Towards the end of October, the Canton Fair entered the final closing stage.

With a turnover of 24.5 million US dollars, the booth of Tianyin Electronics Factory is proud of the entire Canton Fair household appliances exhibition hall.

If this turnover had been placed a few years ago, it would definitely have become a major national news, but now, as the reform and opening up has entered its seventh year, Chinese mainland's export volume has doubled for several consecutive years, and the total turnover of the Canton Fair this autumn has reached 4 billion US dollars this year, and the total export volume of each province has also increased significantly, which will not make Duan Yun's turnover of more than 20 million US dollars seem so "dazzling".

But even so, Duan Yun has become the largest electronics company in Shenzhen in terms of export volume this year, except for joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises, so after the end of the Canton Fair, Mayor Li Hao also called Duan Yun as soon as possible to congratulate him.

In addition to congratulations, Li Hao also decided to make an exception to give Duan Yun Tianyin Electronics Factory 50% of the foreign exchange deposit, which can be regarded as a very practical reward for him.

This also means that Duan Yun now adds the more than 3 million US dollars exchanged before, and the company will currently have a total of 15 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which is already quite amazing, you know, even Shenzhen Electronics Group, they only have more than 20 million US dollars in their hands now.

At the same time, Toshiba also sent an invitation letter to Duan Yun, inviting him to visit the company's headquarters in early November and discuss the establishment of a joint venture chip factory in Shenzhen.

After getting this news, a big stone that had been pressing on Duan Yun's heart finally sank, and coming to this point means that Toshiba has started the process of investing in chip factories in China, and the next thing is to negotiate and sign a contract, in general, this matter is on the right track.

"How long are you going to stay in Japan this time?" asked Duan Yun the day before leaving.

From the heart, Cheng Qingyan is not interested in the joint venture to open this chip factory, 50 million US dollars is basically all the current funds of Tianyin Electronics Factory, and most of this money will be used to buy raw materials and various production costs of the factory, so if it is really a one-time payment of 50 million US dollars according to the Japanese requirements, then starting next year, Tianyin Electronics Factory must borrow from the bank if it wants to produce Walkman products.

After more than two years of hard work, he once returned to the pre-liberation period.

In fact, if Duan Yun and Toshiba jointly set up a TV factory, then Cheng Qingyan would definitely raise his hands in favor, because Toshiba color TVs are indeed selling well in China, and the joint venture factory can quickly recover the cost.

As for the chip field, Cheng Qingyan can be said to know nothing, she has not even figured out the production principle of chips until now, and her husband's investment in the production of a flash memory chip with an unknown market prospect is still unknown, whether it can be sold is still unknown, the risk is very large, and if it is not good, it will go bankrupt even on the side of Tianyin Electronics Factory, which is very possible.

But Duan Yun's will is very firm, no matter how his wife dissuades him, he wants to set up a joint venture with Toshiba, Cheng Qingyan has no choice but to accept it, but secretly hopes that this joint venture will not succeed.

"I can't say for sure, I went to Japan this time mainly to inspect their chip production technology and negotiate specific contract matters, I think ...... At least a week. Duan Yun said.

"Go early and return early, you still have to deal with the foreign trade orders of our factory. Cheng Qingyan said to her husband.

"I have handed over the matter of foreign trade orders to Li Guosheng to deal with, and he will contact major domestic electronics manufacturers from tomorrow to seek OEM cooperation. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Of course, this batch of foreign trade product OEM orders will give priority to our holding companies, then some local electronics factories in Shenzhen, and finally state-owned enterprises in other provinces with better technology and relatively large scale. ”

Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan have always had a clear division of labor, Cheng Qingyan is only in charge of the production management work in the factory, as well as the affairs of the chamber of commerce in the factory, while Duan Yun is responsible for formulating corporate development plans, technology research and development and external public relations.

"This time I went to Japan and took care of Li Yun, this is the first time she has gone abroad, don't do anything. Cheng Qingyan settled down again.

In fact, at the beginning, Duan Yun did not plan to take Li Yun to Japan with her, not because her Japanese level was not up to par, but because she went to Japan this time not to travel and participate in exhibitions, but to visit factories and negotiate with the Japanese side, which was a very hard errand, so Duan Yun originally planned to continue to hire Wang Shi's Japanese translator in Hong Kong.

However, Li Yun seemed to be very active in this matter, after being politely rejected by Duan Yun at first, she simply pulled out her father Li Guosheng as a lobbyist, this is a very scheming girl, knowing that her father is better at speaking than herself, and she can also dispel some of Duan Yun's concerns, mainly because Li Yun's parents will worry about their daughter's safety, if Li Guosheng directly proposes, Duan Yuan has no reason to refuse.

