The next day.
Luo Qiang made another trip to the city.
For this project.
He gave an hour-long introduction that astounded everyone; Luo Qiang had even brought the architectural designs for the entire research center. Every building was already designed.
"Isn’t this too efficient?"
That became their collective sentiment.
Six hundred acres.
Not an inch wasted.
The layout and design were exceptional—in work, shopping, exercise, accommodation, entertainment, dining... It’s no wonder they needed so much land; it turned out they put a great deal of effort into the working environment.
"This is Boss Tang’s idea."
"To let employees feel joy while working here, to feel like they’re coming home. In Boss Tang’s words, to ensure that when employees come to work on Monday, their mood isn’t as gloomy as if they were visiting a grave."
"Haha~~~"
"We will provide each technical staff with a spacious seat, an extensive working environment, only then can the heart be spacious. We aim to create an exemplar workspace that the industry longs for and learns from."
"..."
Regarding the company’s environment.
Luo Qiang gave a focused introduction.
They all talk about corporate culture.
What is corporate culture? At its most fundamental, it’s the working environment of the employees. Dozens of people crammed together all day, each with a mere square meter of workspace, can you even talk about corporate culture?
Even their own people wouldn’t believe it.
Therefore.
Once there’s money.
In the aspect of employees’ working environment.
The companies under Tang Qing all pay great attention to this; Sky Eye Group’s headquarters might be the smallest, yet everyone has at least 3.5 square meters of office space, not counting common areas, and the dormitories are up to hotel standards.
There’s no need to mention Sheng Tang Group.
Over twenty floors.
And still not fully occupied to this day.
Comet Group’s headquarters is larger, one branch office per building, and now many floors remain vacant, while the complementary entertainment and leisure facilities are absolutely the best within the industry.
And the research center.
The future plan is for ten to fifteen thousand research and development personnel.
With so many people.
Naturally, there needs to be more supporting facilities.
Anyway, Tang Qing isn’t short of money.
And he’s not interested in penny-pinching on this matter.
To retain talent.
How to retain?
Wages are one aspect; the working environment is another important standard. Tang Qing aims for everyone who joins his company never to have thoughts of leaving willingly, even to develop a dependence.
Therefore.
This attitude towards employees.
The more they listened.
The more the city leaders nodded in agreement.
In this aspect.
The companies under Tang Qing truly do very well. They had inspected Comet Group’s headquarters; there aren’t many enterprises in Shanghai that can reach that standard, and now, Qingyuan Technology is merely inheriting Tang Qing’s consistent style.
Or perhaps.
That is their corporate culture.
This culture.
They approve of.
"Other enterprises should learn from you. A company shouldn’t be a place that exploits workers; it should be another home, a place where they are willing to strive for wholeheartedly."
"Your company has set a good example. Once it’s built, I will definitely organize a visit for the outstanding entrepreneurs of the city to learn from you, and I believe your company will become more and more successful."
In the end.
The top leader of the city gave high praise.
That evening.
Tang Qing was having dinner.
And the call from the project runner came in.
Surprisingly.
The first one was from his uncle.
"Uncle."
"Tangtang, I heard you’re investing tens of billions in Shanghai Stock Market?" Qin Yugang was stunned for a while when he found out in the afternoon, tens of billions—even knowing Tang Qing is wealthy, it’s still shocking.
"Yes, you’re quite well-informed," Tang Qing replied with a laugh.
"I only found out this afternoon. The top city official called me to ask if our province might have a chance; I had no choice but to wait until you finished class before calling you."
This matter.
Left Qin Yugang also quite confounded.
Several tens of billions.
He was tempted as well.
But.
Tang Qing is his own family member.
The decisions made are all about business, and when it comes to business, it’s best not to mix personal feelings, especially for such a big deal. Therefore, since Tang Qing wants to do this in the Shanghai Stock Market, as his uncle, of course, he supports him.
However.
When asked from above.
He could only make this call.
It is estimated that the province itself is aware that as an inland non-economically developed province, attracting this project is almost impossible. Therefore, they just asked him to inquire, without telling him to persuade Tang Qing.
Otherwise.
He would have really been in a difficult position.
"Uncle, this project, it’s not possible for it to settle in our province, not just because of the talent issue, but also the lack of related industrial support. I think the province should also be aware of this," Tang Qing stated with certainty.
"It’s okay, I’m just asking. Everything should go according to your plans," Qin Yugang said with a smile. "The province didn’t ask me to persuade you, just to inquire. Don’t overthink it."
Tang Qing obviously didn’t overthink it.
Fortunately.
The province didn’t give Uncle a tough problem.
"Uncle, how’s the work in the province going?"
"Not bad, I’ve almost finished the visits and research this past month. The main problems are obsolete concepts, outdated equipment, chaotic management, and lack of competitive strength in products... In short, there are many issues," Qin Yugang remarked with emotion.
Not being on the ground.
One really doesn’t know how troublesome the issues are, no wonder the previous few officials couldn’t handle it, and I also understand why the city hopes that I will make an effort in investment attraction. Some enterprises are already pointless both inside and out.
Fortunately.
Not all is hopeless.
There are still some decent enterprises.
It is these enterprises.
That give him the confidence to make changes on his own. Anyway, with the Tang Family to fall back on, he could fulfill the so-called foreign exchange earning and investment attraction tasks in minutes, which allows him to freely implement his ideas.
"Keep it up, Uncle, I believe in you."
"Okay."
...
One week later.
December 4th.
To prevent other provinces and cities from reacting and causing changes.
The city requested a swift battle and swift decision.
Hence.
After the competition among the various districts.
Eventually.
The project settled in the hands of the New District in Pudong.
It can’t be helped, who would argue when they have such a large area! The most critical is that the support facilities, industrial clusters, and talent advantages scored very high, and soon, it will become the second-largest area in the Shanghai Stock Market.
Because.
Shanghai is undergoing administrative reform.
They plan to merge the former Nanhui District into the New District of Pudong, increasing the area of the New District by about double, only secondary to the largest and economically weakest, Congming District. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
However.
Such a big matter.
Is not for Shanghai to decide.
It must be demonstrated at the higher levels.
After a series of discussions, it will be approved. For a complete implementation, it will take at least two years, it’s not possible to file a report today and have it approved next year, unless it’s already the intention of the higher-ups.
Seeing this situation.
Apart from envy.
What more could other districts do?
However.
At least it landed in Shanghai.
It was not intercepted by others.
In the moment they signed the Contract with Luo Qiang.
Only then did they completely let go of their worries.
This time.
The New District offered favorable conditions, the land transfer price was not expensive, and it increased to eight hundred acres, with the additional two hundred acres allowing Qingyuan Technology to occupy a small part of the land to construct employee-funded housing.
Soon.
The area of the New District will be doubled.
Therefore.
The terms offered were quite generous.
