Chapter 517 Simple Wisdom
Gu Ao chatted with his father for a while, and soon it was dinner time. The younger sister Gu Mei came back from school, so Gu Ao stopped talking and not mentioning those things.
At the dinner table, he just asked the younger sister to care about her family’s current life. Although Gu Mei lives in Gu Ao’s house to study, she still goes back to reunite with her father and brother every weekend.
So from Gu Mei, Gu Ao learned more details and his ideas became clearer.
The next day, he was not stupid enough to beat around the bush and went straight to the city government to find his old friend Qiu Qing to have tea.
"When did you come back? There was no movement at all." Qiu Qing was so surprised that he was almost shocked when he saw Gu Ao. "There are many things about you in the past few months, and there are also people who want to re-activate you. I don't know which one is true and which one is fake."
"No matter whether it is fake or not, I finally came out naturally and would not go back." Gu Ao explained the other party's doubts in one sentence, "After I resigned from public office, I went to the United States for two months to deal with business, and I only came back yesterday."
Qiu Qing was not a tangled person. After hearing Gu Ao say this, he immediately changed the point and pulled him down on the sofa, asking the secretary to pour tea (Qiu Qing is a person who wants to do something, so he uses a male secretary, which has a better impact):
"Good come back, good come back - by the way, the "Great View Garden" project on the West HN Line under the banner of foreign investment, the cooperation project under the care of the relevant cultural departments is actually your money behind it, right? I think it was your girlfriend Xiao Sui who came forward to contact us. The land and other areas are well cooperated with each other, and you must be conscientious."
Gu Ao took the tea and thanked him. He was not as polite as an old friend I haven't seen for a year or two: "It's more convenient to go back to my hometown to do things. Of course, I have a conscience. I'm not finally separated from the system. Do whatever I want and go back to my hometown to invest immediately.
I negotiated cooperation with Sony in the United States, and then registered a record company. When I came back, I wanted to build a CD-ROM factory, so I could put it locally, but the condition was that I needed to build a factory in the northern suburbs. As for the financial money that should be given to industrial land, you are absolutely safe, the old rules."
"That's good, I just said it, it's worth it. I often say at various work meetings that Comrade Xiao Gu is an enlightened and righteous person." Qiu Qing immediately felt good.
Gu Ao looked speechless: You brag a little bit, okay? Can this kind of vulgar words in plain language really be said at a work meeting? Did you really say that at that time?
However, the other party obviously didn't care about these details and continued to ask: "I said you have money to start a business for more than one or two years. It's been more than four years since you invested in the Special Administrative Region. It's the fifth year. Why did you think of returning to your hometown to invest in a factory seriously? I won't go to the Special Administrative Region this time?"
Gu Ao sighed: "Do you think I don't want to come back? This is not the policy environment and preferential treatment. My factories used to process materials. Raw materials must be imported, private foreign exchange quotas, and bonded and exempted from tariffs. How to do this when returning home? These policies are only available in the Special Administrative Region.
Now it’s different. I just set up a CD factory with various raw materials. As long as I find some chemical factory suppliers in China, I can make it domestically produced. There is no problem of raw material tariffs. As long as it does not involve import tariffs, I can put it wherever I want."
After hearing this, Qiu Qing nodded frequently: "Then I'm relieved and I will definitely find a way to create an investment environment for me."
He is the deputy in charge of economic work in the city, and of course he is clear about the policies. The reason for this question just now is that he does not understand the production technology of CD and does not know whether this thing should be used for imported raw materials.
In the eyes of later generations, producing CDs is a sunset industry that is so low-end that it cannot be as low-end as pirated merchants. However, in 1984, this industry was still very sunny and had very technical content, and pirated merchants did not intervene so easily.
This is evidenced by historical reports - in 1992, when some important figures went south to inspect the Special Administrative Region, local newspapers in the Special Administrative Region wrote a special report, which mentioned that the great man visited the "Xinke Laser" and praised the "Xinke" company for realizing the localization of CD CDs.
Of course, the things produced by Xianke in 1992 are slightly different from the CDs that Gu Ao had to do in 1984. What Xianke can do is VCD and even data CDs used in computers. What Gu Ao now does is only storing pure music. The data format and technology are slightly similar, and the technical content is not that much different.
Therefore, in Gu Ao's eyes, the transitional sunset project became a must-fight for the sake of Qiu Qing's eyes. He was also glad that this project did not require imported raw materials: he would not be intercepted by the Special Administrative Region again.
As for foreign-funded enterprises, these three exemptions and five halvings, and even further tax preferential policies, they are the same everywhere.
Qiantang should give it to the special zone. Even if it is a bit hindered, try your best to create conditions.
