Although Procter & Gamble is growing very fast, their potential is not great. Over the years, they have relied on the rapid development of their perfume business. When the perfume business reaches its peak, their growth rate will decline significantly.
Xuantian Technology Company does not talk about projects from Zhao Yi. After all, they don’t know when he will launch a big project, so this factor is not a major consideration.
Speaking of innovation workshops alone, the future growth potential is huge, and this development model will expand faster than the development model of the heavy-asset manufacturing industry.
In addition, artificial intelligence participates in product design and research and development. As long as the computing power is sufficient, there is basically no big bottleneck. One artificial intelligence can be worth thousands of R&D personnel.
Therefore, even if the robot business is removed, the future development potential of Xuantian Technology Company's innovation workshop is very high, especially as the affluence of our people increases, this trend will become more obvious.
Traditional consumer goods are mainly bought for being cheap and easy to use, and the main focus is cost-effectiveness, which is indeed very attractive to people with limited income levels.
However, as people have more and more money in their pockets, they are becoming more and more concerned about the pursuit of high-quality life. Price will not be their main consideration. Product performance, design and positioning will be what they value.
Therefore, the approach of the Innovation Workshop is to cater to consumers' needs for consumption upgrades. Not to mention the future development prospects, the development situation in the past two years has already explained a lot of problems.
Although the sales scale of their individual products is relatively low, after all, the price is higher than similar products, and the number of consumers is certainly not particularly large, but because of the large variety of products, the overall sales situation is still very scary.
Of course, the income here is not only the income from selling products, but also the patent licensing fees they charge. The income from this area is not small, but it still takes some time to occupy a certain proportion.
The Chongqing Municipal Government has an unimaginable desire to develop the local economy. Xuantian Technology Company agreed to all their requests with little effort when negotiating with them.
Fortunately, the companies under Zhao Yi cannot make excessive demands. They are all routine demands. Because they are new here, they hope that the city government can provide more help in terms of procedures and coordination of related issues.
The reason why I say this is mainly because robots involve many problems. If there is a government that goes all out to help, it will be equivalent to an extra help, and many things may be much easier to handle.
As for preferential policies, you only need to follow their local most preferential policies. However, no matter which city in China you are in, there will be no tax exemption for three years and half discount for five years like in the previous life.
In general, the country has passed the stage of eagerness to attract investment. It can even be said that there has never been this stage, because Zhao Yi's investment has exceeded all foreign capital by an unknown number of times.
This has also led to the fact that the current domestic attitude towards foreign investment is not as concerned as in the previous life, and it is less willing to sacrifice its own environment and tax revenue in exchange for their investment. Now the government has such confidence.
The Chongqing Municipal Government originally thought that a giant company like Xuantian Technology Company had finally taken a liking to Shangougou, and since it didn't have too many demands, they agreed without any hesitation.
During the meeting, they did not talk about robots, but said they were preparing to move their headquarters from the capital to Chongqing. It is precisely because of this that the Chongqing Municipal Government is so excited.
As long as the headquarters of Xuantian Technology Company is moved to Chongqing, it will directly bring hundreds of billions of large industries to Chongqing. And with the current speed of development, a trillion-dollar scale is not impossible in the future.
They have long been jealous of the development in Chengdu. Chengdu and surrounding prefecture-level cities, relying on two giant companies, are living a comfortable life. With an output value of trillions, they can set off huge turmoil wherever they are placed. Huge waves.
The relocation of Xuantian Technology Company's headquarters to them will bring great development opportunities to the local area. The only drawback is that they currently provide too few jobs.
Otherwise, Xuantian Technology Company is a very strange company. It has an output value of hundreds of billions of yuan but only a few thousand employees. This is unique in the world.
Moreover, although the headquarters has been moved to Chongqing, the staff responsible for the current business will not move to Chongqing with the headquarters. Their working locations will remain unchanged and they have no plans to change in the future.
Because there is not much need, the existing business is on track, and the employees are relatively stable and are doing well in the capital. There is no need to move the entire company to Chongqing, which will only add trouble to the employees.
