Fang Zhicheng nodded, frowned, and reminded: "Boss, if we really want the Qi Group to make up its mind, relying solely on the local policies of the Dongtai County Government is not enough."
Song Wendi raised his thick black eyebrows, knowing that Fang Zhicheng always had unexpected ideas, and asked in confusion: "Tell me what other support you need. As long as the city can get it, I will definitely find ways to help."
"Bonded area." Fang Zhicheng said slowly.
He had previously told Song Wendi that if Dongtai County really wanted to become a new engine for Yinzhou's economic development, it was necessary to strive for the country's largest financial support, and the bonded zone was the most advantageous policy. Moreover, during the communication between Fang Zhicheng and Qi Yu, he also learned that Qi's Group was also very interested in the bonded zone.
In the investment project book of "Oriental Dubai Dongtai", Fang Zhicheng also boldly included this concept. There are less than ten bonded areas in the country. If Dongtai can win one, it will undoubtedly stand at the forefront of economic pilot areas and can compete nationwide.
However, it is not so easy to apply for a bonded zone. It needs to go through a series of approvals, and it is impossible to achieve without the mediation of provincial and ministerial forces. Song Wendi has just been promoted to vice-ministerial level, and his power is not enough to promote Dongtai's successful application for bonded zone qualifications. Unless Li Siyuan is willing to promote it from the side. Li Siyuan is a representative figure of scholar-officials, and he has promoted many economic system reforms.
Song Wendi sighed, a trace of difficulty appeared on his face, and said: "As for Dongtai's application for a bonded zone, I have communicated with Secretary Siyuan several times. Judging from his attitude, he is not firm. So we need to consider it in the long run."
Fang Zhicheng was a little disappointed when he heard that Li Siyuan did not support Dongtai's application for a bonded zone, but he could understand that from the perspective of the provincial party secretary, although Dongtai was still good among the counties and cities in the province, it was not necessary to concentrate such advantageous resources here. The provincial party secretary had to take care of the overall situation. Although he favored Song Wendi, he had to be fair and just in the use of resources and not be too obvious.
Fang Zhicheng did not give up and continued to emphasize the importance of the bonded area. He said in a deep voice: "Boss, we have discussed the world vision of the city before. Without the policy support to connect with the world, how can Yinzhou become a world city? If Dongtai can successfully apply for a bonded area, it will be a huge help to Yinzhou. Now that Qi's Group is injecting funds into Dongtai, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Song Wendi pondered for a long time. Fang Zhicheng was right. Qi's Group regarded Dongtai as the first stop for investment in the mainland, which attracted great attention from Huainan. If we take the opportunity to support the establishment of a bonded area in Dongtai, it is still possible.
Song Wendi smiled and sighed, "I'll think of other ways."
Fang Zhicheng was delighted. He knew Song Wendi very well. Generally speaking, when he said something like this, he already had an idea in his mind and would definitely take some special measures to apply for a bonded area in Dongtai.
Compared to Song Wendi, Fang Zhicheng is still a little immature, not only in terms of maturity in handling problems, but also in terms of the depth of resources in the officialdom. Fang Zhicheng has only been in the officialdom for more than a year and does not have much ability to promote the bonded area, so he must do his best to persuade Song Wendi so that the bonded area can take shape.
If Dongtai can successfully apply for a bonded zone, this year's investment promotion task of 12 billion will become a piece of cake. In the next three years, it is not impossible to attract 100 billion yuan in investment.
For foreign companies, the bonded area is too attractive. Foreign companies can set up enterprises in the bonded area to legally avoid taxes, which can easily save tens of millions of taxes. As China's foreign trade grows, this demand is becoming stronger and stronger. If Dongtai can meet this condition, then the difficulty of the Merchants Group's work will undoubtedly be reduced by more than one level, and it will be easier to attract foreign investment.
Song Wendi originally transferred Fang Zhicheng to Dongtai in the hope that he would gain experience on the one hand and help him sort out the complicated situation in Dongtai on the other. He did not expect that Fang Zhicheng would be so devoted in Dongtai and completely immersed in his current job.
After hanging up the phone, Song Wendi smiled. He had to say that he saw some of his own shadow in Fang Zhicheng. Most officials enter the official career with passion and dreams, but with the passage of time, that passion will be replaced by steadiness and lack of pioneering spirit.
Song Wendi's eyes flashed with a gleam, he held his chin in thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind. Although Li Siyuan did not agree to set up a bonded area in Dongtai, because it would affect his layout across the country as the provincial party secretary, but as a senior official in Yinzhou, he must strive for advantageous policies based on his own interests.
