261: Juntu Motors relocates to Zheng County, ushering in a period of great development!

It could be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, Old Brother Zhao was the most unconventional one today.

Relying on the skyrocketing price of North and South Rolling Stock, he managed to catch up with those Hot Money investors who were trading Juntu Automobile.

In the Stock Picking Bar, many Stock Investors now realized that the automotive sector, after being led by Juntu Automobile and going through a series of twists and turns, had unexpectedly become widely known to a large number of Stock Investors.

Furthermore, because of Brother Lin's high regard and his heavy investment in this stock, it directly ignited the enthusiasm for the automotive sector.

The main force wasn't stupid; before, they had no choice.

Now, with a foundation of Retail Investors and the current red-hot bull market, a simple spark could cause a crowd of Retail Investors to rush in.

By April, the automotive sector had thus become another main theme.

Among them, the greatest beneficiary, aside from the major dragon head Juntu Automobile, was the restructuring of North and South Rolling Stock.

As for matters in the stock market, the subsequent trends were naturally all under Wang Lin's control.

Now, he was more interested in Juntu Automobile.

After injecting capital, he successfully completed his absolute controlling stake in Juntu Automobile.

As the first listed company of China's Richest Man, this point was definitely the most important factor for Juntu Automobile to become a super monster stock.

It was also a point that many Stock Investors understood in their hearts.

Within this month, buying it at any time was not a mistake!!

Therefore, the next half month was historically known as the time when the scramble for Juntu Automobile shares was most intense.

At a time point no one expected, Wang Lin completed his absolute control of the listed company.

One could even say that buying Juntu Automobile was equivalent to buying into Wang Lin.

For many Stock Investors, this was not a conflict at all.

In the Stock Picking Bar, many Stock Investors had already decided that even if Juntu Automobile rose to over 20 billion, they absolutely had to buy it.

Not for anything else, just because Brother Lin held an absolute controlling stake in Juntu Automobile.

This was definitely a premeditated purchase.

Juntu Automobile must have some positive news that everyone didn't know about.

Or perhaps, Juntu Automobile attracted Brother Lin due to its impending bankruptcy, dispersed equity, and other factors.

If that was the case, then Juntu Automobile was truly a lucky one.

Wu Kai, that guy, was even more of a chosen, lucky star.

After the capital injection by Junlin Finance, Wu Kai still held 3 percent of Juntu Automobile's shares.

Even so, his current 3 percent was far more valuable than when he had over 6 percent before, and it possessed infinite potential.

This was the common saying: are you willing to sacrifice equity in exchange for the company's strength, or not sacrifice equity and hold onto the equity you cherish?

This trade-off required many people to think carefully.

Juntu Automobile had undergone major personnel changes during this period.

After more than 3 billion in funds were deposited into the company's account, the first order Wang Lin issued was to relocate Juntu Automobile's manufacturing factory to Zheng County.

On this point, even if JAC Motors knew about it, they were completely powerless to stop it.

Fortunately, Wang Lin was very benevolent; aside from those just looking for a free ride in the factory, he packed up and brought all the remaining experienced technicians to Zheng County.

This matter, or rather the relocation of Juntu Automobile, a large manufacturing company with a market value of 10 billion, was definitely a major event that affected the local officials of both places.

Because this represented achievements, employment for workers, stability, and represented many, many things.

It was not something that could be measured simply by money.

The leader of Zheng County was truly happy now.

Previously, he only felt that Brother Lin was someone who could finally allow the great Yu Province, which had been an agricultural province without any voice, to issue its strongest shout to those coastal regions.

On this point, he did very well.

Especially as Brother Lin became more and more outstanding, not only helping the province solve the two major difficulties of Social Security and Pension by securing massive amounts of funds, allowing the financial department to breathe a sigh of relief and allocate limited funds to other more needed places, but he also boosted the reputation of Zheng County.

With Junlin Finance, Zheng County was able to attract the hometown children who had finished their studies abroad and wanted to return.

This point was also very important.

Originally, the leaders were thinking that after two years, once Brother Lin stabilized, they would see if they could try to talk to him about doing some real industry.

After all, when one succeeds, one should help the world; now that Wang Lin was China's Richest Man, he was definitely successful.

So, whether for the sake of him becoming even wealthier, or for the countless unemployed people in Yu Province, this labor-intensive manufacturing type of factory needed to be established.

Against such a complex background, Juntu Automobile emerged suddenly.

This was also a point that made the Zheng County leaders happy.

