Chapter 563: Contraction and Expansion (II)
What is called a more positive attitude? That is, the original export of products has been transformed into the export of technology and capital! The profit from selling a television set is naturally higher than that of selling a picture tube, but the import of television sets to China not only has high tariffs, but also quota restrictions.
Naturally, this will greatly curb the sales of foreign-branded television sets in China, while the export of technology and capital will be on the contrary, completely catering to the needs of domestic reform and opening up and attracting investment! The reason why this national television industry seminar was held in Shenhai City is that in addition to the all-out application of the SAR government, it also has a great deal to do with the efforts of the Eastern Bloc.
Oriental Group has established the largest and most complete TV and display manufacturing base in China in the Nanhu Electronic Development Zone. With the continuous expansion of the scale of the entire industrial zone, the huge production capacity has begun to supply the needs of the domestic market in addition to the global market of the Eastern Bloc. Especially since last year,The sales of domestic color TVs ushered in a **** scale explosion。
The output of domestic picture tubes is far from meeting the demand, so the relevant state departments began to relax the proportion of domestic sales of products of joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the Shenhai Special Economic Zone.
The adjustment of this policy has allowed the deep-sea manufacturing base, which was originally independent of the domestic TV industry, to gradually integrate into the domestic market. And the Oriental Group is also very interested in reciprocating the peach, which is why there is a large-scale technology introduction of domestic electronics enterprises.
A large number of domestic enterprises have mastered the core technology of television production, including the manufacturing technology of picture tubes, which will naturally greatly damage the competitiveness of the Oriental Group's own television sets in the Chinese market in the future.
However, the RCA brand of the Oriental Group is mainly aimed at the United States, and Asia is the traditional backyard of Japanese companies. As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. Even if the Eastern Bloc messes up the entire Asian television market, the impact on itself will be minimal. On the contrary, it will make Japanese companies such as Sony and Panasonic suffer a lot of losses.
Because of this, the Eastern Group is not afraid that technology transfer will allow Chinese companies to grow rapidly. Opposite. The Eastern Bloc could reap significant profits from the rise of China's television industry with more relaxed terms of cooperation.
For example, in this large-scale technology transfer, RCA, as the technology transferor, not only reaped a huge transfer fee, but also expanded its influence in the entire Chinese TV industry.
And other companies in the Eastern Bloc system have also followed suit. For example, Jiahua Bank and Standard Chartered Bank have provided Chinese enterprises with a total of up to 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in factory construction capital loans.
This is still part of all the plans of the Eastern Group, after all, the cooperation with the Eastern Group is the most powerful backbone enterprises under the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Even companies in the future industry, such as Changhong, are excluded, and the Eastern Group also provides alternative options for these excluded companies.
For example, Ni Runfeng proposed the construction of a picture tube factory. If you choose to build a large-scale factory with a whole process, then the total investment will definitely need hundreds of millions of yuan. However, if it is only to build a picture tube assembly line, the investment cost can be reduced to only a few million yuan in an instant, which greatly reduces the threshold for entering the industry.
This is based on the large-scale industrial clusters established by the Oriental Group in the deep-sea special zone in the early stage, such as Changhong Company, once it chooses to invest, it joins the industrial system of the Eastern Group. Because the raw materials required for the production of CRT need to be provided by other enterprises in the system.
Once Changhong joins the system of the Eastern Group, it will create opportunities for other parts suppliers in the system. For example, a coil company can provide products with higher quality and lower prices than the coils currently used in Changhong Factory, and Ni Runfeng is out of cost reduction. I will definitely choose to replace the original supplier.
In fact, this system of the Eastern Bloc was established several years ago, but why did it choose to start acting now? In fact, it has a lot to do with the domestic economic system, under which the production and sales of television sets are strictly controlled. Enterprises outside the system such as the Eastern Bloc simply cannot intervene.
With the deepening of the reform of the economic system, the original plan has been opened up little by little, allowing enterprises to produce and sell some unplanned products on their own. It still has to talk about Changhong Company. At the beginning of the year, it took the lead in implementing the first independent price increase in the TV industry.
