Chapter 339: Direction of Development
The winter of '91 seemed to come earlier than usual, not long after the National Day, and people were still suffering from the autumn tiger the day before yesterday, and as a result, they had to wear coats the next day.
Li Aibing was transferred back from the Soviet Union by Yang Dongxu, and the manpower on the Soviet side could be withdrawn to the country, and the amount that could not be withdrawn to the country was all taken over by Du Suo in the Middle East, so the business and talents needed over there were all handed over to the middlemen to do, and Yang Dongxu was never afraid of spending money in this regard, and dangerous things naturally did not involve his own people.
Half a month ago, Ivan came to China again, this time not as an exchange scholar, or even without any official identity, but secretly went to Heihe, and Yang Dongxu met with the two of them from Yanjing.
Compared with Toy, who has been making money for a few months, Toy is more energetic when they meet, although there is anxiety in his eyes, but he is more confident with huge capital in his hands, even if he knows that the huge whirlpool is around him, he is not afraid of danger.
This time he met quietly and put forward a new request, hoping that Yang Dongxu could personally handle a sum of money. was directly rejected by Yang Dongxu, and proposed the account settlement in person.
Every time the numbers that came out of Ivan's mouth on the phone made Yang Dongxu's heart tremble. Although this is an era that supports the bold and starves the timid. But this kind of capital predator that involves the country, and even the shadow of the military behind him, Yang Dongxu's small body can't even splash up when he jumps in.
So instead of the possible rebellion in the future, he naturally chose to divide it now, and make less to earn less, there are many money-making projects in his hands, and there is no need to take risks in this regard.
"The situation of private schools is uncertain for the time being, and the procedures may not be approved. Zhou Ya put the peeled apple in Yang Dongxu's hand and said.
She came back a few days earlier than Wu Aibing, and things weren't going very well on the Finnish side. Like all Western countries now, Finland is a small country, but it still has the capital to look down on China, which is still reforming and opening up.
So for Zhou Ya's idea of wanting several mobile phone production lines to China, the other party directly refused. Even if Zhou Ya holds shares in Nokia, she is still a shareholder of the board of directors.
However, although the production line did not come back, the other party was very interested in some of Yang Dongxu's suggestions for mobile phones, and even wanted to hire Zhou Ya as the project manager of Nokia's new mobile phone, but Zhou Ya refused.
In short, this trip to Finland was not as disappointed as I was in the planned production line task, but it was also a harvest to get along well with Nokia's senior management, so there will be opportunities to slowly try it out in the future.
"Then let's not get this for now, and get all those technicians into the lab first. Yang Dongxu put down the newspaper in his hand and said.
Like Ye Rongrong's worries, there is no shortage of private schools in this era, and there are more primary and secondary schools. However, higher private schools have not yet opened their doors, especially private schools with a large number of foreign teachers, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to approve them.
"Do you really want to build so many laboratories?" Zhou Ya asked.
As the Soviet Union became more and more chaotic, Yang Dongxu's income in the talent channel was naturally more and more. Although it is very targeted to dig up computer talents.
A few major hardware of a single computer can be divided into several laboratories, not to mention the research of computer programs. So if it's true, the construction of these laboratories is complete, and the little money in Yang Dongxu's hand is really not enough, after all, compared with the country, his personal wealth is not even ninety-nine and one cents.
"Steel plates and car engines come first, and while computer research is important, we can expand the existing laboratories and let them barely cope. Yang Dongxu thought for a while and said.
Compared with the current immature computer research in all aspects, automobile research is undoubtedly very reliable. Because whether it is steel smelting technology or engine technology, the Soviet Union said first, and the United States should also be convinced.
Now all he has to do is integrate these technologies, and then think about the steel used in the car and the engine, and if nothing else, this will soon come to fruition.
"Still engaged in Sino-foreign joint ventures?"
"Although I don't think that the moon abroad is rounder than the domestic one, it is still necessary to get a foreign-funded enterprise to inject capital. Yang Dongxu shrugged helplessly and said.
