178 Voyage to the Deep Sea(3)
Shekou is located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, in the southeast of the Nantou Peninsula, bordering the Deep Bay in the east, the Pearl River estuary in the west, and the New Territories of the Xiangjiang River across the sea.
Shekou Industrial Zone covers an area of only 2.14 square kilometers, in the very beginning, the state only gave this piece of land, there is no money for development at all, the leaders of the industrial zone traveled all over Xiangjiang, from several major banks to loan 300 million Hong Kong dollars, this money was used to level the land, build industrial infrastructure and living facilities, but also build a 600-meter berth on the seaside, after the completion of the dock can dock cargo ships under 5,000 tons.
This kind of large investment made Shekou Industrial Zone soon become the most open industrial zone in the mainland, and enterprises and funds from Xiangjiang flocked to Shekou, and in less than two years, more than 100 enterprises in Shekou were established.
However, that is also a matter of the future, in fact, even the current leader of Shekou, Yuan Geng, is not fully sure that he will be able to bring the entire industrial zone well, if the business fails, the hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars borrowed will inevitably become a burden on the government, in order to avoid this situation, the investment of the industrial zone is the most important thing.
After driving for nearly 2 hours for just 20 kilometers, everyone immediately got out of the car after arriving at the site of the industrial zone.
The road on this side of the industrial zone is already concrete, and when you look at it, several factories have been erected, and some chimneys have been billowing with smoke, emitting "green clouds".
In order to welcome many business tycoons in Xiangjiang this time, almost all the leaders of the development zone came to the gate of the industrial zone and waited for everyone to get off the bus.
Yuan Geng was the first to step forward and greeted: "Mr. Bao, Mr. Huo, Mr. Xu............
Welcome to Shekou Industrial Zone!"
To be able to recognize and name everyone, you must have done your homework beforehand.
Huo Yingdong said: "Director Yuan, you're welcome!"
After a few polite words with Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, Yuan Geng walked up to Xu Zhi and said, "Mr. Xu, your name is very loud in the mainland now!"
Xu Zhi was surprised: "Why?"
"A movie earns hundreds of millions of dollars, and we people are very envious!" Yuan Geng continued: "I heard that because of Mr. Xu's achievements in film, the Central Cultural Bureau has begun to vigorously support the film industry, and wants to rely on movies to earn foreign exchange for the country!"
Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It's just a movie, it's difficult to copy it a second time, and no matter how much you earn, it's just a one-time thing!"
Yuan Geng asked: "Mr. Xu, I don't know much about movies, but since one can be successful, even if the second part is not as good as the first, it shouldn't be difficult to make money, right?"
Xu Zhidao: "It's not so easy, Hollywood in the United States is an extremely xenophobic place, I can make a fortune is a sudden attack, and it is not a matter of personal ability to replicate it again, but a problem of resource channels." ”
After being in charge, Xu Zhi left some small scripts for the American branch, which are all small-category horror films or daily films, which can make some money, but it is impossible to explode.
If you make another classic movie and don't cooperate with Hollywood giants, it is estimated that there will be difficulties in all aspects, Xu Zhi's main business is not the film industry after all, and he has not seen many movies in the 80s in the future, and after the 21st century, movies are basically blockbuster models, and it is unlikely that they will be copied, even if some movies with the main plot are too different in the times, they may not be able to succeed.
Yuan Geng didn't ask for details, and said: "Even if there is no movie, Mr. Xu's electronics company's products are sold all over the world, and we are currently very welcome to Xiangjiang's electronics company to settle in Shekou Industrial Zone.
In the eyes of many mainland officials, the game was a manifestation of the disgrace of the plaything and the cancer of the capitalists, but when the American media broke the news that the net profit of a tank battle exceeded 100 million US dollars a year, everyone fell silent.
You must know that the current total annual import and export volume of the mainland is only more than 20 billion US dollars, and the export aspect is basically based on oil and mineral resources, and some provinces do not have minerals that can be exported, all relying on some traditional handicraft products to earn foreign exchange, and the annual export volume may be less than 5 million US dollars, and the sales of industrial products are very poor, not to mention the electronics industry.
