My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 625 A Big Burden of Face

Indeed, I'm very busy.

Bai Lou was fine, and Dong Xueqing, despite her alarmingly large pregnant belly, still managed to keep things in perfect order.

All the upper floors have now been renovated into apartment-style floors for rent. Check-in is conducted according to hotel management procedures, with ID verification to prevent gambling, prostitution, and drug use.

Combined with the "Dongsheng Restaurant" on the top floor, it has become Jiangzhou's premier business office reception and negotiation center.

Even for daily work, you can eat cheaply and satisfactorily at the staff canteen on the seventh floor with your ticket.

It is definitely a well-known commercial information hub in the entire Jiangzhou and even the Southwest region.

Various shell companies and large and small trading organizations aspiring to start their own businesses have set up offices here.

Simply stating that it's the office address at number so-and-so in the White Building gives one considerable confidence.

Because Dongsheng Trading and other large companies in the surrounding area, such as the downstairs business, have jointly advocated that everyone should operate with integrity and compete fairly. Any bad apples who cheat, deceive, or engage in malicious competition will be expelled from the White Building.

Amidst the chaotic wave of nationwide business activity, it certainly stands out as a unique leader.

Moreover, it's clear that Dongsheng Commerce will not participate in these fragmented trades at all, but will only focus on its own sales channels and its own products. If there are excellent products, they can enter this system for sale, just like a giant blue whale swimming around, attracting many fish to follow and look for opportunities.

That's why Wei Dong rarely shows up; he just takes a quick look and leaves.

It's mainly in the electronics building.

Immediately mobilize manpower to go there and assist Lin Wangfu.

Take their sound card business and offer it to anyone willing to participate in this project. They're interested in port management software, and they also have a bunch of game software ideas, especially those related to advanced industries like wafer fabs and packaging plants. Team up and go there immediately!
More than sixty people left on the very first night.

It is said that dozens of people from Jinling Factory and Xizhou Factory also went there.

During the nearly two months that Wei Dong was away, Lao Huang and his team also used the Kungfu software package they had retrieved from the reverse engineering process, combined with their own original version, to revise and upgrade the Chinese versions of word processing, spreadsheet, and PowerPoint software.

In addition to providing free upgrades to previous users, for each subsequent computer sold, a commission of five yuan will be given for the three-piece software package that comes with the computer.

In addition, each member of the entire software team received an extra 10,000 yuan bonus, with the leader, Lao Huang, receiving 100,000 yuan, and even his deputy receiving 50,000 yuan.

The atmosphere inside the entire electronics building immediately went wild.

Even though outsiders are still saying that making atomic bombs is not as profitable as selling tea eggs, the Xishan Electronic Computer Industry Cluster has already seen that knowledge can generate high prices.

The focus on what kind of software X Computer can produce has ignited the enthusiasm of everyone involved in the industry.

People are working overtime every day, and a bunch of new software ideas are being contributed every day.

But right now, the most urgent needs are definitely dock management software, banking system software, computer education software for schools, and the tax engineering software that Weidong requested.

These few categories alone are enough to keep everyone engrossed in systematic engineering.

In fact, some people have already figured it out. They've worked with large teams on similar projects, and then they can figure out how to create the little software they've always wanted to make.

The procedures at this point are not particularly complicated.

There's only so much memory and storage space.

All sorts of ideas—library management software, poetry and prose software, engineering drawing software—can be cobbled together with just a few tools to see how they turn out.

Wei Dong happily accepted the money, ranging from tens to hundreds to thousands of yuan, saying he would show it to foreign engineers later.

So everyone tried their best to make an English version so that foreigners could read it.

In short, bringing Wei Dong back really livened up the atmosphere in the entire electronics building.

There's no need to worry about the hardware; everyone is eagerly watching the wafer fabs and packaging plants in Shenzhen, hoping to visit them once they're completed and in production.

Many people have been working anonymously on related projects for years, and they are all looking forward to seeing the most advanced production lines introduced to China.

However, a few days later, when the information about the Black Pearl was compiled, Fujian Construction was already working on it.

That area is a hometown of overseas Chinese, and it faces the Right Bank across the sea. There are various channels to access new things, especially to obtain a lot of main chips from the Right Bank to Japan.

Semiconductor device factories, radio component factories, and electronic instrument factories were established in clusters.

Combined with the research capabilities of university radio departments, various cordless phones with multiple functions and high-power handsets have been developed in the past two years.

As long as there is a landline, it can even connect to eight or nine handsets. These handsets can make "free" calls to each other, which is a trunking walkie-talkie system that Wei Dong knows about.

These are essential items for security teams.

Just as he said, Wei Dong should immediately abandon the idea of ​​focusing on this area and only send people to place large orders.

I ordered hundreds of sets, some costing thousands to several thousand yuan, as a way of supporting the efforts of these early adopters.

But instead of competing with them for market share, we also need to help observe market policies, since this is against the rules and we need to speak up when necessary.

Our company remains focused on developing its computer business.

Since the new 286 chip may be distributed domestically, we can differentiate between different scales and price tiers.

Computers used in schools, workplaces, and homes, especially those specifically designed for banking and tax accounting systems, must be differentiated in terms of both hardware and software.

By the end of August, more than 200 experts and technicians from relevant computer research institutes across the country had gathered at Pengzhen West Wharf.

They eagerly participated in the installation, assembly, and commissioning of equipment at the arriving wafer fab.

Of course, under the leadership of the Xishan Industrial Cluster, everyone was dressed in the most ordinary technical staff uniforms and mixed in. The only thing to do was to have the local engineering team arranged by the general manager. In the future, the recruitment of technical workers should also start from now on.

