Chapter 319: Merchant Zhang Xuanlong
Zhang Xuanlong was not very famous in later generations, but he was an extremely powerful figure. He is the founder of Kingsoft and is known as one of the Three Musketeers of Kingsoft along with Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun; what is even more powerful is that as a businessman, he has grasped Sitong, Founder, and Lenovo without leakage, and cooperated with them in the heyday of these companies.
Zhang Xuanlong began to do business in Zhongguancun in 1984 and brought the agency system to Zhongguancun, and companies such as Sitong, Founder, and Lenovo have cooperated with him and have taken goods from him. In addition to acting as an agent in Zhongguancun, he is an investment, and he did not open a company, did not become an entrepreneur, but only a businessman. Someone has an evaluation of him: "He has been hiding behind the scenes, but he has always been on the cusp of the waves, those who like him call him 'evergreen', and those who admire him call him 'tumbler'." In Zhongguancun, this man has taken the ethics, shrewdness and flexibility of a businessman to the highest level. ”
Zhang Xuanlong did the chip business because of his father, Zhang Xuanlong's father Zhang Kaiqing graduated from Tongji University, and after coming to Xiangjiang in 1972, he raised goldfish, eels, and sold jeans, but they were unsuccessful. The turning point of Zhang Kaiqing's career was in 1978. That year, he started a chip business.
In this era, Western countries used the "Paris Coordinating Committee Agreement" to restrict China's technology imports, and chips are controlled goods. After Zhang Kaiqing learned about this, he took advantage of his own advantages and began to do chip business with China. Zhang Kaiqing first sold the chips he brought back to China to Zhuzhou Electronics Research Institute, which used these chips to make a CMC-80 double-board computer. This machine was later written into the government work report of the Sixth National People's Congress, which called on scientific research units across the country to learn from Zhuzhou Institute of Electronics.
Due to his gradual fame, even the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense approached Zhang Kaiqing and asked him to buy chips from abroad through personal connections. These chips are used in submarines, satellites, etc. As the business became bigger and bigger, Xiangjiang Jinshan Company was born in the house rented by Zhang Kaiqing, and the word "Jinshan" was dismantled from Zhang Kaiqing's "armor".
In later generations, Xiaomi and Rebus were particularly popular, but this person was also very controversial, some people said that he was a good person of Lei Dashan, and some people said that he was a contemporary Yue Buqun. Xu Wangqiu was very curious about this, he knew that Rebus came out of Jinshan, so he flipped through Jinshan's biography in his spare time. In this biography, he learned about Zhang Xuanlong and his father's deeds.
In Xu Wangqiu's heart, Zhang Xuanlong is a very ideal collaborator. Because Zhang Xuanlong has the ability to get chips from abroad, and this person is very ethical, attaches great importance to business reputation, and is also very righteous to friends. Zhang Xuanlong is more generous in business, originally six or four points, but it turned out to be four six, and he can accept it. He thinks that although he has suffered a temporary loss, he will still come to find him if the other party takes advantage of him, and he can make more money with small profits but quick turnover.
Xu Wangqiu originally planned to take some time to find Zhang Xuanlong after arriving in Xiangjiang, but he didn't expect that his person hadn't arrived in Xiangjiang yet, but he actually bumped into the plane, and couldn't help but show an extremely bright smile: "It turns out that you are in the computer business, my brother recently opened a computer company, and he is going to do computer business." Maybe you can work together. ”
Zhang Xuanlong's company does business with central ministries and commissions, as well as mainland enterprises. Many foreign companies have asked Kingsoft to be an agent, hoping to sell products to the mainland through Kingsoft, so Kingsoft has a lot of products in its hands, in addition to Apple computers, as well as NEC computers, IBM computers and so on.
Due to the large number of products agent, Jinshan simply can't do it, and Jinshan is a Xiangjiang company after all, and it is inconvenient to open up the mainland market. Zhang Xuanlong had an idea, hoping to find partners in the mainland and let them be his agents. In this way, the agency company can develop its business in China and help Kingsoft make more money. It's just that he is well aware of the situation in China, and private enterprises are not allowed to appear, and state-owned enterprises do not have trading companies that do computer and typewriter business, so this thing has never been successful.
Now suddenly hearing Xu Wangqiu say that his brother opened a company and is going to do a computer business, Zhang Xuanlong's heart moved, thinking that it would not be such a coincidence, I have always wanted to find partners in China, and now there is really a company sent to the door. He stared at Xu Wangqiu and said quietly: "You just said that your brother opened a company, and now the state allows private individuals to open a company?"
Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "On the surface, it is not allowed, in fact, private companies have appeared, but these companies are all opened in the name of collective enterprises. The money is paid by private individuals, but the company is listed in the name of a state-owned unit or a collective unit. In the 80s, several scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up a service company under the name of the Beiping Association for Science and Technology. They used their spare time to do business and make some money, but they were also criticized for it. At the beginning of this year, the matter stabbed the central government. Several leaders gave instructions, believing that their approach was completely right and should be encouraged. After learning about this, many people who had ideas became active and began to start their own companies. My brother was one of them, and he heard the story of Apple and Steve Jobs and thought that computer technology was very promising. ”
Zhang Xuanlong's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Then I want to meet your brother when I have the opportunity." To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to find a company to cooperate with in China, but I have never found a suitable partner. Since your brother's company is engaged in this, I can talk to him. Where is your brother's company?"
