Chapter 154: Hon Hai Precision
Originally, Jester thought that it would not be easy to meet Guo someone now, but after Yoichi Guò contacted the other party in his own relationship, the other party heard what Jester meant, and immediately said that he could come to Japan to meet in person the next day.
Now Hon Hai Electronics has just transformed into an electronics manufacturing enterprise for a few years, with the PC market doing booming, but it is not a big enterprise.
However, Guo is a very discerning person, and in order to be able to get a large number of orders, he is a very good person, Jester has heard a lot about him, but from these things can also see that he is a person.
Before meeting someone Guo, in addition to recalling a meeting he had with him before because of the white wolf, Jester was also recalling some of the experiences he knew about the other party, but because the meeting was too short last time, they knew very little about each other, and the specific understanding of Guo was still analyzed from the information in his memory.
Jester is carefully analyzing the advantages of Guo someone, this is originally a potential partner of his work, the profit of processing and production is not high, and there are too many trivial things, coupled with the huge investment, the return is not much, so that Jester is definitely unwilling, the reason why he wants to establish that processing center in the mainland is just because this is the best way at present.
Originally, Jester planned to wait for Guo to start investing in the mainland, so that he could cooperate with him and use the mainland's manufacturing center as an asset to buy shares, and then he only needed to eat the dividends of the shares with peace of mind, and as far as Guo someone who wants to expand production capacity at present, he will not refuse this proposal.
Guo is not from a rich and noble family, he was born poor, he went to college, and he couldn't even afford the tuition fees for a while, so he could only work while completing his studies, of course, from the photos, Guo was not a handsome guy when he was young, but he married the school flower of Taipei Medical College at that time, and the daughter of the wealthy lady as his wife, and in the poor situation that the two of them could only use rice soup as milk for their children because they had no money, they could still not abandon Guo someone, which shows that Guo is very talented and charismatic.
In fact, Hon Hai's full name is Hon Hai Precision Instrument Co., Ltd., which used to manufacture plastic products, similar to the knobs of televisions, but in the past few years, Guo has seen the potential business opportunities in the personal computer industry, and invested all his wealth to set up a computer assembly company.
And last year, Guo's trip to the United States was also widely circulated in the American business community, which made many American businessmen amazed, and even Jester, who doesn't pay much attention to this news, knows a little bit about it, and many people in the Chinese circle have commented that Guo is a person with great ability, great perseverance, and great wisdom, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things.
Just last year, in order to get business for his newly established computer foundry company, Guo went to the United States alone, because he knew that if he wanted to eat from the acre of personal computer assembly, he had to get enough orders from those international manufacturers.
IBM was not Guo Taiming's target in the first place, because behemoths like Big Blue, which has hundreds of thousands of employees and thousands of manufacturing factories, don't bother to OEM at all, and his target is those manufacturers who make IBM's PC-compatible machines, such as Comber.
In order to get orders from these computer companies all over the United States, he drove his own car, stayed in a motel for $12 a day, and ran to 32 of the 52 states in the United States.
These have all happened, and there are many deeds about Guo Taiming that have not happened, such as the most widely circulated is that he once took the initiative to be Dell's driver in order to chat with Dell for a few more minutes when he was investing in the mainland.
Therefore, Jester knows that the person he is going to meet is a mature and forbearing, talented person, whether it is knowledge, mind, ability, in any aspect it is difficult to compare with this kind of person who has done a huge net worth from the bottom with a knife and a shot, so he must know himself and his opponent in order to survive a hundred battles.
This meeting was arranged by Jester, in a hotel box, the scheduled time was eleven o'clock at noon, as the host, it must be necessary to arrive in advance, Jester arrived in advance before half past ten, but to Jester's surprise, he had only arrived for ten minutes, and Guo Taiming drove over.
From Guo Taiming's very ordinary car, it is difficult to see that he is a successful entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions, and he is also wearing ordinary clothes, his clothes are not big brands, but they are very clean, his thirty-five-year-old face is still quite young, but he is not very energetic, Jester can still see the fatigue of the other party from the red and swollen eyes of the other party.
As soon as they met, Guo Taiming noticed the strange color in Jester's eyes, he smiled, and said indifferently: "There was something wrong in the United States, I just rushed back last night, and I went to work in the company until three o'clock, and I caught this plane in the morning - no, I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane." ”
"Then sit inside."
Jester was also silent after listening, he knew that the other party was a workaholic, but he didn't expect it to be a workaholic to this point, even if there was something to talk about tomorrow, he had to work overtime at night, thinking about himself, was it really not a casual success?
There were only two people in the box, Jester and Guo Taiming, and neither of them took the lead in speaking after they took their seats, and they each took a sip of tea first.
In the end, it was Guo Taiming who took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Mr. Li, I know your intentions for coming to me, and my ability to come here today is enough to show my sincerity - in fact, if you had wanted to talk to me before this month, I would probably have declined." Putting down the teacup, Guo Taiming said lightly.
After listening, Jester somewhat understood what the other party meant, and he asked quietly, "Is it the white wolf's statement?" ”
Guo Taiming didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, he just smiled and said: "Now that the second son of Jiang has been ordered to be grounded at home by Mr. Jiang, and now that public opinion is boiling, especially the pressure from the United States, Mr. Jiang is almost unable to stay up......" Saying that, Guo Taiming's eyes suddenly lit up because he hadn't slept all night, and he said a little intentionally or unintentionally, "The day of lifting martial law is not far away." ”
"Huh." Jester smiled, and he didn't mean to point out, "Isn't it possible to prevent Mr. Guo from investing in the mainland if martial law is not lifted?" I heard that some time ago, Mr. Guo asked people to go to Bao'an from Hong Kong under a false identity. ”
Hearing Jester's words, Guo Taiming's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect Jester to be so well-informed, indeed, he also saw the huge and incredible business opportunities brought about by the mainland's reform, needless to say, but the cheap almost negligible labor cost is the biggest temptation for the kind of manpower-intensive enterprise he is engaged in, not to mention the welfare policy that is almost equivalent to direct delivery.
However, because of his special status, it was impossible for him to go to the mainland to investigate, so he just asked the person in charge of a Hong Kong company to go to Shekou and Shenzhen, which were under construction, to have a look, and after listening to the report of the subordinate, he also looked forward to investing and building factories in the mainland.
The lifting of martial law in Taiwan this time, according to the channels he can access, is basically a certainty, so he also has the idea of personally going to the mainland to inspect it this year.
Jester knew that these news about Guo Taiming was secret, naturally he had read the other party's biography, and he also knew that after Guo Taiming personally went to the mainland to inspect this year, he decided to invest in the mainland without even hesitation, and in 86 years, he established his first manufacturing plant in Bao'an, that is, Shenzhen.
And Guo Taiming only understood a little at this time, it seems that Jester's meeting with him this time is not just as simple as talking about an OEM contract, I am afraid that there will be more in-depth cooperation, and he thought of the large-scale manufacturing and R&D integrated production center covering an area of tens of thousands of acres that Jester is now investing in Shanghai, and he also has some understanding in his heart.
