Reborn Tycoon Rise

Yuan Geng next to him was also shocked by this number. There are millions of fans. Even if each unit earns one dollar in foreign exchange, the total can reach millions of dollars.

Bao Yugang laughed beside him and said: "Haha, I just said that Xu Sheng is not a stingy person. He has millions of electric fans, which is quite interesting."

Xu Zhidao: "Director Yuan, this electric fan is actually just the beginning. If the cooperation goes well, I will gradually move more factories to the mainland."

Yuan Geng said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu!"

The follow-up business details will naturally be negotiated by subordinates. The electric fan factory has been planned for a long time in the mainland. The technology content of this thing is low. If you want to enter the market, the price will be the first thing you fight for.

Nowadays, most of the international electrical appliance giants have either given up the fan business or found OEM production in places such as Asia and South America. In Xiangjiang, many electronics factories are OEM bases.

If Midea Electronics produces electric fans in Xiangjiang, it will have no cost advantage. The only chance is to take advantage of the fact that international giants have not dared to invest in the mainland in recent years. It would first move the factory in and use cheap labor to reduce costs and fight a war. Price war to occupy the market!

Although the market size of electric fans is small, it is the most useful summer protection product for the Asian market and the mainland where the current economy is average, and it is also an excellent product for brand promotion. If Midea's electric fans could enter the mainland market in large numbers in the 1980s and 1990s, the brand would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the economy develops rapidly in the future, it will be a matter of course for other Midea appliances to enter people's homes.

Midea is already researching and developing air conditioners and is still some way away from building a factory for production. However, it is different for color TVs, which have already begun large-scale production in Xiangjiang, because the main technology of color TVs is picture tubes. However, this thing will inevitably be eliminated in the future, but the technical content But it's not low. Xu Zhi is not interested in investing huge sums of money in research and development of this sunset industry. It is almost impossible to break through the patent blockade of many giants on picture tubes!

At present, Midea's color TVs directly purchase color tubes, assemble them and sell them. The main purpose is not to make money, but to build reputation and cultivate the market.

In fact, the color TV project can also be relocated to Shekou, but the biggest problem is talent. Even a color TV assembly factory has dozens of times more technical content than electric fans. At present, not to mention college students in China, even a technical secondary school has to arrange it upon graduation. The main workers in the Shekou Industrial Zone are farmers nearby. Many of them don't even know how to read. It's no problem to arrange for them to install electric fans, but it's really not feasible for them to assemble TVs without enough educated management. !

At least until next year, when the central government orders a large number of intellectuals to move to the deep sea, Midea will be able to move many non-core business factories to the mainland!

…

After staying in the guest house in Shekou for two days, Zhang Fu, the secretary of Shenhai City who had just returned from Japan, came to Shekou on the third day.

Investors from Xiangjiang have basically visited Shekou. Except for Xu Zhi who agreed to invest in a fan factory, only one of them agreed to build a factory for labor protection products in Shekou.

After listening to Yuan Geng's report, Zhang Fu shook hands with Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and others and said, "Mr. Bao, Mr. Huo, thank you both for your investment. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the entire Deep Sea!"

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Nothing, as long as it can be convenient for the people."

Zhang Fu already knows that Bao Yugang and others intend to donate a road from Shekou to Shenhai City. It will not only facilitate the cities on both sides, but also all the villages in the middle will benefit from it.

After the official meeting, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Xu Zhi had a private meeting with Secretary Zhang, the most important thing was about the hotel.

After listening to the three people's ideas, Zhang Fu said: "I would naturally welcome some of you to invest in Shenhai City. However, an investment like a five-star hotel can easily cost hundreds of millions. I can't make the final decision on this kind of project. It must be reported to the central government." .”

Although Shenhai City was established with the intention of being a pioneer in reform, the city's autonomy is limited to less than 5 million US dollars. In this era, except for the Shekou Industrial Zone, any other investment must be a joint venture, and the Chinese party must hold 51% of the shares. The same goes for hotels.

Even though materials and labor are cheap in the mainland, the investment for a modern five-star hotel will cost at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Shenhai City does not have the right to directly approve such a project.

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If the central government agrees, then of course there is no problem. If not, the three of us will invest in a hotel each. It will be smaller in scale. The total number of beds will be almost the same as a large hotel!"

"Haha, good method." Zhang Fu smiled and said to Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, I have already spoken with the province on the phone, and the provincial committee of the college students your company wants has agreed."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Secretary Zhang!"

Midea Electronics is planning to invest US$1 million in the Shekou Industrial Zone to build an electric fan factory with an annual output of at least more than 3 million units. The biggest problem is the vacancies of management and technical personnel.

In this era, everyone who has some skills is like a radish with a pit. Some radishes have big pits and small pits, and some radishes have small pits. But outsiders should not try to dig up these radishes.

In this era, mainland factories were not very efficient. The fan factory was estimated to have more than a thousand employees. Some of these cadre positions required some education.

Generally, companies in Xiangjiang send their management from Xiangjiang, and Xu Zhi will also arrange for some people to come over. However, he hopes to cultivate some talents in the mainland and reserve enough talents for future large-scale investment in the mainland. Mainland college students This is the most important thing!

Zhang Fu said: "That is also Mr. Xu's method, otherwise it would not be so easy to solve!"

"It's just a little cleverness." Xu Zhi smiled. If he only needed a few college students, Zhang Fu, the secretary, could solve the problem. But Xu Zhi asked for 100 college students as soon as he opened his mouth. This was a huge problem.

You must know that the mainland only resumed the college entrance examination in 1977. In order to inject vitality into the impoverished economy, many college students were sent to work after four years of study. They completed their studies while working. Many outstanding students either went to state-owned enterprises or government departments. In this era, if a graduate from a prestigious school is willing to become an official, he can directly become the deputy county magistrate in a poor county.

It is basically impossible for a foreign company to recruit so many college students. However, Xu Zhi also promised that in the future, all components of the fan factory will be slowly localized, which will bring huge economic benefits and foreign exchange earnings to the local area.

The factories in the Shekou Industrial Zone basically just use the cheap manpower here. The materials come from overseas, the finished products are sold overseas, and the mainland earns a middle price difference.

But if the parts are localized, then a large amount of foreign exchange will be directly given to the parts factories, and eventually returned to the national treasury, millions of fans will form huge foreign exchange reserves and increase a large number of jobs, especially for some state-owned enterprises, many of which will not even have wages. I can't even send it out. When I heard that I could earn foreign exchange, I wanted to send my college students over in exchange for orders!

The few of them chatted for a while, feeling that the official business was almost over. Xu Zhi said to Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang: "Huo Sheng, Bao Sheng, there are some company matters that I want to talk to Secretary Zhang alone. No." Do you know if it can be convenient?"
