Volume 7, Section 112, Dare to Be the First in the World (3)
This person is very straightforward and seems to be in a state of mind. Sha Zhengyang doesn't hide it: "Secretary Mao, maybe you need to be mentally prepared. Maybe the Han Dynasty will have done a lot before, but it may not be able to see much effect,..."
"If I don't even have this mental preparation, why should I contact the Ministry of Information Industry repeatedly and give so much policy support to China Telecom?" Mao Xiangdong sneered, "I know there are people waiting to see jokes, but I can withstand it! I don't have the ability to do this, so I, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, just stop doing it!"
Sha Zhengyang was slightly surprised, but then he thought, it was reasonable. Didn’t his suggestions on the expressway also attract countless criticisms and doubts? Although Mao Xiangdong is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Han Municipal Committee, his foundation is not solid. Although there are different opinions within the Han Municipality, there are more people in the province who are afraid of being laughed at by the cold eyes.
"Well, Secretary Mao, the commercial operation of adsl has just started, but I estimate that it will enter thousands of households soon. This broadband will greatly improve the efficiency of the Internet industry. However, the initial installation and monthly rental fees are still quite expensive. The initial installation fee is at least 5,000 yuan, and the monthly service fee will not be less than 300 yuan, right?"
Sha Zhengyang pondered, "This is a small or big one for some start-ups. But if the municipal government can install adsl broadband for enterprises engaged in this type of business, and the tax deduction is deducted as a subsidy for these expenses, I think it will definitely be very popular and may even cause a sensation, attracting more such companies to settle in Handu."
Alcatel's first installation in Handu is 500 line, and Sha Zhengyang thinks it is too small, but Alcatel and Handu Telecom both think that with Handu's consumption level and current awareness of the Internet, the 500 line is already considered good. If it is really popular or has a large number of users, you can immediately arrange an emergency to go up the 5000 line.
"Zhengyang, you understand what I mean, the Handu Municipal Government can give better preferential conditions, but I hope to truly see some well-known companies in this field make their fortunes in our Handu. The installation and service fees of adsl are offset from taxes, which can be operated. Even our Economic and Technological Development Zone and High-tech Zone can provide some office spaces, free of rent for a certain period of time to provide the best conditions for the entrepreneurship of these companies...." Mao Xiangdong was ambitious, "I think we Han can do everything we can, and we must try our best to do everything, so that they will never leave after they come!"
"Okay! Secretary Mao, your courage and ideas are so touching. I think that if you can do this, you will definitely attract many people who are willing to develop the Internet industry to start a business. I will give you another suggestion. On the one hand, you can promote students and teachers from several colleges and universities in our Handu City, Handu University of Electronic Science and Technology, and Handu University and communications and information-related industries to participate in this cooperation internship. The government can build bridges between enterprises and schools, provide convenient conditions, and create a good atmosphere..."
Sha Zhengyang has more ideas and more comprehensive.
"In addition, can I use Adsl's commercial operation to launch in China, and invite representatives from some industry authorities and related companies such as Alcatel, Lucent, Bell, AT&T, etc. to attend. You can also invite some experts, scholars and professors related to this industry, such as University of Electronics Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Tsinghua University, Fudan and other universities, and then invite some relevant media, including Sina, Sohu, People's Daily, Science and Technology Daily, etc. to hold an industry forum symposium in the nature of an industry forum. In this way, I think it will help establish the reputation of Handu's Internet Capital,..."
"In short, we must create a place that is most suitable for the survival of the Internet industry. We can even take the initiative to go to Yanjing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. On the one hand, we promote our soft and hard environments, such as the launch of Adsl, and even tax deductions. We can also propose that the government provide free office locations, even single apartments, etc. We also welcome them to cooperate with our local universities in Handu to seek development together..."
"If this forum or symposium is started, you can also use this discussion to actively publish information to the outside world, and then build momentum through some traditional media to make the wind direction as much as possible in a direction that is beneficial to us, and build momentum as much as possible..."
