475 Brother is a principled person
Qionglan was really poor in 1984. The total fiscal revenue of the entire island in one year was less than 200 million yuan.
It’s better to have the annual profits of Gu Ao’s own business.
No wonder when the country wanted to open the second batch of development zones, it could only rely on preferential tariff policies and local self-reliance.
Gu Ao was protected by local people, and it seemed very difficult along the way.
Not to mention going to the island, just driving to the Zhanzhou Peninsula from a developed area in eastern Guangdong, Gu Ao and his team had military troops and police cars leading the way. In this way, they encountered several powerful figures in places that blocked the road and sold food.
People don’t know how to deal fares and road bullies are. Because of the crackdown last year, they have been restrained and upgraded, just talking about tire repair and food selling. They kindly tell you that there is no place to eat for hundreds of kilometers in front of them, and kindly advise you to park your car for a meal. A boxed lunch is only conscientiously charged a few dollars.
If the military vehicles that had not opened the tarp and broke the rear had not lifted the tarp, showed the food and food carried on the car, and told the hospitality of the Yanan People's Convoy that there was no shortage of food, I'm afraid those people would not want to disperse.
However, some of Gu Ao's subordinates who had only worked in the capital and had never been to remote places before, so they were not so calm.
Those guys who are not afraid to speculate on the grassroots level with malicious intentions actually think that "the real reason for the dissipation of hospitality in Yanan people is not the food box exposed under the military tarpaulin, but the anti-aircraft machine guns that are accidentally exposed at the same time."
Of course, Comrade Gu Ao would never think so. He insisted that it was the credit for the effect of food education.
The group arrived in Qionglan without any danger.
"It seems that the industrial environment in this place is still not good. I can only develop a re-export first, and the factory will still be set up in the special zone."
Looking at the desolate, ignorant and prey on the weak, Gu Ao sighed and gave the place a basis for judgment.
He is here to open a factory, not to do infrastructure construction. At best, opening an office in the central port area of Haixian County and being responsible for import and export bonded matters in the future is very worthy of the place.
However, people in the local area do not think so.
As soon as Gu Ao arrived, he received entertainment from leaders at all levels in the administrative region, including cold seats that were inconvenient to name.
Before 1984, Qionglan was a regional administrative office, and the chief was called a commissioner. During the transition period of the 84 to 87, the special zone was mentioned from the prefecture level to the deputy province. Therefore, the regional administrative office was also renamed the administrative district, and the top leader changed from the specialist to the seat. After 88, it became a province. So now it is in the transition period.
Between the toss and chats, various remarks and attempts are intertwined.
"Director Gu must strongly support local development. If you are willing to invest in the New Special Zone, we will definitely give the best preferential conditions. How much tax exemption is available in Shenzhen Stock Exchange? We will still be exempted from the amount of land given in Shenzhen Stock Exchange for free. We will double the amount of free land.
All other benefits that can be obtained from local areas will be added to 20%... Not only Huaxing Communications from the Ministry of Electronics Industry, but other businesses can also help build bridges."
Gu Ao was very sober and always adhered to the principle: "Don't make fun of me, leaders. We are now just the director of the preparatory committee of a subsidiary company. The businesses you mentioned now have nothing to do with me. I can only manage the resources of the Ministry of Electronics Industry and use them on the edge.
Of course, if you want to meet more foreign friends, I will help you build a bridge and introduce it to you. It is not illegal. I will not know anything you talk about."
Gu Ao is still the director of the preparatory committee of the deputy department. The highest local area in Qionglan can have a deputy province. It is necessary for Gu Ao to call the other party's leader.
Leng Zhuxi smiled and said, "Even if it is just Huaxing Communications, why not set up a factory in Haixian? Only one office for re-export of imported raw materials is really for local construction...
Director Gu, I still said that as long as your electronics factory is here, my support will definitely be greater than that of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Even if you can't wait for three links and one level, I will transfer the best ready-made house in the center of Haixian County to you and let the idle labor of the navy help you to build roads and special berths, that's not a problem."
Gu Ao: "I am very grateful for the good intentions of the leader. However, there are some things that cannot be forced to come - you may not know that the materials that Huaxing Communications will mainly import from the island bonded in the next few years are all CPU-like.
If we want to carry out subsequent production and processing, we need to invest in an SMT patch cable factory. If we pursue international advanced level, buy Japan's most advanced automatic patch cable, invest in hardware equipment in a factory, and transform dust-free and constant temperature and humidity, it will often cost more than one billion yuan.
The ministry has no money at the moment, and relying on the policy re-export of Huaxing Communications, I can't make so much start-up capital. If I go to Shenzhen Stock Exchange, I can still find a loan from the Special Administrative Region Development Bank. If I come to Qionglan, I believe there is not so much start-up capital on the island that can be exchanged for foreign exchange.
For the benefit of the Ministry, it is impossible for me to put the most capital-intensive SMT into the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but I will transfer one more way to set up the assembly line that is not much spent on subsequent equipment to Qionglan. This is a waste of national transportation resources and increases the risk of materials being taxed."
When I heard that according to the latest technical standards, the largest SMT patch factory in China was built, and the initial investment was more than one billion, so the local leaders were of course a little surprised.
