The Era of Hard Work

From Quannan to Daocheng, there is an expressway built in the mid-1990s, which is the expressway south of Lujia Village. Although the bridge hole under the expressway has brought countless troubles and inconveniences to the rural areas along the way, this road has deepened the development of Quandao. The connection between the two places gives people more convenient transportation options besides the train.

A new black Audi A6 led the way, followed by a convoy of Toyota Coaster and three other cars, near the highway exit toll booth.

There are many people coming to Daocheng, the toll booth is still purely manual, and there are long queues of waiting vehicles.

On the rented Toyota Coaster, Fan Yunming from Guangmei Electric saw Lu Dong put down his phone and asked, Brother Lu, what's the matter?

Lu Dong smiled: Don't worry, Brother Fan, people are waiting for us outside the exit. A deputy director of the China Merchants Bureau personally led the team.

Zhang Mingyu from Ginza answered: It's also about attracting investment. Daocheng is flexible and changeable. It's much more aggressive than Quannan, who is sluggish. Not to mention anything else, just the referrer. It is said that the recommended projects can be implemented. The city will give referrers a cash reward of up to 5 million yuan based on the amount of landed funds, not to mention other policy benefits.

Fan Yunming also understood: The development of the island city is faster than that of Quannan, not only because of the coastal ports.

Lu Dong told the truth: Maybe Quannan is the most rigid place in the whole province.

Fan Yunming agreed with Lu Dong's words. Taidong is a province with a large population, and it is also one of the most important markets in Guangmei's plan. But before coming to Taidong, he would rather go to the south to fight with Suning than come to Quannan.

Fortunately, two local local snake companies have been recruited locally, and the three parties have reached a strategic cooperation, which greatly reduces the difficulty of market development.

Needless to say, Quannan, with Lu Dong acting as the middleman and cooperating with Qiansheng and Ginza in an all-round way, Guangmei is not weaker than Sanlian Home Appliances, and it is also rapidly eroding Sanlian's market share.

Several surrounding cities, such as Pingcheng and Linzi, etc., borrowed the power of the Weiqiao Group through Lu Dong, and the development was relatively smooth.

This time when he came to Daocheng, Lu Dong had already established contact with Daocheng Merchants through the relationship of the Chamber of Commerce, plus Guangmei and Ginza, which were very important there.

Fan Yunming knew very well that without Guangmei and Ginza, Daocheng would not pay so much attention to Lu's restaurant alone.

But the leverage is mutual, and Guangmei Electric has nothing to do with it here.

China is a society of personal affection, and this view is widely recognized. The most typical representative is Taidong. Fan Yunming has been in Taidong for a year, and he has a very deep experience. Taidong can be said to be a society of human affection in a society of human affection. Whether it is a big or small business, there are two kinds of treatment if there are referrals from acquaintances and referrals from no acquaintances.

Even heaven and earth.

Fan Yunming suddenly thought of some procedures for review submitted by Guangmei Electric at the beginning. The relevant materials were handed in, and then began to wait for a long time. .

The people from Guangmei took it back, reworked the materials, corrected the irregularities pointed out by the people, and submitted it again.

After waiting for a while, there was another notification, saying that there was another problem with the material, and Guangmei had to take it back to correct it. It turned out that the description on the last page of the problem was not rigorous enough.

It is true that there is a problem with the work. Guangmei changed it again, sent it again, and was notified again...

Finally, the person who sent the materials figured it out, and the person who reviewed the materials saw something wrong, so he stopped looking down and was notified to take it back for revision. After the modification, he continued to review, and if there were any problems, he corrected it, and then reviewed it again. change.

There are regional differences and differences in local regulations. When a company enters a new market, it will definitely encounter various problems. normative place.

But that's impossible.

After tossing about seven or eight times, the people below finally reported to Fan Yunming. Fan Yunming had no choice but to ask someone from Qiansheng for help. He hired a director, and all the problems were quickly solved. Point out all the problems and list the correct modification methods...

When I first came here, I didn't have any acquaintances, so Guangmei's work was not generally difficult.

For example, during a certain job inspection, a person happened to see Guangmei delivering a TV, and suddenly said that the new TV is good, and the TV at home is seven or eight years old.

What should I do now that I have said this?

Du Xiaobing said at this time: My family also has business here. In all aspects, the business environment in Daocheng is better than that in Quannan.

Lu Dong smiled: Island cities and coastal cities are more open.

The convoy exited the next station at this time, and there were several cars parked at the parking lot at a turning, among them were officials, as well as Daocheng Qingzhao, who had dealt with Lu Dong several times in Qingzhao and University Town Sha Binghai, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Audi at the front stopped, Coster stopped by the side of the road, Lu Dong got out of the car first, and shook hands with Sha Binghai: Boss Sha, please come here...

