a sewing machine produced in the 1970s and 1980s at home. These products produced in the 1970s and 1980s are even today in the 21st century. time, it can still be used normally.
You can imagine how good the quality of the products produced in this era is!
After going around in a circle, it was already past 12 noon. Later, under the arrangement of Director Lin, everyone had lunch at a famous restaurant in Yangcheng.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng and others appeared in the conference hall of the provincial capital to communicate with the old man and other Guangdong provincial officials.
This is a spacious conference hall with many chairs in it. Next to each chair, there is a table with fruit plates and cups. Special staff come in every once in a while to add more. Tea.
Su Cheng and Yang Chaoye, and the chartering king and his second son-in-law, all sat on the left side of the conference hall.
As for the old man and other officials, they were sitting on the right side of the conference hall.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Bao, how do you feel after the inspection?" The old man sat on the chair and asked with a smile.
“I also often go to Zhejiang Province, which is my hometown. In addition, I have also been to several provinces. I compared the economic situation between Zhejiang Province and Guangdong Province. I think the level of the two provinces is Almost the same, the economy and industry are relatively complete, and the industrial foundation is very good." The chartering king thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
“I walked all the way from Pengcheng and experienced the cultural scenery of the mainland for the first time. I felt a lot. This is a piece of land with huge potential that has not been developed. In Yangcheng, I saw things that I didn’t see in Xiangjiang. I have seen another way of life, everything seems like a blank sheet of paper. If it is in line with international standards and if the economy here is open to the outside world, the economy will definitely take off quickly in the future." Su Cheng thought for a while and said.
He was not afraid of any sensitivity in these words, because in 1979, China was about to embark on a large-scale economic opening to the outside world.
As expected, Su Cheng’s words did not offend the officials present. Their expressions, including the old man’s, did not even change at all.
"Mr. Su, you are right. In the final analysis, the reason why our economy is lagging behind is because it has not integrated with international standards. Therefore, our next work task is mainly to focus on developing the economy. This time, we have received the request in advance. The above notice is to prepare for open economic development in coastal areas.
If we want to develop our economy, it will be difficult for us to compete with the international industry based on our own backward industries, so we thought of attracting investment.
Hangjiang is a city with the same roots as ours in Guangdong Province. We all know that Xiangjiang is very developed, which is what we yearn for. We look forward to the day when one or even more cities like Xiangjiang can be developed in Guangdong Province. An economically developed city.
Before Mr. Su and Mr. Bao came, we also met with Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Guo and other celebrities in the business community in Hong Kong, and talked a lot with them. Through communication with them, we also learned a lot and understood our own shortcomings
Because we are so close, we plan to take advantage of our close proximity to Xiangjiang. Attract investment.
There must be more advantages in attracting investment. We know that your manufacturing costs in Xiangjiang are very high, whether it is labor wages or land prices, etc., and our Guangdong Province has a huge capital in this area. Advantages.
In terms of population, we have no shortage, and we have no shortage of land. We even have advantages over Xiangjiang in many other aspects!
If you come to our Guangdong Province to develop and transfer some industries to Guangdong Province, we will not only be able to greatly reduce your costs, but also give you a lot of effort in terms of taxation. For example, we are planning to build some Tax-free industrial parks, factories in these industrial parks can enjoy our five or even ten-year tax-free policy
These are our sincerity, I believe you entrepreneurs will definitely find ways to save costs , come to our Guangdong Province, I believe you will never be disappointed! . ”
The old man was very direct. After taking Su Cheng’s words, he began to talk about attracting investment, and also listed their conditions and advantages.
"With all due respect, Guangdong Province does have these advantages, but there is still a very big shortcoming in Guangdong Province at present, that is, the infrastructure is too backward. For example, we took a car all the way from Xiangjiang to Yangcheng, which is only more than 100 kilometers away. , drove for more than three hours, with an average speed of 30 to 40 hours per hour. This is enough to show how backward our road conditions are. This is even when there are no cars on the road. If Guangdong Province can change this situation, I think it would be easier to attract investment." Su Cheng thought for a while and gave his opinion. (End of this chapter)