Gu Ao's current "foreign investment" is still purely Hong Kong or American investment, because the investment company is registered in Xiangjiang or the United States.
The globalization of the technology industry has not yet appeared, and the domestic duty-free environment is already very good, and there are no twists and turns such as "technology and product profit separation".
So neither vie architecture nor Irish sandwiches are available.
The Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, and the Claus Jersey Islands do not need to go to these registered places.
These are all issues that need to be considered in the 1990s. I would like to mention it here so that novices will not be able to figure it out and give it a guide. I will not repeat it.
Seeing Qiu Qing promised so readily, Gu Ao couldn't help but need to remind him: "Brother, don't think about the problem simply. The four words "full support" are easier said than done. Tax preferential treatment are easy to say. The key is the site of the factory, and I have requirements."
After hearing Gu Ao's cold water pouring on this, Qiu Qing calmed down a little and asked a little nervously: "Didn't you just say that you are in the northern suburbs? It's not the city center, you won't change your mind, right?"
If you want land in the city center, Qiu Qing will be difficult to deal with.
Gu Ao smiled: "How could I have such a big appetite? I agreed that the northern suburbs are the northern suburbs - let's put it this way, it is a little northerly than the factory my dad currently manages. We don't occupy the office buildings in the urban area. If the factory buildings others are using, I will take up a little vegetable field at most.
If it involves farming residences, Tiankun Music promises to build a sixth floor employee dormitory, and give priority to recruiting farmers from occupied land to work in the factory and allocating employee dormitories for them to rent - but the relevant departments in the city will need to solve the household registration for these new employees."
Qiu Qing thought about it and didn't see what was going on. He said naturally: "What's the difficulty? You have done much better in resettlement than other foreign capitalists. Our city has lost a few quotas for residents' household registration."
What Qiu Qing said is not a false statement. In history, in the capital, Zhongguancun started to build Zhongguancun in 1987, and he also wanted to build high-tech enterprises in Zhongguancun and then requisition the land in the village. At that time, the conditions for Zhongguancun farmers were: as long as they were allowed to be expropriated, the homestead land was taken away, and then they paid another 2,000 yuan, they could give you a villa for residents and exchange it for a resident's household registration.
It can be seen that farmers want to become residents and have to pay money. Gu Ao directly allocates your household registration, recruits you workers, and allocates dormitories for you to rent cheaply. He doesn't charge you money. He is already very kind.
At least from the current perspective, Qiu Qing thought that Gu Ao was a real conscientious capitalist.
That's it.
...
A few days later, one weekend, a village in the northern suburbs was close to the city.
Gu Xun and Gu Chi got off work one after another, rode brand new motorcycles back to the bungalow community rented from nearby farmers.
They bought motorcycles with the income they had accumulated over the past six months. It can be seen that after becoming middle-level cadres in joint ventures and high-efficiency national-run collectives, their income is still good.
Originally, if they were willing to let go of the money given by their cousin, they could live much better, and there would be no problem buying a car by themselves. But their father was too old-fashioned and had been struggling in the evening and was not allowed to spend their relatives' money indiscriminately. They had to earn their own clean money to buy large items.
It’s a bit like those who became officials in later generations. They don’t dare to spend money indiscriminately, and they have similar mentality.
So, Gu Xun and the two brothers Gu Chi have been holding them in for so long.
In fact, it was not enough to save more than half a year. But they deceived their father Gu Zheng, but they saved enough money to buy the cheapest and worst motorcycles on the market. Then they secretly added a little bit of the part given by their cousin and bought two better imported brands, Sanyo Motorcycles.
Anyway, Gu Zheng didn't know the market of motorcycles, and he didn't know the brand. When he asked his neighbors and friends that he could buy a motorcycle for 2,000 yuan, he believed it.
"Dad, when my elder brother and I were passing by the village entrance just now, we saw that there were many people surrounded there and there were notices, "We can't squeeze in. Do you know what happened at home?"
Gu Chi was very smart. When he got home, he washed his hands and waited for dinner, he started chatting with his father.
"It seems to be posted in the afternoon, and I didn't squeeze in to see it." Gu Zheng didn't care much, "I don't care about our affairs anyway. I guess the people in this village are calculating about some benefits. Why are we worried about this from outsiders?"
When Gu Chi was criticized by his father, he was a little unwilling to accept it. He continued to persuade a topic that he had been persuading for several months: "Dad, you also said that we are an outsider and live here inconsistent. Our factory will be divided into low-rent dormitories recently. I am a cadre at least. When I get the division, we will move out. Don't look at these people's faces."
