Reborn since 1993

Chapter 129 Going the opposite direction

Shangguan Town is centered around the Yuanqi Factory, and the surrounding private houses, factories, shops, and fields have all been inquiring about their price since last night.

At present, commercial housing has not yet emerged in Pingyang City and Shangguan Town, and land has not been speculated. A house with a yard only costs more than 10,000 yuan. After all, building a two-story, three-room new house only costs about 20,000 yuan. , and now someone suddenly offered to buy it at twice the price, and many residents in Shangguan Town suddenly became excited.

It was not until the arrival of many foreign license plates and even license plates from other provinces, as well as the arrival of teams and companies that specialized in land speculation, that the land in Shangguan Town began to really become hyped.

First, it was speculated from three to four hundred yuan per square meter, then seven to eight hundred yuan, and later it was directly speculated to more than one thousand, two hundred yuan. This price is more expensive than the housing prices in Hanxi Provincial City!

When they saw the news reported on TV stations and newspapers, many people who had made an agreement last night to sell their house felt so regretful that their thighs were swollen.

With the establishment of the Torch Group, even people who are not knowledgeable in the industry know that Shangguan Town is about to take off. No matter if the house is expropriated, a compensation payment is given, and then you can work in the Torch Group. Even if the land is not expropriated, you can still You can make a lot of money by converting private houses into shops for business or renting them out!

Pengcheng is the best proof. The rents for private houses in Pengcheng have been sky-high in the past few years, and you may not even be able to rent them with money.

Although the private housing in Shangguan Town may not be in short supply like in Pengcheng, think about how many hundreds of companies, tens of thousands of employees and their families will be created after the Torch Group is completed. In the consumer market, this account can be calculated with a little calculation!

With the participation of various teams speculating on land, the land in Shangguan Town was speculated at a rapid pace. In less than two days, a thousand pieces of land were speculated. Such ferocious speculation made Pingyang follow. Those who went to the provincial capital of Hanxi also saw how things were done in Pengcheng, Yazhou and other places. This kind of speculation was really exciting.

But facing the booming Shangguan Town land, Pingyang City Government cannot sit still. If it really wants to continue the speculation and raise the Shangguan Town land to sky-high prices, then the Torch Group's expropriation of the land will be very costly. It's outrageous. If you really want to play this way, if you haven't done anything yet and just spent tens of millions or hundreds of millions to buy land, the Torch Group will be able to run away. Even the provincial capital is so outrageous.

If the Torch Group really wants to relocate, then all parts of Hanxi Province, including the provincial capital, will probably smile crookedly. This incredible wealth has actually fallen on them. Guangdong Province, Qiantang, Jiangsu Province, etc. It is expected that the Torch Group will welcome the Torch Group to settle here with both hands.

"The land in Shangguan Town will be expropriated and demolished at a price of 700 yuan per square meter!"

The Pingyang City Government urgently announced the suspension of land transactions in Shangguan Town, and then announced the pricing of the expropriated land. Although the price was a bit more expensive than the previous land prices in Shangguan Town, it was much cheaper than the hyped land. .

Once the expropriation and demolition price came out, although some people continued to purchase land in Shangguan Town privately, the price could no longer be hyped to sky-high prices.

But even the land tax of 700 yuan is a surprise to the residents of Shangguan Town. As long as their household registration and land are in Shangguan Town, they will have the opportunity to get a sum of money to put in this era. It is considered a pretty good way to collect demolition money and join the Torch Group to work, or be a landlord, etc., and you no longer have to leave your hometown to work in coastal areas.

There are countless people in Pingyang City who envy Shangguan Town. There are 99 towns in Pingyang, but it can be expected that Shangguan Town will definitely bear the brunt of the next best-developed town in Pingyang, even in three urban areas. , may not be able to develop as well as Shangguan Town. Under such circumstances, how can we not be envious.

The arrival of municipal officials from Yanjing and the provincial capital, various land speculation companies, lighter-related industry companies, media reporters, etc. all rushed to Pingyang. For a while, the streets of Pingyang were filled with cars and cars.

Especially the road leading to the municipal gate and Changqing Road leading to Tanglin Hi-Tech, there was the first traffic jam in Pingyang in so many years. This time it was not bicycles but cars that were blocked. This scene, Many locals in Pingyang were amazed when they saw it. Even the dullest people could feel the changes happening in Pingyang.

When the outside world is like this, people who are in this storm feel even more intensely, especially the Shangguan Town Component Factory, which has become the center of the storm!

As an "old employee" of the Yuanqi Factory, Liu Caiyuan came to the Yuanqi Factory again and saw that the place was already very noisy. Standing at the gate, he saw that the Yuanqi Factory's sign had been taken down and a piece of paper had been hung on it. The deputy temporarily made the brand of "Torch Group".

Looking at this brand, Liu Caiyuan was filled with emotions for a moment. He joined the Component Factory. No, it was now renamed Torch Group. He was already in the factory when Zhang Xiaocheng took office.

