Chapter 273 Sole Proprietorship Factory

Among the several leading cadres of eastern Guangdong Province that Li Xuan met, the one that paid the most attention to him was undoubtedly Ye Ping, the current vice governor and director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission. This is Hua Shuai's eldest son, and a representative of the Tai-Zi-Party. Of course, the biggest difference between him and the rest of the Taizi Party is that he was born very early, participated in the revolution before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was only promoted to vice province at the age of 58.

This promotion speed is really not fast, it is not so much that he is added by his father's marshal aura, but that he is affected. Although Hua Shuai stood firm in the Cultural Revolution, he was also violently impacted when Lin Biao was in power in the early stage.

The eldest son of this handsome man will be in charge of Guangdong Province for many years, and then after stepping back to the second line, he will serve as the vice chairman of the National People's Congress for a long time, and has been escorting East Guangdong Province. Li Xuan naturally heard about his name in his previous life, and now he must have a good relationship with him.

"Li Xiaoyou, your actions in Huhai are not small!" Huo Yingdong first clicked on the topic and said.

"Huo Sheng, you are joking, compared with your White Swan Hotel, my project in Huhai can only be regarded as a small fight! Before I left, Secretary Zhao of Huhai complained to me that I did not invest a penny of cash in Huhai, but Huhai City was ready to borrow tens of millions of dollars from Jiahua Bank!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha! This shows that Li Sheng, you have a way to make money!" Ye Ping was the first to say with a smile. Although he is only a vice governor, he also has a lot of say in front of the first secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor.

"Governor Ye, in fact, we at Dongfang Electronics Company are very willing to cooperate with the mainland in scientific research and talent exchange. As early as last year, the Oriental Research Institute launched a cooperation program with the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education. It aims to deepen the exchanges between teachers, students and scholars from the mainland and Hong Kong!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Ye Ping is also the director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission, and he is naturally in charge of the work of science and technology, and Dongfang Electronics Company happens to be a high-tech enterprise. Unlike other foreign enterprises entering the mainland mainly to compete for the market. Li Xuan is more interested in scientific research cooperation.

"I know that CUHK also has an R&D project in collaboration with you. We contribute manpower, you contribute funds, such a win-win cooperation is very good!" Ye Ping also said with a smile.

The CUHK he refers to is not the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but the Zhongshan University in Yuezhou, which is one of the best science and engineering universities in southern China.

"Governor Ye, I'll get straight to the point. Oriental Group recently has a PCB factory project with a total investment of about 60 million US dollars. However, we prefer to be self-proprietored, so the Shekou Industrial Zone in the original Deep Sea Special Zone was one of our candidate addresses. If other parts of Guangdong Province. For example, if Guangdong City allows foreign-funded enterprises to build factories on their own, we can also consider building factories here!" Li Xuan said suddenly.

Liang Linguang, the first secretary of the Yuezhou Municipal Party Committee and mayor who was sitting next to Ye Ping, suddenly had a fine light in his eyes. He observed Li Xuan's expression and tone just now, and guessed that this project should still be in the research stage, and the outside world had not yet received news. He, Li Ke, sensed that this was a great opportunity in Yuezhou City.

Before 1980. The status of Guangdong Province in the country is not high. The total economic volume can only rank 23rd. However, after the central government established the policy of reform and opening up, more and more Hong Kong and Macao investment began to pour into eastern Guangdong, and the province's economy exploded rapidly. However, most of the Hong Kong capital investing in the mainland is mainly processing some light industrial products with low added value, such as clothing and leather shoes.

And the "God of Wealth Li" in front of Liang Linguang only took more than three years to ascend to the throne of the world's richest man, accumulating a fortune of up to $7 billion. The general public in China may not know much about Li Xuan, but the top echelons of the party know very well about this figure who has risen like a comet.

Liang Linguang, as the secretary of the Yuezhou Municipal Party Committee and mayor, even if the daily schedule is busy. I also set aside half an hour every day to read the important news of the day in Hong Kong newspapers. And this "God of Wealth Lee" can be said to be a frequent visitor to the headlines of Hong Kong media. Liang Linguang has long been like thunder to him. However, Li Xuan rarely went to the mainland to participate in activities, and had never been to Guangdong City before, so he never met him.

