Chapter 616 The adopted wolf cub (second update, please subscribe)

On the road in the early morning, the sound of bicycle bells and bus horns are intertwined. Tens of thousands of workers ride bicycles, fast or slow, on the narrow non-motorized lanes. At the same time, buses were also driving on the road. As soon as the bus stopped and the door opened, the workers poured out of the bus and walked quickly towards the factory. People walked and talked, their voices and laughter mixed with the ringing of bicycle bells.

As workers poured into the factory, Yang Yuankai, standing beside the car in the parking lot in front of the building near the factory, lit a cigarette again and looked straight at the building in the distance.

TCL Building.

TCL not only manufactured the world's first transistor TV, but also invented the integrated circuit.

This time Yang Yuankai came here because he wanted to negotiate with them about the introduction of transistor TV technology.

After taking a long puff of cigarette, Yang Yuankai looked up at the building and said to himself.

"Okay, let's see this time!"

After that, he walked into the building.

……

Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly and said.

The reason why he answered like this was because Xia Yuanyi was surprised when the two first met - why a Shanghainese would choose to invest in industry was somewhat "unreasonable".

It was also the first customer he received today.

Facing Manager Xia, Yang Yuankai's tone was full of incomprehension about his colleagues in Shanghai and Shanghai speculating on gold:

Xia Yuanyi's first impression of this visiting guest was very good - he arrived 20 minutes earlier than himself.

Xia Yuanyi was one of the first batch of task force members. He retired from the military only three years ago and joined TCL. In just three years, he went from the middle level of the company to the deputy manager of the company. His ability can be imagined.

"What Boss Yang said is true. To build a country through trade, we must develop industry. However, there is no problem with financial speculation. Financial speculation is both speculation and investment. It is just a matter of degree. It is not too much. Well!"

"Most Shanghai-based businessmen lack enough confidence in investing in industry. They are used to speculation in gold, bonds, foreign exchange, coal, and cotton yarn, because speculation is more profitable. Even if they don't speculate, they are just doing business. Compradors, this is their biggest problem, but I am different from them. I believe that industry is the industry with the most investment value, especially in Nanyang. Nanyang is "founded by trade", and investment in industry is destined to get very rich profits. "Return."

Ten minutes later, on the 7th floor of the building, Yang Yuankai met with Xia Yuanyi, the deputy general manager of TCL. He was years old, handsome and tall, and because he had served in the military - this is a characteristic of the company. Many senior executives came from the Allied task force. They have a kind of masculinity that ordinary employees do not have, and they do things vigorously and resolutely.

It is a well-known fact that merchants in Shanghai and Shanghai like to speculate. However, the reason for this situation is directly related to the repeated heavy losses to Tangshan's industry. The first time was during World War I. The industrial sector achieved great development, but after the war it was also severely damaged. Various countries were hit, and many industrial tycoons went bankrupt. Then there was the so-called "golden decade", when the factory industry suffered unimaginable losses during the war. Compared with investing in industry, which consumes money and energy and requires bearing various external risks, speculative finance not only has high returns but also has low risks, which makes it more popular among people.

"However, I'm curious, Boss Yang, why do you think our company is willing to transfer transistor technology to you?"

Looking at the other party, Xia Yuanyi said.

"If the product is welcomed by the outside world, then we can expand the factory and increase production at any time. There is no need to support a competitor." Although TCL had successfully developed a transistor TV a few months ago, there are still some problems in actual production. ——For example, there is a large backlog of electron tubes in factories, such as dealers’ backlog of old products. Therefore, transistor TVs have not been put on the market until now.

Now, someone is coming to our door asking to buy transistor TV technology. This is tantamount to buying their core technology, which is a bit unbelievable.

"This is the truth, but Manager Xia, you often say that Nanyang is a company with 1 million people, and we want to go overseas to compete with foreign companies. In this case, I believe that my company and TCL are definitely not A competitor, but a partner. TCL does have the most advanced technology, but in overseas markets, it will definitely have to face competition from the United States, the United Kingdom and other European and American countries. Just like United Communications' TR- radio, now European and American countries have also launched The lack of similar radios has put a certain amount of pressure on United Communications' market. As we all know, patents on industrial products such as radios can be easily circumvented. After TCL's TV sets are put on the market, we can also imitate, improve, and circumvent the patents. In the end, the situation you face is just like United Communications. Not only are you besieged by hundreds of European and American manufacturers, you also have to face competition from domestic companies. Although this competition is not vicious, it is still competition. But if Competitors are partners? I mean real partners, let’s explore overseas markets together.”

Yang Yuankai took a deep breath and said.

"Moreover, Your Excellency once said that companies not only have the responsibility to research new technologies, but also have the obligation to diffuse new technologies. It is the company's responsibility to export management and technical talents to society, and it is also the company's obligation to export new technologies!"

This is exactly why Yang Yuankai dared to come over and buy the latest technology - because the company has been transferring new technologies to the outside world.

Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly when Yang Yuankai said that, looked at Yang Yuankai, and said in agreement:

"I also agree with this. There are said to be 100,000 companies in Nanyang, but these 100,000 companies should not be in a competitive relationship. They should be a whole overseas. This is the position we must hold when going overseas to make money. Of course Well, business must be profit-oriented. The company’s technology output does not have to be through the company’s former employees. Other methods can also be adopted.”

In fact, exporting personnel and technology is part of the company's "wolf-raising strategy". In the past few years, the company has been committed to promoting this plan. It helps to promote scientific management and new technologies in Nanyang, and by increasing Internal market competition prevents domestic monopoly of enterprises and maintains and improves the level of enterprises through competition.

By competing with, or even confronting, domestic peers, the company can discover and improve its own shortcomings to maintain its leading position. Finally, this plan also promoted the great development of Nanyang enterprises and enhanced Nanyang's economic and industrial strength.

However, due to the large scale of investment in producing televisions, TCL has not raised its own wolves until now. Now that someone is coming to the door, Xia Yuanyi sees an opportunity.

In fact, a wolf does not necessarily have to be one's own biological child. Adopted ones can also become biological sons. Just like what you said, one day a son can defeat me, that's what he is capable of.

In fact, in that case, it means that raising wolves is successful. It is better to be overthrown by one's own people than to be overthrown by foreigners in the future.

"Do you have sufficient funds?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuankai took a long breath. He knew that the deal was basically concluded.

"That's about right. I've already negotiated an investment of 700 million yuan. As long as I get your authorization, I can negotiate a loan with the bank and start the company. There will definitely be no problems."

Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said.

"I will try my best to facilitate technology transfer,"

In Xia Yuanyi's view, the company does not need to put on airs outside the company, but should be open to everyone and help those companies grow bigger. The bigger they grow, the bigger Nanyang's industry will grow.

This is a healthy development. Although he is a senior executive of the company, Xia Yuanyi has never limited his sights to TCL. What he thinks about is the entire Nanyang!