Last year, the island's fiscal revenue was less than 200 million yuan. The banks and credit cooperatives under local jurisdiction could be transferred by government orders at most one or two times more money.
Even if you want to grab this project, it is impossible to suppress all the three-year finances and loans on the island to one project. Even if you want to suppress it, you will not be able to overdraw these three years.
I can only let go. Who made Gu Ao’s project so technically and capital-intensive?
If Gu Ao’s money is used to build a house and buy land, then the place can be paid for it with great success, but Gu Ao’s money is to buy production line equipment for Japan, so it will not be able to be changed from this place.
A deputy local leader who was unwilling to be named was quite active and unwilling to give up his worries for the top leader, so he asked: "Director Gu, if it really starts, it will cost more than one billion equipment funds. Can the Shenzhen Stock Exchange really take out?"
Gu Ao smiled bitterly: "If you go to Shenzhen Stock Exchange, you won't have to pay that much money - according to the department's plan, Huaxing Communications' production scale was not large in the first two years. Can we first find excellent private enterprises with SMT experience and production capacity in Shenzhen Stock Exchange, place orders for them and let them produce these core technical links?
When Huaxing Communications makes money selling pagers and paging base stations, it will be better to slowly develop its own SMT factory."
Well, when it comes to this point, there is absolutely no solution.
At the same time, those who are more familiar with the market already know that what Gu Ao said is "outsourced companies" are Hanle Electronics and Foxconn, etc.
The first day of the welcoming banquet ended in a plain and undercurrent.
The next day, Gu Ao's people began to go through various procedures in Hai County, find places, customize signs, and prepare to list bonded electronic materials import and export offices.
In the local area, there are still people who keep asking Gu Ao to drink, but the scale of the banquet is getting smaller and smaller. From the beginning, when they invite everyone to Gu Ao and others later, they can only ask Gu Ao and others to separate the situation.
But Gu Ao paid great attention to protecting himself and must let Ren Zhengyi and Vice President Fei attend the banquet to prove his innocence.
Finally, another representative of the local area who was inconvenient to name, seized the opportunity to separate Gu Ao and Vice President Fei at a banquet, and then went straight to the showdown:
"Director Gu, if you have concerns about start-up capital, why not expand the scope of bonded import and export means of production? How large can you have for only electronic materials? Are you interested? Do something else together? It is guaranteed to be a means of production, not a luxury consumer product. Just nod to set up a factory in Haixian County, and you will cooperate with you in the local area. And you are different from others, you have a lot of foreign exchange at your hands..."
Gu Ao immediately refused: "___, please be careful! If you have inquired, you should know that before I went abroad to study for a graduate degree, Gu always adhered to the view that "a bonded area should be set up instead of a duty-free island to develop a technology industry that requires imported high-tech components and incoming materials processing."
Although I was just a director at that time, I was in a low position and did not dare to forget my worries about the country. Later, by chance, I studied for several years, but since the leaders now trusted me and let me be the director of the preparatory committee for several months, I dared not do my best.
I still think so now.___, although you are all good people with high moral character, they are just expanding their operations for the start-up capital of regional construction. But I have seen so many people in the United States that I can't hold back after going far away. Therefore, the policy obtained by Huaxing Communications is to import electronic materials with bonded taxes. I can only take advantage of this legal policy in one day, and I will not take a look at the others."
Gu Ao knew that if he let go today, Huaxing Communications would definitely be involved in buying imported cars in the future, so he must be blocked.
While refusing, he called Vice President Fei, and reiterated it without any action. He also asked the secretary to make minutes of the meeting - of course, he did not write the two sentences that others had just won him over in private, after all, it was not easy to completely break up.
The other party was bored and stopped insisting.
A week later, Gu Ao and his party left Qionglan.
Before leaving, he did not forget to have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. If he could help the local area, he would symbolically help, but he would never violate the principle. He applied the favor and power of carrots and sticks to the extreme.
It is said that Director Wang, who had just taken office in Haixian Cannery Factory, received Gu Ao's guidance at a banquet where the administrative district leaders asked him to treat Gu Ao and his party.
Gu Ao casually said that Qionglan's freshly squeezed coconut juice tastes good. If the Haixian Cannery Factory, which has been losing money for many years, can develop and transfer coconut juice, he can say hello to his friends in the industry and use the Red Bull Group's shipping channels to help sell goods and try sales.
In other words, all domestic dealers who want to purchase Red Bull must try to purchase several boxes of coconut juice and put them there to sell. Because it is just a trial sale, there will be no charge for local canned factories to channel fees. If the trial sale results are not good and the exposure rate is still not enough, then I will no longer help.
In the whole matter, Gu Ao was completely kind to do good deeds and had no personal benefit.
After hearing Gu Ao's statement, Director Wang thanked him for his reforms when he returned, and made every effort to tackle new special products and cut off general products that were not competitive.
Gu Ao's attitude also changed the attitude of some people in the local area who had previously had opinions about Gu Ao because of Gu Ao's rejection.
"Director Gu is not a person who is unkind and refuses to help local people. He just has principles. It's really rare."
This attitude of clear public and private affairs is destined to be contrasted by the development trajectory of some people in the future, proving Gu Ao's strength in principle.
