Chapter 340: The Great Gift of Preparation
This is the real purpose of Li Xuan looking for Lu Qintian to have morning tea today. The equity distribution of the three parties in the joint venture picture tube factory is 45% of Dongfang Electronics, 30% of RCA's shares, and 25% of Lu's Electronics.
Although the joint venture is managed by Lu Qintian's team, Lu's Electronics is actually the smallest party. After Dongfang Electronics completed the annexation of RCA, Li Xuan's shareholding in the joint venture CRT factory has reached 75%.
But Li Xuan still very politely invited Lu Qintian to discuss together, but the advice he gave was not allowed to be questioned by Lu Qintian. And Lu Qintian obviously understood this, Li Xuan's opinion on him was just selling his face.
"Li Sheng, as the scale of the CRT factory is getting bigger and bigger, I am gradually a little powerless to manage the factory! You know, I also have a Lu's Electronics Company in my hands! So see if you can make it easier for me and have RCA send a team to take over the management of the CRT factory!" Lu Qintian said embarrassedly.
Li Xuan looked at Lu Qintian and smiled, he was really a good person, very good, he didn't need Li Xuan to speak, he knew how to advance and retreat. In fact, as early as the construction of the second phase of the picture tube factory, the American RCA company began to meddle in the management of the joint venture picture tube factory under the pretext of technical guidance.
After all, after the completion of the second phase of the expansion, the annual production capacity of the joint venture CRT factory has reached 3.9 million CRT. This is already a large factory with an annual output value of up to three or four billion US dollars, so even RCA is starting to be a little excited.
And RCA's intervention is bound to cause some friction with Lu Qintian's team. After all, according to the previous tripartite agreement, RCA was only responsible for technical support. It does not have the right to interfere with the specific production operations of the factory. It's just that the construction and operation of a large-scale CRT factory is definitely a high-tech undertaking. Without the support of RCA's technical team, the talents in Lu Qintian's hands really can't be played.
Hence the intervention of Dongfang Electronics. Lu Qintian finally made some concessions and compromises. And although the Americans have put their hands into the operation of the joint venture plant, the deep-sea special zone is not their home turf after all.
With his good relationship with the SAR government, Lu Qintian secretly intervened through the SAR government and firmly controlled the grassroots employees of the factory. RCA has a few people in the management, but without the support of its employees, it is not a threat at all.
In the past, the reason why Lu's Electronics dared to fight openly and secretly with RCA was because of the tacit consent of the Eastern Bloc. As long as it does not affect the normal production of the factory, Dongfang Electronics adopts an attitude of watching the fire from the other two partners to compete with each other. After all, if the joint venture factory becomes Lu Qintian's hall. It's not a good thing for Dongfang Electronics.
But now the situation has completely changed, and the boss of RCA has suddenly become Li Xuan. As soon as Lu Qintian learned that Oriental Group was preparing to acquire RCA Company, he began to think about what kind of attitude he should adopt in the joint venture in the future.
He had completely vacated the RCA personnel before, but he certainly couldn't do that in the future. However, if Lu Qintian obediently withdrew from the operation of the joint venture factory, he was a little unwilling. After all, the joint venture factory is like a child raised by Lu Qintian, and he also has feelings for this factory, and of course, more importantly, there are benefits.
And now, Lu Qintian heard that Li Xuan was ready to take a breath. Expanding the scale of CRT to 10 million CRTs per year, he suddenly came to his senses. Benefiting from the recovery of the U.S. economy, RCA's total TV sales this year may exceed 5 million units.
If the Eastern Bloc is really prepared to gradually outsource all of this capacity to Hong Kong companies. According to some rules summarized in the long-term cooperation between Lu Qintian and the Oriental Group. The "God of Wealth Li" in front of him is likely to really choose to create a large-scale production base with an annual output of 10 million TVs in the deep-sea special zone across the river from Hong Kong.
And this huge industrial cluster. The most central part is naturally the picture tube factory. If Li Xuan decides that the picture tubes of this TV production base will be supplied by the joint venture factory nearby. Then Dongfang Electronics will never continue to allow outsiders to continue to get involved in the operation of the factory.
Therefore, Lu Qintian took the initiative to make the right choice at the first time. He would rather give his full attention now. are concentrated in their own Lu's Electronics Company, how much profit can be shared from RCA's TV production outsourcing model!
Li Xuan was naturally very happy to see that the other party was so knowledgeable. Just as Lu Qintian guessed, Li Xuan is indeed preparing to locate RCA's future TV production base in the Deep Sea Special Zone. This was his first big gift to the mainland government.
In the next three to five years, when RCA's TV production shifts to Asia, RCA's TV sales will be at least 5 million units a year, even if it does not grow. With the explosion of personal computer sales, Li Xuan believes that in three to five years, the annual demand for computer monitors of Aikang Company can also reach four or five million units.
Li Xuan only needs to grasp a few key points such as the most core picture tube, TV semiconductors, etc., and the company that wants to undertake other accessories and the company responsible for production outsourcing will naturally build a factory according to the baton of Dongfang Electronics very obediently.
