"Lao Lei, Shekou over there this second phase of the park is 5 square kilometers, now Hong Kong's labor costs are getting higher and higher, in addition to some of the core components of household appliances and color TVs, others need to be transferred to the mainland, low technical requirements will be transferred to Shekou, and higher technical requirements will be transferred to the future joint venture factory with Yanjing City, so that you can also prepare to enter the domestic market." Chen Zhiwen continued.

Hong Kong's housing prices, in the 75 years of recovery to the present 80 years, the average increase has been three or four times, although ordinary people have always complained that their wages can not rise compared with housing prices, but the rise in housing prices has nothing to do with the factory, and because of the increase in the cost of social living, the cost of workers has also risen two or three times, because if it does not rise, the service industry will grab people.

Regardless of whether the bubble is foamy or not, in the past few years, I don't know how many people's surface worth has increased several times, and they will naturally not be stingy when they consume, which naturally also drives the wages of waiters.

Many industries in Hong Kong are themselves making an assembly money, and the cost of workers in a few years has increased from three or four hundred a month to nearly 1,000, and few low-end factories can afford it, which is why many factories will move to the mainland in the future, because the labor cost of a person in the mainland may be less than 100 Hong Kong dollars, and for Hong Kong factories, another major expenditure is rent, housing prices have risen several times, and rents have naturally risen.

Midea products,There are a lot of huge profits,Such as game-related hardware,But household appliances are not,Long-term subsidized production is also unlikely,Moving to the mainland is also a trend,Besides,A handheld will make Midea's production capacity insufficient,Wait until the home game console is released,That production capacity will definitely be more tight,Now it is also necessary to transfer the low-end manufacturing industry away,Prepare new production lines for electronic products such as games, etc.。

Shekou is the best place to undertake fans, radios, etc., because it can be sole proprietorship, labor is low, and the requirements for technical personnel are not high, plus Hong Kong can also transfer people to be, but air conditioning, color TVs can only be placed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and other relatively developed industrial places for the time being, even if it is a joint venture, it is also necessary to ensure quality, anyway, in 1986, after the policy liberalized the joint venture requirements, you can take back the equity on the line.

"Well, I also have this idea, the workers in Shekou are very diligent, the policy is also very good, if our fans are all produced there, the global sales will definitely go to a higher level. However, the joint venture factory in Yanjing City, the negotiation team that has been there before has probably contacted the Yanjing side, and Yanjing obviously hopes that our products are mainly for export, and even if they can be sold domestically, they can only sell some products that cannot be produced domestically, and they are not willing to let us sell them in China. Lei Shengli said.

"The largest electrical appliance market in China is actually not air conditioners and refrigerators, mainly fans, which can be produced in China itself, and they naturally don't want us to sell them in China, so is there any proposal in China?" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and asked.

Lei Shengli said: "They hope that we can take the route of selling at a high price, but the price has not yet been discussed, at least it is much higher than the international price." ”

"Then let's continue to talk about it first, it's okay to go high-end, I first have to give the brand to the pillar in China." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

There are actually a lot of rich people in China, and there are many people who can afford to install air conditioners and refrigerators, but the first purpose of domestic reopening is to earn foreign exchange, so no matter what policy must be around this article, even if Chen Zhiwen promises foreign exchange balance, but the domestic side must also want to export more exports, which is also human nature, and foreign investors in China also want to make more domestic money.

Moreover, the domestic high-level also needs to consider the development of the local industrial chain, and really let foreign major appliance brands enter the market, the mature industrial chain and higher technology will definitely destroy the local industrial chain, which is unacceptable for a country that intends to do everything by itself.

Other electrical appliances dare not say, but Midea's electric fan technology has been at a high level in the world, especially for so many years Chen Zhiwen's long-term investment, Midea Group has a deep research on motors, fan blades, fluid dynamics, electronic control, and many international patents, and it is also a unique in the world in terms of cost control.

If the United States fans are produced in China, and then dumped at a low price, then many domestic fan industries may be devastated, and the domestic government's solution to this situation is to require foreign parties to increase the price, increase a lot, although a single fan may earn more foreign capital, but too high a price is destined to not sell too much, but also give the local industry a certain space for development.

In a few years, the first generation of Santana was priced the highest in the world, and there was actually a reason for this.

After all, although the domestic consumption power in the 80s is not low, the internal protection is too serious, and the market is too bad compared with foreign countries, and as long as it waits until the 90s, there is no shortage of domestic foreign exchange, plus the economy is improving, and he only needs to promote the entire brand to the whole country in the 80s, and then there will naturally be rich returns.

