Chapter 427: The Undercurrent of Unknown
The general manager of the Provincial Electronic Industry Joint Company was next to Governor Ye. After hearing Yang Guangsheng's words, his face couldn't help but turn a little dark, and he immediately glared at the two responsible persons of Huaqiang Company.
Huaqiang Electronics Co., Ltd. is a new company formed by the merger of several "small third-line" factories in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong Province after moving to the Shenhai Special Economic Zone, and is under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Electronics Industry United Company. The Provincial Electronic Industry United Company is the original Provincial Electronic Industry Bureau, which was abolished into an enterprise unit by the administrative department directly under the provincial government two years ago, but is still responsible for the administrative management of the province's electronic industry.
The joint venture project between Huaqiang and RCA was negotiated between the Provincial Electronics Industry Joint Company and the Eastern Group under the guidance of the Shenhai Special Administrative Region Government. At the beginning of the negotiations, the Eastern Bloc did not make any unreasonable demands, and it was also very eloquent on key issues such as technology transfer and export quotas.
The only requirement for the Eastern Group is that it must have the final financial review of the joint venture. At that time, the negotiators of the Eastern Bloc proposed that RCA must have sufficient means to ensure that its interests were not infringed upon, provided that it did not intervene in the day-to-day operation and management of the joint venture plant.
RCA is the customer, and even if it obtains the right to audit the finances, it cannot be deceitful. RCA is not distrustful of the Chinese management team, but when it comes to the interests of both parties, it would rather be a villain before a gentleman! One party is responsible for management and the other party is responsible for supervision, which can make the company's operation more clear and beneficial to both parties!
At that time, the terms of the joint venture given by the Oriental Group were far superior to those of Japan's Sanyo Company. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Provincial Electronics Industry United Company finally decided to take a step back. Agreed to the request of the Eastern Group to allow Huaqiang Electronics to enter into a joint venture with RCA.
In recent years, state-owned enterprises have generally implemented the factory director responsibility system. Yang Guangsheng, as the general manager of Huaqiang Electronics Company, has a strong authority in the company. It's almost a no-brainer. However, after he became the general manager of the joint venture plant, he felt very awkward about the management of the new factory.
The two most important parts of controlling an enterprise are personnel power and financial power. According to the company's system, Yang Guangsheng, the general manager of the joint venture company, has a certain amount of financial signing power, and small sums of money can be directly allocated by him with just a nod from him.
However, in order for these appropriations to be finally recorded, they need to be approved by the foreign deputy general manager in charge of finance. The large amount of money in the company must be decided by the Chinese and foreign managers through negotiation.
Not long ago, a joint venture company's infrastructure cost of more than 2 million yuan was stuck by the deputy manager sent by RCA. Delays in disbursement. According to the articles of association formulated by the joint venture company, the contractor of such a large-scale infrastructure project needs to be determined through public bidding.
However, the CEO of a second-level infrastructure company under the Special Zone Construction Group found a friend of Yang Guangsheng to come to the door to talk about the project. Yang Guangsheng couldn't erase his feelings, so he directly gave the project to the other party.
He used to be used to talking in Huaqiang Electronics Company, but the joint venture company was not Huaqiang Company. The deputy general manager on behalf of the RCA did not hesitate to veto the payment that did not comply with the procedure.
In the end, the Provincial Electronics Industry United Corporation came forward to mediate, and the RCA made concessions. But Mr. Yang was also forced to conduct a review, which made him feel like he was in a joint venture factory. Prestige has been dealt a serious blow.
The joint venture plant is the staff training before the start of construction, and the technical representative of RCA is fully responsible. RCA has strict criteria for selecting employees for the joint venture factory, accepting only skilled skilled workers, and clearing out many of the related households that have been plugged in.
It is necessary to know the treatment of foreign enterprises and joint ventures in the Special Economic Zone. Generally better than domestic enterprises. Therefore, after the establishment of Huaqiang's joint venture TV factory, the position of the new factory suddenly became a fragrant bun for everyone. The cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods from the province and the city who came with various approvals came to the door one after another. And the old employees within Huaqiang company. I also took the opportunity to ask the company's leaders to solve the problem of working children.
