Chapter 376 A new global technology landmark that rewrites history!
After speaking with senior provincial government officials on the phone, Qin Han flew to Zhengcheng three days later.
As soon as the plane landed at Xinzheng Airport, the gangway was already full of people waiting to welcome him. A senior official from the provincial government led the team, accompanied by a number of department and bureau leaders. Their neat suits and leather shoes shone solemnly in the sun, and the gold-plated words "Welcome Chairman Qin Han" on the reception sign at the front reflected a dazzling light in the breeze.
"Boss Qin, I've been waiting for you to come!"
The provincial government official stepped forward quickly and shook Qin Han's hand tightly. The warmth of his palm conveyed his full enthusiasm. "We in Zhengcheng have been looking forward to having a leader like you return to invest in our hometown for many years!"
The voice has not fallen,
The staff behind me handed me a bouquet of flowers, and the rich fragrance instantly filled the air.
Qin Han was completely numb!
No way, isn't it a bit too grand?
A high-ranking official from the provincial government came to welcome me personally. What a grand occasion... I am so awesome!
The convoy drove all the way to the booked hotel. The police cars clearing the way attracted the attention of pedestrians on both sides of the road. Many citizens stopped to watch and talked about it.
In the hotel's banquet hall, the provincial government specially prepared a welcoming banquet with hometown characteristics.
The aroma of spicy soup mixed with the wheat fragrance of stewed noodles, and the classic Henan cuisine of baked carp noodles sparkled golden on the turntable.
A senior official from the provincial government personally poured local liquor for Qin Han, raised his glass and said, "Boss Qin, your return has given a boost to the development of Zhengcheng! If you have any needs, just let us know. The provincial government will fully support you!"
After three rounds of drinks, the topic naturally turned to headquarters construction.
The provincial government official put down his glass and said solemnly, "Don't worry about the land approval. I have convened a meeting with the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other relevant departments, and set up a special team specifically for the Infinite Automotive Headquarters Project."
He took out his phone and looked through the dense chat history in the work group. "Look, from today on, all approval processes will be given the green light. We will have someone to coordinate with you and handle special matters."
The director of the Department of Natural Resources added: "Mr. Qin, we have reserved 300 acres of the core land in the East District for your company. We will try to complete all the relevant planning adjustments and land transfer procedures within a week. If you have any special requirements, such as the shape of the plot and surrounding facilities, please let us know and we will make changes immediately!"
The director of the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also immediately stated: "We will arrange the most professional team to follow up on the construction permit and construction supervision. As long as it meets the safety and environmental protection standards, all the processes that can be simplified will be simplified, and the project progress will definitely not be delayed."
Qin Han was even more surprised when he saw the enthusiastic bosses in front of him.
Is this a bit too enthusiastic?
What he didn't know was that the provincial government had already found out his identity in the past few days.
When senior provincial government officials learned that Qin Han was not only the new chairman of Infinity Auto, but also the boss of Niu Niu Capital, he had successively invested in Vision Trust, Hi-Tech Energy, and Deep Quest Artificial Intelligence.
This is amazing!
Any of the following three companies are quite remarkable and awesome enterprises.
For example, Vision Trust is now the most well-known investment and financial management company in the country. Its financial products are popular all over the country, with hundreds of millions of investment users. The amount of funds is rising steadily. According to information obtained from the bank, the amount of funds of Vision Trust will exceed one trillion by the end of this year at the latest!
Think about it, how many investment and financial management companies in the country have funds exceeding one trillion yuan?
Just one or two...
There is also Deep Quest Artificial Intelligence. The products of this company are currently popular all over the world. They have rewritten the backward situation in the field of artificial intelligence in China and have been praised by countless people as products that are related to the country's destiny!
The prospects are immeasurable!
As for Gaoke Energy, this new energy battery company is a listed company, and its market share is also among the top in the country. Although it is not as awesome as Vision Trust and Deep Quest Artificial Intelligence, it should not be underestimated!
After reading this information, the provincial government and the provincial party committee were shocked.
A senior official from the provincial government went to the home of the commissioner overnight. The two had a long talk and finally reached a consensus that they should treat the matter seriously, show full enthusiasm, and do whatever it takes to satisfy the other party and get them to build their headquarters in Henan Province.
That’s right, it’s Henan Province, not Zhengcheng.
From their perspective, the entire province is something they need to consider. In their view, as long as Qin Han builds its company headquarters in Henan Province, it will be a huge victory!
As long as Qin Han builds the company's headquarters in Henan Province, the future impact will be immeasurable and unimaginable.