It is important to know that for a long time, the pricing power of all domestic products did not lie with the manufacturer. Changhong's action can be described as the first time in the world. If it had been placed ten years ago, Ni Runfeng, the factory director, might have even been arrested and imprisoned.
However, in China, the supply of television sets is seriously in short supply. and the rising prices of raw materials, Changhong and Ni Runfeng's non-compliance with the rules has not been dealt with.
The return of the price adjustment mechanism to the manufacturers is a major breakthrough for the free competition of the entire television industry. It is against this background that the decision-making department of the Eastern Bloc believes that the time is ripe for a large-scale entry into the domestic television industry.
Lao Ni is also a celebrity, but Li Xuan is not very interested in him. This comrade brought Changhong Company to the peak of glory with one hand, and knocked it into the quagmire with the other!
Some people say that as long as the CEO of a state-owned enterprise has a conscience, there is nothing that he can't do badly! Ni Runfeng naturally devoted himself to the public interest at the beginning, so under his helm, Changhong Company has developed day by day. But then he began to have selfish intentions and wanted to pocket the company through MBO (management buyout), so Changhong became a victim of this conflict of interests.
Management buyouts abroad are often backed by financial capital. However, due to China's special national conditions, enterprise ownership is inherently more complicated. Financial capital rarely provides financial endorsement to the management openly, which makes the MBO operation often a farce of crooked state-owned asset loss!
Therefore, Li Xuan's enthusiasm for Ni Runfeng was naturally not very high, and he directly asked him to contact the person in charge of RCA for specific discussions. In contrast, Li Xuan's interest in Liu Chuanzhi was much higher.
In another time and space, he can at least be called the godfather of China's IT industry. Although there are also many controversies in the power struggle between him and Ni Guannan, this kind of controversy is more focused on the concept of development and not too much personal selfishness!
"Li Sheng. I think that since the Oriental Research Institute can establish a joint venture with the Shanghai and Strait side to establish the Shuguang Company, why can't it choose to take a stake in the Lianxiang Company? I had an exchange with the people of the Shuguang Company not long ago. I found that their management is very rigid, and it is not much different from most of the state-owned enterprises in the country!
Compared with. Mr. Liu Chuanzhi and I have known each other for less than a week, but I feel the surging vitality from him! I found that our Oriental Group seems to prefer to enter the mainland market in a cooperative way, while Lianxiang Company may not be as large as the current Shuguang Company, but it has higher development potential!"
Although Liu Chang has resigned from the Oriental Group, he still has a tone of self-proclaimed as an employee of the Eastern Group. After Li Xuan said goodbye to Ni Runfeng, he invited the two to continue chatting in the hotel's café, and Liu Chang quickly promoted Lianxiang Company to his former boss.
Li Xuan smiled noncommittally and did not rush to answer. So Liu Chang stretched out his hand and gently stabbed the main owner, signaling Liu Chuanzhi to hurry up and seize the opportunity. If you can get Li Xuan's favor. Even thinking that the company ushered in take-off is just a blink of an eye.
"After I inspected Liu Chang's Feiyue Company, I once had the idea of developing my own memory module. But then I thought about it carefully, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step! The company's current accumulation is not enough for us to be too radical in research and development!
And if the company wants to accumulate more strength, it naturally needs to sell more computers. As Mr. Li said before, Lian Xiang's next development focus should be on market expansion!" Liu Chuanzhi did not answer Liu Chang's words, but affirmed Li Xuan's suggestions when he was on the road before.
"Your company conducts market development. It also requires a lot of capital investment. With the increase in sales, it takes a huge amount of money to build a new factory to expand production capacity!
So if you have financing needs, Oriental Ventures is ready to open the door for you! Liu Chang next to you is a former employee of Oriental Ventures. I'm sure he'll introduce you to what venture capital is!" Li Xuan said with a slight pretense before leaving.
