"Okay, I'll get the legal department out of the document immediately. He Guoyuan nodded and said.

Yao Mingcheng since joining the company, began to set up a legal department, at the moment the headquarters of the United States administrative plus R & D personnel have more than 100 people, and the number of factories is as high as more than 800 people, this is still the result of a large number of products all outsourced, counting the foundry people, the employment driven by the United States has been as high as thousands of people, of course, the foundry actually has suppliers, this aspect of the statistics is more.

In Xiangjiang, there are not many companies with thousands of employees, and Midea's products are exported to dozens of overseas countries, legal incidents have increased, and the legal department has also become stronger.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "How are the other electrical appliances in the electrical department prepared now?"

He Guoyuan replied: "At present, the electrical department is ready to develop air conditioners, fans and televisions, of which fans and televisions are relatively simple, I plan to directly acquire two ready-made companies, the structure of the fan is simple, needless to say, the core part of the TV is actually the color tube, there are many assembly companies in Xiangjiang, you can buy one." ”

"Good, not bad. Xu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, Sony in order to get the exclusive agent of Midea's arcade machine in Japan, it has also paid a lot of things, the simplest is a lot of channel information and sharing, with this channel, it would be stupid to only sell refrigerators, even if you play assembly by yourself first, first make the market up, and then slowly develop your own core technology.

In fact, this is also the development history of the rise of many mainland electrical giants in later generations, and even the automotive industry is still in a state of ing in 2019, first buying three major foreign pieces, and then developing their own market, using the money earned and then slowly developing it, which is a long-term process.

He Guoyuan said: "For the air conditioner, York also promised to help, and they will provide some patented technology, but the price is not cheap." I asked Cao Lizhong, he said that although refrigerators and air conditioning compressors are different, there are many similarities, if we recruit professionals to develop again, we should be able to develop within half a year, so the cost is much lower. ”

"No, you ignore the cost of time, even if you pay a sum of money now, as long as you can enter the market earlier, you can make money a day earlier. Xu Zhi said: "Let's learn the technology first, since we want to learn other people's things, it's normal to spend some money, it's not a big deal." ”

The popularity of tank battles and Pac-Man has temporarily and completely solved Xu Zhi's financial problem, and when he acquired the shares of Jingzhou Yingxiao and TVB, he borrowed a total of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC and Goldman Sachs, but after the two games entered the United States, a large amount of US dollars went to Xu Zhi's account, and all the loans were paid off in 2 months.

At present, the net profit of the four games can be as high as 15 million US dollars per month, which is also the confidence of Xu Zhi to prepare to expand the electrical department in a big way.

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "These are all right, but Xu Sheng, I still hope to determine the matter of the factory as soon as possible, whether it is placed in Tianshuiwei or other places, it needs to be decided as soon as possible." ”

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Lao He, what do you think about the things in the north?"

"North?" He Guoyuan didn't react at first, and said after a while: "Xu Sheng, do you mean the mainland?"

"Not bad. Xu Zhi nodded: "You should know the news of reform and opening up, right?"

"Of course I do. He Guoyuan nodded.

In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Mainland officially announced that the Mainland had begun to implement the policy of internal reform and opening up.

At the end of last year, the high-level central government of the mainland visited Xiangjiang and said at the press conference that the mainland would use tens of billions of dollars to carry out reform and opening up, and that Xiangjiang would play an important role in it.

Recently, almost all newspapers have been discussing this matter, and people from all walks of life have expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions, and at present, Xiangjiang is the only open port in the mainland, and a large number of goods pass through the port of Xiangjiang, bringing a lot of economic stimulus.

Xu Zhi said: "As far as I know, now the first industrial park in the mainland has been established, called Shekou, you can go and investigate." ”

He Guoyuan said: "No, I know about this matter, in fact, recently, I have discussed this matter with many factory owners, but everyone seems to be not optimistic." ”

"Why?" Xu Zhi asked, "worried about policy changes?"

"That's one of the reasons. He Guoyuan replied: "In fact, the Xinhua News Agency has invited a group of businessmen to Shekou to investigate, but those who have been there are not willing to invest when they come back, mainly because the natural environment is too poor, and the most basic three links and one level have not been done well, and the accommodation is too poor, many people are reluctant to go after a trip." ”

"I see. Xu Zhi also understood that the mainland's determination to reform and open up is a great policy, but opening up means that many aspects need to be reformed, and change requires a lot of money.

Many people think that in the 80s, there was an extreme shortage of dollars in the mainland, but there were a lot of renminbi!

This is actually a misconception.

In 1978, the mainland had a total GDP3645 billion yuan, ranking ninth in the world, but its per capita GDP was only 343 yuan, ranking fourth from the bottom in the world!

is really the fourth-to-last, counting a bunch of African countries, the fourth-to-last.

And that's just the average, and hundreds of millions of peasants don't earn more than a dime a day.

In order to help the peasants extricate themselves from their difficulties, the central government raised the price of grain purchased, but it could not increase the cost of living for urban residents, so it paid more than 10 billion yuan to subsidize grain prices.

More than 10 billion seems like a lot, but this is actually a drop in the bucket, on average, about ten yuan per farmer.

However, at that time, the central government's fiscal revenue was only a little more than 100 billion yuan a year, and such a large additional expenditure also led to a large number of infrastructure stoppages, and even places like Shekou Industrial Zone, which are at the forefront of reform, did not have the money to invest in infrastructure.

He Guoyuan asked: "Xu Sheng, are you going to invest and build a factory in the mainland?"

"Yes and no. Xu Zhi said: "Shekou Industrial Zone is now the only place where the mainland can legally invest, but the current infrastructure is not good, forget it, you pay more attention, if they can solve this problem, we can go to test the water, we can first build a small factory to make electric fans!"
