Reborn Tycoon Rise

After Matthew left, Xu Zhi didn't think about it anymore. In fact, as early as a month ago, when orders from the Xiangjiang factory began to increase, Xu Zhi asked He Guoyuan to contact several RB motherboard factories and start discussing cooperation. Things.

As the direct manager of the company, He Guoyuan understands that even if core components cannot be produced, they cannot be supplied by just one company. This is related to the security of the company's production strategy.

This is the relationship between Apple and Samsung in later generations. Apple's profits are booming, but a large number of core components have been monopolized by Samsung. Apple has always wanted to get rid of its dependence on Samsung. For a period of time, it has been supporting domestic BOE, Lens Technology, etc. companies in the field.

Samsung is even more powerful. It calculates Apple's annual shipments and then forces Apple to give it a very high proportion of huge orders, otherwise it will not supply the goods. In addition, Samsung's mobile phones are also Apple's main competition. Rivals, the conflict between the two is as fierce as a volcanic eruption, but cooperation still exists because Samsung monopolizes too many basic technologies and Apple cannot do without it.

Of course, Midea does not have to worry about this situation now, but the layout must start from now on. The chip factory is not in a hurry, but the motherboard factory has been put on the agenda.

Everything is inferior, only real estate speculators make you rich!

This is the case in Hong Kong. Midea Group plans to invest US$2 million to build the most advanced motherboard production factory in the world. This kind of investment is extremely popular anywhere. However, He Guoyuan had a conflict with the Hong Kong government over this matter.

The environmental requirements for motherboard factories are extremely high, and they cannot be built in industrial office buildings. They can only be built on flat land, which requires a large amount of area. However, the Hong Kong government refuses to allocate a piece of land on the grounds of market freedom. According to the current situation in Hong Kong The price of land in the Kowloon Industrial Zone alone is as high as tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for the motherboard factory land.

Of course Midea refused to do it, and the Hong Kong government refused to give in. Some people in the Industrial Bureau, including a few Chinese leaders, valued this project very much, so they suggested that Midea move the factory to the New Territories, where land is very cheap.

In fact, the requirements for the location of the motherboard factory are not high, but this is a high-tech factory with extremely high requirements for employees. At least most of them must be able to speak English, have a basic foundation in electronics, and their academic qualifications should not be too low. The city of Xiangjiang is originally There are few industrial talents. If the factory moves to the New Territories, which is vast and sparsely populated, and transportation is inconvenient, recruiting people will become an extremely serious problem.

The two sides reached a deadlock in this way, and Xu Zhi was relatively speechless about this. No wonder only real estate was left in Xiangjiang in later generations. This clearly forced the industrial industry to leave.

Malibu, located in the southwest of Los Angeles, is one of the most famous beaches in the United States. The beach scenery here is beautiful and unique. At the same time, it is also a gathering place for Los Angeles rich and Hollywood stars. It is also one of the most famous tourist destinations in Los Angeles. .

"Eric, actually I think you should buy a property in Los Angeles. It's not a good idea to stay in hotels all the time." On the balcony, Redding looked at the young and lively high school women's volleyball team in the distance and smiled at Xu Zhi said: "The villa here in Malibu is very suitable for you. The scenery and safety are very good, and there are often countless bikini girls. Maybe you can meet your true love!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "My true love cannot be in the United States. Relatively speaking, I will still choose our Asian women."

Reding immediately laughed and said: "You are too young, why do you have to choose? If I were you, I would take them all!"

Xu Zhi shrugged and said, "It's a good idea, but the law doesn't allow it!"

Redding said: "Eric, for people like us, the law can't stop you."

"The law may not be able to do it, but the mythical beasts can!"

Xu Zhi couldn't help but sigh, and returned to the topic: "Buying a house here is not a matter of money, but I am away from the United States most of the time. It would be a waste to put the house here!"

Redding said with a smile: "Eric, do you know how many houses I own? Not counting the ones for investment, but the ones I live in!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, seven or eight sets?"

Redding said with a smile: "In the United States alone, I have more than 30 villas. I have houses in every large city you can think of. How many days do you think I can live in these houses a year? Most of the time It’s all empty there, just hire some housekeeping company to clean it every year!”

Xu Zhi asked: "Isn't that a waste?"

Redding smiled and said: "Eric, you only consider the waste of the house, but I consider the waste of money. I have so much money, and if I don't enjoy it, isn't it a waste?"

"It makes sense!" This rich man had a different idea!

Redding said: "If you want to buy a house, there is a newly opened villa area one kilometer north. I know that you Asians like to live in new houses, so I have asked you about it."

Xu Zhidao: "Thank you very much!"

Redding added: "Let's get down to business now. The current supply of arcade machines is still in short supply. The orders I have on hand have exceeded 20,000 units, but the production capacity of several major foundries in the United States can only be 6,000 units a month. Even if there is no follow-up. Even if we place an order, we have to wait until 3 months for production to be completed, which is not in our best interest!”

Xu Zhi asked: "What do you mean?"

Redding said: "Currently, the two major markets in the United States are on the east and west coasts. I think we can find an OEM base in New York, so that we can meet the local market nearby and the efficiency will be higher!"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I will send someone to inspect the factory. If it meets our requirements, Midea will place a new order."

"Okay, as long as you say this." Redding was quite satisfied.

Although Redding is the general distributor in the United States, he is only responsible for sales. Midea's branch in the United States is still responsible for production. Although the current cooperation with the other party is good, it cannot be too controlled by others.

Xu Zhi asked: "Redding, do you know the company that produces refrigerator compressors?"

Redding asked: "Refrigerator compressor? Why do you ask?"

Xu Zhidao: "I want to buy the next set of mature technology patents. It does not require the most advanced technology or old technology, as long as it is mature. Our company plans to develop the refrigerator market in Asia."

The development of Midea's refrigerator has begun, but the most important compressor must be determined first. Of course, you can also buy it directly from big companies such as RB, Panasonic, and Hitachi, but this approach is basically giving the profits to others.

It is the best choice to buy a set of mature technology in the United States and produce it yourself back home. Of course, mature technology does not necessarily need to be the most advanced. From reality, a ghost can sell you the most advanced technology and you can buy 5-10 The technology was pretty good a year ago.

Redding said: "I see, I can help you ask. If it is just old technology, there should be no problem."

Xu Zhidao: "Thank you very much."

Redding smiled and said, "That's right. Let's just work together and make money together."
