Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1143
Duan Yun's only solution now is to find Mayor Li Hao. After all, he is not very familiar with the deputy mayor. Maybe Mayor Li can help him solve this problem.

But today, Mayor Li is inspecting a foreign company, and he can't be contacted for the time being, so Duan Yun plans to go back to deal with another matter first, which is to write a letter to the president of Toshiba Corporation.

Back at the company's office, Duan Yun immediately took out the paper and pen, and spent more than two hours before finishing the writing.

For a long time, Duan Yun has made a lot of money by using his foresight as a reborn person to start a technology business, but this time, he plans to use his foresight of some major events in this era to achieve his goal of setting up a joint venture.

In 1987, an event that shocked the world occurred, that is, the Toshiba incident, one of the military-sensitive high-tech smuggling incidents that jeopardized the security of Western countries during the Cold War.

The incident happened late at night in the early spring of 1983. The [-]-ton freighter "Old Communist Party" sailed by the Soviet Shipping Company to Japan departed from Shibaura Wharf, Japan, and transported away dozens of boxes of "five-axis linkage CNC machine tool" components.

According to the Japanese, the use of these CNC machine tools purchased by the Soviets could not only improve the propulsion performance of the submarine, but also improve the propulsion of the new aircraft carrier under construction at that time. Batumi export event".

The consequences of this incident were very serious. For the first time, the U.S. Navy lost its depth detection advantage over Soviet warships and submarines. To this day, the U.S. Navy still has no absolute certainty in discovering new types of Russian submarines.

This incident finally happened in 1986. Su, one of the parties to the Japanese secret agreement, Kumagai Toku of Wako Corporation of Japan resigned because of a dispute with his employer, and was angry about the Toshiba incident exposed by President Bassin.

By the beginning of 1987, the Americans had the real evidence that the Soviet Union obtained precision machine tools from Japan. Under the pressure of the United States, the Japanese Security Agency conducted a surprise inspection of Toshiba, seized all relevant materials, and arrested those involved.

In the end, two executives of Toshiba were arrested and imprisoned. The Japanese Prime Minister apologized to the United States, and Toshiba was sanctioned by the United States, and a 300% tariff was imposed on it, causing Toshiba to suffer heavy losses.

If Duan Yun didn't want to be able to introduce Toshiba's chip production line at a low price, he would not have thought of taking advantage of this incident, because once it is discovered and exposed, it may cause a very serious diplomatic incident.

But Duan Yun is too eager to get this flash memory chip production line, because he knows how much commercial value this production line will have in the future, and the huge impact it will have on China's electronics industry.

After finishing writing, Duan Yun transcribed it again, checked for a while, and found Li Yun, the company's translator.

Due to the sensitivity of the matter, to avoid translation by others because the chairman of Toshiba cannot understand English, Duan Yun directly translated the letter into Japanese.

In addition, in order to attract Toshiba's attention, Duan Yun also specifically mentioned Xiong Gudu, and suggested that Toshiba's executives find a way to stop him.

In addition, in this letter, Duan Yun deliberately implied that he was a "second generation" with a background in China, and that he was able to obtain some sensitive and secret information at home and abroad.

In fact, Duan Yun’s behavior is completely deceptive. The purpose is to inform the chairman of Toshiba that he is not an ordinary Chinese private enterprise owner. There are also "reasons" for the reason why he can do such a big business in China.

"What does it mean that the five-axis CNC lathe was sold to the Soviet Union? And who is this Japanese named Kumagai Toku?"

After seeing the letter Duan Yun asked him to translate into Japanese, Li Yun asked in a daze.

Duan Yun wrote this letter very implicitly. If people who don’t know about the Toshiba incident read this letter, they would definitely not understand its meaning. Therefore, Li Yun felt that this letter seemed extraordinary, but it was not Understand what it means.

"Actually, it's an ordinary business matter. You translate it into Japanese and write it on it, leaving a blank space for your signature." Duan Yun settled down.

"Okay, give me 10 minutes." Seeing that Duan Yun seemed unwilling to explain the content of the letter, Li Yun tactfully didn't ask any more, picked up a pen and paper from the side, and began to translate the letter into Japanese.

And when Duan Yun asked Li Yun to translate the letter, Li Hao, who had just inspected a private company, had returned to the city government office, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"Mayor Li..." At this moment the door opened and Zhen Xipei walked in.

"Old Zhen, sit down!" Seeing this, Li Hao immediately asked him to sit down with a smile on his face, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Duan Yun, the general manager of Tianyin Electronics Factory, found me this morning. He said that he wanted to establish a joint venture with Toshiba in Shenzhen..."

"Establish a joint venture with Toshiba?" Hearing this, Li Hao was stunned for a moment.

It is also the first time for Li Hao to hear that there will be a joint venture between a foreign company and a private enterprise in Shenzhen. Although there have been many private enterprises in joint ventures in other parts of the country, this is definitely the first time in Shenzhen.

"Yes, I've been here in Shenzhen for so long, and this is the first time I've heard of a joint venture between a private enterprise and a foreign manufacturer in Shenzhen, and the other party is Japan's Toshiba Group." Zhen Xipei paused, and then said: "Duan This kid Yun feels a little carried away at the moment. Our municipal party committee may be a little too nice to him. He came to me today and opened his mouth to apply for 1 acres of industrial land. In addition, we need a foreign company from our government to come to Shenzhen to do business. Invitation letter from the factory, ready to introduce the chip production line from Japan..."

"Chip production line?" Li Hao was taken aback.

"Yes, the color TVs produced by Toshiba have a high sales volume in our country. If they want to set up a color TV joint venture in Shenzhen, then I definitely welcome it, but the problem is that Duan Yun said that his production line will produce a product called "Flash" "The flash memory chip, I have never heard of this kind of thing. According to him, it is a new product... I think this kid must be trying to cheat the industrial land..." Zhen Xipei said with a slight frown.

"What else did he tell you at that time?" Li Hao asked.

"He also said that if he could introduce this chip production line from Toshiba, he would open up the international high-end electronics market..." When Zhen Xipei said this, his face flashed with disapproval, and he continued: "These private The bragging ability of the bosses of the companies is getting bigger and bigger. Our country has introduced so many imported production lines over the years, but the products produced in the end have not been digested in the country. If the international market is really so easy to open, our country will not be able to As for earning foreign exchange by exporting cheap energy every year..."

"Old Zhen, let me see, let's issue a government invitation letter for Tianyin Electronics Factory..." Li Hao said suddenly.

"Mayor Li, you don't really agree with Duan Yun and Toshiba to set up a joint venture, do you? There is no policy in our country that allows private companies to set up joint ventures." Zhen Xipei said in surprise.

"But the state does not expressly prohibit private enterprises from setting up joint ventures..." Li Hao glanced at Zhen Xipei, and then said: "Old Zhen, don't underestimate a private entrepreneur like Duan Yun, he can make the company so big , It is enough to prove his vision and ability, and Shenzhen is a special zone, since it is a special zone, we have to do special things, isn't it just 300 acres of industrial land? We can still afford to gamble!"