The last time I went to Qingzhao, I was kindly welcomed by Mr. Lu. Sha Binghai introduced the middle-aged man in a white shirt next to him: This is Director Luo of the China Merchants Bureau. I heard that you are coming today, so I have to greet you personally.

Just as Lu Dong wanted to shake hands with someone, Director Luo took a step forward and took the initiative to hold his hand: Welcome Mr. Lu! Welcome Lu Dong to visit and invest in the island city!

From this person, I can feel that the island city attaches great importance to attracting investment.

Excuse me, Director Luo. Lu Dong smiled all over his face.

Private enterprise investors these days are far inferior to foreign investors, but as long as they have money and projects and are willing to invest, local governments, especially those in charge of attracting investment, will definitely be treated as VIPs.

Not to mention that Lu's Catering has continuously advertised in Provincial TV, Evening News and Sports TV for the past six months. Guangmei and Ginza are even more famous. Some liars who pretend to be investors can pretend to be investors and are warmly received by the local authorities. .

Lu Dong introduced Fan Yunming, Zhang Mingyu and Du Xiaobing one by one. This is not a place to talk, and the group boarded the car and went to the hotel.

Both Sha Binghai and Director Luo went to Coster, and the former kept talking about topics of interest to both sides along the way. This middleman did it with ease.

Sha Binghai has business in both Qingzhao and Daocheng, and introducing new projects will only benefit him.

Daocheng had suffered and been deceived in attracting investment. Despite being recommended by acquaintances, Director Luo still specially entrusted someone to find out in Quannan.

These three companies are all well-known companies in Quannan, and the youngest among them, Lv Dong, is also a certification committee member of Qingzhao County and the vice-chairman of the local chamber of commerce.

With political status and the status of a private chamber of commerce that is deeply involved with the government as a guarantee, this person has higher credibility than ordinary private companies.

Social status can not only exist as a guarantee, but also become a stepping stone to new markets in the current business environment.

Attracting investment is a top priority everywhere, not to mention the open coastal city like Daocheng, which is vigorously developing its economy. Lu Dong and his group are received by the Daocheng Merchants Bureau throughout the whole process, and the place where they live is arranged just this year. The completed Crowne Plaza Hotel.

This hotel is in the commercial and shopping district of the city, not far from the train station, and only five minutes walk to the beach.

Both sides are very particular about efficiency. After the banquet hosted by China Merchants at noon, the two sides will enter the stage of business talks in the afternoon.

In addition to the people from the China Merchants Bureau, Daocheng also sent people from the Commerce Bureau and the city government to participate. Lu's Catering also borrowed the advantages of Guangmei and Ginza in this respect.

In addition, the social status and political identity he strived for is also playing a role.

The certification and carrying committee in a certain place may not win much convenience, but it makes investment projects more credible.

Of course, when Lu Dong came here, he was going to invest.

In the large reception room of the hotel, people on both sides sat on one side and talked about the general direction of investment planning.

For Lu's Catering, besides Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing, Miao Yu and Xu Qin also participated.

The former will be in charge of the business in the peninsula area in the future, and the latter will establish contact with the media here to facilitate subsequent advertising.

As an investor, Lu Dong also introduced the detailed investment plan of Lu's Catering in detail.

In the next two years, Lu's Catering will take Daocheng City as the guide, cover all districts and counties in Daocheng, and open 30 stores.

Coming here, there are naturally corresponding plans. What Lu Dong said was only general: In addition, we also plan to build a warehouse and distribution center near the island city to the other two cities to cover the entire peninsula.

He naturally knew what Daocheng was most concerned about, and said: The estimated total investment is 30 million yuan, which can provide 500 jobs.

The deputy mayor who attended the meeting said: The catering industry is an important part of the island city's business sector, which is directly related to people's livelihood. We will provide convenient conditions for any enterprise that intends to invest in the island city...

To put it bluntly, everything is smooth and stable.

This kind of cliché is not meaningless, at least it shows an attitude of welcoming investment.

Then, Guangmei and Ginza also briefly introduced their own investment plans. It is similar to that in Quannan. Every district in the urban area will open stores and supermarkets one after another, and then develop to surrounding counties and cities.

To attract investment, Daocheng naturally has preferential conditions. Taxes, loans, and some corresponding transactional work will all be given the green light. Although the treatment of private enterprises is far inferior to that of foreign-funded enterprises, the official assistance can also help the three enterprises. Provide many conveniences.

In the next two days, Lv Dong and Du Xiaobing led Miao Yu and others to conduct more specific investment talks with Guangmei and Ginza people.

In addition to preferential policies, Daocheng has also taken many practical actions in business, such as providing a lot of business district data, such as providing shopping malls and commercial buildings currently available for lease in each district, and so on.

When Lu Dong came, Seventh Uncle once joked that if he was going to develop in another city, he would have to have a team of people with good weapons, so that he could go in and beat the local snakes to pieces.

But this is not gangs grabbing territory, and it is easier to open up the market by taking the official way of attracting investment.
