In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 205 Such an industry must stay in Chengdu! Chengdu Municipal Government wants to invest?

"What are you still standing there for? Go make some tea."

Xie Jianguo glared at Liu Mei, then called Wang Zheng and Luo Cheng as if nothing had happened, "Sit inside."

"Is this the legendary marriage to a Sichuanese woman and a life of misfortune?"

Luo Cheng came back to his senses and suddenly said something.

Xie Jianguo pretended not to hear, looked at him, and asked Wang Zheng: "What is this?"

"Uncle Xie, this is Luo Cheng, a comrade from our school's enterprise office."

Luo Cheng is still a student at the University of Posts and Telecommunications. He has not achieved any results, and his organizational relations and files are not in good condition, so he can be transferred directly to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Although he did not hold any position, Xie Wei gave him a lot of say in the development of the switch market because of his background and connections.

"Your school-enterprise office is still a makeshift team? The annual output value of subordinate units is tens of millions..."

Obviously, Xie Jianguo was dissatisfied with Luo Cheng's words "Marry a woman from Sichuan and Chongqing, and live a life of adversity."

"Uh~ Uncle Xie, you know, all units across the country are short of people. Although our school is a place to cultivate talents, other units don't have enough people to take, and the school can't keep many people."

Wang Zheng answered with an embarrassed look on his face.

He couldn't say in front of Xie Jianguo that in order to allow the School-Enterprise Office to operate independently and prevent the school leaders from treating the Office as a cash cow and constantly bleeding it, Xie Wei led to separation of personnel between the school and the School-Enterprise Office. Naturally, it was impossible to draw a large number of outstanding talents from the school to fill the office.

Luo Cheng looked at Xie Jianguo and couldn't help but be amazed: I met three people from the old Xie family, and they all have very different personalities. Xie Wei's mother just rode on Xie Wei's father and beat him, and she didn't say a word when she was scolded when there were outsiders; Xie Jianguo was just beaten by his wife, and he was not embarrassed at all when he was seen, and he instantly recovered to become Director Xie.

There is no need to mention Xie Wei's old silver coin.

Wang Zheng has come to his senses now. The terrible thing is that even though he knew that Xie Wei was using him, he was still willing to let him use him and run errands for him.

"Uncle Xie, Xie Wei and I are brothers. This time we are here for the switch production."

Luo Cheng directly stated his purpose.

"Switch? What is that?"

Xie Jianguo didn't know what a switch was, and Xie Wei never mentioned it to him.

It must be Xie Wei's idea that the two of them came to his house to find him. Some things need to be discussed privately, otherwise they can just go to the factory directly.

"Let's talk inside."

The two of them went to the main room and sat around the eight-immortals table. Liu Mei gave them some tea and then went out.

Luo Cheng and Wang Zheng talked about the current situation of the switch and the order placed by Harbin.

"Xie Wei's intention is to use this opportunity to take over the telephone exchange network business of the Rongcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau? This is probably not an easy task."

After listening to what Wang Zheng said, Xie Jianguo's expression became serious.

The Chengdu Post and Telecommunications Bureau had basically no dealings with the Hongguang Factory. How did it get such a huge business?
"The telephone exchange network of a city is not small, right?"

Xie Jianguo asked the two again.

"Chengdu is the provincial capital. Although its economy is not as good as the mountain city next door, it is a political and cultural center... Uncle Xie, Xie Wei said that we can use the switch production business to negotiate with the Chengdu Municipal Government. If our production factory is here and Chengdu's telephone switches are imported, why should we create GDP for this side?"

Xie Wei’s original words.

Wang Zheng and Luo Cheng were not clear about the situation in Rongcheng, and even if Xie Wei said it was okay, they didn't know either.

"This is a bit difficult."

Xie Jianguo frowned.

If it is a matter of the Industrial Bureau, there is no big problem. Just go directly to Wei Guobing. The Industrial Bureau will report to the province and issue a document, and everything will be fine.

The postal and telecommunications system has little to do with the Industrial Bureau, so they may not give it face.

"Uncle Xie, isn't the relationship between Hongfeng Factory and the Electronic Industry Bureau pretty good now?"

Looking at Xie Jianguo's expression, Wang Zheng sighed. Everything was the same as what Xie Wei said before they came here.

He now really wanted to know what Xie Wei's head looked like.

"You mean to ask the Electronic Industry Bureau and the Industry Bureau to go to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau together?"

Xie Jianguo was stunned.

"No, it was Xie Wei's idea. He meant to contact the Rongcheng Municipal Government. If the Rongcheng Municipal Government supports it, we will further expand our industrial layout here... If the Rongcheng Municipal Government does not support it..."

Wang Zheng emphasized.

Before returning, Xie Wei made everything very clear. If the Chengdu Municipal Government was unwilling to provide preferential treatment and various policies, he would not invest in Chengdu for the time being.

The current Hongfeng Factory is not a subsidiary of the school-enterprise system, but just a cooperative one.

