On the way to the Wuzhou Hotel for Lu Zheng and several comrades of the Foreign Economic Cooperation Commission, Yang Baimao, deputy director of the Foreign Economic Cooperation Commission, was restless, and he was worried that Lu Zheng, a big old man, would "insult the national body." However, Lu Zheng was the deputy director of the Education Commission, and he personally came out to do the translation work.

Lu Zheng, Yang Baimao, and others took a Mitsubishi business van, which was extremely fast and very stable, and arrived at the Wuzhou Hotel in less than half an hour.

Wuzhou Hotel was newly built last year, with complete facilities, more modern business living room, typewriter, photocopier, repeater and other office facilities.

At the oval-shaped conference table, the Chinese and German personnel sat on one side, and among several West Germans, the leader was called Johann Schroeder Gerhard Schroeder, probably in his forties, with a hooked nose, deep-set eye sockets, sharp eyes, and a strict face peculiar to Germans.

Yang Baimao's opening remarks were naturally a warm welcome and polite words, but he seriously lacked confidence in Lu Zheng, and the wording was relatively simple in spoken Chinese, but even so, he spoke for a long time.

Who knew that Lu Zheng simply popped out a few German words to Schroeder and others, Yang Baimao only felt that his head was big again, fortunately, today's guests are really irrelevant, I heard that they came from Beijing, just take a look, and there is no instruction from the Beijing ministry, it seems that they are just small businessmen.

"Welcome to Osan for inspection." That's what Lu Zheng's German said.

Schroeder took a deep look at Lu Zheng, perhaps, he felt that the young man in front of him was very different from the Chinese he had come into contact with in the past, and in China, the most common thing to hear was a long welcome speech.

Yang Baimao introduced his identity again, and said: "You come to China, is our guests, friendship first, business second, we open the country, is to seek common development with all Shijie friends, if you have anything in the future, just look for me, find our Foreign Economic Cooperation Committee, we will spare no effort to help you." "Although they are small businessmen, the Chinese have been hospitable since ancient times, and they need to establish a good reputation to attract investment. Yang Baimao has been engaged in foreign trade for more than ten years, at the beginning, he was dealing with red countries and Asian, African and Latin American countries, and now, he has gradually begun to deal with Western developed countries, and he still has a lot of experience.

Lu Zheng said a lot this time.

Although he didn't know what Lu Zheng said, Yang Baimao finally felt a little at ease, looking at the West German businessman Schroeder nodding and smiling, Director Lu of the Education Commission, it should not be a fake trick, Westerners, especially Germans, are the most rigorous, they will not be polite, if they can't understand their own translation, they would have brought it up a long time ago.

Schroeder muttered a lot at this time, and the Chinese translator beside him said: "Mr. Yang, you don't have to be polite, we have done our homework this time, in Oshan, we intend to invest 100 million US dollars to establish a joint venture with your country to establish a microcomputer company to produce all kinds of electronic products, we just want to know the specific policies of your Oshan, and whether there is a special policy for the Jishu Development Zone, and on what terms your government is ready to make a joint venture, or we can also invest independently." ”

"What? What did you say? What a hundred million dollars? Yang Baimao was stunned, he almost couldn't believe his ears, investing 100 million US dollars? What's that concept? Last year, the total amount of foreign investment in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was only HK$5.1 billion, and thanks to its proximity to Hong Kong, most of the investment received came from Hong Kong companies.

At the beginning of this year, the first Sino-foreign joint venture computer company between Guangzhou and Singapore, Aili Greenfield Computer Co., Ltd., Singaporeans only invested a few million dollars.

$100 million, that is, according to this year's 1:2. China's official exchange rate of 80 is nearly 300 million yuan, and the average salary in a first-tier city is less than 100 yuan.

So Yang Baimao felt that he must have heard it wrong, or he didn't really understand the meaning of the other party's words.

Lu Zheng frowned and asked, "Computer company?" What is your parent company? "German computer jishu is not very good, good end to run to invest in computer companies? And an investment of $100 million? Mo is not a foreign liar?

Schroeder smiled: "Mr. Lu, right?" Our company was established at the beginning of this year, but you can rest assured that our funds are very abundant, and we have just successfully acquired the personal computer development department of IBM in the United States, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

What the? Lu Zheng was even more surprised than Yang Baimao, the Germans acquired IBM's microcomputer jishu and business unit, this, where did this start? This shijie,It's a mess!

IBM's microcomputer division is naturally inconspicuous now, and Apple has just launched a graphics operating system, and the stubborn and old-fashioned shili is not optimistic about its development.

