The internet in the mainland is developing relatively slowly, and most of the people here today are middle-aged and elderly, so many don't understand the concept of e-commerce.

Mr. Ma volunteered to explain, smiling as he said,

"To put it figuratively, it's like moving the wholesale market for goods online, so potential buyers from all over the world can learn about prices, inventory, and other information from it. On the one hand, it's beneficial for buyers to compare prices and understand the quality of goods, and on the other hand, it's also beneficial for factories to produce goods according to market demand."

After this explanation, many people began to understand.

"Ah, it's like creating an online wholesale and retail platform. Doesn't that mean we can have a Canton Fair anytime, anywhere?"

"No, no, no, its influence is much greater than the Canton Fair. If all companies put their product information online, displaying it to the outside world non-stop, 365 days a year, the effect of promotion and publicity is self-evident..."

Although many people still didn't understand why this kind of business required an investment of tens of billions, since such a good thing had come their way, and an opportunity to attract investment had been delivered to their doorstep, how could they easily let it go?

After a few rounds of drinks.

Someone promised Su Yehao that as long as the investment scale could really exceed ten billion, he could choose any land in the high-tech zone, and even use the completed office space directly.

Not only the high-tech zone, but there was also no problem with wanting to open a company elsewhere, including tax reductions, exemptions, and policy support. Everything was negotiable.

In addition, some people asked Su Yehao if he had any plans to acquire land in Lin'an, hoping to replicate the model of the Pengcheng Cultural Tourism City and build a landmark commercial and residential complex.

Nowadays, the land price in Lin'an is much cheaper than those special zones along the coast, especially on the opposite side of the Qiantang River, where large tracts of land are used for farming, and it's particularly flat, so there's no need to spend time and effort on land reclamation like in Pengcheng.

Even the Meidi Group, which Su's father financed, was being targeted by them.

A woman with a local accent from the district asked Su Yehao to go back and ask his old man if he had any plans to open a branch factory there. As long as the scale reached a certain amount, the land would be given away for free.

These days.

Various places are vying for investment, and the competition is quite fierce.

Take Lin'an as an example, there is plenty of land, plenty of labor, and many preferential policies, but they lack companies willing to invest money to build factories.

Considering that Su Yehao had become a resident of Casino, investing here would be considered "foreign investment," so many policy supports could be maximized, and giving away houses and land was all small stuff.

To be honest, Su Yehao hadn't considered where to open the company yet.

For tax-saving considerations, registering in the Cayman Islands like other companies was a given, but for the actual headquarters in the mainland, he preferred to locate it in Pengcheng.

In his previous life, when Mr. Ma returned to start his business, he naturally settled down there, but Su Yehao was more familiar with Pengcheng and other places.

The "Thousand-Core City" plan that he had prepared earlier was lacking a major project to use as a bargaining chip to discuss land acquisition with the Pengcheng government, and opening the company there would also facilitate the gathering of talent and resources.

However, development and management could be placed in Pengcheng, but Lin'an was suitable for building logistics warehouses and also suitable for building a second headquarters, arranging personnel to coordinate and manage factories in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and other places.

Doing e-commerce in the mainland, with the current situation, can only target those enterprise-level customers.

As for individual business, there are not many families with computers nationwide, and even if you start trying in advance, who can you sell things to? It's not too late to deploy in a year or two.

During the dinner conversation, Su Yehao didn't commit himself, but only mentioned that he had already been in contact with Pengcheng and would likely build a semiconductor and internet new city worth hundreds of billions. Investing in opening a company here was no problem, but the headquarters would not necessarily be located in Lin'an.

As a benchmark for reform and opening up, and separated from Hong Kong City by a river, Pengcheng has all kinds of preferential policies maxed out, and any good things are given to them first, often as a "test field."

Everyone present, besides envy, was still envy, and it was not surprising that Su Yehao would be more optimistic about Pengcheng.

As for the Meidi Group, Su Yehao, as the investment director who served as senior vice president, felt that he could help his father connect and strive for some preferential treatment in terms of land, taxes, and subsidies.

