Chapter 283: Signing a contract for the supply of computer spare parts
Pentium Computer Company and Compaq Company were invited to Zhongnanhai Huairentang, which was the first time after the founding of the People's Republic of China that a foreign company was invited to Huairentang for business cooperation.
Lin Qiangsheng also received an invitation, and the behind-the-scenes commander walked into Huairentang with Li Jing, Wang Huichang, and Rod Kenyon. When he walked into the venue, he saw Qi Dada standing in the greeting team with a smile on his face, and Lin Qiangsheng immediately thought of the award ceremony he had seen on the news in his previous life. It was in such a solemn and sacred place that the leaders of the country personally awarded them medals.
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head, came back to his senses, walked closer, looked at the person in front of him, shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Qi Da, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still smiling so sincerely!" ”
"Comrade Kobayashi, welcome you, you have asked two American computer companies to put spare parts manufacturing in China, and this will play a great role in domestic electronic technology!" Qi Da held Lin Qiangsheng's hand and said with a smile.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said: "Putting the processing in China is the first entry I see in the domestic development, and I am also seizing the opportunity!" ”
Qi Da was stunned, thinking that Lin Qiangsheng was optimistic about the domestic economy in the next few years, so he stood beside him.
Lin Qiangsheng and Li Jing and others walked on the red carpet on the rostrum of Huairentang together, and met with Minister Qian Min of the Fourth Machinery Department, the two sides held talks in a friendly atmosphere and then formally signed a table case, the representatives of the two companies Wang Huichang and Roder Kenyon signed the book in Chinese and English respectively, and the purchase contract for computer spare parts came into effect!
This contract involves more than 10 domestic enterprises, providing more than 100 kinds of electronic components and plastic metal shells and other accessories to foreign parties.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qiangsheng was also a little excited, and it took a lot of effort to win OEM orders from world-famous companies in China in his previous life. Local governments give policies to land and even provide interest-free loans to foreign businessmen, and foreign businessmen will consider handing over OEM orders to a certain place in China for production after various preferential policies, and this is still in the case of many local governments in China, how can it be as easy as now. Johnson Lin directly created companies like Compaq. Let them develop in the direction of history and increase capital investment, so that foreign orders can be easily brought back to the country. Of course, this seems to be a great benefit to the country, but you must know that the labor cost in China at this time is negligible compared with Japan, South Korea and Wanwan! Anyway, these spare parts are either for South Korea or Wanwan, it is better to take them back to China directly to be cost-effective!
The signing ceremony was followed by a celebration banquet according to the usual practice, and although Minister Qian was old, today was a particularly happy day, and he took the initiative to toast to foreign businessmen.
Qian Min walked to Lin Qiangsheng's side and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiaolin, I have heard of you a long time ago, you participated in the construction of two automobile companies in Bincheng. The two sedans not only sold well in China, but also exported abroad! You are now developing into the electronics industry, and the equipment of Bincheng Dongxing Semiconductor Company can be very advanced in line with international standards, and I am looking forward to you coming up with better products! ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, in addition to being able to draw two car appearances, I don't know anything about electronic technology, and I still have to rely on domestic technicians for research in this area!" There is no shortage of domestic research talents, but they are limited by factors such as limited domestic technical strength, as long as they are given a broader stage. I believe that Chinese will not be worse than foreigners! ”
Qian Min frowned, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Young man, do you mean that the domestic research environment is poor?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said: "I didn't say that, the domestic technical foundation is still very strong!" ”
"The lad got to the point!" Qian Min smiled and then asked: "The laboratory you have established in Bincheng is very advanced, can you let the state also participate, how about our Fourth Machine Department send some technicians to your laboratory to do a few experiments?" ”
Qian Min stared at Lin Qiangsheng with a wine glass, Lin Lanying and other experts and scientists of the older generation are all people of the country, they took risks to return to China for the development of the motherland when they were young, although some of them suffered some misfortunes along the way, but they could not erase their patriotic spirit. What equipment in Lin Qiangsheng's factory and laboratory is advanced, Lin Lanying and others have made a report to the Semiconductor Research Institute and the Fourth Machinery Department. Lin Qiangsheng wants to do something in China, as long as the upper echelons are serious, they can't hide it at all.
