Chapter 24: Striving (Part 2)
Lin Chenwan said with a smile: "This time your itinerary, in addition to a comprehensive inspection of our high-tech zone, also specially arranged special tourism and special food, as well as special cultural performances, I believe that you will be able to make Mr. George your trip worthwhile,"
"Really, that's great," Catherine looked a little excited, but then looked at Lin Chendui and asked, "Dear Lin, will you always be with us?"
Lin Chendui was about to shake his head, the new official took office, in addition to this visit by a world-renowned large company, he had a lot of things on his hands, which can be described as lacking skills, but looking at Catherine's blue eyes full of expectation, he couldn't help but scratch his head again, and said, "I'll try my best,"
Catherine giggled, and said with joy, "I want to go to the night market you took me to before, father, you don't know, it's interesting, there are so many people, and there are so many delicious and interesting ......."
Seeing Catherine dancing with her hands, Lin Chendui couldn't help sweating, when she was a student before, she had no money, so she could only take Catherine to the night market to play, the consumption here is cheap, I never thought that she would never forget it, but the night market in Dongping has long been banned by the municipal government, and it is good to ask if there is a night market in Wuxi.
George ignored Catherine, who was excited, shook the red wine glass in his hand, looked at the liquid as pure as agate, and said in a deep voice: "Lin, although I found it for you, but in the end, you can't reach the intention, don't have too much hope, after all, you also know that I can't see much of what can attract me here in Wuxi, although the relationship between us is not ordinary, but in business, I can't do anything that harms the interests of the company,"
When Lin Chendui heard this, it was like being poured a basin of cold water on the cold winter Layue, and he was cold from head to foot, and he also knew that compared to those big cities along the coast, Wuxi really didn't have anything to do, but the more this situation was, the more he had to find ways to solve this problem, otherwise, what was the difference between just knowing what to do and those officials who were doing nothing.
And he knows better that people like George, no matter how good their personal relationship is, they don't mix any personal feelings when they talk about business, and if they want to persuade him to invest and build a factory here in Wuxi, they must have reasons that can impress him.
Lin Chenwan said with a strong smile: "Mr. George, you said that there are not many places that can attract you here in Wuxi, it is because you do not know this city well enough, Wuxi is the science and technology center, business center, financial center and comprehensive transportation hub of western China, with unique conditions, and the development of the western region is now vigorously promoted and supported by our country, I believe that the western part of China is also included in your company's development plan,"
"Lin, you're right, the company does have a plan to enter western China, but it's just a plan, you know, besides, even if you really want to enter the west, you don't necessarily have to set up a factory in the west, you can also set up a branch or an office," George said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
Branch and factory, that is two completely different concepts, let's talk about it now, Intel has more than a dozen branches in China, but the factory only has one in the Yellow Sea, and the difference between the two can be seen.
Although Catherine really wants to help Lin Chendui speak, she seems to know her father's character very well, and she can't interfere in this kind of official business, so she can only look at the two of them with a blank eye, hoping that Lin Chendui can finally convince her stubborn and even somewhat stubborn father.
Lin Chenwan smiled and said firmly: "I believe that you will definitely choose to build a factory in Wuxi,"
"Oh, tell me your reasoning," asked George, with some interest.
"I have carefully studied that your Intel company's investment layout in China has always been closely related to the regional development strategy of the Chinese government, and you just wanted to take the 'Pudong Rise' as a free ride when you built a factory in the Yellow Sea, and now, you will naturally not miss it." The great opportunity of the western development, besides, your chip production plant in the Yellow Sea can not meet the domestic demand at all, let alone radiate the surrounding countries and regions, building a factory in Wuxi, not only can seize the western highlands, and take the lead in the competition with peers, but also can solve the problem of insufficient production capacity, reduce human resources and transportation costs, it can be described as a good thing, besides, we are building a high-tech industrial park in Wuxi, will concentrate many IT companies and midstream and downstream enterprises, forming an industrial chain, for the development of your company, is also a good thing……”
Before Lin Chenwan could finish speaking, he heard Catherine applaud and praised in surprise: "Lin, what you said is so good, it is almost the same as the market research report of my father and their company,"
Lin Chendui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he was relieved, since there is the same voice within Intel, it seems that it is not impossible to invest in and build a factory in Wuxi.
