My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 202: Work to become a shareholder, invest to become the master

Because I really didn't say which department I offended, so they still want to make things difficult for me.

Even the city has approved it. Anyone who comes out to make trouble is courting death.

And the only people who are secretly criticizing you are probably because you have such a powerful background, with leaders, media, funding scale and even back-up plans.

You are still pretending to be so low-key. If you had known earlier that you had these chips, everyone would have added fuel to the fire.

Now it is time for each part to find connections.

Rang Weidong remained humble and low-key. "Yes, there are four or five third-tier supporting factories around the Xishan Optical Instrument Factory. After we stopped delivering to the troops, our fleet became idle. We organized a group of twenty or so vehicles and parked them at the military station guesthouse on Haochi Street. We take turns running small-load trucks to Pingjing and Yuezhou, with three vehicles per shift. We maintain sufficient safety and technical maintenance capabilities. We mainly transport our products abroad, and return with film and oils from the north and clothing and electrical appliances from the south. So we registered a transportation company."

Others could quickly pick up a plate: "We have a moving company that's suffering from severe losses. Can you provide us with some assistance? We still have more than a dozen vehicles and... over 200 employees. Our site is near the dock. Can we restructure and reform the situation?"

He himself felt that these conditions were like a blind date forty years later, where someone said, "We have a girl born in 1984," or "This guy is lame and you can't tell unless he walks."

The tone was so soft.

But this is the case now because the "big pot" model makes it impossible for these backward links to operate profitably. It's not that there is no work to do in transportation, but that the problem cannot be solved within the system.

So they all threw away their burdens like cabbages, bankrupt factories, loss-making companies, and tried their best to reduce their burdens.

Since Weidong had just worked as a driver apprentice at a transportation company, he knew exactly what was going on: "The office space and dormitory are also at the dock?"

The other party sighed: "Yes, they are all old houses from before the liberation. The main problem is the low level of education, poor management, and many people rely on physical labor to make a living..."

The other leaders all looked at us sideways. We were having a good discussion, but your transportation department is just making trouble. You are all a bunch of jerk.

Yes, there are no private cars and highways now. The transportation department is just responsible for maintaining the roads. Passenger and freight transportation are thankless and public welfare units that only spend money but don't make money. They are not popular and are a place that even college graduates don't like to go to.

Weidong remembered what Shen Laosan had said about the old yard, and said with a smile: "The women in our sanitary napkin factory are not well educated, so let's see if there is any possibility of cooperation and reform."

Then I happily said we'll get together tomorrow.

The Cultural Bureau took the initiative to contact the Construction Department: "Even if we approve the renovation and reconstruction of the Liujin Photo Studio, we must hold an on-site meeting as soon as possible. It is located in the heart of Jiangzhou, and we must not let anything go wrong."

Wei Dong was secretly delighted and asked him to keep the storefront and describe the method of building a safe passage around it.

At this moment, there is no concept of humane construction, harmless construction, and civilized construction. Everyone is building the four modernizations. Who can say anything and who is affected?

Quite amazed.

Finally, it was the Brick Platform reporter team who had deliberately left some space here that urged Wei Dong to make an appointment for tomorrow and drive the reporters to the military station guesthouse in a red minivan for accommodation.

The departments were left looking at each other with a wry smile: "This young man... is no ordinary person."

"He has strong abilities, good vision, many ideas, and is down-to-earth and simple. He can definitely make a great impact if he can take root in Jiangzhou."

"These guys from the trading company deserve it. They think they can't function without them. Go and see how they vent their anger!"

"Honestly, I'd be furious too. We invested so much and created such a grand spectacle, and yet someone had the nerve to bribe people to illegally manufacture equipment and copy it. How can such a large enterprise continue to operate?"

"My, my, my, our bureau single-handedly supported the start of this sanitary napkin factory, but at this critical juncture, the section chief in charge... I really don't know anything about this. What do you think of this?"

"I hope it's a blessing in disguise. He's actually quite easy to talk to, very mature and humble. Considering his status in Pingjing..."

"Alright, alright, let's not worry about that. We need to get this thing moving quickly to see if we can recover the losses. But when he talked about the trade center incident, he really did save some face. I was sweating profusely!"

"You are the one who doesn't need to say anything, hurry up."

Anyway, the next morning, Jiangzhou Daily published relevant content on the front page, saying that private enterprises will actively participate in the construction of the new development zone.

At this moment, Weidong has not yet arrived at the Economic Development Zone in Jiangnan District.

On the way back, the middle-aged reporter once again seriously asked Weidong why he felt that the industrial and trade center was not effective.

Driving the car, Wei Dong didn't think much of it. "Just look at the data they advertise. They say over 4,000 industrial and commercial enterprises from all over the country have set up shop here. Their transaction volume in half a year seems to be over 200 million. How much do you think each company will earn? I'm afraid of calculating some of the numbers too carefully."