Brother Lin clearly wanted to build it into a calling card for Yu Province, and he was following the top-level leadership by getting into new energy vehicles.

They did not believe that Wang Lin simply wanted to cheat subsidies; that amount of money was far less profitable for him than operating a wave in the stock market.

This was also a level of trust that no one else could achieve.

Because no one else had his methods and ability to harvest in the stock market!!

"Good, this is a good thing!! Give him land if he wants land, give him people if he wants people, tax breaks or whatever, satisfy everything he wants!!"

The Zheng County leaders were overjoyed when they learned that Wang Lin was relocating Juntu Automobile to Zheng County.

"If people from other places want to block it, spare no cost to clear the obstacles for me!!"

Over in Zheng County, Wang Lin hadn't even said anything yet, but the leaders of Zheng County had already issued the highest directive.

They even requested the establishment of a special working group responsible for this item, treating this matter as the top priority at the moment.

After all, if Juntu Automobile was really brought in through investment attraction, and under Brother Lin's leadership, completed a qualitative leap to become Zheng County's future brand in new energy vehicles, then they, as leaders, would also have face.

To take a step back, with Brother Lin's name attached, this matter would not fall through.

[Juntu Automobile Relocation and Settlement Special Group]

The personnel selected for this group were all highly skilled individuals.

"The superiors require the factory site to be selected within a week. Time is tight and the task is heavy. We will have a meeting in half an hour to discuss this matter."

20 minutes later, all personnel had arrived.

The leading official looked at the staff below and said solemnly: "This investment attraction concerns the birth of an enterprise that could potentially reach a market scale of 100 billion in the future."

"Regarding Brother Lin, everyone should understand. Some people present are even his alumni, so I won't say much more."

"Today we will get straight to the point. Juntu Automobile is about to relocate here, and the superiors believe this is a done deal, so they require us to immediately select the factory site. What are your thoughts?"

As the voice fell, a professional stood up, adjusted his glasses, and said: "I think the Airport Zone is quite good. The geographical location is extremely superior; whether it's for logistics or the transport of complete vehicles, it is very convenient. And most importantly, there is a large amount of industrial land that can be cleared there."

"As Juntu Automobile is the first real industry project Brother Lin is undertaking, I don't think he is just playing around, so we must reserve as much land as possible for them!"

This statement made everyone present light up.

Indeed. There was no place more suitable than that right now.

The leader looked at him with appreciation and said: "Okay, then let's tentatively settle on this place. Later, if there are any other better plans, you can come and talk to me again."

"Now, let's focus on this preset goal for the site selection and start thinking about what problems we will encounter next, and resolve all conflicts in advance!"

Speaking of this, everyone was no longer sleepy.

After all, they were all veterans in this area.

One word after another.

"Compensation for land acquisition should be a cliché problem, and this is also the most difficult thing. The villagers' land in that area is quite extensive, and their demolition and resettlement are both problems!"

"Also, the property rights issues regarding the coordination and integration of such a large area are also very difficult to handle."

"As for construction, the establishment of a factory is not an overnight task, and there will inevitably be problems such as noise pollution."

"There are also supporting facility issues. Although that place is big enough, behind the size is backward infrastructure. Everything needs to be developed from zero. Road problems, living support problems—these all need to be built. Where will the employees live, how will they go about their daily lives?"

"The resettlement of villagers is also an issue. Our people here have lived by agriculture for generations. Now that the land has been taken, although there is some compensation, how will they work in the future? Although the new energy vehicle industry is not very difficult, those older villagers still won't know how to do it. This aspect must also be considered."

The people who could be selected to form this special group were destined to be experienced veterans.

The problems raised were one trickier and harder to handle than the last.

But even if it's hard, it has to be done.

According to their assessment, Juntu Automobile was definitely a super project that could drive the continuous upgrading of employment in the surrounding area.

Once built, it would be an achievement for the present and a benefit for generations to come!

After the leader finished listening to these problems and watched the assistant record them one by one, he scanned the room again and asked: "Are there any other problems?"

"If not, then let's start dividing the work for these problems mentioned so far and solve them one by one!"

...

Wan Province.

As the neighboring province to Zheng County, JAC Motors' leaders also panicked a bit when they learned that Wang Lin had decided to relocate Juntu Automobile to Zheng County.

Damn it.

Indeed, every matter always has its pros and cons.

Because of this matter, an emergency meeting on the JAC Motors side was quickly convened.

