Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1398
After leaving Tianyin Group, Kono and Fujio Masuoka boarded a plane on the second day and returned to Japan.

It can be said that this time when Duan Yun and Kono met, they broke up again on bad terms, and they didn't talk speculatively. Since Kono's goal had not been achieved, it was meaningless for him to stay in Shenzhen, so he naturally chose to leave.

However, Duan Yun didn't care about this. In his opinion, the conditions offered by Toshiba seem very attractive, but if a new contract with Toshiba is really signed, then Tianyin Group's future technological development lifeline will definitely be firmly established. In the hands of Toshiba Group, this is absolutely unacceptable to Duan Yun.

In the second week after Kono left, delegations from several American technology companies also began to visit Shenzhen.

According to the agreement between Duan Yun and Li Hao, after the American delegation arrived in Shenzhen, they were warmly taken to the guest house of the SZ Municipal Government immediately. That night, the mayor Li Hao personally accompanied them and introduced Shenzhen to them. He especially needs the current development and policies, and promises that if they are willing to invest in Shenzhen, they will be given very favorable policies, including preferential land taxation. The attitude is very sincere.

For any domestic city in the 80s, attracting investment was a matter of great importance to the local government. In order to attract foreign investment, some local governments often gave foreign investors very large discounts, and some places even provided land for free. In terms of taxation There are layers of discounts, as long as you are willing to come, everything is easy to talk about.

As far as Li Hao is concerned, in fact, there are already a lot of joint ventures in Shenzhen, and sometimes they don’t even need the invitation of the SZ city government. Many foreign companies will take the initiative to come here to invest and set up factories. This is the location and policies here. Advantages, especially the proximity to Hong Kong, and the Shekou Port, are all important factors that can attract foreign businessmen.

But this group of American delegations is different. They are not ordinary foreign manufacturers, but multinational giants with high reputation in the world, including companies like Hewlett-Packard and IBM. If they can set up a joint venture in Shenzhen, they can bring How much money comes in is second, and the most important thing is to bring some advanced technology, which also plays a very important role in improving Shenzhen's overall scientific and technological strength.

Or in other words, for Li Hao, he has a clear understanding that the funds brought by foreign businessmen can only bring short-term vitality to Shenzhen, while high technology will bring lasting prosperity to Shenzhen. It can even be said that technology companies It is the foundation of a city. An excellent technology company is far better than 100 processing factories or assembly factories. A technology company like Tianyin Group has a limited production capacity, but it can rely on a relatively high-tech company. High-quality products drive dozens of hundreds of private companies to develop together, and even drive the development of the entire industrial zone. This is the real influence of high-tech companies.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hao attaches great importance to this group of American delegations, and even set up a special reception team, with himself as the team leader, regarding the tour route, reception specifications, and promised preferential policies for their own American delegation. , A complete plan was formulated in all aspects, and it took 6-7 hours just to hold a meeting and discuss. This shows how much Li Hao attaches great importance to the visit of the American manufacturer.

On Monday afternoon, Duan Yun was called to the mayor's office, and Li Hao explained some tasks to Duan Jun face to face, including the details of organizing the factory visit this time.

What makes Duan Yun feel dumbfounded is that the city government has made it very cumbersome to visit a foreign manufacturer. First, a reception ceremony will be held, and then the city government will drive the representatives of these American manufacturers to visit several industrial areas in Shenzhen. Duan Yun's Tianyin Group became the "finale" of this visit. For this reason, the city government also specially arranged for Shenzhen No. [-] Primary School in Bagualing to cooperate with the reception work, and let the school's drum team and some students wear white shirts , blue trousers, holding flowers, closed all morning, specially welcome foreign guests at the entrance of Tianyin Group.

"I really didn't expect that there are so many American technology companies that want to visit your Tianyin Group..." Li Hao was a little emotional at this time, only to hear him continue: "American Essex Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Semiconductor, IBM, AMD...these are all big fish, if any one of them sets up a joint venture factory in Shenzhen, it will have a big boost to our high-tech industry in Shenzhen..."

"I will try my best to cooperate with the city government's arrangements. Mayor Li, we will do whatever you need us to do." Duan Yun also said hastily.

"Just follow the plan I gave you. This is the reception schedule." Li Hao handed a printed reception itinerary to Duan Yun, and then said: "Xiao Duan, I have I am not good at technical matters, I have always been curious, what new products does your factory produce? Can it attract the attention of so many large American companies?"

"It is a storage chip, which is unique in the world. The performance of this chip is 10 times faster than the most advanced memory chip in the world. It is mainly used for computer data storage." Duan Yun A brief introduction.

"So that's the case, no wonder these American manufacturers are more or less related to computers..." Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and he continued: "According to you, this kind of chip is so advanced, so the potential of exporting It must be very big, right?"

Li Hao doesn't know anything about chip technology. As the mayor of SZ City, he is most concerned about attracting investment and earning foreign exchange through exporting products. Because Shenzhen is developing faster and faster, foreign exchange funds are needed. The gap is also getting bigger and bigger. If there is not enough funds and foreign exchange, many plans formulated by the SZ city government cannot be implemented at all.

"The international market potential of this chip is huge, but mass production of this chip still faces some difficulties." Duan Yun thought for a while and said.

"What's the difficulty? Just say it!" Li Hao said very simply.

"The main problem is that the production capacity of our Tianyin chip factory is not enough. At present, there is only one production line of Toshiba. Although we have obtained 4 advanced lithography machines through patriotic businessmen, these four lithography machines alone are not enough. Form a complete production line." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "At present, the other equipment that makes up the chip production line cannot be bought from abroad, so I hope that Mayor Li can coordinate with your superiors and let them provide us with Some localized equipment, in this way, the production capacity problem can be solved..."
