At noon, Hu Yaoqing hosted a banquet for Song Yuanchao. In addition to Ke Dongsheng, Chi Yue, who was out on business in the morning, also rushed back in time.
The dinner lasted until three in the afternoon. A lot of conversation took place during the dinner. Song Yuanchao promised Hu Yaoqing that he would introduce him to two engineering teams that did earthwork and building construction, and help him check the design.
Hu Yaoqing originally planned to invite Song Yuanchao to dinner in the evening, but Song Yuanchao refused. He told Hu Yaoqing that he came with his wife and children and would have to accompany his wife and children when he returned. Hu Yaoqing laughed and said that Song Yuanchao was really a good man who cared about his family, so he would not force him.
First, he would spend two days with his wife and children in Lucheng, and then he would give a farewell banquet to Song Yuanchao and his family when they were ready to leave. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Lin Yan for a long time, so he took this opportunity to see her, and of course, Song Yuanchao's children.
He returned to the small building where he lived drunk. Lin Yan and the others had not returned yet. Song Chaoyuan took a shower, changed his clothes, picked up the phone and called Shao Heping, asking about his plans for tomorrow and asking Shao Heping to take some time out for a good chat tomorrow. Shao Heping agreed immediately on the phone, and the two of them agreed on a time. As soon as he hung up the phone, Lin Yan and the others came back.
Today, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia took the children to visit several places. Everyone had a great time. When they came back, they brought back some local specialties and fruits. The little ones each held a coconut and drank with relish.
After thanking Liu Hua and Sun Li for accompanying him, Song Yuanchao invited them to come in, have a cup of tea, and have dinner together. Liu Hua and Sun Li declined with a smile, and Song Yuanchao did not force them. He personally sent them to the car and told the driver to take them home.
Back in the house, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia sat on the sofa and chatted excitedly about the scenery they had enjoyed today. The children were laughing and playing beside them, creating a warm scene.
Song Yuanchao asked them with a smile where they had been today. Lin Yan told Song Yuanchao several places they had been to. She also took out her camera and said that she had taken a lot of photos, but the photos had not been developed yet. She would be able to see them after they were developed.
Lin Yan also said that they waited for a long time to take pictures at a scenic spot on the beach. There were too many people queuing there, and taking pictures there required money. Hearing this, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but feel a little familiar. When Lin Yan told Song Yuanchao the location and characteristics of the specific scenic spot, Song Yuanchao burst into laughter.
"I forgot about this place. By the way, are there really a lot of people there now?" Song Chaoyuan asked with a smile.
"Of course, it's the most famous scenic spot here. Locals say that if you come to Qiongdao and don't visit it, it's like coming in vain. I saw that the scenery is indeed beautiful and unique, but taking pictures costs money. We took a lot of pictures with the children, using our own camera and it cost more than 100 yuan."
"Haha! Hahaha!" Song Chaoyuan couldn't help laughing at this time, shaking his head while laughing. Lin Yan and Ying Caixia looked at Song Yuanchao who was laughing and were confused for a moment.
After laughing for a long time, Song Yuanchao told them the origin of this so-called tourist attraction. When they learned that this place was actually a man-made attraction created by Zhang Jian, and especially that the words on the large rocks on the beach were originally written by Zhang Jian himself with red paint and a brush, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia looked at each other, and after a moment they burst out laughing.
"Zhang Jian, this guy, actually has such a thing? Humph! When I see him again when I get back, I will have to have a good talk with him. There are so many things to do, but he has to do these crooked ways. By the way, Yuan Chao, why didn't I hear you mention this in advance?"
Of course Lin Yan knew Zhang Jian, they were alumni, and Zhang Jian was Song Yuanchao's roommate when they were at Imperial University of Peking. Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan were dating openly in college, so naturally she had met Zhang Jian.
"This is an old story from more than two years ago. Zhang Jian went to Yangcheng after he resigned. Later, he came to Lucheng by mistake. It turns out that Zhang Jian made his first fortune by taking photos there. This is what happened..." Facing Lin Yan and Ying Caixia's curiosity, Song Yuanchao smiled and told them how Zhang Jian came to Lucheng and how he figured out this trick. After Song Yuanchao finished, he smiled and said, "You just need to know about this, don't tell anyone else. This is also Zhang Jian's dark history. If this kid knows that I am exposing his past , he will definitely come to settle the score with me."
"We're not big mouths, don't worry." Lin Yan rolled her eyes at Song Yuanchao, while Ying Caixia nodded in understanding: "It's normal to say that. Who doesn't play tricks when doing business capital accumulation? Yuanchao, don't be the boss and criticize the second one. I remember that you guys were all different in the clothes hangers and college entrance examination review materials. Compared with Zhang Jian's case, everyone is about the same."
Song Yuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also admitted that Ying Caixia was right. Isn't this how the primitive accumulation of capital works? If he hadn't come back from the Northwest with Li Daqi and Gu Jie to start a clothes hanger business, and later dragged Qin Zhengguo to work on college entrance examination review materials, how could Shenghua exist today?
