In mid-May '91, a container truck drove through the Luohu Port in Shenzhen from HK and entered the mainland without any customs inspection.

Inside the car are more than two dozen simply encapsulated wooden boxes. Each wooden box weighs two or three hundred kilograms, which is extremely bulky. The border inspectors did not meddle in the goods on the car at all, and a company of armed police came to move them in person.

In the storage yard near the port, all the wooden boxes were opened one by one, and special technicians came to count them.

The box is full of shiny high-end machine tools. and hundreds of thousands of chips that are stacked haphazardly.

Thousands of knives are registered, all numbered. As for the chip, it is too miscellaneous, and it is necessary to distinguish the model and select it before it is convenient for transportation and subsequent use.

"How did it happen like this?"

Zhou Qingfeng drove over in person, and Xiao Jinlang followed him to ask. The technicians who came to inspect the goods frowned. The knives are easy to say, but the cleaning of the chips is really troublesome.

"Well...... you should treat them as waste. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get my hands on it. Zhou Qingfeng spoke half-truthfully, "Isn't that the waste product?" ”

Xiao Jinlang made up his own brain, "You got the chips embargoed abroad in the name of scrap?" This is a way to easily fool regulators. ”

Chips are also scrapped.

In the later generations of Shenzhen Huaqiangbei, chips have the difference between black and white. The white film is completely tested, and the regular procedures are factory, and the quality is guaranteed.

Black chips are the 'scrap' in the test packaging process. However, some scrap products can also be used, after all, wafer dicing and packaging will allow a certain scrap rate.

If the scrap rate can be reduced without reporting, then the corresponding goods can be sold privately for money.

Because of the low price and large profits of black films, its gray industry chain has even given birth to practitioners for secondary testing. It's to pick out the black film as much as possible that can be used.

There are many small electronics factories in Dongguan that specialize in low-cost black films. Among them, memory chips have the best sales, and many people make a fortune from this.

This is off-topic.

Zhou Qingfeng used a similar excuse to fool Xiao Jinlang over.

Hundreds of thousands of chips cannot be selected by a small number of technicians. Everyone can only ask their superiors for instructions and choose another place to work.

Zhou Qingfeng completed the first batch of deliveries, and also followed Xiao Jinlang to Guangzhou and returned to Tianyang by plane.

This time back to Tianyang, the city's heads and brains came to greet with smiling faces, and held a banquet to express gratitude to President Zhou of 'Shengguang Machinery' who actively invested in Tianyang.

Before the start of the banquet, there was a small press conference, at which Zhou Qingfeng and the city signed an agreement of intent.

The main ones are the second phase of the liquidation and rectification of state-owned non-performing assets, as well as the joint-stock reform of a number of state-owned enterprises in the city, the 51 percent shareholding of 'Shengguang' in foreign exchange, and the development of Tianyang's agricultural resources.

At the end of several agreements, there is an approximate investment amount, which adds up to a total of HK$300 million. 'Holy Light' is a typical example of a small and large one, swallowing a large amount of state-owned assets.

Although it was only an intentional contract, seeing that Zhou Qingfeng really signed, the heads and minds present and the smiling faces of the bank personnel were about to bloom.

It was unthinkable that a small Tianyang could get such a large amount of foreign exchange in the past. Real money falling into the pocket is a real political achievement, and the leaders present can't kiss Zhou Qingfeng a few times.

But Zhou Qingfeng was not at the banquet, he claimed that he was tired and tired, and left early, but he pulled Xiao Jinlang to ask: "What about the machine tool I want?" ”

Originally, China wanted a CNC machining center with nine axes and five linkages. However, if this is not directly imported as a whole machine, it is very difficult to assemble the subsystem.

Eventually, the ministry realized that it was better to get more tools and components that could immediately and dramatically improve the performance of existing machining capabilities.

After all, you have to eat it bite by bite.

In return, Zhou Qingfeng wants to produce 1,000 three-axis and two-linkage CNC machine tools in China. Even if he provides key components, he can only assemble them in China.