Seeing his daughter's elbow turned out, George couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Lin Chenwan with a smile: "Lin, Catherine is right, there is indeed this kind of voice within the company, but it is still unclear how it will be decided, besides, it is not necessarily necessary to choose Wuxi to seize the western beach, such as Heyang, for example, Shangfeng, are all good places,"
Lin Chenwan said with a smile: "Heyang in Huachuan and Shangfeng in Dongxin are indeed good, but they are not enough compared to Wuxi, besides, our high-tech zone is approved by the State Council, with preferential conditions and supporting measures that are not available in other places, and it is more suitable for the entry and development of world-renowned large enterprises like Intel."
"But how did I hear that there are many problems in your high-tech zone," George said with a meaningful smile.
Lin Chendui's face was slightly red, as if the person who was lying was exposed on the spot, and then said with a straight face: "Mr. George, what you said is right, there are indeed some problems in the early stage of the construction of the high-tech zone, but now it is being adjusted and improved, we sincerely hope that a large company like Intel can come here to invest and build a factory, but this is based on a win-win situation, not wishful thinking on the part of a certain party, I believe that the choice of the high-tech zone will not disappoint you,"
George looked at Lin Chen with a smile for a long time before he said: "Lin, I can trust you as a person, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way from the United States to you because of your letter, but investing in building a factory is a matter of great importance, and it is not something I can decide alone, so let's wait for the specific situation to make a decision after we have conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the high-tech zone,"
"It should be so," Lin Chenwan was a little disappointed, but he never thought that George would make any promises so casually, and the main purpose of his coming over tonight was not to talk about investment, but just to get in touch with feelings.
"Dear Lin, take me out to play," Catherine said as she shook Lin Chendu's arm when she saw that they were done talking.
Lin Chendui smiled and said: "No, it's too late, and you have come all the way, and you have worked hard all the way, rest early, and I will take you out tomorrow to have a good time,"
Although Catherine was unwilling, she still smiled and said: "Then you have to talk about it, don't be like my father who is always untrustworthy in his word, and often can't do what he promised me," and then pouted and glared at George dissatisfied.
George wiped his nose, smiled, and said to Lin Chendui: "Lin, don't make a promise to Catherine, she is very serious, if you can't do it, it's strange if she doesn't annoy you to death,"
Lin Chenwan glanced at Catherine and said with a smile, "No,"
……
The next morning, in the No. 2 conference room on the second floor of the management committee, the oval conference table was full of flowers and greenery, Lin Chendui formally met with the members of the delegation here, and gave them a general explanation of the various situations and investment policies of the high-tech zone, and after that, there will be a special person to accompany them to conduct a comprehensive and careful investigation and understanding of the high-tech zone.
"According to the plan, the high-tech zone will follow the idea of 'large projects, large enterprises, large clusters, and large industries', cultivate and expand advantageous industries and potential industries, introduce export-oriented enterprises, create an efficient and thoughtful service platform, and strive to provide good development opportunities for all enterprises that come to the high-tech zone to invest and build factories......"
Lin Chenwan looked at the future of the high-tech zone with a flying expression, his speech was very inflammatory, especially the eight advantages were vividly expounded, it seemed that every sentence spoke to everyone's heart, although the spoken language was not very standard and fluent, but it also won everyone's extremely warm applause, and also made them full of curiosity about Lin Chendui, a young official, and asked each other about his situation.
Tang Ning on the side seemed to be a little surprised, she came back from studying abroad, English is naturally not a problem, originally thought of acting as a translator for Lin Chendui, but never thought that Lin Chendui's English is also very fluent, although it is not as good as herself, but the subdued and passionate impromptu speech also makes her ashamed.
What's more, Lin Chendui seems to have a plan for the development plan of the high-tech zone, and the blueprint prospect depicted is even more fascinating, even if she can't help but be attracted by it, after working in the high-tech zone for so many years, she still has a clearer positioning and planning for the first time in the high-tech zone.
But why hasn't he ever mentioned it to everyone, and it seems that such an idealized thing can really be realized, if it was some time ago, she might have doubted it, but Lin Chendui was able to invite such a few Fortune 500 companies this time, which had to make her reassess Lin Chendui's energy.
