Reborn Tycoon Rise

Time flies by so fast, August has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Through the "special" relationship, the license of Evergrande Securities has been obtained, and Evergrande Real Estate has been officially established. However, the real estate company is just a bald commander, and Xu Zhi temporarily serves as the chairman.

Securities companies are completely different. Wang Liming has worked at HSBC for more than ten years and has certain connections and resources. On the first day of work, he brought 12 subordinate employees. Xu Zhi is also very generous. The salaries of these people are higher than before. 30% more when working at HSBC. After all, it is different from Wang Liming’s year-end bonus. Ordinary office workers actually rely on their salary.

On the other hand, He Guoyuan also returned to Xiangjiang from the United States.

In the office, He Guoyuan and Cao Lizhong were reporting on the results obtained in the United States.

He Guoyuan said: "Xu Sheng, Texas Instruments has agreed to help us build a motherboard factory, and will send technical engineers to guide our employees in the future."

Xu Zhi asked: "What are the conditions?"

He Guoyuan said: "TI hopes that our motherboard factory will favor their factory for the purchase of Moss 6502 chips in the future."

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, as long as their price is right, it doesn't matter if you ask them to buy it."

He Guoyuan added: "However, there is another problem. The factory technology is available, but the land is not yet available. The area of ​​​​the motherboard factory will not be too small. If it is built in Kowloon, the land will probably be more expensive than the equipment."

"Then consider launching the second plan!" Xu Zhidao said: "Go and invest in Wanwan, build the factory there."

He Guoyuan sighed: "It's just a pity! This may be the first high-tech industrial company in Hong Kong."

"What's such a pity? Nowadays, a piece of land in Xiangjiang can be sold for tens of millions. What kind of high technology is needed?" Xu Zhi sneered: "It is better to develop real estate in a place like Xiangjiang."

He Guoyuan is a good person, and of course he knows that what Xu Zhi said is ironic. In fact, he is also angry. Midea has negotiated with the Hong Kong government five or six times for this factory land, but Midea wants to negotiate, and the Hong Kong government should not respond at all. Things, insist on the price, the reputation is: do not destroy the free economic market!

The land price here in Kowloon is too expensive, even for industrial land. You must know that almost all real estate developers buy industrial land to build industrial office buildings, and then sell or rent it in layers. Midea only builds a factory after buying the land. The cost is naturally too expensive.

It is indeed the best choice to build a factory in Wanwan. Although the electronics industry in Wanwan is not as good as RB, it basically has talents, and the labor cost is not high. However, the disadvantage is that it is not in Xiangjiang. In the future, it will cooperate with Midea's R\u0026D department. There will be a certain amount of time delay.

Xu Zhi asked again: "How about the situation in York?"

He Guoyuan replied: "Cao Sheng and I have already gone to the factory to see the machine. The equipment is quite new and the running speed is OK. However, we can only see the surface and we need to ask professionals to take a look."

Xu Zhi asked: "If this production line is new, what is the price?"

He Guoyuan said: "When I was in the United States, I consulted professional companies. A brand-new production line generally costs about five to six million US dollars. However, the production line is an updated one. This production line in York was built seven or eight years ago. The level of automation was not enough, and the new production line that year was estimated to be around five million US dollars.”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Actually, we don't need such a highly automated production line. Because labor costs are too high in the United States, automation is now popular. But here, it's the other way around. Labor costs are low and automated production lines are popular. The equipment is necessarily more complex and more expensive, so this old-fashioned one is better.”

He Guoyuan nodded and smiled: "That's true, but if we don't buy this production line, they will probably just leave it in the factory and eat dust. If they want to sell it at a high price, do they really think we are fools?"

Xu Zhidao: "I won't be such a fool. If I don't have York's complete sales channels and such a large production line, can I give away the refrigerators I bought and built?"

He Guoyuan said: "I met their chairman, and his attitude was ambiguous. He didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. He just said he was still thinking about it."

"It's really troublesome!" Xu Zhi said impatiently, but such a large transaction would definitely require long-term negotiations. The other party did not refuse, and it was obvious that he also wanted to take action, but it may not have been finalized yet.

He Guoyuan said: "I got some refrigerator compressors back from York Company, and also bought a few finished refrigerators from the supermarket. Now these have been airlifted to a testing institution in RB. It is estimated that after a while, the results will be achieved. "

"Okay." Xu Zhi said to Cao Lizhong again: "Cao Sheng, you will have to work harder to track this matter."

Cao Lizhong said: "Xu Sheng is being polite. This is what he should be doing."

Xu Zhidao: "The current task of your department is still to specialize in the research and development of new products. In addition, if you look in the international market and see if there are other companies willing to sell compressor technology, we don't have to hang ourselves from a tree.

If your product comes out and the negotiation here has not ended, then we will buy a small production line and produce it ourselves. "

Cao Lizhong smiled bitterly and replied: "Xu Sheng, in fact, the opportunity like York's this time is also rare. Generally speaking, it is easy to buy a compressor, but it is really difficult to buy a complete set of technology, even a few years ago. Previous generation technology.”

Xu Zhidao: "So we are lucky?"

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "It's almost the same, but it's also rare for York to meet us. Their company wants to get rid of such a large production line. I'm afraid no one can take over except some developing countries that are in urgent need of this technology. But 4 million US dollars It’s not a small amount.”

"Developing countries." Xu Zhi suddenly thought that after the reform and opening up, the mainland seemed to be desperately trying to introduce various technologies, and this refrigerator was one of them. If we wait until then, I am afraid there will be more competition problems.

Historically, domestically produced modern refrigerator compressors seemed to have to wait until the 1990s to begin domestic production. This also illustrates the situation at that time. It was still very difficult to introduce the core production technology of compressors.

(Compressors could be produced domestically in the 1950s, but the gap in life efficiency and energy consumption was relatively large, just like car engines.)

Xu Zhi said to He Guoyuan: "In the United States, there should be such professional business negotiation lawyers. You leave this matter to them. Anyway, the lower the negotiation is, the higher their income will be. You just need to understand the progress. etc. Once the report from RB comes out, formal business negotiations will begin if appropriate.

Our principle is that we either buy the entire department and the production line, or we only need the technology, or we break up! It would be a dream to sell the production line to us alone. How stupid would I be to make such a decision? "

He Guoyuan asked: "Then if it succeeds, where should we transport this set of equipment? Is it still Wanwan? It is impossible in Xiangjiang. The area is too large. Unless it is in a place like the northern part of the New Territories, the land price will be cheaper. However, the road traffic there is too poor. Although our products and equipment cannot be considered heavy industry, they still have high requirements for transportation."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own plan."
