After Pudong's Waigaoqiao became a free trade zone, the trade zone was subsequently expanded to include the entire Pudong.

As Shanghai's largest urban area with the largest population and the largest contributor to GDP, Pudong is larger than most Chinese cities and larger than Hong Kong. Therefore, this expansion is actually equivalent to expanding the free trade zone to the scale of a city.

However, after several years of operation of the free trade zone, Lujiazui investors such as Ankang have not actually achieved the expected results. originally thought that the Shanghai Free Trade Zone would completely replace the status of Hong Kong, and even the Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, of course, in fact, the free trade zone and Ankang they understand differently, and the vast majority of people understand it differently.

Ankang still vividly remembers that day on the campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, countless people from the business and financial circles gathered together to listen to authoritative figures to interpret the policies of the free trade zone. Ankang has also studied the practical effect of the negative list with his colleagues. But in fact, this free trade zone is more conducive to foreign trade, transportation and other industries. The degree of openness of the financial sector is still very limited. After all, the financial industry that Ankang focuses on is mainly mergers and acquisitions, rather than insurance, factoring, financial leasing, and supply chain finance. In the free trade zone, which has accelerated the administrative process but is still under supervision, it does not have the feeling of Hong Kong and a tax haven.

Therefore, in 2019, the Shanghai Lingang area will become a new area of the free trade zone, and from the perspective of Ankang's personal understanding, it is not to make the Lingang new area gain greater freedom than the free trade zone, but to make the remote Lingang a new driving force for Shanghai's development.

After all, Shanghai and its suburbs are unable to support Shanghai's rapid development in terms of land resources and human resources. The large concentration of the population and the longer commuting time have a negative impact on people's livelihood. The disease is getting worse in Shanghai.

With a large amount of land resources, close to the import and export deep-water port, and far away from the urban area of Shanghai, Lingang has become a new target for the development of satellite cities in Shanghai.

Of course, the distance between Lingang and Shanghai is too far. Due to historical reasons, there is no other rapid transportation between Lingang and Shanghai, except for Line 16, which can only be crowded by missing four or five trains during rush hour.

To develop the industry, it is necessary to attract talents, and to attract talents, it is necessary to develop industries. Therefore, in the Lingang Special Area, industrial policy and talent policy are developed simultaneously, and the relevant policies are completely different from Shanghai.

The identity issue that outsiders are more concerned about and the issue of room tickets that Shanghainese are more concerned about have accommodating methods in Lingang. Regardless of the intentions of these people, it is usually best to attract people first. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to show it.

With the support of these two policies, it provides a green channel for industrial parks and enterprises to recruit talents in Lingang. Of course, the most exciting thing is the big investment in the business. For example, Tesla's investment of tens of billions in Lingang has played a very good demonstration effect. It took only one year for Tesla's factory to start production of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the surrounding industrial chain has also formed a certain prototype.

Of course, Ankang was optimistic about the opportunity of new energy vehicles and Tesla's investment in Lingang a few years ago, and made an industrial layout in advance. In the process of Tesla's factory construction, Ankang has already taken relevant enterprises to Lingang for investment or research.

In addition to the new energy industry, Ankang also referred to his model in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, and set up an overseas M&A team with the help of relevant policies of Lingang under the call of the government. Drawing on the experience of acquiring overseas mining companies, Ankang began to assist the government in acquiring overseas technology companies, mining and energy companies, so as to reserve strength for China's innovation and development.

Ankang, who has been caught up in negative news, has regained his vitality in the midst of new business opportunities. I don't come home until late every day.

On this day, Ankang returned home, only to find that the home was not only quiet, but also dark. Usually, Nanhua Rain will leave lights for Ankang in the corridor and living room, but today there is none. Even if Nanhuayu has something to do, he should say something to Ankang.

When Ankang walked into the living room, he saw four candles lit on the table. And underneath the candle is a birthday cake.

Birthday cake? Whose?

Ankang suddenly had a short circuit in his brain and fell into a moment of confusion. It wasn't until a childish voice sounded from the room that An Kang was pulled from the illusion to reality: "Dad, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”

"Today? Yo, really. Ankang picked up his phone and looked at the date.

"You're so busy that you've forgotten everything." Nan Yanyu said this, and turned back to the room.

After An Kang and his son sat down at the table, Nanhua Yu took out a beautiful package.

"Thank you for the gift, what is this?" Ankang was about to pick it up, but was blocked by the rain of southern words.

"What's the hurry? The candles are going to burn to the cake. As soon as your son heard the sound of the garage, he quickly lit the candle. Who knew it took you so long to get in the door. ”

"I was answering the phone when I got out of the car and was delayed for a few minutes. It's okay, it's okay, the candle hasn't burned yet. Come on, happy birthday songs don't have to be led by myself. ”

Nanhuayu hadn't spoken yet, but was preempted by his son: "Happy birthday to you!" …… Happybirthdaytoyou！ ”

An Kang said while cutting the cake: "Every birthday is a special touch. ”

"Feeling old?"

"It's not. It's natural to get older. Doesn't it feel like that? I was touched by how happy I am to live in this warm home. With a beautiful and kind wife and a smart and healthy child, life is enough. ”

"Life is enough, you've been saying that for years. If life was really enough, you wouldn't be so tormented. ”

Ankang took a bite of the cake, tasted it and said, "This cake is good, not so greasy." Speaking of cakes, I think life is just like this cake. The flowers are similar every year, and the cakes are different every year. But a normal person wouldn't eat the same cake every year, would they? It's the same with people. Whether it is an ambitious person or an unambitious person, there is always something to pursue. Even cultivators who have no desires and no desires are pursuing to become immortals. What's more, I'm just an ordinary man, and I'm still an investor. People who invest can't be too Buddhist. ”

An Kang's son interjected while licking the cream from the corner of his mouth at this time, "That's right, Dad." Our group is going to do a team project. I told my classmates that we would invest in a project, and they all agreed. ”

"Project investment? What project? What investment? Is it a real investment or just a game? ”

Nanhuayu said: "It's not a real investment, and it's not a game. Don't be so nervous. When it comes to investment, you can't hold anything in your head. Eat your cake and guess what this year's birthday present will be. ”
