Chapter 381 The Moon Is Brightest in My Hometown

Luzhou is the last stop of Fang Zhuo's first round of city inspections, and it is also a stop added temporarily.

He did not expect that the polite inspection would be met with the most sincere reception.

Such a place, such a leader...

There are not many places that can attract Fang Zhuo in the semiconductor wafer factory project, and Luzhou is the fourth one.

Yangcheng, Luzhou, Shencheng, Beijing, Lin'an.

Fang Zhuo's mental ranking is basically like this.

Yangcheng's current conditions combined with the city's future development, it is still the best. Although Beijing has not been inspected yet, Fang Zhuo is confident that he can get good conditions because of the performance of the Medical Science Group in Beijing in the first half of the year.

Luzhou should not have been on the list. Even if the project team set a second round of city inspections, it would be a relatively weak one.

A very simple comparison:

Yangcheng's fiscal revenue last year was 24.5 billion, and Luzhou's estimated revenue was 6 billion.

Yangcheng's GDP last year was 322.4 billion, and Luzhou's was 41.28 billion.

Yangcheng's secondary industry GDP last year was 122.4 billion, and Luzhou's was 20.7 billion.

The data indicators vary greatly.

This gap will also have an impact on enterprises, for example, the cost of attracting talents in Luzhou will inevitably increase.

Even if the leader took out the city card of USTC...

But USTC is indeed a very good and excellent school, but it lags behind Xidian University in Chang'an, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Dongda University, Posts and Telecommunications University and other schools in the field of microelectronics.

If it really wants to settle in Luzhou, then...

Fang Zhuo and the leader began to seriously consider this issue on the way to the welcoming banquet.

Luzhou does have shortcomings and gaps, but it is not without advantages. Just mention seven or eight, no, five or six, no, three or four...

Just say the most important one.

The leadership team here can regard projects as the greatest treasure.

Fang Zhuo could feel the leader's eagerness for development. Since Luzhou could provide funds comparable to those of Guangzhou, could offer better preferential policies, and could attach the greatest importance to a project initiated by a layman like himself...

It would not be a bad idea to settle here.

Funds are important, talents are important, and the future of the city is important, but there are various ways to deal with them. Projects like wafer factories require a long period of time, and they need to be calm and work hard, and they need long-term support.

Once a city like Luzhou is invested, it is also trapped in it in disguise.

Fang Zhuo is a villain first and a gentleman later, and is more willing to look at local support from a relatively long-term perspective.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the motorcade arrived at the hotel for the reception, and Fang Zhuo met with the leaders of the province and the city.

He almost had an illusion that he was the superior leader who came to Luzhou for inspection.

He met all the leaders of Luzhou, big and small, from the city to the district, from finance to personnel.

How did he meet them?

The leader Wang Shushan accompanied him through the process. The implication was clear: once the project was implemented, the young president must have a green light all the way, and all departments must cooperate.

At the welcoming banquet, hometown was still not mentioned. The topic revolved around semiconductors. Occasionally, they talked about Yike's well-known players, and some online registrations in Luzhou.

Fang Zhuo looked at some department leaders who were obviously studying semiconductor knowledge and racking their brains to talk about this topic. He felt both funny and... respectful.

Not too much alcohol was drunk at the dinner, and the project team and local leaders were very sober.

At 9:30 in the evening, the welcoming banquet ended, the leaders left, and the big leaders said goodbye one by one.

Wang Shushan held Fang Zhuo's hand and said sincerely: "I hope Mr. Fang can see our pure heart and seriously consider Luzhou."

Fang Zhuo solemnly agreed.

The city leaders of Luzhou also shook hands with Fang Zhuo: "Mr. Fang, we in Luzhou are not as rich as other places, but as long as Mr. Fang is willing to give Luzhou a chance, we will definitely not let Mr. Fang down."

Fang Zhuo didn't want to smile at this time, and still shook hands solemnly to avoid being frivolous.

After all the leaders left, the project team held a discussion in the boss's suite.

Fang Zhuo explained the conditions one by one.

In fact, at the welcoming banquet, leaders of many departments directly talked about the relevant plans, including the project water supply guarantee of the wafer factory, welfare subsidies for employees after they moved in, and the call for high-quality teaching resources in the city...

The attitude shown by these plans is that Luzhou is gathering the city's strength to keep the wafer factory project.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the project team has heard local cities talk about the water supply guarantee of wafer factories. Semiconductor manufacturing requires a large amount of stable water supply. For example, a 200mm wafer factory with a monthly production capacity of 40,000 pieces will use 8,000 to 10,000 tons of water a day.

Everyone really felt the sincerity of Anhui Province and Luzhou.

When Fang Zhuo said "1.3 billion, 10 years of tax exemption", the entire project team looked at each other in surprise.

This offer was more generous than that of Yangcheng, the most economically developed city in the country, which had been talking for several days.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and Associate Professor Yu Jun gave a unanimous sigh: "The leaders of Anhui Province and Luzhou are bold!"

"They are indeed bold, but if you ask me, I still choose Yangcheng." Lecturer Zeng Xiaoyang shook his head and said, "Yangcheng brings much greater intangible conveniences and benefits. Not to mention the same investment figures, even if Luzhou gives 200 million more, I feel..."

"The leadership team is very important. I now think we can settle in Luzhou." Yu Jun, who had persuaded Fang Zhuo when he came, changed his position. "Leadership support and full support from the leadership are two completely different things."

"Not really. The leaders in Yangcheng are also very good."

"Just talking about the leadership, the attitudes of the leaders in several cities towards our project are all OK. Luzhou's foundation is too poor. This is not something that can be solved in a short time."

"The relevant majors of USTC are not among the top ten in China. If you ask me, it is better to go to Chengdu and take a look. There are a large number of talents there, and their vision for the industry may not be inferior to Luzhou."

The project team argued for a while, and most of them still disagreed to settle in Luzhou.

In the end, everyone looked at the boss who was smoking by the window.

This project was started by Fang Zhuo. Although he was an outsider and claimed to weigh the opinions of many parties, the team knew that he would definitely make the final decision.

Fang Zhuo smoked slowly, looking out the window at the night view that was completely different from that of Shanghai.

The night view of Guangzhou is just like that of Shanghai, with all the lights and bustle of a big city.

Luzhou is much darker, with only a few lights dotting the entire city in the quiet night.

Fang Zhuo took the last puff of his cigarette, glanced at the brighter full moon in the darkness, and sighed.

"The moon is brighter in my hometown."
