In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 494: On Flattery, This Is What It Takes to Become a Master

Because the city’s tallest modern building is right next to it, with its forty or fifty floors overlooking the botanical garden that covers the entire block area.

These days, all the employees in the Changjiang Automobile Research Building have found a way to smoke a cigarette and chat about important matters in some corners when they have time.

It is said that many office workers who work in this direction have secretly purchased telescopes online. It is so interesting to look down on the world from a God's perspective.

This also resulted in the office areas on the relevant floors having to ask the property management department to adjust the floor-to-ceiling windows to frosted or gridded state, which greatly affected the work progress.

Of course, what is more likely to move people's hearts than this superficial phenomenon is the changes brought about by the prince consort.

This second-tier city in northern Hebei is still too small, but because it is located next to Beijing and Tianjin, it seems to have many opportunities and is neither too high nor too low.

Just as Chang Yueling had expressed to Zi Xiaowei, even Old Chang could not gain the full recognition of this capital with a long history. There were all kinds of veterans here who looked down on him as a newcomer.

Therefore, Lao Chang's decision to invest tens of billions of yuan to start a new business in Jiangzhou may be a kind of game.

Let everyone see that Changjiang Automobile, which contributes half of the local GDP, is now fully capable of choosing a better path.

Don’t think that the multi-billion dollar companies that sprouted and grew here will never dry up and leave.

One key variable will definitely lead to this fundamental change.

Especially for such a young and creative marketing genius, it seems that just by moving his fingers, the whole city and even the North China Plain can feel the heat.

The last time Zi Xiaowei came, he stayed for a few days in a hurry, reassuring the factory workers at the group headquarters. After he went to the marketing center building to give a subversive reminder, he created a huge fuss of the off-road carnival.

Changjiang Automobile's business situation, which had been declining after the epidemic, has suddenly returned to its former dominant position.

Up to now, the industrial park on the other side of the test track has been continuously renovating and building off-road venues and modified supplies trading markets, although the carnival activities have ended.

However, the continuous commercial demand and the gathering of internet celebrities ensure that the hot topics are always turning.

And now even the people of the entire city have seen the "Nan Di Garden" appearing next to them, which has brought great surprise to all citizens.

They didn't even use top accounts like Tingbaobao. They only invited some local internet celebrities who had met at Baiyangdian last time, and invited them to the botanical garden to make a few short videos. After forwarding and spreading them within the Yangtze River Automobile Group, the whole city was in an uproar.

Lao Chang and his colleagues have been running the business here for thirty or forty years, and have never done this kind of seemingly purely public welfare work.

But in fact, the land belongs to the Agricultural University, and the land red line and usage nature have not been changed at all.

It’s just that the nursery funds previously allocated by the state are donated by social enterprises and made better.

The School of Agriculture of Southwest Associated University sponsored the investment and construction of this non-profit public botanical garden in cooperation with Changjiang Automobile, Ella Automobile and Tingbao Media.

These companies obtained the authority to invest funds only to avoid being demolished at will. If they are required to demolish their buildings for any reason, they will at least have to compensate the investment costs of over 100 million yuan.

However, none of the companies openly make money from the botanical garden. This public welfare organization, which has the qualifications of an independent cultural foundation, tries to be self-sufficient as much as possible.

But anyone with a little business sense will know that there is a lot that can be done just by employing hundreds or thousands of employees.

The Agricultural University can support many research groups and cultivate and maintain such a large treasure trove of plants. It needs to second or outsource many teachers and students to get subsidies, and the previous nursery funds can be used for more things.

Changjiang Automobile can also accommodate many internal family members and children, because the money was paid by the prince consort, and the automobile group got this huge industry almost for free.

More importantly, it has gained the reputation of the entire city.

Everyone knows that it was the new son-in-law of Changjiang Automobile who instructed and asked him to build this public entertainment venue with his own money.

It is obvious that it is only in trial operation within the city now. Once all aspects are sorted out, it will definitely be promoted nationwide like the off-road carnival, and this place will be made into a popular internet celebrity attraction.

The ensuing commercial atmosphere around the botanical garden is visibly ready to take off.

Large real estate developers acquired land for construction and parking lots, while small businesses rented storefronts and bought properties to open restaurants and hotels. Even wedding photography companies quickly appeared on the streets. All available storefronts were instantly cleared!

