To the east of the Brilliant Stars Plaza is the Han River, where there used to be a large number of sand-dredging boats, but now they have disappeared and have been replaced by the Xiaguang Water Life Yacht Club. Unconsciously, this has become the largest concentration of luxury cars and yachts in Huainan.
In ancient times, Hanzhou relied on the Han River to become a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. The famous people at that time were proud to come to Hanzhou to spend money. At that time, there were various flower boats and pleasure boats parked on the banks of the ancient Han River. Now, they have been replaced by luxury yachts, becoming a leisure place for the rich and famous.
The Water Life Yacht Club was invested and built by several wealthy young men in Huainan. It brings together more than 70 private luxury yachts of various types. The cheapest yacht costs more than one million yuan.
Although it is not a holiday, luxury sports cars are still seen going in and out of the parking lot of the management building. This is a gathering place for the wealthy, so there is no difference between weekdays and weekends.
The development of the Qiong-Han integration project has deviated from the original intention of the designer. It was originally thought that this place would be designed to be a bridge between Qiongjin and Hanzhou, serving the citizens of Hanzhou and Qiongjin. However, it has been proved that the Qiong-Han integration has become a wealthy area in Huainan because of its advanced design concept and complete surrounding facilities.
This is understandable. The iconic project that Hongda Group spent a lot of effort to create naturally attracted the attention of a large number of financiers. The companies that participated in the same-city alliance at the beginning alone are a powerful consumer group.
It is said that the first batch of villas in HuSe Villa was sold out within less than a month after it was launched. The second phase of the project was just pre-sold, and the sales center was packed with people. People lined up in the early morning, and scalpers sold a reservation number for 20,000 yuan.
Although the surrounding residential and commercial shops are hot, Hongda Group still maintains the original price when selling, and has not significantly increased the price due to market demand. Hongda Group's low-price strategy is also the main reason why the citizens of Hanzhou and Qiongjin are crazy now. Because everyone knows that the price of the secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee is also the same, and there is no preferential treatment.
Song Wendi has spared no effort to promote the Qiong-Han integration project. In order to create momentum, Hongda Group filmed the entire process of his purchase of Lakeside Villa at the sales center, and edited it into a promotional video, which was played on the LCD monitor in the sales hall interspersed with the original commercials.
Everyone knows that this is Song Wendi's tacit agreement. With the secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee acting as the spokesperson for HuSe Villa for free, it would be strange if HuSe Villa's sales were not booming.
The development of the integration of Qiong and Han can be said to be changing with each passing day. This is a purely business way of operation. Time is money. Various supporting projects must be completed as soon as possible before profits can be generated.
Compared with half a year ago, this place has undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, when Fang Zhicheng led Lu Hongtu's team to investigate the feasibility of smart cities, he felt a little dazed for a moment.
Lu Hongtu brought four disciples from Yanjing to Hanzhou. From his expression, it can be seen that he was surprised and excited about the integration of Qiong and Han.
"Two years ago, I came to Hanzhou for research, collected some materials, and submitted an analysis report to the State Council on the development of multi-city integration across the country. At that time, I came to the conclusion that the integration of Qiong and Han has certain risks, because the city operators are borne by enterprises. If risks are encountered, these city operators will directly withdraw funds, which will cause great pressure on the government. From the actual operation situation, I worry too much." Lu Hongtu sat in a coffee shop, shook his head and laughed at himself.
"President Lu, you are right to worry. Therefore, in the process of implementing the intra-city project, we must first find a responsible and capable enterprise. The reason why Huainan Province has made the intra-city project so successful is that it adopted a fair, just and open approach in the process of finding enterprises. That's why we were able to recruit an excellent enterprise like Hongda Group." Fang Zhicheng smiled and glanced at Zhao Qingya who was sitting next to him, and greeted Lu Hongtu.
Lu Hongtu laughed and said, "That's right. It's mainly because Chairman Zhao is a heroine and very courageous. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to create such a miracle in such a short time."
Originally, Lu Hongtu thought that when he came to Hanzhou to evaluate the feasibility of smart cities, he could only meet a deputy general manager of Hongda Group at most. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingya accompanied him in person. If only a deputy general manager received his team, the evaluation would be greatly discounted, because different management levels have different perspectives. From Zhao Qingya, Lu Hongtu could have a deeper understanding of Hongda's strength.
Zhao Qingya smiled modestly and said, "President Lu, you may think too highly of me. I originally wanted to give it a try. If the integration of Qiong and Han is not smooth, Hongda Group has already left a few ways to get out. During the construction of the project, when raising funds, we adopted the form of corporate alliance, linking together almost all the capable private enterprises in Huainan. Therefore, the integration of Qiong and Han is closely connected with almost all enterprises in the province."
Lu Hongtu nodded and said with emotion: "This is the idea of capital operation. The cake is so big that one company cannot eat it all. Everyone can have a share. Win-win cooperation is the right thing to do."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Sister Ya, you have seen what a real expert is, right? I have introduced you to a talent. If you can hire President Lu as Hongda's strategic advisor and build a century-old enterprise, what difficulty will there be?"
Zhao Qingya immediately understood what Fang Zhicheng meant when he said this. What kind of person is Lu Hongtu? Regardless of his relationship with the country's leaders, he has many high-end talents in his hands just by virtue of his status as the dean of the National Development Research Institute of Yenching University. Huainan can no longer satisfy the ambition of Hongda Group, and the next step is to enter the national market and even go abroad to compete with other multinational companies.
