Chapter 1147: Special Events

Duan Yun's only way now is to find Li Hao in the canteen, after all, he is not very familiar with the deputy mayor, maybe Mayor Li can help him solve this problem.

However, Mayor Li was inspecting a foreign company today and could not be contacted for the time being, so Duan Yun planned to go back to deal with another matter first, that is, to write a personal letter to the president of Panasonic.

Back in the company's office, Duan Yun immediately took out paper and pen, and it took more than two hours to finish writing this thing.

For a long time, Duan Yun has used the foresight of his reborn to make a lot of money by running a technology business, but this time, he is ready to use the foreknowledge of some major events in this era to achieve the purpose of setting up a joint venture factory.

In 1987, an incident occurred that shocked the world, that is, the Toshiba incident, which was one of the most dangerous military-sensitive high-tech smuggling incidents to the security of Western countries during the Cold War.

The incident happened late one night in the early spring of 1983, when the 10,000-ton cargo ship "Old Communist", which was sailed to Japan by the Soviet shipping company, departed from the Shibaura terminal in Japan and carried away dozens of boxes of "five-axis linkage CNC machine tools" parts.

According to the Japanese, the purpose for which the Soviets purchased these CNC machines, in addition to improving the propulsion performance of submarines, also improved the thrusters of new aircraft carriers under construction at that time, which was the sensational "Toshiba violation of Batumi export incident".

The consequences of this incident were very serious, the US Navy lost its advantage over the bathymetric exploration of Soviet warships for the first time, and to this day the US Navy is still not absolutely sure that it will discover a new type of Russian submarine.

This matter finally came in 1986, when one of the parties to the secret agreement between the Soviet Union and Japan, Kumagai Du of Japan's Wako Company, resigned because of a dispute with his employer, and angrily exposed the Toshiba incident to the chairman of the boss.

At the beginning of 1987, the Americans had the real evidence that the Soviet Union had obtained precision machine tools from Japan, and under the pressure of the United States, the Japanese Guard Agency conducted a surprise inspection of Toshiba Corporation, seized all relevant materials, and arrested the people involved.

In the end, two Toshiba executives were arrested and imprisoned, the Japanese prime minister apologized to the United States, and Toshiba was sanctioned by the United States, imposing 300% tariffs on it, causing Toshiba to suffer heavy losses.

If Duan Yun hadn't been able to introduce Toshiba's chip production line at a low price, he would not have thought of taking advantage of this incident, because once it was discovered and exposed, it might cause a very serious diplomatic incident.

But Duan Yun is too eager to get this flash memory chip production line, because he knows how much commercial value this production line will have in the future and the huge impact it will have on China's electronics industry.

After finishing writing, Duan Yun re-transcribed it, made a moment of self-reflection, and found the company's translator Li Yun.

In addition, in order to attract the attention of Toshiba, Duan Yun also specifically mentioned the person Yugu Du, and suggested that Toshiba's senior management find a way to stop him.

In addition, in this letter, Duan Yun deliberately hinted that he was a "second generation" with a background in China, and he was able to obtain some sensitive and secret information at home and abroad.

In fact, Duan Yun's purpose is to inform the chairman of Toshiba that he is not an ordinary Chinese private business owner, and there is a "reason" why he can do so much business in China now.

"What does it mean to sell a five-axis CNC lathe to the Soviet Union? And who is this Japanese named Kumagai Du?"

After seeing Duan Yun's letter that he had translated into Japanese, Li Yun asked confusedly.

Duan Yun's letter was written very implicitly, if people who didn't know about the Toshiba incident would definitely not understand the meaning of this letter after seeing it, so Li Yun felt that this letter seemed extraordinary, but he didn't understand what it meant.

"Actually, it's just an ordinary business thing, you help me translate it into Japanese and write it on it, leaving a blank space for the signature at the back. Duan Yun said.

"Okay, give me 10 minutes. Li Yun saw that Duan Yun seemed unwilling to explain the content of the letter, so she didn't ask any more questions, and directly picked up a pen and paper from the side, and began to translate the letter into Japanese.

And just when Duan Yun was looking for Li Yun to translate the letter, Li Hao, who had just finished inspecting a private company, had already returned to the municipal government office, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip gently.

"Mayor Li......" At this time, the door was pushed open, and Zhen Xipei walked in.

"Lao Zhen, sit!" Seeing this, Li Hao immediately asked him to sit down with a smile on his face, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's right, Duan Yun, the general manager of Tianyin Electronics Factory, came to me this morning, and he said that he wanted to set up a joint venture with Toshiba in Shenzhen......

"Establish a joint venture with Toshiba?" Hearing this, Li Hao was stunned for a moment.

It is also the first time that Li Hao has heard that there will be joint ventures between foreign companies and private enterprises in Shenzhen, although there have been many private enterprises in other parts of the country that have set up joint ventures, but in Shenzhen, this is definitely the first time.

"Yes, I have been in Shenzhen for so long, and this is the first time I have heard that a private enterprise and a foreign manufacturer have set up a joint venture factory in Shenzhen, and the other party is still Japan's Toshiba Group. Zhen Xipei paused, and then said: "Duan Yun, this kid is feeling a little carried away at present, our municipal party committee may be a little too good to him, he came to me today, and he will apply for 300 acres of industrial land, and we also need our government to issue an invitation letter for foreign companies to set up factories in Shenzhen, ready to introduce Japanese chip production lines......"

"Chip production line?" Li Hao was taken aback.

"Yes, the color TV produced by Toshiba has a high sales volume in our country, if they want to set up a color TV joint venture in Shenzhen, then I will definitely welcome it, but the problem is that Duan Yun said that his production line will produce a flash memory chip called "Flash", I have never heard of this kind of thing, according to him it is a new product...... I feel that this kid must be trying to cheat the industrial land......" Zhen Xipei said with a slight frown.

"What else did he tell you then?" asked Li Hao.

"He also said at the time that if this chip production line could be carried out from Panasonic, it would be able to open up the international high-end electronics market......" When Zhen Xipei said this, a touch of disapproval flashed on his face, and he continued: " The bosses of these private enterprises brag about their ability to brag one by one, our country has introduced so many imported production lines in recent years, but in the end the products produced have not been digested domestically, if the international market is really so easy to open, our country will not rely on cheap export energy every year to earn foreign exchange......"

"Lao Zhen, if you want me to see, let's help Tianyin Electronics Factory issue a government invitation letter......" Li Hao said suddenly.

"Mayor Li, you don't really agree to Duan Yun and Toshiba to set up a joint venture, do you? Our country has no policy regulations in this regard, and private enterprises are allowed to set up joint ventures. Zhen Xipei said in surprise.

"But the state does not explicitly prohibit private enterprises from setting up factories in joint ventures......" Li Hao glanced at Zhen Xipei, and then said: "Old Zhen, don't underestimate a private entrepreneur like Duan Yun, he can make the enterprise so big, it is enough to prove his vision and ability, and our Shenzhen is a special zone, since it is a special zone, we have to do special things, isn't it 300 acres of industrial land?
