Back in his office, Xu Zhao immediately issued a document.
He requested that they purchase an office building, not too big, a building with about fifteen floors would do.
It would serve as an incubator for the new industrial park.
The specific policy was that rent, utilities, and internet access would be free.
Of course, it wouldn't be free forever.
To prevent some people from staying there and refusing to leave.
It would be free for three years.
Actually, with the power and resources Xu Zhao possessed, he could have gone all out and built a grand and magnificent industrial park.
But Xu Zhao didn't want to wait that long, and he didn't need to make money or promote his achievements through such means.
Getting a ready-made office building would cost less and yield results quickly.
...
The next day, Xu Zhao hadn't been seated long when a subordinate came in to report.
"Secretary, I checked yesterday, the court is auctioning off a seventeen-story office building, with over 1,200 square meters per floor. The starting price is sixteen million. What do you think?"
Guo Qiao said.
He was also Xu Zhao's secretary.
Xu Zhao had many secretaries, divided into three departments, handling various tasks for him.
"That's enough. Tell the court not to auction it, transfer two million directly to this project."
Xu Zhao said.
"That shouldn't be a problem."
Guo Qiao nodded.
Actually, they didn't need to add any money, but Xu Zhao didn't want to make things difficult for the court.
"Ensure the smooth operation of utilities and the internet, then we can start operations. We will recruit internet entrepreneurial teams citywide. I will personally oversee this, make those entrepreneurial teams write a plan report and bring it to me."
Xu Zhao said.
"The workload for this might be quite substantial."
Guo Qiao said.
These days, there were many young people involved in internet entrepreneurship, probably thousands or tens of thousands of teams citywide.
If there was a place with free rent, utilities, and internet, there would definitely be many people applying.
"It's fine, this is a project I am focusing on recently, I can spend a little more time on it."
Xu Zhao said.
Specific administrative management was the mayor's responsibility.
As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he mainly focused on the big picture, making decisions on important issues.
Therefore, he didn't have a lot of work to do daily.
Xu Zhao could spare a lot of time to do what he wanted to do.
He continued, "Our Jinghai City has limited resources, it's hard to compete with Jingzhou City in traditional areas. So I plan to vigorously develop the internet industry, this is just the beginning."
Guo Qiao nodded, "The internet is very hot these days, many provinces and cities are doing it. But it's quite tricky, so many places have done it, but only a few have succeeded."
Xu Zhao said, "This is because the internet has a strong monopoly, often only two or three platforms in an industry can ultimately win. Unlike building a factory, you build one and it makes money, I build one and it also makes money."
Guo Qiao realized, "I understand, this is truly a 'one man succeeds, ten thousand men fall' situation. But that being said, it will be very difficult for us to succeed."
Xu Zhao said, "It would be great if we could incubate one or two large internet companies."
If they relied entirely on those entrepreneurs to develop freely, it could be said that nine out of ten would fail.
Therefore, Xu Zhao would definitely use his foresight, select a few excellent companies, and give them some guidance.
Only in this way would they have a chance to stand out in national competition.
He chatted with his subordinates for a while longer.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated, there was a new message.
Xu Zhao opened it and saw that it was from Gao Qiqiang, with an address, apparently the villa he mentioned yesterday.
Putting down his phone, Xu Zhao said, "Get the office building sorted out as soon as possible, no renovation needed, as long as the infrastructure is fine."
Guo Qiao nodded, "Understood, I will start the project as soon as possible."
Seeing Xu Zhao's way of doing things, he guessed that Xu Zhao was eager to get this project done.
This was a good thing.
If it succeeded, his subordinates would also get a share of the pie.
He just hoped that Xu Zhao wouldn't be too ambitious, making a big fuss, and end up accomplishing nothing, leaving everyone to drink the northwest wind.
After Guo Qiao left, Xu Zhao looked in the mirror.
Making sure his appearance was fine, he got up and left.
He still drove there himself.
Since taking the Pure Yang Pill, Xu Zhao's physical fitness had greatly improved, surpassing the limits of ordinary people.
This included his strength, speed, and nerve reactions.
When it came to driving, he drove more steadily than his driver, so he rarely needed a driver anymore.
He arrived at the address provided by Gao Qiqiang.
This was a secluded hillside villa, with few vehicles passing by nearby.
Xu Zhao drove the car all the way into the villa.
Gao Qi Lan had obviously dressed up, wearing a white, tailored suit dress, black stockings, high heels, and still wearing glasses like before.
She appeared very intellectual and elegant, beautiful and charming.
"Secretary Xu, you're here."
Gao Qi Lan, imitating Gao Qiqiang's style, stepped forward to greet him.
"Just you alone."
Xu Zhao got out of the car, closed the door, and scanned the villa grounds.
"Yes, my brother asked me to come alone, saying it's quieter this way, which is conducive to learning."
Gao Qi Lan was doing this for the first time, inevitably a little shy and nervous.
Actually, she hated Gao Qiqiang to death.
"Makes sense, your brother knows how to arrange things. If he put that kind of thought into internet entrepreneurship, he wouldn't be too bad."
Xu Zhao said with a smile, and started walking inside.
"My brother bought a computer as soon as he got back yesterday, and he found a teacher to start learning. My second brother is the same, he heard about making online games, he's really into it."
Gao Qi Lan said beside him.
"You three siblings are all talented. Your family wasn't well-off before, you went astray, but you still managed to make a career. Now you've turned over a new leaf, you're walking the right path, I hope you can all live up to your potential."
Xu Zhao said.
"That's for sure, I'm also in the process of learning."
Gao Qi Lan said.
They entered the villa.
The decor in the hall was simple and clean, except for a potted plant and a painting, there were no unnecessary decorations.
Xu Zhao plopped down on the sofa.
Gao Qi Lan immediately made tea for him and said, "Secretary Xu, do you want to rest for a while first?"
Xu Zhao said, "No, I'm full of energy."
Gao Qi Lan glanced at his face and thought to herself: This Secretary Xu is indeed in good spirits, he's clearly thirty-four years old, but he looks like a young man.
Coupled with Xu Zhao's tall and handsome appearance, he was indeed more attractive than An Xin.
If not for that, Gao Qi Lan wouldn't have agreed to her brother's request under any circumstances.
