"I think you've heard more or less about the official's intention to invite you today!" Zhao Dongyun didn't speak very quickly after opening his mouth, but spoke slowly, and only paused after the beginning, so speaking is naturally not for the sake of sounding, but a kind of speech technique.

Speaking slowly means that the words that are about to be exported will stay in the mind for a few more seconds, and speaking slowly means that the possibility of speaking wrong will be small, and this kind of speech is very conducive to driving the atmosphere of the audience, and it is easy for others to immerse themselves in the content of their speeches.

Zhao Dongyun paused for a moment and continued: "That's right, I invited you to come here just for money, but don't worry, today we won't talk about donations, only investment!" ”

Since Zhao Dongyun has started, then the next thing is to talk about the investment promotion plan he conceived, and what is the core of Zhao Dongyun's investment promotion for many businessmen here, it is nothing more than two words: policy!

"As we all know, the Japan-Russia melee has a great impact on the people's livelihood and economy in Fengtian, and I have heard that businesses from all over the world, especially those in Yingkou and Shengjing, etc., for the sake of people's livelihood, and in order to let you merchants have a safe and convenient production and business area, I have asked the imperial court to set up Huludao in Ningyuan Hall as the 'Huludao Industrial Zone', and specially invite the industrial zone as a treaty port, allowing foreign businessmen to enter and leave the port to purchase goods."

As soon as everyone heard that there was a so-called treaty port in Huludao Industrial Zone, to be honest, they only understood the first three words, but the three words of the industrial zone behind them did not understand, and they didn't care much about the so-called treaty port. ”

Zhao Dongyun said: "As the name suggests, this industrial zone is naturally a place to handle industry, of course, you may ask where you can run an industry, but why do you want to come to this industrial zone?"

The first thing I want to say is: tax exemption, any business, regardless of domestic or foreign countries, as long as they come to this industrial zone to set up a factory, will be exempted from any taxes and fees for the first three years, only 30% of the rated tax will be charged in the fourth and fifth years, and only half of the tax will be charged in the fifth to 10th years!

Not only is it tax-free, but the General's Mansion will plan and build supporting facilities such as transportation and water conservancy for the entire industrial zone. As a supporting set, the industrial zone will start the construction of the branch railway from the industrial zone to the railway inside and outside the Kansai within three months, and the construction of Hulu Port will be started within half a year, and small and medium-sized sea vessels will be able to dock next year!

At the same time, in order to prevent the factories you set up from recruiting enough workers, the General's Office will also send commissioners to the prefectures and counties of Mukden to recruit workers, and if they are not enough, they will also send personnel to Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other provinces to recruit enough workers. ”

The businessmen who helped recruit workers in the back didn't care much, as long as they were paid enough wages to recruit people these days, there was no big problem, but the tax exemption in Zhao Dongyun's mouth made them unable to ignore it.

The end of the Qing Dynasty is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, the merchants of the late Ming Dynasty can be said to have no need to pay a dime of business taxes, but the taxes of merchants at the end of the Qing Dynasty are very heavy, from the production to the transportation and sales of a commodity, the imperial court will collect a large amount of taxes from it, and now Zhao Dongyun shouted the slogan of tax exemption, which naturally makes them excited.

In addition, they are also a little surprised, although the branch railway from this industrial area to the railway inside and outside the Guanwai does not need much, but it cannot be repaired without hundreds of thousands of taels, in addition, the Huludao port, even if its original conditions are relatively good, but if you want to handle modern cargo ships and passenger ships to become a modern port, this can not be done without hundreds of thousands of throws down.

And all this money was taken out by the General's Mansion?

At this time, the merchants had questions, when did the imperial court become so good, and even if it threw out at least one million taels of silver to support the merchants to run businesses, it didn't even collect taxes? So the court can't die?

This is not that their economic theory is not enough, but to subvert the traditional image of the imperial court in their hearts, according to people's concepts, when the imperial court wants to do this kind of thing, it must be greedy for the silver in the pockets of merchants, and will try their best to make merchants donate at the same time will also be heavily taxed.

But they don't know that Zhao Dongyun's eyes are not only looking at this industrial zone, and he has no intention of directly investing in the construction of the Huludao branch railway and Huludao port by the general's government, whether it is a railway or a port, these are large projects that can make long-term profits.

As for not collecting taxes, there is nothing, he can still sell land without taxes, such as the land for building factories in the industrial zone, you businessmen have to sell it with money, even if it is not sold for money, it is a big deal that Zhao Dongyun himself first built the factory and then rented it to the merchants, anyway, whether it is rented or sold, it is all about money.

Secondly, once the industrial zone is developed, more workers will naturally drive the commercial development of the surrounding areas, and the residential land in the industrial zone and the residential land in the surrounding areas can also make some money, of course, in the late Qing Dynasty, unless the real estate is to play in the Shanghai concession, it is more difficult to make a lot of money, and the real big head still comes from taxes.

