Chapter 431: Wear a top hat together
The reason why Shen Bing agreed to participate in this banquet was not only because it was inconvenient to refuse the other party's invitation, but he also had another purpose.
Shanghai, the city with the largest GDP in China, a state-level central city, and an international financial, trade, shipping, and scientific and technological innovation center, is one of the mega cities that deserves to be called.
Although Rongcheng has developed rapidly over the years, there is still a big gap compared with Shanghai.
The headquarters of Phantom Immortal Technology is in Rongcheng, and the focus of development is in Rongcheng, but it does not mean that Phantom Immortal Technology will only develop in Rongcheng forever.
Any enterprise that wants to seek greater development must jump out of the shackles of geography and do the company's business all over the world.
Shanghai has an advantage that Rongcheng does not have, that is, transportation.
To give a very simple example, if Dream Glass is only supplied to China, it makes no difference whether the factory is opened in Rongcheng or Shanghai. But if Shen Bing wants to sell dream glass to the world, the best way is to find a city with access to the sea.
There are many outlets to the sea in China, and there are also many excellent ports, but what Shen Bing values most is Shanghai.
This point has been planned by Shen Bing at the beginning of the establishment of Phantom Fairy Technology, which is not only for Dream Glass, but also involves all aspects of products in the future, including many types that have a great demand for shipping.
Shen Bing planned to take advantage of this opportunity to inquire about the situation with the Shanghai Municipal Government.
Of course, there are also some factors that are not humane, all of which make him want to find a place to put down roots by the sea as soon as possible.
As soon as Shen Bing arrived at the Pujiang Hotel, a group of people were already there to greet him.
Shen Bing recognized the leader at a glance, he had already taken a few minutes to do work before coming, and he had done some knowledge of the people who met this time.
This person is a deputy mayor of Shanghai City in charge of industry and commerce, land and resources.
"Mr. Shen!" As soon as the other party saw Shen Bing, he immediately greeted him.
Shen Bing also walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to shake the other party, and said, "Hello Mayor Liu!"
The man was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to know me, but I am very honored." ”
Mayor Liu smiled. Shen Bing said, "I'm a hairy boy, and I actually worked to greet Mayor Liu, that's my honor." ”
"Haha! Mr. Shen is so modest, it is estimated that the local government will welcome you in any city you go. ”
As the two spoke, Vice Mayor Liu took Shen Bing into the hotel.
Led by a hotel attendant, the group arrived in a spacious banquet hall with a huge round table in the middle.
There were already a few people sitting at the table, but when they saw Shen Bing and his party coming in, they all stood up one by one.
Vice Mayor Liu pointed to a middle-aged man who came over and introduced: "This is our Mayor Mu. ”
"Hello Mayor Mu. Shen Bing said with a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Haha! When I saw Mr. Shen, I finally knew what it meant to be young and promising. That kid in my family is about the same age as Mr. Shen, but in terms of ability, he can't compare to Mr. Shen. ”
Vice Mayor Liu said with a smile on the side: "Mayor Mu, aren't you burying people in this way? The one in your family who was admitted to Tsinghua University for a doctorate with his own ability, compared with your children, we are embarrassed to speak." As for Mr. Shen, I think it's better not to compare, so as not to hit people. ”
Shen Bing's eyelids jumped, these guys are united to wear high hats!
However, these people belong to the old fritters, and they know how to grasp the proportions, and now that the meaning has been expressed, they will not continue to dwell on this topic, and immediately invite Shen Bing to take a seat.
Obviously, this time Shen Bing was the guest of honor - apart from him, there was only Lu Xian, Shen Bing's driver and bodyguard.
It seems that Mayor Mu and the others have had an in-depth understanding of the people who traveled with Shen Bing, and knew that Lu Xian was not only Shen Bing's bodyguard and driver, but also a top technical talent, so they also invited the other party to sit down at the table.
After the two sides were seated, Mayor Mu personally introduced the nine people who attended the banquet to him one by one.
Shen Bing listened, but muttered in his heart: "This is the rhythm of the three sessions!"
Because of the nine people at this table, except for Mayor Mu and Vice Mayor Liu, the remaining seven people are all heads of major departments, including industry and commerce, land, electricity and other departments......
"Mr. Shen, I heard that you came to Shanghai this time for the illusion TV explosion case. Last night, I also listened to the special report of the public security department, and they admired you very much, Mr. Shen. Mayor Mu said with a smile.
