Chapter 89

Originally, regarding the company's site selection and such issues, Li Mingyang felt quite torn.

The source of his hesitation wasn't how much money would be spent, but mainly whether the company should be located at his school or at his hometown.

Although Li Mingyang wasn't exactly a good person, nor someone with particularly lofty ambitions, he remembered having read a certain saying.

He said that studying hard wasn't meant to let him escape his impoverished hometown, but to let his hometown escape poverty.

Although the country has now declared comprehensive poverty alleviation, after all, different places still have disparities.

And the place where Li Mingyang's hometown is located, compared to truly developed areas, can be described as heaven and earth apart.

Moreover, Li Mingyang has full confidence in his drone company, even though he hasn't even formally established it yet.

But Li Mingyang believes that giving himself a few days to develop, his drone company will surely become a unicorn-like presence in the industry.

Perhaps such a company placed in a big city wouldn't be much of a deal; although it would certainly deserve attention from higher-ups, to a big city it would merely be the icing on the cake.

But if he chose to place the company back in his hometown's small place, not to mention other things, not to mention the talent his company would bring.

Not to mention letting the economy improve for various reasons, just saying that his enterprise placed there would generate annual tax revenue.

Just this alone would be enough to let his impoverished hometown, that small town, or even the entire county develop better, wouldn't it?

Li Mingyang himself could hardly imagine what reputation and status he would have in his hometown at that time.

Moreover, his hometown also has many nice places that attract Li Mingyang's heart.

For example, many large companies domestically have coincidentally placed their databases in his hometown.

And regarding future development trends, Li Mingyang is also quite clear in his mind that it will definitely be the era of the internet and AI.

And under such a development trend, his hometown will surely become a central hub of the industry in the future.

If he were to establish his company there early on, it would also bring many benefits.

Moreover, because that place is relatively underdeveloped, locating there would likely also enjoy many local preferential policies.

But having said that, if he placed the company at his school, although that place once flourished, it has now declined.

Economic development there is not much better than his hometown's, yet placing the company there could also enjoy many preferential policies.

Most importantly, this place has a solid industrial foundation for the development of his drone company.

Whether it's components or anything else, placing it here allows easy allocation of various resources.

Next comes the connections aspect: in Ice City, within the entire Northeast region, he already has two top academicians as his teachers.

Moreover, his alma mater backs him; with such connections, as long as he doesn't break the law or cause disorder, he can practically walk sideways across this Northeastern land.

He needn't worry at all about some petty troublemakers harassing his company's development.

Therefore, no matter where he ultimately places the company's site, it holds a deadly attraction for Li Ming.

After wavering in his mind for half a day, eventually the school side gradually gained the upper hand.

After all, compared to those illusory reputations, Li Mingyang values more the early development of his company.

If he must help build his hometown, he can simply wait until the company develops and then set up a production factory there or something similar.

By then, he could genuinely boost local employment and economy, after all, it's just hiring production workers without many technical requirements.

But if he set up the company from the start in such a remote place, in such a desolate location, he might even run into difficulties with the simplest talent recruitment.

……

Wanjiang UAV Company, registered capital…… one hundred million!!!!

When the Ice City Administration for Industry and Commerce received Li Mingyang's registration documents, even the bureau chief, a middle-aged man, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Although Ice City is indeed a big city, he hadn't received such a huge capital registration in a long time.

After all, the current economic situation in the entire Northeast isn't very good; both capital and talent are experiencing unstoppable outflow.

Unexpectedly, someone would still choose to invest this much in such an era and establish a new company on this land.

Moreover, from the name alone it's clear this must be a company focused on high-tech development; drones…

Although at Harbin Institute of Technology it doesn't seem particularly rare, with many people able to make them, that doesn't mean there's no threshold to this thing.

To develop a mature and stable drone system and survive in the market, the product they launch will certainly differ from the little toys made in school.

It can also be considered a bona fide high-tech product, right!

As for this drone company, the bureau chief naturally attached great importance to it; within less than half an hour, all the materials were placed on the mayor's desk.

Because the location is somewhat special, the market actually has some understanding of many things.

Regarding the disciples of the two academicians, the mayor may not have paid explicit attention, but he has heard some rumors here and there, making the name Li Mingyang somewhat familiar to him.

After all, the higher-ups have issued an order to build a world-class battery group in Ice City.

And in the shareholder structure of that group, Li Mingyang's name appears prominently, occupying the top position.

Even without thinking, just using his big toe, the mayor could guess that this Li Mingyang must be a rare top talent.

This is a big shot who has already entered the upper echelon's vision; someone like him would invest a full hundred million of funds here to establish a new company.

Moreover, it's a technology industry strongly advocated by the state; the mayor naturally would support it with both hands and feet.

Under the mayor's direct orders, all procedures for Wanjiang UAV Company proceeded unusually fast.

In less than a week, not only were all the formalities approved, but the business license and such had already been delivered into Li Mingyang's hands.

Even the needed factory, through the municipal government's active matchmaking, allowed Li Mingyang to quickly acquire a suitably sized processing plant that met the requirements.

In other words, Li Mingyang, within less than a week, can now announce to the outside world the establishment of the Wanjiang UAV Group at any moment!

And product launch events and the like can naturally be convened at any time.
