Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1201
After the visit, Duan Yun treated Hou Weigui graciously in the private room of the factory cafeteria that night.

Witnessed by many key members of the R&D center, Duan Yun and Hou Weigui signed a contract to jointly develop products. Duan Yun will provide chips and other electronic components, and Hou Weigui will be responsible for the development of caller ID phonophones. This is also a chip factory project. After opening, the first supply contract signed.

In addition to Duan Yun and his wife, Zhao Xuewu, Huang Lingyi and others are also very happy, because no matter what project the company develops, the ultimate goal is to gain market recognition, and this cooperation with ZTE Semiconductor is also a step forward. The first step for the chip factory to develop the domestic market.

And a few days later, at the Xi'an Hotel in Shenzhen, Hou Weigui was the host, Duan Yun paid for it, and invited several of his old colleagues in Shenzhen to have a meal together.

The five old friends that Hou Weigui invited this time were all members of the chip research and development team of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Start a business in Shenzhen.

However, the chip research and development technology they have been cultivating for half their lives is completely a dragon-slaying skill here in Shenzhen. Entrepreneurship is far from being successful with technology, and they are just ordinary technicians. They have no connections, no funds, no official background, and they are unwilling. Lower your profile and start from the bottom, so people like them have almost no chance of success in the current Shenzhen.

Even relying on technology for food, in the huge Shenzhen, there is not a single state-owned enterprise or private enterprise engaged in chip research and development, and even for private enterprises, their R&D departments are all abroad, and domestic joint ventures can only produce some low-end electronic products. There is no need for experts in chip research and development, but in the end, relying on their impressive academic qualifications and rich experience in state-owned enterprises, they finally found jobs in several joint ventures in Shenzhen, but they are not doing their old jobs, and some even just As an electrician in the factory, the monthly salary is about 300-500 yuan, which is more than enough in Shenzhen as a whole.

As for Duan Yun's reputation, they had heard about it before. They knew that Duan Yun had made a fortune selling tape recorders and Walkmans, and Tianyin Electronics Factory was also a well-known private enterprise in Shenzhen.

And when they learned that Duan Yun's electronics factory could provide technicians like them with a monthly salary of 1000 yuan, several people present were surprised. They had never thought that a private company could offer such a high salary. salary.

Seeing that these people were a little tempted, Duan Yun immediately said that if they were willing to work in their electronics factory, they would start with a monthly salary of [-] yuan, give them a house as a gift, and take the bus to pick them up. So when the wine was half drunk, several people present expressed their willingness to resign from the current company and join Duan Yun's chip research and development team.

Compared with the time when Huang Lingyi was hired, it was a lot of trouble, but this time it was almost effortless to hire several experts from the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Of course, apart from the high salary offered by Duan Yun, there was also Hou Weigui who coordinated and helped. It was only in the end that Duan Yun gained a few more "generals".

Duan Yun now has experience in recruiting talents. He can talk to them about his ideals and feelings, and at the same time show enough respect to them. Of course, the most important thing is to let them live a decent and prosperous life. That's the only way. In order to recruit truly outstanding talents.

While Duan Yun was desperately recruiting, several executives from Shenzhen Electronics Group also gathered in another hotel room in Shenzhen for drinks and dinner.

"Today, let's raise our glasses together to welcome Director Ma's triumphant return!"

At this time, at the dining table in the private room, Xu Fuguo and the directors of several other subordinate enterprises held up their wine glasses and toasted Ma Fuyuan who was sitting in the innermost.

"Just one drink. I didn't drink less when I went to Xiamen for a meeting this time. It made my stomach feel uncomfortable all the time. Please don't see outsiders." Seeing this, Ma Fuyuan picked up his wine glass and clinked with everyone.

"Director Ma, did the leaders of the meeting department in Xiamen give you any tasks this time?" Xu Fuguo asked Ma Fuyuan after putting down his wine glass.

"This meeting is mainly a seminar on the development strategy of integrated circuits. The Ministry proposed that during the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" period, we should vigorously develop research on domestic chip technology research, and asked our company to also allocate some R&D personnel to carry out research on chips. Technical research..." Ma Fuyuan said lightly.

"Research on domestic chips..." Hearing this, Tian Song, the director of Chunmei Electronics Factory sitting across from him, said: "Who still uses domestic chips now? Aren't they all imported directly? They are cheap and have good performance, so it takes a lot of effort." Well?"

"Yes, in the past two years, we can buy chips in Shenzhen much more easily. We can buy as many chips as we want, and the price is also very cheap, which is much more affordable than domestic chips..." A factory manager sitting on the other side also said.

In fact, by 1987, smuggling of electronic components had become rampant, even semi-public.

At that time, China adopted the "import license system", and the import of electronic components must have a quota approval document. It is precisely because of this that Duan Yun wanted to import some core electronic chips from abroad a few years ago, and he had to go through gray companies like Xiamen Yuanhua Company. Channels are expensive, but since last year, some foreign advanced electronic components and chips can be easily bought in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen Electronics Building was built in 1982. At the beginning, it only sold some regular domestic electronic components. However, after several years of development, Shenzhen Electronics Building has quickly become a distribution center for smuggling electronic components from Hong Kong to mainland China.

At that time, in Shenzhen Building, whether it was a clothing reseller, a businessman who opened a restaurant, or even some "daring" employees of a state-owned factory, they all sold various electronic components in private.

Hong Kong itself does not have an electronic industry, nor does it research any devices. All electronic products are from the United States, Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan, but the main market is in China. It is equivalent to dumping the most advanced things in the world to mainland China. Hong Kong Earning huge profits from it is all about taking advantage of the location and being a second-hand dealer.

However, these smuggled electronic chip products have a great impact on mainland Chinese companies. The state-owned electronics factories in the mainland have invested millions of dollars to update equipment, and the electronic components developed can be bought in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen for only a few yuan. Well, the price is low, and the state-owned electronics factories are naturally unable to compete. As a result, many domestic electronics factories went bankrupt because they could not recover the huge investment. This is also one of the important reasons that led to the interruption of domestic chip research and development...