"You are using your power for personal gain! You are not allowed to learn from your third uncle's family! Do you want to ruin my reputation forever? I'm 61 years old and buried it in my throat, and I can't afford to lose this person! What we are talking about is contribution, not enjoyment!" Gu Zheng glared and taught his son a lesson like a cannon.
However, this time, Gu Chi had obviously planned the theoretical basis long ago, so he retorted with great confidence:
"Why is this just for personal gain? If the eldest brother divides the house, it would be fine if you say that. The eldest brother is doing things for collective enterprises, which is the public's interest. I advised him to stay in the house and tell him not to take it first.
I am in a joint venture, and it is a joint venture where foreign capital accounts for the majority. If the company wants to divide the dormitory, it is also a benefit for foreigners. Who should I take advantage of? Audis is a subsidiary of the American company UTC. Americans do not take advantage of it. The more they take advantage of it, the more patriotic it becomes!”
"You..." Gu Zheng was about to slap the table, but after thinking about it carefully, his mind was not so twitching, and he found that his son was really at his control today.
Although he was used to saying something, he could not take the word "reason" in the world, so he could only be defeated: "You guy said something wrong today..."
The generation gap between the father and son is continuing, and the younger sister Gu Mei is back.
She was sent by Gu Ao to send the bodyguards back, but Gu Ao was also very careful. He was afraid that his uncle would be unhappy, so he only let the bodyguards drive the car a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, and then let the little sister walk into the village so as not to be noticed.
"My sister is back too. Forget it, stop arguing, let's have a meal first, it's a rare weekend reunion." The peacemaker Gu Xun quickly said that he had joined his father and younger brother.
The family no longer quarrels.
Gu Chi casually talked to Gu Mei about seeing the notice at the entrance of the village today, but it was inconvenient to squeeze in and watch it because he was riding a motorcycle.
He just mentioned it casually, and didn't expect his younger sister to know any inside information.
However, this time Gu Mei blurted out: "I know this, the city is going to acquire land, enlist this village, and build a factory that produces laser recording, I don't understand it either, anyway, I'm advanced."
"Then how did you know?" Gu Chi asked in surprise.
"These are three factories that invest money." Gu Mei said naturally.
"Hmph! I think Aoao just dislikes us poor relatives who rent a farmer's house and loses his face. He even opens a factory and finds this suburb. He wants to shovel all the people here." My uncle snorted delusionally first.
It can be seen that he felt unhappy, so he even vomited out the title of "they Gu family", as if he was not the Gu family.
"Dad, how could you say that? I think the conditions for opening a factory are very good. The villagers who were around the notice at the entrance of the village just now were so excited. Most of them were running around and trying to rush to enter the factory to be workers. At the worst, they wanted to divide a dormitory, a small store, and do some retail business for the future industrial areas."
Gu Mei made a refusal to defend her third brother.
Gu Xun and Gu Chi hurriedly helped and said, "Dad, don't always think about people in a bad way. Third brother is also making contributions to his hometown, and investing in the industry will drive the villagers to become rich together."
Seeing that the three children did not support him, Gu Zheng silenced and stopped saying anything.
The family was thinking about things, but they didn't care about eating, and they ate very quickly. Gu Chi was the most active. After he was full, he wiped his mouth and walked out to inquire about the news with his neighbors.
First he saw Uncle Weng who was enjoying the cool air at the front yard - he was a middle-aged and elderly person in his forties or fifties, and he was also the current landlord of Gu's family. He was also a worker of Qian Yu 15 years ago. However, when he was selected to support the construction of the third line, he deliberately made a mistake and lost his identity as a worker, and then he followed the tide of going to the countryside to become a farmer.
In the past six months, at the beginning, he has been mocking Gu Zheng for being too stubborn and deserved to be poor. Later, he saw Gu Xun and Gu Chi's two brothers trembled a little before he restrained himself.
Gu Chi was a little thoughtful, so he didn't want to argue with these villains. He still handed over a cigarette and asked in a pretended manner: "Uncle Weng, what do you think about land acquisition and factory construction? Do you want to go back to work as a worker?"
Uncle Weng greedily snatched Liqun: "Ha, build a factory. I heard that it is still a high-tech and very automated factory. How many workers can it be used? It can't be used for the entire village. If the conditions are so good, it must be a conspiracy of foreign capitalists!
Besides, I have seen it correctly. The country's economic policies will definitely become more and more open. In the future, there will only be more and more capitalists who want to build factories. Although we are a village, we are close to the city. There is no space for building new factories in the city. The longer we hold here, the more valuable it is!
As long as the collective is told, foreign capitalists will not let go and find those stupid people next door who are not good at me to get land cheaply! In the future, whoever rapes who can cause trouble will have money to spend it!”
