Jiang Hongyuan pondered for a moment and said: "In my opinion, it is best to set up its headquarters in Baishan City, because it is not only the capital city of the Northern Province, but also located in the center of Northeast Asia, which is an important hub of the first Eurasian land bridge and air corridor, and is known as the Pearl of the North. In the future, the country will also establish the Northeast Asia Free Trade Area, which has great development potential and should be an ideal place. ”

Looking at Jiang Hongyuan's eloquent appearance, Ling Zikai nodded and said, "I agree to put the headquarters in Baishan City!"

In addition to the advantages that Brother Jiang just mentioned, there is another reason, that is, Baishan City is not very far from the forest farm, and it takes more than two hours to drive, so it is convenient for everyone to go back and forth. Moreover, our beauty cream production plant is also in Baishan. In the future, some products of other projects can be built there. In this way, Yunhai Forest Farm is a pure raw material base, which is also in line with the company's development plan.

What do you think?"

Since Ling Zikai also agreed to build the headquarters in Baishan City, other people naturally would not object. Especially people like Zhang Hao, Zhao Ya, and Lin Xing'an, whose homes are in Baishan, are even more happy.

Just when everyone unanimously agreed, a discordant voice came: "Actually, it is not the best choice to set up headquarters in Baishan City!"

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that the person who spoke was Duan Hua, who had just been appointed deputy general manager.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, Duan Hua just wanted to stand up and speak, but saw that Ling Zikai had already pressed his hand at him and said, "Mr. Duan, you don't have to stand up, just sit there and talk!"

Duan Hua cleared his throat and said, "As far as I know, there seems to be a city in the interior with a hierarchical ranking list, which is divided into one, two, three, four, five, and five levels.

Among them, the four major metropolises of 'Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen' are listed as first-tier cities.

Second-tier cities refer to cities that have a certain economic foundation, relatively strong business activity, and have a certain attraction to large companies, big brands and outstanding talents. Most of these cities are provincial capitals, coastal open cities, and economically developed prefecture-level cities in the central and eastern regions.

If my information is correct, although Baishan City is included in the list of second-tier cities, it is ranked at the bottom of the list.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to squeeze into the second-tier cities, after all, there are several provincial capitals that are included in the list of third-tier cities.

As for the ranking of the third- and fourth-tier cities, I won't go into detail because it has nothing to do with the problem I want to explain.

Coincidentally, some people also made a ranking of cities around the world, which were also divided into four grades: one, two, three, four. Each grade is divided into four grades: one, two, three, four.

Among them, there are only two cities listed as first-tier in the first tier, namely London and New York, which are known as everyone else.

The second-tier cities are Singapore, Hong Kong Island, Paris, Jinghua, Tokyo, Dubai and Shanghai.

The third-tier cities are Sydney, São Paulo, Milan, Chicago, Mexico City, Mumbai, Moscow, Frankfurt, Madrid, Warsaw, Johannesburg, Toronto, Seoul, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Amsterdam, Brussels, Los Angeles.

Dublin, Melbourne, Washington, New Delhi, Bangkok, Zurich, Vienna, Taipei, Buenos Aires, Stockholm, San Francisco, Cantonese, Manila, Bogota, Luxembourg, Riyadh, Santiago, Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Lisbon and other cities are in the fourth tier.

I don't know if you have noticed that there are a total of 48 cities in the first tier, of which there are three inland cities in China, namely Jinghua, Shanghai, and Yuezhou.

Of course, in a sense, Hong Kong Island can also be regarded as a Chinese city, and it is also ranked fourth in the overall list. ”

After saying this for so long, Duan Hua felt a little dry in his mouth, so he stopped, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of water.

Everyone knows the ranking of first, second and third-tier cities in China, but it is the first time I have heard the ranking of world cities, and I feel that it is a little new. Therefore, although Duan Hua's speech just now was a little excessive, he did not feel bored. I just don't know what he said it for.

Seemingly aware of the doubts in everyone's hearts, Duan Hua took a few sips of tea and continued: "Everyone may think it is a little strange, why did I talk about this city's ranking. In fact, the reason why I want to say this is similar to what Mr. Jiang said before.

Since our goal is to build an international commercial aircraft carrier, we must not leave our headquarters in a corner, and we must look at the world.

Baishan City may still be well-known in China, but how many people know its name on the international stage?

To put it bluntly, even I, before I came to the Northern Province, had never heard of such a place as Baishan in the world, and I thought it was a small mountain village hiding in a mountain lump!

In fact, don't talk about Baishan, even if it is known as the 'Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen' that everyone in the inland knows, how many people in the world know their names?

That's why I would say that it's not a good choice to have your headquarters in Hakusan City!"

Seeing that Duan Hua had degraded Baishan City to a "small mountain village", everyone felt a little unconvinced.

The son does not think the mother is ugly, and the rich do not think the family is poor.

The vast majority of the people present had grown up on this land, so naturally they couldn't hear anyone belittle their hometown.

A few people couldn't help but want to stand up and refute, but they were all secretly stopped by Ling Zikai, and then said quietly: "Listening to Vice President Duan's meaning, only by setting up the headquarters in Jinghua or Shanghai will it be beneficial to the development of the company?"

Duan Hua smiled and said, "In my opinion, even Jinghua and Shanghai are not the best places to choose!"

"In your opinion, where should we have our headquarters? Could it be London or New York?"

Duan Hua shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Hong Kong Island is the most ideal place!"

Ling Zikai's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't speak, he just looked at Duan Hua with his eyes, obviously wanting to hear him come up with a reasonable explanation.

"For Hong Kong Island, I think everyone is familiar with it, so I don't need to say anything about it. There are two reasons why I say it's the best place:

First, of course, it has its influence in the international arena. In addition to being the world's third-largest financial center, it is also an important international trade and shipping center. In the future, our company's products can be sent from Hong Kong Island and can radiate to any place in the world without any obstacles.

This is unmatched by any city in the interior!"

For this statement, not only Ling Zikai, but also He Wandong and his wife, Jiang Hongyuan, Lin Xingan and others also have some recognition.

Because of political factors, it is true that some domestic trade is unjustly restricted at the international level.

As an international free trade port, Hong Kong Island has obvious advantages in this regard.
