Chapter 113: Breaking the Psychological Defense...

MacLehose gave his order in a calm tone, and without giving any reply to the subordinate on the other end of the phone, he gently put the microphone back on the telephone. He then took a Cuban cigar from the wooden box on the table, cut it with a cigar scissor, and spun it to roast it over the flame.
The sun shone on his face from the side, reflecting his marble-like resolute face, expressionless.
The electronic industrial park has not yet skimmed the eight characters, and he has received a lot of calls in the past two days. The British-funded consortia and pro-Anglo-Chinese consortia in Hong Kong have all expressed their intention to get a piece of the industrial park project on the phone, either explicitly or implicitly. There are also people within the Hong Kong government who are trying to lobby him to get the best out of it.
Real estate developers, banks, and building materials manufacturers all want to undertake this big project, and there is no shortage of British-funded water, electricity, and communication companies, and they all regard it as their own meal.
The market for portable tape recorders is so large that British-funded electronics companies in Hong Kong have sprung up. Even local electronics manufacturers don't know where to get the news, phone calls one after another, and all those who don't know come to the door. Some of them are acquaintances who have had dealings, and some of them have never been in contact with him, and they have also been introduced through intermediaries, or directly called him, all with the same meaning: whether they invest in the electronics industrial park or not, they must have a copy of the portable tape recorder
MacLehose is feeling a little bit like a tiger riding now.
At first, he only knew that Guan Fei planned to invite American manufacturers to set up factories in Hong Kong and form a production and sales cooperation alliance, so he was moved to combine it with his own idea of developing the electronics industry. So he threw out the bait of an electronic industrial park and a joint management committee, trying to lure the alliance to split, and together with American businessmen, snatched control of the portable tape recorder from Guan Fei.
Then, the blank blank check of where the location was placed and how it was implemented was actually spread to everyone, and even the big local companies were alarmed and offered to participate in it.
His head is now one with two big and doesn't know what to do next. You must know that those big companies have huge energy and a huge network of relationships at the top, if one of them answers badly and offends the other party, don't look at him who has served the queen for so long, it will end up in disgrace.
But it's not that simple to say yes.
Guan Fei's conditions are the bank, Jiayi TV, and he must also have a certain say in this committee.
That's not a problem.
Banks, the Bank of China, the national bank, are here, and what about one more Chinese-funded bank. Jiayi TV, he really doesn't want to give it, but Guan Fei's words are indeed reasonable, and the media can't control it. Annoyed the Chinese side and erected a high-power signal tower next door to Hong Kong, people can also publicize Hong Kong, and it is useless to try to keep the other party out
As for the right to speak in the committee, he has thought about it, and the position of the chairman of the committee must be sent by the Hong Kong government, and Guan Fei can be sent away if he is given a vice chairman who has no real power. As long as more than half of the British-funded and American-funded companies are over, even if they are not more than half, they can secretly control the companies through bank financing, and let the pro-British enterprises occupy the vast majority of the seats on the committee.
The problem is that he himself is not very confident that he will be able to set up this industrial park
With Guan Fei's original idea, it is not difficult to attract some European and American manufacturers to build an assembly plant in Hong Kong, just find an industrial building. However, if you want to set up an electronic industrial park, you need to have a complete industrial chain and form a scale advantage, which is almost impossible.
The American, Edmund, knew what he was saying.
It was precisely because he knew that he was so distressed, but Edmund only talked about the disadvantages of building a factory in Hong Kong in public, but kept silent about the advantages, and just pulled a few good manufacturers to talk secretly, and MacLehose could not get an answer from him.
The electronics industry is more demanding than he imagined: high-quality workers, a huge number of technicians, researchers, none of which Hong Kong has. For decades, the colonial policy only trained liberal arts students who were competent for clerical work and business operations, and a small number of engineering schools were only designed to provide workers for primary processing industries such as textiles and garments.
Electronic technology personnel, or after his arrival in office, gradually pay attention to it, the current savings of talent is far from enough.
Now the bigger problem is in front of him: Hong Kong is short of water, especially the demand for pure industrial water, and it is meaningless to build an electronics industrial park, no matter how well it is planned
The point is not here either.
He never wanted to build this industrial park at all, and even if it did, it would still be a copy of the Guanfei plan, but the control was in the hands of the Hong Kong government, and those who served China's jobs would never be allowed to appreciate China's good and expand China's influence in Hong Kong.
He was always on high alert for the behemoth next door.
He didn't want to see all kinds of advanced precision equipment and production lines landing in Hong Kong, and a large number of advanced technologies would be transferred to Hong Kong, and then learned from China. What he hopes to see is an ordinary industrial park that can provide employment for tens of thousands of people and increase tax revenue for the Hong Kong government.
But this idea, now there are also signs of bankruptcy.
Now that the local big enterprises and big conglomerates have shown their greedy faces, it is simply impossible for them to give up their attempts. In order to solve the problem of an excessively long industrial chain and save production costs, it is necessary to establish a relatively advanced electronic production enterprise in Hong Kong.
Putting the factory homegrown
It doesn't cost money to transport back and forth, and the cost is not rising
So after understanding the difficulties, MacLehose, who wanted to retreat, was now at a loss in the face of the turbulent waves in the local area. Sitting in this quiet study, he was a little uneasy.
Jingle bells
The shrill phone rang suddenly, and MacLehose's body couldn't help but tremble, as if it was not a phone call, but a cruel smile from hell.
