Fang Zhicheng didn't eat much, so when he had almost finished, he stood up and walked to the inner room. The State Council Information Office was recently short of two external press officers. Hua Qingwen's qualifications met the requirements, and as long as he repackaged his image, he would be qualified to compete for this position.
Although Fang Zhicheng was used to Hua Qingwen as his secretary, he knew that since he was a talent, he should make the best use of him. He originally planned to find him a position at the grassroots level to let him slowly settle down and accumulate experience, but after comprehensive consideration, he might as well start from the central government to give him a good springboard, so that he could start faster than ordinary people.
After lunch, around 3 o'clock, Fang Zhicheng was invited by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to participate in a survey on rural e-commerce. E-commerce has developed rapidly in the past two years, and cross-border e-commerce and rural e-commerce have become very popular. Therefore, the Caoyao Municipal Development and Reform Commission knew that the leaders in charge had studied this in depth, so they deliberately formulated several policies in this regard and built a rural e-commerce park in Qiaoshan Town, Deshan District.
Originally, this e-commerce park was a shoe and clothing manufacturing factory. Later, the investor went bankrupt and mortgaged it to the bank. Now the government has taken it over and handed it over to a businessman from southern Fujian through subcontracting. The businessman from southern Fujian transformed it into an e-commerce park and applied for the national e-commerce demonstration park.
Fang Zhicheng's purpose of this trip was to find out whether he was qualified.
Chapter 1028 Daqin E-commerce Park
Deshan was changed from a county to a district in 1996, but its economic development has not kept up. Compared with other counties and districts, there is a big gap, which can be seen from the construction of bus roads. After coming down from the provincial road, there are potholes everywhere. Some roads are closed to traffic, with barrier signs and iron railings, and construction teams are busy.
The new director of the Development and Reform Commission was Zhao Wubiao, a cadre Fang Zhicheng had just promoted. The former director of the Development and Reform Commission was Xue Fulian's confidant, and after he had secured his position, he would naturally place someone he liked in a key position. In politics, there is a saying that there is a set plate, and Fang Zhicheng is already very familiar with this method.
Zhao Wubiao is quite capable. He was originally the deputy director of the Municipal Economic and Information Commission, and now he has become the director of the Development and Reform Commission. He has made a practical leap, so he is full of energy. The Deshan District E-commerce Park is a project he is focusing on, so he has always wanted to invite Fang Zhicheng to the site to take a look, so that he can start work in the future.
Zhao Wubiao saw Fang Zhicheng's bad face and was secretly anxious. He explained in a low voice: "This road has a lot of traffic and has not been repaired for many years. It is being rebuilt recently. They want to expand it to six lanes and add a separation strip in the middle."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Transportation construction is the top priority of urban planning. Only when transportation is convenient and developed can the development of other economies be driven. If we want to do a good job in rural e-commerce, building an industrial park alone will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It will only become a political achievement project. We must work hard on other facilities."
Zhao Wubiao blushed and nodded quickly, saying, "Mayor Fang, you are right!"
The Coaster slowly stopped and people walked out one after another. Chen Taiyang, secretary of the Deshan District Committee, and Zhao Xi, district head, walked at the front of the welcoming team. Fang Zhicheng shook hands with Chen Taiyang first. Chen Taiyang smiled and introduced, "This is Mr. Qin Yintang, chairman of the Daqin E-commerce Industrial Park."
Fang Zhicheng shook hands with Qin Yintang. He was a little surprised that Qin Yintang was very young, about 35 years old. Qin Yintang said enthusiastically: "Welcome Mayor Fang and his party to visit us."
Qin Yintang was half a body ahead, Fang Zhicheng moved slightly back and began to inspect the Daqin E-commerce Park.
Daqin E-commerce Park mainly consists of three parts: production and manufacturing area, e-commerce area, and leisure supporting area. The production and manufacturing area is mainly a standard time factory building, and all the shoe and clothing manufacturing factories in Deshan District will be relocated here in the future; the e-commerce area is a nearly 20-story building, which mainly serves the factory and sells the factory's goods through e-commerce in a trusteeship manner; the leisure supporting area includes employee dormitories, supermarkets, cafes, shopping malls and other entertainment facilities.
From the perspective of professionalism, Daqin E-Commerce Park is still very standardized and is a smaller incubation park than the Information Industry Base in Xiaguang District, Hanzhou.
Qin Yintang wanted to lead Fang Zhicheng to the building, but Fang Zhicheng did not cooperate with him. He stood in front of the factory for a long time and asked, "Boss Qin, how many factory buildings have been sold now?"
Chen Taiyang said quickly: "Five have been sold, and three are still to be determined."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "I took a rough look. You have built more than 20 independent factories. Even if you have eight customers as you said, those more than a dozen independent factories will be vacant. This is a waste of resources."
Qin Yintang didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so sensitive. He pointed out the embarrassment of the Daqin E-commerce Park in one sentence and said, "We are working hard to attract investment. I believe that in at most half a year, the occupancy rate of the factory will reach more than 80%!"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand without saying much. Qin Yintang knew that Fang Zhicheng didn't quite believe his promise.
