"You mean that your Tianyin Electronics Factory wants to set up a joint venture with a Japanese company, and then ask our city government to write an invitation letter?"

The person who received Duan Yun this time was Zhen Xipei, the vice mayor of Shenzhen, and Li Hao went to inspect the joint venture today, so today Duan Yun found the deputy mayor to discuss the invitation letter.

"That's right, at present, Toshiba Group has agreed to jointly establish a joint venture with our Tianyin Electronics Factory in Shenzhen, and related matters are still being negotiated," Duan Yun paused, and then said: "However, the Japanese side needs our government to issue an invitation letter, the main content of which includes that our local government in Shenzhen can provide some factory industrial land for the joint venture, ensure the supply of water and electricity, and protect the ...... in terms of policies."

"What products do the main joint ventures between your factory and Toshiba Group produce?" Zhen Xipei asked.

"The main production of a kind of international latest research and development of flash memory chips, this chip technology is very leading, can be applied to some household appliances on a large scale, the market potential is very huge, once the enterprise is put into production, it is guaranteed to bring huge economic benefits to our Shenzhen local area. Duan Yun Zhengse said.

In fact, Duan Yun also knew that he definitely didn't understand the problems of product technology when talking to Mayor Zhen, so he simply said that after the establishment of this factory, it can bring huge benefits to Shenzhen.

"How much do you still need to apply for industrial land?" asked, Zhen Xipei.

"According to the Japanese side, at least 300 acres of industrial land are needed......"

"300 acres!?"

Hearing this, Zhen Xipei immediately frowned, and after a while, he said to Duan Yun: "Xiao Duan, you don't think that our industrial land here in Shenzhen is Chinese cabbage, right? You must know that this year alone, there are more than 1,400 enterprises that have come to Shenzhen to set up factories, and we are now overcrowded in several industrial zones, and your request for such a large piece of industrial land is a bit excessive......"

In fact, Zhen Xipei was already quite polite to Duan Yun, if it weren't for Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory paying tens of millions of taxes for Shenzhen and actively investing in municipal construction, Zhen Xipei would have ordered him to be expelled a guest a long time ago.

"Mayor Zhen, this time we and Toshiba joint venture factory, not only for our Shenzhen has huge economic benefits, but more importantly, it can make our Shenzhen's electronics industry leapfrog from the low-end to the international high-end level, which is of great significance! Once this kind of chip is put into production and put on the market, there will not only be huge domestic demand, but also occupy a large international high-end chip market share, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the development of our Chinese chip industry, I hope the municipal government can seriously consider this matter......" Duan Yun frowned slightly and said.

"Duan Yun, I know that you have made a lot of contributions to our Shenzhen City, but in addition to the issue of industrial land, there is also the policy issue of joint ventures between your private enterprises and foreign enterprises, before the state only allowed state-owned enterprises and foreign companies to operate in joint ventures, but there was no explicit provision that your private enterprises and foreign companies were allowed to operate in joint ventures, so about this matter, our municipal government is probably powerless...... Zhen Xipei said.

In fact, as Zhen Xipei said, there is indeed no domestic policy that allows private enterprises and foreign enterprises to set up joint ventures, but there is no provision prohibiting private enterprises from establishing joint ventures.

In fact, it was not until 1988 that the state promulgated and implemented the "Interim Regulations on Private Enterprises", which clarified that private enterprises could take the form of sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited liability company, and stipulated that private enterprises could develop joint ventures with foreign companies.

At the same time, the restrictions on the scope of operation of private enterprises are limited only to the financial industry and the military industry. At the same time, the regulations also allow resignations and retirees of state-owned enterprises to engage in private enterprise operations.

Only then did the government's private economic policy be stabilized in the form of law, and the main legal obstacles to the development of individual and private economy were finally removed.

In the area of joint ventures between private enterprises and foreign companies, private entrepreneurs have long been ahead of the policy. For example, by the time the "Interim Regulations on Private Enterprises" were promulgated in 1988, private enterprises in Fujian Province accounted for one-tenth of the province's foreign joint venture projects.

In the final analysis, it is still up to the local government to decide whether private enterprises can set up joint ventures, but Zhen Xipei, as the deputy mayor of Shenzhen, is more cautious and does not dare to set this precedent in Shenzhen without clear policies and regulations.

"Mayor Zhen, this joint venture with Toshiba is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I hope that our municipal government can give our enterprises corresponding policy support, which is also of great significance to the future development of our Shenzhen electronics industry. Duan Yun said with a straight face again.

"Then I think it's okay, about the joint venture between your factory and Toshiba, our city government will hold a meeting to discuss, you go back and wait for the notice first......" Zhen Xipei waved his hand and signaled that Duan Yun could leave.

"Mayor Zhen, I only have two days to reply to Toshiba, and Toshiba's factory representatives are still living in our factory and will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, so I hope to get a reply from our city government as soon as possible......," Duan Yun said.

"Got it!" Zhen Xipei nodded when he heard this.

"Then Mayor Zhen, you're busy. Duan Yun saw that it was useless for him to continue, so after saying a word, he got up and left the deputy mayor's office.

After walking out of the municipal government office building, Duan Yun took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, his face showing a little worry.

The matter is obvious, the Shenzhen Municipal Government did not realize the importance of the establishment of this chip joint venture, in their eyes, this is just an ordinary joint venture, so they did not show any attention.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, if this time Duan Yun and Dongchi company joint venture production of TV or video recorder, the Shenzhen Municipal Government will definitely give enough care, after all, these are very hot selling goods in China, foreign companies to Shenzhen joint venture factory production of household appliances, placed in the country will be valued and welcomed by the local government.

However, flash memory chips are new products that have just appeared in China, even abroad, and the market value has not been verified, and there are very large business risks......
