Chapter 157 Ten square kilometers should be enough!
"See if you like any of them. They are the top scientific research experts in semiconductors from various universities in China. They have very clean backgrounds."
Xiao Chen handed the document in his hand to Su Chen, and reminded him: "You are the only one who can read this information."
"I understand!" Su Chen took it with a smile.
The entire file is not very thick, consisting of only about twenty resumes.
After looking through it, Su Chen found something interesting, that is, these people are all from the "G7 Alliance", which are the seven national defense universities that everyone is familiar with.
After much selection, only two resumes caught Su Chen's eye. It cannot be said that Su Chen has a broad vision. The main reason is that among these resumes, only these two have practical experience, while the others are only good at theory.
"Let's take these two. You decide whether to arrange it directly or have me visit them." Su Chen said as he handed the resumes of the two people he liked back to Xiao Chen.
"You have good vision. You picked two top experts in semiconductors at once. They have led many national projects, but it's not written here." Xiao Chen did not explain in detail. After all, many things involve confidentiality regulations.
Changing the subject, Xiao Chen said somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm afraid you'll need to go there in person to find these two. Whether you can capture them depends on your ability."
Su Chen also understood what Xiao Chen said. Some people cannot be moved by money. They are more likely to devote themselves to scientific research and think about developing more advanced technologies so that the country will not be strangled by others in certain aspects.
"Okay, I'll go talk to him myself after the New Year. Also, you should urge the old man to get the factory matters done quickly, otherwise a lot of things will be delayed after the New Year."
"Don't worry, it's been arranged!" Xiao Chen said proudly.
Su Chen was a little confused when he heard this. Didn't Mr. Xiao say in the morning that he would study it carefully? How come it was only implemented at noon? Was he teasing him?
Just when Su Chen was confused, Xiao Chen handed him another document, but this time the document was much thicker than the previous one.
"Brother Chen, can you please give it to me all at once? You are making fun of me." He complained, but his hands did not slack off at all. He directly reached out and took the document.
"Zhengdao Industrial Park Transfer Agreement?" Su Chen looked at the document in his hand with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that he would be given an industrial park directly.
"Ahem~ In recent years, the policies have begun to change and focus on environmental protection. As a result, many large chemical companies are not allowed to build factories around the city. Originally, this park was built specifically for heavy industry. Who would have thought that it would be shut down due to policy reasons not long after it was built."
"We have already built five 13-story office buildings, and the park area has reached 10 square kilometers. It should be able to meet your needs."
"Ten square kilometers?" Su Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the area of this industrial park to be so large.
"This industrial park is so large, the transfer fee must be high. It's not like they're giving it away for free." As he said that, he turned the document to the page about the transfer amount. To Su Chen's surprise, the transfer fee was not much, only about less than 20 million.
Su Chen showed a bitter smile on his face, "With this amount of money, I'm afraid the locals will hate me to death."
With an area of ten square kilometers, even if the land is sold, it will cost more than 20 million. This amount of money is at most the initial investment and the cost of building those office buildings.
By this calculation, the land was really given away for free.
Xiao Chen also knew Su Chen's concerns. It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. If someone in the local area is trying to make trouble for him, it will definitely delay Su Chen's plan.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. On the contrary, we will solve all your worries. However, you have to provide at least one thousand jobs before the end of this year." This is considering that Su Chen has just taken over, and it will take a lot of time just to build the factory.
What Xiao Chen didn't expect was that a thousand jobs were so easy for Su Chen. After all, there were hundreds of civilian technologies there, and as long as he found the right people, he could quickly build a large factory.
Not to mention one thousand, as long as Su Chen is given time, even ten thousand or thirty thousand positions will be easy to get.
After carefully reading the transfer agreement, Su Chen signed his name confidently.
"Brother Chen, you said this. I will come to you if any problems arise." Su Chen said jokingly and handed the signed transfer agreement to Xiao Chen.
"Don't worry, the old man has personally spoken. As long as you have any problems, I must solve them for you!" It seemed that after dealing with Su Chen's affairs, Xiao Chen felt a lot more relaxed.
Hearing this, Su Chen's heart was moved, and he said with a smile: "You're right, there just happens to be something that needs your help."
