Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 917 Shenzhen Electronics Industry

After the reform and opening up, Shenzhen's electronics industry has developed relatively fast, especially in the past two years, it has entered a stage of explosive development.

In 1979, the Guangdong Provincial Government decided that the Guangdong Electronics Industry Bureau would be responsible for relocating three provincial small factories (8500 Factory, 8532 Factory and 8571 Factory) engaged in the electronics industry in the mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong to Shenzhen at the same time, and established Shenzhen Huaqiang Electronics Industry. The company, which was later Huaqiang Group Corporation, at the same time, the Communication Department of the General Staff also invested in Shenzhen to establish the "Hongling Electric Appliance Processing Factory", which is Shenzhen Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. in the future, and the Fourth Machinery Industry Department (later renamed Electronics) The Ministry of Industry) also transferred a group of personnel from Guangzhou 750 Factory to establish the "Shenzhen Electronic Equipment Factory", which is Shenzhen Aihua Electronics Co., Ltd. The Third Machinery Department established China Aviation Technology Import and Export Corporation in Shenzhen, Shenzhen Office, the above The four are the first batch of electronics companies established in Shenzhen by the Second Ministries and Commissions and Guangdong Province after the establishment of Shenzhen.

At that time, SZ City belonged to the electronics industry, and only SZ City Radio Industry and Trade Company, which was the original Shenzhen Radio Factory, not only produced its own products, but also processed radio motherboards for Hong Kong businessmen. The output value is 106 million yuan, and the profit is 120 yuan. In addition to meeting local needs, the self-produced products are sold to Guangzhou, Shantou and other places.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, there were only a few electronics factories in Shenzhen’s electronics industry. However, in 1980, the SZ Municipal Government and Hong Kong Xinyou Trading Co., Ltd. cooperated to form a Sino-foreign joint venture Xinhua Electronics Factory to produce Xinhua brand recorders. At the same time, the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry began to use the tape recorder and radio production line imported from Japan's Sony Corporation. In two steel-frame factory buildings that were leaked, they processed radios and single-card recorders for Sony Corporation. Several other electronics factories followed suit. Processing products such as radios, tape recorders, and electronic watch chains for manufacturers, and using the "three to one supplement" business model, Shenzhen's electronics industry began to rise rapidly. The two companies that implement independent accounting in the city have a total of 350 employees. The industrial output value is 420 million yuan.

From 1981 to 1984, after Shenzhen’s electronics industry started relying on three sources and one subsidy, it gradually transitioned to the production of self-produced products. Many companies used retained foreign exchange to import key equipment to produce their own brands, such as the existing Huaqiang Jinghua, Kangle, Baohua, Lanhai and other radio industry and trade companies produced Huaqiang essence brand, Kangle brand, Baoxing brand, Shenle brand, and Lanhai brand radio recording recorders respectively. In 1983, the municipal government approved Sony Corporation of Japan to set up in Shekou The establishment of the sole proprietorship "Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd." also opened the prelude to the entry of wholly foreign-owned enterprises into the country.

Now in 1985, Shenzhen's electronics industry has entered another peak period. From only one county-run enterprise in 1979, it has grown to have more than 170 key enterprises that can produce tape recorders, color TV sets, telephones, calculators, etc. The number of employees has also grown from 108 to 17, and it already has a production line for color TV receivers, electronic keys for microcomputers, telephones, software development technology, and a production line for electronic devices. The annual output value is 000 billion yuan, accounting for 13.75% of Shenzhen's total industrial output value, has formed a prototype of the electronics industry dominated by "four machines and one machine" (television, radio, tape recorder, telephone, calculator).

It can be seen that the current competition in Shenzhen's electronics industry is very fierce. Many companies have transformed from three to one compensation to the stage of producing independent products. Compared with these large Shenzhen electronics companies with a Chinese background, Duan Yun In terms of strength, there is a certain gap with these main players.

In particular, the current production line used by Duan Yun Electronics Factory is not high in technology, and it is incomparable with those electronics factories in Shenzhen that have introduced foreign production equipment technology. If Duan Yun did not produce relatively rare speaker equipment in Shenzhen, and the CCTV advertisement If it is very sensational, it will be difficult for his electronics factory to survive in Shenzhen.

Li Guosheng originally thought that Duan Yun could buy an advanced production line when he went to Japan this time. In this way, the electronics factory can be regarded as introducing foreign technology in the future. The production efficiency and technical content will be greatly improved, and the products will become more competitive. A firm foothold in Shenzhen.

However, what Li Guosheng didn't expect was that Duan Yun didn't settle the deal this time, which somewhat disappointed him.

"The Japanese manufacturers are asking for a lot of prices. They want 180 million US dollars, but we only have 120 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, so this matter has not been negotiated." Duan Yun replied lightly.

"Manager Duan, our company can now earn nearly 200 million yuan a month. If it doesn't work, we can borrow several million from the bank in exchange for more foreign exchange. You may not know about some situations. Now there are counterfeit products on the market There are more and more manufacturers of speakers in the factory. I went to Shantou last month and found that there are many new speakers on the shelves in the local department store, and the price is much cheaper than our factory’s products. If this continues, our subwoofer The sales of audio equipment will definitely shrink significantly, so all eggs cannot be put in one basket, and the sales of domestic tape recorders are also very hot now, if we can introduce this Japanese tape recorder production line..." Li Guosheng said with a frown.

Li Guosheng is responsible for sales in the southern market, so he is still very sensitive to the electronic market, especially in the past six months, not only in the local market of Guangzhou, but also in many other cities in the south. A large number of subwoofer speakers have appeared. Imitations, although the quality of these products will not be very good, but the appearance clearly refers to the design of Duan Yun's subwoofer audio, and the price is much lower, which is not a good sign for Li Guosheng.

But in the final analysis, Li Guosheng is just a salesperson, and Duan Yun decides the development direction and business ideas of the company, and he only has the right to give Duan Yun opinions.

"Dad, don't worry. Brother Duan is very capable. He must have figured out a way." While Li Yun was speaking, he put a piece of fish in Duan Yun's bowl.

"Japan's production line equipment is indeed advanced, and our domestic technology is too far behind." Zhao Xuewu also said with emotion at this time, only to hear him continue: "So I also think we must introduce Japanese production lines as soon as possible, otherwise , the distance between our domestic electronic products and the world's advanced level will become wider and wider..."

Different from Li Guosheng's consideration direction, Zhao Xuewu still focuses more on the gap between domestic and foreign technologies. After all, Duan Yun's electronic factory subwoofer products have also obtained foreign orders through the Canton Fair before, and if they do not keep up with the international If the development pace of advanced production technology is fast, it will be eliminated by the international market sooner or later.