Unlike the situation in Zheng County, the leading official here looked worried: "Everyone, speak up. What should we do now? Should we let them leave?"

A person next to him nodded: "We have to let them go, or rather, this is not something we can decide. Is Brother Lin someone to be trifled with? Or is the Zheng County side someone to be trifled with? Besides, we don't have a valid argument either."

The person who voted against it the earliest now sneered, "I knew it. Brother Lin is from Yu Province after all. When he invests in a company, he's bound to relocate it there. We watched Juntu Automobile grow up. This child could have been saved by us, but unfortunately, you gave up on it!"

The person opposite him stood up directly, looked at him, and said, "Watch your language. Don't twist the facts. We all know the situation Juntu Automobile was in back then—drowning in debt. Was the capital needed to save it just a small amount? Not to mention, it had absolutely no profitability."

"In our hands versus in Brother Lin's hands, it's simply not the same company!"

"At the very least, we couldn't pull out 3 billion for such a bold investment. And we should all understand that this isn't the final investment; it's likely just the first batch."

"He has money, he has prestige, he is China's Richest Man. What could we possibly have done?"

With these words, the person opposite him snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Seeing the topic veer off course, the lead official tapped the table: "Back to the main topic."

At the mention of returning to the main topic, everyone's faces instantly filled with worry.

This matter was simply an unsolvable situation.

Since they had given up on Juntu Automobile, they had already lost their bargaining chip.

Therefore, this emergency meeting was destined to end without result.

Meanwhile, inside the Juntu Automobile meeting.

In the absence of Wang Lin, the largest shareholder, Wu Kai personally convened the meeting, looking at the worker representatives below.

He conveyed the Chairman's idea: "Chairman Wang's intention is to establish another Juntu Automobile headquarters in Zheng County. Our location here will be designated as a branch in the future!"

"After all, you also know that Chairman Wang is from Yu Province, so it will be much easier for him to open a new factory over there."

"Of course, that's not what we're here to talk about today. It will take a long time to build the new factory."

"What I mean is, does anyone want to work at the Zheng County headquarters in the future? The wages there will definitely be higher than here. Plus, due to our current layout, once the new factory is built, some of the core equipment here will need to be relocated there."

Look at that.

Who said science and engineering guys are no good?

Don't they know how to talk too?

The official top leaders and the leaders working on the front lines have different ways of thinking.

...

Wang Lin didn't know yet.

His words, his decision.

Had already started to affect everyone, from the top leaders of Zheng County and JAC Motors, the leadership of Juntu Automobile, down to many, many workers, the villagers in the areas needing relocation, and all sorts of people caught in the wake.

This was his current influence.

At his level, a casual investment could change the lives of countless people.

Take the villagers near the Zheng County Airport Economic Zone, for example. If you followed the previous development trajectory, they would have had to wait another 10 years before demolition would reach them.

But now, because of the early arrival of Juntu Automobile, this godforsaken place of theirs had been planned ahead of schedule.

Many villagers were actually in full support of this.

Who wouldn't want their muddy, rain-soaked roads to turn into smooth, clean asphalt roads?

Who wouldn't want their village to be demolished, receive countless demolition compensation funds, and become rich overnight?

But the problem was, this place was too remote, isolated, and under normal circumstances, it would never have been their turn.

But surprisingly, this isolated location actually became an advantage under these specific circumstances.

"Hey, have you heard? We're about to be demolished!"

"Demolished? Are you f***ing dreaming? They haven't even demolished the Fourth Ring Road yet; how would it ever be our turn?"

"Exactly, in this godforsaken place, who would be stupid enough to do that?"

"I heard rumors too. It seems it really is going to be demolished because they need to make room for Juntu Automobile."

"Juntu Automobile? What the hell is that?"

"You all know who this year's China's Richest Man is, right? Brother Lin. He just bought a company called Juntu Automobile. He wants to move the company's factory site here, and the leaders above selected this area."

"That's great! Now I'm going to become a demolition beneficiary!"

"Haha, we have to ask for more money. I heard they compensate each family with several apartments, plus a lot of cash."

"It probably isn't that much now, but it's definitely better than living here. I can finally live in a big house in the city."

...

Inside the Junlin Group building.

Junlin Finance had now completely moved into this newly constructed building.

That day, most of the provincial leaders came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After all, this was Brother Lin; they had to give him face.

Now, the team leader of the [Juntu Automobile Relocation and Resettlement Task Force] arrived at the foot of this building with his team.

