489 Ambitions in the domestic market
"It's still too early to say this, such a big investment, you definitely need to be cautious, in fact, Shenhai City is so close to Hong Kong, the language is also similar, I also hope that in Shenhai City, such a large-scale project can be built, especially in the game electronics industry." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
In fact, investing in factories by themselves is also a forced choice for the current electronic industry pattern.
In the later generations, the electronics industry is basically outsourced, and at present, in the 80s, there is also such a trend, but it has not yet reached the complete industrial chain model of the 90s and even the 21st century.
The electronics industry foundry, in fact, is such as Foxconn such a company, through the scale effect, for the large electronics companies to OEM computers or then feature phones and smart phones, but the current foundry model, is not enough to grow, that is to say, each foundry company, is also one after another, has not reached the 90s of the large-scale model.
This is the inevitable development of the electronics industry, but the development of foundry also needs to come out step by step, only after a lot of competition, there will be a king enterprise like Foxconn, and this process also takes a long time, until the mid-to-late 90s gradually formed.
In other words, even if Chen Zhiwen intends to cultivate future OEM assembly giants, he can't do it at present, even if he finds Foxconn, they don't have the ability to undertake such a huge order as Midea, and neither can other companies, and the scale has not yet developed to this level.
Perhaps South Korea's Samsung has this potential, but Chen Zhiwen is obviously unlikely to give most of his orders to this future competitor, and even invest in a black and white TV factory in China, with a small purpose, which is also to compete with Samsung.
Although he has long arranged for someone to go to South Korea to buy Samsung's shares, and he is also a minority shareholder of Samsung, this is only a pure economic investment, and industrial competition is another matter entirely.
But Chen Zhiwen can't wait so long, plus building a factory directly in China has great benefits for his influence, and at the same time, the land under the factory in the future is also a high-value return, so building his own factory is not only more cost-effective for himself, but also almost the only choice. Even if the current Japanese electronics group is now, the main core production capacity is in Japan.
As for the home appliance industry, there is no need for OEM, and it will be the same in 30 years.
"Also, then I will report this matter to the leaders of Shenhai City and Eastern Guangdong Province." Li Chuanfang nodded and said, such a big thing is impossible to suppress, even if he suppresses it, Chen Zhiwen will definitely release the news, which will offend others. However, reporting to the central government, his rank may not be enough.
"Okay, thank you Director Li." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, this time it is just through Shenhai City to transmit the news, such an advantage is that when he arrives in Yanjing, the central side is estimated to be ready, and it is better for both sides to be prepared for such a negotiation, and put it on the table to talk.
After Li Chuanfang left, Chen Zhiwen called Lei Shengli and told him about the conversation just now.
"With the current situation in China, it is estimated that we will definitely want this project, and the next step is to see which city is willing to pay the most." Lei Shengli smiled and said.
After all, according to the forecast, the future of Hong Kong is no longer suitable for this kind of intensive manufacturing industry, with the scale of the United States, it must be prepared several years in advance, in the future, it may be R & D, marketing, procurement, quality of this non-manufacturing jobs will stay in Hong Kong, but even so, it can easily have thousands or even tens of thousands of jobs, because the future of the United States, the global market is predicted to be greater, especially the computer industry.
"That's for sure, this matter, I estimate that the mainland will soon know all about it, you are ready, take our negotiation team and professionals, go to Yanjing, we will discuss this issue with the central government first, the key point is to obtain a license for large-scale sales in China, I can bring hundreds of thousands or even more jobs and foreign exchange to the country, but we also have to enter this market in an all-round way, especially the home appliance industry, and we must enter the domestic distribution channels." Chen Zhiwen said calmly.
A few years ago, his investment can be said to be the first test of the mainland market, entering the domestic market in small batches, first slowly playing out the brand fame, for example, a city store has several Midea home appliances, even if it is impossible to roll out the market due to sales control reasons, but at least it can be the same as imported brands, let many people with spending power be familiar with it, and know that there is also a beautiful brand.
Now, their own purpose is to enter the domestic market in an all-round way, which under the current policy, the products that local brands can produce are unlikely to allow foreign capital to enter this market in large quantities, but their own stepping stone is a super factory with an output value of more than one billion US dollars, which is a very big temptation for the high-level in the mainland.