But RCA's technical trainers are selfless, and for good reason. Only by putting qualified workers on the job can the preset production efficiency and capacity be achieved. The contract clearly states that after the first production line is put into operation. The monthly production of TVs needs to reach about 20,000 units.
However, if the production capacity is not up to standard because of the workers, Huaqiang Company will be severely criticized by the superiors! However, those workers who have been eliminated by RCA technical training personnel will not consider the overall situation.
Naturally, they didn't want to miss out on a good job, so they came to Yang Guangsheng, the general manager, to make trouble. This made Yang Guangsheng very headache, and he was naturally even more dissatisfied with the RCA company of the joint venture party!
"Governor Ye, our company has actually been prepared in advance, and we are fully prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties! Even if we are a loving couple who respect each other, there are still times when we quarrel! Not to mention that we and RCA have completely different management systems. The current cooperation between the two sides is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there is always a process of getting acquainted with each other and running in with each other.
RCA is the largest television manufacturer in the United States, and their manufacturing technology and production efficiency are much ahead of ours! The reason why we want to open up our borders and attract foreign capital is to learn from the strengths of others!
Since you are going to be a student, you must have the courage to bow low and be small, and the most critical task is to learn the advanced experience of the other party!" Seeing the eyes of the president of the provincial company, Li Huolin, deputy general manager of Huaqiang Company, who was standing on the side, immediately remedied.
Yang Guangsheng said this in front of Governor Ye just now, which seemed to be self-criticism, but anyone could hear a bit of resentment in his words.
But what is the occasion now? This is a celebration banquet for the joint venture company to put into production, even if you have a big opinion, you should not say it at this time to spoil the atmosphere!
Li Huolin actually hoped that Yang Guangsheng would continue to be stupid, but after receiving the eyes handed over by the leaders of the provincial company, he had no choice but to come forward to bring the words back with the overall situation in mind! In fact, Huaqiang Company was by no means a harmonious atmosphere, and Li Huolin, the second-in-command of the company, had long been very dissatisfied with Yang Guangsheng's arbitrary and arbitrary style!
At the beginning, Huaqiang Company was formed by the merger of four electronics factories, of which the factory where Yang Guangsheng was the director was the largest and the most technically strong. Naturally, it was selected by the province as the main body of the merger.
One of the other three factory directors, including Li Huolin, chose to be transferred to work in the SAR government. One of them chose to retire early, and Li Huolin became the deputy general manager of the newly established Huaqiang Electronics Company. But he was very unhappy as the deputy general manager. was almost completely overtaken by Yang Guangsheng, the number one!
"If your Huaqiang company can have this attitude, I can rest assured! Our country is indeed far behind the world's advanced level in the electronics industry, and we must admit this! Since we are lagging behind, we should be brave and strive to catch up!
At that time, Mr. Li Xuan proposed to the central leadership that an industrial center with an annual output of 10 million televisions and monitors should be built in Shenhai City. While feeling excited, the central government couldn't help but reflect!
Our country's annual TV production last year was only worth more than 5 million units. Key components such as color picture tubes. In the face of such a severe form, our industrialists must have the ambition to strive for the top!" Ye Ping said loudly.
Governor Ye was so certain that Yang Guangsheng was going to continue to say many of the things that had to be held back in his stomach. And the boss of the provincial company also used a stern eye to warn him not to talk nonsense on occasions!
Yang Guangsheng is an old revolutionary born in a red ghost, who joined the Eighth Route Army in 1940, and his qualifications are deeper than most of the leaders in the provincial company. Therefore, although the provincial company also heard some voices before, reflecting that Yang Guangsheng was arbitrary within Huaqiang Company, the provincial company has not taken specific actions.
But just now, when the president of the provincial company looked at Yang Guangsheng again. His eyes were already full of unkindness, and he estimated in his heart that he had a very bad opinion of this Yang Guangsheng! Yang Guangsheng had an opinion on the RCA company, and several CEOs of the provincial company were clear. But you, Yang Guangsheng, didn't take advantage of it every time! Not only did you not find the reason for yourself, but you also talked nonsense on inappropriate occasions!
