With the increase in the number of visits to China, Xu Zhengdao gradually became accustomed to discussions and dinners. Although he still doesn't like this kind of socialization very much. But he also knows that this is an essential way of communication in the interpersonal process.

In the face of the sincere inquiries of the leaders in Shanghai, Xu Zhengdao also expressed some of his suggestions and concerns. At present, although there has been great progress in the policy of reopening up in China compared with the early years, there are still many rules and regulations set in some places.

For many foreign investors, they are well aware of the prospects for domestic investment. But they also know that if such a policy is not implemented and implemented, then they will also worry about whether the money will be guaranteed after it is invested.

When referring to the new area to be developed in Shanghai, Xu Zhengdao also said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, although this is my first time in Shanghai, I have also learned a lot about the situation in Shanghai before I came.

As you must know, my full-time secretary, Miss Lee, was from Shanghai in her early years. Earlier, the company decided to invest, and she also took the initiative to propose Shanghai as a place to invest, and now it seems that her suggestion is very correct."

Lizhi, who accompanied the discussion, did not expect Xu Zhengdao to take the initiative to mention her existence at such a time. But in fact, with the increase in the investment of the Mythical Group in the mainland, the rights she holds are also increasing.

Although on the surface, she is Xu Zhengdao's full-time secretary. But in fact, the relationship between her and Xu Zhengdao is believed to be speculated by many people. Many people even think that she may become the chairman's wife.

Even if she becomes the wife of many chairmen, many people feel that she has more weight in Xu Zhengdao's heart than ordinary group executives. Therefore, when treating her, the official staff will also give enough respect and courtesy.

Just when the leaders smiled and affirmed Lizhi's support for his hometown, Xu Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Although I am optimistic about the future of the new district, I also know that there is still a popular saying in Shanghai, and I must have heard it all the leaders.

That is, I would rather have a bed in Huxi than a room in Hudong. Although Hudong is also an area under the jurisdiction of Shanghai, all leaders should be clear about the gap between the new area and the current urban area.

If you want to attract investors and invest in a new and unfamiliar area, then the pros and cons will be used as a reference. I came to Shanghai this time to see what policies you have decided to give to the new area.

In fact, when I had a private conversation with Mr. Guan earlier, I told him bluntly that Shanghai, as a well-known window city in China to the outside world, since you want to develop a new area, how bold you are will also attract the attention of the outside world."

In the face of Xu Zhengdao's outspoken inquiry, the leaders also began to tell that Shanghai has decided to give the new area the policy and planning layout. At the same time, the leaders also said that the development of the new area is also an important decision made by the above.

This also means that the development of the new area will also be highly valued by the superiors, and in many things, you can enjoy special treatment. There is only one ultimate goal, and that is to develop the new area rapidly.

If possible, they hope that the future Shanghai New Area will become a window to the outside world for China to not lose to the Special Economic Zone. And Xu Zhengdao in the New Taipei District of Xiangjiang has also been mentioned several times by these leaders, and even bluntly said that they hope that the new district will be the same as the New Taipei District in the future.

But for Xu Zhengdao, who listened to these policies, he also shook his head directly: "Leaders, with all due respect, the model of the New North District, where the Mythical Group is located, is difficult to replicate in the Shanghai New Area, and even this replication cannot succeed.

If you hope that the new area will become a window or business card for domestic reform in the future, then you should find the right position in advance, rather than investing for the sake of investment. To put it simply, just because someone invests, you can't just raise your hand and welcome it.

For example, if I want to set up a high-tech enterprise in a new district. When my company is built, but there is a chemical plant or other polluting company next to it, what do you think I will do?"

In the face of Xu Zhengdao's inquiry, a leader soon said: "What does Yan Dong mean is to selectively accept investment?"

"What is in a hurry is not a good deal, and this ideal must be understood by all leaders. Shanghai is a well-known international metropolis in China and the world, so its development model is destined to be different from other places.

Take the Special Economic Zone, for example, which has a large amount of industrial land, which can accommodate investors from all walks of life. As long as these investment enterprises are arranged in the same area according to the different investment projects.

And how big is the area of the Shanghai New Area? If, like the Special Economic Zone, you do not refuse foreign investors, then you can imagine that the New Zone may develop rapidly in the future, but what will become of the result?

If high value-added companies and low-value-added companies are crowded together, the end result will only make high-value-added companies flee. To put it mildly, if a public toilet suddenly appears next to a high-end restaurant, what will happen to the restaurant's business?"

Such a straightforward remark did make many leaders fall into deep thought, but soon a leader asked: "Then Yan Dong thinks that how should Shanghai be positioned to develop a new area?"

"When it comes to the positioning of the city, I naturally don't dare to express my opinion on this kind of thing. After all, if one is not good, I will become a sinner through the ages. But you leaders are about to want to hear it, so I will say a little bit of my personal opinion, just for your reference."

Regarding Xu Zhengdao's modest statement, the leaders also nodded their heads to express their affirmation and desire to listen. As it is said in the newspapers at present, many things involving reform are often crossed by feeling the stones in China, and it is difficult to find references.

Xu Zhengdao also continued: "Aside from the country's strategic layout, as far as Shanghai is concerned, I believe that your leaders have felt that the gap between eastern and western Shanghai is widening. In the long run, it will be difficult for Shanghai's economy to make a breakthrough.

In my opinion, Shanghai was an internationally renowned city in its early years, but compared with other well-known cities in developed countries, Shanghai's current model is described as a traditional industrial and commercial city. And this kind of city needs a large area to be able to do it.

You must have felt this when you applied to the above for the development of Hudong. But have you ever thought that even if Shanghai is full of factories and enterprises, it can really become an internationally renowned metropolis? I don't think so!"

As Xu Zhengdao opened the explanation and analysis mode, the civilian personnel in charge of recording also really felt that the young chairman's insight was indeed worthy of the achievements he had now, and many leaders felt that the more they listened, the more reasonable it became.

As a result, what was expected to be a two-hour discussion turned into a long talk. Even at the next reception, several important leaders in Shanghai were still discussing the planning of the new area with Xu Zhengdao. In the eyes of the leaders, it has indeed benefited a lot.

The content of the meeting, as well as Xu Zhengdao's expectations for the future of Shanghai, also made the higher-level leaders who received the report quite appreciated. The saying that there is Kyoto in the north and Shanghai in the south has been circulated for a long time, which shows how important Shanghai's position is in the domestic city.

If Shanghai can become an international metropolis beyond Xiangjiang in the future, I believe many leaders will like to hear it. While they know that it will take time and a lot of work to get to where it is, at least they can improve their goal-setting.

Once you have a goal, what the government has to do is to implement the work step by step until you completely achieve this goal!