It is foreseeable that Henan Province's financial industry, artificial intelligence, and new energy will be deeply affected and develop rapidly. You must know that these industries are all sunrise industries, and the talents in these industries are all high-tech talents.
It was a pity that the Chairman had to attend an important meeting, otherwise he would also be at the banquet.
But Qin Han didn't know all this. Seeing so many big guys expressing their support and being so enthusiastic and polite, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Qin Han picked up his wine glass and stood up: "Thank you for the support of all the leaders in my hometown!"
After the banquet,
The provincial government officials personally accompanied Qin Han to visit the land reserved for the project. Under the moonlight, the flat land was endless, and the lights of the CBD in the distance were bright, outlining the vigorous vitality of urban development.
The senior official of the provincial government pointed at the plot of land and said with great anticipation: "Mr. Qin, this will be the new landmark of Zhengzhou in the future. People in the province are looking forward to this day!"
Qin Han curled his lips. It is a landmark, but after so many years, it is still the same.
It's okay during holidays, there are crowds of people here.
But at night, this place is deserted and looks like half a ghost town.
If it were someone else, they might have been fooled, but Qin Han was a native of Zhengcheng. Although he was not from Zhengcheng, he often came to Zhengcheng to play and shop before he went to Shanghai.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the situation in Zhengcheng.
Since the East District is a new area, all the infrastructure is newly built and the design concept is also relatively outdated. Overall, it looks trendy, clean and grand. This is the only advantage of this place.
As for the rest, sorry no.
We just came here to take a look today, and it’s not the time to make a decision to sign the contract, so Qin Han didn’t complain about anything. He just looked around with a smile on his face.
In the next few days, Qin Han and his team transformed into a "city inspection team" and visited every corner of Zhengcheng.
High-tech Zone, Economic Development Zone, Changxihu New District, Xingcheng East District, etc.
Wherever they go, the accompanying staff record in detail data such as transportation networks, supporting facilities, and surrounding land prices. The drone hovers in the air, turning the city texture into a three-dimensional model and projecting it onto a tablet computer.
Senior officials of the provincial government noticed Qin Han's subtle attitude towards Zhengdong New District, and specifically instructed all departments: "During President Qin's inspection, the data must be fully open and unreserved."
As a result, the Planning Bureau quickly sent over the ten-year development blueprint, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau opened its underground pipeline database, and even the traffic police department shared real-time traffic flow heat maps.
During one inspection trip, the deputy mayor in charge of receiving the team even temporarily stopped the road construction so that Qin Han's team could observe the road planning more smoothly. But after a long journey, they finally arrived at Zhengdong New District.
There is no harm without contrast, and there is no contrast without contrast.
Although Zhengdong New District has its shortcomings, it is much better than other places!
The shimmering lake surface reflects the unfinished financial island buildings, and in the wetland park on the shore, citizens take their children for a leisurely stroll.
"The ecology here is really good." Qin Han stopped for a long time, his fingers unconsciously stroking the buttons on his cuffs, "But it's too far from the high-speed rail station, and the commuting cost for employees in the future will be too high."
The person in charge of the park nearby was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He immediately stated that he would report to the leader and apply for a line adjustment plan.
Qin Han smiled and turned around and said, "How much land can you give me in the East District? 300 acres is not enough..."
What?
300 acres is not enough???
The person in charge's brain crashed. After a long pause, he quickly said, "That's easy. We still have some land reserves in the East District. If 300 acres is not enough, we can add more. I will report this to the leader."
Qin Han nodded and stopped talking.
That night,
The lights in Qin Han's presidential suite conference room were brightly lit.
The map covering the table is densely covered with labels of various colors. Red ones mark transportation hubs, blue ones mark commercial centers, and yellow ones represent potential competitors.
Shen Lan pushed the inspection report in front of him. Su Wanru said beside him, "Boss, considering all factors, Zhengdong New District is still the best choice. It has an international airport. Xinzheng International Airport has opened more than 300 routes, including more than 70 international cargo routes."
"From here, goods can reach major economic zones around the world within 24 hours, which is crucial for the group's future layout of overseas markets, transportation of core components and high-end products."
She tapped the tablet and called up the logistics data: "The international logistics park next door is a big advantage. The China-Europe Express (Zhengzhou) runs regularly, with more than 20 trains departing every week. It can not only greatly reduce transportation costs, but also use the network along the 'Belt and Road' to quickly radiate products to the Eurasian continent."
"In addition, the 'M'-shaped high-speed rail network and dense highways in the region are intertwined to form a three-dimensional land and air transportation system, which can achieve efficient access for both business travel and cargo transportation. Moreover, as the city develops, a smart logistics hub is being planned and built here, which can be seamlessly connected with the group's autonomous driving logistics system in the future to further improve supply chain efficiency."