However, in the newly established electronic equipment manufacturing plant, the School-Enterprise Office holds 51% of the shares and has absolute controlling rights.

Previously, we only produced CNC systems and related spare parts, but now we are adding the production of switches. We are actually two companies in different fields. Moreover, as the business expands, the company's investment will become larger and larger in the future.

No preferential treatment in Chengdu?

What are you still doing here?
"I have no objection to Xie Wei's suggestion. But I need to ask Director Wei's attitude."

Xie Jianguo did not promise anything just because it was his son's idea. Having served as the director of Hongfeng Factory for a long time, he became familiar with some of the ins and outs involved.

He also knew clearly what his son was thinking.

"Okay, Uncle Xie, this has to be done as soon as possible. Our cooperation with Harbin has just started. There will be no problem with the school's training workshop production in the short term, but it will definitely not work over a long period of time."

Wang Zheng didn't waste any words.

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

During the entire process, Luo Cheng had almost no presence.

"Leaving now? Eat first, then leave. I just bought some vegetables and meat!"

As soon as I walked into the yard, I met Liu Mei who was coming back with vegetables.

"Auntie, we have finished discussing what needs to be discussed with Uncle Xie. We still have other matters to discuss... We will bother you another day."

Wang Zheng doesn't want to eat at Lao Xie's house.

When Du Guowang and I came to pick up Xie Wei, Du Guowang got angry because he had eaten fried egg noodles. What was the result?

Wang Zheng ate it himself and sold himself to Xie Wei.

"Wang Zheng still has things to do. Oh, I have to go to the bureau, so I won't be back for dinner..."

Xie Jianguo, who was following behind, had no intention of inviting Wang Zheng and Wu Tao to dinner. Having been a factory director for a long time, he knew very well that the reception at home could not be compared with that outside.

He also didn't want Liu Mei to know too much about work.

“I’ve bought all the food.”

Liu Mei was speechless.

But in the end, Wang Zheng and Luo Cheng did not stay at home for dinner. Instead, Xie Jianguo personally drove the factory jeep to take them to the guesthouse of the Industrial Bureau and asked them to wait for news while he went to find Wei Guobing.

After being promoted from deputy director, Wei Guobin has done a lot of practical work. Thanks to the flourishing domestic and international business of Hongfeng Factory, almost no one refutes what he says in the Industrial Bureau.

Everything was handled very smoothly. Not only Chengdu, but even the relevant departments in Bashu Province gave preferential treatment.

Wei Guobing knew who brought him such treatment.

Xie Jianguo has many privileges with Director Wei. Being able to visit him in Wei Guobin’s office at any time without making an appointment is just one of his privileges.

"What? Tax incentives, policy preferences, loan priority, and the Chengdu Post and Telecommunications Bureau's telephone exchange network must use HIT equipment?"

Xie Jianguo put forward various demands, and Wei Guobing suddenly stood up from his chair.

He looked at Xie Jianguo in disbelief, "Do you know what you are talking about? Rongcheng is the provincial capital! Do you know how important the entire Rongcheng's telephone network is?" He didn't understand switches.

After Xie Jianguo’s introduction, Wei Guobing felt that the request was a bit excessive.

"Old Xie, Hongfeng Factory already has many privileges. If it's just the front part, it's not a problem. But the business at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau..."

Wei Guobin frowned and looked at Xie Jianguo seriously.

“We need to ask the municipal government. The attitude of the Harbin Institute of Technology’s school-enterprise office is very clear. If Chengdu can’t offer better treatment, they will choose to build factories in other cities.”

Xie Jianguo spoke up.

"What? Didn't we agree before that the technology transfer would be handed over to Hongfeng Factory?"

Wei Guobing was stunned.

This was agreed upon before Xie Wei left. Harbin Institute of Technology's technology should be handed over to Hongfeng Factory for transformation as much as possible.

The Industrial Bureau gave all the preferential treatment it could.

"It's a cooperation if we hand it over to Hongfeng Factory. The electronic equipment manufacturing plant we established can't handle the CNC system business... Harbin Institute of Technology certainly doesn't want to put all its eggs in one basket."

This was proposed by Xie Jianguo out of selfish motives.

CNC systems and programmable switches are in different fields and use different technologies.

The voice of two large companies is completely different from that of one large company.

"How about we talk to Director Liang first? The program-controlled switches are under the jurisdiction of the Electronic Industry Bureau, and our Industry Bureau doesn't have much say."

Wei Guobin did not refuse directly.

Xie Jianguo appears to be honest on the surface, but in reality, that is not the case.

Since the other party has proposed it, if I object, who knows what trouble this old guy will come up with, especially since Harbin Institute of Technology is behind him!
"Program-controlled switch? Do you have the technology?"

Liang Hong looked at Xie Jianguo and Wei Guobing in amazement, "This is cutting-edge technology. The Post and Telecommunications Bureau is currently negotiating with international telecommunications giants!"

Liang Hong is well-informed.

