Chapter 219: Going to the Gao’s Dinner Party (Part 4/4)

“Besides, the company’s products can also be shipped to all parts of the world by sea.”

Tang Feng said a lot in one breath.

“Mr. Tang, you’ve mentioned a lot! Daocheng District does have a significant logistical advantage! The annual container throughput of Daocheng Port has always been among the top in the country. Of course, if you choose to set up Huafang Company’s headquarters in Daocheng District, we will also provide significant convenience in customs clearance,” Director Xu responded.

“Director Xu, we came here mainly to discuss land and tax issues. How do you consider this on your end?” Lin Bin inquired.

“To be honest, if you want to invest and build a factory in Daocheng District, we really can’t offer that much land. However, we can provide ample land in the development zone. The development zone is only about five kilometers from the port, which wouldn’t add much to the logistics cost,” the other party answered.

“What about taxes? Do we get the same benefits as those foreign companies from Korea?” Lin Bin continued to ask.

“How could it be the same! Currently, our incentives for foreign companies are for three years! For Huafang Company, we are willing to offer a tax exemption for five years! After the five-year tax exemption period ends, only half of the taxes will be collected for the next five years! Mr. Tang, Mr. Lin, you should be able to see our sincerity, right?” Director Xu answered.

Tang Feng and Lin Bin exchanged glances.

The conditions offered by the other side in terms of taxes were indeed beyond their expectations.

“Director Xu, we are indeed quite satisfied with the conditions you’ve offered. Could you take us to the development zone for a field inspection later?” Lin Bin suggested.

“No problem! The higher-ups have already said that whatever plot of land you are interested in, it will definitely be given,” Director Xu agreed readily.

“That’s great! If nothing unexpected happens, Huafang Company’s headquarters will be set in Daocheng District.”

“Mr. Lin, I know you were the founder of Jingfang Company. Why did you leave Jingfang Company?” Director Xu asked with interest.

“The reason is simple! There’s nothing that can’t be said. Jingfang Company wanted to import the 6.5-generation panel production line from abroad, and I agreed with this. However, later on, I met Mr. Tang. He wanted to cooperate with Jingfang Company to develop the 8th-generation production line directly! This would surpass the currently most advanced 7.5-generation production line abroad! Unfortunately, the directors of Jingfang Company disagreed. I had no choice but to sell all my shares and then use that money to cooperate with Mr. Tang to establish Huafang Company,” Lin Bin honestly replied.

“Mr. Tang, can you really develop the 8th-generation production line?” Director Xu’s tone carried a hint of doubt.

After all, the most advanced production line abroad was only at the 7.5-generation!

“Of course!” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “I have already mastered all the technology of the 8th-generation production line! As soon as this project is settled, we can immediately start the development work!”

“How long will the development process take?” Director Xu inquired.

“Since we already have the overall technology, the entire development process will take at most one month,” Tang Feng answered.

“That quickly?” Director Xu was clearly taken aback.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “But what I’m talking about is the production line. It might take another month before the first batch of panels goes on the market.”

“So, it means that in two months, the first batch of products can be marketed. Is that right?”

“About that.”

“Mr. Tang, how about this? If Huafang Company doesn’t have the first batch of products within three months, then we will no longer provide tax incentives to Huafang Company,” Director Xu negotiated.

After all, in his view, Huafang Company was currently just a shell.

Apart from having capital, it had nothing else.

The launch of products was even more uncertain.

If there was a risk, he would have to take responsibility.

“What if the products are launched within three months?” Tang Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

“The tax exemption period will be changed from five years to ten years,” Director Xu answered.

“Are you serious?” Tang Feng’s eyes lit up.

“Of course! We can sign an agreement at that time!”

“In that case, it couldn’t be better! Let’s first go for a field inspection! If there are no problems, we’ll come back and sign the cooperation agreement,” Tang Feng said.

Everyone stood up.

Then, they left the meeting room.

Just as they were about to get into the car, Tang Feng received a call from his father.

“Little Feng, have you finished there?” his father asked.

“Not yet! We’re going to the development zone for a look! Have you arrived?” Tang Feng inquired.

“We just got to the seaside,” his father replied.

“You guys have a look around first. I’ll come to find you after we’re done here,” Tang Feng said.

“Okay,” his father nodded.

The call ended.

The group got into the car.

“Has Uncle Tang arrived?” Su Xiaoli asked softly.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “They are now at the seaside.”

“Should I go find them?” Su Xiaoli volunteered.

“No need,” Tang Feng waved his hand, saying, “After we finish the field inspection, we’ll go together.”

“I guess they will invite us to eat,” Su Xiaoli worried.

“I’ll have Mr. Lin join them,” Tang Feng said.

“Would that be alright?”

“It’s fine. As long as the business deal is successful.”

Seeing him say so, Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything further.

Soon, they arrived at the development zone.

Plot after plot of land appeared before them!

“Mr. Tang, Mr. Lin, these lands have been specially cleared to offer to companies that come to invest in Daocheng District! Just tell us which one you’re interested in, and don’t be shy!” Director Xu said generously.

“How much land is there?” Lin Bin inquired.

“About three thousand,” Director Xu answered.

“We need at least two thousand. Of course, if you’re willing to give us all three thousand, that would be best,” Lin Bin boldly stated.

“Can you really use so much land?” Director Xu was puzzled.

“The first phase of the project definitely won’t use that much. But there will certainly be a second and third phase later. Besides the factories, we also need to build a number of apartments. This way, workers will have a place to stay,” Lin Bin replied.

“Besides these, there are also schools and supermarkets, etc. If the District is unwilling to provide these, we can build them ourselves,” Tang Feng added.

“Schools? You mean to let the employees’ children attend school nearby?” Director Xu asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “This way, it can ease the employees’ worries.”

“But that would be quite a burden for the company,” Director Xu reminded.

“As long as the company can make money, these aren’t significant. Moreover, for the company, these will turn into advantages! It will also be quite attractive to employees!” Tang Feng laughed.

“I think Mr. Tang is right! If there are good schools around the company, employees will definitely be very happy to work here!” Lin Bin said.

“I’ll need to report this to the District to help coordinate. After all, schools are not under my jurisdiction. But with so many employees of Huafang Company, it’s indeed necessary to have schools nearby,” Director Xu stated.

“Director Xu, giving us all these lands shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Lin Bin asked.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem! But if you’re given so much land, you also need to utilize it quickly! Otherwise, if it’s reported later, it could be troublesome,” Director Xu warned.

“Don’t worry! Once the first phase of the project is put into use, the second phase will also be quickly initiated! After all, we’re running a company and want to make more money,” Lin Bin solemnly promised.

“That’s good! Mr. Tang, Mr. Lin, it’s getting late. I’ve already arranged lunch. Let’s go directly to the hotel,” Director Xu said, checking his watch.

“Mr. Lin can go with you! We won’t go,” Tang Feng stated.

“Ah? Mr. Tang, do you have other arrangements?” Director Xu was clearly surprised.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “My family knew I was coming to Daocheng District, so they specifically drove over from Binjiang District to see us.”

“In that case, I won’t say anything more. There will be more opportunities to eat together in the future,” Director Xu said.

Then, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli bid farewell and left.
