“…the whole project can be completed in early 2012, and we will strive to open it before May st of that year.

At present, the investment promotion work has been basically completed, all brands have been connected, and a large number of top domestic and foreign brands have agreed to move in...

It is expected that after opening, it will provide more than 1.8 jobs and billions of tax revenue to the local area..."

At the construction site of Yida Plaza, which is adjacent to the May Day Business District, a group of people wearing engineering hats, led by the project team, inspected the progress of the project.

Qingyun has already invested in Yida and owns 25% of the latter's shares. Li Zehua himself is also a director of Yida Group, and he is also the largest investor in the Xingcheng Yida project.

Bringing the leaders of the two-level government offices in Xingcheng for a visit will only be beneficial to the project construction. We can also receive investment promotion groups from other cities and counties in the province to take a look around and see the real situation.

The group is trying to entice these cities and municipalities to offer better investment conditions to facilitate the group's further expansion of investment. The new projects will mainly focus on the manufacturing of new energy hybrid and pure electric vehicles.

Agricultural land transfer and contracting, food processing, commercial real estate and Internet businesses, because they involve subsequent online car-hailing, shared bicycles, bicycles and monopoly of food delivery.

It is easy to be restricted by policies. In his previous life, he could see through the Internet that taxi groups often took action against shared bicycles and online car-hailing services. Some cities did not even have bicycles.

If support can be obtained from the upper echelons, there will be many beneficiaries in the middle echelons, and it will not be a problem to suppress the local transport management and taxi groups, which in turn can prompt the group to make internal reforms.

This will release more competitive jobs in society. It is possible that online ride-hailing services will continue to develop and completely replace the taxi industry, and it is possible that online and offline connections can be achieved.

The new Zhou Shuji was promoted. It was under his leadership that Qingyun’s new energy industrial park in Xingcheng was approved. As BYD electric vehicle production lines are gradually put in place.

Assembly production will be realized before the end of the year, which will provide more than 6000 jobs for Xingcheng, coupled with Qingyun Power Technology's battery research and development, production, debugging, and recycling production chain.

As well as BYD Electronics' 200-person assembly plant in Xingcheng, these industries combined will be able to create an annual output value of more than billion yuan, billions of yuan in profits and taxes, and tens of thousands of new jobs.

Zhou Shuji was very satisfied with Qingyun, especially after the exchange at the reception dinner last night. He expressed his great attention to Qingyun's expansion of investment and personally accompanied the inspection early this morning.

In front of Zhou Shuji, Li Zehua told the smiling project leader: "The group's latest plan must be implemented as soon as possible, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Xingcheng Yida project.

Through multiple measures such as internal talent development and promotion, external talent recruitment, and win-win cooperation with scientific research institutes, we quickly formed a new management team to prepare for the next step of going deep into cities and prefectures. "

Afterwards, he seemed to be reporting to Zhou Shuji, but in fact he was talking to the investment promotion delegations from various cities who followed him: "Zhou Shuji, your speech the day before yesterday on the development of the tertiary industry is something that our company has kept in mind.

In response to your overall development plan for xxx, the group has decided to select three to four cities in the next 24 months, following the model of Xingcheng Yida.

A number of high-standard and high-quality commercial plazas will be built. At the same time, a Central China new energy vehicle industry base will be built with Xingcheng as the center, and several cities in the province will be selected to develop supporting industries.

We strive to establish an automobile industry chain with an annual output of more than 50 vehicles of various types and an annual output value of over 500 billion yuan within three to five years.

In the future, the group will also build high-tech industries such as electronic technology manufacturing, semiconductor display screens, and power technology research and development industries with Xingcheng as the center.

Make a modest contribution to the development of Xiangjiang High-tech Development Zone."

When the prefect of Xingcheng heard this, he frowned and opened his mouth, but when he saw the big men in front of him nodding frequently, he couldn't say anything.

For well-known reasons, a strong province will drive the economic development of the entire province and avoid being overly sucked away by economically developed regions. Now Qingyun has opened its mouth to disperse the automobile industry chain to other cities.

The Xingcheng government is naturally unhappy, but from the perspective of the province's coordinated economic development, a single provincial capital cannot lead all the cities, and Qingyun also needs to rely on more resources to ensure investment security.

