Chapter 614: Offending

Yang Xing has been running around in the Northeast and Northwest during this period. Although he is actually attending the "Nuclear High-tech" acceptance meeting for the entire army, this kind of thing cannot be made public for him, the president of a large multinational company. Therefore, in terms of external publicity, Zhongxing Group said that the president is inspecting the location of a new star city in China, and he will make big moves in China. This is not a boast. After years of rapid development, the cumulative investment of the five star cities in China has exceeded 10 billion yuan. Coupled with the effect of industrial agglomeration, he has become a major profit and tax player in the local government.

Shanghai and Shenzhen have not taken the financial support too seriously. TJ, Jiudu and Shancheng have gained great benefits from the development of their respective Star City. TJ and Shancheng have led a large number of related companies to move in because of Star City. Whether it is the proportion of profit and tax paid to finance or the improvement of manufacturing level, the role of promoting urban development is obvious.

Of course, the one that best reflects the benefits of Xingcheng is Jiudu City. In recent years, the city's GDP has been ranked first in the Central Plains Province, pushing the provincial capital shopping mall aside, and ranks among the top in the nearby central and western provinces. The rich Jiudu naturally devotes his energy to the great cause of developing urban infrastructure and transforming the urban environment.

The world has always been rich and easy to do. Not long ago, the United Nations just awarded the title of "Global Livable City" to Jiudu to Jiudu. This is a rare honor for Chinese cities, which have always been regarded as a severely affected area of ​​pollution. Moreover, in recent years, all officials who have been out of Jiudu have been promoted, mainly because of their excellent political achievements. In addition to the promotion of provincial party committee secretary Li Guozhu and former secretary of Jiudu and current vice governor of Zhongyuan Province, the ability they developed in Jiudu has also achieved good political achievements in Jiudu.

The great changes in Jiudu are seen by discerning people. It is generally believed that Jiudu’s rise over the years is related to the former mayor Kan Dongtian’s resistance and promotion of various reforms in Jiudu. A very important point is that it has received great support from the Central Star City, and the role of role models is endless. In the eyes of other local governments in the country, if they can introduce new Star City, it is a major political achievement!

Therefore, the cities Yang Xing visited all the way attached great importance to his visits and always sent people to accompany him to inspect everywhere. However, the group had already decided that Lan Hai and Chang'an were the location of the new star city, so Yang Xing had to slander with other cities. Moreover, Yang Xing's battle to inspect the location of the new star city outside this time also received another benefit, that is, it put pressure on the political affairs where the original star cities were located.

Jiudu City is Yang Xing's place where Yang Xing made a fortune. There are a lot of friends, old friends and classmates, and the relationship is mixed, so there is no need to worry. Shenzhen is adjacent to Hong Kong, and the Southern Star City and Sky Star City echo each other, so there is no big problem. The southwest Star City in Yangpu and the western Star City in the mountain city correspond to the exits of land routes and sea routes. It is too late to support each other, and it is even more impossible to fight each other.

The northern star city of Tianjin is lonely in the north, and now it has the support of the blue ocean city further north. Faced with the wider logistics channels in Northeast Asia, the Southeast Star City, where Sanduao, the western province of Southeast Sea, has made up for the layout of Zhongxing Group on the coast. They have all received a notice from the headquarters to increase their efforts to invest in the star city, so they all feel relieved.

The news received by Shanghai was very different. The group planned to combine the Hong Kong headquarters and the Greater China branch into one to prevent the structure of stacking and strata and roofing. In addition, investment in Shanghai would also shrink, and several major engineering projects discussed with Shanghai had to be put aside first. After hearing this news, employees of the Greater China branch of Shanghai were worried. Could it be that after the Hong Kong annual meeting was held, the new US President Jack Welch was about to take office, and would he use Shanghai to kill the chicken first and start cleaning up the portal?

Let’s not talk about how the employees of the Shanghai branch of Zhongxing Group were frightened, Shanghai Municipal Government could not sit still at first. When Yang Xing started his career, he insisted on moving his headquarters from Jiudu to Shanghai, because he was attracted by the business environment in Shanghai. Later, the landmark buildings such as "Xinghuayuan", "Xingtiandi", and "Oriental Star" were built here. It was one of the earliest companies in Shanghai to dig out money from the real estate industry. In addition, it acquired many old Chinese brands of Shanghai Light Industry, and then expanded its business to electronics, trade, food, entertainment and other aspects. It can be said that Shanghai is the first springboard for Zhongxing International to go to the world. It is not only a major profit and tax dealer in Shanghai, but also a golden signboard for private enterprises in Shanghai.

Although the headquarters of Zhongxing Group was later moved to Hong Kong and Shanghai became a branch of Greater China, it was still the core of domestic operations. The national leaders visited Shanghai many times and the name of Zhongxing Shanghai was on the list of visiting companies. Now this Shanghai Business Star actually wants to move away. Isn’t this embarrassing the Shanghai leaders? Especially the newly appointed mayor now only has the title of acting mayor. Although it is just a formality and is guaranteed to be upright at the end of the year, the more things happen, the more afraid of something happening. So he quickly contacted Zhongxing and wanted to meet Yang Xing as soon as possible and ask what he meant.

