Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

In order to speed up the pace of attracting investment, relevant departments have issued a series of policies that are conducive to external investment.

The "three-in-one" policy is a typical example.

"Specifically, you will provide the equipment, materials, or related product drawings, and the mainland will provide the land, factory buildings, and production personnel."

"We will process the products according to your requirements and charge appropriate labor fees."

"If you still don't understand, it's like I'm doing the work for you and I only charge you for the work. It's up to you to decide how much you want to sell the goods for."

Afterwards, Lin Kaifeng made further suggestions.

Wang Lei can choose to cooperate with domestic companies by providing materials or samples.

The difference between the two lies in the raw materials.

Processing on supplied materials means that Wang Lei provides the raw materials for making clothes, and the domestic factory is responsible for processing and production.

Processing according to samples is much simpler.

Hong Kong businessmen provide design drawings, product standards and styles.

Domestic enterprises are not only responsible for production, but also for the supply of raw materials needed for production.

I was worried that Wang Lei didn’t understand.

Lin Kaifeng picked up the ashtray next to him and made an analogy.

"If you are a company that produces cigarette ashtrays, and I am a mainland factory, I will produce this type of ashtray on your behalf according to the technical requirements and design drawings you provide."

"I will be responsible for the labor costs and the supply of raw materials."

Lin Kaifeng said seriously: "After the ashtrays are made, they will be handed over to you for sale. I will charge you a certain percentage of the labor fee in the contract. In short, through this way of cooperative production, you can get the most profit."

Wang Lei seemed to understand and said, "You mean to move the factory to the mainland, and let the mainland be responsible for the overall production of clothing, and I will be responsible for external sales and contacting distributors?"

“Not entirely.”

Lin Kaifeng shook his finger and corrected: "In addition to being responsible for sales, you are also responsible for design."

"My suggestion is to move the garment factories to the coastal special economic zones, and keep only the design and sales departments in the port cities."

Wang Lei asked: "If I follow your method, can the factory be revitalized?"

"Absolutely."

In order to attract investment, the country will give a large number of preferential policies to Hong Kong and foreign businessmen.

If Wang Lei's company continues to produce clothing in Gangcheng, not only will it not be able to enjoy various preferential policies, but it may also be targeted from time to time.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps. This is the usual way of playing in the capital market. You studied business administration, you can't be unable to understand such a simple business principle, right?"

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. I understand now. This will not only save a lot of costs, but also avoid accidental damage during the production process."

Wang Lei suddenly realized.

Lin Kaifeng's words are truly valuable advice.

If we insist on producing clothes in Hong Kong, we will not only face the possibility of bank loan withdrawal at any time.

They also face suppression and sabotage from their peers.

There are hundreds of communities of all sizes in Hong Kong.

These associations have close ties with the business community.

Using associations to attack competitors is a common practice in Hong Kong businesses.

No one would think that their business is too small.

The Wang family was in dire straits, and choosing to borrow from a British bank was tantamount to taking on a bigger burden.

Taking advantage of your weakness to kill you is the most common way of business competition.

"You have solved your problem, can you help me solve one too?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled.

"what is the problem?"

Wang Lei asked.

"Use your identity to buy me a batch of equipment from the United States."

"what!"

Wang Lei stood up suddenly.

Bai Ru was also shocked by Lin Kaifeng's words and her face changed drastically.

"The equipment I asked you to help buy is neither military equipment nor dangerous goods. It's just industrial production equipment."

The oil crisis affected a large number of industrial enterprises in the West.

Either they go bankrupt or production comes to a standstill.

Lin Kaifeng urgently needs a batch of second-hand industrial equipment including CNC machine tools.

Wang Lei and his brother Wang Tianci are both Americans.

If you ask a U.S. company on the verge of bankruptcy to buy used equipment, there is a high probability that they will agree.

"Don't worry about the funds. I will be responsible for the purchase. After the matter is completed, I will use my own method to give you a certain amount of compensation."

"This is actually a win-win situation for both you and me."

"One day, you will relocate your garment factory to the Southern Special Economic Zone and settle down there. No matter what problems you encounter, I will do everything I can to help you solve them."

"You are a smart man, you might as well think carefully about my advice."

Lin Kaifeng paused, waiting for Wang Lei's reply.

From the 1940s to the 1990s, Western countries always regarded the Eastern Bloc as a scourge.

A large number of agreements have been set up to restrict the flow of high-end technology into Eastern countries.

The Soviet Union ranked first among these restrictive terms.

Long Country followed closely behind and was listed as the second restricted country by the West.

Even though Longguo has established diplomatic relations with the United States and has fully reconciled its relations with the West.

It still cannot change the West's inherent idea that Longguo is a major threat.

The West can allow ordinary industrial equipment and technology to enter the Dragon Country.

Once it involves important technologies, such as CNC industrial machine tools, semiconductors, and electronic technology.

All technologies and equipment related to these areas will be strictly controlled.

The CNC machine tools sold to Longguo are equipped with internal locking devices.

Longguo doesn't even have to think about getting four-axis and five-axis CNC machine tools that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.

Even if Long Guo offers funds that are more than ten times higher than the market price, foreign countries will not sell.

If the normal way doesn't work, you can only take a detour.

How to take a curve?

The appearance of Wang Lei lit a bright light for Lin Kaifeng.

Wang Lei, on behalf of Lin Kaifeng, contacted bankrupt companies in the United States, purchased their second-hand equipment, and shipped the equipment to the port city.

Afterwards, Lin Kaifeng would find a way to bring these industrial equipment from the port city to the mainland one by one.

The United States and England are cousins.

The United States will not take any restrictive measures on equipment flowing into the port city.

Wang Lei is a U.S. citizen, so U.S. companies probably won’t think too much about it.

"Is that really all there is to it?"

Wang Lei said half-believingly.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "If you didn't hear clearly, I'll tell you again. You are responsible for contacting industrial companies in the United States and purchasing a large number of their second-hand equipment."

"I will be responsible for the funds. I will transfer all the money you need to you and convert it into US dollars according to the exchange rate. You are an American and have been doing business in Hong Kong for several years. With the current capabilities of the Wang family, I think it should not be a problem to convert domestic currency into US dollars or Hong Kong dollars."

"You helped me this time, and I will continue to help you in the future. Not only will I help your Wang family's business grow bigger, but I may also be able to give you a leading advantage in a certain field that no one else can match."