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders of the investment promotion groups from the surrounding cities' eyes lit up, and they all pulled the accompanying Qingyun Group staff to inquire about the specific details. Among them, the four cities of Hengbao, Yueyang and Zhu were the most active.

Baoqing is purely lucky. Given its geographical location, it would be almost impossible for it to get in touch with Qingyun Group. But since the boss is from Baoqing's hometown, the group staff dare not neglect him.

Liu Xiaobo, director of the Central China region, personally came out to receive the guests.

“…I also hope that Mr. Liu can help me arrange a time. Although the matter has been decided, as long as Mr. Li is willing to come forward, we can invest in the construction of an automobile industry base and other industries in Baoqing.

Driven by huge economic interests, it is not necessarily impossible to change the status quo.”

Faced with the repeated requests of the Baoqing investment promotion group, Liu Xiaobo was overwhelmed. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist because he was also from the same hometown, especially when the other party finally said, "Mr. Liu, it's more than 50 kilometers!

Eight million people in my hometown were eagerly looking forward to it. During the project establishment of the Shanghai-Kunming Line, we mobilized countless connections, but failed to convince the China Railway Corporation to change the established plan.

But has there ever been a high-speed rail station fifty kilometers away from the city? If Director Li can help coordinate, once it is done, our government will unanimously decide that the high-speed rail station will be built at the doorstep of Director Li’s house.”

Qingyun Group has developed to this day. Not to mention the special status it enjoys among the top management, just Li Zehua himself, no matter where he goes, starts as a full-time receptionist, and invests hundreds of billions of dollars at a time.

His opinions can sometimes really change the course of a major event.

In order to get his help, the Baoqing government launched a vigorous campaign to purify the city's appearance before he came. The city allocated special funds and mobilized hundreds of engineering vehicles overnight.

It drove into a tiny mountain village that was once deserted, moved what was once the largest garbage dump in the entire prefecture-level city to a place dozens of miles away, and connected to the national power grid, moving it more than 20 meters away from someone's hometown.

A substation was relocated.

According to a leader who had surveyed the terrain and environment, "It was hard to find a billionaire, but I thought he was a heartless person. The Shanghai Office went to his house several times but could not even see him.

My goodness, I'm glad I got to take a look at the place in person. The environment is so bad that it's not suitable for living, even for raising pigs. If it were me, I probably wouldn't want to look at it a second time in my life except for worshiping my ancestors.

No wonder he didn't have a good attitude when he came to visit me, that's it! If it was someone else, it would be polite not to kick him out on the spot."

The investment promotion team was led by the local governor himself. Before arriving, he took countless photos in the local area, and carefully selected them to make a beautiful photo album, which he called "The Beauty of Hometown".

The purpose is to awaken the little homesickness that is probably left in someone's heart. He can live in Shanghai, Shenzhen, or even abroad in the future, but his relatives and friends are still in his hometown.

As the saying goes, when a person is away from home, his heart is still in his hometown. He should not look at the monk but the Buddha. He might be so happy when seeing the photo album that even a little bit of the projects in his hands would be enough to feed and drink well in the local area.

"Please help Mr. Liu and make sure to hand this photo album to Mr. Li. Even just a glance at it will be enough."

The local prefect almost used all his Thirty-Six Stratagems, and made all kinds of promises for free, which scared Liu Xiaobo so much that he didn't know how to respond.

After the inspection was over, on the way to the New Energy Industrial Park, in the minibus, Liu Xiaobo finally found the time to hand over the photo album and briefly recount the events.

Li Zehua thought for a while and said, "Didn't the group cooperate with Sany Heavy Industry to develop hybrid agricultural machinery before? We can consider setting up a complete industrial chain in our hometown. You will be responsible for the specific arrangements.

As for the relocation of the Shanghai-Kunming Railway, that's too much of a compliment to me. Is that something I can participate in?"

Zhou Shuji and other big guys were standing nearby, and when they heard this, they all had their own plans in mind.

Zhou Shuji asked the chief of staff next to him, "Baoqing North, which is more than 50 kilometers away, is indeed a problem. Can the China Railway Corporation be persuaded?"

