Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

North America. Vision Company is bustling with people coming and going, and there is an endless stream of sales agents coming to sign.

This emerging cutting-edge technology company, Rogue Eagle, has been aggressively expanding its production capacity and sales channels since it raised US$1000 billion in funding last year. It has sold more than million color TVs this year!

This is a very scary statistic in the current world, which means that color TVs have entered the mainstream TV industry. With less than 30% of the TV industry's sales volume, Vision has completed more than half of the sales and taken nearly 70% of the TV industry's profits.

The post-war recovery of the global economy made people very optimistic about the future, so consumer demand increased significantly. As the best entertainment product at present, the market for televisions developed at a speed far higher than expected in earlier surveys.

In particular, the extremely developed installment sales system of Rogue Eagle has made color TVs, which are a little expensive but have far superior effects than black-and-white TVs, the first choice for many people with stable jobs.

Because not only in terms of color, but also in terms of clarity, sound, etc., Vision's color TV is close to the level of the standard 525-line TV in the early days of the main world. In this era, it is completely different from the 300-line black and white TV.

However, insufficient production capacity due to the hot sales began to restrict the development of Vision. The company had been planning to open a new factory to increase production capacity, but Ma Zhiyuan had his heart set on something else and could not find a good reason.

After waiting for the Liming Research Institute to register patents for several integrated circuits for color televisions, Ma Zhiyuan finally found an opportunity. Under the pretext of technical cooperation, he began to communicate with the Liming Research Institute's Electronic Laboratory on patent cooperation. For the technical engineers of Rogue Eagle, these inventions of the Liming Research Institute amazed them, as they could make the TV motherboards lighter, thinner and more compact.

And in terms of cost, it can also be lower!
The prospects of this technology are naturally limitless. Soon, the initial contact turned into cooperation negotiations. Ma Zhiyuan left these matters to the professional managers of Rogue Eagle, while he watched everything silently behind the scenes.

He already knew the situation of his family very well.

However, this yellow-faced man could not be allowed to negotiate this cooperation, because it might cause unnecessary suspicion among some people in Rogue Eagle. Ma Zhiyuan waited for the team to negotiate the purchase of the patent, but was rejected by the people from the Dawn Research Institute. They soon launched a new color TV based on integrated circuits, which was more technologically advanced and became the latest model with 625 lines!

Ma Zhiyuan was very clear about these technologies. The first generation of color TV he registered was only the initial version with a resolution of 352x288. After several years of development, Ma Zhiyuan gradually advanced to the level of 525 lines.

Now that the Dawn Research Institute has come up with the 625 line, it naturally surprised Vision's negotiation team!
In their panic, they felt no resistance to this technology and finally proposed a joint venture production with the Liming Research Institute.

Through technical cooperation, both parties share the market.

After more than a dozen rounds of lengthy negotiations, a strategic cooperation agreement was finally reached with the Asian market split 30% to 70%, with the Dawn Research Institute accounting for 70%, Vision accounting for 30%, and the European, American and other markets 50% to 50%, with each party taking half.

A large-scale TV production plant with an annual output of tens of millions of units will be built in Dongda, while the Vision factory in North America will directly produce new models of TVs as flagship products.

In Yangcheng, Dongda’s home city, the Liming Research Institute is responsible for the construction site and infrastructure of the factory, while Vision is responsible for providing production line equipment.

The integrated circuit motherboards used by both parties are all produced by the factory in Yangcheng and transported to North America for assembly.

The North American factory sells to North and South America, while the Guangzhou factory sells to Asia and Europe.

In order to ensure the consistency of production quality between both parties, both parties adopt the same assembly line operation standards!

As for the huge difference in workers' wages, the two sides finally reached a compromise. The wages of workers in the Yangcheng factory are calculated at 80% of North American wages, but 80% of the excess local wages will become the Yangcheng local government's coordinated fiscal revenue, and the remaining 20% ​​will be used as performance bonuses to reward hard work and punish laziness, in order to promote changes in the local factory management system.

As for shareholders, it has become a structure where Yangcheng local government provides land and construction with a 30% stake, Liming Research Institute’s technology holds a 20% stake, and Vision holds a 50% stake.

Driven by such huge profits, the professional managers of Rogue Eagle witnessed the speed of infrastructure construction. In just three months, a huge factory was built. However, this was not what frightened them.

