After having a sumptuous dinner at the uncle's house, Chen Zhiwen said goodbye and left, and just after leaving the door, suddenly a man in gray approached quickly, and was immediately stopped by several bodyguards around him.

"Comrade, I'm not a bad person, I have a business to talk to your boss." The person who came was about 40 years old, with a bare beard and dark skin, and said in a pure Northeast accent.

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhiwen asked casually.

"Comrade, I don't know if you need foreign exchange coupons? I have some on my side? The visitor said with a smile.

"I'm from overseas, what do I want foreign exchange coupons for?" Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

Foreign exchange coupons are the equivalent of foreign exchange exchanged currency, which is equivalent to RMB in China, but because it is not restricted, and can buy imported goods or some special materials, the value is much more than normal cash. The country's introduction of foreign exchange coupons is actually convenient for overseas people to return to China to use, but it also gives some "fallen masters" the opportunity to buy high and sell low.

"Then comrade, do you need to sell foreign exchange coupons? Our price is very good. The visitor asked with a smile again.

"What's your name?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"My surname is Hu, and everyone in the courtyard here calls me Hu Sanye, but comrade, you can just call me Hu San." Hu San said with a flattering smile.

As a bad man who lives in the neighborhood, he has some eyeliner about what happens here, and when the two cars outside appeared, he got the news, in this era, there can be a car, and if it is not a blessing, it is expensive, and when he went to check outside the alley, he saw the 4 circles of the car mark, and immediately his head exploded.

Although he can't afford to buy a car, it doesn't prevent him from being a car fan, he knows some international brands, and he also knows that 4 laps is Audi, which is one of the luxury cars abroad, and he can drive such a car in China, either a big leader or an overseas rich businessman, the latter is more likely, because the big leader comes here, there will definitely be a lot of people to greet him, and if it is a private visit from Weifu, he will not drive an Audi.

After arriving near Chen's house, he saw so many bodyguards who were not like locals, and he was even more sure of his guess, so after seeing Chen Zhiwen come out, he immediately rushed over, such an opportunity, I am afraid that I can save 30 years of struggle if I seize it once.

"Hu San, you don't need to sell foreign exchange coupons to me, I'll give you a business, and I promise that you don't need to beg for a living like this ruffian anymore." Chen Zhiwen said.

"You say." Hu San hurriedly said excitedly.

"I want to buy some courtyard houses in China, but this kind of ordinary small one, I don't want it, I want the kind of large area, how much you want, as long as you can buy it, the benefits to you will definitely not be less." Chen Zhiwen continued.

"Quadrangle? No problem, I don't know how big you mean by big area? Hu San asked.

"At least a few hundred square meters, the bigger the better." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "Do you have all the information or clearly marked maps of the courtyard houses in Yanjing City?" ”

"Not really, but if you want, give me three days and I'll sort it out." Hu Sanxi said, this is a big business.

"Okay, where do you live, tell him, and he'll come to look for you then." Chen Zhiwen pointed to an assistant and said, "You will communicate in the future." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen." The named assistant agreed.

"Let's go, it's getting dark." Chen Zhiwen looked around and said, Yanjing City is north latitude, and it basically starts to get dark before 6 o'clock at this time.

The domestic real estate industry, in fact, Chen Zhiwen is not in a hurry, but some things are wrong This village will not have this store, Yanjing City's courtyard is like this, and when the national economy is better in the 90s, the cost of acquisition will increase significantly, and many may be protected by legislation, and money can't buy it.

However, this is not a big investment project after all, and it has no direct economic value, and Chen Zhiwen will not tell any mainland officials about this, if you buy a courtyard house with favors, it will be too wasteful, and if you can solve it with money, you will use money, and if you can't, you will use US dollars.

After returning to the State Guesthouse, Chen Zhiwen had not yet arrived at his residence, but he found a familiar figure fishing by the small lake opposite, so he walked over.

"Bao Sheng, why are you so interested in fishing here?" Chen Zhiwen also sat down next to him, picked up an extra fish tank nearby, put on the bait, and fished together.

"Does Chen Sheng also like fishing?" Bao Yugang asked in surprise.