"Uh~" Xiao Chen was also confused. Why did he ask for help right after he finished speaking?
"Tell me what's going on."
"I want to open a security company to be responsible for the security of my company's future industries, so I would like to ask you to find some retired soldiers." Su Chen's idea did not come out of nowhere. After all, after the industrial park is completed, his own research laboratories will start operating.
These all involve some confidential research, so security issues will definitely be the top priority at that time. If we recruit some security personnel from the society, some problems are inevitable.
If he is a retired soldier, then there is no need to worry about anything. Su Chen knows him well and can feel at ease using him.
"How many people do you want?"
Su Chen pinched his chin and thought: "Let's start with a hundred!"
"One hundred?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Chen. If the number of people was small, it would be fine, but Su Chen wanted one hundred right away, which was a bit difficult.
You have to know that the demobilization season has passed for two months. Some outstanding retired non-commissioned officers have basically been arranged for work, not to mention those other retired soldiers from all over the country. How is it possible to find so many in a short period of time?
"Okay, okay. I'll get them all for you in half a month." Xiao Chen was also a little helpless. The words had already been said. Could he take them back?
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chen left on the pretext of having something to deal with. In fact, he was worried that if they continued chatting, Su Chen would think of something else and ask him for help.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, why are you still here?"
Su Chen was also impressed by these two. Ever since he returned to the imperial capital, they had been eating and drinking at his place all day long. He had thought that he could have a good rest at home during the Lantern Festival today and recharge his energy for the next things.
Who would have thought that just after lunch and when Su Chen was about to take a short rest with some tea in the middle courtyard, he saw Jiang Yang and Chen Yao walking in carrying a few boxes.
"Since today is the Lantern Festival, I plan to take you to see the lantern festival in the evening. By the way, the Lantern Festival snacks I brought you were specially bought at the Huguo Temple." As they spoke, the two of them placed the boxes in their hands on the stone table.
"Garden Lantern Festival?" This piqued Su Chen's interest. You know, Su Chen had seen this lantern festival on TV, such as admiring lanterns and guessing lantern riddles.
But I have never seen it in reality.
"Well, it's near Shichahai, not far from where you live. Let's go shopping together after dinner!"
After Jiang Yang and the other person sat down, he consciously poured each of them a cup of tea.
"Okay, I'll go and broaden my horizons too."
In the blink of an eye, it was night, and after dinner, Su Chen and others went out. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Su Chen was attracted by the night view of Shichahai. Different from the previous scenery, the railings around the embankment were full of small lanterns, and even the willow trees beside the riverbank had many lanterns hung on them.
The entire Houhai Lake is illuminated by the lights.
Following Jiang Yang, the other two came to the Lotus Market where the garden party was being held in Shichahai. There was a constant stream of tourists visiting, and it took them a lot of effort to squeeze in.
"Wow! Such a huge dragon!" Looking at the giant dragon lantern in the center of the venue, anyone would be confused.
"This is still considered a small one. If you go to Qinglong Lake, you can see bigger ones. It is said that this year's giant lantern dragon is more than 100 meters tall!" Jiang Yang said this with a hint of pride.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's Mr. Jing who really knows how to enjoy himself." Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. If it were in his hometown of Fuzhou, the most he would do was hang some small lanterns, and sometimes even use the colorful lanterns for New Year's Eve.
In addition to the lanterns, there are many fun activities, such as guessing lantern riddles and releasing light boats, and the whole scene is very lively.
Originally, Su Chen and his friends wanted to play the lantern riddle guessing game to experience the joy of the Lantern Festival and see who has the better brain. However, when they saw the crowded lantern riddle guessing scene, everyone tacitly looked for something else to play.
Launching a light boat gives me a sense of participation.
We played until about ten o'clock in the evening, and then had a midnight snack together before going home.
Jiang Yang and the others originally wanted to play for a while longer, but they had to go out of town tomorrow. Su Chen also hinted that they were probably going to the south and the north, but he did not ask where specifically.
After the Lantern Festival, some were walking around, some were busy, and Su Chen finally had some time to relax.
During this period, Yu Qian and Wu Jing came once and brought a lot of local specialties to Su Chen.
