35 Business Progress(2)

Although in the long run, the possibility of their own manufacturing base can be permanently located in Hong Kong is very small, but the investment is still to invest, taking advantage of the fact that Hong Kong still has a certain manufacturing base, they need to lay a good foundation, wait for the reform and opening up of the northern mainland, and then build their own manufacturing industry cluster there.

Besides, it is not a loss to expand on a large scale in Hong Kong now, as long as you need land, buy it now, and in a dozen years, you may earn more than the manufacturing industry itself.

However, Lei Shengli is in charge of the electronics company, and there is no need to tell him too much about real estate, so he continued: "You also know that I am going to use fans to open up a lot of markets, and the cost of this piece must be controlled. ”

"Motors? It is also possible, we also have motors in refrigerators and air conditioners, and if we can do them ourselves, we can indeed save a lot of costs. Lei Shengli thought for a while and said.

"Don't think about air conditioners and refrigerators yet, it's good to make electric fans first." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, he is ready to rely on the fan to open the market of the electrical industry, the cost must be pressed to the minimum, the plastic parts of their own market, the motor of their own market, these two basically account for 9% of the cost of the fan, what other buttons, small metal plug-ins, wires, etc.

Wait until you have a certain understanding of the motor industry, you can reproduce air conditioning and refrigerator motors, and even go out, sell motor products to other industries and even the automotive industry, in Hong Kong in the future, there is a Johnson Electric, mainly to produce various types of motors, is one of the only three mixed in Hong Kong to the 21st century 10 billion scale manufacturing giants.

"That's fine, as long as the scale is enough, the motor of the electric fan is not a high-tech thing." Lei Shengli thought for a while and said, "I'll just dig a team from Johnson Electric." ”

As long as you have money, anyone can do the industry that other people here in Hong Kong can do, the only problem is that you have to have enough orders, otherwise you will have to die if you can't sell it? The most important thing in low-end manufacturing is orders.

"Yes, but you don't take it seriously, I want to invest in motors, in addition to reducing costs for my own product supply, I also want to develop high-end motors, advanced industrial control motors and motors on the car market is my ultimate goal." Chen Zhiwen suddenly said with some seriousness.

It is said that the industrial machine is the foundation of the manufacturing industry, but one of the characteristics of the high precision of the industrial machine is actually from the motor, the motor is equivalent to the automobile engine of all CNC equipment, is one of the core technologies, in addition, the household appliance industry, the automotive industry, the power tool industry, the consumer electronics industry (tape, VCD, etc.) and so on need the motor, this is a very large market, but also want to make the manufacturing industry bigger, one of the most important areas to invest in research and development, this first step, It starts with the simplest electric fan motor.

"I've also heard that Johnson's motors have entered RB cars, but I don't know which one it is." Lei Shengli thought for a while and said, "Chen Sheng, why don't we consider acquiring Johnson Electric?" ”

"Don't think about it, I asked, but people don't agree." Chen Zhiwen shrugged helplessly and said, he also wants to buy if he can buy, Johnson Electric has been established for more than ten years, with a large scale, rich experience, if you can acquire, you can save yourself a few years, but people are not listed, they are completely self-proprietorship, the boss is not yet 50 years old, do not agree to sell, and the debt is low, no one can do anything about him.

Of course, there is room for manipulation in hurting others, but it is too low-level, and he doesn't feel the need to do this kind of thing, and the other party is also a serious Chinese-funded businessman.

"Then we'll do it ourselves, and I'll dig up all the engineers in Dechang." Lei Shengli said with a smile.

"Let's buy the production line first." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, poaching people is certain, Hong Kong should not have many talents in motors, only a few companies that make motors.

Flipping through the documents on the table, Chen Zhiwen saw the sales of TVs last month, and asked with some surprise: "Our TVs sold 1,800 units last month?" ”

"1800 units is a bit ugly,But what's more troublesome is that our sales have been falling,We can only do the assembly of black and white TVs,This part of the market has no market in Europe and the United States,Hong Kong is about to die,The previous market has been Southeast Asia,There used to be sales of three or five thousand a month,But recently a brand in South Korea,Called Samsung,Began to grab the market at a large scale and low price,The quality is not bad,Not only us,The whole Hong Kong TV has been affected。 Lei Shengli's face was a little ugly and explained, in the whole company, the only thing that the data is not good is this TV.

Before the acquisition of Midea, the previous Feipai electrical appliance company was the main OEM TV, and by the way, it also produced some of its own brands, and after the acquisition, the OEM business continued, and its own TV sets were replaced with Media, but the sales volume was getting worse and worse.

"Samsung, no wonder." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said,The impression of Samsung is that in the 70s, it became the company with the largest export of TV sets in the world,The main reason for this is because the TV giant factories in European and American countries have begun to produce color TVs,All black and white are not produced,This gives these developing countries a certain opportunity,And so many electronics companies,Samsung seized the opportunity,It took a few years to become the world's largest black and white TV manufacturer,And these low-end black and white TVs,Naturally, they have to compete with similar companies in Hong Kong and Wanwan to compete for the market。

Don't talk about the United States, it's the whole of Hong Kong, in many fields, it can't compare with Samsung, which has completed the layout of the industrial chain, just say this TV, Samsung has its own picture tube manufacturing factory, South Korea's current wages are lower than Hong Kong's, how can this be compared?

"Chen Sheng has heard of this company?" Lei Shengli asked.

"I've heard that South Korea's top consortia, just like the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, have a complete industrial chain, a wide range of channels, and many resources behind them, so it's normal for us to compare." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, for the traditional industry, he has no ability to influence, which requires real strength. It is impossible for him to invest in a picture tube at this time, and besides, even if he is willing to spend money, Hong Kong does not have this talent reserve, and he can't even make black and white.

"Why don't we make a color TV?" Lei Shengli asked tentatively.
