The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 275 Investment Landing
"coming!"

Chen Shi's Rolls-Royce drove into the Wu District of Sioux City. As soon as he got off the expressway and reached the intersection of Nanhuan East Road, he bumped into the reception staff of the government.

The person who came to pick him up was Secretary Fang, the leader of the municipal party committee. When Chen Shi came here in the morning, he communicated with Chen Shi's bodyguard and learned Chen Shi's driving route and arrival time.

The car stopped for 2 minutes, and the two parties only met to confirm, and Secretary Fang got into the car.

A traffic police car started, Chen Shi's Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz were in the middle, and a government car followed, driving in a single file towards the city hall.

Half an hour later, four cars drove directly to the city hall. After Chen Shi got off the car, he was warmly welcomed by several leaders of the city party committee.

Chen Shi also never imagined that he would be so valued.

If you are in a city in the Midwest, then he is relatively easy to understand, but in Sioux City, there are too many Fortune [-] companies in the world.

In fact, apart from Chen Shi's intention to invest billions of dollars, he is also a very famous writer.

"Chen Shi Anthology" has recently appeared on some important media platforms or paper media in the country, and was also named and praised by CCTV Science and Education Channel.

Even, it was commented by a certain country/leader: "A strong youth makes a country strong, infects China, and touches our generation. I hope Chen Shi will continue to be a literary and spiritual leader of the younger generation."

The comments of the country/leadership are really influential at the level of a nuclear bomb, igniting the literary and educational circles.

The vice president of the Chinese Writers Association and the deputy director of the Mao Dun Literary Award Evaluation Committee said of Chen Shi: "Unparalleled in the country and outstanding literary talent! Chen Shi will be invited to join the Writers Association."

Minister of Education: ""Chen Shi Anthology" is very good. It is suitable for middle school students to read and think. The scientific research group is discussing it. Some of the articles will be included in the new version of the new middle school Chinese textbook."

In this way, many social celebrities praised it, and the positive energy set off a craze in the country. "Collected Works of Chen Shi" only added to the fire. All the physical books that were just posted online were sold out. The company had to limit sales daily and send only a limited amount to dealers. Still very few.

Of course, it was Shenshi Group's large investment that attracted attention. With Chen Shi's character, his credibility is relatively high, which is also an important reason.

After the two parties exchanged courtesy, they went to the municipal government office for a discussion and exchange.

First, the promotional video of Su City was played. After everyone watched the promotional video, most of the government talks were official polite words, which explained Su City's transportation location, urban planning and construction status, and explained the huge investment potential.

It is hoped that through this inspection, the two sides can further deepen their understanding, enhance their relationship and strengthen their cooperation.

The government also emphasized that it will strive to create a first-class business environment, provide investors with high-quality, high-standard, and efficient services, work together to develop investment projects and urban development and construction, and work together to strengthen Sioux City's industry and urban development.

Several government leaders said a lot of official words, Chen Shi did not interrupt, just listened quietly, still smiling on the surface, but he was a little impatient in his heart.

Before coming, Fang Zhiyuan and Chen Shi had secretly discussed that the two would adopt a red-faced strategy, Fang Zhiyuan would play the role of the "white face", that is, the hardliner, and Chen Shi would play the role of the "red face" and be more gentle.

Fang Zhiyuan pursed his lips, and said calmly: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of the leaders of the municipal party committee. Our investment of 30 billion yuan is not a small amount. After the factory is completed and put into operation, it will become a high-end enterprise with a revenue of [-] billion in the future. , can generate tens of billions of tax revenue for the local city every year, and solve the employment of thousands of people, which will become one of the signs of Sioux City.

Therefore, no matter which city we are in, we will receive great preferential policies from the government. "

The city leader in charge of attracting investment thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, Sioux City welcomes excellent investors, and there are great discounts for investors, such as investment rewards, a one-time reward of up to 200 million yuan, according to the results of the application review. , after the project actually arrives at the fund, the bonus will be cashed in installments based on more than 5% of the total project investment, and the redemption time will not exceed 5 years.”

Chen Shi was savoring the reward. In the final analysis, the money was partly refunded from the enterprise's tax.

In other words, assuming that the investment is 20 billion yuan (not counting the purchase of land), the return of 5% is 1 million yuan, and the return will be returned in five years.

Chen Shi didn't value the 1 million yuan, it wasn't a preferential policy at all.

What he values ​​is the preferential tax policy after it goes into production, which is the big deal.

In fact, all provinces, cities or regions have tasks to attract investment and compete with each other.

In order to grab excellent investors, cities have thrown out some incentives.

For example, in Sioux City, large-scale investment projects with tens of billions of dollars will be rewarded to relevant institutions or personnel in the way of "one matter, one discussion". Large-scale projects will be rewarded with a maximum of 1% of the actual amount received in the project year. , Innovative projects will be rewarded to relevant institutions or personnel at a maximum of 3% of the actual amount received in the project year.

In other words, as long as you have the resources and ability to help the government attract investment, the government will reward you.

The Rongcheng government doesn't know about Shenshi Group's investment, otherwise, they will definitely intercept and persuade them to stay and invest. Maybe Shenshi just arrived in Wenzhou, and Wenzhou Investment and Business Department will also treat Chen Shi and his party favorably.

