Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1406
In the 80s, it was very difficult for any Chinese company to go abroad and promote its products to the world. corporate dream.

In the 80s, the first company in mainland China to go global was the universal joint factory in Hangzhou.

As early as the early 80s, Lu Guanqiu realized that going to the world is both a battlefield and a destination. "In the long run, what companies ultimately face is the international market."

As the first component production line to be exported to the mainstream of the United States, the first to have foreign economic, foreign trade, and foreign affairs rights, and the first township enterprise to acquire a listed company in the United States, Wanxiang is following the pace of reform and opening up, moving forward all the way, from "" Fields" went out to the world.

However, apart from universal joint factories, there are very few other mainland enterprises that "go overseas". Most of the export enterprises can only produce products with low value-added processing and product profits. In the eyes of manufacturers in developed countries in the world, Chinese products are just Synonymous with low-end cheap.

If Duan Yun wants to occupy a place in the international PC industry, how to take the first step is very critical, and it can even be said to be related to the long-term strategy of Tianyin Group's future development.

IBM is currently in a stage of decline. Its once dominant position in the PC computer industry has been seriously challenged, and its shipments have also decreased year after year. However, there is no doubt that a thin camel is bigger than a horse. As an open Sexual platform, although he is not as profitable as before, but its influence in the entire PC industry is still great.

If the NAND flash memory chip developed by Duan Yun can be applied to IBM computers, it means that the strength of Tianyin Chip Factory has been recognized and affirmed. If you fall behind and are forced out, the only thing you can do is to use the same chip.

This is also an important reason why Duan Yun would rather make less money and license this chip technology to IBM at a low price, in order to make Tianyin Group famous in the world through IBM.

Moreover, for Duan Yun, the three-micron process NAND flash memory chip currently developed is only a transitional product, and the greatest value lies in training the R&D team. This is the product that allows Duan Yun to earn huge profits.

And at that moment, Duan Yun could be said to have truly occupied a place in the world's storage chip market, and kept pace with the world's advanced technology, and even surpassed it in some aspects.

In fact, in the middle and late 80s, the gap between domestic and world advanced integrated circuit technology was not too big. If Duan Yun could complete his plan before the 90s, he could at least step on Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers, and then pass The long-term investment and the introduction of technical talents have finally achieved the goal of surpassing the technology of the American and Japanese integrated circuit industries.

"You can figure it out for yourself." After Cheng Qingyan left this sentence, she stopped entangled in this matter.

Although it is not a loss to earn millions of dollars by licensing technology patents to IBM, such income is far lower than Cheng Qingyan's expectations. She originally thought that the government invested so much money and manpower, just for the investment of a chip factory. , already surpassed the sum of the investment of all other companies in the Tianyin Group, so it must be able to make a huge profit, but now it seems that the profit of developing chips is far less than she imagined.

The chip that took nearly a year to develop is even far less profitable than the video recorder factory and electronics factory, which also made Cheng Qingyan completely lose interest in the chip industry.

You know, Cheng Qingyan has already started to get involved in the real estate and Hong Kong stock market, making money with money is far faster than relying on technology, so as long as her husband does not lose too much in business, Cheng Qingyan will not take it seriously now up.

After the visit to Shenzhen, the corporate delegations from IBM and Texas Instruments left Guangzhou by plane on the afternoon of the second day. They had to get Duan Yun’s chip samples and complete the test as soon as possible. After the product test passed, they could communicate with Tianyin The group signs a formal commercial contract.

After the first batch of American business delegations left, the second batch of American delegations were also approved to visit China.

Members of this group of American corporate delegations also included well-known multinational companies, including American Essex Corporation, Harris Corporation, and even Freescale Semiconductor, a branch of the famous American Motorola Semi Corporation.

The second batch of American business delegations who visited China also attracted great attention from the SZ municipal government, especially Mayor Li Hao. It is also a good thing for him to see American technology giants visiting Shenzhen one after another. He also specially praised Tianyin Group in the meeting of the municipal government, thinking that Tianyin Group is a role model for high-tech enterprises in Shenzhen, which also made Duan Yun and Tianyin Group receive higher attention from the SZ municipal government. and sure.

At the same time, Duan Yun got another piece of good news, that is, with the help of Mayor Li Hao, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry sent some manufacturers of microelectronic chip equipment to contact Duan Yun, expressing their willingness to provide Tianyin Group with For related equipment for chip production, these manufacturers also sent representatives to Shenzhen to discuss equipment purchase and installation.

Duanyun is very busy during this period. Not only does he have to cooperate with the city government to receive the American business delegation, but he also needs to look forward to the research institutes and companies related to chip equipment under the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. The daily time and schedule are very tight.

After visiting the chip factory and R&D center of Tianyin Group, the second batch of American business delegation also took away a batch of samples of NAND flash memory chips. They also need to test these chips before they can make further cooperation plans. plan.

Duan Yun's reception work continued until the end of September. After sending away the last batch of American business delegations, Duan Yun did not receive feedback from IBM for a long time. However, there was a good news from Hong Kong, that is, God The planning of Yin Group's Hong Kong branch has been completed, the relevant procedures have been approved, and a corporate account has been opened at Citibank.

This event is of great significance to Duan Yun. The opening ceremony of Tianyin Group Hong Kong Branch is scheduled for October 10st, and Duan Yun will go to Hong Kong with his wife to attend the establishment ceremony of the branch.

Cheng Qingyan is also very concerned about the establishment of the Hong Kong branch, but unlike her husband Duan Yun who focuses on the establishment of the Hong Kong R&D center, Cheng Qingyan wants to use this company to get involved in the real estate business in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong stock market is also her focus.
