Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Is there anything we need the management committee to do?"

Yang Weimin did not speak in an official tone. The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so naturally they spoke frankly.

"Director Yang, I personally think that the industrial park could have a clearer positioning when it comes to attracting investment, rather than the current all-encompassing approach."

Zhao Wenhao sat on the sofa, handed Yang Weimin a cigarette, and expressed his thoughts.

"Oh?" Yang Weimin took the cigarette and then smiled bitterly, "You're talking without any hesitation. The whole country is attracting investment right now. Anyone who can come to invest is our God of Wealth. Who cares what they do specifically?"

What Yang Weimin said is true.

Nowadays, local governments attach more and more importance to attracting investment, and it has even become one of the important indicators for evaluating the performance of local officials.

Therefore, various places have introduced various preferential policies to attract foreign companies to invest.

In this situation, many local governments tend to only focus on the quantity and amount of investment they attract, while ignoring the quality and sustainability of the projects.

Although some low-value-added, high-pollution, and high-energy-consuming projects can bring short-term economic benefits, in the long run they will cause serious damage to the local environment and affect the quality of life of residents.

In addition, due to the lack of clear industrial planning and layout, industrial homogeneity competition has occurred in some regions, resulting in serious waste of resources.

This is not only not conducive to the coordinated development of the regional economy, but also makes it difficult to achieve true sustainable development.

Therefore, the suggestions put forward by Zhao Wenhao have certain practical significance.

However, it is not easy to change the current chaos in investment promotion work.

This requires local governments to change their mindset from simply pursuing GDP growth to focusing on the coordinated development of the economy, society and environment; at the same time, strengthen scientific planning and management to improve the quality and efficiency of investment promotion.

Only in this way can we achieve a virtuous interaction between investment attraction and regional economic development.

But Yang Weimin believed that Huining Province, as an inland province, did not have many advantages in attracting investment. If you asked Yang Weimin to be picky, how could he possibly do it?

"Director Yang, I don't have any other intentions, but I hope that the management committee will have a focus when attracting investment." Zhao Wenhao said slowly.

Although Yang Weimin didn't know what Zhao Wenhao wanted to say, he still asked very humbly: "Oh? How did you say it? Tell me in detail."

Zhao Wenhao smiled and began to introduce himself to Yang Weimin: "At present, the revenue of our Hengyuan Electronics has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and according to the current development trend, it is expected to increase significantly this year.

We have made a preliminary internal estimate that if everything goes well, our revenue will likely reach more than 1995 billion by 50.

Of course, this is just a conservative estimate. Washing machines account for the majority of the market share..."

Zhao Wenhao did not give Yang Weimin a clear explanation immediately, but first showed him some surprising data.

These data were not fabricated by him, but were the conclusions drawn from in-depth research and discussion by the company's internal team.

They conducted a comprehensive assessment of market prospects, technological innovation, and future development trends, and believed that this goal was very feasible.

After hearing this, Yang Weimin was overjoyed.

He is very clear that as the top leader of the industrial park, any achievements made by the enterprises in the park are closely related to him.

If Hengyuan Electronics can really create such glory, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for him.

You know, even in the entire province, apart from a few large state-owned enterprises, there are almost no other companies that can achieve such outstanding achievements.

However, Yang Weimin also knew that the reason why Zhao Wenhao expressed it this way was simply to create an atmosphere of first suppressing and then praising, and there would definitely be more to say next.

As expected, Zhao Wenhao didn't wait for Yang Weimin to ask, but continued on his own: "The problem now is that the number and variety of accessories required for the various electrical products our company produces will continue to increase as the products become more diversified."

Yang Weimin nodded in approval.

Now, even though we only make washing machines and water heaters, we already have more than ten suppliers for these products. This is because Hengyuan Electronics manufactures some of the components itself.

Otherwise, just for these two products, dozens of supporting manufacturers may be needed.

If we start producing rice cookers, microwave ovens, and even refrigerators, air conditioners and other home appliances in the future, we will need hundreds of supporting manufacturers.

"Director Yang, I'm telling you the truth. Guangdong Province has approached me privately several times, hoping I could relocate the company to Yangcheng or Pengcheng. The conditions they offered were quite favorable, but I didn't agree to any of them.

The reason is that, in addition to the pleasant cooperation between Hengyuan Electronics and governments at all levels in Xuanzhou, more importantly, I am from Huining and of course I hope to contribute more to my hometown.

But now, the company's operating costs are gradually increasing, and a large part of them is the need to purchase supporting products from other places.

If there are relevant supporting enterprises in our industrial park, then our company's production capacity will be able to be further improved.

Not only that, if that were the case, our actual costs would have a significant room for reduction.

In this way, our products will be more competitive.

To be more specific, I hope that within our industrial park, the electrical appliances we produce will have a complete industrial chain. This will be a good thing for us and the entire industrial park."

Zhao Wenhao did not hide anything and revealed all his thoughts.

Yang Weimin narrowed his eyes and took a deep puff of cigarette. Amidst the smoke, his eyes were deep and sharp.

He didn't say a word, but his thoughts were spinning like a whirlwind.

He had a clear understanding of Zhao Wenhao's intentions. However, understanding and realizing them were two completely different issues.

As mentioned earlier, Huining Province is an inland province and Xuanzhou City is also an inland city.

To achieve Zhao Wenhao's goal, the effort required is beyond imagination.

This will not only be the rise of one industry, but also a huge industrial cluster involving various fields, which cannot be accomplished by the efforts of a single person like him as the director of the industrial park management committee.

Without the full support of the municipal or even provincial government, it's almost certain that he or the management committee alone will fail to achieve this goal. However, as the direct leader, if he doesn't actively strive for it, this project will likely be in vain.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Wenhao came to communicate with Yang Weimin first.