Not to mention the preferential policy of using foreign capital to invest in high-tech products such as automobiles in China, Yang Dongxu does not want to give up the degree of freedom that foreign companies can obtain by injecting capital into their own automobile companies.
What's more, in addition to domestic, Yang Dongxu also wants to take advantage of the vigorous development of the global automobile industry to see if he can get a piece of the pie in foreign countries.
Since then, Western countries have imposed various economic restrictions on China, and even technological blockades. At this time, a company that is originally foreign will encounter much less obstacles to enter the foreign market.
"Establish a new company, or buy a small car company?" Zhou Ya asked, get an overseas company to inject capital into the domestic industry, Zhou Ya did not do this once or twice, Yang Dongxu's current industry, even Yang Jiayan is a joint venture between China and Hong Kong.
"If you don't buy a small company, if you want to buy it, you can buy one that you can handle. Yang Dongxu's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
"Do you have a goal?" Seeing Yang Dongxu's appearance, Zhou Ya asked.
"Italy, Maserati!" Yang Dongxu took a bite of the apple in his hand.
Yang Dongxu was not a car family in his previous life, because he couldn't afford to buy a car, and he didn't know much about cars except for some well-known ones such as Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and even once recognized the Mercedes-Benz logo as BMW.
But if he doesn't pay attention, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like cars, people often say that cars are a man's lover, this sentence Yang Dongxu, a person without a car, is deeply touched, because he wants to touch his 'lover' more than once, especially sports cars are drooling when they look at it.
However, he chose to put the company in Italy, and decided to buy Maserati, the noble queen of sports cars. It's not that Yang Dongxu has a soft spot for this queen and wants to realize his dream.
In the past two years, in order to re-enter the ranks of the world's automobile powers, Italy has many preferential policies for the development of domestic automobiles.
At the same time, although Maserati has developed well in recent years, it is not half a star worse than the world-class queens of later generations. And although the company's senior management attaches great importance to the brand in their hands, it is far from reaching the point of doing their best to make her brilliant. Otherwise, in two years, Maserati would not have been acquired by the company.
Therefore, with the convenience of policy, the top management of Maserati is not very resistant to being acquired by other companies, so it has naturally become Yang Dongxu's preferred target.
"The company you asked me to pay attention to before I went to Finland?" Hearing the name Maserati, Zhou Ya instantly remembered the pile of information that Yang Dongxu asked her to see before she went to Finland.
"That's right, it's her, this company has a good background, but the development has encountered a bottleneck, the first two years were fine, and in recent years, it has gone downhill, just so we can eat. ”
"If I'm not in a hurry, I'll find someone to collect the information over there, and at the same time make an assessment of this car company. ”
"Well, the materials we bought back at a high price will take a while to sort out, so you don't have to worry about it slowly. And even if the company is successful, our market will first choose the Italian side, and it will take a lot of time to turn back to the domestic investment. Yang Dongxu thought for a while and said.
Although he wants to get a state-owned brand, the current domestic environment is not very suitable for the research and development of automobiles, compared to the domestic research and development, he is more inclined to buy Maserati after the talent team to Italy, especially the Italian town of Modena, which is the world's engine capital.
"By the way, how about the technical information about tires that was sorted out before, how did you follow up over there?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Speaking of automobiles, in addition to engine and body materials, tires are also a very important part, not to mention that Yang Dongxu has his own rubber plantation in Southeast Asia, so when buying technology, this talent and technology are concerned.
"I think there are already research results, and I've been making samples recently. Zhou Ya is clear about this matter, because she is taking care of overseas industries, and after the tire technology and talents were just poached from the Soviet Union, Yang Dongxu listed them separately, and the laboratory was selected in Hong Kong, and often flew to Malaysia.
"Can you make samples so quickly?" Yang Dongxu was a little surprised: "How about compared to those top tires on the market now?"
"I haven't paid attention to this information, so I don't know for the time being, but the person in charge of the laboratory said that if there is a difficulty in mass production technology that can be overcome, it will at least be one level higher than the special tires for F1 cars. ”
"Such a cow!" Yang Dongxu looked surprised.