In the final analysis, the main reason is that the rise of the Shenshi Group was too fast, so fast that many people did not realize it.

In fact, the Shenshi Group has attracted the attention of the Rongcheng District Government, but it has not yet urgently reported to the city.

Generally speaking, the government pays more attention to immediate interests and is eager for quick success, requiring investors to invest funds for rapid development at one time.

Why, it is actually related to the tenure of the incumbent. If the development is slow, the result will be harvested by the next generation, and then your own achievements have nothing to do with you.

There are also some governments that will use land and policies as temptations and require to share benefits with investors.

Of course, the government here in Sioux City is not so brain-dead. It knows that the government's shareholding will always be the most hated by the company, and it is the most taboo to talk about it. Maybe it will backfire if it is mentioned, and the investor will run away.

What the government is worried about is that investors enclosing land at low prices and waiting for the land to appreciate will be of no use to the local economic development, because there is no increase in taxation and employment of the population.

When negotiating with government investment, there is no need to be afraid of anything, and you should make a move when it is time to do so.

Before Fang Zhiyuan came to Sioux City, he had studied Sioux City's preferential investment policies, but the Sioux City government did not know the real intention of Shenshi Group, whether it would invest in Sioux City, or not.

What the government wants is government interests and a blueprint for development. Next, Fang Zhiyuan explained the company's development history and development plan based on the company's promotional video, explaining that the company is developing rapidly and will become the next Fortune [-] company.

The first round of negotiations didn't result in anything. The two parties met for the first time, and the Sioux City government couldn't possibly believe everything Fang Zhiyuan said, so they planned to take Chen Shi and others to the industrial site first.

Several vehicles drove out of the government office and headed to the south of Wu District.

Shenshi Company's plan of 1000 mu of land explains that Wu District is adjacent to Shencheng in the east and has more open land in the south. However, there are not many suitable pieces of industrial land of more than [-] mu.

In Wenzhou, there is no way to find a piece of industrial land of more than a thousand mu.There is a shortage of land in Wenzhou, and the BHX district in Wenzhou is filled with land reclamation.

In Sioux City, there are quite a lot of vacant land. It is very difficult for small manufacturers to settle in. The government does not approve land at all.

The weather in Sioux City is getting colder in November, and government professionals will introduce the situation to investors every time they visit a site.

I visited one piece of land in the morning, had lunch, and then looked at two more plots of land in the afternoon.

The next day, the negotiations continued. When the two sides reached a deadlock, they went to the site to inspect and get some fresh air.

During the negotiation process, Chen Shi seldom spoke, and only acted for him.

On the third day of the inspection, Chen Shi received a call from the Municipal Committee of the Rongcheng Government.

"Hello, who is that?"

"Mr. Chen, hello, I am the secretary of a certain leader in the city. I heard that you are investing in Sioux City. Our leader would like to communicate with you. Is it convenient?"

"Hehe, you guys are very well informed, you can talk about it." Chen Shi glanced at the leaders of the Sioux City government next to him, and started chatting directly without walking away.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Sioux City government seemed to have no intention of eavesdropping.

Chen Shi chatted with the leaders of Rongcheng for nearly 10 minutes. The meaning of Rongcheng is to invite investment, and any preferential treatment can be negotiated, which is better than Sucheng. Investing has many advantages.

A phone call disrupted the plans of the Sioux City government. Chen Shi didn't want to inspect industrial land today. He went back to the hotel directly. He had to put on a good show.

Early the next morning, the Sioux City government took the initiative to invite them to negotiate. This time, they talked about more substantive things.

In the end, the preferential policy obtained is that the corporate income tax will be "exempted for two years and halved for three years", that is, from the profit-making year, it will be exempted for two years and halved for three years.

After being reported to the State/Taxation/General Administration for approval, the corporate income tax can be levied at a reduced tax rate of 15%.

The government is responsible for the laying and installation of supporting facilities, with five connections and one leveling.

There is no way to discuss value-added tax, which is a national rigidity. We can only talk about corporate income tax. Taxation is what Chen Shi is most concerned about. Others are collected as they can.

Industrial land is 35 yuan per mu, and residential land is 500 million yuan per mu, which is much lower than the market value.

More than 1000 acres of industrial land and residential land are decided on Wujiang Avenue, next to the resort ecological park.

The basic avenue has already been built, the terrain is relatively flat, and it doesn't take much time to level the land.

The planned investment is 30 billion yuan, the first batch of investment will be 10 billion yuan, the down payment of land costs will be 3 million yuan, and the land payment owed will be made up in the next two years.

The government required Shenshi Group to start construction within two years, but it was unexpected that Chen Shi required that the factory be completed and put into operation within one and a half years. Some auxiliary work required the cooperation of the government.

One and a half years, in some investment and construction of factories, it is neither fast nor slow.The construction of factory workshops and equipment debugging can be completed within one year, and the construction of office buildings and employee apartments may be slower.

The 14-square-meter employee apartment will have more than a dozen high-rise apartments with more than 20 floors, and the task load is very large.

The normal construction period does take two to three years, but if there is money, the main body can be built within one year, or even nine months, and the rest is the decoration work with a very long cycle.

On the same day, the two parties signed an investment cooperation agreement.

In a few days of investigation, it can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

The next step is to invite experts for overall design and bidding.