"If we can enter the domestic market normally, coupled with the low cost of local production and tariff issues, we estimate that we will soon be able to win a large market, and the low cost can also give us a greater advantage in Europe and the United States." Lei Shengli nodded and said, in the overseas market, even if RCA is acquired, the production cost of the Wanwan factory will be reduced through new management, but in the face of Japanese brands, there is still a bit of pressure.
As for the huge benefits that will be brought to the mainland, in fact, it is just incidental, with the size of the market in the United States, it is the same everywhere, and these can only become chips for their own side to obtain greater concessions, such as taxes, land prices, and so on.
"It's not that easy, there must be a little resistance on the domestic side, and everything depends on your future negotiating ability." Chen Zhiwen said.
The mainland's high-level officials have always wanted to cultivate their own industries, and allowing foreign capital to enter directly may destroy the local industry, which may also be a major factor hindering Midea's home appliances from entering the country in an all-round way. Only the car is a special case, the gap between domestic and foreign countries is too big, they can't develop at all, there is no such thing as household appliances, maybe there is a gap, usable or can be used, imitation is also simple, unlike cars, involving personal safety, even if you buy a car back, all dismantled can not be studied, even if the research is made, no one is good, even if it is good, the cost control, fuel consumption, safety can not compare with others, no way is only the first joint venture, the market for technology.
It involves the interests of many people, the domestic demand for foreign exchange, a large number of jobs, potential foreign investment technology and management mode and quality control, and the balance between this issue must be seriously considered by the domestic high-level management, and at the same time, it is also necessary to negotiate with the United States to find a final result that is satisfactory to all parties.
Entering a country with a mega project involves too many things, and it will definitely take a while to produce results.
"After this news spreads, we will also send people to contact Wanwan, which can be regarded as a counterbalance." Lei Shengli said again.
"Add one more South Korea, multi-party competition, it's better." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, although it is impossible for him to invest in South Korea, but one more bargaining chip is good for himself, the current South Korea is not a developed country, the per capita income is a little worse than Hong Kong, and the electronics industry is also relatively good, in the eyes of outsiders, it is indeed suitable to build a large-scale super electronics industry factory.
"Okay." Lei Shengli agreed.
Yanjing City.
A cluster of six six-storey buildings is located in the southeast corner of Yenching city center, which is strategically located next to two main roads.
A jeep drove in from the door, and all the surrounding security guards saluted, which was enough to see the dignity of the people in the car.
The jeep drove inside, in the middle of the yard, there were many vehicles, but they were mainly sedans produced by the old Yanjing Automobile, and there were also a few similar jeeps, but the appearance was somewhat different.
"Lao Zhao, how is this new car?" As soon as the middle-aged man known as Lao Zhao got out of the car, he was teased by a familiar voice behind him.
"Haha, Lao Wu, this car is really good, it deserves to be a car produced by Yanjing Jeep." Lao Zhao laughed and said that Yanjing Jeep had been produced the year before last, but the initial production capacity was very low, because many parts and components need to be imported from overseas, with low efficiency and small import quotas, and later, many factories in Yanjing gradually began to produce parts, especially large pieces, which began to be produced locally, which made the number of imported parts begin to decline, although it still accounts for the majority, but the production capacity of jeeps has gradually increased a lot.
But there are more monks and less meat, not only Yanjing, but also Yuezhou City, which is thousands of miles away, all want a batch, and other cities are the same, especially when the military still has priority, although as the director of the Fourth Machine Department, Lao Zhao also waited for a long time to get one.
"I went and asked, and my car will be waiting for a few months." Lao Wu walked to the side of the car and said with some envy.
"If you want to open it, just take it directly, you're welcome." Lao Zhao said with a smile.
"Forget it, it's better not to borrow the car, it's okay to borrow it for business, it's not okay for private matters, take me back in the afternoon, I'll just sit down." Lao Wu shook his head and said.
"You're still too cautious, don't you just borrow a car?" Lao Zhao smiled, didn't care, and asked again, "Why did you come down." ”
"It's a big deal." Lao Wu's face faded into a smile and said: "There is a very shocking news from Shenhai City, a local city leader has made a contact with Mr. Chen Zhiwen in Hong Kong, and learned that Midea Group is ready to choose a place outside Hong Kong and invest in a large electronics factory with an annual production capacity of up to one billion US dollars. ”
"A billion dollars a year?" After Lao Zhao heard this, his eyes almost popped out.