Now that the relocation of the headquarters has been negotiated, Xuantian Technology Company has begun to briefly elaborate on the development of their robot business, hoping that the local government can provide sufficient support.
When they mentioned this, the city government leaders immediately understood what was going on. Not long after Zhao Yi's speech had passed, everyone had a very clear impression.
I just didn't expect that things would develop so fast. In less than two months, it has begun to enter the layout stage. If everything goes well, it will enter the formal implementation stage next year.
At the same time, they also understand why Xuantian Technology Company requires the city government to fully support them in this matter, because this process is bound to be complicated and intense, and the possibility of smooth sailing is relatively low.
If the local government cannot be of one mind with them, let alone others, the future will inevitably be full of twists and turns, which is why they chose Chongqing.
If you choose a place with already good economic development, then although the government will be covetous of the opportunities they bring to local economic development, it will not let them go into battle naked, and they may even lose their careers.
Chongqing is different. Apart from the beautiful city built by China Housing Corporation, there are not many remaining industries. They are all fragmented industries, which bring very limited economic development.
At present, the employment here is basically related to construction, which means that it is the employment opportunities provided by China Housing Company, but this will always pass. Once urbanization is basically completed, the demand for labor will drop sharply.
How to solve the employment problem of these people will be a headache for the government. Some people will participate in the urban service industry, but more people will have to go out to work.
This will cause a large loss of local population and make the economic development situation even more pessimistic. But now, unlike in the past, it is impossible to rely on administrative restrictions on movement. The only way is to provide employment opportunities for local people.
It's just that they thought about it, and since they want to be replaced by robots, Xuantian Technology Company's robot industry will not use too much manpower, and it will not provide too many jobs by then.
When they raised this question, the vice president of Xuantian Technology Company said: "You are right to think so. The establishment of our robot industry chain may require manual help in the early stage.
After the first batch of manufacturing plants produce robots, the rest of the work will basically be done by robots. This is not only a characteristic of this business, but also a promotion for robots. "
Hearing what he said, the excitement of the city government staff was suddenly reduced by half. If they cannot provide sufficient jobs, it means that they have not solved their thorny problems.
Seeing their faces, the vice president continued: "Actually, there is no rush about jobs. First of all, our industry can bring a lot of tax revenue to the local area.
The government can use these taxes to carry out large-scale infrastructure projects, which will be of great benefit to the development of Chongqing, which is mainly mountainous, and can also provide certain jobs.
When these taxes flow to the private sector through infrastructure or other means, they will also promote local development in all aspects, which will also increase employment opportunities. Generally speaking, local people will not be too short of jobs.
The most important thing is that ordinary jobs like this are only necessary in the past few years. When the robot industry matures and becomes more and more popular, these positions will inevitably be replaced.
At that time, local people can get a subsidy for leaving their jobs, so they do not need to leave their hometowns to work. This treatment is the same across the country.
Therefore, the size of the local economy in the future mainly depends on three aspects. The first is the population, because money is divided per head, and the more people there are, the more money will be distributed.
The second is the number of senior intellectuals, because senior intellectuals have a higher chance and probability of providing high-value labor than ordinary people, and will naturally make a higher contribution to the local economy.
The third is the local industry situation, which mainly corresponds to government taxation. After all, industries are local, and tax payments are naturally local. "
In fact, he did not expand on the third point. In the future, these industries will pay taxes locally, but most of the after-tax fees may still be collected by the central government and then uniformly distributed by the central government, thereby achieving a relative fiscal balance in various regions.
By then, local governments may not be under as much pressure for economic development as they are now, and performance assessment will shift from economic development to comprehensive governance capabilities.
This comprehensive governance capability includes local government service level, cultural development level, infrastructure service level and other related factors. The economy will be just one of many capabilities.
Hearing the vice president's words, the officials at the scene were stunned. They had never thought that money would be distributed directly to the people, and the people would not have to work day and night.
Is the so-called communism about to be realized? At that time, people will enjoy full material freedom and can do whatever they want, as long as they do not engage in illegal or disciplinary matters.
