"That's right, small businesses like ours in Shenzhen must survive together, and only in this way can we make our business bigger and stronger. Duan Yun echoed at this time.

"It's okay for us to hold together, but don't make it simple, it may be okay to gain a foothold in Shenzhen, but it's too difficult to develop. At this time, a man in his 30s who was sitting opposite Duan Yun in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses said with some disdain.

"Manager Zhou, what do you think?" Duan Yun has learned through the previous introduction that this man in his 30s wearing gold-rimmed glasses is named Zhou Jianglong, who is the general manager of Hongfei Electronics Factory, mainly producing semiconductor diodes and transistors, and has more than 100 employees.

"Do you know how many small private factories like ours are in Shenzhen? I inquired at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and by the end of last year, there were more than 300 self-operated enterprises engaged in the production of electronic products, and most of them were small and medium-sized enterprises. Zhou Jianglong snorted disdainfully.

"Manager Zhou, you can't say that, that's right, there are more and more electronics factories in Shenzhen, as the so-called monks have more porridge and less porridge, everyone's life is really sad, but if we can help each other, maybe we can change some ......of the situation," Xiao Qiang said.

"I'm a straight-talking person, and I'm not afraid of offending people, all of us here are buddies, and I'm saying this for everyone's good. Zhou Jianglong gently held his glasses with his hand, and then said: "Our brothers have a good relationship, but this kind of thing is not very reliable, what do you say we are holding together? Do you want to raise prices collectively or share technology and sales channels? If you want to raise prices collectively, you are producing transformers, I am producing diodes, and he is processing circuit boards, is it useful for the three of us to collectively raise prices?" In the same way, if you pay two dollars, someone else will steal the business for 1 yuan 9, and this is not bad, but when you meet some people who are willing to do it for 1 yuan 7, 1 yuan 5 or even one dollar, you feel that you are not willing to do it if you earn less, and some people want to do it! What do you say? What can you do?"

When he said this, Zhou Jianglong was obviously a little emotional.

In fact, not only Zhou Jianglong, other people's enterprises present are also facing this state of vicious competition, in order to grab orders, malicious price reduction among peers, profits have been diluted again and again, and some new companies in order to quickly gain a foothold in Shenzhen, to please those electronics manufacturers, even at the expense of receiving orders, resulting in the current Shenzhen electronics industry is in a very difficult situation.

"That's true......" Qian Zhongqiang on the side nodded lightly when he heard this, and the faces of the others also had a bit of grimness.

“...... As for exchanging technical experience and sharing sales channels, this is even more nonsense, as far as we are a small private factory, in Shenzhen, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between asking for food, private enterprises and large state-owned factories, they want capital and technology, and the equipment is still imported, what do we compare with others? In addition, in the matter of sales channels, those joint ventures mainly focus on foreign exports to earn foreign exchange, and the domestic sales channels are the self-reserved land of those large state-owned enterprises, and people have special channels, so what do we have? In addition to doing OEM work for large factories here in Shenzhen, even if you have the ability to produce your own products, you can't sell them, and what shopping mall will buy the products of a little-known small factory like ours?

Shenzhen has always been known as the window of reform and opening up and a paradise for entrepreneurs, but in fact it is not so beautiful.

The so-called paradise for entrepreneurs does not refer to their small private factories that do physical industries, but refers to those who have various channels and gray channels of "fallen masters", Shenzhen's most profitable ones are these fallen masters, as for private enterprises like Xiao Qiang and Zhou Jianglong in terms of making money, even people's feet and necks can't reach.

In the process of changing from a planned economy to a market economy, especially in the era of the dual-track price system, some people took advantage of the price difference between planned and unplanned commodities to buy and resell relevant commodities in the market to make profits.

In the 80s, there was a popular saying: "1 billion people, 900 million, and 100 million are still looking for", which shows how popular he was in that era.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, there were many people who opened the name of a trading company and engaged in various businesses, including Wang Shi, who cooperated with Duan Yun, was actually one of the larger masters, and there were also many people who were more profitable than him.

However, in the case of brick-and-mortar enterprises, private small enterprises have never been the focus of government support, or the government did not pay attention to these private enterprises in the first place.

Generally speaking, foreign-funded or joint venture products that come to Shenzhen to build factories must be sold externally, and it was not until the mid-to-late 80s that some of their products were allowed to be sold domestically.

In the early days, Shenzhen also gave these enterprises great support, both in terms of policies and taxes, which were much more relaxed than in the mainland.

In addition, in the 80s, when Mayor Liang Xiang was in power, Shenzhen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly established the earliest science and technology industrial park in China, trying to introduce the country's scientific and technological achievements and technologically advanced state-owned enterprises into Shenzhen, which shows that large state-owned enterprises have always been the most priority group for the development of high-tech industries in the Shenzhen Municipal Government.

However, the practice of this policy of the Shenzhen Municipal Government has proved to be unsuccessful, and the system problems of state-owned enterprises have constrained the innovation motivation and spirit of enterprises, and it is due to the so-called "it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy" put forward by many scholars in China, which has also led to the final bankruptcy of this policy of the Shenzhen Municipal Government.

As for those small private enterprises, generally speaking, the Shenzhen Municipal Government does not attach importance to them, lacks policy support and tax support, and leaves them to fend for themselves, which is actually the real situation of private enterprises at the beginning of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

Relatively speaking, Duan Yun's electronics factory and machinery factory, because of its own brand and advanced production equipment, so it will get the attention of some superior leaders, after the opening ceremony of the last machinery factory, Vice Mayor Qiu promised that when Duan Yun encountered difficulties, he could contact him directly, which is the treatment that other private enterprise owners in Shenzhen do not have, it is already quite rare.