What made them realize the huge deterrent power of Dongda the most was that the thousands of supporting workers were trained almost at the same time. After the equipment arrived at the factory, they started to reach the level of mass production immediately after one month of debugging and use!
In the first month, the production capacity completed the production task of 80 units. In the second month, it directly exceeded one million units. In the third month, three-shift production was achieved, and the monthly output successfully exceeded 125 million units!

This far exceeds the standard of annual production of tens of millions of units!
If it were just speed, it wouldn't be a big deal. What's amazing is that judging from the quality inspection, the quality level of this Dongda Yangcheng factory has surpassed that of the North American factory which underwent a slight renovation during the same period!
This proves that the quality of the workers recruited by Yangcheng is far beyond imagination. Compared with the blue-collar workers in North America, they have surpassed them in terms of sense of responsibility, technical level and work enthusiasm.

They were not mistaken, these workers were all college students majoring in electronics trained by vocational and technical colleges. Although they have only received two years of training, they have had nearly three months of internship opportunities in both welding and assembly technology. For a relatively low-tech job like television production, these young skilled workers who have grown up with higher education are far superior to their North American counterparts who are mostly blue-collar workers with high school training.

After all, this is the first factory for foreign cooperation.

Ren Zhong personally paid attention to everything in this factory. In his opinion, the most successful one released by the Qianlong Project was finally starting to pay back, so this matter must not be messed up.

Everything must be completed to high standards to form a routine for future cooperation.

This is not only to ensure the success of the entire project, but Ren Zhong also hopes that the Western assembly line production can have an impact on the current industrial production situation in China where the assembly line model has not yet become mainstream.

Even though Ren Zhong was the first to promote assembly line production in the military industry, making the military industry incredibly efficient, in the civilian sector, private capital industrial factories that lack close understanding of military enterprises are still using a relatively traditional approach.

It is not very convenient for civilians to visit and learn from military-industrial enterprises, but Ren Zhong thinks that such a TV production plant can serve as a demonstration!
So in this regard, Ren Zhongdu further improved the production model and assembly line of this factory, making his production organization method closer to the assembly line production model of modern factories in the main world.

The management is superior to Vision's North American factory.

As a result, the managers and engineers who were sent from Vision to collaborate with Dongda naturally felt in awe of Dongda's production management level in this area, and did not feel any sense of superiority at all.

In this way, the cooperation between the two parties became very smooth, and a steady stream of television products began to be shipped to the European continent on a large scale via long-distance roll-on/roll-off cargo ships!

This more advanced generation of televisions soon triggered a buying frenzy in Europe. Liu Jiayi, who was developing in the foggy city, also used financing to develop the tape recorder and then launched a new explosive product, the video recorder, which conquered the financial and technological circles in Britain, making Goldenstar a technological star of the same generation in Europe!

Since his VCR technology can upgrade the resolution size synchronously with the television, it has become the new favorite of TV drama producers. TV programs can be directly converted into TV programs through VCRs, which greatly reduces the trouble of transcribing from film shooting to videotapes and also reduces costs a lot.

Moreover, by developing a simple video recorder for home use, it became the third entertainment electronic product for the middle class after televisions and tape recorders.

Moreover, the price of this thing is much more expensive than the previous two, and it is an absolutely high-profit product of Goldenstar at the moment!
It is precisely because of these two killer products that Goldenstar has become a technology star like Vision. The two companies are rivals and both are dark horses emerging in the technology world!

In the electronics industry, in addition to these two companies, the third outstanding success of the Qianlong Project is Li Jiabang, who started a business in Gaul with microwave oven technology. He founded CoCo Digital, which also opened up the market in Europe and the United States and became the number one brand in the microwave oven industry!

Thanks to technological advances, he transformed microwave ovens from a product sold for $5000 in high-end places such as restaurants and airlines to a household electronic product sold for less than $!
So Li Jiabang also became a rising star with sales of billions of US dollars.

In addition to these, household appliances such as electric shavers, washing machines, electric fans, heating fans, and air conditioners are also being exported by Qianlong Seeds and produced on a certain scale in different European countries.

Although not as prominent as the above three companies, it has also become a technological leader in the market and has entered a stage of rapid growth.

They successfully devoured the development market space of the electronic giants in the main world. Companies like Phil, Simes, and Honeywell, which were originally about to shine, watched helplessly as individual entrepreneurs emerged one after another, starting a new round of reshuffle in the electronic industry!