In another time and space, the real explosion of China's computer market was after 2000. Even if it was affected by Li Xuan's butterfly a few years earlier, it would basically be ten years later!
Therefore, Li Xuan is not very interested in entering the Chinese computer market now. Because the market is too small in the short term. And the reason why he is willing to talk so much with Liu Chuanzhi is more like a bad taste that bursts out when he meets a celebrity in the industry.
Investing in Lenovo is just a trivial matter for Li Xuan. He also doesn't know if history has been changed beyond recognition by him, and he even wonders if he will be the global PC sales champion in the future.
And even if Liu Chuan Intelligent leads Lianxiang Company to reshape the glory of another time and space. It is also not worth mentioning in the face of the huge Eastern bloc. After so many years of experience, Li Xuan has long been no longer Wuxia Ameng, and has begun to slowly look down on those characters who can only look up in another time and space.
Oriental Group began to accelerate its pace in the domestic television industry, and strengthened its influence in the entire industry through the way of technology output. But in other respects, the Eastern Group has begun to shrink, such as Li Xuan's decision to resign from his position as a director of SUSTech.
SUSTech began to recruit students in 1985, and after nearly three years of development, all aspects have gradually been on the right track. From the very beginning of its preparation, this school has been deeply engraved with the personal imprint of the Oriental Group and Li Xuan.
But it was precisely because this connection was so close that Li Xuan had to take the initiative to start splitting. You must know that next year's turmoil, the university is the hardest hit area! And a university with overseas capital support will be pushed to the forefront if it is not careful!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"You suddenly proposed to resign from your post as a school manager, but it has caused a lot of worry! The State Education Commission and the SAR government have called me several times and asked if you have any other ideas!
And both sides said that if you are under too much pressure in terms of funding, the state can increase the proportion of funding for schools!" Zhao Weiming smiled at Li Xuan.
You must know that 70% of SUSTech's current funding comes from donations from Li Xuan's charitable foundation. In other words, Li Xuan is completely using his own money to raise a first-class university in the country for the country.
"Since the state is willing to increase the appropriation funds, we naturally can't refuse! You just tell them, how much the state will increase the funds, and the Oceanpower Foundation under my name will make additional support at a ratio of 1 to 1, and there is no upper limit!
As for my resignation for personal reasons. From next year, I plan to spend more time with my family, so I may not have the energy to participate in the management of the school. Instead of occupying Maoken and not, it is better to abdicate and make way for Xian!
Li Xuan smiled and said, this reason is actually very far-fetched. Because although the board of directors of SUSTech is the highest authority, it does not need to spend much energy, except for reviewing the school's annual report twice a year in the middle and end of the year, the rest of the time does not interfere in the daily management of the school.
But as long as Li Xuan's attitude of fully supporting SUSTech does not change, it really doesn't matter whether he stays on as a trustee. In fact, according to Li Xuan's original plan, he never planned to become the trustee of SUSTech, but later he couldn't resign, so he had to take office.
His status is too sensitive, and if he continues to serve as a trustee of SUSTech, he will likely be forced to choose a side after the turmoil begins next year. And whatever choice he makes, it is not good news for the Eastern bloc.
In addition to Li Xuan's resignation as a trustee of SUSTech, the Deep-Sea R&D Center of the Oriental Research Institute has also begun a large-scale personnel adjustment, and a large number of R&D personnel have been seconded to the Hong Kong headquarters.
For example, Liu Wei is one of them, and his mobile communication R&D team has all been merged into the digital mobile phone R&D team of the Hong Kong headquarters. The next two years will be the most stringent years for the West's domestic technical audit.
This is naturally not conducive to the division of scientific research within the Oriental Research Institute, so Lixuan must make adjustments in advance!
Otherwise, if the domestic branch of the Oriental Research Institute frequently applies for scientific research results with great application value, it will undoubtedly be a naked slap in the face to the Western countries' sanctions against China. Li Xuan doesn't want to bear the consequences of this kind of rebellion inexplicably!(To be continued.) )
