Chapter 225: Ling Shizhe's Troubles and Confidence

Li Zhen left after five days in Canada, taking with him the sales rights of Ambrera Biopharma in Taiwan/Gulf and Southeast Asia.yankuai

Ling Shizhe did not ask Li Zhen to help sell several drugs produced by Maple Leaf in the Asia-Pacific region, but Li Zhen took the initiative to propose it. He asked Qin Junren, although the 8 kinds of drugs produced by Maple Leaf Company are not sold well in the European and American markets, the efficacy is still good, although the pharmaceutical factories in Taiwan/Bay and Southeast Asia also have the same type of products, but their therapeutic effect is far better than that of many Maple Leaf companies to produce these drugs, plus its price is relatively low, Taiwan/Bay and Southeast Asia middle-income families can still afford it, as long as they get the health and medicine license of the Taiwan authorities, they still have to earn, as for how much can they earn? It depends on Li Zhen's marketing methods.

In this way, Li Zhen became the general agent of Ambrera Biopharmaceutical Company in Taiwan/Gulf and Southeast Asia. These drugs are not high-grade drugs, let alone patents, and can be produced in many developing countries, so Ling Shizhe gave Li Zhen a generous agency price, and at the same time he also hoped that Li Zhen could become a shareholder in the pharmaceutical company, but Li Zhen refused.

Li Zhen thinks that although this pharmaceutical company bears the name of Ambrera, it is the industry of her sister Li Li and Li Qian, since it is her sister's industry, how can I, as an elder brother, want my sister's industry? Besides, he also inherited his father's career, so why fight with his sister anymore.

Ling Shizhe not only thought that Li Zhen would not be able to deal with the Taiwan authorities, he was a local snake with a wide network of contacts, and it was not very difficult to get a pharmaceutical marketing license from the Taiwan authorities, but before leaving, Li Zhen told Ling Shizhe about another matter, "The Taiwan authorities have set up a semi-official scientific research institute -- the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taipei's Hsinchu Park this year. It is a research institute specializing in semiconductor technology. The person in charge of the organization is Comrade Jianfeng's confidant Sun Yunxuan. It seems that the authorities are going to carry out economic reforms. ”

Taiwan/Bay's semiconductor industry has finally started, this is Ling Shizhe's first reaction after hearing the news brought by Li Zhen, and when it comes to Taiwan/Bay's semiconductors, one person cannot fail to mention, that is, Sun Yunxuan, the executive president of Taiwan/Bay.

As early as the early 70s, when Sun Yunxuan was Taiwan's Minister of Economic Affairs, he suggested to Lao Chiang the implementation of the "Ten Construction Plans" for industrial transformation, which was strongly supported by Comrade Jianfeng, that is, Chiang Ching-kuo, but after this plan was handed in, some people falsely accused Sun Yunxuan. Yankuai said that the "Ten Economic Construction Plans" were yes, so Lao Chiang denied this plan, and Sun Yunxuan was also affected by this, and had to resign from the post of Taiwan's economic minister.

After Chiang Ching-kuo came to power. Sun Yunxuan was re-instated, and he was appointed as Taiwan's premier, and the "Ten Economic Construction Plans" were implemented throughout Taiwan, thus starting the transformation of Taiwan's economy, and semiconductors are the core of the entire economic plan.

Sun Yunxuan is the father of semiconductors in Taiwan/Bay. Because he single-handedly laid the foundation for Taiwan's semiconductor industry to play a pivotal role in the world.

In the mid-seventies, it was he who overrode the opposition and learned from the fact that South Korea had established a semi-official scientific research institute in Taiwan, the Industrial Technology Research Institute.

ITRI is the Whampoa Military Academy of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which has incubated countless technical and entrepreneurial talents. Relying on the rise of the semiconductor industry, Taiwan also occupies an important position in the future computer industry. For example, TSMC's Zhang Zhongmou accepted Sun Yunxuan's invitation and returned to Taiwan from the United States to serve as the president of ITRI, and later gathered a group of technicians to found TSMC, changing the pattern of the entire semiconductor industry with a new foundry model.

"Brother-in-law, you have always refused to invest in Taiwan because of the authorities' regulations. Foreign investors investing in Taiwan to build factories must have a joint venture with the government, and the government must also have a controlling stake. The main market for your semiconductor chips is Europe and the United States, not in Taiwan/Bay, so you will suffer a lot if you build a joint venture factory with the authorities. But now I've heard that this rule will soon be changed to allow foreign companies to build factories in Yankuai. Brother-in-law, do you plan to build a factory in Taiwan by then? ”

Ling Shizhe lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The authorities asked you to bring me a message, right?" ”

"Before I came, Sun Yunxuan, the premier, came to me," Li Zhen admitted without denying it, "He asked me to bring you a message." Comrade Jianfeng is actively promoting the construction of the new economy throughout Taiwan, and the most important thing is to revise the problem that foreign businessmen cannot build factories in Yankuai. He asked me to tell you that the Legislative Yuan, the Executive Yuan, the State Council, and other relevant institutions will soon introduce new economic policies and regulations. I hope that for the sake of your fellow comrades in the party and the state, you will vigorously support Comrade Jianfeng's economic reform work. ”

When Li Zhen was young, he was a member of the Kuomintang Youth Iron-blooded Salvation Association, so he always called Chiang Ching-kuo by Comrade Jianfeng. Jianfeng is the character of Chiang Ching-kuo. And Chiang Ching-kuo was the person in charge of the Youth Iron and Blood Salvation Association.