Song Wendi is a trusted general of Li Siyuan's faction, but that doesn't mean his resources are limited to Li Siyuan. In the past ten years, he has accumulated some very hidden resources, but they are hidden very deeply and few people know about them. However, once these resources are used, the side effects will be huge, which will destroy some of the provincial party committee's layout and cause dissatisfaction with Li Siyuan. In addition, these important resources may only be used once in a lifetime, so they need to be used with caution.
Song Wendi lit a cigarette, and when the red flame burned to the end, he took out his business card holder, picked out two slightly old business cards, and typed them one by one. The bonded area needs to be approved by the ministries and commissions, and the most critical one is the opinion of the General Administration of Customs. One of the two business cards is now in the General Office of the State Council, and the other is in the General Administration of Customs. Both are powerful cadres at the department level. If Dongtai can get the help of these two people, then the application for the bonded area will have a chance of success.
After communicating with Song Wendi, Fang Zhicheng began to deal with the affairs of Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. The company's registered capital has been in place, and now it is necessary to find a guarantee company and a bank to cooperate with.
The company's service model is that Dongtai Merchant Investment Service Co., Ltd. provides financial support to Dongtai's enterprises, and the guarantee company evaluates the assets and growth potential of these enterprises, issues relevant reports, and finally the bank provides loans. The company's profit comes from charging service fees and loan commissions. Of course, if the company finds some qualified and potential enterprises, it will also make venture investments in exchange for shares of these enterprises, and then extract dividends after the enterprises grow and become stronger.
Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. is actually similar to a venture capital company, using the Dongtai Merchants Bureau as a platform to better cultivate an incubator for enterprises. From a long-term perspective, the potential is unlimited. When the development scale reaches a certain level, the tentacles can be infinitely expanded, and the goal is not only in Dongtai, but also in the whole country.
Because he had worked with Song Wendi for a long time, Fang Zhicheng had a vision far higher than that of ordinary officials, which also laid the foundation for his future achievements to surpass those of others around him. Many people would think that Fang Zhicheng's ideas were too incredible, but most successful people do things that are difficult for others to understand, and then through success, they eventually impress others.
If someone analyzes Fang Zhicheng's actions, he will find that Fang Zhicheng is a person with clear thinking and a strong sense of rhythm. He knows when to do what and how to use methods to achieve his goals. Every step he takes is light and subtle, and after accumulating over time, he will create miracles.
When he was leaving get off work, there was a sudden knock on the door of the director's office. Fang Zhicheng looked up, startled, and asked in surprise: "Ye Qingrou, why are you here?"
Ye Qingrou put down her luggage, revealing a beautiful dimple at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Honey, how is it, surprise?"
Fang Zhicheng showed a helpless expression on his face and sighed, "Aren't you studying abroad? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Ye Qingrou snorted and said unhappily: "It took me a long time to get to Dongtai. I didn't expect that your first sentence would blame me."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "No, I have to call your dad right away..."
Ye Qingrou took a step back and stamped her feet, saying, "No! If you force me, I will die!"
Fang Zhicheng shrugged helplessly and said helplessly: "Little girl, your behavior is really crazy. If your father knew about it, he would probably beat you... and both of us to death..."
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but think of Ye Mingjing's face and smiled bitterly. That was not an easy character to deal with.
Ye Qingrou frowned and glared at him, "What? Do you think I'm a burden to you?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands quickly and said with a wry smile: "It's not a burden, but I just feel a little weird."
Ye Qingrou took two steps and came to Fang Zhicheng's side. She hugged Fang Zhicheng's arm and begged softly, "Husband, please don't force me to leave. I really can't adapt to life abroad. I have hardly eaten anything recently. Look, I have lost a lot of weight in the past six months."
Fang Zhicheng dodged, Ye Qingrou clung to him like cotton candy, and begged for mercy with his hands clasped: "Please, don't call me husband. I really don't deserve you."
"Wow..." Seeing Fang Zhicheng's attitude, Ye Qingrou sat down on the ground, covered her face with her hands and started crying.
Chapter 0231: Tangled Fate
Although Fang Zhicheng knew that Ye Qingrou was crying fake tears, he was afraid that other people from the Merchants Group would hear her, so he took a tissue from the table and handed it to Ye Qingrou, saying, "Don't cry. I won't chase you away. You can stay here as long as you want, how about that?"
Ye gently opened her masked hands, tears streaked at the corners of her eyes, she giggled and said, "Really?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. However, you have to promise me one thing. During this time in Dongtai, you are not allowed to call me husband. We are brother and sister, otherwise it will have a bad impact."
Ye Qingrou curled her lips and muttered unhappily, "What a hassle. I'm not even allowed to call my husband."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and glared at her.
Ye Qingrou smiled and waved her hand, saying, "I see. Should I call you Brother Fang or Brother Zhicheng?"