Looking up at the towering building, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Amazing! They say a company is one floor, a big company is several floors, but only one that owns an entire building can be called a Group! Junlin Group really has a lot of style now!"

"Let's go, let's go meet the legendary China's Richest Man, Brother Lin, and let you see what it means to be young!"

Wang Lin's office was on the top floor.

After they arrived, Brother Lin was clattering away at his keyboard.

The group looked at each other, assuming Brother Lin was busy working, so they tacitly stood outside without entering.

Leng Nuannuan, however, smiled as soon as she heard the sound: "Um, you guys can go sit in the conference room for a while. I'll have someone bring you some tea."

As for Leng Nuannuan, the legendary angel investor for China's Richest Man, they didn't dare to say much.

They thanked her repeatedly.

After settling the official leaders, Leng Nuannuan walked into Wang Lin's office.

Watching the intense team fight on the computer screen, she sat obediently beside Wang Lin and said, "The people from the official side have arrived. They are probably here to talk to you about the new Juntu Automobile factory."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Alright, wait until I finish this game."

Wang Lin was currently playing a game with Wang Xiaocong.

Since meeting in Hong Kong last time, the two would occasionally arrange to play a couple of games when they had free time.

Wang Lin was not like Wang Xiaocong, who could start a Cat TV stream or even put together a pro team to play.

He could even go on to win quite a few S-series championships.

Wang Lin didn't have those thoughts, but tagging along with Wang Xiaocong's activities and letting those big shots carry him was fine.

Today's gaming session included him, Wang Xiaocong, Zzitai, Rookie, and Kakao—five people in total.

Such a team naturally swept through ranked games.

When Zzitai and the others first learned of this, they were extremely shocked.

Zzitai: "Holy crap, China's Richest Man, Brother Lin. As expected of Boss Wang Cong, he can even pull in connections like this! I must perform well today!!"

Rookie: "China's Richest Man!!?"

Wang Xiaocong laughed, "Perform well today. If Brother Lin takes a liking to any of you, he could casually invest in League of Legends, which would be way more impressive than anything I do!!"

Of course, Wang Lin didn't have any such thoughts.

Just playing games is fine. Actually forming a team? That's for novels in the gaming sector.

But to be honest, having these big shots carry him was much more enjoyable than playing with the noobs in his dorm.

Because Wang Lin and Wang Xiaocong were on voice chat, he could vaguely hear Leng Nuannuan's words: "Brother Lin, is there something work-related? Is it about Juntu Automobile recently?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, the official people came to talk to me. Let's finish this game first."

As for Zzitai, Rookie, and the others, they held their breath the whole time.

To facilitate communication, they were all on the voice chat.

But they didn't dare say anything about such high-level topics.

They didn't understand Juntu Automobile, but listening to Wang Xiaocong's flattery, they roughly understood.

In 3 days, he aggressively threw in several billion, gaining absolute controlling interest in a company worth about 7 billion that was on the verge of delisting.

Now, its market value has risen to over 20 billion.

This kind of terrifying money-making ability—he truly lives up to being China's Richest Man!!

Wang Xiaocong said into the voice chat: "Zzitai, Rookie, Kakao, hurry up and push the enemy base; don't delay Brother Lin's important business."

Wang Lin smiled and shook his head, but didn't stop them.

A few minutes later, after wiping out the enemy team and pushing down the base.

Wang Lin said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and play; I'm going out for a bit."

Wang Xiaocong: "Brother Lin, go ahead and busy yourself; we'll meet up again later."

After arriving at the conference room.

Seeing the official personnel, Wang Lin smiled and said, "Sorry for the wait, leaders!!"

The lead official quickly stood up, walked quickly to Wang Lin's side, shook his hand, and shook his head, saying, "We just sat down. It's normal for President Wang to be busy managing such a large company."

After both sides sat down, the official quickly handed over the prepared document: "Regarding the relocation of your Juntu Automobile, under the instructions of the top leaders, our team has made some plans. Could you take a look and see how these are?"

Wang Lin looked at the plan.

The whole thing was full of various kinds of support from the authorities, such as site selection, subsidies, supporting facilities for production and life, road construction, and so on.

As for the specific details regarding the factory, there was absolutely nothing.

The official smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for thinking of our Zheng County and bringing us such a huge project. We don't have much to help with, so we can only provide some meager subsidies on site selection and taxes."

"Take a look and see if anything is missing. Tell us anytime. We will do everything we can handle, and we will even find a way to handle what we can't!"

"After all, this is a great thing that will benefit us all!!"