After confirming the details over the phone, Lin Wangfu was actually very grateful for the help he received from so many professionals.

The Citibank technical experts who arrived in Hong Kong one after another were mainly heading to dismantle the Felix Bin packaging plant, and Lin Wangfu was also heading to Felix Bin.

Old Fang quietly assigned Wei Dong's Mitsubishi and driver to this Singaporean technical expert who lived on the construction site. Chen Wenliang did indeed have a good reputation; he arrived on time and charged reasonable fees. When the port machinery was hoisting containers at the dock, Old Fang used the Black Pearl to call and said that the First and Fourth Ministries of Machinery Industry had secretly sent people over, eagerly demanding customs clearance.

Wei Dong joked about the customs clearance, saying that this was equipment for a foreign-invested factory, and the customs would handle the tariffs and their determination; they weren't going to take that risk.

Why should we save Citibank capitalists money on factory construction costs? That's money they should be paying.

Old Fang suddenly understood. His bold and decisive approach to developing the docks inevitably led to some actions that were taken without prior consultation, and he had been criticized several times.

In fact, according to the increasingly mature framework in twenty or thirty years, it means I do my own thing, but I follow the rules every step of the way.

Even if you want to exempt the imported equipment from tax, you still have to follow the procedures and submit a report. The customs will then proceed step by step, just like how Weidong has already built two industrial parks in the industrial zone, and all the declaration procedures and land details have been made watertight.

The problem is that the port industrial zone currently lacks approval authorities from relevant departments such as land and commerce.

The surrounding towns, distant counties, and even the city of Pengzhen have not yet had time to perfect this part of the government functions.

But I did what I was supposed to do. At most, it was a case of building while getting approvals. At least Lao Fang could get it directly to the ministerial level for filing or approval.

That's how I stopped having foot pain.

For example, Chen Wenliang contacted Qin Zhiming himself and went to Shanghai.

The cargo ship was delivered to Shanghai and loaded with cargo. Nearly 20 million US dollars in payment was made in Hong Kong. Qin Yuye allocated funds to Zhenhua Port Machinery, which then directly traded with overseas parts suppliers.

Qin Yuye then transferred foreign exchange to the HK accounts of the vacuum electronics factory and the joint venture computer factory, thus avoiding taking up Shanghai's coveted foreign exchange reserves.

Although relations between the parties are good now, no one is saying anything.

But many people are eyeing the foreign exchange earned by each computer exported overseas.

Who knows, they might be charged with with misappropriating foreign exchange reserves at any time and that would be the end of them.

Strive to make every step as impeccable as possible.

At least it shows that I know the rules.

But with such a large transfer of US dollars, shouldn't the port provide an explanation for making Wei Dong pay an additional nearly ten million US dollars?

It's impossible to give another 20% or 30% of the shares, but a separate private company can be established to manage, maintain, and lease the port machinery to the docks.

Does this bypass the slow operation of what appears to be a joint venture but is actually still driven by state-owned enterprise thinking, and instead use a genuine private company to drive each link in the chain?

It will not cause any loss of state-owned assets.

Old Fang kept saying yes on the phone.

The reason Wei Dong did this was certainly not for his personal gain, but rather a workaround to stimulate vitality under these circumstances.

However, if Wei Dong hadn't been allowed to "go his own way," Qin Yuye would have doubted whether this port machinery company could even fulfill the contract, given that it was just a makeshift team of a dozen or so people!

Where do you get 80% of the payment upfront when you sign a contract?

Wei Dong had to persuade her that these restructured factories were actually backed by the original large factories and their strength should not be underestimated.

Let's wait and see the results.

Qin Yuye finally asked how the pregnant woman was doing.

Wei Dong repeatedly said that everything was fine, and then the newlyweds quickly moved on from the topic.

Actually, I make phone calls almost every day.

Whether intentional or not, with so many things to coordinate, the scale of Jiangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen has indeed grown.

Heijing is still a bit short.

Even though everyone was urging him to come to Beijing.

Wei Dong is dragging this out; she's about to give birth.

It cannot be said explicitly yet.

He just got married to a Hong Kong businesswoman in Hong Kong. Even if you know it's a marriage of convenience, you can't say he's about to have a child here.

What others think, especially those in Heijing.

This made Wei Dong particularly concerned about this perception.

He goes to Jiangzhou City every few days to report on his work, all to express how close I am to the organization. Damn it, I just got back and can't leave.

Things are going well at the factory. Seeing him full of energy on the basketball court every day puts everyone at ease and invigorates them.

Then the construction of that commercial center in the northern district of Jiangzhou is proceeding at a rapid pace.

The Jiangzhou Cosmetics Factory vacated the land, and the employees rented apartments in the Jiangnan factory area. A few, as Wei Dong had suggested, wanted to participate in the work of this commercial center, so they continued to stay here.

I had Wei Dong go over and talk to them, and even took photos to show how busy I am. This is a very important pilot project for commercial system reform in Jiangzhou.

Only then were they able to barely suppress all of Pingjing's demands.

After all, Jin Zhuoqun's TV Media Building has been topped out and is currently undergoing exterior decoration. Lao Geng has already asked Lao Zhang to send people over to decorate the office floors of various companies in Pingjing.

Moreover, someone from over there reported back that Mr. Jin had already begun extensive renovations on the entire podium section.

Wei Dong had previously suggested that he could build a small shopping mall or something similar.

But now it seems this shrewd and calculating person has come up with a new idea.

Then they messed things up again.