When it comes to the grading of tire quality, he is a layman, but the tires of F1 special racing cars, with his ass, he knows that they are currently the top tires in the world, compared to the military, and even some aerospace materials are not bad, and his tires are one level higher than those they use, even if they don't sell cars in the future, they can make a lot of money by selling tires.
"It feels very powerful, and I will continue to pay attention to this matter. The donation campaign is basically ready, when will it start?" Zhou Ya came to Yang Dongxu's side and asked while helping him tidy up the corners of his crumpled clothes.
The mainland concert tour of the singers signed by Haina Records was very successful and caused quite a stir in the mainland. So seeing that the tour is coming to an end, Yang Dongxu is ready to use this Dongfeng to make a donation party.
All the money donated will go to the Runyu Foundation, Yang Dongxu's Hope Primary School program, which has been started a few years ago, but has not been publicized.
He is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to put Hope Primary School on the surface, and at the same time let the company's willing stars do publicity together, so as to expand the influence of this good deed for the benefit of the country and the people.
Although as the owner of the company, letting its artists supervise their own foundation is a bit of a matter of forcing others to pay. But Yang Dongxu had made this matter very clear in advance, whether to donate or not was voluntary, and although the foundation is now in Zhou Ya's name.
But financial supervision is in the hands of a very well-known accounting firm in Hong Kong, so there is nothing wrong with it. If an artist wants to improve his positive image, then you can donate some money, and Yang Dongxu uses his relationship to publicize this matter to help you publicize.
If you don't want to donate money, it's okay to come over and help the individual field, after all, they are all stars, and it is easy to attract popularity, so you come to help the personal field Yang Dongxu also thanks.
Therefore, this donation party was not rejected by the artists under Haina Company, and even the stars who were not interested in the mainland market from Haina also asked if they could come to participate, and now mainland fans have left a good impression in their hearts.
"Let's hold it as scheduled, I'll show up then, after all, the Millennium Supermarket was so big before, if I come forward, don't make any moths if someone else thinks about it. Yang Dongxu said.
Although he is not afraid of anything, this is a good thing after all, and he doesn't want to make trouble. So since I have won the millennium thing, I should not be too high-profile recently, so as not to make some people feel blocked in their hearts and want to pick on his thorn or something.
CCTV seems to be concerned about this matter, and several major newspapers in China also want to interview on the spot. Zhou Ya said with some concern.
Yang Dongxu recently wants to keep a low profile He understands that although he doesn't show up, Haina knows that in the hearts of people who know it, it is his industry, so at this time, there is such a big movement, and it has also attracted the attention of the national media boss, she is afraid of causing Yang Dongxu something very troublesome.
"The more people who follow, the better, whether it is an on-site interview or an exclusive interview, it is okay to meet them, and it is okay to hold a separate press conference. I was looking at this matter that the propaganda was not enough, and they were willing to contribute, so I raised my hands in favor.
As for whether those people will be angry because of this, you don't have to worry. If they still do something that benefits the country and the people, then someone will naturally clean them up without us taking action. Yang Dongxu said with a sneer.
In fact, although Yang Dongxu did not publicize the Hope Project, many insiders still knew about it, after all, it was millions of dollars to do good deeds in the first few years, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of others.
So watching Yang Dongxu continue to save money to Sichuan to do good deeds, there are naturally many people with crooked mouths, and they all think that Yang Dongxu is patting on the back, and his grandfather Zhou Yiren also asked him specifically about this matter.
For such rumors, rumors, rumors, and rumors, Yang Dongxu wants to say that he doesn't care at all, it's fake, after all, he is not a saint, others point their noses and scold him, he can't do it himself.
But this little thing is still within the scope of his tolerance, anyway, no matter how those people crooked, as long as those poor children can get benefits, he is sincerely happy.
And this is a project for the benefit of the people promoted by the state in 89, although he performed too well, but those people are crooked mouths at most, so even if this party is big, as long as the brain is not in the water, squeezing and deforming to find his stubble, he will not make a fuss about this matter.
