Volume 8, Chapter 73, Great Appetite
Qing Ruoli's attitude made Sha Zhengyang more alert, but he did not change his mind.
Feelings and marriage should be a matter of caution. One mistake is also an attitude that shows the other person's seriousness. Of course, Sha Zhengyang will not be casual. All the things in his previous life are also caused by various reasons, not what he wants. He will be more cautious in this life.
When Sha Zhengyang was still "talking love" with Qing Ruoli, Lu Ya had already taken her people to board the plane to Shenzhen for the second time.
Huawei and Foxconn.
This is the goal of the Hi-tech Zone.
It took only seventeen days for Lu Ya to get the utstarkang, and even Sha Zhengyang was amazed.
Of course there are some specific reasons here.
First, the Hi-tech Zone has a standard factory that was originally built next to the Science and Technology Innovation Park, but the original electronic tube factory went bankrupt. This company, which was still in the prosperous period five years ago, collapsed and put the factory area that was originally the new branch of the electronic tube factory, and the more it was released, it became more and more dilapidated. Now it can be used for UT Starkang manufacturing base.
The factory only needs simple renovation and renovation and can be used within one month. UT Starkan is now conquering the small Lingtong market with the support of China Telecom, and has a stand-alone battle with China Mobile. The market demand is huge, so one of their requirements is to form production capacity in the shortest time, and Handu High-tech Zone just can meet this requirement.
Before New Year's Day in 2000, UT Starkang's production base in Handu will be officially put into production, which requires Handu High-tech Zone to take over.
UT Starkang has some requirements, such as providing one-month free pre-work training for new employees with a number of up to 1,200 people or even 1,500 people. This means that even the recruitment of workers must be assisted by Handu Hi-Tech Zone, and also provide free employee dormitories for these workers, and providing no less than 50 free employee apartments for technical employees coming from Hangzhou.
Handu Hi-Tech Zone also gritted its teeth and took these conditions, which did not count other conditions such as land prices, water and electricity and tax incentives.
Of course, as a condition for return, Handu Hi-Tech Zone has also issued conditions to achieve an output value of 500 million yuan and an industrial added value of 150 million yuan in 2000, an output value of 1.2 billion yuan and an industrial added value of 300 million yuan in 2002, and an industrial added value of more than 2 billion yuan and an industrial added value of more than 450 million yuan.
But in fact, in private, the management of UTStarcom boasted arrogantly that in 2000, they would achieve an annual production of 2.5 million units of Xiaolingtong, second only to Hangzhou, which means that the output value may exceed 800 million yuan in the future, and the production capacity may exceed Hangzhou in the future, because both materials and salary levels here will be lower, and it is also close to the inland consumption hinterland, which may have greater demand than coastal areas.
If the Hi-Tech Zone had not accepted a large number of factory buildings and office buildings that had been bankrupt and discontinued in the early stages, it would have been for renovation to provide these companies with apartments and dormitories, I would not have dared to boast about this Haikou, but Sha Zhengyang and Ji Guoli both thought it was worth it for such a high price.
This is the first manufacturing enterprise to settle in the Hi-tech Zone, and the investment amount exceeds 35 million yuan.
Although the investment amount is actually not large, this type of enterprise can bring a considerable rich industrial chain.
More than 15 large and small enterprises that have provided supporting facilities for UT Starkang will settle in Handu one after another. Most of them will choose to settle in the high-tech zone and nearby development zones. This is another considerable investment, and it may not be lower than UT Starkang itself.
Of course, utstark may also set up suitable supporting manufacturers in local existing enterprises in Handu to make up for it.
Sha Zhengyang and Ji Guoli value this kind of driving ability.
The supporting industrial chain enterprises are basically enterprises such as plastics, molds, wires, glass panels, and electronic components. The implementation of these enterprises can provide huge supply support for more other companies that can be used in components in the next step, greatly enhancing the attractiveness of Handu in this type of industry.
Now the Hi-Tech Zone is making every effort to make preparations for the completion and production of UT Starkang production base.
The road has been basically renovated, and the factory area and standard factory buildings have also completed preliminary renovations. The first batch of 1,200 workers have been recruited, and three vocational and technical schools have respectively conducted preliminary training. At the same time, the first batch of 22 managers and technical staff of UT Starkon have also arrived in Handu to prepare for preliminary work.
The Hi-tech Zone and Economic Development Zone are also in full swing with the following supporting manufacturers. It is expected that most manufacturers will complete the entry negotiations within half a month and complete and put into production before the end of April.