The advanced program-controlled switching system is led by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, with further communication with the subordinate Posts and Telecommunications Administration. However, this is a cutting-edge technology in the field of electronic engineering that the country urgently needs.

"Harbin Institute of Technology has already developed it, but it's just an entry-level 256-port programmable switch..."

Xie Jianguo directly told the situation that Wang Zheng introduced.

"Are they just building a factory? Are they not planning to set up a research and development center here?"

Liang Hong asked anxiously.

Thanks to the Third Front Construction, Chengdu has made great progress in the foundation of the electronics industry. However, compared with the mountain city that served as the wartime capital during the Anti-Japanese War and to which various industries were moved, Chengdu still has a considerable gap.

The industrial base of Chengdu cannot compare with that of mountain cities.

As a provincial capital, it is somewhat embarrassing in the economic and industrial fields.

In terms of heavy industry, we cannot compare with the big brother in Northeast China; in terms of light industry, we cannot compare with the Pearl River Delta; in terms of electronics industry, we cannot compare with the Yangtze River Delta...

Not to mention there is a mountain city next to it!
Chengdu's electronics industry has been unable to find a breakthrough in its development. Previously, the numerical control system of Harbin Institute of Technology gave the Chengdu Electronic Industry Bureau a direction, but the foundation in this area was too poor and it was impossible to form a large-scale industry.

Now here comes a program-controlled switch!

What a great opportunity.

"They didn't mention the R&D center. If the factory is here, the technology will definitely be tilted here. After all, Harbin Institute of Technology is just a university for training talents, not a technology R&D center..."

Xie Jianguo spoke up.

"This project must stay in our Chengdu. Director Xie, Director Wei, let's go find Secretary Xu and Mayor Huang together."

Without any hesitation, Liang Hong felt that this was a huge opportunity for the development of Chengdu's electronics industry.

Without access to the sea and not close to the market, the electronics industry in Chengdu, located in the southwest, must focus on something if it wants to make achievements in the country's reform and opening up.

Without any hesitation, Liang Hong, Wei Guobin and Xie Jianguo found the relevant leaders in Chengdu.

"Secretary Xu, Mayor Huang, this is a huge opportunity. Although Chengdu has a foundation in the electronics industry, it cannot compare with Shanghai... With the production business of programmable switches, it can definitely develop into an industrial cluster..."

Liang Hong excitedly introduced the project's prospects to Party Secretary Xu Hongxia and Mayor Huang Rongqiu, "No matter how much it costs, I think we must keep this project in Chengdu."

"Comrade Liang Hong, don't be impatient. Talk slowly. We don't understand the situation yet."

Huang Rongqiu was speechless for a while.

How much will it cost if we don’t even know the situation?

It also requires support from superiors, right?

"The situation is like this..."

Xie Jianguo once again served as commentator.

"Tax incentives, loans, policies, orders... these are not a problem. The municipal government offers these incentives when attracting investment. But the question is, what is the situation with this project at Harbin Institute of Technology?"

Xu Hongxia also asked with a frown.

Chengdu is located in the hinterland of southwest China, and its results in attracting investment have always been poor, and it cannot even compare with the neighboring mountain city.

They have a better foundation!
"Also, these are just assemblies, there is no production of core components..."

Obviously, Huang Rongqiu is not completely ignorant. "It's like the CNC system of Hongfeng Factory. The production is done here, but the core is somewhere else."

“What if they build a chip factory in Chengdu?”

Xie Jianguo's words were like a bolt from the blue.

"really?"

Not only Huang Rongqiu, but Xu Hongxia was also stunned.

Chip factory!
That is the core of the electronics industry.

Liang Hong looked at Xie Jianguo in surprise: This old guy dares to brag about anything in order to fool the city leaders!

"real!"

Xie Jianguo was also unsure. Xie Wei had mentioned it before, but the chip production factory of Harbin Institute of Technology was in Shanghai, and the various supporting facilities there were incomparable to those in Chengdu.

"Although the infrastructure in Shanghai is good, when the Japanese integrated circuit industry came in last year, they wanted to establish a joint venture based on the Huafeng Electronics Factory under Harbin Institute of Technology..."

The more Xie Jianguo talked, the more he believed that this was true.

who cares.

Let’s get the policies first.

It would be best to move all the business of Harbin Institute of Technology's Enterprise Office to Chengdu, which would be most in line with his wishes.

By that time, all the sons and daughters will be back.

What difference does it make whether you hand it over to the country or not?
silence.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire small conference room.

Everyone is quickly thinking about whether cooperation can be achieved and how cooperation can be more beneficial to the economic development of Chengdu.

"Comrade Jianguo, if the municipal government and Harbin Institute of Technology jointly establish a company, will they agree?"

It was unknown how much time had passed before Huang Rongqiu asked Xie Jianguo in a serious tone.

In his opinion, only by combining with Harbin Institute of Technology can more of Harbin Institute of Technology's technology be settled in Chengdu.
