"Build a branch factory in Xucheng?"
In the private room, Chen Yansen seriously considered Xu Zhenhui's proposal.
Generally speaking, site selection for a mobile phone assembly factory focuses on factors like infrastructure, industrial support, labor resources, and the policy environment.
Xucheng's labor costs were low, but there were no component suppliers in the city or its surrounding areas. And before the Beijing-Hu and Longhai railway lines opened, its accessibility was far worse than Shencheng City's.
Besides, a mobile phone factory large enough for over ten thousand employees would take at least a year and a half to go from site selection, planning, design, and approval to construction, inspection, and finally, operation.
Xu Zhenhui had been in charge of Xucheng's affairs for two years. By the time the factory was built and showing results, he could use it as leverage for a promotion. But his five-year term was also nearly over.
