On August 18, 2008, in the midst of the jubilation of the whole country, the Olympic Games opened in China.

Guanshan, with a population of more than 400,000, was also immersed in a sea of joy at this time.

The main streets are lined with bunting and festive slogans.

In addition to the slogans celebrating the Olympic Games, there are many celebratory slogans celebrating the withdrawal of Guanshan from the town and the establishment of the city.

The matter of Guanshan's withdrawal from the town and the establishment of a city was already on the agenda three years ago.

At that time, Guanshan already had a population of nearly 400,000, and it was increasing at a rate of 30,000 or 40,000 every year.

At this time, the population of Gucheng County not only did not grow, but gradually lost.

If Guanshan is not counted, Gucheng County currently has less than 150,000 urban and rural population.

Except for the towns of Guanshan and Sainiu in the north, the total economic output of Gucheng and other towns is less than 30% of the total of Gucheng County.

Guanshan alone accounts for 56% of the GDP of the entire Gucheng County.

Whether in terms of population, economy, culture, transportation and other aspects, Guanshan has become the center of Gucheng County.

However, the ancient city is the county seat, which inevitably leads to contradictions and disputes between Guanshan and Gucheng County.

Guanshan, a behemoth, must be restricted and fetters by Gucheng County in all aspects such as examination and approval authority and development planning. In many ways, it has affected the healthy development of Guanshan.

For example, people are willing to invest in Guanshan.

Because of the convenient transportation and logistics, there is a huge local market, high administrative efficiency, thoughtful service in the town, convenient financing, advanced technology and developed market.

However, in order to snatch investment and let businessmen from other places invest in Gucheng and other towns and towns, Gucheng County stuck the neck of foreign businessmen who came to Guanshan and made it difficult for them in the examination and approval procedures.

Because of this situation, many investors have been forced away.

Not only has it had a bad impact on the reputation of the ancient city, but it has also had a very bad impact on the reputation of Green River and Andong.

There was a compromise plan, which was to relocate the Gucheng County Office to Guanshan, and then change the Gucheng County to a county-level city.

However, the relocation involved the vital interests of the county cadres, so it was firmly opposed.

At this time, Guo Weibing had already served as a high-ranking official, and finally he put forward a plan.

Because the Guanshan-Sainiu-estuary has formed a corridor, this corridor has actually become a city because of the large number of businesses and residents.

Simply strip out the six towns of Guanshan, Sainiu, Tongyang, Xinhe, Huwa, and the estuary of Caohe in the ancient city, and combine them to form a prefecture-level city.

Together, these six towns have a population of more than 700,000, which is actually more than the urban population of Lujiang City, and almost the same as the population of Xishui City.

In terms of economic strength, the strength of this city has surpassed that of the other five cities in the province, ranking tenth among the fifteen prefecture-level cities in Andong.

Guanshan has a sound manufacturing industry structure and a number of large-scale enterprises with international advanced level, and has strong economic competitiveness.

Guanshan's emerging industry e-commerce, with the Hucheng Group Entrepreneurship Center as the core and Hekou and Tongyang as the two wings, has more than 4,000 e-commerce enterprises.

The number of e-commerce is still growing, the scale of the economy is still expanding, and the momentum of development is fierce. It has become a new economic growth point in Guanshan.

Guo Weibing's plan was supported by the province and the state and became the final plan.

The final result was the establishment of Guanshan City, a city-level city.

The city government is located in Guanshan, and the first mayor is Li Qianxun, deputy mayor of Xishui City.

Li Qianxun was an important founder of the Guanshan-Hekou Economic Corridor, and later the biggest promoter of the Hekou e-commerce mall.

It can be said that she participated in the whole process of the construction of the Guanshan-Hekou Economic Corridor.

With her as the mayor of Guanshan, it can be said that everyone expects it, and no one is unconvinced.

