"This digital programmable computer, named DS-2000, has a capacity of 2,000 doors, and it can only be regarded as a low-end product in the bureau-level programm. At present, the mainstream digital program control products of international giants such as Fujitsu and Lucent of the United States generally have a telephone capacity of more than 5,000 doors, and the new generation of 10,000-door digital program control technology has gradually matured. ”

While looking through the technical information at hand, Ke Lilun quickly introduced it to his boss. He was called from Hong Kong to Shanghai by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded at his assistant: "Without any foundation, it is already very good that Chen Junliang can do this step! Our initial goal is to target the mainland market." At present, the domestic telephone installation rate is low, and the 2,000-door digital program-controlled exchange has been able to meet the basic needs. What's more, we also have a price advantage, by the way, what is the estimated cost of this thing?"

"If it is mass-produced, the manufacturing cost of each DS-2000 will not exceed $200,000, that is to say, the average price of each line is about $100! At present, in the international communication equipment market, the price of each line of 10,000-door digital program-controlled machines is generally more than $3 million, and the price of low-end 2,000-door digital program-controlled machines is about $500,000! In fact, even if we enter the international market, it will be profitable!" said with a smile.

"The international market is not easy to enter, all the territory has been carved up by the international giants, people only need to use a small means compatible with the system, can kick us out, the price war does not work anywhere!"

Li Xuan shook his head and said very soberly, "But in the mainland." We have many advantages that others do not have. For example, when Chen Junliang's team developed this digital program-controlled machine, it had taken into account the compatibility with domestic auxiliary equipment. But the procurement of equipment from foreign giants. They won't specifically give China to do compatibility, they bought their programmed machines. You can only buy other supporting equipment together, so that the foreign exchange spent will go to the sea!

For example, the foreign exchange consumption target of the entire Shanghai City this year is only 30 million US dollars, and the equipment to be imported in all aspects is too much, which is simply not enough to spend!

And this just gave us the opportunity to gain a firm foothold, we first entered the field of communications, and the products that we just got out of technology must have a gap with those giants, DS-2000 digital program control machine. It does not realize the fancy functions of wake-up call, three-way call, and call waiting. However, we cooperate with the mainland to build a factory, and the programmable machines produced can naturally be purchased through guò yuan. This makes those provincial telecommunications bureaus that do not have access to foreign exchange indicators naturally know how to choose!"

"Boss, is the Oriental Research Institute involved in the negotiation with the Huhai Municipal Government?" Ke Lilun thought for a while and asked. A series of patents for the DS-2000 digital program-controlled telephone exchange are in the hands of the Oriental Research Institute.

"No, let Dongfang Commercial come forward, and in the future, commercial cooperation with the mainland will be dominated by Dongfang Commercial Affairs, and Han Peng will send a vice president to negotiate! We will only use technology as a shareholder, and we can give up the controlling stake in the joint venture company, but the proportion of shares cannot be less than 40 percent. At the same time, the pricing power of new products must be in our hands!"

Li Xuan gave the bottom line of cooperation, he continued, "Now the mainland is implementing a planned economy, and the whole country is playing a game of chess. The pricing of all products is in the hands of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But our cooperation with the mainland is not to do charity, this DS-2000 digital program-controlled telephone exchange, is definitely the only product to make up for the gap in China. You can't set the price low!

By the way, if the Huhai Municipal Government needs it. They can find Guoxin Company to provide a guarantee, and Jiahua Bank will provide a commercial loan. After all, this project package does not lose money, and the risk is very low!"

Li Xuan and the mainland production of program-controlled machines are ready to empty gloves white wolf, with the market prospect of DS-2000, simply with technology to obtain sufficient shares. Since Dongfang Company has invested in technology, the real money required to build the factory must be taken care of by the Shanghai and Haihai sides. Many of these production equipment and product parts need to be imported from abroad, which is bound to invest a lot of foreign exchange.

However, the use of foreign exchange in Shanghai is not abundant, and the state has given a quota of 30 million US dollars this year, and there are many projects competing for every penny used at the same time. The cooperation plan proposed by Li Xuan is obviously an unexpected event, and if it is planned by the mainland, it will definitely be delayed until next year. After all, it is already September, and the negotiations will drag on a little until 1983, when the foreign exchange quota for the new year has already come out, and the funds for this project can be arranged first.

However, Li Xuan naturally did not want to procrastinate in this way, time is money, and efficiency is life! He can solve the technical and financial problems of the joint venture factory, or he can not ask for a controlling stake, but the Shanghai and Haihai governments must show efficiency, and they cannot drag on the joint venture negotiations for a year and a half.

Of course, for Jiahua Bank itself, such a project is highly profitable and risky. Now that the Hong Kong dollar has entered the depreciation channel, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar will definitely fluctuate more violently in the next one or two years due to the influence of the political climate, and the risk of lending to local enterprises in Hong Kong is increasing rapidly.

"Is Assistant Ke already gone, why don't you leave someone behind for dinner!" asked Lizhi as she came down from upstairs.

"There is a banquet in Shanghai in the evening, how can you be comfortable at home when you go to dinner with a group of old men. But if I don't go, it's too shameless to give face, so I have to send Alun to go on my behalf!" Li Xuan said casually, with his current net worth, ordinary officials really don't need to pay attention, just have dinner with the secretary and the mayor before.

"Then what do you want to eat for dinner?" Li Zhi was naturally very happy when he heard him say this.

"As long as you make it yourself, you can eat anything!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the beauty's slender waist, "Clean up tomorrow, we are ready to go back to Hong Kong!"

Huhai is no longer a quiet harbor, and Li Xuan will not stay longer. In fact, his trip to the mainland this time was not properly considered, and he came by plane hastily when he came up with an idea. Li Xuan was completely unaware of his current identity, which was completely different in the eyes of others.

Forbes magazine originally selected the Fortune 400 in the United States, but a non-American like Li Xuan made it to the top. His net worth of 7 billion is 3.5 times that of the second place, although Forbes magazine does not count the wealth of the world's richest people, but all the editors do not think that there are richer individuals in the world than Li Xuan. So, they arbitrarily gave Li Xuan the title of the richest man in the world.

Of course, Forbes magazine's judgment is actually very accurate, and in another time and space, Forbes magazine first conducted the world's richest ranking in 1985. The first person to become the richest man in the world was Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, who had a fortune of less than $5 billion at the time. (To be continued......)