"It's okay, I often go to sea to fish, if Bao Sheng is interested, you can go together, I booked a cruise ship in the United States and it is estimated that I will be able to go to Hong Kong next month." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile that the cruise ship booked in the United States before was also a leak during the economic crisis, and the whole has basically been completed, and only the decoration remains.

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Bao Yugang nodded and said.

"Looking at Bao Sheng's expression, it seems that there is something on his mind?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"At noon before, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery wanted me to place orders for several 50,000-ton sea bulk carriers in China." Bao Yugang sighed and said: "Chen Sheng, you also know that I am not optimistic about the future shipping market, and I myself am desperately cleaning up the old ships." ”

"What is the price of a 50,000-ton cargo ship?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The current international market is about 35 million US dollars, and the domestic price is 30 million, if it is usual, I don't care, but now it is very embarrassing." Bao Yugang said helplessly.

"If there are a few ships, that's more than 100 million dollars, which is indeed a lot." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, even if he is worth more, he is not willing to lose 100 million US dollars, his investment in China is economical, he may not make much, but he will definitely not lose, and because many parties make profits together, it can become an industry for a long time.

For Bao Yugang, this amount of money is also a very large amount, in the original history, he only spent more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars on the acquisition of Wharf, equivalent to almost 500 million US dollars.

"But after thinking about it carefully, I decided to place this order, at most in a smaller quantity." Bao Yugang shook his head and said: "Actually, I know the idea of China, China should be able to build ocean freighters, but no overseas shipping companies are willing to place orders, which leads to insufficient popularity, and no one buys it, and there is a vicious circle behind it, so there needs to be someone to break this situation, as long as I place an order, and then there is no problem with the quality in the future, plus the price is cheap, it will naturally be able to enter the international market." ”

"In that case, you're at a loss." Chen Zhiwen said.

"It's not too much to lose, although I'm not optimistic about the shipping market, but not to give up all shipping, a certain scale is still required, buy some new ships, and then remove some old ones." Bao Yugang said.

"In fact, I think that global shipping can be prepared to lay out the domestic market, since the country is ready to develop the economy, it will inevitably focus on exports, such a populous country, the future demand for shipping will be very high." Chen Zhiwen thought about it and suggested, anyway, he is not going to do shipping, so tell Bao Yugang that he has a good relationship with him.

"Domestic exports? You mean container ships? Bao Yugang asked.

"Yes, I predict that the domestic export of industrial products in the next few years will not be low, then there must be a need for container ships, if you are sure to place an order for the country, do not get off the oil tanker or bulk carrier, the container is the best." Chen Zhiwen said.

"That's not bad, after placing an order for a ship, and then lock in the domestic export shipping order, thank you Chen Sheng for reminding me." Bao Yugang also seemed to think that this was okay, reducing his risk, and said with a smile.

"I'm just suggesting, don't take any responsibility, just invite me to a meal when you make money, and don't look for me if you lose." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

"Why wait for you to eat, I heard that Yanjing's Quanjude roast duck is very good, let's go and see it tomorrow, how about it?" Bao Yugang said.

"Okay, I want to try this Quanjude too." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Early the next morning, Director Lin brought the relevant materials agreed with yesterday, and Chen Zhiwen also personally entertained them.

In this information, there are many home appliance factories in Yanjing City, including those that produce fans, washing machines, refrigerators, kitchen appliances, etc., Chen Zhiwen only took a general look, and then selected some more than a dozen companies with good locations and scales, and prepared to arrange some professional-level engineers to check. This type of investment is in the technology category, and it is not what he is good at.

"Director Lin, there are a lot of things involved in the joint venture factory construction, even if it is settled on my side, it will take a certain amount of time to negotiate the terms before it is successful, but I will also facilitate this matter as soon as possible." After collecting the information, Chen Zhiwen said that even if he hopes to reduce his own costs and develop the domestic market with the help of domestic labor, cooperation cannot be casual, and it is not very important to invest more or less funds, but the legal terms must be determined first.

"Of course, we are also very happy to cooperate with an international electronics group like Midea." Director Lin said with a smile.