The chief of staff thought for a moment and said, "In principle, it is not possible. Straightening is the principle of the China Railway Corporation in establishing projects. Unless it is a provincial capital or a national economic center, it is difficult to change the route specifically to take care of a city."

While they were talking, the accompanying secretary immediately found the project information on the internal website, sorted it out quickly and handed it over.

Zhou Shuji took a look and said, "It is indeed a little off."

Then he turned to communicate, "What do you think about using this as an exchange, changing the Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance headquarters and registered place, and adding the Qingyun New Energy headquarters, can it work?" Once anything is involved in huge real economic interests, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will not be a problem. Isn't it just a reroute of a station on the Shanghai-Kunming Line?

Isn’t it just a few billion extra in construction costs along the line? That’s not a big deal.

Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance was at odds with the Yuqing local government and the news that it intended to relocate was widely spread. Yuqing Real Estate was forced to make concessions and give up most of its shares.

But it still failed to change Qingyun Group's determination to pack up and relocate. However, in exchange, Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance promised that no matter where it relocated in the future, half of the land tax would be arranged by Yuqing.

It’s just an insurance company. There are at least 80 such companies in China, but it’s the only one that fully undertakes Qingyun’s business.

Just after reaching an agreement on cooperation with PICC Life Insurance and Ping An, Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance officially entered the auto insurance business. In just three months, it won commercial insurance for more than one million vehicles of various types.

Yunyunbang has even specifically designated itself to cooperate with Qingyun Insurance. You can choose not to buy it, and Yunyunbang will not force you, but do you want to receive orders from the Qingyun system smoothly?
Sorry, I'll give you the route that no one runs, and I won't make a penny on it. It's a one-way trip, but there's no return ticket, so you won't lose money.

As for private cars, they use the navigation market share of Qingyun AutoNavi Maps to penetrate step by step, and also eat the electric vehicles and electric tricycles under Meituan Fengniao to accumulate insurance premiums.

For a time, Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance's market share grew extremely fast, and it has topped the insurance business growth rate list for three consecutive months.

As other insurance licenses are issued one after another and with the help of the entire Qingyun system's internal resources, everyone understands clearly that a new insurance giant is about to emerge.

It may not be impossible to achieve insurance premiums of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions every year in the future. In the end, the Yuqing government has made a lot of money, picking up a large company that pays hundreds of millions or even billions of taxes out of thin air.

Other cities are also jealous and try every means to win it over, especially Magic City, Pengcheng, Rongcheng and Xingcheng, which have the greatest hope of taking it into their arms.

As for Qingyun New Energy, it is a new company jointly established by Qingyun Group, BYD and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. From the day it was established, it has been included in the list of national special subsidies.

Relying on Qingyun Power Technology, Times New Energy and BYD, three high-tech companies, the future is promising, but no one knows how big the scale can be yet.

Judging from the degree of importance the country attaches to new energy strategies and carbon neutrality policies, it is not difficult to see that the future is very likely to be a new track with a trillion-dollar scale.

The government has always wanted to support a few core industry giants, but due to its inherent limitations, those who have some ambitions are attracted to eastern Guangdong, and the only ones that can barely be considered are Lens Technology and Sany.

There are only a few companies like Qingyun that have come to them actively, offering huge resources to exchange. Out of its own interests, the government must of course make some moves to attract them to settle down.

Without hesitation, he said, "It would be great if Qingyun headquarters could be moved back."

Zhou Shuji smiled and shook his head, "That's probably not possible. We can't even get through to the Magic City. Even if Director Li wants to do this, he can't do it.

Being able to take over the insurance business and new energy business is a great achievement, as can be seen from the fact that they have explored Times New Energy and invested US$5 million in Ningde.

This fellow from our hometown is a man of character, and he may have a chance of success."

Xingcheng has benefited a lot from the industrial transfer in Qingyun. It not only successfully intercepted Feicheng's electric vehicle industry chain, but also doubled the scale of Xingcheng Yida.

They also took the opportunity to build a new energy industrial park and a scientific research system, but compared with major coastal cities and Feicheng, Chengdu did not get much.

In particular, there have been recent reports that Qingyun is working with BOE to build a second 6.5-generation production line in Chengdu dedicated to smartphones and tablets, with an investment of more than 400 billion yuan.

