Chapter 612 Talk about conditions
5173's R&D center still has the Licheng Information sign, but except for Zhang Bingxin, the new R&D team has almost no connection with Jinhua.
Whether from his daughter or through Dong Qifeng's introduction, Yan Wengang has already gained a new understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, but when he arrives in Yanjing, he has to find out about it on the spot to be relieved.
Yan Wen was about to go to the new R&D center of 5173, so Chen Qiaoshan naturally had to accompany him in person.
When he arrived at the scene, Yan Wengang was a little disappointed because there was really nothing to watch.
It is said to be a R&D center, but it is actually a three-bedroom hiding in a residential building, which looks like more than 100 square meters, but the furniture has been completely cleared long ago and is now filled with more than a dozen workstations. Looking at the row of computers, if it weren't for Chen Qiaoshan's accompanying him, Yan Wengang would have felt that he had entered a black Internet cafe.
"Is this the company's R&D center?" Yan Wengang is not guilty of suspicion. Last time, his son from his sister-in-law's house skipped school and went online, and he was pulled by Su Qiong to find people all over the street. Black Internet cafes are the primary goal. In Yan Wengang's opinion, many black Internet cafes in Dengzhou have better conditions than this.
It was the first time Chen Qiaoshan came back, but he was no wonder.
In Zhongguancun, workshop-style entrepreneurs are everywhere, and the conditions here are definitely not the worst, at least it is more than 100 square meters, so there is no need to worry about demolition at any time.
Dong Qifeng is the landlord here. Seeing that Yan Wengang was a little suspicious, he explained: "Director Yan, this is just a temporary transition. The company's early funds are relatively tight, and the money is spent on upgrading the system's software and hardware. As for the office environment, everything is simple."
Chen Qiaoshan added: "Uncle Yan, although the conditions are a little bad, the employees' abilities are definitely one of the best. Many of them are programmers from prestigious universities, and the financing has been basically finalized. The R&D center cannot stay here all the time. We will continue to expand the scale in the next step, and we cannot accommodate it here. We will definitely relocate to the surrounding industrial parks."
Yan Wengang didn't ask anything more. He knew only about the Internet, but 5173 could get 10 million US dollars in financing, so it would definitely not be as simple as it seems.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the news is indeed credible. Although Yan Wengang was repeatedly guaranteed by his daughter, he was still a little confused.
Dengzhou's per capita GDP in 2003 was less than 7,000 yuan, and 10 million US dollars was almost equivalent to 1% of the city's GDP.
Yan Wengang also carefully considered that with a valuation of 51733 million US dollars, if it can be moved to Dengzhou, it will definitely become the largest Internet company in Henan Province. In addition, the first phase will provide 300 jobs and a long-term plan for nearly 2,000 people. Once it is formed, it will definitely be a good thing for Dengzhou's economy.
Looking at the R&D center nestled in a private house and listening to the expansion plan that Dong Qifeng said, Yan Wengang felt a little distorted because the reality and vision plans seen in front of him were really far from each other.
Dong Qifeng got an explanation and knew that Director Yan was very likely to be responsible for the introduction of 5173's project in Dengzhou, so he remained the same.
Yan Wengang wanted to talk to Chen Qiaoshan alone, but he was struggling to find no opportunity.
Until noon approached, Dong Qifeng started to arrange the arrangements for the afternoon. Yan Wengang didn't want to wait any longer, so he said, "Mr. Dong, I haven't seen each other for a long time. We agreed in the morning to go to the Peking University cafeteria at noon, why don't we make an appointment another day?"
"Director Yan, I have already booked a seat, why not call Miss Yan together?" Dong Qifeng was a little embarrassed. After saying that, he looked at Chen Qiaoshan's expression again. When his father-in-law is here, can't he really let others eat in the cafeteria?
Chen Qiaoshan didn't say anything, he didn't think there was any problem. Peking University canteen was also very popular and was often visited by people outside the school. Besides, Yan Wengang likes to drink two cups, but he can't accompany him.
