Only five months elapsed from signing contract to breaking ground. "I will not hesitate to give full mark to the preparations here," said Dr. Oh-Hyun Kwon.
After signing the contract, a command group consisting of leaders of Shaanxi province and Xi'an city was set up, said Wei Minzhou, Party chief of Xi'an, and a dedicated office was established at the provincial reform and development commission to exercise centralized leadership over the project.
In only five months, more than 3,000 households in seven villages were relocated to make room for the project; by the end of August, the project had been pulled through a dozen state departments; Xi'an High-tech Comprehensive Bonded Area, the seat of the project, used only 88 days from June to September to obtain approval. "Semiconductor memory is a ‘speed first' industry and our preparations create a new record of ‘Shaanxi speed,'" said Wei.
"Both provincial and city governments rendered us great support," said Kim Yong-kwan, "and the central government also gave us much encouragement so the project could go through examination and approval quickly and enter construction."
Apart from the speedy preparations, efforts to bring in the project also displayed a sense of opportunity.
For four times, Samsung sent teams to Xi'an for project inspection. They were met by the local business-invitation team, who answered more than 1,000 questions with efficiency. Leaders from both provincial and city governments also joined to answer questions.
Shaanxi once missed many opportunities for growth, said Zhao Hongzhuan, and the successful introduction of Samsung displayed an eagerness to seize opportunities.