The new factory in Fochuan is under construction. Home appliances are large items, and producing them nearby can save on shipping costs. If combined with e-commerce, opening a factory in Lin'an to radiate to surrounding areas would be in line with the interests of Meidi Group.

Actually.

If it weren't for the Thousand-Core City plan, it wouldn't matter where the headquarters of the e-commerce business was located.

However, Su Yehao still needs chips to talk about land acquisition with Pengcheng, so he has to concentrate his firepower and strive for more say.

Unlike other parks.

This time, he plans to demarcate an area in the Qianhai area of Pengcheng to build a semiconductor and internet incubator park led by himself. In order to achieve this goal, the larger the scale of investment, the more likely it is to be successful...

————————

After eating lunch on a painted boat on West Lake.

Su Yehao was only slightly drunk when he got off the boat. He had to go to Jianqiao Airport later, and he was afraid of feeling uncomfortable in the sky, so he didn't drink much today.

Those old men and women wanted to keep him for a few more days to visit and see around, but Su Yehao said that he had something to do back in Hong Kong City, so others couldn't keep him any longer, so they could only leave it at that.

However, many people carefully kept Mr. Ma's business card, hoping to continue to stay in touch with Su Yehao through Mr. Ma in the future.

On the way to Jianqiao Airport.

Su Yehao said to Mr. Ma, "Just having a meal, finding this group of people, my head is still buzzing now."

Mr. Ma said awkwardly, "Isn't this because President Su has a big face? If it were someone else, they might not even bother to show up even if you carried them in a sedan chair. If you hadn't said one hundred billion, just a drop in the bucket, they probably wouldn't be so enthusiastic. Now that the plan has been revealed, but you're not letting them take advantage of it, things might be a little difficult next. Are we really going to start a business in Pengcheng later?"

"Yes, the headquarters will be in Pengcheng, which is useful for my other big business."

Taking a sip of mineral water to moisten his throat.

Su Yehao stared at the 550ml Nongfu Spring bottle, looked at it again and again, and thought that business opportunities are everywhere. He continued to tell Jack Ma:

"If these people come to ask you, you can say that they can invest three or four billion to open a second headquarters in Lin'an, which is a branch company, with dual-line development in the south and here. In addition, there is my father's Meidi Group, and there should be no problem with coming to open a factory. You can take the credit yourself. I don't usually deal with them directly. Personal connections are useless to me. We'll discuss the specific plan later. I'll find some talents to come and assist you and try to build the platform as soon as possible."

Understanding that Su Yehao was supporting him and paving the way for him, Mr. Ma was immediately invigorated, and gave a thumbs up and said:

"No wonder the plan changed after it was said. You're giving me credit! With this as a stepping stone, I'll definitely have a smooth business here in the future!"

"Brother Ma, you are a talent. Seize the opportunity. Everyone who works with me knows that if you do a good job with the business, there will be no shortage of cash rewards and equity rewards."

If you doubt someone, don't use them, and if you use someone, don't doubt them.

The main reason why employees feel disheartened is that they don't earn enough, or they are wronged at work.

Su Yehao is confident that he can avoid these two points as much as possible.

Changing the subject.

Su Yehao shook the mineral water bottle in his hand, handed it to Mr. Ma, and said with a smile:

"Take some time recently to help me understand the situation of this company first, and ask them if they are willing to accept my financing. The cost of mineral water is mainly in the bottles and transportation. As long as the advertising is done well, we should be able to earn some pocket money."

Mr. Ma couldn't figure out why he was going to invest in selling water, and only felt that he couldn't keep up with Su Yehao's thinking.

A little puzzled, but he nodded without hesitation and said:

"No problem, I'll take President Su to the airport, and then I'll go there. There is a production address on the bottle, Qiandao Lake Yangshengtang Drinking Water Co., Ltd.... Okay, you can rest assured that I will take care of things. It shouldn't be far from here..."