He lifted the phone, took a breath, calmed himself, and maintained the majesty of the Governor: "I'm MacLehose"
"Mr. MacLehose, I'm Guan Fei, I heard that you are having a headache for industrial water, I thought, I can help you solve this problem." On the other end of the phone, Guan Fei's standard Mandarin rang.
But at this time, MacLehose never felt that Mandarin was so good, and the look on his face was a little brighter: "Are you really saying that the Chinese side is willing to supply us with enough water, even a very large amount of industrial water?"
"Yes, though, I have a suggestion"
Guan Fei's voice was unhurried, but as he gradually said his so-called "suggestion", the expression on MacLehose's face became condensed, and the fingers holding the microphone became more and more forceful, so that the joints became white.
"I can answer you now, I will never accept your suggestion" MacLehose tried his best to suppress the fire in his heart, and his tone was steady, trying to appear calm, "The water and electricity supply of the industrial park must be the responsibility of the enterprises authorized by the Hong Kong government. Even if this industrial park is not opened, it is impossible to hand it over to you, this is my bottom line, and it must not be shaken."
For a while, he was moved by his words, his expression was a little sad, and he even came up with the idea of abolishing the industrial park plan, even if he offended the local big capital and stepped down, but in order to protect the interests of the British Empire in Hong Kong, he did not hesitate.
"But how can we trust that the industrial zone will not be affected by politics, in case of water and electricity cutoff for some political reasons, then all the investment will not be in vain, not to mention that the Hong Kong government will treat investors fairly, as far as I know, a businessman surnamed Zeng, because he did something for us, was cut off from water and electricity, forced to sell assets, such a loss, we don't want to eat a second time" On the other end of the phone, Guan Fei's tone was still so calm, but what he said was so sharp and unceremoniously.
"You can not believe that investment is inherently risky, I can't give you any guarantees" MacLehose no longer pretended, and said coldly, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone." ”
"Wait a minute"
On the other end of the phone, Guan Fei's voice was a little hurried, and his calm tone was a little hurried, so he hurriedly stopped him not to hang up the phone. Then the voice of him talking to someone in a low voice sounded on the other side, the tone was a little stiff, and there seemed to be some arguments.
MacLehose smiled coldly.
It turns out that you are not so calm, as long as I bite the bottom line and do not let go, you have not become flustered, and you should have been tough from the beginning.
After a few minutes, Guan Fei's voice rang on the other end of the phone again, but his tone was much softer: "We have a suggestion: it is better to set up a main park and a branch park in the industrial park. The main park is planned by the Hong Kong government, and the branch park is close to the Shenzhen River, either Sheung Po or Yuen Long. Each investment enterprise settles in the main park, while Chinese-funded enterprises enter the branch park, and then the water and electricity of the main park is still responsible for the Hong Kong government, and the branch park is handed over to us."
MacLehose subconsciously refused.
Guan Fei said quickly: "Don't be busy refusing us not to seek the right to be in the management committee of the main park, just to manage the branch park carefully." In addition, we can also license the production of some industrial park enterprises, components, components, and complete machines can be so that the entire channel from upstream to downstream, you don't have to ask us anymore. This list is at your own discretion, and we will not interfere, but only follow the authorization of the list, and in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to triple the upper limit of Dongjiang's water supply to Hong Kong every year, reaching 180 million cubic meters, so that not only can Hong Kong's electronics industry achieve great development, but Hong Kong residents will also be completely satisfied with their daily water, and they will no longer have to endure the pain of limited water use."
MacLehose's breathing suddenly became rapid.
The other party's words were like the temptation of the devil, making him angry and unable to refuse, holding the microphone in his hand for a while and unable to speak.
OEM production, with this authorization, the Hong Kong government's status in the portable tape recorder will become the same as Taiyu, and even with the administrative authority in Hong Kong, higher than the other party. Such a huge benefit is enough to make the domestic giant ecstatic, and it is just around the corner to give him a medal of pure gold and obtain the title of nobility in advance
With the authorization, Taiyu Technology can be said to have handed over the leading position of portable tape recorders and become the same manufacturer as other companies, which is no longer insignificant.
What made him even more ecstatic was the promise of water supply
Supplying water to quell the water shortage is a difficult problem that successive governors of Hong Kong have not been able to solve, and it has really become a roadblock to Hong Kong's development, and it cannot be bypassed in any way.
And now, in order to gain control of a branch park, the other party has relented, and suddenly quadrupled the water supply ceiling, and from then on, Hong Kong will no longer have the risk of water shortage
The temptation was so great that he couldn't say a "no" even though he was angry several times
And if you push others, the water supply can be increased or cut off.
Guan Fei didn't say this, but with the British code of conduct, if he stood on the other side's side, it was hard to say that he would not take the threat of cutting off the water when he was angry, and it became a sharp knife that stuck directly into his heart. This sharp blade can be said to seal his throat when he sees blood, which makes him feel terrified, and he has no resistance, and finally completely crushes the last psychological defense.
"You have won the application for the establishment of a bank, the acquisition of shares of Jiayi TV or the establishment of your own TV station, these two transactions will be approved at the signing ceremony for the establishment of the industrial park Congratulations, you are a very good manager and negotiator, your country will be proud of you, good luck"
MacLehose endured the humiliation in his heart, and did not speak for ten minutes, and Guan Fei on the other side was also silent, waiting patiently, and finally waited for MacLehose's admission of defeat.
The phone was hung up.
