Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Perhaps fearing that Li Xiaofeng might change his mind, the Le family reached an agreement with Li Xiaofeng to sell the land as quickly as possible after learning that he was willing to sell it, and readily paid 15 billion yuan for the purchase.

In addition, both parties promised that Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory would relocate to another location within six months to vacate this land for them.

Upon learning that Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory was moving to a new factory, Hou Guowei contacted Li Xiaofeng.

"Mr. Li, where do you plan to move this factory?"

Sensing the veiled meaning in Hou Guowei's words, Li Xiaofeng smiled and asked, "What instructions does Director Hou have?"

"I wouldn't dare accept such instructions. In about a week, I'll be going to work in Wuxi. I'm currently going through the transfer procedures, and I've already started handing over my work to others!"

"Congratulations! You're getting a promotion!"

Hou Guowei reached out and ran his hand through his hair with a hint of pride, smiling as he said, "I was sent to another place for training, and the leaders promoted me to encourage me."

"Well, I just heard that you're planning to relocate your factory to another city. I hope Mr. Li can offer his support and contribute to the economic development of Wuxi!"

"Director Hou, I've heard about it for a long time. You work hard and have outstanding achievements. Your promotion is a sure thing!"

"Sigh, we're just born to be workaholics, it's only right that we do more work!"

"Director Hou, do you have any good preferential policies over there?" Li Xiaofeng complimented, then took the opportunity to raise his own conditions.

He understood that once he moved the factory from Shanghai to Wuxi, it would be like adding fuel to the fire for Hou Guowei's new appointment. Given their current good relationship, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask Hou for a hand.

In fact, Wuxi was also one of Li Xiaofeng's options.

To sell his electric vehicles nationwide, Li Xiaofeng needs to build a production base in at least four of the four cardinal directions of the country.

In other words, there must be an electric vehicle production base in the eastern coastal area.

The high land prices and various fees in Shanghai are conducive to attracting talent, but not to reducing the production costs of the manufacturing industry. If it weren't for the fact that Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory had its own land due to historical reasons, it would definitely not be cost-effective to build a factory here.

However, Shanghai itself is also a large consumer market, and Li Xiaofeng is also considering exporting his electric vehicle products overseas in the future. Therefore, Wuxi, which is a little west of Shanghai, is a good choice.

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to move your factory there, I'll definitely give you the most favorable investment conditions in the area. In addition, I've already contacted the local authorities, and the factory buildings are ready-made as long as you're willing to go."

In addition, several electric vehicle factories have moved there from Wuxi, and many component suppliers have followed suit, forming an industrial cluster advantage.

Hou Guowei is also well aware that for the manufacturing industry, forming industrial clusters can reduce the price of manufactured products as much as possible and create a competitive advantage in the industry.

To put it simply, when everyone works together, the volume of business increases, intermediate links and costs are greatly reduced, and everything becomes cheaper.

"Director Hou, I plan to develop my business in Wuxi long-term, so it's definitely more cost-effective to own the factory. However, I'm a little short on funds. Could you please allow me to pay for the factory in installments without interest?"

Hou Guowei pointed at Li Xiaofeng and laughed, "You're such a slippery guy! You just sold the land and have a lot of cash on hand, and you have the nerve to tell me you're short on cash!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "No matter how rich a businessman is, he's never short of money. The money I have is for other purposes, so I can't invest it in the electric vehicle factory for the time being."

However, I'm not a penny-pincher; I've still kept several hundred million yuan for the electric vehicle factory!

After paying corporate income tax and various transaction fees, he received 15 billion yuan from the land sale, leaving him with less than 12 billion yuan.

Initially, Li Xiaofeng invested 2 million yuan in this electric vehicle factory, and later helped the factory repay 6 million yuan in loans, for a total investment of 8 million yuan.

Now that the electric vehicle factory has money after selling the land, Li Xiaofeng has decided to temporarily recoup the 8 million yuan he invested. The remaining less than 4 million yuan is enough for Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory to develop for a while.

With this 8 million yuan, Li Xiaofeng now has a massive 66 billion yuan in his hands. In this day and age, if this amount of money were invested in any industry in China, it would cause a huge upheaval.

Hou Guowei feigned anger and said, "What are you planning to do with so much money in your hands?"

Li Xiaofeng replied with a smile, "Of course we'll use it for investment. Manufacturing is a capital-intensive industry, and if we want to continue to develop in the future, we will definitely need more investment."

My plan is to use this money to make more money in other industries, and then use that money to continuously invest in the manufacturing sector!

Hou Guowei shook his head helplessly and said, "You're going to use this money to invest in real estate, aren't you? Sigh, businessmen are always looking for profit, there's nothing I can do about it. Just don't forget about the electric vehicle factory!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "No problem. I've handed over the specific affairs of Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory to Director Xu and Xu Lei. I'll call them later and ask them to go there for an inspection!"

If it's really as good as you say, I can immediately make the decision to relocate Hongxing Electric Vehicle Factory to Wuxi!

Seeing that Li Xiaofeng was being so accommodating, Hou Guowei smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you're willing to move here, I can guarantee you the purchase of the factory building. Mr. Li, I'll be waiting for you in Wuxi!"

Not long after, news came from Xu Lei that the conditions in Wuxi were very good, and the local government had planned a super-large industrial park to attract investment.

This industrial park not only has the advantage of industrial clusters, but its Yangtze River shipping is also very developed, no less so than that of Shanghai.

It's important to understand that for large items like electric vehicles, transportation costs account for a significant portion of the overall cost, and water transport is far cheaper than land transport, saving a considerable amount of money.

In addition, the equipment in the factory is all very large, and many pieces of equipment are difficult to transport by truck. Even if they can be transported, the equipment needs to be disassembled, which is extremely expensive.

Water transport is different; many pieces of equipment do not need to be disassembled, making transportation more convenient and saving a lot of money.

Without hesitation, Li Xiaofeng instructed Xu Lei and his team to transport the factory equipment from Shanghai to Wuxi.

Hou Guowei was very satisfied with this.

For powerful entrepreneurs like Li Xiaofeng, they are essentially portable political achievements. As long as they cultivate good relationships, their future career advancement will be smooth sailing.
