Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Okay, I'll ask the Legal Department to issue the documents immediately." He Guoyuan nodded.

After Yao Mingcheng joined the company, he began to set up a legal department. At this moment, Midea's headquarters has more than 100 administrative and R\u0026D personnel, and the number of people in the factory is as high as 800. This is the result of outsourcing a large number of products. Counting the people in the foundry, Midea has The number of jobs it has created has reached thousands. Of course, OEMs actually also have suppliers, so the statistics in this regard are even higher.

In Xiangjiang, there are actually not many companies with thousands of employees, and Midea's products are exported to dozens of countries overseas. There have been more legal incidents and the legal department has become stronger.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "How are the other electrical appliances in the electrical appliance department prepared now?"

He Guoyuan replied: "Currently, the electrical appliance department is preparing to develop air conditioners, fans and televisions. Fans and televisions are relatively simple. I plan to directly acquire two existing companies. Needless to say, the structure of electric fans is simple. Televisions are actually the core. Part of it is color tubes. There are many assembly companies in Xiangjiang, so just buy one."

"Okay, not bad." Xu Zhi nodded with satisfaction. In order to obtain Midea's exclusive arcade agent in Japan, Sony also paid a lot of things. The simplest one is the information and sharing of many channels. With this channel, It would be silly to only sell refrigerators. Even if you assemble it yourself first, establish the market first, and then slowly develop your own core technology.

This is actually the development history of the rise of many mainland electrical appliance giants in later generations. Even the automobile industry is still in an ing state in 2019. It first purchases three major foreign products, then develops its own market, and uses the money earned to slowly develop research and development. This is a long term process.

He Guoyuan added: "York has also promised to help with air conditioning. They will provide some patented technologies, but the price is not cheap. I asked Cao Lizhong and he said that although refrigerators and air conditioning compressors are different, they have some similarities. A lot. If we recruit professionals to develop it again, we should be able to develop it within half a year, and the cost will be much lower."

"No, you ignore the time cost. Even if you pay a sum of money now, as long as you can enter the market earlier, you can make money one day earlier." Xu Zhi said: "First, learn the technology first. Since you want to learn from others, It’s normal to spend some money, it’s not a big deal.”

The popularity of Tank War and Pac-Man has temporarily solved Xu Zhi's financial problems. When acquiring shares of Yingni and TVB, he borrowed a total of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC and Goldman Sachs, but the two games entered the United States. Later, a large amount of US dollars arrived in Xu Zhi's account, and all the loans were paid off in 2 months.

Currently, the monthly net profit of the four games is as high as 15 million U.S. dollars. This is also the confidence that Xu Zhi is preparing to expand the electrical appliance department. He has the channels and the funds. If he doesn't expand, wouldn't it be a waste?

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "These are all fine, but Xu Sheng, I still hope to confirm the factory matter as soon as possible. Whether it is placed in Tianshuiwei or other places, it needs to be decided as soon as possible."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Old He, what do you think of things in the north?"

"North?" He Guoyuan didn't react at first. He was stunned for a while and then said: "Xu Sheng, do you mean the mainland?"

"Not bad." Xu Zhi nodded: "You should know the news about reform and opening up, right?"

"Of course I know." He Guoyuan nodded.

In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Mainland officially announced that the Mainland would begin to implement the policy of domestic reform and opening up to the outside world.

This is a sensational event for the entire Chinese nation and even the world. As the only bridge across the mainland, Hong Kong is naturally very concerned about this matter. At the end of last year, high-level officials from the mainland government visited Hong Kong and stated at a press conference that the mainland would spend tens of billions of dollars on reforms. opening up, and Xiangjiang will play an important role in this.

Recently, almost all newspapers have been discussing this matter, and people from all walks of life have expressed their opinions. Currently, Xiangjiang is the only open port in the mainland. A large number of goods pass through the Xiangjiang port, which brings a lot of economic stimulation.

Xu Zhi said: "As far as I know, the first industrial park in the mainland has been established, and its name is Shekou. You can go and investigate."

He Guoyuan said: "No, I know about this matter. In fact, I have discussed this matter with many factory owners recently, but no one seems to be optimistic about it."

"Why?" Xu Zhi asked, "Are you worried about policy changes?"

"This is one of the reasons." He Guoyuan replied: "In fact, Xinhua News Agency has invited a group of businessmen to go to Shekou for inspection, but those who have been there are unwilling to invest when they come back, mainly because the natural environment there is too poor, and The most basic three connections and one leveling are not done well, and the accommodation is so bad that many people don’t want to go after one visit.”

"I see." Xu Zhi also understood. The mainland is determined to reform and open up. This is a great policy, but opening up means changes in many aspects, and changes require a lot of funds.

Many people believe that in the 1980s, the mainland was extremely short of U.S. dollars, but had plenty of RMB!

This is actually a wrong concept.

In that era, RMB was actually in great demand. In 1978, the mainland's total GDP was RMB 364.5 billion, ranking ninth in the world, but its per capita GDP was only RMB 343, ranking fourth from the bottom in the world!

It is truly the fourth from the bottom, including a bunch of African countries.

This is just an average. Hundreds of millions of farmers earn less than ten cents a day.

In order to help farmers out of poverty, the central government raised the price of grain purchases, but it could not increase the living costs of urban residents, so it spent more than 10 billion yuan to subsidize grain prices.

More than 10 billion may seem like a lot, but in fact it is still a drop in the bucket. On average, each farmer earns about ten yuan.

But at that time, the central government's annual fiscal revenue was only a little over 100 billion. Such large additional expenditures also led to the suspension of a large number of infrastructure projects. Even places at the forefront of reform such as the Shekou Industrial Zone had no money to invest in infrastructure.

He Guoyuan asked: "Xu Sheng, are you planning to invest and build a factory in the mainland?"

"Yes and no." Xu Zhi said: "Shekou Industrial Zone is currently the only place in the mainland where investment is legally allowed. But if the infrastructure is not good at the moment, forget it. You should pay more attention. If they can solve this problem, we can go To test the waters, you can build a small factory to make electric fans first!"