Cheng Qingyan also agreed that Li Yun and her husband would go abroad together, the main reason was that Li Yun only performed very well at the Canton Fair some time ago, and letting her go abroad this time can be regarded as a reward for her.

"Don't worry, Japan is actually a very safe country, and the level of law and order is similar to ours, or even better. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Besides, this girl Li Yun is very clever and adaptable better than me, so you don't need to worry about her at all." ”

"Okay. Cheng Qingyan nodded, bit her lip and said, "Husband, why are we going to take my parents over?"

"Do you want to have a child?" Duan Yun immediately heard what his wife said, so he said to her: "When I come back from Japan this time, I will take your parents and my mother over and let them stay in Shenzhen for the New Year this year, your father is still the chief engineer in the factory, he may not be willing to give up his job, and this ideological work will be done by you." ”

"Hmm. Hearing this, a trace of sweetness flashed on Cheng Qingyan's face.

It has been more than two years since they came to Shenzhen to start a business, and Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan have been very busy, because they are both very young and are in a critical period of their careers, so they have never had children.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

Married for more than two years, if you still don't have children, you will face more social pressure, mainly because there are more rumors in the hometowns of both parents, which also makes the old people on both sides a little unable to raise their heads, although they also know that it is not easy for their children to start a business in Shenzhen, but in desperation, they will occasionally call Duan Yun and his wife to exert pressure.

And Duan Yun's decision to take both parents to Shenzhen shows that he is already planning to have a child, but in fact, Duan Yun doesn't care, the key is that once his wife is pregnant, she will not work so hard if her family asks for warmth and care.

And the reason why Duan Yun suddenly planned to have a child this time also has his own considerations, the most important thing is that he has always hoped that he and his wife Cheng Qingyan can have a crystallization of love, on the other hand, Duan Yun knows that his wife is a little resistant to his joint venture chip factory, and if he has a child this time, he can at least divert some of his wife's attention.

That night, Cheng Qingyan ironed her husband's clothes, prepared her luggage, cooked, and cooked a sumptuous dinner.

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Yun and Li Yun took their luggage together, took a car to the airport, and embarked on a trip to Japan.

After a six-hour flight, Duan Yun's plane finally landed at Tokyo Airport in Japan.

As Li Yun who took the first flight, she felt very fresh, Duan Yun also took the initiative to give her window seat, and throughout the flight, Li Yun was looking at the scenery outside the porthole in a daze, and her clear eyes flashed a touch of excitement from time to time.

After walking out of the terminal, Duan Yun saw Toshiba's reception staff at a glance, this time it was an officer from Toshiba's electronics department in Japan who came to pick up the airport, under his leadership, Duan Yun and Li Yun got into a crown car and drove away from the airport quickly.

Because when Duan Yun got off the plane, it was close to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, so the two were arranged in a high-end hotel in Tokyo that night, and the specifications of Toshiba's reception this time were also very high, and Duan Yun was directly arranged with a presidential suite of more than 200 square meters, and the interior decoration was very luxurious.

When Li Yun learned that such a hotel room was $3,000 a night, she couldn't believe the price, and the luxury of the hotel here surprised her even more.

Before coming to Japan, Li Yun had also seen a lot of introductions about Japan from some newspapers and magazines, where neon flashes and high-rise buildings were lined up, and everything was full of drunken fans, but when she actually came to Japan, she still felt a lot of shock in her heart.

"You sleep in this master bedroom at night, and I live in this bedroom opposite you, you can call me if you have anything. Duan Yun said to Li Yun with a smile.

"Hmm. Li Yun nodded lightly when she heard this.

In fact, it is very embarrassing for men and women to be in the same room, but the presidential suite here is big enough for the two to maintain enough distance between them, so there is no problem.

Then Duan Yun returned to his room.

Pulling open the curtains and looking at the dazzling Tokyo City outside the window, Duan Yun lit a cigarette and smoked it.

This time he came to Japan, and he was still under a lot of pressure.

Although Toshiba has agreed to Duan Yun's offer of 50 million US dollars, whether the equipment provided by the other party is advanced enough, how these equipment is installed and debugged in China, and the payment method are all things that Duan Yun must do when he comes to Japan this time.

Especially the payment method, Duan Yun is now taking out a one-time payment of 50 million US dollars, and he wants to take the way of installment payment, that is, with the installation rate of a full set of equipment, all the payments will be paid off gradually in batches, so that Duan Yun can also grasp a certain initiative.

But in fact, from the beginning, the initiative has always been on Toshiba's side, they firmly control the technology and equipment, and this project is also dispensable for them, so this time in Japan, if Duan Yun wants to complete the contract of payment in batches, it is not an easy thing, and it tests Duan Yun's negotiation skills.

However, in Duan Yun's view, a lot of doing business in China depends on connections and resources, and the same should be true abroad.