"Okay, I hope we can confirm the cooperation as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen paused and said, "There are two more things that I want to discuss with Director Lin. ”

"Mr. Chen, please speak." Director Lin said.

Chen Zhiwen said: "Yesterday afternoon, I went to my uncle's house, he lived in a courtyard on the edge of Chaoyang District, chatted a little at will, only to know that the current domestic installation of telephones is very troublesome, and then I asked to know that the current domestic program-controlled switches are high-priced overseas imported equipment, so the cost must be too high, if you can produce this kind of program-controlled switches in China, I think many people can use the telephone, which is also of great help to the country's future economic development." ”

"Midea Group's business also involves program-controlled switches?" Director Lin's eyes lit up, the current shortage of foreign exchange in China, some consumer goods such as color TVs, cars can not be bought or less, but many are necessary for the development of the economy, that is, no matter how expensive you have to buy, such as heavy trucks for transporting materials, machine tool processing equipment, etc., and program-controlled switches also belong to the latter, although it does not produce value in itself, but can quickly communicate with the north and south, so that economic activities are more active.

In fact, there are such exchanges in China, but the technical aspect is very different from that of foreign countries, and the number of calls that a device can serve is only a few hundred calls, while the overseas ones are basically more than 10,000, and the efficiency is too high. In today's country reopening, every company wants to earn foreign exchange, and it needs telephones, not to mention the vast number of ordinary people.

"Nope." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, "But China can develop it by itself?" What I can do is to provide funds, RMB or US dollars, in addition, I can also invite some experts from abroad to guide, if the country can develop it, it can also save a lot of foreign exchange. ”

"Mr. Chen provides funds? So what kind of cooperation is it? Director Lin asked with great interest. As long as you can save foreign exchange, that's a good thing.

"Shenhai City is now proposing three to one supplement cooperation with Hong Kong-funded factories, has Director Lin heard of it?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"I've heard of it." Director Lin nodded and said: "Some of the ideas of Shenhai City are very groundbreaking, all the investment is responsible for Hong Kong capital, and they are only responsible for processing, which really saves a lot of controversial troubles." ”

"My suggestion is the same, I will provide funds, test equipment, site investment or other things needed, and then the mainland will send people, such as some university professors and other talents, to work together to overcome the relevant technology, and after the research and development results, all the patents will belong to me." Chen Zhiwen said.

Although many domestic talents are limited by the vision of the previous decades, but the base here is too large, there must be a lot of powerful talents, these people are national treasures, although it may not be difficult to dig people in US dollars, but digging less has little effect, digging more may cause a bad impact, and it is also very time-consuming and energy-consuming to choose the right person.

Therefore, it is better to use the model of "three to one supplement" similar to the manufacturing industry in Shenhai City, and entrust R&D in China, as long as the final patent belongs to itself, but the current domestic patent law has not been perfected, so the cooperation contract needs to be signed separately.

"If this patent belongs to Mr. Chen, then domestic production also needs a joint venture?" Director Lin asked.

"Yes, these are two things, first I commissioned research and development, if it is successful, then we will build a joint venture, but everything needs to be determined in advance, for example, if the products produced after the construction of the factory, as long as the quality is not bad and the price is cheap, then the domestic telecommunications department should give priority to the purchase of our, and at the same time, before I have no cost recovery, other overseas brands shall not be allowed to enter the joint venture to build a factory to produce switches." Chen Zhiwen said again.

As a time-traveler in later generations, Chen Zhiwen naturally knew that Huawei in later generations could develop switches and almost dominate the domestic market in the 90s.

It's just that the favorite trick of Western technology companies is that when there is no such product in the mainland, they will sell it at a high price, ten times or even dozens of times, and when it is developed in China, they will immediately reduce the price in order to destroy this domestic competitor.

In the 80-90s, many domestic manufacturers were played to death like this, Chen Zhiwen had to guard against this, but it is impossible to put forward any exclusive supply agreement, China will definitely not sign this kind of mandatory contract, and the cost recovery requirements are very fair, as for the future, then can only compete with many parties to see who is stronger.
