Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1065 Commencement Ceremony
In mid-September, Shenzhen Chunmei Electronics Factory beat gongs and drums, and flags were waving.

For Chunmei Electronics Factory and Shenzhen Electronics Group, today is a historic day. Under the leadership and participation of Ma Fuyuan, the general manager of the group company, Shenzhen Group introduced the first foreign production line after its establishment. The second-hand Japanese tape recorder production line introduced by Sanyo has been installed day and night for more than two months, and now the production line has finally entered into production.

Compared with other electronics manufacturers, Japan Sanyo Electronics is very strong. It is a Japanese electronics giant that can be tied with Panasonic and Sony. It has strong strength in the production of Japanese home appliances. Its refrigerator motors and other equipment are exported to more than 110 countries around the world. The country has a high reputation and status in the Japanese home appliance industry.

In 1984, Sanyo entered the Chinese market and established Guangdong Sanyo Air Conditioner and Huaqiang Sanyo Electronics Joint Venture Company to lay out the Chinese home appliance market in advance.

Generally speaking, those who are willing to sell their second-hand production lines to the mainland are some second-rate and third-rate Japanese companies, and first-rate Japanese companies like Sanyo, Sony, and Panasonic, they are very strict about the confidentiality of product technology. The obsolete production lines will also use technology and equipment as shares to establish joint ventures, and it will not be easy to transfer the entire production line.

The reason why Japan’s Sanyo Corporation agreed to transfer their tape recorder production line this time is mainly due to Ma Fuyuan, because many companies under the Shenzhen Electronics Group are suppliers of Japan’s Sanyo’s joint venture manufacturers in the mainland, and his own identity Special, so after weighing the pros and cons, Sanyo agreed to sell a second-hand production line to Chunmei Electronics Factory under Shenzhen Electronics Group.

In fact, Sanyo’s manufacturers in Shenzhen and Guangzhou also have joint ventures that produce electronic products. However, since the Special Zone only allows the joint venture’s products to be exported, and their products are not allowed to enter the mainland market, Sanyo’s willingness to sell this production line is also for the sake of Maximize benefits from Mainland China.

Moreover, to use this tape recorder production line, some key components still need to be imported from Japan. This is actually a conspiracy adopted by Sanyo Electronics, which can also ensure that they can continuously obtain profits from mainland China, not just a hammer buy and sell.

But in any case, it is a very big victory for Ma Fuyuan to be able to introduce a relatively advanced tape recorder production line from the Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Group, and it can be regarded as a good start since the establishment of the group company.

In addition to Ma Fuyuan, Xu Fuguo, and the heads of the subsidiaries of Shenzhen Electronics Group, many leading cadres from the SZ City Government also came to the platform to join the ceremony for the new production line of Chunmei Electronics Factory.

The most important person among them is Li Hao, the new mayor who just came to Shenzhen and replaced the retired former mayor Liang Xiang.

In August of this year, Li Hao, who was nearly sixty years old, had a major turning point in his life. He was appointed by the central government to serve as a senior official in Guangdong Province and the mayor of SZ City. So far, he has stood at the forefront of Shenzhen's reform tide.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the reform and opening up, Li Hao participated in the formulation of the national policy of "opening up to the outside world and invigorating the inside". Especially after 1979, he directly participated in some construction work of special economic zones. He participated in the drafting of all important documents. Therefore, before Li Hao came to Shenzhen to become the mayor, he had a certain relationship with Shenzhen.

After Li Hao came to Shenzhen in August, he conducted 8 days of investigation and research and decided to establish a mayor's office meeting system. At the beginning of this month, he held a mayor's office meeting and proposed to establish four new government agencies: Foreign Exchange Adjustment Center, SZ City Investment Management Company, City Planning Commission and Supervision Bureau.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, it established an export-oriented economy, but the dual-track foreign exchange system restricted the normal development of import trade. At that time, the most urgent reform in Shenzhen was to establish foreign exchange trading institutions and ban the black market.

In addition to the restructuring of government agencies, Li Hao also attaches great importance to the development of local enterprises in Shenzhen, and Shenzhen Electronics Group, as the largest state-owned electronics group enterprise in Shenzhen, has attracted great attention from him. This time, he participated in the launching ceremony of the new production line of Chunmei Electronics Factory. It also shows its support for Shenzhen Electronics Group.

"Respected leaders, ladies and gentlemen, good morning! Today is an important day worth remembering. We ushered in the official commissioning of the new production line of Chunmei Electronics Factory. This time, our Chunmei Electronics Factory can introduce this advanced production line. Regardless of the strong support of the leaders of the group company and the municipal government, here we all the employees of the factory would like to express our most sincere greetings and heartfelt thanks to all the leaders..."

The first person to speak on the stage was Tian Song, the director of Chunmei Electronics Factory. Today he was wearing a neat suit, and he looked very excited.

A crybaby has milk to drink.

Since the strong rise of Tianyin Electronics Factory caused the recorders produced by Chunmei Electronics Factory to be seriously unsalable, Tian Song has been seeking various financial and technical supports for the past few months. For this reason, he has approached Ma Fuyuan and Xu Fu Guo and others "cry" about the difficulties and despair faced by Chunlei Electronics Factory, and repeatedly stated that if they do not get the support of other companies, their Chunmei Electronics Factory will be "forced" to withdraw from the group company.

It was due to Tian Song’s unremitting private “efforts” and the fact that Chunmei Electronics Factory itself is an important state-owned enterprise under the Shenzhen Electronics Group Corporation that Ma Fuyuan finally decided to introduce a Japanese tape recorder production line to Chunmei Electronics Factory .

"...The mayor of our SZ city, Li Hao, will speak next, everyone is welcome!"

After Tian Song finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene, and the mayor Li Hao who was sitting in the front row also took the microphone from Tian Song.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Hao. I was just appointed by the central government in August this year to serve as the mayor of our SZ city. Some people may not be familiar with me, but it doesn't matter. I hope that in the future work, I can work with you. All of you here have become friends, and we will jointly push our Shenzhen electronics industry to a new height..."

Before Li Hao finished speaking, he was interrupted by the warm applause at the scene. Many leaders sitting in the front row stood up and applauded one after another, expressing their respect and support for Li Hao.

"...In my opinion, Shenzhen is a land full of miracles. As the bridgehead of reform and opening up, the central government has always paid close attention to Shenzhen. It is also my honor to be the mayor of SZ City." Li Hao After a pause, he continued: "For a long time, our SZ city government has regarded the electronics industry as a priority development direction. Shenzhen Electronics Group, as the leader of our Shenzhen electronics industry, will also make more and more contributions to our city's electronics industry in the future. The greater the contribution, here, our SZ municipal government will also fully support the operation and development of our Shenzhen Electronics Group, provide all necessary support and assistance as much as possible, and strive to make our Shenzhen Electronics Group a leader in the national electronics industry. A benchmark and role model!"