The main reason for coming was that Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2 was about to start filming, and he came to tell Su Chen about it before leaving. For this, Su Chen even paid for a bottle of collectible Maotai.
"Calculating the time, university has already started!"
Su Chen looked at the two resumes in his hand and planned to go to Northwestern Polytechnical University first to recruit the semiconductor expert, and then go to Harbin Institute of Technology to visit his own industrial park.
The Zhengdao Industrial Park now belongs to Su Chen. The day after the Lantern Festival, Xiao Chen sent him all the relevant documents and procedures.
After collecting the resume, Su Chen arranged for Chen Fei to contact the captain of the private jet and arrange the trip to Xi'an.
He went back to the study and fiddled with something for a while before coming out with a handbag.
Xi'an is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. The biggest impression Su Chen had was roujiamo and the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I landed at Xi'an Airport. As soon as I walked out of the business airport security check, I saw the hotel staff holding a sign with Chen Fei's name on it, looking around.
This time I booked the Ritz-Carlton Hotel again. I had stayed there several times before and it was pretty good.
After Chen Fei met with the hotel staff, he was led by them and got on the hotel's special car for airport pickup.
The Xi'an airport is a little far from the city, and it takes about half an hour to drive there.
The driver was very familiar with the place along the way, explaining the fun places in Xi'an. The most interesting thing was that the driver told them that it would be best not to join any tour group, saying that nine out of ten tour groups are scams, and one is the worst of the scams.
Su Chen thought he was not a local, but when he asked, he found out that he was not only a local, but also had worked as a driver for a tour guide group before, and he knew everything about this place.
Especially when Su Chen found out that even the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang had a fake scenic spot, he opened his mouth in surprise.
Doesn’t the tourism department take care of this kind of thing?
The answer I got was that it couldn't be controlled, but the reason was unknown.
Su Chen learned a lot of interesting things from the driver, such as which places are fun and which places to avoid, so he had an idea in mind.
After arranging the hotel, Su Chen and Chen Fei did not rest. It would be inconsistent with Su Chen's image as a foodie if he did not go out for a walk after coming to Xi'an, the city of food.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel where Su Chen and his friends stayed is located on Keji Road in Yanta District. It is very close to the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, just a few minutes’ drive away.
It was already around six o'clock in the evening. As soon as Su Chen and his friends got out of the car, they saw the lights of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps lit up.
"Oh my goodness, this Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps is something special. The lights are on and it looks so magnificent. If you don't know, you would think we have returned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty." It was the first time that Chen Fei saw such a scene, and he was stunned for a moment.
Although it is time to go back to work after the New Year, there are still many people coming here to play. It’s not crowded, but it’s not much better either.
After half an hour, after watching the tumbler girl and some talent shows, Su Chen found a restaurant that looked pretty good and walked in.
Su Chen ordered three roujiamo and two servings of mutton soup buns.
The funniest thing was when the waiter put a bowl and a membrane in front of the two people, their surprised looks made many people laugh.
It was an uncle sitting next to them who cleared up the confusion for Su Chen and the others: when eating mutton soup steamed buns in Xi'an, you need to break the steamed buns into very small pieces yourself.
The steamed bun didn't look big, and it took Su Chen a lot of effort to break it.
"Oh, I didn't expect eating would be so difficult." Su Chen rubbed his sore fingers and sighed.
This time the waiter moved very quickly, and in a moment two bowls of mutton soup steamed buns and three roujiamo appeared on the table.
"Sure enough, everything local tastes the best!" Su Chen took a bite of the roujiamo, the taste was indescribable.
In one word, it’s “delicious”!
Many roujiamo restaurants in Xi'an are halal, and the meat they use is either beef or mutton. They taste much better than the pork from other places.
Three roujiamo were not enough for Su Chen and Chen Fei, so they ordered three more.
When the two came out of the restaurant, they both had their hands on their waists.
The reason is simple: I ate too much.
After eating and drinking, Su Chen was no longer in the mood to continue shopping, so he simply went back to the hotel.
"It's nine o'clock. I guess that person hasn't gone to bed yet." Su Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, looking at the lights of the Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps in the distance and muttered to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Su Chen took out his cell phone and made a call.
