Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1516

On the third day after the company commendation meeting, Duan Yun took his assistant Guo Kai to Hong Kong.

The weather in Hong Kong in May was a bit sweltering, but this time after Duan Yun entered Hong Kong, he did not find a hotel to stay, but went directly to a luxurious villa in the middle of Hong Kong.

Under Cheng Qingyan's operation, Tianyin Group already has many real estate properties in Hong Kong. In addition to a few villas in the middle of the mountain, there is also a piece of land in Tseung Kwan O, which is currently in the development stage, and the company in charge of the development is Wang Shi's Vanke.

So now that Duan Yun comes to Hong Kong, he doesn't need to stay in a hotel at all. Instead, he takes a car directly to a villa in the middle of the mountain. It has been renovated, and Cheng Qingyan will also live here when she comes to Hong Kong.

Choosing this time to come to Hong Kong, Duan Yun has some things to deal with, because he needs to open a research and development center in Europe, and in view of the technology blockade in the United States, he needs to open a branch in Hong Kong.

In fact, the procedures for opening a branch in Hong Kong are not complicated, but since relevant European institutions will review foreign investment, according to Duan Yun's plan, he plans to jointly establish a new company with a local company in Hong Kong, and the relevant operation methods are a bit troublesome , This matter may still need Wang Shi's help.

In addition, when he comes to Hong Kong this time, he will also go to the branch of the group in Hong Kong to inspect the work, and to see the situation of the establishment of the laboratory in cooperation with the Hong Kong Government Advanced Technical Institute.

In fact, Duan Yun has always kept in touch with the laboratory of the Hong Kong Government Advanced Technical Institute through fax and telephone. Duan Yun’s investment in the Hong Kong laboratory is also increasing year by year. This year, he plans to increase the investment amount to 80. US dollars, continue to engage in the research and development of PC computer products.

The laboratory of the Hong Kong Government Technical College has also produced satisfactory results for Duan Yun over the past year. The single-chip microcomputer they developed is relatively cost-effective. In the next step, Duan Yun plans to produce this kind of single-chip microcomputer in China, and the first batch of cooperation units are BJ Radio No. [-] Factory and No. [-] Factory.

These two electronic companies are very powerful state-owned enterprises in China. They also visited Tianyin Group before. The leaders of the two factories also had in-depth exchanges with Duan Yun, so Duan Yun chose to let them produce Tianyin. brand microcontroller.

In fact, as early as the year before last, Lenovo Group, shortly after its establishment, had already developed a low-end single-chip microcomputer. Because the price was relatively low and the product performance was durable, it won a lot of orders, and it took less than half a year. The group has received orders of more than 500 million US dollars.

Duan Yun cooperated with the Hong Kong Government Technical College to set up a laboratory to develop the Tianyin brand single-chip microcomputer. In terms of performance and price, it has certain advantages over the single-chip microcomputer produced by Lenovo. Tianyin Group has brought millions of dollars in foreign exchange profits.

Duan Yun didn't move the market cake of his partner easily, but Liu Chuanzhi rejected his cooperation proposal, so Duan Yun is now competing with him in the foreign MCU market, which can be regarded as a courtesy before a soldier.

Although Liu Chuanzhi has a strong family background, and many engineers including himself are from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in terms of research and development strength, it is not at the same level as Tianyin Group.

However, it is not easy to compete with Lenovo Group in the domestic PC computer market. Because Lenovo Group is an agent of IBM, Tianyin Group is essentially competing with the American PC giant.

Judging from the current domestic PC market, Great Wall Computer is still in a dominant position, but in Duan Yun's view, Great Wall Computer's dominant position in the domestic market will soon end and completely fall apart.

After the domestic turmoil last year, due to external pressure, the country began to gradually relax the protection of the computer market in 1991, canceled the approval policy, and reduced the tariff from the initial 200% to 20%. The price advantage of similar domestically produced computers disappeared.

In later generations, many people regarded Lenovo as the light of domestic computers, and thought that Lenovo was a technology company worthy of the pride of Chinese people, but in fact, Lenovo acted as a pawn in fueling the rapid occupation of the domestic market by foreign computers throughout the 90s. The role itself has no self-developed technology other than Hanka and low-end single-chip microcomputers. The award-winning Lenovo computer is actually just an assembly of foreign imported parts, and most of the profits are earned by foreign companies.

Duan Yun sincerely wants to make a domestic computer with real core technology, but this is a very difficult thing. As far as the current situation is concerned, Tianyin Group can only make some computer parts localized. Duan Yun still has a long way to go to realize the localization of CPU, memory, hard disk and motherboard, and reach the international advanced level.

After Duan Yun stayed at the villa in Mid-Levels for one night, he took a car to Tianyin Hong Kong branch early the next morning.

"Mr. Duan!" When Duan Yun just entered the company, he saw Li Guosheng, his father and his daughter coming up to greet him.

"Thank you." Duan Yun replied politely, and then looked at the father and daughter.

At the beginning of the year, Li Yun was assigned by Duan Yun to the Hong Kong branch to serve as her father's assistant. They hadn't seen each other for a few months, and now the two have changed a bit.

Li Guosheng's gray hair grew more and more on his temples. Although he was dressed very energetically, he looked more and more old-fashioned.

Li Yun, who was next to him, was dressed much smarter than when she left last time, with short hair and light makeup. The Omega ladies watch worn by Duan Yun was in the middle Yingjie bought it for her and her sister.

For Duan Yun's arrival, the company held a simple welcome ceremony. Everyone stood up from their workstations and shook hands with Duan Yun one by one.

Duan Yun quickly discovered keenly that when the employees of the Hong Kong branch faced Li Yun, they were obviously more in awe than when they faced her father.

Moreover, at this brief welcome ceremony, Li Yun was the one who presided over the arrangements. On the contrary, Li Guosheng, the company manager, followed his daughter obsequiously, not like the leader of a company at all.

In fact, Duan Yun has been ignoring a problem before, that is, Li Yun is a girl who is precocious and naturally intelligent. Besides, she is not young now. She just passed her 26th birthday a few years ago. Her social experience over the years, Knowledge reserves, and even the style of acting, have given her the ability to be independent.