Although Yang Xing is now an international business giant, his domestic official-oriented thinking is still strong. The mayor of Shanghai took the initiative to invite him, but his subordinates dared not be negligent and repeatedly persuaded him to go to the appointment as soon as possible. However, Yang Xing didn't seem to care much, and he still went around the northeast and northwest. It was not until April that he officially signed the settlement plan for the New Star City in the Blue Ocean and Chang'an in the northwest that he slowly came to Shanghai.

Yang Xing rushed to Shanghai, and his name was not to meet with the Shanghai leaders, but to attend the opening ceremony of the world's tallest building, "Oriental Star". After construction in recent years, this building, which was first built by the Japanese and was originally named "Shanghai Global Financial Center", fell into the hands of Zhongxing in the Asian financial turmoil. Although his life was bumpy, it was finally completed. Yang Xing changed the height of the building to 552 meters, which was a little taller than the Taipei 101 building, which was completed next year. It was a little disgusting for the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan, which made the President Ah Bian, who liked to engage in **, no longer regarded the 101 building as a boastful capital. "Oriental Star" would surely maintain the title of "the tallest building in the world" for a period of time.

However, the Shanghai leaders who attended the opening ceremony on the spot smiled a little reluctantly, because many of them knew that at most, as soon as the "Star Piercing Building" in Hong Kong was completed in the year after the completion of the year, the throne of the world's tallest building would be handed over. This situation is somewhat similar to the current relationship between China Star Group and Shanghai, and Hong Kong always has to beat Shanghai.

The filth of both sides has to be discussed in the past. When Zhongxing built Oriental Star, the relationship with Shanghai could be said to be mixed with oil, but then Shanghai sealed Zhongxing's Shanghai branch, and Shanghai Municipal Government has been not actively cooperating with Zhongxing Group's investment projects in Shanghai for other reasons.

Over the past few years, Zhongxing Group has no landmark buildings like "Star World" and "Oriental Star" in Shanghai. The wafer factories and chip factories that were originally planned to be invested and built in Oriental Star City were finally settled in other Star City. In particular, Zhongxing Group recently wanted to launch a 300,000 new energy vehicle production line in Shanghai, but because of land issues, it was finally settled in the western Star City of the mountain city.

The rumors that Zhongxing Group is considering moving to other places cannot be regarded as rumor. Shi City and BJ City are municipalities with very special political status in China. If you can be a city leader, you are often more likely to enter the center than a province. This is not only a shortcut to promotion, but also a checkpoint for all forces to focus on. Back then, "Beijing officials" were in power, and many people in the central government were from Beijing officials, but after the bribery case of the municipal party secretary, the "Beijing officials" were in a slump.

Today's No. 1 leader and Cheng Canghai have both served as leaders of Shanghai. It is also rumored by the public that the "Shanghai Gang" is now the world. However, the news that Zhongxing Group, which has close ties with Cheng Canghai, is about to move out of Shanghai is a trivial matter. I am afraid that it will become an excuse for others to attack. Shanghai's large multinational company that has grown up in China will be forced away. Shanghai's investment environment is worrying!

In fact, the main reason for the friction between Zhongxing Group and Shanghai is Liang Yu. Shanghai Mayor Chen Jishi and Deputy Mayor Wu Mingyao both had a good relationship with Yang Xing, so Yang Xing was doing business in Shanghai. But as soon as Mayor Liang came to power, Secretary Shi next to him secretly hinted that Zhongxing’s staff wanted to get some "filial piety".

Originally, sending red envelopes to political officials is not a big deal. Yang Xing is not a gentleman. When Cha Guoqiang started to promote the "Hundred Cities and Thousand Stores" plan across the country, he turned a blind eye to the local officials. The reality in China is like this, so he could only go with the flow. However, this Secretary Shi's appetite was too big and asked for a huge amount. He also wanted a beautiful employee of the famous Shanghai branch to "serve" him. As a result, after asking for instructions, Yang Xing was flatly rejected, which made him feel disappointed.

Obviously, this offended Mayor Liang. Zhongxing Group's operation in Shanghai is difficult and they always encounter various troubles from time to time. Fortunately, Zhongxing Group's business is spread all over the country, and Shanghai does not dare to rush to it rashly. The two sides are guarding against each other and stalemate for one or two years.

Now Zhongxing Group is posing a desperate situation, and everyone is disbanding, forcing Mayor Liang to have no choice but to bow his head and invite Yang Xing to negotiate. Unexpectedly, Yang Xing can't drag it on, so today he cut the ribbon for the "Oriental Star" building. Although Mayor Liang attended as a political representative, he had no joy on his face and was obviously angry.

After the ribbon was cut, Yang Xing invited him to have dinner in "Oriental Star" and "Kong Fei Niu". Mayor Liang has always been strong and believes that domestic officials will always surpass merchants. Yang Xing, a mere businessman, actually neglected him. He had a prejudice in his heart. After sitting down, he didn't say a word, and only let his Secretary Shi talk to Yang Xing.
