Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 94 [Obtaining 18 acres of land to build a new headquarters for the super science and technology park]

After the episode, Xiao Yu turned to look at Yun Shu and said, "Say hello to Old Xu, ask him to go around Linzhou City and choose an address, and then talk to the relevant parties in the city. The company will take 1.8 acres of land, which is 1200 million square meters of land."

Xiao Yu added solemnly: "This land will be used to build the company's new headquarters, production base, R&D base, and employee living quarters, etc."

Yun Shu was immediately surprised: "There is definitely no such large plot of land in the city center. Even if there is, we can't afford it. We can only go to the suburbs. The area of Huawei Songshan Lake headquarters is only 1900 acres. Do we really need such a large area?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Just because it's not needed now doesn't mean it won't be needed in the future. Take some more and reserve it. If it's not needed now, plant more ornamental trees, gardens, parks, etc. When you want to expand in the future, just level the land."

At this point, Xiao Yu leaned back on the sofa and said, "We are now a large technology company. Wherever we go, we can immediately increase the surrounding land prices. Even if it is a suburb where no one cares about it now, if we set up our new headquarters there, the land prices there will soar. If we don't take more land now for reserve, it will be more troublesome for planning in the future."

Yun Shu nodded thoughtfully: "That's true, but the area is still too large. I'm afraid the city won't approve it."

Xiao Yu laughed happily when he heard this and said, "Our company does not rely on government subsidies, and last year we were directly ranked as the number one taxpayer in Linzhou City. The total tax paid last year was 265 billion. Where can you find a high-tech company that pays 34% of its revenue in taxes? Huawei's is only 14%. If you don't approve it, aren't you afraid that I will move the company away?"

The total tax paid by high-tech companies usually accounts for 10% to 20% of their revenue. The reason why Lingjing Technology's total tax paid accounts for such a high proportion of its revenue is that Xiao Yu did not ask for various tax incentives for technology companies. He originally needed to lower the company's profit margin, so not only did he not ask for policy benefits, he also did not find any way to avoid taxes.

There is no doubt that with such an astonishing proportion of tax payments, Lingjing Technology would be regarded as the God of Wealth in any city. If it were to go to other provinces, the provincial government would probably hold the leaders of Linzhou City accountable.

Because Linzhou City is a third-tier fiscal city, its fiscal revenue must not only support local development, but also pay taxes to the national treasury and the province where it is located.

If Lingjing Technology moves to another province, not only will Linzhou City lose a huge source of fiscal and tax revenue, but the province will also lose the same. The leaders of Linzhou City will be held accountable.

Xiao Yu saw that Yun Shu had made a note of what he had ordered, and immediately added: "The new headquarters and R&D base of AVIC Linfei Company will also be put in there. When Lingjing Technology acquires the land, we will set aside an area and transfer it to AVIC Linfei Company."

Yun Shu nodded and noted it again, saying, "No wonder you want such a large area. If you start other new companies in the future, do you plan to do the same?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Smart."

There is a high probability that new companies will be established in the future. Xiao Yu’s plan is to put them all together and turn this 1.8 acres, or 1200 million square meters of land, into an ultra-large independent high-tech industrial park, and they will all be his own companies.

This makes management easier, especially for confidentiality.

After all, Xiao Yu knew that what he was developing were all products of black technology. Building an independent high-tech industrial park to avoid the mixing of outsiders could reduce the potential risk of various spies sneaking in.

……

After Xu Changming received Xiao Yu's decision, he immediately implemented it. He is also a person with strong execution ability.

The next day, I met with relevant leaders of Linzhou City. When I learned that Lingjing Technology was going to acquire a piece of land of 1.8 acres, the city was also very shocked.

After learning of Lingjing Technology's demands, the city's leadership team immediately held a special task force meeting to conduct in-depth research and discussion on the matter. The city attaches great importance to this because Lingjing Technology is currently the most prestigious large enterprise in Linzhou City.

This company also gave birth to a richest man who was only 29 years old. This company has also become the largest taxpayer in Linzhou City. As a listed company, this company is among the top three A-share companies with a market value of one trillion yuan.

This series of titles cannot be ignored.

The city was very worried that if it could not meet Lingjing Technology's demands, the company might be "abducted" by others. Even the first-tier cities were very eager for it. If it was really "abducted", it would be a disaster. So just one day later, the city gave a reply, which was so efficient that it could be described as the speed of light.

……

the next morning.

"The city gave me a reply yesterday. Not only was it efficient, they told us directly to choose any piece of land within the jurisdiction of Linzhou City. Any land we chose would be approved directly, and they would only charge a symbolic 1 million yuan for the land transfer fee." Xu Changming said with a smile. He was discussing this matter in Xiao Yu's office at the moment.

After a while, Xu Changming looked at Xiao Yu and added: "In addition, the city has promised to guarantee that if the location we choose is relatively remote, it doesn't matter. The necessary urban infrastructure will be extended there, including schools, hospitals, roads, etc., which will be newly built in the surrounding areas."

Lingjing Technology wants to acquire such a large plot of land of 1.8 mu, which is definitely not possible in the center of Linzhou City. Apart from anything else, the demolition cost is absolutely unbearable.

However, Xiao Yu had no plans to acquire land in the city. In a sense, in the long run, it was not Lingjing Technology that chose the city center, but wherever Lingjing Technology was, that would become the new city center.

This may not be reflected in the short term, but it will inevitably become so over time.

Once the location of the company's new headquarters is determined, the surrounding area will quickly prosper. The company's employees will have high incomes and naturally high consumption. There will definitely be people who come to serve this group and make money from them.

As a result, various commercial shops will definitely appear in the surrounding area, and food, clothing, entertainment, etc. will gradually come into being.

Over time, people doing business will need to buy property here, so real estate companies will also come here, acquire land and build houses in the surrounding area. Gradually, it will become more and more prosperous, and after a long time it will become a new urban area.

At this moment, Xiao Yu crossed his legs and said, "The city's support is so strong, so let's choose a site as soon as possible."

How can the support not be strong? It paid 265 billion yuan in taxes last year, and has bright future prospects.

The city’s leaders are also aware of Lingjing Technology’s strong technological monopoly in the field of graphene, and future tax revenues will surely increase rapidly.

The most important thing is that Xiao Yu not only did not engage in so-called reasonable tax avoidance, he did not even apply for some special tax incentives for technology companies, and paid all taxes in full.

Such enterprises are almost worshipped as the God of Wealth, for fear that they will be dissatisfied with Linzhou and move away.

As long as Lingjing Technology shows its intention to relocate, many cities will probably send people to negotiate the next day or even that day.

In the following days, Xu Changming arranged for people to select a site for the new headquarters. He even arranged for a Feng Shui master to participate. It seemed inappropriate for a high-tech company to consider Feng Shui when choosing a site.

This is not Xu Changming's superstitious Feng Shui, but a fusion of traditional culture. Its cultural attributes are one of the reasons why Lingjing Technology values it.

Another thing is that Feng Shui is not some kind of metaphysics. It is a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the geographical environment, natural climate, and architectural layout. After all, Lingjing Technology is going to build a large-scale project this time, and it also hopes to achieve the vision of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