Zhao Dongyun exempted those factories, but he was not prepared to exempt all kinds of shops and service industries in the industrial zone, on the contrary, instead of exempting them, he was still prepared to impose heavy taxes.

As long as tens of thousands of workers pour into the industrial zone, if you add their families, if you add their families, if it develops, it is possible for 50,000 or 60,000 or even more than 100,000 people, and then these people will have various expenses every month, and these expenses will represent the consumer market, and then Zhao Dongyun will be able to collect taxes from the consumption links of these workers.

If you have a little understanding of the economy, then you will know that about half of the price of a product you buy is a tax under various names, such as the business tax of the production enterprise, the customs duty in the transportation link, the business tax of the sales business, and so on.

So as long as there is consumption, then Zhao Dongyun will be able to collect taxes 100%!

Zhao Dongyun's set of activities in Huludao sounds better to promote the development of the primary industry and the tertiary industry with the development of the secondary industry, of course, this is officialdom, in fact, he is playing the trick of empty gloves and white wolves, using policies in exchange for real taxes!

After Zhao Dongyun threw out the remarks of the Huludao Industrial Zone that night, Zhao Dongyun announced the official establishment of the 'Huludao Industrial Zone' the next day, and the district will be separated from the local government and county management, and it will be directly under the jurisdiction of the General's Government.

Once the industrial zone is established, there will naturally be a lot of follow-up content in the follow-up!

Including the announcement of comprehensive preferential policies, whether domestic or foreign-owned, or government-owned enterprises and other types of enterprises, as long as they settle in the industrial zone and can enjoy generous tax exemption policies.

With these policy supports, there must be supporting support, after all, Huludao is still just a large wasteland.

Supporting construction, mainly by Fuyuan Yarn Factory's wholly-owned subsidiary Fuyuan Construction Company is responsible, the enterprise will be fully responsible for the leveling of Huludao Industrial Zone, plant construction, port construction, Huludao branch railway, surrounding residential construction, basically all the infrastructure projects in the industrial zone are directly contracted to Fuyuan Construction Company, as for outsourcing or not it depends on the situation.

On the one hand, Zhao Dongyun really can't find anyone else or a company that has the ability to raise millions of taels of silver for the construction of Huludao Industrial Zone, and on the other hand, these construction projects are very profitable, and it is better to let others earn than to let their own enterprises earn.

In order to win the trust of the industrial and commercial circles, the issuance of these bonds and the custody of the funds after the issuance were handed over to the newly established Fengtian Guanyin, so as to avoid being swallowed up by the yamen of the Huludao Industrial Zone.

As for playing construction projects and eating kickbacks, you must know that it is Zhao Dongyun's Fuyuan Construction Company that is responsible for the construction, and whoever dares to eat kickbacks will be able to know it as soon as possible, and then he will not hesitate to swing a big knife and cut off his head.

The repayment of the bonds will be repaid by the future operating profits of the Huludao Railway, the operating income of the Huludao Port, the income from the rental and sale of land in the industrial zone, and other tax revenues from the industrial district government!

Also as a supporting there is the industrial zone Yamen specially set up the 'labor office', which will be from western Liaoning and even directly under the propaganda to recruit rural personnel, for the enterprises to solve the most basic labor needs, as for the technical personnel is troublesome, in addition to the propaganda as much as possible, the labor department can only rely on the enterprises themselves to dig the foot of the wall or their own training.

When there are these, although Huludao is a wasteland, but it is considered to be a shelf to be erected, and then in order to further stimulate these businessmen, under his instructions, Zhao Chenliang, general manager of Fuyuan Yarn Factory, that is, Zhao Dongyun's third uncle officially signed a contract with Li Erjian, the head of the Li family in Jinzhou, and the two sides will jointly invest in the construction of 'Huludao Textile Company' in Huludao Industrial Zone, with an initial investment of up to 400,000 taels of silver, which will cover the two major businesses of spinning and weaving. It became the first super-large enterprise to enter the industrial zone.

The Li family wants to cooperate with Fuyuan Yarn Factory to invest in the textile industry is not a matter of one or two days, in 1903 began to plan, but has not been successful, this time when Huludao Industrial Zone was opened, Fuyuan Yarn Factory in order to support Zhao Dongyun in charge of Fengtian, even if it is a loss, you have to take money out of investment, but Fuyuan Yarn Factory has invested too much in recent years, especially from last year to this year in order to support the affiliated steelmaking mill of Fuyuan Machinery Qì Factory, which occupied a large amount of funds of Fuyuan Yarn Factory, Therefore, this time to Huludao investment naturally also pulled the Li family, who has always wanted to get involved in the textile industry, agreed that Fuyuan out of technology, management and technical personnel and a small part of the funds, and the Li family is responsible for sales channels, most of the early capital investment, with Fuyuan yarn factory accounted for 49%, Li family accounted for 51%, jointly established Huludao Textile Company.