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment, glanced at Qin Yintang, and gave his own suggestions, "Your model can be called the F2C model, that is, the model in which the factory sells directly to customers. There is no dealer to make a profit, so customers can get the lowest price of goods. It is a relatively new business model in the world. The strategy is not wrong, but the method needs to be improved. Your standard factory covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters. Judging from the current situation in Deshan District, only a few factories have this demand. Therefore, in the process of attracting investment, you can only turn your target to other places, which is very difficult."
Qin Yintang nodded in admiration and said with a smile: "Mayor Fang, your analysis is correct."
Fang Zhicheng continued: "So the standard factory buildings have to be further divided into several small blocks and subdivided and classified according to the industry."
This is like some commercial plazas, where tens of thousands of square meters are divided into small pieces of shops, so that similar shops can be placed in the same area, which can effectively attract people. At the same time, the rent is shared by many small shops, so the pressure is not great.
Modern factory construction will gradually shift towards this kind of joint-venture factory. Some small workshops are not large in scale, and may have only a dozen people. They used to use their own homes for production, which could barely make a living, but it was difficult to become strong. Now all these small workshops are integrated together, which can stimulate competition among each other, and at the same time, they can also take advantage of industrial agglomeration to attract large orders.
Qin Yintang looked embarrassed and sighed, "We have considered the method you mentioned, but the investment is too huge."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled faintly: "You don't need to cut each of the remaining standard factory buildings into small pieces, but only need to build a model factory. This is just like real estate developers decorating model houses in order to sell houses better. With demonstration, it will be easier to attract investment and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Qin Yintang quickly understood what Fang Zhicheng meant and said with emotion: "Mayor Fang, you have given me some pointers."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly. The reason why he told Qin Yintang this method was mainly because he was worried that the Daqin E-commerce Park would become a political achievement project. Deshan District must have promised many policies in the process of attracting investment, and Qin Yintang also came for these policies. If he got the benefits but the park did not take off, the hot potato would eventually be thrown to the government, resulting in huge losses.
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Qin Yintang with a deep gaze and said, "E-commerce has been developing for many years and has shown great potential. It has been popularized in first-, second- and third-tier cities, and many people are targeting the rural market. But I still have to pour a bucket of cold water on it. Although the rural market is large, it is also the most difficult part to solve. If you want to do it well, you must calm down and do it, and not just do some superficial work."
Then he told Chen Taiyang: "Starting from the second half of the year, all policies and funds in the province will be tightened. Of course, this tightening does not mean that there will be no more support, but the project review will be more stringent. Daqin E-commerce Park has strong competitiveness, but it is not unique in the province. So we still have to be patient and really make the industry bigger and stronger."
Chen Taiyang felt a little guilty and quickly promised: "Mayor Fang, we will definitely make the Daqin E-commerce Park a reality, truly provide a convenient sales channel for rural products, and help farmers increase their income and create wealth."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and followed Qin Yintang to the E-commerce Building. Qin Yintang smiled and invited him, saying, "Why don't we go to the office area first?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to look at the office area." He knew very well that the office scene must be very lively and full of people, but most of these people were external aid hired by the company, so there would be no point even if he went to see it.
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng had no intention of inspecting the office area, Qin Yintang breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also knew that this young deputy mayor today was no ordinary person. His style of doing things was unique, his thinking was active and advanced, and he did not play by the rules at all.
Arriving at the conference room on the 13th floor, Qin Yintang arranged for company personnel to conduct a project promotion for the Daqin E-Commerce Park. After the presentation, Fang Zhicheng casually asked a few questions and left without eating there.
After seeing off the city's motorcade, Chen Taiyang and Qin Yintang lowered their voices and said, "The results of today's inspection were not good."
Qin Yintang smiled and said, "Secretary Chen, please rest assured. I have already made arrangements. Director Qiao of the Provincial Economic and Information Commission is my friend. He promised that as long as we make the project book beautiful enough, we can be included in the list submitted by the Provincial Economic and Information Commission to the ministries and commissions. The ministries and commissions have provided tens of billions of funds to support rural e-commerce in the past two years. As long as it can be successfully approved, the Daqin E-commerce Park will receive sufficient funds, and then the economy of Deshan District will definitely be able to gain wings."
Chen Taiyang looked at him with a complicated expression, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as Mr. Qin can invest in and build the Daqin E-commerce Park, then all the thousand acres of forest land in Bailiang Mountain will be yours."
Qin Yintang patted his chest and assured, "Secretary Chen, just wait and see. By the way, I have arranged a private room. Do you want to play cards together?"
Chen Taiyang nodded and said with a smile: "I'm not in good shape today. I'm afraid I'll lose money."
Qin Yintang said quickly: "Secretary Chen, your card skills are so good, I have never seen you lose."
Zhao Wubiao saw Fang Zhicheng remained silent after getting in the car, and finally couldn't help asking, "Mayor Fang, are you not satisfied with the results of the inspection today?"