"You tell Sun Yunxuan that I am also a member of the party, and I will strive to unite around the second generation of party and state leaders with Comrade Jianfeng as the core to build a new China of the Three People's Principles." Ling Shizhe's official words and clichΓ©s came as soon as he opened his mouth. But seeing Li Zhen looking at him with a painful face, he continued: "Although I am a party member, I am also a businessman, if the authorities can really give us foreign businessmen preferential treatment, I am also willing to come to Taiwan to build factories and contribute to the economic development of the party-state." ”

Li Zhen glanced at Ling Shizhe deeply and said, "Okay, I'll bring the words." "He knows his brother-in-law too well, and his words are better than anyone else's, but he is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and if he does not give enough benefits or there is no fundamental change in the policy of the authorities, he will not easily invest in Taiwan/Bay to build factories. However, it is already commendable to say this sentence in Ling Shizhe's current capacity, and Li Zhen can't ask too much of him.

Since the death of Lao Jiang, between the old and the new in Taiwan, Li Zhen is very appreciated by Xiao Jiang because he bet on the right treasure, and it is not an exaggeration to call for wind and rain in the Taiwanese business community, and his identity is no longer as good as before, so this time Sun Yunxuan came to find Li Zhen, and he agreed to it, but now it seems that Li Zhen still thinks about things too simply. Ling Shizhe is a typical Western businessman's style, paying attention to business to business, and human favor to human favor; I won't easily agree to invest because of a word from someone with a good relationship, and you must come up with something real.

Seeing Li Zhen's look of disbelief, Ling Shizhe said seriously: "I'm not perfunctory to you, I mean seriously, in fact, I have always been concerned about the economic policy of the authorities, and I have always believed that if Taiwan's economy wants to achieve real take-off, the current economic policy must be changed." ”

In the early days of their entry into Taiwan, the Taiwan authorities did not take Taiwan seriously at all, but only used Taiwan and Bay as a temporary base for counterattacking the mainland. Its status was not as important as Kinmen, Falklands and Yijiangshan Island at that time, and it was only later that when he saw that there was no hope of counterattacking the mainland, he began to sink his heart to build Taiwan/Bay, hoping to be like Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty more than 600 years ago. Conquer the world with a corner of the world.

It is precisely because of this that when Taiwan/Gulf formulated its economic development policy at that time, it revolved around the core of counterattacking the mainland, believing that it would go back sooner or later, so Taiwan's economic development has always lacked long-term and coherent.

And at the same time. At that time, Taiwan's industry was very weak, and if it was fully opened up to the outside world like Hong Kong and allowed foreign businessmen to enter without hindrance, it would inevitably deal a fatal blow to Taiwan's already very fragile economy, industry, and commerce.

At that time, this policy was of great positive significance to the industrial and commercial development of Taiwan/the Gulf.

With the development of the times, as well as the development and growth of Taiwan/Bay industry and commerce. The policies of the Taiwan authorities have become more and more detrimental to the economic development of Taiwan/the Gulf, and when formulating economic policies, they were very unrealistic, thus causing many social problems. For example, the underworld. As early as the early 60s, some people with lofty ideals proposed economic reform to the authorities, but they were all rejected by Lao Chiang under the pretext of counterattacking the mainland.

Everyone knows that the so-called counterattack on the continent is Lao Jiang's fantasy from beginning to end, and it is an impossible sea and air mansion to realize, this time Xiao Jiang is determined to reform, and Ling Shizhe has no reason to disagree.

Compared to Hong Kong. The mainland is still engaged in a campaign, and it will have to wait several years before reform and opening up, and even if it is developed, it will be due to conservative reasons. There will also be more than 10 years of repetition, and it is not until 92 years after Deng/Xiao/Ping's southern tour speech that the basic national policy centered on economic development will be truly determined. In addition, semiconductors are prohibited projects in Batumi, so no matter what, Ling Shizhe is unwilling to invest in the construction of semiconductor factories on the mainland.

What about Hong Kong? It's too small, and it's full of mountains, and there's no place for you to play it.

Canada is big enough, but the labor cost is too high, and those workers are still on strike for three days, and industrial transfer is the future development trend, so Taiwan/Bay is the most ideal place for future investment.

And the current Taiwan already has a very good foundation. More importantly, as the younger brother of the United States, Taiwan's technology exports will not be subject to too many restrictions. These undoubtedly create excellent conditions for Taiwan's semiconductor industry to flourish in the future.

Historically, after the eighties. With the integration of the global economy, the manufacturing industry has begun to move rapidly to Asia, especially East Asia. There are hard-working industrial workers, intelligent technical research and development personnel, and lower wages than in Europe and the United States. As well as fewer strikes, Taiwan's semiconductor industry has developed rapidly.