But Lu Zheng clearly knows that in the near future, the microcomputer will bring profound changes to this shijie.

But who are the Germans who bought IBM's personal computer business? This strategic vision is simply vicious and outrageous.

This shijie,Why is it suddenly not my original shijie.,Is it what I did.,Did you change this shijie?

Lu Zheng was puzzled, he just changed the fate of some people, including himself, in Quang Ninh, how could the butterfly wings be flapped to Germany?

Wait a minute? Germany, Lu Zheng suddenly remembered that he had contact with a few German children when he went to the United States to see his uncle, but how could it not have had such a big impact on this shijie, right?

The Germans in front of them should not be lying, although the acquisition of IBM's personal computer business is not a big news now, but when you go back and look for information, you can always distinguish the truth from the fake, not to mention, for ordinary people, this news is really nothing to brag about.

It's no surprise that IBM, which is focused on mainframe businesses and, like the recently dismantled Bell Telephone Company, is mired in antitrust lawsuits, has sold off some of its business units to take the pressure off public opinion.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "Okay, then, Mr. Schroeder, I want to know the purpose of your investment." ”

"Make money," Schroeder smiled, "there's no doubt about it." Then, he patiently explained to Lu Zheng: "In this way, our president has deep confidence in the development prospects of personal computers, and also has absolute confidence in the market in Chinese mainland, believing that in the future of Yujian, Chinese mainland will become the world's largest consumer market, of course, including electronic products." ”

"Our investment this time, in the words of you Chinese, is to be the first to eat crabs, and we also hope that your government can give us a reward for our brave attempts, and can repay us with the most preferential policies."

"Wushan, convenient transportation, surrounded by China's most haode university, and will not be as bloated as Beijing and Tianjin, is the best area for the development of high-tech jishu, we set up a factory here, and hope that your municipal government can plan a high-tech jishu development zone, we hope that the policy of this high-tech jishu development zone is used to attract electronic chips, integrated circuits and other electronic enterprises to join and various venture capital investment, in the future, to form a thriving industrial zone."

"China's Silicon Valley?" Lu Zheng was stunned.

Schneider laughed, "Mr. Lu also knows. ”

Lu Zheng nodded silently, the Germans are honest and straightforward, yes, people are here to make money, invest huge amounts of money, and the return they need is the policy of giving special care.

If this thing really happens, the prospects of the industrial zone are also extremely optimistic, starting early, and there is a huge injection of foreign capital, and taking advantage of the current honeymoon period between China and the West, some non-sensitive jishu and even sensitive jishu can be introduced with the help of German hands, compared with Zhongguancun later, the development prospects are much brighter.

However, if this continues, China's largest high-tech industrial zone may become dominated by German companies in the future, which may not be a hidden danger to national security in the future.

Schneider picked up a thick document at this time and said: "This is our initial investment idea and needs your help, I hope you can seriously consider it, and we will start formal negotiations as soon as possible." ”

Obviously, the other side came prepared.

After leaving the reception room and saying goodbye to Schneider and others, Yang Baimao wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "I'm going to report to Secretary Duan." ”

As for what Lu Zheng and Schneider talked about, he had no time to inquire, such a huge investment, especially Gao Jishu Capital, was afraid that it would soon alarm the central level, and he must hurry up to report to the Xiangshang-level leaders.

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, shook hands with him and said goodbye.

……

At the end of work that afternoon, Lu Zheng suddenly drove to the city bureau, picked up Wei Xiangxiu in the car, and then ran away with a smoke.

"You, why are you like this?" In the car, Wei Xiangxiu's face was slightly red, and some colleagues might have seen it. But Lu Zheng's car was waiting not far from the gate of the city bureau compound, and if he didn't get on the car quickly, it would be even more eye-catching.

"What's wrong? Can't your friends take you? Thoughts are too dirty, right? "Lu Zheng is very reasonable.

Wei Xiangxiu was stunned, yes, what's the big deal about my friend, myself, weishenme is so weak-hearted?

"Then you say, what are you going to do? It's okay to eat, it's not okay to watch movies, I'm on duty tonight. Wei Xiangxiu said eloquently.

"Watching a movie? Don't worry, I won't watch it with you in the future, there are too many troubles. Lu Zheng said casually.

Wei Xiangxiu glared at him without squeaking.

"I'll show you something." Lu Zheng said simply.

Wei Xiangxiu didn't ask any more, got off the car downstairs at Lu Zheng, and followed Lu Zheng upstairs.
