Chapter 385: Chapter 194 Public Opinion Promotion_2 Chapter 385: Chapter 194 Public Opinion Promotion_2 Dream Technology aid to penetrate the international market with their products, showcasing the company’s corporate image to the entire world. Thus, a high-quality international advertisent was necessary. To elevate their advertising caliber, Yan Fei specially invited an internationally renowned director to helm the advertisent shoot. To fulfill this task, this professional director had already arrived at Dream Technology, simultaneously designing the advertising plan and guiding Su Tan’er to better fit the style of the advertisent.
While Yan Fei’s Dream Technology prospered in the Jinshan Developnt Zone under Suzhou, there was a mix of envy and urgency in Shanghai. They knew that Dream Technology was originally a local enterprise of Shanghai, yet now they were contributing to the economic developnt of another province.
To bring Dream Technology back to Shanghai, local authorities ford a dedicated task force and sent workers to station outside the temporary headquarters of Dream Technology in the Jinshan Developnt Zone. These workers would seize any opportunity to probe Yan Fei and Lu Pingping’s attitudes toward Shanghai and relay Shanghai’s apologies and very attractive investnt terms. The main goal was to convince Dream Technology to quickly relocate back to Shanghai.
Faced with Shanghai’s fervent invitation, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping did not respond imdiately; they had their own considerations and did not plan to move back to Shanghai just yet.
Dream Technology had previously purchased a Super Mansion in Shanghai’s city area for 7.8 billion RMB. Though the main construction of this once Unfinished Building was complete, it had not been decorated. After the purchase, Dream Technology planned to remodel it as their future headquarters, necessitating a substantial investnt for design and renovation.
When buying the Super Mansion, Yan Fei had also intended to buy 200 acres of idle land around the building to construct their own factory. However, the request was denied by Shanghai officials on the grounds that they never sold such a large tract of land without a bidding process.
In an attempt to win back Dream Technology’s heart, Shanghai played a significant card, offering to sell all 200 acres of land near the Super Mansion to Dream Technology at only 50% of the market value. Furthermore, to show their sincerity, they repurchased 300 acres of land that had already been sold to other enterprises at a high price and then resold it to Dream Technology at 50% of the market value. This way, Dream Technology would have access to 500 contiguous acres of land near the Super Mansion. With such a large area, it would be effortless for Dream Technology to either build a factory or establish a research center on the premises.
Dream Technology initially planned to establish a research center in the Jinshan Developnt Zone, so they hoped to buy a plot of land next to their factory. However, the Jinshan Developnt Zone insisted on following procedures, requiring the land to be auctioned, and stated that if Dream Technology could win the bid, the land would be theirs.
Hence, after Yan Fei and Lu Pingping did the math, they found that the land prices offered by Shanghai were even lower than the starting bid at the Jinshan Developnt Zone auction. Additionally, Shanghai as a financial center held more significant advantages over Jinshan Developnt Zone. Since the land in Jinshan Developnt Zone had yet to be auctioned, if soone staged a setup during the auction, the transaction price would likely be much higher. Therefore, upon consideration of Shanghai’s olive branch, they imdiately abandoned the idea of establishing research institutions in Jinshan Developnt Zone and decided to purchase the land in Shanghai, setting up the company’s research center there.
Following the purchase of the Super Mansion in Shanghai, Dream Technology had already restructured and designed a fresh renovation plan for the building, and the renovation workers had entered the premises.
According to Yan Fei and Lu Pingping’s estimates, at least one billion RMB would be required to renovate the Super Mansion as planned. However, they had recently beco wealthy and naturally did not mind this expense. Since the mansion would represent the company’s face as its headquarters, they saw this as a necessary investnt.
It had been four months since they formally took over the unfinished building, and within this period, over 95% of the renovation work had been completed. All renovations were expected to be finished before New Year’s Day. By March of the following year, the Super Mansion would be ready for occupancy, permitting Dream Technology to relocate their headquarters from Jinshan Developnt Zone to Shanghai.
After acquiring the 500 acres of land close to the new Shanghai headquarters, the construction of the planned research center, a vital part of Dream Technology’s operations, had begun. The research center would beco one of the most crucial structures for Dream Technology, so much so that it could be considered the company’s most important departnt. To construct this state-of-the-art research facility, Yan Fei planned to invest heavily, with no upper limit, aiming to propel Dream Technology to an international leadership position technologically.
Only when the Jinshan Developnt Zone authorities realized that Dream Technology had repurchased land in Shanghai and started building their research center there did they co to a belated realization. They had missed a chance to deepen their cooperation with Dream Technology and deeply regretted it.
