Chapter 692 Foreign Investment Industrial Park
After Ye Tao finished speaking briefly, Zhang Haobo next to him also spoke and told the matter in detail.
In fact, the reason why there is a task of 5 billion this year is that there is also a large-scale project launched in Nanhu Province three years ago: the foreign-funded high-tech enterprise industrial park.
At that time, Nanhu Province was in a period of rapid development, and even the whole country was in a period of rapid development. Because China had a large population, a huge market, and a cheap labor force, it really attracted the attention of a large number of large multinational groups.
In those two years, a large number of foreign-invested enterprises settled in China, opening branches, factories, etc., and any places that were favored by foreign-invested enterprises were vigorously developed, with per capita income increasing, business circles expanding, employment opportunities increasing, profits and taxes increasing significantly... In short, there are too many benefits.
Therefore, Nanhu Province also took this into consideration and started to build a foreign-funded high-tech enterprise industrial park. First, it was to carry the phoenixes attracted by the sycamore tree, and second, it was to help foreign investment more conveniently. At that time, this project was favored by everyone.
But plans are always worse than changes. Last year, the financial crisis swept the world, and a large number of companies went bankrupt. Even those multinational groups had to lock in money and focus on self-protection. All of the cooperation intentions signed at the time were ruined.
As a result, there were very few foreign-funded industrial parks that cost nearly 2 billion yuan to build.
When the industrial park was designed, it was designed with more than 700 companies entering the market. Now, there are less than 200 companies successfully entering, and more than half of them were invested by domestic companies, which is completely contrary to the original idea of attracting foreign investment.
Nowadays, a large number of factories and office buildings in the park are empty, and the government has to bear various management expenses. It can be said that the entire industrial park has been in a state of loss, let alone recovering funds.
In this way, this profit and tax project, which was originally planned as a new one, has now become a huge burden and is weighing on the entire provincial government.
Therefore, this year, the provincial government is determined to change this situation and will be subject to administrative orders to the Provincial Department of Commerce, and it is necessary to attract enough foreign-invested enterprises to settle in the industrial park to change its current dilemma.
After listening to Zhang Haobo's explanation, Zhang Kun finally got to know something, but Zhang Kun frowned slightly: "It's a good thing to turn the situation around, but this step is too big, with an investment of 5 billion yuan a year."
As he said that, Zhang Kun shook his head, his face full of confusion.
"In theory, it is a good thing for the government to have this determination, but the food must be eaten in one bite, and you cannot just want to become a fat man. Otherwise, the fat man may not become a fat man, but he will eat his stomach too much. Isn't it more appropriate to divide the goal of 5 billion into two or three years?"
"And I don't believe it if I directly use administrative orders to suppress 5 billion yuan, and everyone is not disgusted."
"Everyone wants to do things well, but there is always a range of ability. If you exceed your ability, you can't do it or not."
Zhang Kun's complaints made Zhang Haobo smile bitterly, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed his eyes. In the end, he still looked at Ye Tao.
Ye Tao finally smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "Next year will be the Fifth National People's Congress of the 16th."
"The Fifth National People's Congress of the 16th?" Zhang Kun was stunned, but his face was puzzled. What does this have to do with the industrial park project?
Seeing that Zhang Kun was still confused, and Ye Tao had already spoken, Zhang Haobo sighed lightly and finally explained: "That's right, it's the Fifth National People's Congress of the 16th."
"There are rumors that Governor Du Hao will probably go further at this NPC meeting, so before the term change next year, the projects of foreign-funded industrial parks must have a perfect ending."
"I don't want to be prosperous, but at least I can't give others a chance to speak."
Speaking of this, Zhang Haobo looked at Zhang Kun deeply: "This foreign-funded industrial park is the first large-scale project that Governor Du Hao has just taken office after taking office."
I understood, and finally understood completely. Zhang Kun suddenly realized.
Some things that people who don’t understand can’t understand, but if you put it bluntly, it’s actually very simple.
Three years ago, Governor Du Hao had just taken office and discovered the prospects of foreign investment. Later, he insisted on taking over the projects of the industrial park of foreign-funded enterprises. However, the opportunity was not good later, and he encountered the global financial crisis in the second year.
As a result, the newly built foreign-funded industrial park did not die, but at least it did not reach the expected level, and even suffered losses every year, which became a huge burden for the Nanhu Provincial Government.
Now, the change of leadership is about to be held next year, and there is a vague rumor that Governor Du Hao may take a step further this time, so there must be groundless reasons.
Since Governor Du Hao may take a step further next year, he will not talk about the relationship between up and down, but at least he must make his resume without any stains and will not become a handle for others to attack and annihilate.
That's why Governor Du Hao has been so vigorously in the reform of foreign-funded industrial parks this year, and even issued administrative orders.
And with such cause and effect, although the people below were also very troubled by the pressure of 5 billion, no one dared to disobey the situation.
There is a saying in the officialdom that killing a person's future is like killing his parents.
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is the truth.
So if this industrial park may be related to Governor Du Hao's progress, then if anyone dares to disobey the situation, Governor Du Hao will definitely not stingy in taking action.
After Zhang Haobo finished speaking, Ye Tao also sighed: "That's right, that's it. Because this matter has already affected Comrade Du Hao, it's not convenient for me to say anything. In the entire Nanhu Province, unless Secretary Xu speaks, no one can do it."
"So, since there is no way, I can only work hard to complete it, so I thought of you."
"I remember you have a good relationship with some companies on Hong Kong Island, so I want to see what you can do and whether you can attract some investment."
"But I think 200 million should be no problem for you." As he said that, Ye Tao showed a sarcastic look to Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun looked at Hao Ran, knowing that Ye Tao was talking about the last time he boasted that if the Chi family dared to withdraw funds, he would be able to find 5 billion yuan in funds to make up for it.
However, Zhang Kun's face quickly returned to normal. He did not say whether he agreed or not, but frowned and asked, "But, is Hong Kong capital considered foreign capital?"
Ye Tao smiled at this: "In principle, it should not count. After all, Hong Kong Island has returned to the mainland for more than ten years. However, there are no formal regulations on the characterization of Hong Kong capital, so local governments have always treated Hong Kong capital through foreign investment policies to attract investment."
"What's more, it's time now. Who cares about Hong Kong capital or not? As long as you can attract investment?"
"So that's it!" Zhang Kun nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ye Tao and Zhang Haobo: "Okay, 200 million, I'll try it, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed. In short, I'll give you news within three days."
Hearing Zhang Kun's words, Zhang Haobo was stunned at first, then looked ecstatic, stood up and held Zhang Kun's hand and shook it repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you..."