Of course, the largest landlord in this area is still Changjiang Automobile. The R&D building next door has 2,000 parking spaces, and the primary and secondary schools of the Changjiang Automobile Education Group opposite, as well as two or three large residential communities in the area, all belong to the two group companies that Chang Yueling used to be in charge of.

It's true that the prince consort only made a slight move and already reached the limit of this segment.

It is visibly making the surrounding areas more prosperous along with the automobile group.

Therefore, if the Changjiang Automobile Group hands over the power from Lao Chang to him in the future and then completely shifts its focus to Jiangzhou, this city will really undergo earth-shaking changes.

The influence that this prince consort can bring will even surpass that of the old chairman!

Because he has proved more than once that he can grasp the pulse of the new era and achieve greater victory.

The old people's clumsy marketing collisions in the new situation have proved that their era has indeed passed.

Ordinary workers may not be able to see so far into the future, but those educated guys in the sales center and R&D center can't help but think so.

A long post appeared on Changjiang Automobile's internal website: "Will we leave here?"

The opening paragraph bluntly states: "Is the economic development of a region the result of opportunities of the times, or the influence of a single individual? Without Zhang San, would there still be Li Si who would have established Changjiang Automobile and led it to its current scale over the past 30 years?"
The answer is definitely not exactly the same.

Maybe it will be better, but the greater probability is that it will become like those surrounding second- and third-tier cities that have disappeared into history, facing silent financial difficulties, financial subsidies, and all the talent fleeing the area. "

"So, the second question that arises is, is this person common? If the influencer in this city or region isn't doing a good job, can we just replace him with someone else? Or is this an extremely rare and precious example, an opportunity, a treasure that's hard to replicate a second time?"

In the past two or three decades, Changjiang Automobile has invested tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars in scientific research whenever it has money.

Taking advantage of its distance of more than 100 kilometers from Pingjing, it has also recruited a large number of outstanding talents from top domestic universities.

There is absolutely no shortage of thoughtfulness.

"Obviously, the influence that a single individual can have on a region's economic development is extremely rare and precious, practically as scarce as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn. Throughout history, we can list countless such regions and names. Even every current town is related to one or two names who seemed to pass by by chance, or slipped by like a meteor, bringing about huge changes. The size of their ability and influence determined the future direction of the region.

For example, along the same coast, some people are producing sea salt, some are smuggling it, and some are introducing grape varieties, resulting in various disparities along the eastern Shandong coast today. There's also the case of a county ranked last in Jiangsu Province, which was transformed into one of the top 1400 counties in China with a total value of 92 billion yuan. There's also Chen, who sold all of his county assets to introduce Beijing Auto pickup trucks, leading to rapid growth. There's Ji, who led Long County to success in five years. There's Zhang, who established the Wenzhou Mall and small commodity wholesale business in eastern Shandong in 82. There's even Xie, who pioneered the opening of a small commodity market in Yiwu in ..."

"So we are very fortunate to have met Mr. Zi again at this critical juncture of transformation after decades of leadership by the Chairman. This kind of development continuity spanning over 50 years will surely put Changjiang Automobile at the forefront of global automakers in the future..."

"But as an ordinary employee, I want to know very clearly whether our future focus is in northern Ji or Jiangzhou. After all, for those of us who work from nine to five and don't dream of making a big splash, we have to think about ourselves and our children. I also wish General Manager Zi and General Manager Chang a happy marriage and a baby soon..."

Just looking at the first part, I really thought it was a piece of flattering article that was particularly good at bragging.

But the person remained anonymous from beginning to end, and secretly used an external network link to post to the internal communication platform, because he really didn't want his identity to be known.

It truly represents the voices of many ordinary employees, and a considerable number of them are smart and the most valuable employees to the company.

Various employee groups and executive groups are actually very concerned about this matter.

They also forwarded messages to each other silently.

Old Chang must have seen it, hahaha, and forwarded it to his daughter and son-in-law for review.

Zi Xiaowei saw this article from Chang Yueling, but he did not respond in writing.

It was directly put on the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Let host Xiong say this.

It is said that Chang Yueling insisted on getting him out to take wedding photos these days, which was really tiring and it really made them angry.