What everyone calls "lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs" has only been realized in a few years. However, someone told them that in a few years, society will directly enter the Datong society.
Although everyone knew that since robots were used to replace manual labor, there would inevitably be relevant security systems, otherwise society would definitely have big problems, but what they didn't expect was that money would be directly distributed.
This is simply simple, crude and endearing. If it is true, it is estimated that few people will oppose this decision, at least ordinary people will not object. This has a strong mass base.
With a strong mass base, many things will be much easier to handle, because you will have enough confidence. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Yi insists on carrying out this work without worrying about major problems.
The only thing I am more worried about is how to ensure the vitality of society and how to allow people to enjoy sufficient material conditions while still being positive and promoting the continued development of society.
With this promise from the vice president of Xuantian Technology Company, the original worries of the Chongqing Municipal Government disappeared, and there would be no problem after waiting a few more years.
This is because the urbanization construction of the entire Chongqing area has not yet been completely completed. Previously, it was only busy with urbanization construction in the urban area. Later, the surrounding counties of Chongqing will also need to carry out urbanization construction, and the old city will also need to be re-planned and constructed.
Coupled with the financial abundance, the construction of road transportation and other infrastructure will start. These require a lot of labor, and there will not be much problem if it lasts for a few years.
After the relevant agreements were negotiated and signed, Xuantian Technology Company's team rushed back to the capital non-stop to discuss the matter with the capital city government.
After all, they are also a giant company. It is really unreasonable to move their headquarters quietly, so they still need to tell the government about their decision and provide some explanation.
The reason is simply to balance the regional economy. Chongqing has a population of nearly 30 million, but does not have a decent pillar industry. This is indeed a big problem for the local people.
There are many companies in the capital, and the economic development is already very good. It doesn't matter much if there is one more or one less company like Xuantian Technology Company.
Of course, these are just polite words. Whether it is domestic or foreign, companies as big as Xuantian Technology Company are very rare. There are many companies in the capital, but state-owned enterprises account for the majority.
The fiscal revenue contributed by state-owned enterprises cannot be compared with that of large and famous enterprises, especially companies like Xuantian Technology Company, which have small burdens, high profits, and very considerable fiscal and tax contributions.
But they also know that as long as Zhao Yi makes this decision, there is basically no room for redemption. He can't change his mind just by relying on a few words from others, nor can he give up his principles just by making some promises.
Therefore, the two parties had a friendly discussion and did not become red-eyed. After all, he still has many large-scale enterprises here. If there is really an unpleasant incident and they all move out of anger, the loss will be even greater.
After the communication was completed, Xuantian Technology Company and the Chongqing Municipal Government jointly released the news, which did not attract much attention to ordinary people.
But for the business community and the people of Chongqing, it is of great significance, and attention to this news is naturally relatively high, because this situation is still relatively rare.
Let alone giant companies like Xuantian Technology Company, it is not an easy task for ordinary large companies to move from one city to another.
The development of an enterprise is indispensable with the support of the local government. If the enterprise moves away after it has grown, it will obviously offend the local government. After all, it has provided a lot of resources, so it would be strange if it does not offend the enterprise.
It's just that Zhao Yi's companies obviously don't have these problems. As long as the local government doesn't hold back, they can develop smoothly without the local government having to worry too much.
As long as they do what the government should do, his companies will not trouble the government too much, and they can solve most of the problems themselves.
Obviously, the development of Xuantian Technology Company was also in this process, but the capital city government did not need to put in much effort, and it developed into a giant company in just one or two years.
This is also the reason why he did not have much psychological pressure to move Xuantian Technology Company to Chongqing. Anyway, he did not owe any favors. When developing here, the tax revenue was not a penny less, which was worthy of the public services they provided.
Moreover, the employees here will not be relocated with the headquarters, so there will be no impact on local jobs. Coupled with their high-level reasons, the capital city government cannot even think about it.
After all, what they said is true. As a region with a population of nearly 30 million, it does not have any pillar industries, and it is also a rugged mountainous area. It really needs a strong enterprise to help local economic development.
For the local people in Chongqing, no matter what, having the headquarters of a giant company move here is very beneficial to the local economy.
