Chapter 482 Guiding Everyone, Personally Stepping In
Three days later, Qi Tongwei returned to the hotel and saw everyone looking dejected and without any fighting spirit.
Li Haoxuan and Fan Yuqi, in particular, looked utterly hopeless.
"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Let's all share how things are going!"
Qi Tongwei called everyone together for a meeting.
"County Chief Qi, we've visited many companies over the past three days, but we haven't even been able to get through the gates of many of them, let alone meet with the person in charge..."
Li Haoxuan explained his situation.
"We're the same here..."
Fan Yuqi and Zhan Chengwu also explained the situation on their side.
"continue!"
Qi Tongwei asked the others to tell him about their situation.
"My side..."
The others then took turns explaining their own situations.
In Xichun County, they are leaders and cadres, and people from enterprises treat them very politely.
But in Shenzhen, businesses completely ignore them.
Why can't you even get through the main gate?
Because a typical plot of land there costs tens of millions of yuan, while the land here costs 100-150 million yuan per mu.
With the factory buildings and equipment included, the assets amounted to tens of millions.
Even small businesses have assets worth several million or tens of millions.
In our county, apart from a few county-owned enterprises, how many enterprises have assets of several million or even tens of millions?
This is still the case now.
In the past, these small businesses would have been considered large enterprises in our county.
As for companies with assets of tens of millions, they are already considered large companies in our province.
But here it's just an ordinary company.
As for medium-sized and large enterprises with assets of hundreds of millions, needless to say, they are key enterprises in our province.
You are nothing in their eyes, so naturally they won't easily pay attention to you.
Qi Tongwei explained to everyone why they had encountered setbacks.
Because the highest-ranking among them is only a section chief, and here they are just heads of departments under the subdistrict office.
Businesses usually handle their affairs at the district or city level, so they definitely won't bother with them.
"Secondly, it's because you haven't changed your mindset."
In your minds, you are leaders and cadres, and you should be warmly received and treated as honored guests when you visit enterprises.
But the truth is that even the security guards don't really pay attention to you, let alone the company's management.
This will leave you completely dumbfounded.
The reason why Shenzhen has developed so rapidly is not only because it was one of the first cities to carry out reforms and open up, but also because it is close to Hong Kong, has a good natural environment, and is near the sea.
Rather, it's because they changed their mindset early on, implemented the idea of serving the people, and their leaders truly regarded themselves as public servants.
They are very efficient and don't often cause trouble for businesses.
Only when you change your mindset and get rid of your bureaucratic airs will people even give you a second glance.
We must truly transform ourselves into public servants and enhance our service awareness in order to better attract investment.
Qi Tongwei continued his analysis.
"Actually, it's quite normal for other companies to ignore you. This is the forefront of reform and opening up in the country, and the fastest developing place in the country."
Without a certain level of authority, people simply won't pay attention to you, and you'll need the help of the local government in Shenzhen.
The reason my last visit went smoothly was because Mr. Cai Chenggong is from my hometown, and I asked him to help me get an introduction.
So I didn't bother the local government.
This time, I didn't bother the local government either.
The point is to give you a good lesson, to let you know that attracting investment is not easy.
Qi Tongwei continued.
"Only by experiencing setbacks can you improve your abilities and grow."
Only through repeated setbacks and unwavering perseverance can one achieve success.
Qi Tongwei said.
No one is born with all kinds of abilities; they are all accumulated gradually through continuous learning, practice, and training.
"Let me tell you about our strategies for attracting investment."
First, we need to understand the conditions of our county and be able to present them fluently.
Secondly, when choosing targets, start with small businesses.
Small businesses in Shenzhen are relatively weak, so they are naturally willing to invest in places with low-cost development opportunities.
Third, you must learn to leverage existing resources. When contacting businesses, be sure to state that you are from Xichun County and mention the names of the 43 companies that have invested in our county.
This makes it easier to persuade local businesses to invest in our county.
After all, there are already pioneers.
Fourth, I contacted several companies and informed them that I was also there, and that an exchange meeting would be held there in a few days, inviting them to attend.
Qi Tongwei briefly explained the strategy.
Finally, here are some points to note.
The conditions we offer are those stipulated in the county's previous policies; do not agree to conditions outside of those policies.
If we fail to deliver on our promises, it will have a significant impact on our county's investment promotion efforts.
This will affect the development of the industrial park, and thus the development of our county.
Qi Tongwei emphasized this point.
The policies offered by Xichun County are already the best they can offer, and there is no need to add anything more.
That would be too much for the county to afford.
Policies must be implemented; otherwise, they will affect corporate investment.
Of the 1.5 million yuan in tax revenue collected in May and June, 3000 million yuan was set aside for salaries and expenses, and 2000 million yuan was allocated to other work.
Of the remaining 1 million, Qi Tongwei instructed the Finance Bureau to allocate 5000 million to the Urban Investment Company as preliminary development and construction funds for the second batch of public buildings.
The second batch of public buildings includes one complete secondary school, one complete primary school, three kindergartens, and two farmers' markets.
It will be placed in another part of the new city, which will make it convenient to attract businesses to develop residential areas and commercial areas nearby.
Of the remaining 5000 million, 4000 million will be used to pay relocation subsidies for the 43 companies that were previously introduced to Pengcheng, and 1000 million will be used to build a three-star hotel.
Since the county is not building dormitories in the industrial park, the county plans to build a special community in the new city for employees who have moved from Pengcheng.
For schools for employees' children, the new school in the new town will be used.
As for the canteen, rent a few shops for them in the immigrant village, or compensate them in other ways.
Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei has instructed the Urban Construction Bureau to work with Shan'an Town to begin planning the town's urban development.
With such a large industrial park in Shan'an Town, the town's urban development must keep pace.
"Yes, County Chief Qi!"
Everyone nodded.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei began to personally go out to attract investment, as relying solely on Li Haoxuan, Fan Yuqi, and Zhan Chengwu would not be enough.
That would have a very bad outcome.
Only if he personally intervenes will the outcome be satisfactory.
Qi Tongwei first visited 43 companies that had invested in Xichun County to check on the progress of their equipment relocation.
Invite them to attend the exchange meeting in a few days and ask them to help promote it.
Then we visited companies that had previously attended the exchange meeting. We were already familiar with these companies, which made communication easier.
Qi Tongwei invited them to a few days ago for an exchange meeting and asked them to help with the publicity.
He already has some reputation in Shenzhen, which makes it easy for companies to attend exchange meetings and listen to his analysis of problems.
