Reborn: Billionaire in College

"You're welcome".

Chen Pingjiang had a good impression of Wang Wenyue. At least he was not like Lao Wang, who was scolded in the face by a county leader.

The official may be a good one, but his strong attitude will scare away entrepreneurs.

Chen Pingjiang is certainly not an ordinary entrepreneur.

Who is more powerful, the mayor or the richest man? This is a "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" topic and it is not easy to make a simple comparison.

But in terms of contribution to social development, Chen Pingjiang believes that he is superior. This is not only because he has created huge social wealth, but also because he is irreplaceable.

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Chen Pingjiang led them to the large conference room next door.

During this period, many unfamiliar people came over, but what surprised Wang Wenyue was that he did not see any of the Jiuzhou Auto executives he had met before.

Is it... cold?
"Mayor Wang, I'll call you that." As soon as he sat down, Chen Pingjiang showed his strong personal style and immediately took the initiative in the conversation. "Tongcheng is my hometown. Although I haven't been back much in recent years due to my busy work, I always care about the construction and development of my hometown. The customer service center completed a few years ago is the best proof of this."

Wang Wenyue immediately followed up, "Yes, yes. The customer service center provided quite a lot of in-placement questions, and I also went to inspect it."

"Well, I'll be frank. Compared with some cities outside the Yangtze River Delta, Tongcheng has obvious advantages in location and logistics. The industrial chain problem is also easy to solve. Although there are some minor problems with population and market, they are all easy to solve. But if the competitors are places like Shanghai, Dongjiang and even Heshi, Tongcheng is at a great disadvantage in every aspect."

As soon as Chen Pingjiang opened his mouth, it seemed as if he had sentenced someone to death.

The director of the Investment Promotion Bureau said in a hurry: "Mr. Chen, our advantages are not so obvious, but we can provide more relaxed and preferential conditions in terms of policies. The big cities you mentioned may not be able to do so. If they dare to offer such conditions, local star companies will make a fuss. Our Tongcheng is different. As long as Jiuzhou Automobile can settle down, our Tongcheng will actively cooperate from top to bottom and show higher cooperation sincerity than other sister cities."

Chen Pingjiang didn't care about the "interruption". Although Wang Wenyue looked angry, it was for Chen Pingjiang to see. In fact, she didn't stop the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau from speaking.

After the other party finished speaking, Chen Pingjiang smiled and affirmed: "I believe in Tongcheng's sincerity and I feel it. But I have to say sorry."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hometown cadres sitting across the long table all changed color.

Although it has long been known that Tongcheng was not in an advantageous position, there was always a glimmer of hope before the verdict came down, but now the death penalty has been imposed.

"But..." Chen Pingjiang changed the subject, immediately raising their expectations. "I can't let you make this trip in vain!"

For these people, those few seconds were like a trip from hell to heaven.

Although the Jiuzhou Automobile Super Factory cannot be built, it will be worth the trip if other projects can make up for it.

"Although Jiuzhou Auto cannot go, Orange Technology will invest in building a factory there, and promises that the total investment in the project will not be less than 50 billion."

This is the biggest concession and compromise Chen Pingjiang could make after much consideration.

This time, the seeds have been planted in Tongcheng. If we can seize the opportunity and cultivate the soil well, we may be able to plant paulownia trees in time.

"Huh?" The group of people on the opposite side were suddenly confused.

I thought it would be a supporting factory for upstream and downstream automobiles, but it turned out to be a mobile phone factory?
Chen Pingjiang then introduced: "This is Mr. Lin from our Orange Technology. He will connect with you later."

Wang Wenyue quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Chen for your trust."

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Given the increasing sales of Orange mobile phones, pads and wearable devices, the production capacity of Dongjiang factory alone has long been unable to meet the needs, and many businesses have been outsourced to Dongjiang's Inventec.

Now is the perfect opportunity to build two more factories.

Compared with the strictness of the site selection of automobile factories, the site selection of mobile phone factories is much more flexible. Automobile manufacturing involves thousands of parts and usually requires the formation of a close industrial cluster with Tier 1 suppliers. Therefore, automobile factories tend to be located in areas with mature automobile industry chains.

Mobile phone parts are small in size and high in value (such as chips and cameras), which can be solved by air transportation or efficient logistics networks, and have low requirements for regional concentration. Tongcheng itself is close to airports and logistics hubs, so there is little pressure on the supply chain.

Another reason is that mobile phone assembly relies on assembly line workers, who have low skill requirements. Fourth-tier cities have low and abundant labor costs, which makes them attractive. In contrast, automobile factories need highly skilled technicians.

After all, don’t India and Vietnam have a lot of mobile phone factories?

After seeing off the group from Tongcheng, Chen Pingjiang breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was happy this time.

It’s like this when people from my hometown come over. I feel embarrassed to refuse, but I really can’t agree.

Chen Pingjiang kept thinking about this matter until last night before making a decision, and during this period he took into account a lot of Lin Bin's opinions.

According to Lin Bin, it is completely feasible. Just look at Foxconn.

The only problem is that a large number of general workers are needed.

…………

After Wang Wenyue returned to Tongcheng with the investment promotion team and the Orange Technology inspection team, he immediately rushed back to the Municipal Party Committee to report on his work.

After hearing the news, Ding Kai was also stunned.

Instead of getting a car factory, we got a mobile phone factory.

"That's right. We have to celebrate your success, Old Wang. This alone has completed 20% of this year's investment promotion task. The industrial chain that will be brought about afterwards will have infinite value."

This is the industry that Tongcheng really needs.

On the surface, the Orange Smart Factory will be able to provide a large number of jobs and tax revenue after its establishment, but the extension of the industrial chain and clustering effect brought about by the entry of upstream and downstream enterprises are the most terrifying.

After the mobile phone factory is established, it will attract screen, battery, casing and other component suppliers to set up factories in the surrounding area, right?
The service industries such as warehousing, freight, packaging materials, and equipment maintenance have also developed along with it, right?

Catering, accommodation and retail also increased due to workers' consumption demand.

The increase in workers’ wages can boost household consumption capacity and stimulate the development of local retail, real estate, education and other industries!

There shouldn’t be too many benefits in other aspects such as technology spillover, industrial upgrading, and city brand effects.

Otherwise, why do these big cities always want to attract similar factories to settle down?

Because the clustering effect it brings far exceeds that of other categories.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It's mainly because of Mr. Chen's kindness. I haven't forgotten my hometown in my heart. Otherwise, where can I settle down? I also suggest that this matter must be treated as the top priority of the city this year. This time, Mr. Lin, the CEO of Orange Technology, also came. On the way, he said that the main problem is whether there is enough labor force. After all, our city has a very small population."

Ding Kai nodded: "This is indeed a problem. I will contact the vocational college to hold a separate meeting later. We can also recruit workers from surrounding cities."

He changed the subject and said, "During the days you were away, I severely criticized the people below me. The old house of Mr. Chen has been in ruins because no one has lived in it for many years. The people in the community are very unreasonable. Their subjective initiative is a big problem. They act as if they didn't see anything. This kind of work attitude is unacceptable."

Wang Wenyue also thinks this is a problem.

If you don't maintain your relationship, you will always be asking for help at the last minute, and you may not be able to get it next time. (End of this chapter)