Li Hucheng's classmate Tian Guolong, because of his outstanding political achievements, is now the mayor of Lujiang City after returning from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Yu Danping, the former mayor of Lujiang, was transferred to the mayor of Xishui City this year.

In the entire process of withdrawing the town and building the city, Li Hucheng basically did not participate.

After returning from Misha County on the Tibetan Plateau seven years ago, he visited Misha County once a year, and really regarded it as his second home.

Every year during the winter and summer vacations, Li Hucheng will take his son Li Ping to travel around the world.

The rest of the time, he basically stayed in Guanshan and took care of the business of the Hucheng Group.

The current business of Hucheng Group mainly has several sectors.

The first is the standard parts industrial park and the standard parts mall. At present, there are more than 1,200 standard parts enterprises in Guanshan City.

In terms of number, it has almost halved from the 2,300 at its peak, but its output value has tripled to more than 40 billion yuan per year.

This is due to mergers and industrial upgrading.

At present, Guanshan's standard parts industry, whether it is production or sales, is the world's first, and its products are sold to more than 120 countries and regions in the world.

The second is the manufacturing sector, including automobiles, shield machines, construction machinery, water supply equipment, water treatment equipment and so on.

Among them, the automobile manufacturing industry, in addition to the production of tankers, pump trucks, fire trucks, ambulances and other special vehicles, also produces 200,000 pickup trucks every year.

The third is the construction business segment, which currently has three wholly-owned subsidiaries of Denim Construction Group.

In addition to the real estate development company, there is also a road engineering company that undertakes the construction of roads, railways and bridges.

Another overseas engineering contracting company is currently engaged in oil field construction in the Middle East.

The fourth business segment is the clothing industry.

Hucheng clothing and Yingshanhong clothing currently have more than 8,000 employees.

In addition to continuing to produce export clothing, Yingshanhong clothing has become a well-known brand in China, producing 21 varieties of men's clothing, women's clothing and down jackets.

The fifth business sector is the cultural tourism industry, which mainly includes Hulugou Scenic Area, Yingshanhong Art Troupe, and Guanshan Travel Agency.

The sixth business segment is the housing rental industry.

At present, there are more than 700 residences, more than 60 shops and two office buildings under the name of Hucheng Group.

Just collecting rent every year is a considerable amount of income.

In addition, there are some enterprises such as transportation companies, parts city of Hekou Dianzi, etc. Compared with several other major business segments, although the benefits of these companies are not bad, but the scale is not large.

As for the specialty city, it is still operated by the Haide Group, and Li Hucheng collects rent.

It's just that the rent of 8 million per year is insignificant in the annual profit of tens of billions of Hucheng Group.

These are all industries on the bright side of Hucheng Group.

The secret industry is only known to a few people at the top of the group.

The largest of these is the stake in the Caliphate.

The current Khalifa is already the largest e-commerce company in the world. It has already been listed, with a market value of more than 400 billion yuan.

Although the shares have been diluted after multiple rounds of financing, Li Hucheng still holds 9.6% of Khalif's shares, with a market value of more than 40 billion yuan. 、

As for the entrepreneurship center, it has now become an incubator, focusing on cultivating e-commerce, and then allowing them to start their own businesses and provide financial support.

Hucheng Group only collects house rent, which is actually similar to a public welfare enterprise.

None of the enterprises of Hucheng Group are listed companies.

It's not that it can't be listed, in fact, many times before, the county and the city wanted Li Hucheng to be listed, but he refused.

In Li Hucheng's view, the purpose of listing is nothing more than to raise funds.

But I have never been short of money, so why bother going public?

After listing, it becomes a public enterprise, and it must be responsible for capital and shareholders.

In order to make financial statements look good, it is necessary to pursue short-term profits. This is not conducive to the implementation of the company's strategy and long-term interests.

If you have that money to distribute to shareholders you don't know, it's better to take out some money and shares and give it to your employees. Tie the fate of employees to the company, and they will take the initiative to protect the interests of the company and work hard for the company.