After Li Xuan became the richest man in the world, countless experts and scholars carefully dissected his miraculous rise like a microscope. The views of all parties are different, but one is universally recognized, the industries under Li Xuan's name are all emerging high-tech industries.

That's right, whether it's a personal computer or a game console, the technology content in this era is not low, and it is a newly emerging industry. Such an industry has a high profit margin while the competition is not fierce, which is most conducive to the rapid growth of small enterprises into large companies.

Dongfang Electronics Company initially chose to start with the arcade industry, and 1979 happened to be the vacuum period when Taidong Company matured the global arcade market and the "Space Invaders" craze began to gradually dissipate. Li Xuan relied on two classic games, "Tank Wars" and "Hong Kong Cubes", to take over the baton of "Space Invaders" and sweep the global arcade market in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for Dongfang Electronics to take off.

It can be said that Li Xuan's vision is very accurate, he chose the most appropriate industry at the most appropriate time, and staged a wealth myth. For such a demonic genius young man, Liang Linguang did not dare to despise him at all.

Li Xuan said that Dongfang Electronics Company is ready to invest in a PCB factory, and he happened to visit the electronics industry in Guangdong City not long ago, so he knows that PCB is the English abbreviation of printed circuit board.

Liang Linguang also knows that the personal computers and game consoles of Dongfang Company need to use PCBs to make motherboards. When he went to the electronics industry before, he visited the Guangdong Electronic Computer Research Institute. At that time, the director introduced the situation in the institute and said that they had prepared to copy the ABC-3 computer, but there was no PCB factory in eastern Guangdong Province that could produce the ABC-3 computer motherboard.

Most of the domestic PCB factories can only produce low-end printed circuit boards. In the past, the research used domestic PCB boards to manufacture the motherboard of ABC-1 computer, and the result was that the imitation ABC-1 computer was not only lower than the performance of the original ABC-1 computer of Aikang, but the failure rate was much higher.

Liang Linguang can guess that the PCB factory that Li Xuan is planning to invest in and build must be much more advanced than those PCB factories in the province, and it is likely to be a high-tech to fill the gap in China. The introduction of such enterprises is naturally much more meaningful than the introduction of garment factories, leather shoe factories and the like!

"I know that there are many restrictions on the introduction of foreign investment in China, which can be summed up in one sentence. Exchange the market for technology, but the country must grasp the dominance! However, the printed circuit boards produced by our project are mainly digested by the group itself.

As you all know, whether it is a personal computer, a handheld machine, an arcade FC game console, our company's various products need to use printed circuit boards to make motherboards. Therefore, our own demand is very strong, and the products of this PCB factory have no intention of entering the domestic market. And such a key upstream raw material enterprise that is related to the production and operation of various products of the entire Oriental Group, we want to control it in our own hands!" Li Xuan explained.

"All the products are exported?" Liang Linguang asked, he understood what Li Xuan meant. Dongfang Electronics did not exchange technology and controlling stakes for the demand of the domestic market, so it was naturally reluctant to let domestic enterprises participate in sharing profits.

"Yes, we hope to take advantage of the abundant human resources in China, especially the sufficient reserve of technical talents, to reduce our production costs! Compared with the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone, I think a great advantage of Guangdong City is that there are domestic first-class universities like Zhongshan University!

In May this year, our picture tube factory, a tripartite joint venture between Dongfang Electronics, RCA Corporation of the United States, and Lu's Electronics of Hong Kong, has just been put into production. At that time, a large number of technicians needed for the factory were recruited from various universities and research institutes in eastern Guangdong Province under the coordination of the government of the Tongguò Shenhai Special Administrative Region!

Although the deep-sea special zone is only separated from Hong Kong by a river and has a more advantageous geographical location, Guangdong City also has its own advantages. If the province can agree to Oriental Group to set up a wholly-owned factory in Yuezhou, then we will definitely take into account the advantages of Yuezhou's talent pool when selecting the site for the project!" Li Xuan explained.

Liang Linguang glanced at the first secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor next to him, but both of them seemed to be thinking about Li Xuan's suggestion, and did not give an answer at the first time.

So he had no choice but to say to himself: "Mr. Li, the "Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Law" was formulated by the central government, and we still need to report to the central government on the issue of wholly-owned factory construction you mentioned before we can give you a specific answer!"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, I also know this!" (to be continued......)
