20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3675 Shan Qiang's Price Quote

A few years ago, Seagull cameras were not much different from imported cameras from Europe, America, and Japan in terms of mid-to-low-end products, and they were even better value for money.

Therefore, most professional small and medium-sized photo studios in China use domestic brands such as Seagull and Yanjing.

In the 1990s, as people's quality of life improved, cameras began to move from the field of professional photographers into ordinary households, and people began to value the "point-and-shoot" function of SLR cameras.

However, domestic manufacturers did not pay attention to technological research and development in this direction, and as a result, they were defeated by foreign companies in just four or five years.

Even after the introduction of the Minolta X-300 SLR camera production line and the production of the Seagull DF-300 series SLR cameras with some automation functions, the digital camera craze came crashing down on them again.

In the camera industry, their real profits come from selling a camera and then selling film to customers, allowing them to continuously monetize their devices.

Therefore, when faced with this new technology, digital cameras, not only domestic manufacturers but also foreign companies like Kodak and Fujifilm vehemently criticized and opposed this change.

However, such a futile attempt to stop a chariot is destined to be both pathetic and laughable.

Before Seagull officially ceased production in 99, it also developed a digital camera, which was the first digital camera in China, the Seagull DC-33.

However, by this time the company's funds had been exhausted and it had a lot of debt. It was simply unable to compete with foreign companies, let alone produce shoddy quality products. It could only put these digital cameras, which were the result of painstaking efforts and the company's desire for revival, into the warehouse to gather dust.

Zhao Chang has always believed that the Chinese nation is a great nation, and the Chinese people are an even greater people, possessing wisdom, diligence, hard work, courage, and strong adaptability and the ability to imitate and replicate.

The claim that one Chinese person is a dragon and three Chinese people are three worms is pure slander and defamation, an attempt to undermine our great self-confidence and sense of honor.

The reason for this internal friction is that the Chinese people were afraid of poverty and hunger during the thousands of years of feudalism, and were regarded as worthless by those in power.

So, in order to survive, they had no choice but to prey on the plants right next to them.

However, while observing these discordant phenomena, we should also recognize the admirable quality of Shanxi merchants who once kept their promises.

The problems at the Seagull Factory, frankly speaking, highlight the drawbacks of the planned economy.

If the only requirement is for Seagull Factory to continue manufacturing mature products like the DF-300 series, Seagull Factory will definitely be able to consistently produce high-quality products, just like Shancheng Pharmaceutical Factory, whose products have always been of excellent quality.

However, when it comes to the research, development, innovation, and iteration of technology, too many laymen lead experts. The enterprise leaders who make the final decisions are appointed by the industrial bureau. If a factory manager of a match factory performs well, he can be transferred to be the factory manager of a motorcycle factory. The industry span is too large.

This new factory manager can certainly manage the company's production very well, but if you ask him to make the right decisions on upgrading and iterating the company's products, it's like forcing a donkey onto the shelf.

Because they are unfamiliar with the industry and afraid of making rash decisions and harming the company, these factory managers tend to focus on maintaining the status quo and being cautious, at most making some minor innovations and improvements such as energy saving and efficiency enhancement.

Now, returning to the question of Seagull Factory, Zhao Chang'an has reason to believe that as long as the direction is right, Seagull Factory may well be able to occupy a place in the world-class digital imaging optical manufacturing field in the future.

Zhao Chang'an estimated that Tang Shuang would definitely be willing to negotiate the acquisition with Seagull Factory, and Wen Ye should also have some objections. The key issue was the ownership of this company: whether it belonged to Zhengzhou's No.1 Nanotechnology Industrial System or was managed by the No.1 Nanotechnology Pearl headquarters.

Previously, the Zhengzhou area of ​​OneNanometer focused on real industries, while the Mingzhu headquarters participated in and managed the internet economy and non-controlling enterprise operation policies. The newly separated OneNanometer Lin'an is working to integrate the internet economy with the real economy, as well as the offline logistics industry.

If the J-SH04 miniature camera production line were located in Mingzhu, Zhao Chang'an estimated that Tang Shuang and Wen Ye would definitely have a heated argument.

Zhao Chang'an's hesitation stemmed from the choice between his girlfriend and his brother.

We can only leave this matter to them and see what they decide.

However, Zhao Chang'an believes that Tang Shuang will most likely talk to Seagull Factory, because the Yangtze River Delta is one of the two most developed manufacturing regions in China, and it is also the most active region for private enterprises in China. Simply doing the Internet industry can no longer satisfy Tang Shuang's ambition.

Aside from the troublesome issue of choosing a location for the J-SH04 miniature camera production line, which had been troubling Shan Qiang for so long, the letter regarding the sale of the Rose Group finally reached the headquarters of One Nano Pearl. Shan Jun then sent the letter to Zhao Chang'an via email.

Shan Qiang completely relinquished her 55% stake in the Qiangwei Group, excluding her shares in Shancheng Vocational and Technical College, for a package price of 60 million.

This includes 60% of the shares of Qiangwei Cultural Tourism held by Qiangwei Group, 10% of the shares of Shancheng Vocational and Technical College, and 100% of the shares of Qiangwei Flower and Tree.

Furthermore, Shan Qiang demanded that Zhao Chang'an acquire the Shancheng Sand and Gravel Plant from the Green Garden Group, which includes three sand quarries along the river and two stone quarries, for a price of ten million.

This price isn't cheap, but it's not excessive either.

Moreover, Shan Qiang was sold to Zhao Chang'an at this time. If she had been sold to someone else, it would have been difficult to sell her for 40 million.

Because of the scandal involving Mai Guixue and Lang Ruping, the two are still unwilling to compromise and are in a stalemate.

The cultural tourism group is also facing uncertainty about the future. Shan Qiang has taken away 10% of the shares of the vocational college. At the same time, state-owned mineral resources have entered a period of strict control in recent years. The five mines under Luyuan are likely to be shut down or even closed.

The rose and tree business is doing well, with a net profit of one to two million yuan a year. However, this is thanks to the Green Garden Group, a major player in the flower and tree company. Last year, 60% of the company's sales and 90% of its profits came from the Green Garden Group.

Since Shan Qiang has decided to sell the flower and tree company, the profit transfer line with Luyuan Group is definitely broken. Shancheng is still an economically backward area with no large cities within a 200-kilometer radius. The distance is too far, and the damage to the flowers and trees caused by long-term transportation, as well as the initial maintenance to ensure the survival of the flowers and trees, are all considerable expenses.

In the past, Zhao Chang'an would have accepted Shan Qiang's offer of 70 million, but now that business is business, he pushed the matter to Wen Ye. As for how Wen Ye negotiated with Shan Qiang, he didn't intend to ask about the specific details.

It is conceivable that Shan Qiang's transfer letter had a significant impact on the local area of ​​the mountain city, especially on Duan Fengqing's concept of a green mountain city tourism destination.

After Shan Qiang lost interest in continuing to hold shares in Qiangwei Cultural Tourism, Duan Fengqing would participate in and facilitate the equity transfer as long as One Nano didn't push the price too low, or Shan Qiang didn't make exorbitant demands.

After all, Green Garden Group has a lot of investments in Chongqing. However, the Peach Blossom Villa and Moon Bay super-large community projects alone have made Shan Qiang hesitant to act rashly and have to consider the opinions of the local people.