It is precisely because of the success of these once-famous technology entrepreneurs that Western powers feel that they are now comparable to the University of Tokyo in the electronics industry.

Even though they are now lagging behind the University of Tokyo in the fields of electronic information and rocket technology, in the home appliance industry, they have not seen a product from the University of Tokyo that can truly be sold worldwide.

This makes them feel they can still compete.

However, due to the weak consumption capacity of the University of Tokyo, among the current electronic products, except for transistor radios which are beginning to be popularized in households, televisions are now available in even a dozen major cities. The direct broadcasting of radio waves by television stations is beginning to move towards the development of television media. However, in the initial stage, ordinary people cannot afford such relatively expensive products.

Fortunately, private capital was not confiscated at that time and space, so there were still millions of families with considerable purchasing power, which laid a certain foundation for the domestic sales of color TVs. After the TV factory in Yangcheng was built and put into production, domestic sales were carried out under the brand name Yangcheng TV Color TV, and sales began in the country.

按照这个时空1:3的大致汇率，国内的彩色电视机15英寸卖1500元，17英寸的卖2100元。相对于普遍工资收入月薪还在百元以下的国内家庭来说，这个价格当然是天价。

But for the private capital owners who remained, this price was nothing, so the domestic sales of televisions soon achieved monthly sales of 100,000 units, which surprised the Vision management who had originally thought that the company relied mainly on exports. With the continuous development of the Asian market, they found that the market they originally thought was relatively small turned out to be at least two to three million units in size after adding the mainland market!

After achieving an almost direct balance between production and sales, the Vision board of directors, sensing huge opportunities in the Asian market, urged the company to continue cooperating with Dongda to build a second TV factory.

This time, they hope to locate the factory in Shanghai, so as to shorten the transportation time for sales to East Asia.

In the future, Guangzhou’s factories will mainly focus on Southeast Asia, South Asia and Europe.

Seeing the huge future prospects, Shanghai's second TV factory is also planned to produce tens of millions of units, but the initial production line may only be able to produce 500 million units.

Wait until the East Asian market gradually develops and then further increase production capacity.

According to the plan of the Vision board of directors, after the construction of the second TV factory in Dongda, the TV production capacity of Vision and its partners will now account for almost half of the world's total!

In this way, Vision will undoubtedly become the global leader in the future TV industry, taking up the best half of the TV industry pie.

After the launch of the new flagship, the prices of Vision's old products were reduced to form a product matrix, which further compressed the living space of black-and-white TVs.

Fortunately, the overall market is expanding, and although the share of black-and-white TVs has decreased, the total amount has not decreased. Manufacturers of black-and-white TVs can still survive and continue to expand the overall market of the entire TV industry. The new era where television is king has arrived faster than the historical time and space of the main world.

During this process, Ren Zhong had several in-depth exchanges with Mr. Chen. With Ren Zhong's guidance and the booming television industry, Mr. Chen persuaded his partners in Southeast Asia to start Asia Television in Asia, and cooperated with Mr. Situ to start two television media, Star TV, in North America.

Among them, Asia Television was first developed in Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia as a cable station, and then developed into a satellite TV station after Ren Zhong developed television satellites, covering the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Star TV in North America is deeply involved in the cable television business, and its future development direction is to become a giant integrating cable television and cable broadband networks.

Similarly, this media is also the voice of the Chinese people to the world, with the support of Ren Zhong. Mr. Chen has made tremendous achievements in the golden age of shipping development. Thanks to his foresight and guidance, the title of Asia's shipping king will surely fall to Mr. Chen.

For such giants who truly care about their homeland, our responsibility is to spare no effort to support their development, so that no matter what, we will always have strong allies overseas.

Just like now, Mr. Chen has begun to give back to the country in large quantities, investing heavily in infrastructure construction and labor-intensive industries. For him, as long as he does not lose money and can help the development of the mainland, that is support.

Mr. Chen has not considered withdrawing the funds invested in the mainland. If there is a profit in the future, he will continue to help develop the education direction.

It is precisely because of this two-way effort that both the mainland and Mr. Chen have developed very well.

The Qianlong Project and the development of overseas Chinese leaders have set a precedent for the opening up of the mainland to the outside world and have created an opportunity for the great development of the mainland's industry. (End of this chapter)