At present, in the 80s, it is mainly to use domestic cheap labor and some high-quality talents to serve the United States.

"Okay, then I'll inform the people in the country of this news." Lei Shengli nodded and said.

"Now that the handheld machine has begun to gain a foothold in the US market, and the sales are also good, how is the research and development of the red and white machine?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

The red and white machine is the color of the shell set by Chen Zhiwen for his home game console, which is the same as the version that was popular all over the world in later generations, the appearance is very memorable, and it is easy to call.

Compared with handheld consoles and arcade machines, the difficulty of home game consoles is much greater, it took 3 years before and after Atari research and development, and Midea has learned some wrong ways from the people who Atari poached, but it still takes a long time, which is also related to the lack of relevant talents in Hong Kong, and the main research and development still relies on the United States R & D and release.

"It's basically done, it's still in the final testing stage, and it's estimated that it will be ready to go on the market in June." Lei Shengli said.

"Okay, now that the research and development has been almost, many R&D personnel have begun to be empty, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, there is no need for so many R&D personnel for testing, and a small number of people in the project can follow the experiment." Lei Shengli said.

"Then prepare to develop the second generation of red and white machines, on the basis of the first generation, continue to optimize, and integrate games such as "Tank Wars" and "Donkey Kong", and wait until the current "Tank Wars" arcade and "Donkey Kong" arcade market are about the same, and then launch them." Chen Zhiwen continued.

The later generations of Atari ostensibly died from their own "ET Alien", but in fact it was a long-term, shoddy third-party game, "ET Extra-Terrestrial" was just the last straw that crushed the camel, after all, millions of game cartridges, the cost is estimated to be tens of millions of dollars, it is impossible to drag down Atari, which had a turnover of more than $1 billion at the time.

Therefore, the first and second generation of their own red and white machines, will never be open to third parties, only do a few of their own popular games, "Snake", "Magic Cube", "Space Invaders", "Pac-Man" is the first generation of home game consoles can only recognize the four games, each game card will carry an identification chip, other game cards can not be recognized by the red and white machine at all.

The arcade machine of "Tank Wars" is currently sweeping the arcade market in the United States, even if Atari's home game consoles have begun to appear in many American homes, but the games carried by Atari game consoles are too far from "Tank Battles", and in countless bars, "Tank Wars" is even more popular than "Space Invaders" back then.

And "Donkey Kong" is the next generation of games currently under development by Midea, although it may not be as good as "Tank Wars" in terms of playability, but this is the first game that can be scrolled up and down, and the difficulty development is very high, but if it is successful, then whether it is an arcade or a home console, it will enter the next era.

These two games can still make profits in the arcade market for at least more than a year, and this time is also the time for the R&D team to develop the second generation of red and white machines.

As for the third and fourth generations in the future, whether to continue to identify only their own games or introduce the three parties, then we have to look at it specifically, after all, when the chip computing power is strong, plus history has changed a lot, no one knows whether there will be a batch of high-quality games, if you refuse to introduce, it is equivalent to giving the market to others, even if Atari falls, the game companies in Japan are probably salivating.

"No problem, but this time, I want to develop it here in Hong Kong." Lei Shengli said.

"Are you sure?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The last time I developed the red and white machine, I sent hundreds of Hong Kong engineers to the United States to study, and they all participated in the development process, this time it is just to optimize and integrate the new game, the difficulty is easier than starting from scratch, I think we can try it, otherwise the efficiency of the United States is too low." Lei Shengli said.

"Okay, sooner or later, we have to let Hong Kong try, the United States should also recruit a lot of Chinese engineers, find a way to let them come to Hong Kong, in addition, you can also poach people from Wanwan, Chinese engineers from the United States and Japan can also be dug up, in short, I need to improve the team capacity of Hong Kong to a higher level." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

Regardless of whether Hong Kong will become a scientific and technological desert in the future, but at least not yet, they themselves have some additional poaching people from the outside, and it should be enough to meet the needs of their own family, as for the future, they still have to rely on a large number of domestic talents, select high-quality talents from tens of millions of young people across the country, and then concentrate resources for training, and the excellent ones can be sent overseas or just in Hong Kong for internship, or go to the deep sea city to build a research and development base, and so on.

"Okay." Lei Shengli nodded and said that now Midea's popularity in the global electronics market is a stage where technology research and development must be carried out.

"One more thing, I'm going to make a personal computer in the United States, do you think Hong Kong can develop it after there are enough talents?" Chen Zhiwen suddenly asked again.