Regarding Zhou Qingfeng's eagerness, Xiao Jinlang smiled bitterly: "Tianyang Machinery Factory has been restructured, and fifty-one percent of the shares will be sold to you."

This factory originally had some machining capacity, and after discussion by several ministries and commissions, it was decided that several domestic machine tool factories would support a group of technicians and scientific research personnel, so that this factory could have machine tool assembly capacity. ”

Oh ......, the wool is out of the sheep!

Let me spend money to buy a factory and come back to produce the machine I want.

The people in the ministry are really calculating.

Zhou Qingfeng won a controlling stake in Tianyang Machinery Factory and will definitely make further investments. The city and even the ministry also took advantage of the situation to have a new machine tool factory.

But Tianyang Machinery Factory was originally only supporting other large factories in the province. The equipment in the factory is outdated, the technology is backward, the products are not competitive at all, and even the workers are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.

If Tianyang Machinery Factory is transformed into a machine tool processing factory, Zhou Qingfeng is indeed sure that he will keep all the benefits in his hometown. But after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, you can't do this." ”

"Why?" Xiao Jinlang was very strange, he felt that the ministry was actually showing favor to Zhou Qingfeng, "This is also good for Tianyang." ”

"Tianyang's industrial base is too poor, really too poor." Zhou Qingfeng still shook his head. Only those who are really engaged in industry will understand the importance of the industrial chain.

'Holy Light Machinery' is tired and tired to build a motorized tricycle, and it takes half a year to achieve something. On the last machine tool factory, I don't know if there will be output in the year of the monkey.

Forcibly launching a project in a place where there is no industrial chain will result in half the effort. Now time is money, Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and denied Xiao Jinlang's idea.

"Can't you find a ready-made machine tool factory to produce for me?"

"Absolutely. You use foreign exchange to purchase in China, in fact, there are several machine tool factories that want to grab your assembly order. It's because there are many people who rob it, and the ministry is a little difficult to make decisions. ”

"Then let's open the tender."

What......?

Zhou Qingfeng explained: "I've thought about it for a long time, it's really been a long time. There are so many types of industry, what should 'Holy Light' do? And what can be done?

The group of veteran comrades you helped me convene wrote me a lot of materials, and I have been reading them again and again recently, and there are many inspirations. The more I looked, the more I realized that my previous thinking was too narrow.

The domestic market is huge, and this is a treasure. There are many domestic enterprises, which is also a treasure.

The advantage of 'Holy Light' is that there is no shortage of capital and technology, so I should do integration from a higher perspective, rather than re-investing and setting up a new stove. ”

Xiao Jinlang listened thoughtfully, he seemed to feel some of Zhou Qingfeng's veins, so he asked rhetorically: "You ......, and you want to throw money again?" ”

Eh......

Lao Xiao, how can you say that?

What does it mean to throw money? I call this a long-term investment.

Make the cake bigger and benefit more people. After all, in a large market with a population of more than one billion, there will definitely be gains if you work hard.

"Find a few willing machine tool factories to bid. I also underwrote the core components, and the machine tool factory was responsible for the assembly. As long as the finished product is of good quality, not to mention 1,000 units, there are orders for 10,000 units. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's words made Xiao Jinlang's scalp tingle. The latter saw a highly feasible path.

According to the original history, the domestic manufacturing industry has developed along a similar path. This is true for the home appliance industry, the communication industry, the automotive industry, and even the semiconductor industry is following this path.

In the 90s, color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines, the core picture tubes, compressors, and even motors were imported from abroad.

The public always laughs at the fact that the country will only make a shell, but it is true that it only makes a shell at the beginning.

Sometimes you can't even make a shell.

Now the core components that are to be purchased abroad by spending foreign exchange are provided by Zhou Qingfeng, and the sales are also contracted by him, which is good for the company to produce desperately.

When you make money, you will slowly engage in import substitution, gradually increase the localization rate, and eat from low-end to high-end one bite at a time.

It's been proven successful, so why not learn it?