Once completed, the TV and display production base planned by Li Xuan could easily exceed $1 billion in annual output. Even in 30 years, this scale will make local governments fight for the top, let alone in the 80s. As long as Li Xuan's plan is thrown out, it will be enough to listen to it directly, and the previous unpleasantness will also disappear!
The television industry is already a sunset industry in the United States, and even if Li Xuan outsources the manufacturing of RCA to Asian companies, it will not affect American employment. In fact, before this year, RCA had already moved most of the low-tech, labor-intensive processes to Mexico under Bradshaw's tough stance.
This is also the reason why when the Eastern Group acquired RCA before, it dared to promise that there would be no large-scale layoffs within two years. RCA's labor unions didn't make a big fuss at the time of the takeover, also because the most combative low-level industrial workers were laid off a few years ago because RCA closed its U.S. factories. Naturally, the relevant unions have nothing to do with RCA.
The television industry is also not included in the list of high-tech industries restricted by the U.S. government. Dongfang Electronics' handling of the television business does not need to be as careful as the previous personal computer and semiconductor industries.
Li Xuan and Lu Qintian finished their morning tea. When they walked out of the Fulinmen Restaurant together, they happened to be photographed by the reporter waiting at the door. Fu Lam Mun Restaurant is a well-known dining room in Hong Kong. Many Hong Kong tycoons and celebrities like to dine here, so reporters are often haunted by the door.
Li Xuan couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth before getting into the car, the photo taken by the reporter of him eating with Lu Qintian is enough to make the market have a lot of associations after seeing the newspaper tomorrow. And this news actually spread far faster than Li Xuan imagined!
Lu's Electronics Co., Ltd.'s share price retreated slightly after soaring 30% after the market opened. But at the opening of the afternoon session, the news that Lu Qintian and "God of Wealth Li" had morning tea together had spread all over the market, and Lu's Electronics Company once again bought a large number of strong orders, with a cumulative increase of 41% before the market closed. Affected by the soaring stock price of Lu's Electronics Company, Lu Qintian's personal assets soared by hundreds of millions in one day. Thus. Li Xuan and Dongfang Electronics have had a profound impact on the entire Hong Kong economy.
"Choose a city to grow old and meet a white head! I can't imagine that you can still say such poetic words!" Zhong Chuhong leaned his head on Li Xuan's shoulder with a smile, and his two slender hands unconsciously wrapped around the soft flesh on his waist on both sides.
Li Xuan's body tensed all of a sudden, and whenever Zhong Chuhong's hand was placed in that position, it would evoke all kinds of painful memories in him.
"When you meet a white head, it's a pity that you seem to have met several people, which one are you going to choose to accompany you all the way!" Zhong Chuhong said softly in Li Xuan's ear. She had already grabbed a lump of fine flesh from between her fingers and twisted it around three hundred and sixty degrees.
"Shh
Liji was pregnant not long ago. Li Xuan naturally didn't want her to continue to stay in the deep-sea special zone where the medical conditions were relatively backward. So Li Zhi had quietly returned to Hong Kong a few days ago, Li Xuan thought he was doing something unknowingly, but Zhong Chuhong quickly got the news.
Although she gave birth to twins, the third generation of the Li family is still a little thin. If Li Xuan's parents knew that Li Zhi was pregnant. Although they like Zhong Chuhong's daughter-in-law very much, they definitely don't want the blood of the Li family to be left out.
So Zhong Chuhong simply took the initiative, and she personally told her father-in-law Li Haichuan the news. Li Haichuan scolded his son bitterly. It was made clear that Li Zhi could not enter the door of the Li family! Of course, the child she was carrying in her belly. It is definitely necessary to recognize the ancestors and return to their ancestors.
Zhong Chuhong seemed to have screwed enough, and started easily. Coquettishly wrapped his arms around Li Xuan's neck: "Great talent, since you are so literate, read me a love poem." If I can be satisfied, I will let you go! Speaking of which, it was so easy to be deceived by you in the first place, and you never even wrote me a love letter!"
In the face of Zhong Chuhong's request, Li Xuan must definitely meet it. His brain began to work rapidly, and there was, so Li Xuan said with a smile.
"When you're old, and your hair is gray, and you're sleepy,
Volume sat by the fireside, took down the book,
Read slowly, chasing the eyes of the dream
……”
Li Xuan was reading aloud affectionately, but was interrupted by Zhong Chuhong: "Who wouldn't know Yeats's "When You're Old", there is no sincerity at all, I want you to create it yourself!"
Is this poem already famous? Li Xuan really doesn't remember that its author is Yeats! But he still has one poem, which is said to have been written by the great Indian poet Gortai and included in the "Bird Collection." As a result, some good people searched the "Bird Collection", but there was no trace of this poem.
"The farthest distance in the world
Not the distance between life and death
but
I stand before you
But you don't know that I love you
The farthest distance in the world
It's not that I'm standing in front of you
But you don't know that I love you
but
They know that they love each other
But we can't be together."
Li Xuan held Zhong Chuhong's coquettish face: "I'm sorry! Being able to have you is the greatest happiness in my life, I love you!"
After Li Xuan finished speaking, he watched Zhong Chuhong close his eyes gently, and immediately kissed him affectionately! (To be continued......)
