After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

"Really?" Li Qing exclaimed excitedly, not caring about his image at all.

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Pei Zhenbang immediately stepped out from behind Gong Cheng and explained the situation to him in detail.

"Of course it's true, you don't need to doubt anything. Right now, for the city, everything in this factory area is considered an idle resource."

It only has value when it can be used; otherwise, it will not generate any value at all.

Let me explain in detail. First, regarding the rental fees, the city government has taken the initiative to reduce or waive them for you.

But I still want to say that we need to agree on a timeframe. I think a year is fine. I believe that within a year, you, Li Qing, should be able to develop your business."

No sooner had Pei Zhenbang finished speaking than Gong Cheng added a sentence.

"Let's not make it a year, let's calculate it as two years, that'll give you more time."

Pei Zhenbang nodded immediately after Gong Cheng finished speaking.

"Then let's do as Mayor Gong said. The rent will be waived for the first two years, and rent will be collected starting from the third year."

The rental price will be calculated according to the normal standard in Gaoyan.

"Let's lower the rent by another five percent. It's rare that the class monitor and vice class monitor both gave us authorization when we came here."

Pei Zhenbang turned to look at Gong Cheng, then nodded again.

"You heard that too. You'd better work hard from now on, do a good job, and let the leaders benefit too!"

Let's continue. Regarding water and electricity consumption, the city will provide subsidies for the first three months.

For electricity bills, since our city's heating power plant isn't connected to the grid, we'll charge you 80% of the electricity rate. As for water, we'll reimburse you for the first three months as well.

In addition, security and cleaning of the factory area are uniformly handled by the property management company under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the property management fee can no longer be subsidized.

Property management companies also need to employ staff, so I hope you understand this.

A series of supportive policies were touted as if they were free, and Pei Zhenbang and Gong Cheng kept spouting them out.

These conditions completely baffled Li Qing.

The best outcome he had hoped for was that the city would give him a discount or something.

But now, to everyone's surprise, the city has provided such generous support, with benefits far exceeding our expectations.

Gong Cheng looked at Li Qing's ghost-like expression and said with a faint smile, "Don't be surprised, and don't feel that the city has lost out."

In fact, the city doesn't lose anything. For every day the factory is vacant, the city loses the value of its fixed assets for that day.

For the same reason I told you before, rather than letting them gather dust, it's better to use them to support your project's implementation!

After Gong Cheng finished speaking, Li Qing's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

Excitedly, he pulled two boxes of Capricorn from his pocket, and without even opening them, stuffed them directly into the pockets of the two leaders, who looked on in disbelief.

Li Qing then took out the cigarette he had opened himself and gave one to each of the two leaders, and even offered to light it.

Li Qing took a deep breath, the chocolate-flavored smoke billowing from his mouth and being inhaled through his nose, and with a great surge, his mood gradually began to calm down.

"Boss, just you wait and see. I will definitely make this project a success. I will not let it fall apart. Just wait and see."

His words were very straightforward and honest.

In reality, for the city, the rent may seem high, but it's just a pittance.

Revitalizing this declining industrial area, restarting idle production capacity, and creating jobs are the core achievements that city leaders value.

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, he fully realized how fortunate he was to have official support.

Previously, he had been working alone and was restricted in many ways; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to get close to Pei Zhenbang. All he wanted was stability.

Now, with the city backing him up, the starting threshold has been raised to the maximum, relieving him of many worries from the outset.

Pei Zhenbang didn't smoke as much as Li Qing; Li Qing had finished his cigarette while Pei Zhenbang still had half a cigarette left.

He stepped forward and patted Li Qing on the shoulder with the hand holding the cigarette.

"Qing, let me say this one last thing: you can only succeed, failure is not an option. Don't waste the resources the city has given you, and don't let the city lose face as well."

"Please rest assured, leader!" Li Qing said firmly and resolutely.

"Give me six months, and I will definitely build up the modification shop. In the future, I will not just focus on Great Wall Motors as the only OEM."

At the Shanghai Auto Show in August, I will definitely create a show car that will amaze everyone and transform it into a performance monster.

At the same time, it will also promote the reputation of our Gaoyan.

Li Qing made a promise to the two men, and then the group walked around various parts of the factory area.

Li Qing was also considering his own needs.

From workstation modifications and circuit repairs to assembly line fine-tuning and various area divisions, everything is meticulously calculated in my mind.

Having finalized the factory arrangements, the group walked along the main road of the factory area, slowly making their way towards the Coaster.

Gong Cheng chatted and laughed as he moved on to the next topic, which was also the second core problem.

"The site issue has now been resolved; the next step is to address the issue of industrial workers."

After Gong Cheng finished throwing the brick, Pei Zhenbang immediately continued to ask questions.

"The city has little experience with what you're going to do, and can't predict how many people you'll need."

Now tell me, how many people can you accommodate here?

When the issue of workers was mentioned, Li Qing became alert once again.

This is also the problem that gives him the biggest headache, besides the factory.

Although Xiao Guo and others in his motorcycle shop are skilled enough, they are only good at motorcycles. When it comes to cars and assembly line work, their expertise is far from sufficient.

He carefully considered it in his mind, and then gave his answer.

"Boss, regarding the workers, I'm actually just starting out, so I don't really need many people."

This time, I plan to recruit twenty skilled workers who are proficient in each workstation on the production line.

We'll consider whether to expand recruitment after the official order from Great Wall Motors is received.

"Simple!" Gong Chengfeng uttered two words casually.

Gong Cheng then looked at Pei Zhenbang, signaling him to continue.

"After Fengchi transformed and abandoned this factory area, their workers were left idle."

Even though so much time has passed and some have already found jobs, the city will still help them make connections.

These are all skilled workers, and they're skilled workers who can be trained and put to work with minimal effort.

Pei Zhenbang paused here, and calmly opened the cigarettes that Li Qing had put in his pocket, offering one to each of the people around him.

After he finished his cigarette, he continued talking under Gong Cheng's intense gaze.

"Before we arrived, the city had already notified the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Labor Bureau, and asked them to screen suitable workers."

It's probably all arranged by now, and recruitment can begin tomorrow.

But there's one thing I need to make clear to you: you can't treat them too poorly in terms of salary.

In addition, the workers you select will receive an extra $500 employment subsidy from the city, paid for three consecutive months.

To be honest, Li Qing was stunned again; the offer was just too good to pass up.

Even as he was knocked unconscious, Li Qing felt a warm glow in his heart.
