Reborn since 1993

Chapter 360: Desperate to see through
"If Torch Group's shipments can reach its booking target and its advertising business can be done, then maybe Torch Group's advertising department can become one of the largest advertising platforms in the country!"

Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru, Wu Yaoguo, Zhang Xiaocheng and others with a smile. Although Li Dongling's words were a bit joking, they were not completely joking.

Just think about it, if Torch Group's lighter shipments can reach 100 million or even 1 billion in the future, how big will the lighter advertising platform be then?

It’s hard to say how effective it is, but it does sound a bit scary. A billion-level advertising platform is enough to make Torch one of the largest advertising platforms in the country!
At this time, Yao Zhengru directly said, "The municipal government will coordinate with Pingyang Cigarette Factory to reach a cooperation with Torch Group, so that Pingyang Cigarette Factory and Torch Group can become a model for lighter advertising!"

If we look for other cigarette factories, it may be difficult to say, but Pingyang has its own cigarette factory, so there will be no problem in letting Pingyang Cigarette Factory cooperate with Torch Group.

Now Dongling Hi-Tech has become Pingyang's largest taxpayer, but in the previous life, this position was occupied by the Pingyang Cigarette Factory. In the past ten years or so, more than 20% of Pingyang's tax revenue was contributed by the Pingyang Cigarette Factory. In the s, the Pingyang Cigarette Factory, with more than employees, paid more than billion in taxes each year!

At that time, the housing price in Pingyang was around 500 to 600 yuan, while the salary of the employees of Pingyang Cigarette Factory exceeded 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. However, this position is now occupied by Dongling Hi-Tech. The profit margins of Shenzhou digital cordless phones, PHS and Shenzhou USB flash drives under Dongling Hi-Tech are not much worse than those of the cigarette factory, but they provide more jobs and tax revenue!
If the cooperation between Pingyang Cigarette Factory and Torch Group can indeed attract traffic to Pingyang Cigarette Factory and increase sales, then cooperation between other cigarette factories and Torch Group will not be a problem at all.

Zhang Xiaocheng was a man of swift and decisive character. After determining the Torch Group's next plan, he returned to the Torch Group again. During this period, he basically lived and ate in the Torch Group.

Li Dongling, Yao Zhengru and Wu Yaoguo were still drinking tea in the pavilion. Li Dongling also told them about what he had seen and heard in Yanjing.

"Did Dongling Hi-Tech really take over the IPO financing equity of Founder Group and become the third largest shareholder of Founder?"

When Wu Yaoguo asked about the news reported by the media some time ago that Dongling Hi-Tech had become the third largest shareholder of Founder Group, there was some surprise in his words.

Yao Zhengru and Wu Yaoguo were both familiar with Fang Zheng's name. Fang Zheng's status at the moment was really too high.

Dongling Hi-Tech has unexpectedly become the third largest shareholder of Founder. This is a big shock not only to Dongling Hi-Tech, but also to Pingyang and even Hanxi. Being a local tyrant in Hanxi, the feeling is completely different from becoming a shareholder of a domestic technology giant like Founder.

Li Dongling saw the expressions of the two people, smiled and shook his head, "It's not certain whether this investment will make a profit or a loss.

Dongling Hi-Tech is willing to take over the stocks issued by Founder mainly for the purpose of cooperation with Founder Computer.

In the future, as long as Shenzhou Storage, Dongxin Semiconductor, and Dongfang Optoelectronics can develop qualified hard drives, computer chips, and computer screens, Founder Group is willing to give priority to purchasing them! "

"Of course, if Founder Computer expands its production capacity in the future, perhaps a new Founder Computer production base can be established in Hanxi!"

Hearing this, Yao Zhengru's eyes suddenly lit up. Doxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics and even Shenzhou Storage are all headquartered in Xiyuan, the provincial capital of Hanxi. After all, these companies have huge needs for resources and talents. The provincial capital's geographical location and talent attraction are still better than Pingyang.

Of course, it is also related to the Provincial Government Office, the Investment Promotion Bureau, the Industrial Department and other parts. Dongling Hi-Tech’s headquarters is in Pingyang, and it is not easy to dig directly in the provincial capital, otherwise it will have a bad impact. If you grab the good things when you see the younger brothers, how can you lead a group of younger brothers in the future?
However, the provincial capital was not soft-handed towards the companies under Dongling Hi-Tech, providing them with a large amount of resources and financial support, and also approving large tracts of land, just to keep Shenzhou Memory, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Doxin Semiconductor in the provincial capital.

What Yao Zhengru cares about is whether Founder Computer can establish a production base in Pingyang if it expands its production scale.

If a brand like Founder could build a factory in Pingyang, it would benefit Pingyang in terms of tax revenue and jobs, as well as increasing its visibility and attracting more brands and companies.

For Pingyang, it is far from being picky. Pingyang seems to be in full swing now, but its foundation is too weak and its roots are too shallow. A single tree cannot make a forest. More companies must come to Pingyang to support Pingyang.