However, this subsequent investment promotion and negotiation matters are no longer Lu Ya's job. Lu Ya has no interest in these not-so-challenging tasks, and she does not need her to connect specifically. Her goals have long been aimed at Huawei and Foxconn.
During the conversation with Sha Zhengyang, Lu Ya felt that Sha Zhengyang attached great importance to these two companies, and could even casually tell the early development history of these two companies and the situation of some management. Although it is necessary to understand these situations to attract investment, it is even more shocking to Lu Ya if you understand them thoroughly and meticulously.
This shows that Sha Zhengyang has put in special efforts to study these two companies. Although Huawei and Foxconn are also well-known now, they are still one level behind those companies such as Lenovo, Haier, ibm, and even Quanda and Renbao. However, Sha Zhengyang attaches completely different importance to these two companies.
Because of this, Lu Ya also attaches great importance to her trip to Shenzhen and is also well prepared.
"Director Lu, which one should we look for this time?" There were four people accompanying Lu Ya to fly to Shenzhen, two men and two women. The one who assisted Lu Ya was Song Zhichun, director of the second investment promotion department, and a capable woman three years older than Lu Ya.
When Lu Ya came, Song Zhichun was still a little dissatisfied, but Lu Ya only took two weeks to cleanly win UT Starkang, which completely convinced Song Zhichun.
She repeated the negotiation process with UT Starkang for this, believing that even if she was in Lu Ya's position, she would probably be difficult to do better. Lu Ya's attitude of striving for excellence in her work also surprised Song Zhichun.
"Zhichun, what do you think?" Lu Ya asked back.
"The two companies are not easy to deal with. Huawei's attitude is vague. They seem to be not very interested in establishing production bases in inland areas, but they are not without them at all. I guess even if they want to build them, they will transfer some mid- and low-end products here, so there is something to talk about. On Foxconn, they are still vigorously expanding in Shenzhen, and it is also very difficult to lead them to ours." Song Zhichun pondered: "But I think I still have to start with Huawei, because I think Foxconn has the intention of staring at Huawei."
"Oh? Where did you feel it?" Lu Ya looked at her assistant.
"I went to talk for two rounds last time, and they were not positive. Later, when we talked from Huawei and were about to leave, an assistant from their side came over to talk to me and asked about Huawei's attitude intentionally or unintentionally. I was a little surprised at that time, because at present, the products of the two companies are not in conflict, and there is not much connection. How could they be so interested in whether they settle down in Wuhan?"
Song Zhichun smiled and said, "Later, I learned through some channels that Huawei has poached many people from Foxconn. Although the product lines of the two do not overlap, there are overlaps in technical talents. Foxconn attaches great importance to Huawei's choice."
"If Huawei really set up a manufacturing base in Handu, wouldn't Foxconn be unwilling to go, because they might be afraid that they would also be poached in Handu?" Lu Ya asked back.
"No, I don't think so. Foxconn is said to have a very sound internal training and growth system. The set they brought from Taiwan is still very mature and practical. Huawei's poaching is actually a recognition of them, and they are quite proud of them. Moreover, Foxconn is large in scale. Although it is not satisfied with this type of poaching, it doesn't care much, because they can train and attract more technical personnel. However, Foxconn attaches great importance to some of Huawei's strategic direction choices. So if Huawei goes to Handu, then there is a high possibility of Foxconn going to Handu."
Lu Ya nodded with satisfaction. Song Zhichun's analysis and judgment ability was outstanding. She had to admit that Handu is Handu. Compared with Wanzhou, the quality and ability of cadres here is obviously higher than that of Wanzhou. There are really no few female cadres like Song Zhichun who understands economic work and has strong comprehensive abilities in all aspects.
"Then let's focus on Huawei." Lu Ya pondered for a moment, "Before coming, Mayor Sha and Huawei's President Ren had some communication on the phone. If necessary, Mayor Sha would come to Shenzhen in person to interview President Ren in the next round. However, in the early stage, we would conduct detailed consultations with Huawei on some links. Mayor Sha believed that Huawei was interested in Handu, but just felt that the motivation was insufficient, so we must fully demonstrate our inner advantages..."
Lu Ya's words were full of confidence. Huawei was not without intention, but believed that the conditions were immature and it was not cost-effective to move their manufacturing base to Han. Or they believed that even the mid- and low-end product lines were not very meaningful than staying in Shenzhen. Then this trip would prove and convince Huawei insiders to realize the value and significance of moving to Handu.