Lu Hongtu is a very modest and low-key person, but the resources he can mobilize are what many companies dream of. Fang Zhicheng asked Zhao Qingya to accompany him not only to evaluate the matter, but also to let Lu Hongtu feel the pulse of Hongda Group.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's smiling face, Lu Hongtu knew his intentions. It would definitely be inappropriate for him to serve as a consultant to Hongda Group with his identity. He smiled and said, "If you really want to serve as a strategic consultant, you must live up to your position. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of Chairman Zhao. It's just that I'm old now and settled in Yanjing. The academy still has a lot of tedious things to do. However, I have a few disciples who are very capable and suitable for corporate development..."
Zhao Qingya smiled when she heard Lu Hongtu say that, and said, "I'll have the group's human resources staff contact you later."
As a mentor, it is not only their job to teach their students, but also to find a good place for them. Although Hongda Group has not yet been ranked among the top enterprises in the country, it is now in a good momentum. As long as the Qionghan integration project achieves substantial breakthroughs, it will take the lead in the future.
The topic only needs to be touched upon, and the rest is private contact. Lu Hongtu glanced at the female disciple on his right and said with a smile: "He Ting, you can ask some questions about smart cities now."
He Ting is a doctoral student supervised by Lu Hongtu. She is about 25 years old and has a pretty baby face, but her behavior and movements seem mature. With the popularization of education, undergraduates and postgraduates have become too common, but doctors are still elite and extremely rare.
She took out a notebook from her bag and asked some of the questions she had prepared in advance. The questions were very simple, just like ordinary street questionnaires, but Fang Zhicheng knew that the simpler the questionnaire, the more it could prove the level of the person who made it.
Questionnaires are designed specifically for ordinary people. The real conclusive language can only be obtained by comprehensively analyzing the distribution of answers in the questionnaire using scientific methods.
In less than a quarter of an hour, He Ting finished the questionnaire for Fang Zhicheng and Zhao Qingya. Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "You should combine work and rest. You should also relax after work. I have booked a yacht. Let's take a cruise on the Han River."
After boarding the luxury yacht of Hongda Group, Lu Hongtu whispered a few words to the waiter on the boat. He laughed dumbly and shook his head. Fang Zhicheng leaned close to Zhao Qingya's ear and whispered, "He must be surprised by the waiter's salary."
Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "He is the dean of a college, how can you make him sound so petty?"
Fang Zhicheng laughed at himself and said, "A waiter's annual salary is over 100,000 yuan, and he can also receive tips on a regular basis. Not only is he jealous, I am jealous too. My monthly salary is only over 3,000 yuan, including the year-end bonus, which is not as good as the waiter's salary."
Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "If you are willing to work with me, I will give you 10% of Hongda's shares, but I'm afraid you won't be happy about it. The salary of the waiters on this yacht cannot be low, because they usually come into contact with some wealthy people. Only by providing them with enough salary can we remain calm when facing these wealthy people."
Fang Zhicheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, then sighed, "You have a point. It is unreasonable to let a waiter with a monthly salary of only 1,000 yuan serve a wealthy man worth over 100 million yuan."
The integration of Qiong and Han was progressing well, but it became a place of debauchery where rich people gathered, and Fang Zhicheng couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Chapter 0865 Strategic Emerging Industries
The head of the Southern Tour has a point of view that has a profound impact on all officials in China, that is, the theory of making some people rich first. People are different, and only by allowing some people to enjoy the benefits of reform first can the living standards of other people in society be improved.
This is the case with the Qiong-Han Metropolitan Integration Experimental Zone, where the first batch of settlers were all upper-class people from Qiongjin and Hanzhou. This is also the deliberate guidance of Hongda Group when promoting the project.
When some rich people are willing to live here, they will gradually lead a group of people to settle down. The rich enjoy various services in the Qiong-Han Urbanization Experimental Zone, and there must be someone to provide services. Take the employees on the yacht as an example. They are all ordinary people. Working here can get twice the salary compared to other places. Although it is still difficult to settle here now, when the wealth accumulates to a certain level and is enough to buy a house, they will also buy a house here.
It is foreseeable that in the next five to ten years, the Qiong-Han urban integration experimental zone located in the southwest of Hanzhou will become a link connecting Qiongjin and Hanzhou, and become a new city with a large influx of population.
The team Lu Hongtu brought was very professional. They not only conducted an in-depth assessment of the economic structure and the current cultural level, but also selected citizens and officials for investigation. They stayed in Qiongjin and Hanzhou for nearly half a month before hurriedly returning to Yanjing. Judging from Lu Hongtu's attitude, he has strong confidence in developing smart cities in the Qionghan Metropolitan Pilot Zone and will complete a thorough evaluation report as soon as possible.
With a scientific and rigorous evaluation report, the smart city will be more confident in the later implementation process.
Smart city is an unfamiliar field. Although I have spent a lot of effort on it, I don’t have enough theoretical knowledge after all. Theory cannot be separated from practice, but practice must also be based on theory. That’s why Fang Zhicheng introduced the Lu Hongtu team.
Lu Hongtu's condition was that his team must join the designers of the smart city, which Fang Zhicheng did not refuse. Fang Zhicheng also understood Lu Hongtu's idea. He valued smart cities as the next trend of national development, so he wanted to enter this field faster and get first-hand materials, so that he could have more detailed research materials than competing teams such as Shuimu University and Yunhai University.