Shen Bing followed the topic and said: "This matter is thanks to the various government departments in Shanghai led by you, Mayor Mu, and the reputation of Vision TV can be reversed so quickly, but it all depends on the press conference in the morning." ”
Mayor Mu immediately said: "Mr. Shen's words are out of sight, this is what we should do." Strictly speaking, I still have to apologize to you, Mr. Shen, if it weren't for a certain cadre in the industrial and commercial department on our side who made his own initiative and issued that announcement at an inappropriate time, you would not be so passive in the future. ”
The person in charge of the industrial and commercial bureau immediately interjected: "Mayor Mu, now we have suspended and investigated the director Zeng who handled this matter, and if there are illegal and criminal acts, we will transfer them to the judicial authorities as soon as possible." ”
Mayor Mu waved his hand and said, "It's just ugly, so you don't need to take it out." ”
The corners of Shen Bing's mouth curled slightly, aren't these words just for him.
But Shen Bing received this feeling, who let the announcement of the industrial and commercial department really make him listen to the egg.
The people at the table were eating wine and food while chatting, and the atmosphere was also very harmonious.
After three rounds of drinking, General Manager Zhao of Shanghai Electric Power Company finally led the topic to the Shanghai Thermal Power Station project.
Mayor Mu made a very embarrassed look and said, "Mr. Shen, you have been in Shanghai for the past two days, I believe you have also felt the air quality here in Shanghai, right? In order to ensure the power supply of Shanghai, at least 10 large-scale thermal power stations operate day and night in and around Shanghai, burning nearly one million tons of coal every day. The deterioration of the air quality in Shanghai cannot be entirely attributed to these thermal power stations, but they definitely play a major role. We are looking forward to the early start of your geothermal power project!"
Without waiting for Shen Bing to speak, Vice Mayor Liu followed and started the duet, only to see him say with a regretful face: "That's right, for this matter, our General Manager Zhao also personally led a team to Rongcheng, but because your company's project is too full, it is estimated that our project will have to wait until the end of this year." ”
Of course, Shen Bing can't agree directly, otherwise wouldn't it seem that my company's products are very cheap? Immediately said: "Two leaders, you also have to be considerate, the most important thing for us to do business, the most important thing is integrity, we can't let go of the project that signed the contract first, but do it first? But you can also rest assured that our company is still increasing investment in the geothermal power station project, and the equipment production efficiency is getting higher and higher, maybe your project can start without waiting until the end of the year." ”
Obviously, Shen Bing's reply could not satisfy the wishes of the people present, if it was only to achieve this goal, why did they bother to go through so much trouble?
"Mr. Shen, I have a suggestion, do you think it?" General Manager Zhao said, "In terms of demand for electricity, we in Shanghai are definitely in the forefront of the country, and in our current power structure, thermal power occupies the highest proportion in the country, and the people's demand for clean energy is also the most urgent." Do you want to see if we can share some equipment in other geothermal power station projects, and let our projects start construction? This will at least allow us to give an account to tens of millions of Shanghai citizens? Even if the electricity price of the grid here is slightly increased, it is okay, and in this regard, our Shanghai Electric Power Company still has a certain degree of independent pricing power. ”
Mayor Mu and Vice Mayor Liu also beat side drums on the side.
Shen Bing hesitated, struggled for a long time, and finally said: "Mayor Mu, Mr. Zhao, if you really want to let this project move first, it's not impossible, as long as our company greatly expands its production capacity, I can still meet the needs of Shanghai's geothermal power station project." It's just that this will take up most of our company's funds, which will affect the company's next steps. ”
"Oh, I wonder what Mr. Shen's next plan is?" Mayor Mu asked with interest.
Shen Bing said: "Build a factory." With the further development and growth of our company, the demand for all kinds of ores is increasing, and even many of them need to be imported from abroad. At present, the cost of transporting ore from abroad to Rongcheng is too high, so our company plans to find a place near the sea and build a new metallurgical plant. ”
Mayor Mu and the others all showed ecstasy, this is simply great news!
Phantom Immortal Technology is ready to find a place to invest in building a factory, which is probably something that any local government will be so excited that it can't sleep.
Who made Phantom Immortal Technology stage too many legends in the previous half a year?
If it is the introduction of other enterprises, it will be worried that it will become a problem factory, but Phantom Immortal Technology will not, whether it is from the capital or technology, Phantom Fairy Technology has absolute strength.
Not only that, the profitability of Phantom Immortal Technology has been recognized by the world, and someone once calculated that the Rongcheng City Government's policy of tax exemption for Phantom Immortal Technology for three years will at least make Rongcheng lose hundreds of billions of taxes.
This is definitely not a boast, because in just this half a year, Phantom Fairy Technology has recorded hundreds of billions of revenue, although people do not know the profit margin of Phantom Fairy Technology, but it will definitely not be less than 30%. What's more, now Phantom Immortal Technology's new profitable dragon scale security software has begun to charge, which will give Phantom Immortal Technology a steady stream of huge amounts of money.
That's all money!
Not to mention Rongcheng, it is a megacity like Shanghai, and it is painful enough to lose so much tax revenue.
If Huanxian Technology can also build a factory in Shanghai, although its revenue cannot be compared with Rongcheng Corporation, it is definitely something that other companies can only look up to.