"If such forums or symposiums can achieve the expected results, can we form a routine in the future, and hold such a similar summit forum every year, or even evolve into an industry conference?" Sha Zhengyang's thinking extends further. "This kind of industry conference may even lead to other sub-categories and business cooperation meetings. By then, Handu is in this industry, and the status of this industry can basically be established. We can also let everyone think of working in this industry in the future, first of all, to come to Handu. Everyone who wants to start a business in the Internet industry will choose Handu first, and even those foreign venture capital investors. If they want to find their gold mines in the Chinese Internet industry, they will first come to Handu..."
Sha Zhengyang's description was quite tempting, and Mao Xiangdong couldn't help but smile, "If I can go to that point, even if I, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is not good, it will be worth it."
"Secretary Mao, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done consistently, but it is worth it. The United States has always led the vane of high-tech, and the Nasdaq stock market is a concentrated reflection of its high-tech industry market. Judging from the current trend, the proportion of Internet-based related industries in the Nasdaq market is getting higher and higher and more active. I believe that in the future, there will be quite a lot of our Chinese Internet companies to go to the Nasdaq market to go public, so I hope that most of these companies can go out of our Handu."
Sha Zhengyang's words made Mao Xiangdong very happy. At least this was a good word, and it was also an expectation.
"Well, Zhengyang, I think the idea that Xiang Wei, who has just started to start businesses in the Internet industry, is very feasible. You also talked about the high growth of the Internet industry, and many companies may have emerged from the initial difficulties. If we can give a sufficiently relaxed and superior environment, we may incubate more such companies. Even if many of them fail in the end, if this reputation is made, it will attract more such companies to come one after another. This is our opportunity. We are going to create such an environment. What do you think?"
At this time, Sha Zhengyang really realized that Mao Xiangdong had made a big decision. If Sha Zhengyang said that he was determined and invested in adsl in the early stage, he still felt that Mao Xiangdong might be eager to show his intentions. Then, the practice of fundamental improvement and optimization from the overall working environment is to really build the foundation for the development of this industry. It has to be said that he made a big decision and courage.
"Secretary Mao, are you really going to do this?" Sha Zhengyang pondered: "This means that if a large number of such enterprises come in in the future, the Han Metropolitan Government will provide them with sufficient working environment and related hardware support, and this may not be a matter of one day, two days, one year or two."
"I know." Mao Xiangdong said frankly: "High-tech Zone has just been established. How can we find a path of self-expanding, and we cannot take the same path as the Economic and Technological Development Zone to form competition. I think then we should have a choice. At present, the area of the High-tech Zone has been demarcated. There was originally a building with six floors, which was originally a construction investment company. In the early 1990s, the conditions were good, the surrounding environment was also very good, and it was also very large. I was going to consider the transformation and decoration after the High-tech Zone took over, and then let Telecom follow up to provide support in this regard, and then use this as a basis to leverage all the things you described to me. Well, the tide of the Internet industry,..."
Sha Zhengyang was shocked. He didn't expect that Mao Xiangdong had thought so carefully, which was much beyond his expectations.
Seeing Sha Zhengyang's surprised expression, Mao Xiangdong was a little proud: "This is not what I thought of, it was Ji Guoli, the director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee. He graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology. Hanfei Group worked for a while and later transferred to the Municipal Science and Technology Committee. I felt that his understanding of the Internet industry is no worse than that of him. So after contacting him, the High-tech Zone was established. I asked him to serve the director of the High-tech Zone. This point was mentioned. He directly suggested to me that this building could be named the Science and Technology Innovation Building to move in as a company that welcomes scientific and technological innovation. Their management committee planned to set it on the first floor to serve these companies... "
"Oh? Graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology?" Sha Zhengyang was very interested. "That's the one who works in this industry, a technical official. He may really have a deep understanding of the Internet. Find an opportunity to get to know him."
"Well, if you don't say it, I have this meaning. Of course, the science and technology innovation building he said is not entirely for Internet companies. Others who are engaged in high-tech industries can enter. However, he also believes that the Internet industry may be the industry with the greatest development potential and the strongest momentum among high-tech industries, so this is also a main direction they introduced."
Mao Xiangdong's words made Sha Zhengyang nod, "This is reasonable. There is no reason why Internet companies can enjoy such advantages. Other high-tech industries cannot enjoy them. However, I think the high-tech zones still need to have a clear orientation in this regard. The classification of high-tech industries is complex and needs to have some emphasis, so that the advantages of industrial agglomeration can be reflected in the future."
