The second industrial zone in Shanghai is an investment of one million taels of silver, but the special county in Shanghai has contributed 800,000 taels of silver, and the finance of Songjiang Prefecture and Jiangnan Province share the remaining 200,000 taels of silver, and as for the central finance, not a dime has been paid!

That's eighty taels of silver, not ten thousand or twenty thousand!

You must know that most of the houses that are mainly agriculture in these years, even if they are the high-class houses in the land of fish and rice, the annual tax revenue is only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and this is still the high-class government, as for the low-class government, it is normal to have less than 100,000 taels of silver, such as the government in remote places in the southwest or northwest, the annual tax revenue is only tens of thousands of taels of silver at most.

Shanghai special county, the entire empire is quite special, basically can't find a second similar place, seriously, in fact, the Tang Empire's support for the Shanghai area, in fact, is a little bit of money invested in the early years, and then it was given a treaty port policy, and the rest are basically developed by themselves.

However, there are as many as 12 treaty ports opened by the empire today, not to mention overseas territories, but why other treaty ports cannot develop as quickly as Shanghai, this is naturally because the geographical and other advantages of other places are not as good as Shanghai.

Backed by a whole Zhili, Shanghai is still located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and is in the middle of the imperial coastline, with geographical and transportation advantages that are incomparable to other places.

Even Guangzhou, which was very strong in the early years, is now not as good as Shanghai.

Of course, this is also related to the flat development of Guangzhou, although the scale of the industrial zone in Guangzhou is also large, but many small and medium-sized enterprises are not actually in the industrial zone, not even in the city of Guangzhou, but in the surrounding areas, such as Foshan and other places, the entire Pearl River Delta region, in fact, there are factories.

It seems to be scattered, but to be honest, in terms of driving the local economy and making the people richer, Guangzhou is actually doing better.

On the other hand, Shanghai is concentrated in the industrial zone, which almost attracts the entire Songjiang Prefecture and even the industrial forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the siphon effect is too powerful.

So it also led to such a scene, Shanghai's ad hoc counties are very rich, but the other counties in Songjiang Prefecture next door are still ordinary agricultural counties, and there is basically no industry.

The counties under the Guangzhou Prefecture have developed more evenly.

This is because the measures taken by the two places to develop the local economy are not the same, and the results are also different.

Of course, even if the entire economic power of Guangzhou Prefecture is combined, it still cannot be compared with a special county in Shanghai, and Shanghai's advantages are too great.

A special county can invest 800,000 taels of silver to develop the second industrial zone, and this fund can be placed in other places, let alone a county, and it is impossible for those high-class governments, and even most provinces can't take it out.

The special county in Shanghai has money, and the money in the local treasury does not have to be handed over to the state treasury, but is used for the welfare of officials, and I am afraid that Jia Wenbai, the county magistrate of the special county in Shanghai, who has just taken office not long ago, will immediately have to go to prison.

With such a large surplus in the bank, it is better to invest directly in infrastructure construction, and it cannot earn interest.

The second industrial zone is also a product of this big background, which is strictly speaking, an expansion of the original Shanghai industrial zone, which is not far apart and covers a larger area.

The money invested by the government is mainly used to acquire land, balance land, build roads, build wharves, build factories and other infrastructure, and if these infrastructure facilities are done well, coupled with preferential tax policies and other advantages, there is no worry that no businessmen will invest in setting up factories.

People in Shanghai are engaged in industry, they are all experienced, as long as businessmen come to invest in the construction, it is basically a one-stop service.

Factories do not need businessmen to build, there are already good factories in the industrial zone, and the purchase of machinery and equipment is also simple.

It is also easy to recruit talents, Shanghai as the largest industrial and commercial gathering place in China, there are many various enterprises, and there are many technical talents who come to work here, and even the second government-run technical school in the empire is set up in Shanghai, no matter how bad you are, you can also dig the corners of other enterprises.

As long as you have money, plants, equipment, and talents can all be found here, and as an investor, you can even hire those professional managers to take care of everything.

In short, because of the development of industry and commerce in Shanghai, it is far less difficult to set up enterprises and factories here than in other places, and those capitalists only need to bring bank checks, and everything else can be found here.

Of course, in the end, whether to make money lying down or lose all your money depends on the situation.

There are certainly risks in doing business, although the overall policy is to support the development of industry and commerce, but you can't see the market situation clearly, and it is very common to lose all your money.

In recent years, people who have failed in business have often jumped off the Huangpu River in despair.

So even if the empire as a whole supports industrial development, what to do and how to do it is still very important!

When the Shanghai Second Industrial Zone was established, the old Shanghai Industrial Zone next door, now renamed the First Industrial Zone, a young man in a brocade robe, with a few servants into the office in the industrial zone, about half an hour later, he came out again.

