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

City Hall Meeting Room.

The city’s main leaders, including Fang Boyan, gathered together.

Each participant had a pile of documents and materials in front of them.

Sitting opposite the rectangular conference table in the conference room was the protagonist of this meeting, Lin Kaifeng, general manager of Northern Machinery Company.

A week has passed since the Canton Fair ended.

The shock brought by Lin Kaifeng is far from gone.

In this spring Canton Fair, the newly established Northern Machinery Company created countless miracles.

Signed a commodity export contract with a foreign company with a value of more than 30 million US dollars.

Among them, 20 million is payment for goods.

The buyer will pay in the form of the sale of the product line.

What shocked everyone was not only how much foreign exchange Lin Kaifeng brought to the country and the local area.

Deliberately fanning the flames in front of island countries and Western businessmen.

Provoke conflicts between them.

It turned simple business competition into a fight for personal gain.

The production line is different from other products.

Even if you have money, people may not necessarily sell to you.

Take advantage of the conflicts of interest between island companies and European companies.

Forcing them to bid against each other.

Chen, the city's No. 1 leader who was sitting at the top of the conference room, raised his hand and took off his reading glasses.

He rubbed his temples.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, we have finished reading the investigation report you submitted to us."

"The content is very sufficient and the basis can stand up to scrutiny."

"What I learned is the same as what you found out."

"The relevant departments have indeed made a great determination to build a large number of industrial economic zones in Guangdong and Shenzhen."

“However, among these industrial zones, only the Shenzhen Economic Zone has started construction.

“Several other industrial zones are still under discussion.”

“Whether it can be lifted and landed in the end is still unknown.”

"Isn't it too early to march over there now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately perked up.

Today's meeting is held specifically for Lin Kaifeng, not to commend his contributions.

Nor is it for anything else.

There is only one main topic.

Should Northern Machinery Company go global?

Go beyond the local area, beyond the Northeast, and head toward the southern coastal industrial areas.

The Canton Fair lasts for half a month.

Except for the first five days, Lin Kaifeng stayed at the Canton Fair to guide everyone's work.

In the next ten days, Lin Kaifeng, like a wound-up spring, traveled to every corner of the southern industrial zone with his assistant Bai Ru.

A large amount of first-hand information has been collected.

Since 78, the country has had the idea of ​​establishing economic and industrial zones.

And at the end of that year, the first phase of construction was carried out.

Approve the land and grant development rights.

Shenzhen was transformed from a small village into a new industrial city.

In just a few months.

Shenzhen has acquired modern industrialization capabilities on a preliminary scale.

At the end of the report, Lin Kaifeng summarized the future of the economic and industrial zone.

In the near future, a large number of companies from Hong Kong Island and the West will inevitably settle in Shenzhen’s industrial areas.

Invest in factories and establish joint ventures with domestic enterprises.

In view of this, Lin Kaifeng expressed his determination and ideas on behalf of Northern Machinery Company.

Play the role of a leader.

To boost the overall local economy, companies must go global.

Due to the geographical constraints of Northeast China, foreign businessmen rarely come here to discuss business.

The vast majority of foreign businessmen stay in southern coastal cities.

So it is.

The economic development of the South far exceeds that of the North.

The South has a large number of ports, and maritime trade drives continued economic growth.

The first step for Northern Machinery Company to go global was to establish a branch in Shenzhen

Strengthen ties with foreign and Hong Kong companies.

Act as the vanguard in attracting investment.

"Dear leaders, the county machinery factory can become a pilot and serve as a pioneer in foreign exchange earnings. This is not only the city's trust in our factory, but also a test for me personally."

“With great responsibility comes great mission.”

"The establishment of the Shenzhen Industrial Zone will be accompanied by a large number of preferential policies and various convenient channels for external contacts."

"It will make it easier for our local factories to survive and find new ways of development."

Lin Kaifeng changed the subject.

Changed the topic to air fryers.

According to the business contract signed by Lin Kaifeng and Andrew.

Northern Machinery Company aims to deliver all 100,000 air fryers within half a year.

Anyone who knew the situation at Northern Machinery would have thought this was an impossible task.

Lin Kaifeng knew the same.

It would be hard to survive even in half a year if we rely solely on Northern Machinery Company.

Even if we were given two or three more years, we would not be able to complete this task.

He chose a simple and direct approach.

Subcontracting of production tasks.

Manufacturing an air fryer involves multiple production links.

Shell manufacturing, button assembly, heating tubes, wires, mechanical parts.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the local industrial city, the products will be processed in other factories.

Finally, it was handed over to Northern Machinery Company for final assembly.

Just like manufacturing tanks, each branch factory is responsible for one part.

The manufactured parts are delivered to the final assembly plant for final assembly.

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are engaged in the production and manufacturing of air fryers.

Let alone delivering 100,000 units within half a year, even if it is 200,000 units, there will be no problem.

With the domestic economic restructuring, a large number of factories are facing unfavorable situations such as shortage of funds and reduced production tasks.

Through the air fryer, a large amount of foreign exchange was created for the country, and many long-awaited production lines were introduced.

It also boosted the development of local factories, killing three birds with one stone.

It is of great benefit to all departments.

"I have benefited a lot from this Canton Fair, and it also helped me discover a lot of problems."

"Many domestic companies do not know how to deal with foreign companies."

"They only know how to wait for foreign investors to come to them, and they don't know how to take the initiative to attract their attention."

Lin Kaifeng said: "Times are changing, and the way of dealing with foreigners must also change."

"Establishing a branch in Shenzhen is equivalent to opening an office for external relations for our local enterprises."

"It can not only attract foreign investment, attract foreign capital and promote our local area, but also bring additional production tasks and profits to some state-owned enterprises with poor performance."

Leader Chen looked at Fang Boyan and said with a faint smile: "Old Fang, Lin Kaifeng is your favorite general, what is your opinion?"

Fang Boyan raised his head and said, "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, there are no outsiders here today. They are all heads of major departments in the city. You might as well make your words clearer."

"Besides attracting investment, does the Northern Machinery Company have any other purpose in establishing a branch in the south?"

Since 76, changes in all aspects of the country have been astonishingly fast.

Even those within the system were still dazzled.

It is an unprecedented event for northern companies to open branches in the south.

Once agreed, the entire city government will be firmly tied to Lin Kaifeng.

If something goes wrong.

Everyone is in big trouble.
