With two such significant benefits coming your way, anyone's heart would race uncontrollably.

Two years of free factory rent, three months of water and electricity subsidies, an additional three months of employment subsidies for newly hired workers, and security and cleaning services provided by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's property management company.

Even in a southern city, such conditions wouldn't be this favorable, let alone in Shandong Province.

This is practically the city using its resources to pave a broad road for him to take off.

Of course, Li Qing understood why he was treated so well, but then again, he really did benefit from it.

Li Qing squeezed the cigarette filter in his hand tightly because of his inner turmoil. After taking the last drag, he forced himself to calm down.

In times like these, it's crucial to avoid becoming complacent.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. What the city wants are political achievements, industry, and employment rates. Only by delivering solid results can he achieve a win-win situation with the city.

"To be honest, I didn't expect such generous terms, leaders."

Li Qing composed himself, his expression turning serious, and continued speaking.

"I want to make a statement to the two leaders: after the modification plant goes into production, I will give priority to absorbing the laid-off veterans of Fengchi, and I will absolutely not exploit the workers for their due benefits and wages."

Since the city is offering such good conditions, we can't become a sweatshop.

However, his promise of preferential treatment for workers will actually increase expenses invisibly.

But he knew in his heart that the money was worth spending.

The industrial workers who emerged from Fengchi have been deeply involved in the car manufacturing industry for many years, some even dedicating their entire lives to it.

Although they are mainly agricultural vehicles, they actually achieve the same goal through different means.

Familiar with assembly lines and proficient in vehicle assembly and parts fitting, these skilled workers can save countless costs and training time compared to training new workers from scratch.

This is the most cost-effective investment.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng's smile deepened, and he nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.

"Okay, with your attitude, the city can rest assured."

To be honest, things haven't been going well for Gaoyan these past two years. Its ranking has almost dropped to the bottom. If this continues, it might even be designated as a national-level poverty-stricken county.

Since two of the three pillar industries in our city—the paper mill, the edible oil factory, and Fengchi—went bankrupt, and the third was barely surviving, the economy has been in a sharp decline.

The reason we're so supportive of you this time is that we want to try and see if we can revive the economy.

Gong Cheng recounted the city's situation over the past two years, his face filled with deep regret.

Pei Zhenbang waited for him to finish speaking before taking over the conversation.

"Qing, I'll give you more details about the workers tomorrow. I'll send you the list compiled by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau tomorrow morning."

All of them are veterans who have been working at Fengchi for more than five years, covering multiple processes.

Pick the ones you want, and I'll arrange an interview for you later.

As for the other workers you don't need, I hope you'll keep their resumes. I think you'll find them useful when you expand production.

After listening to what the two leaders said, Li Qing was deeply moved, and his last bit of concern completely disappeared.

The site is free, the labor force is readily available, the city has given it the green light, and energy is also subsidized. Now everything is ready, and all that's left is for him to officially start construction.

Afterwards, Li Qing chatted with the two for a while, and then rode the Coaster all the way back to the city hall.

After returning to the city hall, they went to the small conference room where they had held the meeting that morning.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qing began signing documents, including lease agreements and recruitment agreements.

After he finished signing, it was noon, and Li Qing had intended to treat the leaders to lunch.

But before he could even finish speaking and take out his phone to order food, Pei Zhenbang dragged him to the city government cafeteria.

Li Qing ate a working lunch with Pei Zhenbang in the cafeteria, and she seemed quite content with the meal.

After the meal, Pei Zhenbang let him leave, and there was nothing more to discuss.

After leaving the city government building and getting back into his car, Li Qing still felt a little unreal.

The city offered such generous terms that it felt like a dream come true.

Everything is ready now, and all that's left is for him to officially start work. Thinking about this makes Li Qing happy.

Li Qing sat in the car without starting it, lost in thought about industry-related matters.

First and foremost, he believed that the motorcycle shop and the soon-to-be-owned 500-acre factory area should be integrated.

He immediately came up with a name for the factory: Qingxia Custom Modification Company, or simply Qingxia Modification for external purposes.

The motorcycle shop will be positioned as an offline store, while the new factory area will serve as the production headquarters, with the entire operation under a unified brand.

The future looks bright!

Li Qing sighed to himself, started the car, and returned to the billiard hall.

Back at the billiards hall, Li Qing recounted everything that had happened that morning to Lin Xia.

No matter how earnestly Li Qing spoke, Lin Xia felt like he was telling a myth.

Only after he placed all the signed documents in front of Lin Xia did she begin to believe him.

The two continued to reminisce about what had happened that morning, and in the meantime, they also had lunch.

Having finished his business in the afternoon, Li Qing returned to the motorcycle shop and continued modifying the motorcycle.

Just then, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Wang Youliang calling. He was a little puzzled as to why Old Wang would call him.

With a few questions in mind, I pressed the call button.

"Hey? Chief Wang, what brings you to call me? Did your station arrest some young punks again and want me to come over and lecture them?"

Li Qing jokingly asked out the only reason he could think of.

"It's me. We really caught a bunch of young guys. Old Wang and I never thought of having you come and give us a lesson. Your suggestion is really good."

But when he heard the voice on the phone, he was stunned.

Because the person wasn't Wang Youliang at all, but rather a woman's voice that sounded very familiar, and then Ren Hongyun's image appeared in his mind.

"Oh? It's Commander Ren. I don't remember, so let's pretend I didn't mention it!"

I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to be your counselor.

After hearing Li Qing's answer, Ren Hongyun rolled her eyes, even though she knew Li Qing couldn't see her.

"That's a big deal. Li Qing, you're a huge internet celebrity now, where would you find the time!"

Alright, enough with the small talk. I'm calling you today because I have something serious to say!

Hearing Ren Hongyun say this, Li Qing was even more puzzled. The police station actually said they had something important to discuss with him, which he found quite absurd.

But before his absurd feeling could dissipate, his own system beeped with a notification.

His system had been inactive for a long time, so its sudden appearance really startled him.

Because he had previously boosted his mental focus, he chatted with Ren Hongyun while also glancing at the system notifications.

He did both at the same time without feeling any strain.
