Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Chapter 189 The news leaked

The banquet lasted until eleven o'clock that night. Morris and the inspection team drank a lot of wine and returned to their hotel room drunkenly to rest. Qiao Ruida and the guests also dispersed. Some local builders in Decheng City were at the back, discussing whether they could join forces to get a share of the infrastructure construction project of the wafer foundry.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think these Hong Kong businessmen are reliable? Why did this large project worth tens of billions end up in our small Decheng City?"

"From what I've heard, this Shengshi Investment Company is still very powerful. It's also a good project to build a wafer foundry. Once it's done, it will really make money. But the initial investment is too large and the technical threshold is very high. , it’s not something that we fools like us can play around with.”

"For now, the location of the wafer foundry has not yet been decided. Decheng City is just one of the locations for inspection."

"It would be great if our Decheng City can win this project, and we can also take over some infrastructure projects. If the wafer foundry is located in other cities, it will be difficult for us to get involved in such a large project."

"Even if a wafer foundry is established in Decheng City, the projects we can take on are very limited. I heard that building a wafer foundry requires the construction of a large number of dust-free workshops and high-standard laboratories. Small construction companies like us , I don’t even have the corresponding qualifications, and I can’t get any big projects at all. I can only subcontract some infrastructure projects such as canteens, dormitories, and warehouses from first-level contractors, and I can’t make much money.”

"It's a pity that our companies are still too small. We can't afford engineers, nor can we afford experts and professors. We can't handle many demanding projects even if they are given to us."

At this point, everyone sighed. Seeing a big project right in front of them, but suffering from the lack of skills and qualifications to take it on, it was an uncomfortable feeling.

The next day, the team brought by Morris, accompanied by the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, began to conduct inspections in the suburbs of Decheng City, focusing on basic projects such as geology, temperature and humidity, pollution conditions, surrounding noise, etc. These projects are the necessary foundation for building a wafer foundry. If any one of them is unqualified, it will not be suitable for the project to be implemented.

A week later, the inspection team gave its results. There were only two places suitable for building wafer foundries around Decheng City. One location is a reed marsh in the southern suburbs of Decheng City, and the other location is a small town called Luojiaji in the western suburbs of Decheng City. These two places have stable geology, quiet environment, high vegetation coverage, and are not far from the urban area. They are very suitable for building wafer foundries. Considering that many people live in Luojiaji, relocation costs are relatively high and time-consuming, so the factory site was finally chosen in the reed marsh in the southern suburbs.

Next, the business elites Morris brought from Hong Kong and the team sent by the municipal party committee started formal negotiations. The two parties conducted a comprehensive discussion on the investment scale, land purchase, project bidding, water and electricity supply, preferential policies, and other cooperation details. consultation.

While the two parties were negotiating, no one knew who leaked the news. The provincial capital of Beihe Province and several other major economic cities sent people over to visit Morris and the inspection team, offering various extremely favorable conditions in an attempt to transfer Crystal Round out the foundry project and bring it to the city where they are located. Think about it, this is a super large project with a total investment of 700 billion yuan, and it is engaged in a chip production business with a very high technological content. It is so prestigious and prestigious that even the four first-tier cities in China will be jealous if they see it, let alone Let’s talk about these cities in Bac Ha Province. In order to get investment, they really went all out. They proposed all the preferential policies they could think of, including giving away land for free, exempting taxes and fees for five years, and providing housing for factory employees. , give priority to arranging children to enter the best schools, etc.

To be honest, Morris couldn't help but be moved when he saw the preferential policies proposed by these people. He thought about visiting several other cities to see if they would be more suitable for building wafer foundries there. It was Qiao Ruida who resolutely rejected Morris' proposal. The reason he gave was that Decheng City is his hometown and he has deep roots here. He doesn't have to worry about being constrained by others after the wafer foundry is established. If If you go to other cities, it will be difficult to talk about the matter. Besides, building a wafer foundry in Decheng City is also a way for Qiao Ruida to repay her hometown. His hometown has developed well, and he, a Decheng native, has gained a reputation. Like Brother Dong, he spends a lot of money every time he goes back to his hometown, but only a small number of people benefit from it. It is far better to invest in several large-scale projects in your hometown to develop the economy of your hometown and radiate it to more elders in your hometown.

In the first two days, the leaders of Decheng City were still sitting still, and they still negotiated with Shengshi Investment Company unhurriedly, and every penny was worth every penny in terms of interests. On the third day, the Magic City government also sent several officials over and invited Morris and his party to the Magic City to investigate investments. After hearing the news, the leaders of Decheng City finally panicked. You must know that the capital city is the largest city in the country. There are many chip production-related companies there, which can provide a lot of business and support for the wafer foundry. facilities, the threat to Decheng City is too great. The leaders got together and held an impromptu meeting, and then immediately adjusted their negotiation strategies, offered more preferential policies, and made a lot of concessions on taxes and land acquisition payments, striving to reach cooperation with Shengshi Investment Company as soon as possible and sign an investment as soon as possible. protocol.

In this way, Morris and Joe Reda played into their own hands, and the negotiations between the two parties only lasted a week before they reached a final agreement. That afternoon, Shengshi Investment Company, Ruida Technology Company, and Decheng Municipal Government held a grand signing ceremony. Witnessed by a large number of cameras and media reporters, Morris, Qiao Ruida, and Decheng City Mayor Peng Boyu signed their names on the investment agreement one after another, shook hands with each other, and took photos.

When this news was released, it caused a huge sensation in Bei Ha Province. A large project with an investment amount of up to 700 billion has never been seen in the entire Bei Ha Province, and even nationwide, it is very rare. Moreover, the investment and construction of a wafer foundry that is famous for being capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and talent-intensive is really enviable.

"Decheng City is probably one of the most backward areas in Beihe Province. Why were they allowed to pull over such a large investment project?"

"What else could it be? There are talented people in Decheng City. I heard that Decheng City produced a top scorer in the college entrance examination last year named Qiao Ruida. While attending college, she opened an e-commerce company. In just one year, Within a short period of time, I earned a net worth of hundreds of billions. This time, it was Qiao Ruidala who went to Decheng City for the Hong Kong investment project."
