Chapter 290: The conditions are ripe
"You say I'm useless, I can't do anything!" The woman's mood is like the weather in June, and it changes when she says it. Lizhi was very happy just now, but soon she became lost.
"My family's Limei is a strong woman in the future, the richest woman, your goal should be to rush out of the earth and step towards the sea of stars in the vast universe! How can you lose confidence in yourself now!" Li Xuan gently played with Lizhi's jet-black hair, and said with a chuckle.
"Hmph, you know to make fun of me! I'll tell you seriously, I suddenly feel that it's so difficult to start a company, and all kinds of things I haven't thought of before!" Li Zhi gently leaned his head on Li Xuan's chest and sighed softly.
Hong Kong Beautiful Information Technology Company is her personal sole proprietorship, but all the personnel in the company are transferred from Hong Kong by Li Xuan. Li Xuan's eldest brother Li Ke began to produce digital pagers as early as two years ago, with the support of the Oriental Research Institute, and in order to promote his products, Li Ke set up a paging company in Hong Kong.
After the establishment of a joint venture between Li Zhi and the SAR government, the installation of signal equipment and the operation of the paging station actually required the support of technicians sent by Li Ke's Hong Kong company. Lizhi, the boss, really can't get involved, which makes her a little frustrated.
"The current mainland is still a very immature market, and although the policies of the special zone are more open than those of other regions, they still have to cross the river by feeling the stones!" Li Xuan said comfortingly, "For example, the 126 paging station you are going to set up belongs to the field of communication in a broad sense." However, the field of communication involves the issue of information confidentiality, and it is naturally more difficult to cooperate!
Now that the new company is about to be set up, you need to think about the next sales issue. It is important to know that the market of the Deep Sea Special Zone is completely different from that of Hong Kong. Take, for example, the selling price of a pager. The price of low-end analog machines is ready to sell for 2,000 yuan in the special zone, and the price of high-end digital machines is more than 3,000 yuan.
The prices in Hong Kong are about the same as those in the deep-sea special zone. However, the price in China is RMB, and in Hong Kong, it is in Hong Kong dollars. At the current official exchange rate. Prices in mainland China are at least two or three times higher than in Hong Kong!
If you are in Hong Kong, 2,000 Hong Kong dollars is a month's salary for ordinary people, and everyone can afford it as long as they grit their teeth. The pager mainly relies on the user's monthly fee to make money. And the price of 2,000 yuan is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family in the mainland! Ordinary people will not buy it at all, and the sales volume of pagers will certainly not be comparable with that of Hong Kong. Therefore, the upfront equipment cost is high when it is spread out to each pager, which also leads to the high price of the pager. So when you're selling, it's important to identify your target customers!"
"You mean to find a rich person in the Deep Sea Special Zone to sell it!" Li Zhi immediately understood what Li Xuan meant.
"The children can be taught!" Li Xuan held Lizhi's pretty face and pecked it on the forehead, "But who do you know are the richest?"
Li Zhi thought for a while: "You mean those Hong Kong people who do business and set up factories in the mainland? They poured the clothes from Shenhai City to Yuezhou City, and they could make a lot of money by going back and forth!"
The three to one supplementary processing plant in the deep-sea special zone is the largest in the entire eastern Guangdong province. A large part of many products that should have been exported in full according to the contract will be withheld and transferred to domestic sales. And the deep-sea special zone is not for everyone to enter, and there is a second pass on the periphery. In addition to the local hukou, non-residents need a letter of introduction issued by the local public security bureau to enter the customs.
As a result, there were a group of local masters, who went to various factories engaged in export processing to purchase shirts, jeans, leather shoes and other products processed by Hong Kong merchants, and then shipped them to various markets in Guangdong. These people should be regarded as the first group of self-employed people in the SAR to get rich.
"In addition to these, government agencies are also a big market. For example, at dinner at night, you can sell the company's pager to Secretary Liang and Mayor Wu. They have a busy schedule, and the market needs to go out and participate in various events. If the secretary can carry a pager with him, then even if the superior has an urgent task to order. I'm not afraid of finding anyone!
And with the mayor and secretary taking the lead, you can sell to the directors and deputy directors of the departments below, after all, they are often not in the office!" Li Xuan said step by step.
The two main leaders of the Deep Sea Special Zone. The pressure is not small. Last year, someone in the Beijing-Beijing market published an article called "The Origin of the Old Chinese Concession". The spearhead is directed at the Deep Sea Special Zone, which is considered to be the old lease in the new society. It is a regression of communism.
Li Xuan still admires the two helmsmen of the Deep Sea Special Zone very much, because even with the overwhelming accusations of "changing the sky". Under their leadership, the pace of development of the deep-sea special zone has not stopped at all. They were truly pioneering reformers.
"Secretary Liang, Mayor Wu, thank you for the strong support of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for the beautiful information technology company, Li Zhi and I have prepared a few glasses of thin wine, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality!" Li Xuan said with a smile to the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of the Special Administrative Region.