The same goes for Zhang Jian. What's more, his genius idea is indeed unexpected. From the photos taken by Lin Yan and the others today, it can be seen that if Zhang Jian had not given up because of local reasons, he would have had no problem making a living just by relying on this tourist attraction.
Now, Zhang Jian's company has become quite big. In the past two years, Zhang Jian has launched several personal medical devices, which have received very good feedback from the market, with sales increasing steadily and making a lot of money. In addition, Zhang Jian's company has also obtained domestic agency rights through cooperation with large overseas companies, and entered some local medical systems by forming a medical delegation model, thus obtaining orders.
Don't underestimate the pharmaceutical (medical devices, equipment) business, this business has always been high-profit and high-return. Zhang Jian entered this industry early, he has a good mind and courage. In just over a year, Zhang Jian's net worth has rapidly expanded like a balloon, and is no longer the same as before.
Taking photos was just an episode, but it added to the fun of the trip.
The next morning, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia took the children to continue their outing. Song Yuanchao took a bus to the city hall. When they arrived, they registered at the door. After making a phone call, Shao Heping's secretary came out in person to take Song Yuanchao in.
Because Lucheng has been a special economic zone for a short time, and the time for actual policies to be implemented and development to be confirmed is also short, the office conditions here are naturally not as good as when Shao Heping was in Gusu.
When they arrived at the office , Shao Heping was already waiting at the door. When he saw Song Yuanchao coming, he walked up to him with a smile on his face, shook hands with him, and then went in together.
This scene was seen by some people, and they were all curious about who Song Yuanchao was and how he could be received so warmly by Shao Heping. After Song Yuanchao and Shao Heping went in, a few people curiously asked Shao Heping's secretary about Song Yuanchao's background, but Shao Heping's secretary was tight-lipped, smiled and waved his hand without saying anything, and went to work in his small office on the side.
After entering the office, Song Yuanchao looked around. Shao Heping's office was very ordinary and the furniture inside was a bit old.
Shao Heping personally made a cup of tea for Song Yuanchao. The two sat down next to each other on the sofa and started talking.
Song Chaoyuan didn't beat around the bush and told him directly about Hu Yaoqing's situation. He also told him that he had met Hu Yaoqing yesterday. Hu Yaoqing had basically accepted his suggestion and would soon build a business district and a hotel in two locations in the city. Although the investment was not large, these two projects were real investments that would bring some benefits to the local economy.
"I know Hu Yaoqing, but I have never dealt with him." Shao Heping thanked Song Yuanchao first and then said this.
"You can interact with this person, but be careful of the degree when interacting with him. Things within the scope can be done, and things outside the scope should be told to him directly. If he can handle it himself, don't interfere." Shao Heping was not an outsider, so Song Yuanchao told him the truth.
Shao Heping somewhat understood what Song Yuanchao meant. He nodded silently, and then started chatting with Song Yuanchao about the construction of Lucheng.
"Brother Shao, Lucheng is different from Pengcheng. Pengcheng is close to Hong Kong, which has geographical advantages. In addition, the transportation between Pengcheng and the mainland is also very convenient. In addition, the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong has moved to the mainland due to cost reasons in recent years. This is the real reason why Pengcheng can succeed."
"Compared with Pengcheng, Lucheng has little advantage. Lucheng is on Qiongdao Island, and you need to cross the sea to get to Qiongdao from land. Apart from other issues, this transportation problem alone has greatly restricted Lucheng's development. In addition, Pengcheng has the advantages of geography and being close to the mainland, but Lucheng does not have this convenience."
"Yes, I understand this problem, so some things are difficult to do." Shao Heping sighed. Song Chaoyuan had just made the problem of Lucheng very clear, which was also an important factor restricting the development of Lucheng. Although the policy has been given now, and Lucheng has become lively all of a sudden because of the policy, in Shao Heping's position, what he sees is completely different from that of ordinary people.
Pengcheng's success is built on the enterprises that attract investment. Pengcheng's favorable geographical location and policies have made it the first choice for investors from Hong Kong and other places. Especially for the production cost reasons mentioned by Song Yuanchao, since the development of Pengcheng, various types of enterprises have invested in building factories in Pengcheng. Regardless of their size, these enterprises have brought practical benefits to Pengcheng. In addition, through the flow of talent and countless workers coming to Pengcheng from all over the country, Pengcheng has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.
But what about Lucheng? The gap between the two is very obvious. To be honest, Lucheng does not have the advantages of Pengcheng, and even if it has the best policies, it cannot become the second Pengcheng.
It is very difficult to achieve the same results in Lucheng as in Pengcheng. Since taking office, Shao Heping has thought a lot and conducted practical investigations, but the real situation tells him that it is simply impossible to copy the model of Pengcheng.
