After the New Year, the headquarters of Jiagu was basically determined. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net

The city of An in the next neighboring province of Jiangnan won the favor of Jia Valley.

"In the first round of selection, I couldn't have imagined that Jiagu headquarters would eventually choose to land in Anshi. Wang Yuye said to Qi Zheng.

Qi Zhengluo said meaningfully, "No, under the attack of big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the inconspicuous Anshi was almost eliminated in the first round, if it weren't for my discernment......"

In China, most ambitious entrepreneurs and managers can choose from a few second-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Chang'an and Jinling in addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

The top brass of Kagaya had the same idea at first.

The more I go out, the more I look at the world, the more I feel that Nankai City and even Min Province are "small".

If it's a roc bird, it won't spread its wings in just one corner of the sky, and if it's a real dragon, it won't just lurk in a deep pool.

Qi Zheng knew that sooner or later he and Jiagu Group would have to come out, set up headquarters according to the actual development needs, and at the same time dilute the regionality, not to be Nankai Jiagu, not to be Minsheng Youdao, but to be China Jiagu.

The mountainous and hilly nature of Minxian Province is a major disadvantage in terms of transportation, and neither the economic environment nor the human environment is suitable for the headquarters of large enterprises, especially human resources. Last year, out of the needs of development, Jiagu carried out a large-scale recruitment, as a result, the disadvantages of human resources in Min Province were undoubtedly exposed, and outstanding talents either went north to the Yangtze River Delta or south to the Pearl River Delta, and the province could not retain them at all.

But are the first-tier cities really good?

In China, the headquarters of most of the world's top 500 companies are located in large cities, of which half are headquartered in the capital. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net

Unlike in the United States, many large companies have a soft spot for small towns when choosing their headquarters. Wal-Mart is headquartered in Bentonville, a small city of less than 30,000 people, Warren Buffett's investment empire is headquartered in an inland town, and Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond and Mobil Oil is headquartered in Irvine -- both of which are so small that they have hardly heard of them.

Of course, there are also differences in national conditions.

After years of urbanization, the difference between urban and rural infrastructure in the United States is not large, and many of the conditions that can be met in large cities can also be met in small towns. And more importantly, small towns are basically insulated from the "big city disease", and the beautiful natural environment that big cities lack can be seen everywhere in small towns.

With the advent of the information age, the gap between urban and rural areas has been further narrowed, and it is possible to "win a decisive victory thousands of miles before operating a computer" without leaving home.

However, in China, resources such as high-quality education and medical care are mostly concentrated in some large cities. Therefore, the cost of living in big cities is so high and the pressure of life is so great, everyone scolds and scolds, but I don't see a few people who really escape from "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" - it's not that they don't want to escape, but they really have nowhere to escape.

In small places in China, the problem of children going to school cannot be solved when they are young, and the problem of medical care cannot be solved for the elderly, who do you think would want to work in small places?

Pucheng County, where Jiagu is currently located, and even Nankai City is an out-and-out small place.

But in the north, Guangzhou, and deep, the water is too deep, and 369 and so on make people uncomfortable.

Qi Zheng prefers that the location of Jiagu's headquarters can be a small city, but it must have all kinds of conveniences brought by modern technology, and can be integrated into the natural environment to the greatest extent, with green grass and green trees, flowers and birds flying, an idyllic scene; if you add the deep local people, cheap real estate, and the big city is within an hour or two of the drive, then there is nothing else to want.

Of course, it's beautiful to think about, but if there is a place like this, it is simply heaven.

Until Anshi in Jiangnan Province came into the eyes of Qi Zheng.

......

Anshi can only be regarded as a third-tier city in China at most.

So is the city of Anshi a beautiful environment?

On the contrary, the current people of Anshi have a smoky sky above their heads, their noses breathe foul air, and their feet are on polluted land.

But Qi Zheng, who had traveled to Anshi in his previous life, knew that in less than ten years, Anshi had changed from one of the "top ten polluted cities in the province" to a national ecological livable city.

Therefore, Qi Zhengli overrode public opinion and included Anshi as one of the candidates for the headquarters station.

With an in-depth understanding, the top management of Jiagu realized the determination of Anshi's phoenix nirvana-style transformation, and also understood why Qi Zheng included it as one of the candidates.

Anshi is very rich in natural environment resources, at the end of the last century under the impact of the national wave of "no work, no wealth", Anshi is eager to develop, not willing to lag behind, and has also embarked on a road of industrial city.

Due to the constraints of factors such as industrial base and scientific and technological capabilities, Anshi has introduced most of the industries with heavy pollution and high energy consumption such as building materials, chemicals, printing and dyeing, although the effect is obvious, and it has won the plaque of "well-off" in one fell swoop.

However, high-intensity mining, resource consumption, and serious discharge projects have gradually turned the green mountains and green waters into white mountain gray water, and the clear streams have begun to become turbid.

By the beginning of this century, the city's pollution had reached a critical point, with tens of millions of tons of sewage directly discharged every year, causing the water quality to become inferior to Class V; the chimneys of towns and villages emitted red, yellow, and black smoke; and the excessive exploitation of forest and mineral resources caused serious soil erosion and frequent natural disasters......

The city of Ann has received a yellow card warning from the state for serious environmental damage.

The deafening alarm bell was like an empowerment, which calmed down the people of Anshi and began to examine their own development path.

After repeated discussions, the new decision-makers of Anshi have gradually become clear about the future development of Anshi, taking the road of ecological city, and improving the regional economy with ecology.

The decision-makers of An'an City made a painful decision to launch the "Blue Sky, Clear Water and Pure Land Silent Action" to make comprehensive treatment of polluting enterprises in the city, forcibly shut down more than 100 polluting enterprises, eliminate nearly 100 backward production lines, and regreen more than 200 mines......

The city has paid a heavy price for this, and the series of shutdown actions have brought fatal consequences to the local industry and economy, with the GD directly reduced by more than 2 billion yuan, and 13 of the fiscal revenue has been reduced to nothing, which is simply painful.

But it was precisely this determination to "cut two billion yuan in exchange for blue sky and clear water" that touched the hearts of Jiagu's senior management.

There are many local governments that have shouted the slogan of "ecological development", but it is rare for them to have the determination to take action like Anshi. After all, who wouldn't want to live and work in a place with verdant mountains, clear rivers and clean air?

And for modern corporate headquarters, transportation and communication are particularly important.

In this regard, Anshi also has a superior location advantage. Anshi is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, and Shanghai, Hangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou and other first- and second-tier cities are within two or three hours of traffic circle, which can become the "back garden" of the Yangtze River Delta city.

Anshi is also tackling environmental and ecological problems with an iron fist, while vigorously developing alternative industries.

Therefore, in the face of the Jiagu Group sent to the door for inspection, the eyes of the decision-makers in Anshi City were green.