The entire celebration banquet ended in a group of harmony, and Li Xuan naturally didn't know the vignette. On the inside of the joint venture plant that has just been put into operation today. RCA is fighting openly and secretly with the top management of Huaqiang Company, and he is even more unaware!
For Li Xuan. This joint venture television factory is only in the tens of billions of dollars in assets of the entire Eastern Bloc. It was insignificant at all, and naturally it couldn't attract too much of his attention.
However, Coolant previously told him that the monthly output of the joint venture plant would soon increase to 25,000 units after it was put into operation, an increase of 25% over the original plan. This made him a little interested!
RCA's technicians, according to the actual situation in China, have made appropriate improvements to the production line, and have increased the number of people in some bottleneck processes in the assembly line. Originally, the production line required 500 workers to work at the same time, but after this improvement, it has increased to more than 700 people.
At the cost of 40% more workers, production capacity was increased by 25%. If this is in the United States, where labor costs are expensive, it is definitely not cost-effective. But in Chinese mainland, where the labor cost is so cheap that it is only one-fortieth of the United States, it is very cost-effective!
Because the annual production capacity of the 25 TVs originally planned by the joint venture factory was strictly arranged. Of these, 100,000 TVs are exported, and the remaining 150,000 will be allocated to commercial systems for sale in accordance with the annual plan drawn up by the Guangdong Provincial Planning Commission. The ex-factory price of the TV set is also set by the government, which strictly limits the profit of the factory.
But now the extra 5,000 units per month is an unplanned target, which can be sold by the TV factory itself. Color TVs are in short supply of household appliances, and the unplanned price is much higher than the planned allocation price! Therefore, the profits of these unplanned production capacity far exceed the planned production capacity!
Ye Ping took office as governor of eastern Guangdong Province in April this year, which was also the first time he visited the Shenhai Special Economic Zone since he took office as governor.
One of the most important items in Governor Ye's itinerary is to visit the Southern University of Science and Technology, which will officially open in September this year. This Southern University of Science and Technology is the experimental university that Professor Bai hoped to build.
It's just that Bai's philosophy of running a school is too idealistic and does not conform to the actual national conditions of the mainland, so he finally chose to part ways with Li Xuan. But Li Xuan did not stop the plan for a new university because of this. After the old South Tour, the new university, which was finally named Southern University of Science and Technology, finally cleared all the obstacles to its establishment!
The site of Southern University of Science and Technology is located next door to Deep Sea University. According to the plan of the SAR government, a large area adjacent to the Nanhu Development Zone will be centered around Shenhai University and Southern University of Science and Technology, and then integrate several newly established vocational colleges by the SAR government to build a university town and a high-tech incubation base in the Shenhai Special Zone.
In the future, this university town will provide a steady stream of intellectual support for the nearby Nanhu Electronic Development Zone, the Shekou industry a little further away, and the entire Shenhai Special Economic Zone! It can be said that the Shenhai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have a complete and majestic industrial plan for the entire western block of the Special Economic Zone!
Li Xuan accompanied Governor Ye to this university town that was still in the drawing board for an investigation, but their first stop was not to Southern University of Science and Technology, but to Shenhai University first.
The Shenhai Municipal Government's thirst for a university has never waned, and while actively supporting Southern University of Science and Technology to settle in the Shenhai Special Zone, it is also working hard to build another university.
Shenhai University admitted its first class of students as early as the fall of 1983, but at that time its conditions were so difficult that it did not even have a campus. The classrooms where students attend classes are borrowed from the office building of the Deep Sea Television University, which was newly established at that time.
It was only after the D Laonan Tour that the construction of the Shenzhen University campus began to be fully rolled out. It can be said that the campuses of Shenhai University and Southern University of Science and Technology are under construction at the same time.
However, it only took half a year for Shenhai University to complete the initial construction of the campus before the enrollment of the second batch of students in September last year, which once again vividly demonstrated what is called deep-sea speed!
In contrast, the Southern University of Science and Technology, which is separated by a wall, has been slow to build by a full year. But in the eyes of outsiders, this speed is actually very fast. For example, the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, which was also organized by Li Xuan, took three and a half years to build its campus with the support of the Hong Kong government's abundant financial funds......!