In fact, they have long been envious of the speed of economic development in Chengdu, and many people even go to Chengdu to work. There is no way around it, after all, the economic development there is indeed very good.
Looking at their hometown, the gap between the two is very large, and disappointment is inevitable. Therefore, their expectations for the development of Chongqing's economy are also very high.
Many of them actually do not understand the actual situation of Xuantian Technology Company. After all, Xuantian Technology Company is a privately owned enterprise and does not need to disclose its business operations to the outside world.
But whether a company is developing well or not sometimes does not necessarily need to look at the operating report, it just depends on whether their products are popular in the market. If it is very popular, it will not be much worse no matter how bad it is.
The businesses Xuantian Technology Company is involved in are all high-end and high-end, such as global satellite communication systems, smart glasses, holographic projections, and high-end products that you may see in daily life.
Taken together, Xuantian Technology Company will not be considered an insignificant company, so the local people in Chongqing are looking forward to this matter.
Xuantian Technology Company's headquarters moved to Chongqing, which immediately solved Chongqing's financial problems. The government now has money in its hands. As long as it does not spend it arbitrarily, it will still have a great promotion effect on the development of the local economy.
However, Zhao Yi feels that Chongqing should strive for the quota of a municipality directly under the central government, just like in the previous life. Otherwise, they will always be suppressed by Chengdu. After all, the gap in conditions between the two places is still quite large.
So he asked the vice president of Xuantian Technology Company to mention by the way when communicating with the Chongqing Municipal Government that if Chongqing was promoted to a municipality directly under the Central Government, many problems would be easier to solve.
For Chongqing officials, the level will be improved, which is a real benefit. As a municipality directly under the Central Government, it will also be more advantageous when fighting for policies, which is not comparable to that of ordinary prefecture-level cities.
For Xuantian Technology Company, there is a big gap between the support of ordinary prefecture-level cities and the support of municipal governments. This will be more conducive to helping them solve some problems.
And based on the population size of Chongqing, it is not too much to give a title to a municipality directly under the Central Government. After all, the population size is not much different from that of provincial-level units. A population of more than 28 million is not a small number.
In addition, developing the southwest economy is also one of the country's priorities. Adding a municipality in the southwest is very beneficial to the development of the economy in the southwest. From a national perspective, it is also a favorable thing.
Therefore, the probability of success in promoting Chongqing to a municipality directly under the Central Government is quite high. After such analysis, the Chongqing Municipal Government suddenly felt that this matter could be run well.
In fact, not only Chongqing City, but also if the northwest's economic development makes a qualitative leap in the future and forms a strong economic influence on Central Asia, it is not impossible to establish a municipality directly under the Central Government in the northwest.
The establishment of a municipality directly under the Central Government is definitely not a casual matter. It needs to undertake certain functions, has the potential to promote regional development, and meets the needs of national development.
If the northwest economy develops well and has a radiating effect on Central Asia, establishing a municipality here will be more conducive to the economic development and influence of this area.
In fact, if the economy of the Tarim Basin makes a qualitative leap and the population increases significantly, it is likely that Xinjiang will be divided into two in the future, and the Tarim Basin will be established as a separate provincial unit.
After all, Xinjiang is too big. In the past, the total economic scale here was limited, and the population was not very large. There was no need to divide it into such fine details, which was not conducive to saving administrative expenses.
If the economy here develops well, the population will inevitably increase. For better management, the establishment of new provincial units is very conducive to refined management, and the finances can also support more administrative expenses.
Of course, he will definitely not suggest these things. It all depends on how the government views it. If we look at the overall situation, this trend should exist.
National governance is actually a complex matter. Every step is purposeful and cannot be decided casually. The same is true for administrative divisions.
He positions himself in the field of economic development and does his work in this area with peace of mind. Unless it is necessary, he generally does not bother to make too many suggestions.
In addition, many things are gradually being improved now, and the opportunities for him to make suggestions are gradually decreasing. Unlike before, he had to write materials every three days, and he felt like he had to deal with everything every day. (End of chapter)