The production line in Feicheng has not yet started production, but there are rumors that a new production base is being selected, and Shenzhou Electronics is also preparing to add production lines in Feicheng and Jiangcheng.

All signs indicate that Qingyun is transforming the excess profits earned in the international financial market into real investments to improve its industrial chain layout across the country.

If Xingcheng wants to catch up and even snatch competitive resources from surrounding cities in the future, it will have to find another way.

Asking the China Railway Corporation to change the route and smoothly build the high-speed railway station to Mr. Li's doorstep would be a very good exchange condition. Can a person live a life of purity and indifference to family affection?
Li Zehua listened attentively to the murmurs of several big men, feeling quite amused and helpless. If possible, he also wanted to bring changes to his hometown. Who knows, there might be a strong record of it in the local chronicles or family tree.

To this day, they are still arguing over whether to settle in Jinling or Gusu. Although Yangcheng was competing for it, when they saw there was no hope, they immediately stepped forward to help Pengcheng compete.

No matter how you look at it, it's not Jiangcheng's turn. There are no ready-made supporting industries in the surrounding areas, and everything has to start from scratch.

Li Zehua didn't know how to respond proactively. Fortunately, no unified opinion had been reached. Zhou Shuji simply instructed someone to consult the China Railway Corporation about the feasibility of changing the route.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the most important thing is to keep Qingyun.

"Mr. Li, regarding the long-term planning of the new energy industrial park, the city has some immature suggestions. Do you have time to sit down and talk about it?"

The Xingcheng prefect seized the opportunity and came up to ask. Li Zehua took out his notebook to record his work schedule and said, "Tonight, I have to accompany Zhou Shuji to inspect the poverty-stricken areas tomorrow morning.

You also know that according to the above policy, the group has prepared 1 billion yuan of funds specifically for local poverty alleviation work..."

Poverty alleviation is a mission.

However, there will be no loss, because no matter how much money the group spends, it will eventually be returned in the form of subsidies or tax exemptions (investment needs to be expanded in the future, and the excess amount will be exempted).

Specifically for Li Zehua, he can enjoy extra care. For example, during the election of the Federation of Industry and Commerce this time, the higher-ups specifically said that the deputy position is too conspicuous, so he was first arranged to be a regular position.

It would be a natural progression for him to join Minsheng Group as vice chairman, and then take charge of the entire group according to the number of shares he holds.

The governor of Xingcheng did not take it seriously. He inspected Yida Plaza and New Energy Industrial Park in the morning. His main purpose was to introduce their advantages to Qingyun Group.

Being able to talk to Xingcheng alone in the evening is a great honor.

Thinking of this, the prefect smiled and said, “I’ll send someone to pick you up that night. Also, if it’s about the Railway Corporation changing the route and building a station, don’t worry, Mr. Li. Xingcheng is willing to work with Baoqing Yamen.

If you make reasonable suggestions to the higher authorities, even if it means that the construction funds exceed the plan, Xingcheng is willing to bear part of it. "

"That's very polite."

Li Zehua didn't know what to say, but since his hometown would benefit from it, he couldn't refuse openly. After all, everyone wants to leave a name in their heart, and who can resist the temptation of publishing a local chronicle?

At this point, things had basically reached a historical fork, and everyone tacitly agreed not to bring it up further. Li Zehua was playing dumb, and the others were happy to cooperate.

Anyway, the thing was done, so it was natural to ask Qingyun for projects. Li Zehua did not refuse. The group itself would increase its investment in the four provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Anhui.

Make some minor adjustments to the projects without affecting the overall strategy.

"It's not impossible to build a high-speed rail station right in front of my house, but they shouldn't tear down my house, right?"

He thought that he should find some time to go back. His second brother came back from a trip to the northwest and said that the local government had specially approved dozens of acres of commercial land for the construction of a resort hotel.

It was said that it was for the group's use, but in fact the implication was obvious that it was for him to renovate his old home.

Looking around the world, this kind of thing is very common. Haven’t you seen many billionaires who have built manors in their hometowns in the name of businesses such as hotels, with towering walls?

Once the door is closed, it is like two completely different worlds from the outside world. You can do whatever you want. (End of this chapter)