It is precisely because of this great readjustment of the global division of labor that Taiwan and the Bay have rapidly upgraded from labor-intensive industries in the sixties and seventies to technology-intensive industries.

As a reborn, Ling Shizhe can naturally foresee the changes in this situation in advance, and now that the upgrading of Taiwan's industry has just begun, if he can intervene as soon as possible, he can lay a solid foundation. In Ling's future roadmap, the United States is one of the most important external markets and R&D centers for the Ambrera Group, because it has the world's largest consumer market and the most cutting-edge technology. Asia is positioned by Ling Shizhe as a production base and another R&D center.

Among them, Japan and South Korea are very difficult for him to get enough influence, and they can only be used as supplements, the two sides of the strait and the three places are Ling Shizhe's real foothold, and the mainland is his largest chip market in the future.

However, in dealing with the mainland, Ling Shizhe is facing another big problem, that is, the China Aircraft Industry Corporation, which was established by Ling Shizhe on the orders of Lao Chiang, and undertakes the major strategic task of manufacturing military aircraft for Taiwan/Gulf; at the same time, the research and development of military aircraft engines has also entered a substantive stage, and this will inevitably cast a shadow on both sides in future exchanges with the mainland, which is very unfavorable to Ling Shizhe's future development on the mainland.

What are the consequences of selling military aircraft to Taiwan/Gulf, just look at the French Dassault company in the previous life, and in the early 80s, French companies began to invest in the mainland and build joint ventures with the local government. However, as soon as the French government sold the Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Taiwan/Gulf, all the enterprises and factories invested by French companies on the mainland were confiscated by the Chinese government. It can be seen that the military plane is a question that makes the mainland very sensitive.

It is not possible to sell military aircraft to Taiwan. First of all, Ling Shizhe is a high-ranking general of the Kuomintang, if you build a military plane, unless the Taiwan authorities don't want it, you have no reason not to sell it, otherwise they will regard you as a traitor, how will the authorities treat traitors? The future Jiangnan case and the murder of General Yu Chengwan a few years ago are lessons for you.

The assassination mission was carried out by the Intelligence Bureau of Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, which was formerly a feared military commander.

Second, why did Lao Jiang ask you Ling Shizhe to take over the localization of F-4 fighters in the first place, instead of handing over this work to others? He also promoted you Ling Shizhe to the general of the party-state, and his military rank is higher than that of his father Ling Zhigao? In addition to the fact that the Taiwan military is not optimistic about the F-4, does Lao Chiang not have a deeper purpose? The rank of general of the Kuomintang is so good, although Ling Shizhe was casually asking for it by beating rabbits, but since Lao Jiang gave it to you, you Ling Shizhe have to be under their control. If you don't obey discipline, you will be anxious every minute, and you must know that the Taiwan authorities still have a lot of power in the United States.

Third, since you have already decided to invest in and build factories in Taiwan in the future, will the Taiwan authorities buy your planes or ask you to build military planes and give you the cost of research and development. Do you still want your factory?

Therefore, the China Aircraft Industry Corporation is a stalk across the strait, and its relationship with Taiwan and the Gulf is like the relationship between Chengfei, Shenfei, and Xifei and the mainland.

It is foreseeable that the complicated political entanglements between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions in the future will bring him great trouble. But thinking about it the other way, it is precisely this intricate political entanglement that also gives him enough room to maneuver.

With the opening of the democratization of Taiwan/the Gulf, this force will inevitably rise to the top, and it is impossible for the mainland to stand idly by.

Moreover, since the 80s, both the mainland and Taiwan have been tending to ease up their dialogues. Economic exchanges began to increase. Even in the 90s, when the Taiwan-Strait crisis was at its most intense, economic and trade exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan. It's still going unabated. It is precisely because he knows this general trend that Ling Shizhe has enough confidence to sell military aircraft to Taiwan.

You must know that in the future, except for the Yankees, no country will dare to sell military aircraft to Taiwan, and the lessons of France are not enough? In this way, Ling Shizhe's opportunity to monopolize Taiwan's military aircraft market, just like Dassault based on a French truth, no one will buy it for you except me, or give money obediently, for the sake of the same party Yankuai people, I will give you a nine-percent discount, do you want a copycat version of the Su-35? $300 million per plane! Grandees? Is there a cheap, copycat French Rafale or not? $200 million a plane, and a copycat Typhoon is also $200 million, and a copycat Swedish Gripen, $140 million a plane.

Anyway, your Taiwan authorities are willing to spend a sky-high price of 600 million US dollars for a broken ship, I am a conscience price, I love to buy it or not, don't buy it!

After Li Zhen returned, Ling Shizhe went to the former Bombardier Industrial City in Montreal, which has now been renamed Ambrera Industrial City.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the industrial city, he saw Navalli's car drive out of it. Navali got out of his car, got into Ling Shizhe's car, and the first thing he said was: "Boss, the prototype of the inverted three-wheeled motorcycle has come out, I bet it will definitely make the world crazy!"
