Chapter 273 Sole Proprietorship Factory

ps: I haven't had time to fix the typo, upload it first!

Among the cadres in eastern Guangdong Province that Li Xuan saw, 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, who was the eldest son of Hua Shuai and a representative of the Taizi-party. Of course, the biggest difference between him and other princes and the 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 retire to the second line as the vice chairman of the National People's Congress, and has been escorting Guangdong Province. Li Xuan naturally has to handle the relationship well.

"Li Xiaoyou's actions in Shanghai 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, saying that I had not invested a penny of cash, but Huhai City wanted to borrow tens of millions from Jiahua Bank!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha! This shows that Li Sheng has a way to make money!" Although Ye Ping was only the vice governor, he also had full say in front of the first secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor, so he took the lead in speaking.

"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 Institute of Oriental Studies and the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education launched a 'Dongfang Hong' program to deepen 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. He is naturally in charge of science and technology, and Dongfang Electronics Company happens to be a high-tech enterprise. Unlike other foreign-funded enterprises entering the mainland, they mainly 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. You contribute funds. We contribute manpower, so the win-win cooperation is very good!" Ye Ping also said with a smile.

Naturally, the emphasis he was talking about was not CUHK, but Chung Shan University in Yuezhou, one of the best engineering universities in southern China.

"Governor Ye, I'll get straight to the point, the Oriental Research Institute has a PCB board project recently, with a total investment of about 60 million US dollars. However, we prefer to be alone, so the Shekou Industrial Zone in the original Deep Sea Special Zone was one of our candidates. If other parts of eastern Guangdong Province, such as Yuezhou City, allow foreign-owned enterprises to build factories on their own. We can also consider building a factory here!" Li Xuan said suddenly.

Liang Linguang, the first secretary and mayor of the Yuezhou Municipal Party Committee, who was sitting next to Ye Ping, had a fine light in his eyes, looking at Li Xuan's expression, this project should still be in the research stage, and the outside world has not yet received news, he knows that this is a great opportunity for Yuezhou City.

Before 1980, the status of eastern Guangdong Province in the country was not high, and the total economic output could only rank 23rd, but after the central government established the reform and opening up policy. 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 investors investing in the mainland are processing low-value-added light industrial products such as garments and leather shoes. And the "God of Wealth Li" in front of him has ascended to the throne of the world's richest man in just over three years. Accumulated 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.

As the secretary of the Yuezhou Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of Yuezhou, Liang Linguang has a busy schedule, and he must spare 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 never came to Yuezhou, so he never met him.

After Li Xuan became the richest man in the world. Countless experts and scholars have carefully dissected his miraculous rise like a microscope. Views vary. But there is one thing that is 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 is not low, and it is a new 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" hype 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, and he chose the most appropriate industry at the most appropriate time. 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 knew that Dongfang's personal computers and game console products needed PCBs to make circuit boards. When he went to the electronics industry before, he visited the Guangdong Electronic Computer Research Institute. At that time, the director 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, and the previous research institute used domestic PCB boards to manufacture the motherboard of ABC-1 computers, and the results of the imitation of ABC-1 computers are not only lower than the original ABC-1 computers of Aikang Company, but the failure rate is much higher.

Liang Linguang can guess that the PCB factory that Li Xuan is ready to invest in 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 and leather shoe factories!

"I know that there are many restrictions on the introduction of foreign capital in China, and it can be summed up as a key point, the market changes technology, but the country must take the lead! However, the printed circuit boards produced by our project are mainly digested by the group itself.

Leaders also know that whether it is a personal computer, a handheld machine, or an arcade FC game console, it is necessary to use printed circuit boards to manufacture motherboards. Our own demand is very strong, so this PCB factory has no intention of entering the domestic market. And such an upstream raw material enterprise that is related to the production and operation of the entire Oriental Group's products, we want to be 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 market demand, so it was naturally reluctant to let domestic companies come in to share profits.

"Yes, we hope to take advantage of the abundant human resources in China, especially the sufficient reserve of technicians, to reduce our production costs! Compared with the Shenhai Special Economic Zone, I think a great advantage of Guangdong City is that it has a first-class university in China like Zhongshan University!

The picture tube factory of Dongfang Electronics, RCA Corporation of the United States, and Lu's Electronics of Hong Kong has just been put into production in May this year. 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 Shenhai Special Administrative Region government!

Although the deep-sea special zone is only separated from Hong Kong by a river and has a better geographical location, Guangdong City also has its own advantages. If the province agrees to Oriental Group to set up a wholly-owned factory in Yuezhou, then we will definitely take into account the advantages of Guangdong'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......)
