Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1134 Gains and Losses
At noon the next day, Duan Yun sent Fujio and his translator to the airport.

Fujio had already bought the air ticket for today's return trip. In fact, from the very beginning, he only gave himself one day to investigate Duan Yun's company, just to see if Duan Yun is really as capable as he said.

Although it is impossible to see the real cash flow of Duan Yun's enterprise, at least Duan Yun does have a factory in Shenzhen, and the factory is not bad. In addition, what surprised him most is that Duan Yun himself is very knowledgeable in microelectronics technology. After a day of contact, the two have become confidants.

On the way to the airport, Fujio once again assured Duan Yun that once Toshiba's top management responded, he would call Duan Yun as soon as possible.

In the end, Duan Yun sent Fujio to the entrance of the airport.

"Are you planning to import a video recorder production line from Toshiba?" After watching Fujio and others leave, Cheng Qingyan turned to her husband and asked.

Cheng Qingyan couldn't understand what the "Flash" flash memory chip that her husband and Fujio were talking about before, because her husband had been talking to him about the introduction of Japanese video recorder production lines some time ago, so she thought that this time Fujio came to visit the electronics factory, It was for the introduction of a VCR production line.

"It's not about the VCR production line?" Duan Yun shook his head, only to hear him continue: "I want to introduce the chip technology newly developed by Fujio, and set up a joint venture in our country."

"A joint venture?"

"That's right, Fujio and his Toshiba company are responsible for developing the technology, and we invested in the introduction of their production line, each with a 50% stake..." Duan Yun said.

"How much money do we need to invest?" Cheng Qingyan asked.

"At least two to three hundred million..." Duan Yun said with a frown.

"Two or three hundred million!?" Cheng Qingyan was taken aback.

"Two or three hundred million may not be enough. If they provide a relatively advanced production line, they will need at least three to fifty million US dollars. However, the specific price has not yet been determined, and we do not necessarily have to introduce their full set of production lines. Some equipment should be able to Localization." Duan Yun said.

"5000 million U.S. dollars..." Hearing this, Cheng Qingyan felt that her husband seemed a little crazy, so Liu Mei frowned slightly and said, "Duan Yun, even if we sell our factory, we can't get 5 million U.S. dollars. Besides, What kind of production line can be worth 000 million U.S. dollars? We are already making a lot of money producing Walkmans, but the entire set of production equipment only costs more than 5 million U.S. dollars. Could it be that the production of this kind of chips is more profitable than Walkmans?"

Cheng Qingyan obviously couldn't imagine what kind of production line would be worth 5 million US dollars. The Japanese tape recorder production line he introduced before and the subsequent equipment upgrades cost a total of more than 000 million US dollars. In addition, the video recorder that Duan Yun planned to introduce earlier For the production line, the total budget is only 300 million US dollars. For Cheng Qingyan, the figure of 600 million US dollars is an unimaginable astronomical figure!

There are also high-performance chips, which are not widely used in the domestic home appliance industry at present. Except for some high-end electrical appliances produced by joint ventures, ordinary enterprises still use very common simple semiconductor raw materials such as diodes and triodes. The "Flash" flash memory chip is a completely new product that has just been designed. Unlike tape recorders, walkmans and video recorders, products that have already passed the test of the market, so in Cheng Qingyan's opinion, whether this chip product can be sold in the future Going out is still unknown.

In fact, not only Cheng Qingyan, but also electronic manufacturers in European and American countries, and even Toshiba, where Fujio works, are not optimistic about this flash memory chip technology, because this technology is slightly avant-garde and has not passed the test of the market, so no one is interested in him. Doubts are reasonable.

"If this joint venture can be negotiated, I guarantee that it will be very profitable in the future." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "In addition, this is a very rare opportunity. If we can grasp this opportunity, In the future, our Tianyin Electronics Factory may become the strongest electronics company in China, and even become a multinational giant..."

"Duan Yun, I still hope that we can develop step by step in a down-to-earth manner." Cheng Qingyan bit her lip lightly, and then said: "I think our electronics factory is doing well now, with tens of millions of profits every month. It's a well-known company in China, we don't need to take such a big risk, invest so much money in it, and it's a joint venture..."

What Cheng Qingyan said is very clear, that is, she is very satisfied with the development of Tianyin Electronics Factory. As for becoming the strongest in the country or even becoming a multinational giant, these things are too far away in his opinion, and they are not at all. In reality, there is absolutely no need to bet so big.

"Qingyan, this world is developing very fast, and it is an era of technological explosion. If we miss this opportunity, God will not give us the choice to do it again..." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: " You think 5 million US dollars is a very large number, but it is actually the cheapest entry ticket to become a multinational giant. If we don’t seize this opportunity, we want to enter this industry again in the future, 000 million or even $5 billion may not be able to succeed..."

"But we really don't have that much money..." Cheng Qingyan said.

"Fujio will discuss with the senior management of their company after returning to Japan this time. It is still unknown whether the negotiation can be completed. In addition, the establishment of a joint venture will go through very tedious investigations and negotiations. This is also a very time-consuming and laborious thing. We will soon be talking about the end of this year, so we still have time..." Duan Yun said.

"But how do we engage in foreign exchange now? Our company only has 300 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and we are still planning to introduce the production line of video recorders."

"The VCR production line can be left behind. If I really can't get foreign exchange, I will find a way to exchange a lot from the black market at a high price. If the money is not enough, I will use our factory as a mortgage and borrow some money from the bank." Duan Yun said with a frown. .

"You're really crazy..." Cheng Qingyan shook her head and said.

"You said that to me before, but I succeeded every time." Duan Yun said with a slight smile.

"In the past, your approach was reasonable. Tape recorders, video recorders, and Walkmans are all hot-selling products in China, but this time is different. No one has ever sold this kind of chip before, and we have nothing to do with this kind of product. I know, and it's still a joint venture..." When Cheng Qingyan said this, she was a little emotional.

"Trust me one last time!" At this moment, Duan Yun put his hand on his wife's shoulder and said, "We are still very young, and this is the biggest capital. With my ability, as long as I don't die, there will always be a bright future. Even if it fails this time, in the worst case, we can still go back to work in the factory, just like when I first met you, we had nothing and we had nothing to lose..."

"You said so lightly, can we really go back..." A bitterness flashed across Cheng Qingyan's face, but she didn't say anything anymore...