"No need to worry, the girl still has classes in the afternoon, so she will definitely not be able to leave. I have to pay her time." Yan Wengang was determined and finally turned down the invitation at noon.
Dong Qifeng could leave, but Chen Qiaoshan couldn't leave, so he had to accompany Yan Wengang to Peking University.
Chen Qiaoshan did not dare to show off and asked Jia Aiguo to send the two to the east gate, so he took Yan Wengang out of the car.
Yan Xiaoqin had already received the news and was waiting. When she saw the two of them arrived, she smiled and said, "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for a long time."
Yan Wengang looked at his watch and said, "It's only been a quarter of an hour since he called you. You are so old and you are still so impatient."
"Dad." Yan Xiaoqin angrily said dissatisfiedly, but neither the father nor the daughter cared much.
Unlike the Chen family, the Yan family has only three people, and Su Qiong is strict in charge, but Yan Wengang is a kind father and the relationship between father and daughter is very good.
Yan Wengang was not really here to eat in the cafeteria. Without outsiders present, he naturally asked about the situation at the dinner table, "Xiao Chen, tell me the truth, is it reliable to settle in Dengzhou?"
Chen Qiaoshan knew that sooner or later there would be nothing to hide. He said bluntly: "Uncle Yan, I don't hide it from you. I will definitely move to move."
He gave Yan Wengang a reassurance first. Chen Qiaoshan changed the subject and continued: "But there are indeed problems in the middle. For 5173, Dengzhou is not the best choice. If you don't mention it, just talk about Nanyang. From all aspects, the conditions must be better than Dengzhou, let alone Zhengzhou and Luoyang."
Chen Qiaoshan pushed open the plate casually and didn't continue talking. Some days have not come, and I have eaten too much delicious food outside, and I feel that the taste of the canteen is really almost interesting.
Yan Wengang didn't think about food. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Since that's the case, why did you move the company to Dengzhou?"
Chen Qiaoshan put down the chopsticks in his hand, calmed down, and said seriously: "Uncle Yan, to be bigger, I am from Dengzhou, and going back to my hometown to invest is called rewarding my hometown. To put it in a smaller way, the Chen family's roots are in Dengzhou, which can be considered as leaving a way out for himself."
Yan Wengang also came out of the grassroots level, so he could not fool him in a few simple words. "Since that's the case, why do you have to compare Dengzhou with other places? Do you want to bargain with me?"
"How can it be?" Chen Qiaoshan certainly couldn't recognize it. "I believe Dong Qifeng has already said the current situation of the company. Our requirements are actually not high. 5173 is an Internet company. I hope the government can ensure power supply and provide good network supporting facilities."
Chen Qiaoshan knew very well that these two things were lifebloods for an Internet company these days.
Due to the 1997 financial crisis, the domestic economy declined and the electricity supply was once oversupply.
The government introduced regulatory measures to this end, completely stopping the construction of hydropower projects. As a result, the economy became warmer and the power gap became larger and larger. At the worst, Haidian began to shut down the power limit. In Yanjing, this was the case, and the situation in other places can be imagined.
"Those are the requirements?" Yan Wengang was obviously a little suspicious.
Attracting investment has always been the top priority for governments at all levels. In order to boost political achievements, there are relevant procedures to follow from land policies to tax burden reductions and exemptions, and the more local governments are, the easier it is to ask for prices.
In his original opinion, Yan Wengang hopes to promote this investment. If the agreement is reached, it will definitely boost the local economy. However, subconsciously, he does not want to see Chen Qiaoshan suffer losses, but he is not easy to say it explicitly, and his mind is very complicated.
Chen Qiaoshan is aware of the current efforts of governments at all levels to attract investment, but Yan Wengang currently has limited voice in Dengzhou and is only suitable to be an intermediary for the time being. The specific conditions are better to leave them on the negotiating table, so as not to expose his relationship with the Yan family in the future and cause unnecessary criticism.
"Uncle Yan, business is business. We will not be polite about the policies we should give, and we will never extend our hands if we shouldn't want them. Don't worry about this." Chen Qiaoshan's words were not vague. He was not doing charity, and it was for the benefit of the end.