He smiled when he thought of this, and he didn't mean to blame Lin Lanying and other old-timers. smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Minister Qian, you said that you respect me, but you haven't touched the glass yet!" ”
"Oh, I forgot to forget, I forgot all the wine when I patronized and talked to you. Well, I'll give you a drink! Qian Min looked at the wine glass in his hand and said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile.
Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly stopped: "How can you respect me, I should respect you!" With that, he took the lead in raising his glass and drinking it clean.
The glass was actually filled with white wine or something, and Lin Qiangsheng felt that this wine was soft and mellow in his stomach. The taste is not spicy or strong, especially sweet and refreshing!
Qian Min continued to look at him after drinking a glass, and if he didn't get an answer from Lin Qiangsheng today, Minister Qian was unwilling.
Lin Qiangsheng pondered for a while and asked, "Is there any special project in China?" ”
Qian Min looked at Lin Qiangsheng and hesitated for a while and said, "Do you know the GPS satellite positioning plan of the United States?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "I know, this plan was originally a project of the US military, and now many civilian people and groups hope to make this plan civilian. ”
Qian Min nodded, and said without worry: "The satellites launched by the GPS program of the United States cover the whole world. China must also catch up with its development in this regard and must not lag behind. The Ministry of Electronics Industry has undertaken a very heavy scientific research task, in addition to the research and development of super-large electronic computers, your laboratory is very advanced and has the world's leading scientific research conditions, so the country hopes that you can come up with some machines! ”
Lin Qiangsheng laughed when he heard this: "Minister Qian, do you know? A lot of my lab equipment is unique, what should I do if I give you some of it and want to use it? This is a no-go! I can promise you a lab for your research, right there I am! And I have to select reliable and excellent personnel to ensure that I can't leak anything in my laboratory, this is my bottom line! ”
Qian Min frowned vigorously, but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, deal!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Qian Min to agree.
"Don't worry, we made up our minds to borrow the lab from you from the beginning!" Qian Min smiled and patted Lin Qiangsheng's shoulder and said.
Lin Qiangsheng frowned, he didn't like such jokes, so in an instant, Lin Qiangsheng seized the opportunity to extort money from Qian Min.
"Minister Qian, my company is in urgent need of scientific research and technical personnel, is the Ministry of Electronics Industry helping in this regard?" Lin Qiangsheng asked Qian Min.
"Oh? How would you like to help? Our researchers are also national, how can they help you? Qian Min asked puzzled.
"I think we can set up a joint technology development research institute, the Ministry of Electronics Industry has a wealth of technical personnel, and I have funds and advanced laboratories, we can work together to develop technology, the reputation belongs to you, and the technical achievements are shared by both sides! Minister Qian, what do you think of my proposal? Lin Qiangsheng smiled and proposed to Minister Qian.
"Joint technology research and development?" Qian Min's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Qiangsheng's proposal, which was a good idea. In the past, China did not cooperate with foreign countries, and in the fifties and sixties with the Soviet Union, it jointly studied key state projects. Of course, at that time, the Soviets were teachers and Chinese were students, but now it is different, after so many years of development, many technical talents have been trained in China, and some research units under the Fourth Machine Department are underfunded and waiting to be fed!
"It's a good idea, we can start a research institute, and I'm going to report this up. Comrade Lin Qiangsheng, you have helped a lot! Qian Min put the wine glass on the table and shook hands with Lin Qiangsheng with a smile.
This time, on behalf of more than 10 domestic enterprises, the Fourth Machinery Department signed contracts with two computer companies in the United States, and these enterprises were overjoyed to receive orders. Many enterprises come for the purpose of earning foreign exchange, and there are foreign exchange earnings with foreign orders, and these more than 10 enterprises have received a lot of attention in the fourth machine department and even in China.
In this era when earning foreign exchange is more important than anything else, the export of electronic products has once again strengthened the country's confidence in the development of electronic technology! (To be continued......)