Compared to Yao Zhengru, who was more concerned about whether he could bring Founder to Pingyang, Wu Yaoguo, who was from Hanxi Guotou, was more interested in Dongxin Semiconductor, Shenzhou Storage, and Dongfang Optoelectronics, especially now that they might become suppliers of Founder Computer. "Brother Li, I don't know when companies like Dongxin Semiconductor will start raising funds. Hanxi Guotou is also willing to do its part for the technology industry!" Wu Yaoguo said to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling glanced at Wu Yaoguo with a strange look, but saw that his face was full of anticipation, as if he was quite looking forward to investing in Shenzhou Memory, Doxin Semiconductor, and Oriental Optoelectronics.

In the past, lithography machines, chips, and panels were the three major pitfalls in the electronic technology industry. Many companies avoided them, let alone investing in them. They would even disdain them at the first glance.

Dongling Hi-Tech really had no choice. In order to avoid the same fate as Chrysanthemum Factory, Dongling Hi-Tech could only learn from Chrysanthemum Factory's strategy of developing HiSilicon chips so that it could fight back after being targeted. Therefore, Dongling Hi-Tech established Dongxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage as a fallback.

However, Wu Yaoguo seemed to treat these companies as cash cows, and seemed to be very obsessed with investing in several Dongxin Semiconductor companies. I just don't know if Wu Yaoguo can still laugh after really falling into the trap.

However, Wu Yaoguo was able to become the head of Hanxi Guotou and lead Hanxi Guotou to become the largest investment company in the province. He also has a great reputation outside the province, so his abilities must be good.

Wu Yaoguo has always wanted Hanxi Guotou to invest in Dongling Hi-Tech, but he has never found an opportunity. If it were any other company, Hanxi Guotou might have forced the investment directly, but facing Dongling Hi-Tech, which can earn a lot of foreign exchange, and with Pingyang Municipal Government, Hanxi Provincial Government, Economic and Trade Commission, Foreign Exchange Bureau and other Yanjing departments watching, Hanxi Guotou did not dare to act recklessly.

Investing directly in Dongling Hi-Tech is not easy, so Wu Yaoguo thought of saving the country in a roundabout way, starting with investing in companies under Dongling Hi-Tech, and gradually becoming tied to Dongling Hi-Tech!
Moreover, from Wu Yaoguo's point of view, the companies of Dongxin Semiconductor are not pits at all, they are clearly money printing machines!
Like Dongxin Semiconductor, it provides chips for products such as Shenzhou phones, Xiaolingtong phones, and Feiyan phones. The Sirius chip it developed is the first domestically produced landline phone chip, breaking the monopoly of foreign phone chips in China!
At present, all major domestic landline phone manufacturers basically use various improved models of Sirius chips. In this line, because the mainland has become the world's largest landline phone producer, Doxin Semiconductor has also surpassed Toshiba and become the world's largest landline phone chip supplier!
Wu Yaoguo didn't know that Doxin Semiconductor still had a lot of money to develop lithography machines. Now no matter how you look at it, Doxin Semiconductor is a cash cow.

As for Oriental Optoelectronics and Shenzhou Storage, needless to say, they also look extremely bright and beautiful.

Oriental Optoelectronics is the screen supplier for Xiaolingtong mobile phones and is now the largest STN panel supplier in China. When Oriental Optoelectronics did not announce that it was working hard on TFT LCD panels, who would not be confused and regard Oriental Optoelectronics as a treasure trove?
The same is true for Shenzhou Storage. Its USB flash drives are selling like hot cakes. It has even formed an alliance of the top five USB flash drive manufacturers in the world and has mastered the standards and pricing of USB flash drives. Which investment company would not be envious of such a company? !
But if most investment companies knew that Shenzhou Storage was setting up a research and development team and pouring money into companies like IBM, Toshiba, and Samsung, which have yet to come up with a successful solid-state drive project, they would probably back off.

Now Wu Yaoguo has seen the most glamorous side of Doxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Memory. Naturally, he is tempted and wants to get in on the action early, fearing that someone else will get there first and snatch away his investment opportunity.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu. If Dongxin Semiconductor and Shenzhou Memory need financing, the first place they will look to will definitely be Hanxi Guotou. I believe that day will not be far away!" said Li Dongling.

Photolithography machines, solid-state drives, and TFT liquid crystal panels are all very money-burning industries. Although Li Dongling has found a lot of landline chips, mini radio panels, USB flash drives, STN mobile phone panels and other businesses for several companies of Dongxin Semiconductor, he has allowed them to make money with these businesses.

In addition, Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters provides subsidies to maintain the operations of several companies.

But in the future, companies like Dongxin Semiconductor, Shenzhou Memory, and Oriental Optoelectronics will burn more and more money. Since Wu Yaoguo wants to invest, let Hanxi Guotou and other institutions enter the market to provide funds for Dongxin Semiconductor.

As for whether they would regret entering the venue, that was not something Li Dongling needed to worry about. After all, how could one eat meat without getting beaten?
"When I was in Yanjing, I had the Oriental Times Mall reach an agreement with Kingsoft, Founder, and New Oriental Education, and was preparing to introduce New Oriental Education and IT training centers into the Oriental Times Mall in Pingyang!"

Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru, and then looked at Wu Yaoguo, "If Hanxi Guotou is interested, it can also invest in the market, but it is hard to say whether it will make a profit or a loss!"

Wu Yaoguo laughed loudly and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Li, you are joking. If I don't invest in the project proposed by you, I can't think of anyone else to invest in.

No matter how much money is paid for the Oriental Times Shopping Mall project, Hanxi Guotou will follow it!"