Qin Han stared at the location of Zhengdong New District on the map, which was circled twice in red.
He recalled that when he passed by the convention and exhibition center during the day, in the newly completed smart city experience hall, the future vision of Zhengcheng planning was slowly unfolding in the holographic projection - driverless buses shuttled between buildings, and smart logistics networks covered the entire city, and this piece of land was the core of the blueprint.
The next morning, a senior provincial government official received a call from Qin Han.
"Leader." Qin Han's tone was full of determination. "After careful consideration, I choose Zhengdong New District."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a hearty laugh: "I knew it! Mr. Qin, don't worry, from today on, this piece of land will be the 'special zone' of Niu Niu Capital, and the supporting facilities and talent introduction policies will all be upgraded in the future!"
After a pause, he continued, "I heard that Mr. Qin thinks 300 acres is too small?"
Qin Han took the phone away from his ear, turned on the speakerphone, and glanced at the headquarters design sketches spread out on his desk. The streamlined outlines drawn by the top architectural team glowed with metallic luster under the desk lamp.
He picked up the phone again and said calmly, "Boss, I want to build more than just an office building. Infinite Auto plans to integrate the entire industry chain of new energy batteries, smart driving, and vehicle manufacturing in the next five years. It will also build a global R&D center, a super factory display area, and a new energy technology incubation park."
“I’m afraid these 300 acres are not even enough for the first phase of the project.”
The other party's breathing became heavier, but Qin Han did not pause and continued: "Apple's spaceship headquarters covers an area of 280 million square feet and can accommodate 1.2 employees. The headquarters campus I want to build must not only be comparable in scale, but also surpass it in technological content."
"Here we will have the world's first full-scenario autonomous driving test closed-loop system, and every shuttle bus and logistics vehicle in the park will become a technology verification platform!"
"The building's facade is integrated with third-generation perovskite photovoltaic materials, and the self-sufficient energy system can support 90% of the entire park's electricity needs. A three-dimensional smart garage will also be built underground, which will be connected to the city's transportation system in real time to achieve the ultimate commuting experience of 'car finding person'."
There was a rustling sound of papers flipping through the phone, probably the other party was checking relevant information.
Qin Han picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then continued to throw out his important plan: "Not only that, I plan to move the global headquarters of all my industries here. In the future, Niuniu Capital's financial sector, Lightning Energy's R&D center, and Tianwen Intelligence's algorithm center will all form a closed industrial ecological loop on this land."
“Imagine that when engineers achieve a breakthrough in battery technology upstairs, the production line downstairs can immediately conduct mass production tests; when financial experts analyze market trends, the R&D team next door can immediately adjust product strategies!”
"This kind of efficiency deserves the title of 'New Global Technology Landmark'."
"Mr. Qin!"
The provincial government official's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. "You should have said that earlier! I will call an emergency meeting now to coordinate with the land and planning departments to re-demarcate the land. Double it. Is 600 acres enough?"
"If that's not enough, there are still large tracts of high-quality land waiting to be developed in the Zheng-Kai Industrial Belt, which has convenient transportation and is close to the Free Trade Zone, just enough to meet your needs for the layout of the entire industrial chain!"
Qin Han raised a satisfied smile. The city lights outside the window were bright, as if he had foreseen the high-tech city that would rise from the ground in a few years.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. However, the final design of the headquarters of Niuniu Capital has not yet been released. I can't say how much land is needed. Tie, I have another request..."
Hearing this,
The senior officials of the provincial government were worried, wondering if he wanted a loan.
At this time, Qin Han's voice was heard again: "I hope the government can provide greater support in terms of policies, such as establishing special industry funds and opening up a green channel for talent introduction, so that this land can truly become the 'Silicon Valley of the East' that global scientific and technological talents yearn for."
It turns out it’s not a loan!
The senior provincial officials felt relieved instantly.
He was just thinking that if he really wanted a loan, he could help make the contact.
If such a large area is to be built into the Silicon Valley of the East as described by Qin and Han dynasties, how much money would be needed?
I'm afraid even tens of billions won't be enough!
Qin and Han alone would not be able to bear the cost, and it would be a disaster if the project was left unfinished halfway through. Not only would it not help Zhengcheng take off, but it would also become a stain on Zhengcheng, which would not be worth the loss.
The provincial government official was relieved and was in high spirits. He laughed and said loudly, "Leave it to me!" "I want the whole world to know that Zhengcheng not only has a rich history, but also has the confidence to rewrite the future!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
