Chapter 2826
After visiting the construction results of the first phase of the trade center with Ning Zijing, Bai Letong couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if it's my imagination, but the scale of construction here seems to be larger than that of Zhoushan and Hangzhou." Big!”
Bai Letong has personally witnessed the commercial institutions set up by Qiong Lianfa in Zhoushan and Hangzhou. During his stay in Hangzhou, he simply stayed in a high-end inn affiliated to Qiong Lianfa. The location is also a large area. The business district connects the docks of the Qiantang River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
Although Bai Letong is an outsider, he can still imagine that the amount of capital resources required for construction and development of this scale is absolutely staggering. Qiong Lianfa has been building momentum for many years before developing and constructing such a commercial project in the north, which shows that it is indeed determined to do something big here.
Ning Zijing said: "Qiong Lianfa's commercial projects in Zhejiang are relatively scattered, and what you see is only part of them. But the layout in Shandong is currently centered here. In terms of overall business scale, the south is still larger than here. Much more. But if the business conditions here are good, we will definitely continue to invest more in the future to expand our business scale.”
Bai Letong gave a thumbs up and said: "It's really easy to do things with money!"
Qionglianfa is the earliest local chamber of commerce organization established in Haihan. It has a certain official background and has unique advantages in business resources and trade policies. After more than 20 years of operation, Qiong Lianfa has become one of the most powerful consortiums in Haihan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as rich as the country.
Qiong Lianfa's business development model cannot be imitated by ordinary businesses. Not to mention such a large-scale infrastructure project, just enclosing such a large area of construction land, the required investment is enough to prohibit most businesses.
After years of wars and natural disasters, Shandong itself has long had no rivals. Even the Denglai Chamber of Commerce, which was organized by Chen Yixin under the instructions of the Ma family, was more than one level behind Qiong Lianfa in terms of strength.
Therefore, Qionglian can do nothing. Once it decides to develop a large-scale project here, it will directly compete with Majiazhuang's commercial status. Qiong Lianfa needs to spend a lot of investment in exchange for time, catch up with the business environment that took Majiazhuang more than ten years to gradually form, and build its own industry into a real regional trade center.
"But if we do this, will the Ma family, a local snake, be unhappy? After all, Qiong Lianfa is an outsider. After this place is built, it will definitely take away a lot of business from Majiazhuang." Bai Letong quickly thought of business competition. possible trouble.
Ning Zijing smiled and said: "How could this project be implemented here without Uncle Chen's nod? If it really conflicts with the interests of the Ma family, do you think he can agree?"
Of course Bai Letong was not stupid, and he immediately heard the implication of Ning Zijing: "Are you saying that this trade center actually has the interests of the Ma family in it?"
Ning Zijing nodded and said: "Qiong Lianfa wants to do business in the north, and the Denglai Chamber of Commerce also wants to develop south. We both compete and cooperate, each gets what he needs, and exchanges interests. This is business. ”
As Ning Zijing said, when a business develops to a certain scale and its business activities break through geographical restrictions, the interests it focuses on will not be limited to a small area in front of you.
Whether it is Qionglianfa or Denglai Chamber of Commerce, their business scope extends far beyond Shandong. The operators of both parties will not simply regard each other as competitors, but will make decisions that are more in line with their own interests based on their own needs. .
Qiong Lianfa needs certain local business resources controlled by the Denglai Chamber of Commerce, such as local specialties, sales channels, land transportation channels, etc., and even real estate such as land and houses. The Denglai Chamber of Commerce, which is relatively lacking in shipping capabilities, also needs Qiong Lianfa's mature shipping network to complete the long-distance transportation of various commodities between the north and the south. It will even deliver the goods directly to Qiong Lianfa and sell them through consignment. Way to complete the sale in other areas.
As far as Ning Zijing knew, part of the land owned by Qiong Lianfa near Zhifu Port originally belonged to Ma Dongqiang. The two parties had many contacts on this matter, and after some exchange of interests, Qiong Lianfa finally obtained the ownership of these lands. "Can you tell me what conditions Qiong Lianfa was exchanged for?" Bai Letong asked curiously.
"A pier in Kaohsiung Port, a store in Zhangzhou, and two warehouses in Haikou." Ning Zijing did not hide anything from him, and told him the truth as he knew it.
Bai Letong clicked his tongue and said: "They are all resources from the south! It seems that the Denglai Chamber of Commerce is not willing to keep operating in the north and wants to extend its hand to the south."
Ning Zijing smiled and continued: "It's more than that. As far as I know, the Denglai Chamber of Commerce also contributed money to build this trade center."
Bai Letong sighed: "Good guy, this is really me among you, and you among me!"
Ning Zijing said: "Everyone is making decisions based on the prospects ten or twenty years from now. If we don't have a long-term development perspective, how can we operate on the scale we have today!"
Bai Letong said: "Your view is very similar to the cultural and educational industry. Current investments may not yield benefits soon, and goals are often set in a few years."
"Speaking of culture and education, didn't you have to convene a meeting with the heads of various schools in Dengzhou before you left? How was it going?" Ning Zijing asked.
Bai Letong said: "The meeting is scheduled to take place in three days. Can these people come together when we see it? After this meeting is over, we should leave for Liaodong."
Compared with the cultural and educational conference that did not attract much attention, the opening ceremony of Qionglianfa Trade Center was obviously much more lively. In addition to various businesses and local officials who were invited to attend the ceremony, many people also came from nearby states and counties. There were thousands of onlookers at the scene that day.
In support of this large-scale commercial project, Chen Yixin and Bai Kesi attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony together. It is worth mentioning that Ning Zijing, as the representative of Qiong Lianfa headquarters, completed the ribbon cutting together with two senior officials from his father's generation. When the onlookers saw this, they all asked about who this young official was.
Both Bai Kesi and Chen Yixin gave brief speeches expressing official support for the project. Their appearance is actually an endorsement of the business reputation of this project. If the investors of this project did not have official backgrounds, they probably would not be able to invite heavyweights like them to attend the opening ceremony.
After the ribbon-cutting, the trade center will also prepare various performances, lottery draws, promotional activities for the public, as well as investment talks to invite businesses from all walks of life to participate, which will be lively for several days.