Xu Wangqiu originally planned to be close to Zhang Xuanlong, and if he had the opportunity to talk about cooperation, he didn't expect Zhang Xuanlong to be more eager than himself, and chuckled: "In Zhongguancun, Beiping." The company has just been established and is now doing training. My brother's company is going to sell computers, but you have to know a little bit about computers to sell computers, at least you have to be able to give demonstrations to others, and if something goes wrong, you can also do simple repairs. None of the people he recruited had this knowledge and didn't understand computers, so he planned to hire experts to train them in half a year. If the company officially opens, it may have to wait until the end of the year. ”
Zhang Xuanlong thought that Xu Wangqiu's brother is not an ordinary person, he is very organized, and he will take half a year to train employees, our family didn't think so much when they started to do computer business, Xu Wangqiu's brother is a character, and it should be a good choice to cooperate with him, and said with a smile: "We Jinshan has acted as an agent for several brands of computers, since your brother is going to make computers, then I can hand over the brand in my hand to your brother to do." ”
Xu Wangqiu made a look of surprise: "This is really good. You often do computer business with the mainland, and you should know that mainland computers, whether they are complete machines or chips, need to be imported from Xiangjiang. My brother has no way to go on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, and he has no acquaintances. You can get the goods through other routes, but the price will be more expensive. This time, in addition to making a movie in Xiangjiang, I also planned to help him explore the way and see if he could find a collaborator, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Zhang Xuanlong was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is really good. Let's find a time to talk. After speaking, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Wang: "This is my phone, you can call me at any time after you arrive in Xiangjiang." ”
Xu Wangqiu took the business card and glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Call you when I settle down, and we will have a good chat then." But I don't have a business card for you, if you look for me, you can go directly to the Qingwan Yindu agency, or call Yindu. I'll leave you Yindu's number. ”
Saying that, Xu Wangqiu opened his backpack, took out a pen and paper, and wrote Yindu's phone number to Zhang Xuanlong.
The plane is not a place to talk about business, Xu Wangqiu and Zhang Xuanlong did not continue to talk, but talked about something else.
When Zhang Xuanlong first arrived in Xiangjiang, his family's economic conditions were very poor, and the family had to go out to work. Zhang Xuanlong found a job as a tour guide, which cultivated his eloquence and communication skills. He talked endlessly, and it gave people a particularly comfortable feeling.
With Zhang Xuanlong, the boring journey has become much easier and more enjoyable. Xu Wangqiu felt that time flew by, and before he knew it, the plane arrived in Xiangjiang.
Xu Wangqiu and the others got off the plane and passed the security check smoothly. When he walked to the exit of the station, Zhang Xuanlong asked, "Is someone coming to pick you up?" If not, I'll give you a ride. ”
"No, we have someone to pick us up!" Xu Wangqiu pointed to the crowd waiting at the station. Fu Qi, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, holds a sign with the words "Xu Wangqiu" written on it, which is particularly conspicuous in the crowd;
"Okay! I'll wait for your call. Zhang Xuanlong nodded with a smile and dragged his luggage towards the exit.
Xu Wangqiu waved his hand at Fu Qi, and Zhang Yimou dragged his luggage over: "Brother Fu Qi, long time no see." ”
When Fu Qi saw Xu Wangqiu, he said with a smile: "Wangqiu, you are finally here." We hope that the stars will judge the moon. If you don't come back, Xia Meng will probably have to fly to Beiping and capture you to Xiangjiang to make a movie. ”
"Is Sister Xia Meng so fierce?" Xu Wangqiu laughed, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting." It was supposed to come a long time ago, but because some things had to be dealt with, it was delayed until now. ”
Out of the airport, Fu Qi drove the company's car, carrying Xu Wangqiu and them to Clear Water Bay.
While driving, Fu Qi told Xu Wangqiu about the situation in Xiangjiang: "Wangqiu, I'm afraid you'll be very busy when you come over this time! Recently, Shaw Shaw's Shaw Run Fu, Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai, Golden Princess's Lei Juekun, and some other people have called us to invite us to dinner, and ask when you will arrive in Xiangjiang, and they will definitely come to look for you at that time." ”
Xu Wangqiu smiled when he heard this: "Is it because the box office of "Dang Kou Zhi" exploded?"
"Dang Kou Zhi" was jointly filmed by Siyuan Pictures and the export company, with an investment of up to 8 million yuan. This movie about the righteous men of the rivers and lakes defending Qi Jiguang and preventing the assassination of the Dongying ninja is different from movies with similar themes in Xiangjiang, all of which are live-action shooting, and thousands of sets of armor are made, and PLA soldiers are used to participate in the shooting, the scene is very grand, it is a combination of costume war movies and kung fu movies. After the film was released in Xiangjiang in mid-April, it caused a sensation and achieved a box office of 18.63 million.
Fu Qi said excitedly: "Yes." Wu Siyuan is not one of us, and he used to be quite close to Taiwan. Many people think that Wu Siyuan can successfully cooperate with export companies, so there is no problem with cooperating with export companies, and he can achieve the same success. However, the most important thing is that the country is negotiating with the British, and the return of Xiangjiang is already the trend of the times. Run Run Shaw and the others used to be very close to Taiwan, and they were afraid that they would be suppressed after their return, so they had to consider the issue of moving closer to the motherland. ”
Xu Wangqiu was originally very excited, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Fu Qi and Run Run Shaw belong to two different camps, they still have a very good relationship with each other. Run Run Shaw: They are moving closer to the motherland, and they are acceptable. But when people like Li Cucumber become patriotic businessmen, they may find it difficult to accept. He was really worried that the hearts of the Yindu Organization would be scattered at that time.