"Mr. Li, you are so polite! Beautiful Information Technology Company is willing to choose to invest in the Special Economic Zone, which is the greatest support for the country's reform and opening up. Naturally, we must escort and provide as much convenience as possible for Hong Kong compatriots who come to invest and start businesses!" Secretary Liang Xiang said with a smile.
These are all kind words from both sides, and Liang Xiang, as the leader of the Special Administrative Region, has a lot of things to deal with every day. It is not easy for ordinary Hong Kong businessmen to meet him, but Li Xuan is obviously not an ordinary businessman.
"Secretary Liang and Mayor Wu, I have always been very optimistic about the future development of the Special Economic Zone and the deepening of the reform and opening up in the hinterland! The picture tube factory put into operation in the Shekou Industrial Zone of the Special Economic Zone has achieved good economic results in the past six months.
We at Oriental Group are willing to further deepen the cooperation with the SAR government, for example, the PCB (printed circuit board) factory that we are currently selecting will still give priority to the construction of the deep-sea special zone!" Li Xuan said with a smile.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's topic was inevitably on the development of the Special Economic Zone, and Li Xuan did not shirk it, and said bluntly. According to the site selection report provided by the group, the deep-sea special zone is still the best choice for domestic factory construction at this stage.
"Secretary Liang, in fact, I have a suggestion, can the SAR government set aside a special area for the construction of a high-tech industrial park, specifically to attract some high-tech companies to settle in!"
Li Xuan said: "The previous Shekou Industrial Zone has made a huge contribution to attracting investment in the Special Economic Zone, but its internal planning is actually very random and messy. Cardboard factories, garment factories, toy factories, and picture tube factories like the one invested by our company, various industries are mixed up, which is actually very unfavorable for the next step of attracting investment.
For example, if our subsidiary, Dongfang Semiconductor, is going to build a wafer factory, it will definitely not be located next to a high-polluting enterprise. Because the wafer factory has extremely strict requirements for the cleanliness of the internal plant, if the surrounding air is too dirty and there are too many suspended particles, it will increase the cleaning cost of the factory in disguise!
Of course, this may also be related to the unsatisfactory investment in the early stage of Shekou Industrial Zone, in the case of not having enough to eat, as long as there are enterprises willing to invest, there is no reason to reject the door! But now that the deep-sea special zone has accumulated a certain amount of accumulation after several years of development, can it be possible to use a more long-term vision to carry out industrial layout?
In October last year, I visited the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan. In order to attract a large number of high-tech personnel to settle in, the Taiwan authorities have created a perfect working and living environment in the entire science and technology park.
Their Science and Industrial Park Administration has systematically planned residential areas, schools, and leisure facilities in the science and technology park. At the same time, in order to improve the quality of service, it also introduces banks, post offices, customs bureaus, clinics and customs brokers and other related service units.
In order to solve the worries of the employees of various institutions and the children of returnees in the park, the education department has specially established a complete education system from kindergarten to high school in the park. Moreover, they also specially dispatched excellent teachers from Taipei City to provide bilingual teaching for schools in the park, so as to facilitate the children of returned students to connect with the different domestic and foreign education systems. ”
Liang Xiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Wu Nanshen, mayor of the city, both listened very carefully, and only after Li Xuan introduced what he had seen and heard during his previous trip to Taipei, Wu Nanshen sighed softly and said: "Listening to Mr. Li's words is tantamount to a thunderstorm on the ground for me and Lao Liang! Attracting investment is by no means a matter for one department of the China Merchants Bureau, but a systematic project of the entire government. In the past, many Hong Kong businessmen like us reported that the conditions in the Special Economic Zone are poor, such as the lack of high-end hotels, the frequent unreachable telephones, and the lack of taxis.
We have always been a headache doctor, a foot pain doctor, and we have not been able to analyze the problem from a higher perspective, which is where we have been deficient in our previous urban construction!"
"If the Special Economic Zone can set up an electronic technology park dedicated to serving high-tech industries, our PCB factory project is willing to settle in first, and I believe that many Hong Kong electronics companies will follow suit, driven by Dongfang Electronics.
Jiahua Bank has just set up an office in the Special Administrative Region (SAR) and can provide financial support for the early development of the Science Park if the SAR government can provide a reliable guarantee to reduce the bank's credit risk!" said Li Xuan with a smile.
Liang Xiang and Wu Nan glanced at each other, and a fine light flashed in their eyes, it seems that this "God of Wealth Li" came prepared. They guessed correctly, leading the northward migration process of Hong Kong's electronics industry was originally Li Xuan's set goal, and now the conditions have gradually matured.
After several years of development, the SEZs are no longer poor and white, but at least have improved a lot in terms of water, electricity, transportation, and other infrastructure. With the improvement of Sino-US relations, the blockade of China in the Western world is gradually lifted, which has laid the foundation for Chinese manufacturing to enter the global market.
