Chapter 55 Agent
On September [-], Meng Donglai crossed the border and came to Hong Kong.

Accompanying them were Li Guoliang and Li Weiguo who had already arrived in Shenzhen.

Although they both have the surname Li, they are not brothers. One is from Cantonese and the other is a Shandong man.

When he came to Hong Kong this time, Meng Donglai planned to do two things.

The first thing is to purchase some small electronic products and use Xumi Space to bring them back to Shenzhen to make money.

The second thing is to find a good quality PBX switch (program-controlled switch) manufacturer to represent their products.

Many people may feel familiar when they see a PBX switch.

Yes, this is the communication product that made Huawei prosperous.

The household-level program-controlled exchange can be used to set up a telephone service network for internal use in the company, and the extension users in the system share a certain number of outside lines.

Small switches can be used in hotels, allowing guest rooms to communicate with the switchboard and make outside calls.

The medium-sized ones can be used in enterprises and units, so that various departments can make internal calls.

Large ones can be used in telecommunications systems.

What Meng Donglai wants to represent are small and medium-sized program-controlled computers. He will follow the path of later generations of Huawei, accumulate experience through imitation, and then develop large-scale program-controlled computers with independent intellectual property rights.

After inspecting four or five companies in Hong Kong, Meng Donglai finally chose a company with reliable equipment and affordable prices to represent their products.

Two-year agency rights for the entire mainland of China, with a total agency fee of RMB 11.

In addition, there is the first batch of orders. Although the number of users that the current program-controlled switches can support is small, the price is not cheap. I spent another [-] yuan to purchase the machine, plus the cost of going back and forth. It is almost bottomed out. .

After returning to Shenzhen, Meng Donglai immediately began to promote his products non-stop.

Compared with other businesses that only sell machines, Meng Donglai not only sells switches, but also provides supporting services. It can build a complete internal communication system for customers at a suitable price.

In addition, a half-year warranty is also provided.

The latter point is very attractive. In this era when there is no concept of after-sales service, Meng Donglai's newly established "Huasheng" company became a hit.

After earning money for the switchboard, earning money for the telephone, and then earning money for wiring and construction, after a supporting service, the profit of Huasheng Company is much higher than the profit of selling the program-controlled machine alone.

By the beginning of 86, Huasheng Company had more than 100 employees.

The cutting machines in the factory were packaged and sold by Meng Donglai at a low price. He also imported some switches to develop and manufacture equipment, poached a few technicians from Hong Kong, and poached some young people with flexible minds from the relevant mainland high-tech units.

Huasheng's "cottage" road began to advance steadily.

While managing the company, Meng Donglai himself was not idle. Taking advantage of his advantages in learning, he took the initiative to learn knowledge about switches, and grasped both hardware and software.

Soon, Meng Donglai, who had a system bonus, became an expert in the field of communication.

Knowing the importance of chips in various industries in the future, Meng Donglai tried his best to use chips to replace some bulky and cumbersome circuit boards in the program-controlled switches developed by Huasheng Company from the beginning. Starting from the bottom, the technology is in his own hands, and Meng Donglai still feels it is a good deal.

At the same time, new patents are constantly being developed and passed to Hong Kong agency companies, which are responsible for applying for patents around the world.

In March 86, Meng Donglai developed the first 128-door telephone program-controlled exchange.

In no hurry to invest in the market, Meng Donglai continued to immerse himself in research.

In April, 200 digital program-controlled switches were born.

In July, 500 digital program-controlled switches were born.

"Yimin, are you free? I'll treat you to dinner."

Meng Donglai, who had been working in the factory for more than three months, was finally born.

"Rare customer, I thought you would come out only after you researched the nuclear power plant."

"It will happen one day." Meng Donglai laughed.

"I didn't realize before that you can chat and endure loneliness." Hou Yimin joked.

"It's nothing. If you were a woman, you would find more." Meng Donglai was not to be outdone.

"Fuck! Tell me, when?" Hou Yimin was defeated by Meng Donglai's shamelessness.

Ever since Meng Dong came to Shenzhen, he would come over to take a look when he had time during the holidays. He saw Meng Donglai's business flourishing with his own eyes, and then watched Meng Donglai, who was born as a soldier and hadn't finished high school yet. Started to study "high technology".

I thought he would make a big fall, but he didn't expect him to succeed.

In Hou Yimin's view, if Meng Donglai was able to invite him to dinner, the research was successful.

"Let's talk about it tonight, let's have a good chat."

"Row."

In the evening, a restaurant in Baoan County.

"This restaurant looks ordinary from the outside, but it's not bad that there are such big private rooms inside." Meng Donglai followed the address given by Hou Yimin to find this restaurant named "Delicious House".

Compared with other state-run restaurants that still need food stamps to eat, this restaurant only needs money.

"What do you eat? Order yourself." Hou Yimin handed over the menu.

The handwritten menu only has dish names and no pictures.

I ordered a few random dishes and started chatting with each other.

"There is still a shortage of people, and it is difficult to operate in markets outside the province, and the supporting facilities cannot keep up." Meng Dong said about the difficulties in business.

"Don't complain, the money I earn in a month is enough for me to earn for more than ten years, isn't it enough?" Hou Yimin poured wine for the two of them, and started drinking with cold dishes.

"Contented! Why are you not satisfied? So brother, I have eaten meat, so I can't let you go hungry, brother." Meng Donglai smiled and toasted back.

"What? You want to give me a check and let me fill it out myself?" Hou Yimin said with a smile.

His family has decided that he is not short of small money. If it were not for discipline, it would be too easy for him to make money, just like the factory introduced to Meng Donglai before, if he finds someone to take over it, sell it, and earn 10,000+ easily Relaxed.

It's just that Hou Yimin's family education is strict, so he didn't make this kind of money.

Like other second-generation people who are more courageous, they can make a lot of money just by reselling various "quotas" based on their connections.

So the connotation of Hou Yimin's words is: "Don't think about giving me money, you can't afford my price."

"With this kind of check, I'm sure I'll fill it out first. It's not your turn."

After chatting for a while, Meng Donglai started to get down to business.

"You know I'm developing digital program-controlled switches, right?"

"I know, didn't you develop two hundred doors a while ago? I don't know the details, but I know that the performance of the products you developed by yourself is almost the same as that of the agent's products." Hou Yimin replied.

"The news is outdated. Our company has developed [-] digital program-controlled switches." Meng Donglai was proud.

"Awesome, how do you think you have such a brain? You have a good way of training dogs, and you are so good at high-tech research and development." Hou Yimin said in surprise: "Is your achievement enough to apply for a science and technology award?"

"It's still a little short of that. If we can develop two thousand doors, we should be able to apply for the National Science and Technology Progress Award." Meng Donglai said cheerfully.

"It can't be that easy. I heard that you kept the loan in the bank and didn't pay it back. You made so much money but didn't pay back the loan. Did you invest all of it in research and development?" Hou Yimin's information is still as well-informed as ever.

"Brother Hou knows me!" Meng Donglai raised his glass again.

Anyone who knows the extent of inflation in later generations, and whoever wants to rush to repay bank loans in this era, is a fool.

Regarding bank loans, Meng Donglai would only borrow more and would never think of paying him back in advance.

What would you do with the money you have to repay the loan?It’s so hard to imagine repaying the loan.