Before the 70s, the technology of the mainland in the era of electronic components was not a few years worse than that of Europe and the United States, but after the emergence of integrated circuits, the gap was rapidly expanded, and the improvement of the electronic industry not only involves foreign exchange earning, but also is related to the strategic security of the national high-tech field.
Xu Zhi said: "As long as it is suitable, I will definitely invest!"
"Okay, Mr. Xu is refreshing. Yuan Geng laughed.
Subsequently, Yuan Geng accompanied Xu Zhibao Yugang and others to walk around the Shekou Industrial Zone, on the way Yuan Geng also introduced the current development of the development zone, now, Shekou has introduced 7 textile factories, 2 garments, 1 shoe, 3 plastic factories, 4 food factories from Xiangjiang, mainly light industry, and the scale is very small, but I heard that the reputation is good, after all, the labor here is very cheap, for the intensive manufacturing industry, it is simply a paradise.
Bao Yugang smiled after hearing this: "It's a pity, I don't have any factories, so it's not good to invest here!"
Yuan Geng said: "Mr. Bao, in fact, what we are most lacking in Shekou is not the factory, but the sea vessel, our seaside wharf has been almost built, but because the current production capacity of the industrial zone is not high, no shipping company is willing to dock, so I hope Mr. Bao can help in this regard!"
Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it as soon as I return to Xiangjiang." ”
The docking of cargo ships is also about interests, too small ports or not many goods, not only will cause a waste of fuel, for operators, the waste of time is the most important, you must know that many freight companies are now chartering operations, more than one day to pay more rent, less one day of profit.
"Thank you so much!" Yuan Geng said: "If Mr. Bao can solve this matter, it will be the biggest investment in our Shekou!"
After hearing this, Huo Yingdong said: "I don't have any industrial factories under my umbrella, so let's do it, I will pay one million US dollars to help develop the second phase of the land in the industrial zone." ”
Xu Zhi couldn't help smacking his tongue, this Huo Yingdong is really interesting to the mainland, one million dollars may not be too much for him, but this is just an industrial zone and he is willing to invest so much, which can be seen in other places!
Many rich people in Xiangjiang have also done charity in the mainland, but most of them are for more interests, but there are a few rich people who think differently, many of them are sincerely helping the mainland, Huo Yingdong is one of them, not only that, he also uses his various resources to attract more people to help the people of the mainland get out of trouble and develop the economy!
After Huo Yingdong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhi again and said: "Xu Sheng, you are the only one here who has a large number of manufacturing factories under its umbrella, and the labor and policies here have just been explained by Director Yuan, but it is very clear, it can be regarded as a good place for investment, how about it?"
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, so I plan to invest in a factory here that specializes in making electric fans!"
"Electric fan?" Some people were suddenly a little disappointed, Huo Yingdong asked: "Xu Sheng, do I know that your refrigerator and TV business has been sold overseas, and this Shekou has cheap manpower, isn't it a pity to only invest in electric fans?"
Yuan Geng and a group of industrial zone leaders did not speak, but it could be seen that they preferred other projects.
Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Huo Sheng, the scale of the factory is not directly related to the value of the product, the electric fan is small, but if the annual output can be millions of units, it will be completely different!"
"Millions?" Huo Yingdong said, "Can there be so many?"
Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Our current channels have covered most countries in North America, Europe and Asia, as long as the fan is cost-effective, one million units is absolutely no problem." ”
Midea has taken over York's channels in North America, and most of the sales terminals of refrigerators are supermarkets, which can be used to sell other household appliances such as fans and televisions.
And the popularity of Gameboy is to allow the United States company to further promote the sales channel, this era of electronic products has just entered the embryonic state, such as the later generations of various electronic product stores have not yet formed, many terminals selling Gameboy are grocery stores, as long as you make good use of it, there will be no big problem in selling electrical appliances!
After the channel was established, Midea Electronics quickly acquired an assembly plant in Xiangjiang that made electric fans and color televisions, although there was no technical content, but there were many skilled workers. From OEM to having its own channels, the factory's business was immediately busy.
