âThe two of you poured a bucket of cold water on me, making me lose the mood to work,â Lin Yi didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âPresident Lin, donât be discouraged.â Qi Xianzhao comforted him.
His status was different from He Yuanyuan and Shen Tianzhuo, so he was very clear about his relationship with Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi had treated them well for a long time, he didnât dare to be too rash.
âThis matter isnât completely settled. If thereâs good policy support, it can still be done.â
At this moment, He Yuanyuan walked over.
âIs there a tax deduction policy?â
âNo, there isnât. If there were, 1 wouldnât be tasked with this job.â
âFrom a perspective of interests, itâs quite challenging,â He Yuanyuan explained.
âThe domestic market is no longer the first choice. Large manufacturing factories like ours usually move their factories to Southeast Terra. If we choose a domestic location without policy support, the inland region would be the best choice.â
Lin Yi understood what He Yuanyuan meant. Economic development couldnât be done without policy support. As a businessman, these were all factors to consider.
âActually, the situation isnât as pessimistic as we think,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âThe transportation here is convenient. Itâs at the intersection of the three cities, and itâs not far from An Province. Although itâs not the best choice, itâs not the worst either. Even if we build a factory here, we wonât lose money. At most, weâll earn less. If we can get beneficial policies in the future, itâll be even more perfect.â
Qi Xianzhaoâs abilities werenât just confined to his work. High emotional intelligence was also a significant part of his skillset.
It wasnât good to always pour cold water on others when they came here to help the poor.
Shen Tianzhuo also realized this.
âNow weâve already started researching the three-nanometer lithography machine, and the five-nanometer lithography machine is ready for mass production. So, chip manufacturing is something we must secure. However, we could establish the relevant low-end supporting industries here,â Shen Tianzhuo explained.
âThereâs also Tonghua Electronicsâ mobile phone business. We can set up additional factories here. Just like President Qi said just now, with Lingyun Groupâs current scale and size, as long as the scientific research side can keep up, we will almost always turn a profit. Itâs just that weâll earn less. If we can get some beneficial policies in the future, itâll be like adding wings to a tiger.â
âSince Director Shen and Brother Qi have said this, I wonât dampen your spirits.â He Yuanyuan said.
âIn the next one to two years, the Lingyun Group will focus on the photolithography machine, chip manufacturing, and mobile phone business.â
âThe supporting industries for lithography machines are already set up and canât realistically be moved. However, when it comes to chip manufacturing, there are still opportunities to be tapped, and itâs important for us to intensify efforts to establish a foothold and capture a first-mover advantage,â Shen Tianzhuo emphasized.
He Yuanyuan changed her posture and continued,
âSince the semiconductor industry is already monopolized, we shouldnât worry too much about the chip sector. Letâs turn this place into Huaxiaâs semiconductor industrial park and aim for something big.â
Qi Xianzhao was a bit conservative, but He Yuanyuan had a radical side.
This was vividly reflected on this point.
âMonopolizing the semiconductor industry is enough for me to handle. Do you really want me to monopolize the chip industry too?â
âWhat are you afraid of?â He Yuanyuan said nonchalantly.
âWhether you go all in or hold back, itâs all the same. With my Senior Sisterâs qualifications, as long as you donât meet an accident before youâre 40, sheâll have no trouble finding a new opportunity for you to live off of.â
âI really want to stab you.â
Qi Xianzhao and Shen Tianzhuo laughed. They were already used to the two of them bickering
âPresident Lin, 1 think this plan is feasible too,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âLetâs go with this plan for now, and in the future, if we can obtain some supporting policies, weâll work together on that.â
Lin Yi nodded. âThatâs whatâs happening right now. Hurry up and come up with a plan. Weâll discuss it in a meeting and see what the other executives think.â
âGot it.â
âThen thatâs all for now. You guys can go back too. Settle this matter quickly.â
âGot it, President Lin.â
âBy the way, I have something to tell you,â He Yuanyuan said.
âThe foundation is preparing to support Dongsan County a second time. They plan to support them with 800 to 1 billion yuan.â
âThatâs not a problem,â Lin Yi said, âJust let them do their job. Donât tweak things just because Iâm here.â
âOkay! Iâll go back and tell her.â
With that, the four of them parted ways and Lin Yi returned to the county.
However, on the way back, he received a call from the person in charge of the foundation, Zhao Ling.
âMr. Lin, weâve already prepared the second round of support plan for Dongsan County. It includes targeted goods worth around 800,000 yuan and public aid of 200,000 yuan.â
âYouâve always been in charge of this aspect. Just follow the companyâs procedures.â
âDo we need to coordinate with you about our people going there tomorrow?â
âIs there a need for coordination?â Lin Yi asked.
âThese supplies are for the subordinate villages and towns. It doesnât have much to do with the county, right?â
âBut weâre a business after all. If we spend the money, we have to also build a good reputation.â
Lin Yi smiled. âI understand what you mean, but 1 wonât go with you. You guys can come straight to the county. If you have something else to discuss, weâll talk later.â
âWhat about your identity?â
âKeep a low profile. This is not a place to show off.â
Zhao Ling smiled. President Lin was always so straightforward.
After talking about the second aid package, Lin Yi hung up.
He first went to have a meal and then went to the office.
In the office, other than Li Qingkai and Li Sijin, there was also a young man present.
He looked to be in his late twenties. He wore glasses and had a buzz cut. He was dressed appropriately and gave off a refined feeling. He was standing in front of Li Qingkai and talking to them.
âLittle Lin, let me introduce you.â Li Qingkai put down his teacup and said.
âThis is the director of the County Development Office, Zhou Feng.â
Lin Yi nodded as a greeting.
Lin Yi still had an impression of this person. He seemed to be a relative of some second-in-command.
However, when Zhou Feng saw Lin Yi, he did not do anything and was even a little wary.
âLittle Lin, 1 saw Little Guo come back yesterday. She wasnât in a good mood. Did you two quarrel yesterday?â
âSheâs just a slacker. 1 canât be bothered with her.â
Li Qingkai patted Lin Yiâs shoulder earnestly.
âAlright, calm down. After all, sheâs a girl.â
After saying that, Li Qingkai smiled. âBut Iâm quite curious. Your conditions arenât bad either. Why are you here?â
Lin Yi chuckled. âIâm serving the people.â
âWhat a good way to serve the people.â Li Qingkai laughed out loud.
âYou ran around all day yesterday and all morning today. How do you feel? Any leads?â
âOf course. We need to recruit some businesses. Otherwise, we can forget about escaping poverty..â