The reporter suddenly understood.

The average transaction volume for six months was 50,000 yuan, or a few thousand yuan per month. In contrast, the sanitary napkin factory could handle 300,000 yuan a day.

This is no joke.

Even if we don't compare it with epoch-making products like sanitary napkins, which were created with the right timing, location and people, the number of prepared foods sold in Shangzhou is more than this.

So the next day when we went to the Economic Development Zone, we just followed a photographer and took some photos. Everyone took a break and preferred to interview the Liujin Photo Studio whose building was about to be renovated.

Because this place is facing a large open field, we have to flatten everything and build everything ourselves.

But correspondingly, this is basically the first mainland economic development zone in the country, which can allocate land to Hong Kong and Taiwan-funded enterprises, as well as to private enterprises.

This was the first time that Weidong was allowed to own a plot of land. Although it was not a particularly prime location, it was large in area.

There are only three or four Hong Kong and Taiwan-funded companies currently in talks. What do you want? Is 100,000 square meters enough? The land transfer fee is like giving it away for free. You can even get the production funds for free and pay them in installments to avoid delaying production. Moreover, if the money for building the factory is not enough, the bank can provide a loan.

Weidong finally understood the proverb of the time: "The bold will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation."

At this moment, as long as you get recognition and dare to ask for it, you will try your best to give it to them like getting something for nothing. In the end, you will definitely starve to death and be frightened by this scene, so you will miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

So he's truly an outlier: "I'm just confirming I want it. I have no idea how big it will be, as it will be determined by the experts, but it must be built into a beautiful, modern factory. The key is that my factory has a lot of people, so we definitely need to build enough residential areas within the factory area. Are both industrial and residential land acceptable?"

Even the old security guards of later generations know that commercial land, industrial land, and residential land are strictly separated, but the development zone officials today have no such concept: "As long as you build on your land according to the plan, it's fine for production development!"

Rang Weidong had to explain: "If I really have over 10,000 people, I'll have to consider workers getting married and having children. I'll need single dormitories, staff apartments, and better accommodation for married couples. I'll also need living facilities. I won't have to go as far as a cinema, but I'll definitely have shops and basketball courts."

He was describing a residential area, but everyone present pictured a state-owned factory in their minds, and they all took it for granted: "Of course, no problem. The land use permit will definitely state that such construction is allowed."

Wei Dong had to elaborate further: "But I heard that the real estate company in Jiangzhou has been established. In the future, I will sell these houses to employees. This is commercial housing, so it is not against the rules, right?"

Everyone suddenly had a little downtime!

Out of line.

Commercial housing has not yet been sold in China. All city dwellers are allocated housing by their work units. Only a very small number of city dwellers who previously owned old houses move back into their documented old houses, which are managed uniformly by housing management offices or similar organizations.

Weidong is too concerned about these red lines.

At least when it was allocated to me, it should be made clear that I could sell or dispose of the industrial land, commercial land, and residential land.

Don’t use this to deal with me in the future.

The development zone then produced some regional maps and said, "It seems... the Taiwanese company has applied for a commercial housing sales permit, and we're also applying for approval. Is that what you mean?"

Only then did Weidong look at his "neighbor" and instantly understand what this was!

This is a shitty industrial investment. They just took the land and developed real estate. They tried to move the land as close to the current busy streets as possible. Could the purpose be to build a factory? At least it was for the land to appreciate in value in the future.

It seems that Weidong still has the basic emotional intelligence of a veteran in the unit. He even asked whether the Trade Building had been repaired before saying it was not good.

Since the matter they had signed had nothing to do with him, he simply nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll apply according to their terms and conditions, and ensure that the land use does not violate regulations..."

Then he couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "The economic development zone is like a fruit stall selling things. You have to put the best and most beautiful things in the front and then produce key results that will be immediately noticeable. That way, when people from all over come to visit and learn, they'll understand what you've done."

He himself was also developing an industrial park in Shangzhou. Later, the tax authorities visited too many development zones and industrial parks, and all his colleagues and leaders would talk about it when they came back.

Essentially, this thing is a small economic zone that is independently given preferential policies. In addition to boosting the economy and rapidly increasing its value, the most important thing is that it can withstand the scrutiny of all parties.

That's why he ignored everything else and just cleaned up the intersection first, established the free market, and then slowly managed the factory after he had this "model" to show to all parties.

Who has the patience to watch you produce in an abandoned warehouse and conduct scientific research in a hard and simple manner?

It must make people feel bright, wow, this is really great, new and amazing, and this experience is gained.

The eyebrows and beard in front of us are in a mess, and we can't see the changes after the establishment of the development zone. What do the leaders at all levels who approved the plan think? What do the media and colleagues who heard the news think?

The other party suddenly had an epiphany: "Comrade Weidong! Help me, we are in a desperate situation!"