Liu Caiyuan has also witnessed the rise and fall of the factory in front of him. When it was about to close down, he started producing satellite pots. After the satellite pots failed to make money for less than a year, the factory became depressed again, but now it has become the torch it is today. group.

Liu Caiyuan's experience in the past two years feels that it has been much more ups and downs than his experience in the previous ten years!

After entering the Torch Group, Liu Caiyuan saw that the entire Torch Group was busy. Originally, due to the shutdown, many people like Liu Caiyuan were sent home on leave and received a basic salary every month, but now all employees have been recruited back.

In fact, this place has become the headquarters of Torch Group and the base camp of Torch Group Industrial Park.

The factory walls are being demolished, and construction teams and large-scale infrastructure equipment are being brought in one after another. The design team invited from Yanjing is working intensively to design the layout of the Torch Group and the industrial park. What the engineering team is doing now is Level the ground and foundation, and then start construction. Liu Caiyuan saw that the original factories, restrooms, etc. were all labeled with the names of different departments, especially the former warehouse, which was converted into a laboratory, and various materials and experimental equipment were constantly being pulled in. , there are several burly men guarding the door of the laboratory, obviously they attach great importance to this place.

"Today this place must be leveled, and banners and other things must be hung up. At twelve o'clock, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held here, and everyone will be excited!"

After finding his supervisor, Liu Caiyuan and others were assigned to work and started to get busy. From today on, they all work normally. They no longer need to receive a basic salary of more than 100 yuan, but can receive overtime pay, bonuses, Prizes etc.

Today, the Torch Group headquarters is the busiest place in Pingyang and even Hanxi. People from various ministries and commissions in Yanjing, Hanxi Provincial Government, and Pingyang City Government have come to the scene. Coupled with media reporters, the place is noisy.

“The laboratory must be set up as soon as possible. No matter when the Torch Group can be completed and put into production, technical personnel must be recruited first and product development must begin!

Recruit the best technical personnel in the industry, even if they are engineers from the lighter technology industry from Japan Benzene and Bangzi, as long as they are willing to come, Torch Group can pay the liquidated damages! "

In the laboratory being built, Li Dongling came towards Zhou Wenyan, who had just been promoted to the technical director of Torch Group, who was the old scalper from Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1.

Zhou Wenyan was transferred to the Component Factory due to his work relationship. Looking at it now, he was lucky. Under Zhang Xiaocheng, Zhou Wenyan was not regarded as an old scalper, but he was held in high regard.

Zhou Wenyan hurriedly responded to Li Dongling's words. Li Dongling was the nominal major shareholder of Torch Group and a member of the board of directors of Torch Group. He was also Zhou Wenyan's immediate boss. The old scalper didn't dare not take Li Dongling's words to heart.

"These three technologies must be developed by the laboratory before they are put into production. No matter how many technical personnel are needed and how much R&D funds are invested, they must be achieved!"

Li Dongling handed a document wrapped in brown paper to Zhou Wenyan and said to him with a serious face.

"I understand, Li... Don't worry, Director Li, the technical department will develop it on time!" Zhou Wenyan said with a bit of stutter, holding the document tightly in his arms.

"It seems that Mr. Li already has a clear understanding of the development of Torch Group!"

A voice came, but it was Wu Yaoguo who came over, looked at the document in Zhou Wenyan's hand, and said to Li Dongling with a smile.

Li Dongling glanced outside and saw that Wu Yaoguo was not with the leaders from Yanjing and the provincial capital, but instead ran here.

"I have some ideas!"

The boat is on the boat, and the Torch Group's project has been finalized. The first batch of funds from Dongling Hi-Tech and Hanxi State Investment, each investing 50 million yuan, has been received. Subsequent allocations will be made based on the progress of the project. This matter It was no longer possible to go back on his word, and Li Dongling had nothing to hide from Wu Yaoguo.

Taking a document from the assistant behind him and handing it to Wu Yaoguo, Li Dongling said, "The lighter industry is not an industry that can generate high profits, but technology competition is as fierce as brand competition. Of course, if it can meet expectations, This will be a fairly stable and long-term industry, there is no room for error!

I am going to let Torch Group develop high-temperature resistant plastic materials, lighter safety locks and constant flow valve lighter technology, and register it globally! "

Wu Yaoguo is not a technical person, but he is willing to listen to these technologies. He has always believed that you can not know the technology, but you cannot know everything, otherwise you will be fooled into being a fool.

"The lighters produced by Torch Group must be exported overseas. The domestic market alone cannot handle such a large production capacity. If we want to enter the overseas market, we will definitely compete with overseas lighter giants such as Revok, Dolby, Lycra, and Hansen." To compete, the methods they will use are nothing more than using technology to choke Torch’s neck, accusing Torch products of being unsafe, and even inciting local departments to initiate anti-dumping investigations against Torch Group!”

"The last item is that the Torch Group can file a lawsuit, but technically, the Torch Group must not be controlled by others. It may even go the other way and use technology to suppress Revok's companies. Who said that Revok must be the leader in the lighter industry? It must be the one that acquires other companies. A lighter brand, why can’t Torch acquire it?!”