By the time he came out, he already had several more documents in his hand that had just been stamped with a big seal, including business licenses, tax registration forms, etc., and all the formalities needed to open a company and build a factory in the empire.

A servant on the side, who was about fifty years old, wearing a robe, was quite decent: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation, I heard that the centralized certificate mode here before I came, which can greatly facilitate our investment and construction of factories, but I didn't expect that it only takes half an hour before and after these documents to be processed, and if it is replaced by our hometown, I am afraid it will take at least five days!" ”

After hearing this man's words, the young man in the brocade robe turned around and said, "Steward Feng, now you know why I persuaded the old man in the family to invest in building a factory in Shanghai!" ”

Steward Feng said: "The young master's eyes are like torches, it seems that it is impossible to choose to set up a factory in Shanghai!" ”

The young man who was called the young master by Steward Feng said: "I used to see when I was studying in Shanghai, the world is so big, there is no place that is easier to make money than Shanghai, this time I come to Shanghai, I Yang Cheng will definitely make some achievements, so that the old man can see, even if I Yang Cheng can't get into the Guozijian exam, I can still get ahead, no worse than the eldest brother!" ”

When he said this, Yang Cheng's face was very serious!

Looking at Yang Cheng's demeanor, Steward Feng didn't say anything, but he knew that his young master had been hit a little hard in the past two years, although his attitude was still very tenacious, but if the factory failed this time, I am afraid that his status in the family would be completely marginalized.

This Yang Cheng is a person from Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and this Yang family is also a local famous gentry family, and the gentry family is naturally based on studying and becoming an official.

However, when Yang Cheng was admitted to Jiujiangfu Middle School a few years ago, he took the exam for two consecutive years to see the admission, and then when he applied for the preparatory university, he couldn't pass the exam in life or death, and the admissions teacher of Nanchang Preparatory School told him very tactfully, don't come to apply for the preparatory school every year, you are wasting your own time, and even more wasting our time.

You only scored eight points in the 100-point math paper, and you dare to apply for Nanchang Preparatory School with this strength, can you be a little self-aware.

If you can be admitted like this, you will underestimate the tens of thousands of students in Jiangxi......

In the end, I had no choice but to spend a lot of money and went to Shanghai to study at a private normal school, that is, Songjiang Normal School, wanting to save the country with a curve, and then apply for Guozijian University or directly participate in the entrance examination.

As a result, he couldn't even pass the preparatory department back then, and he wouldn't have become awesome just because he spent money to get into a private normal school, and then suddenly he was admitted to university......

I can't pass the university, and there is a high probability that I won't be able to pass the exam......

In the end, there was no choice but to give up the imperial examination.

But as a child of a gentry, giving up the imperial examination and giving up being a servant is basically giving up the life arranged for him by the family.

This is unlucky enough for him, but he also has a talented big brother as a comparison, people must pass every exam, graduated from Guozijian University last year, and successfully took the doctoral examination in Jinling City, and now he has been assigned to the Ministry of Rites, not to mention how bright the future is, but it is definitely better than him Yang Cheng.

Compared with the eldest brother, he has become the laughing stock of the family!

Not only his eldest brother, but several of his cousins and cousins, although their grades are good and bad, they are not as good as the 100 molecule papers in the preparatory school and only do it for ten minutes.

After staying at home for a few months, I really couldn't stand the cynicism at home, so I said to the old man in the family, this career is not to mix, the IQ is just like that, I can't do anything if I can't pass the exam, or I will go to Shanghai to do business, and this factory can be regarded as a response to the call of the Son of God.

The old man of his family thought about it, but with the IQ of his second son, there was really no way to continue the test.

Sometimes, he wonders if this is his own species, their Yang family has been a local famous gentry for more than 200 years, and they dare not say that there are officials from generation to generation, but they are also a well-established scholarly family, and every generation has never been cut off, if it weren't for Yang Cheng and his eldest brother who look very much like him, I'm afraid that every night I have to wonder if my wife is stealing.

This IQ can't be admitted to college, can't be an official, and now it's good to go into business, it's not like playing with the wind and snow!

Therefore, he gave Yang Cheng the principal of 10,000 taels of silver, and let him go to Shanghai by himself.

Not to mention anything else, he is a super college scumbag, and he can be called brothers and sisters with a group of top students who have been admitted to college, which is not the ability of ordinary people!

Yang Cheng and his father are very relieved that he came to Shanghai to break through, Yang Cheng is also full of confidence, this has just arrived in Shanghai, is ready to open an industrial factory, rent a factory, buy equipment, and wait to recruit people to start work.

As a result, half a month after coming to Shanghai, he found that this Shanghai is really the same as rumored, full of money, especially easy to make.

A guy who claimed to be an agent of Zhaoqing Machinery Company just moved his mouth and used a few rusty machines to earn more than 8,000 taels of silver from himself......

Yang Cheng, who was full of self-confidence, was deceived in his first business in Shanghai......
