Chapter 1560 Application passed
In fact, for Duan Yun, he still prefers dealing with people like Carter.

As the saying goes, those who dislike the goods are the ones who buy the goods. In Duan Yun's view, although Carter is a little cautious in doing things, once such a person makes a promise, he will definitely be able to fulfill it.

From afternoon to night, Duan Yun accompanied Carter and his team to visit the factory and talked face to face. At dinner time, the matter was finally settled. Carter finally decided to cooperate with Tianyin Group to establish a joint venture hard disk factory in Shenzhen. The first phase of the project will build a production line with an annual output of 1 hard drives. If the benefits are good, Western Digital will increase investment and continue to build new production lines in China.

Duan Yun and Carter even talked about some details about the joint venture factory, such as the location of the factory, the investment of capital and equipment, how to open up the market in mainland China, and how to develop related Asian markets in the future.

Duan Yun's professionalism surprised Carter. He found that Duan Yun has rich experience and attainments in both PC electronic technology and the company's foreign trade. He understands technology and has rich business experience. talent.

So when it came to the end, Duan Yun and Carter also had a bit of sympathy for each other. Carter finally invited Duan Yun to visit their Western Digital company in the United States, and also invited Duan Yun in his own name. He was at home in the United States. be a guest.

In fact, at this stage, Carter and Duan Yun can’t talk about any more in-depth cooperation. In Carter’s plan, he originally planned to establish two wholly-owned hard disk production plants in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Malaysia, with an annual output of up to 500 million pieces. The reason why I chose these two countries is because in terms of per capita income, Thailand and Malaysia are much stronger than China in the early 90s. They are also one of the four Asian tigers, and the most important thing is these two countries It is most in line with Carter's wishes to allow wholly foreign-owned factories. In this way, Western Digital can firmly hold the core technology in its own hands, and does not need to pay dividends to others.

But if the Chinese market is big enough and the profits of hard disk sales are high enough, then all other problems will be no problem. At that time, Western Digital will definitely increase its investment in China, and it may even make the Shenzhen branch become the largest branch of Western Digital in Asia. The only branch.

In addition, after communicating with Duan Yun today, some of Carter's doubts were indeed eliminated. Although it was not perfect, it was completely acceptable.

The establishment of a joint venture factory in Shenzhen is handled by the Foreign Investment Promotion Office of the SZ Municipal Government. After learning that Western Digital intends to establish a joint venture factory with Tianyin Group in Shenzhen, the leaders of the SZ Municipal Government are naturally very happy and dedicated A temporary team was formed to be in charge of negotiating with Western Digital and discussing the specific matters of setting up a joint venture.

Two days later, Carter and others left Shenzhen by plane. Before that, they had signed a preliminary investment letter of intent with the SZ municipal government. The two parties negotiated that Tianyin Group would invest 3 million U.S. dollars to purchase the entire production line, and Western Digital would be in charge. The technology and product licenses are provided, and the land is provided by the SZ municipal government, and the SZ municipal government promises to provide Western Digital with 000 mu of industrial land for free for the construction of factories.

After settling the joint venture with Western Digital, at the end of September, Duan Yun finally heard from Poly Group.

Regarding the transfer of 10% of the shares of Longteng Machinery Processing Factory, a listed company, to Poly Group, it is a precedent in China. Before that, there was no precedent for any private enterprise and military enterprise to cooperate. The transfer of 10% of the shares of the machining factory to the Poly Group seems to be a very disadvantageous thing, but in fact, with the backing of the Poly Group, Duan Yun can finally break through the restrictions of private enterprises and enter China's automobile industry.

In addition, Poly Group is also very interested in the flash memory chips newly produced by Tianyin Group. They also brought several experts to Shenzhen this time.

The team leader was still Liu Shaoqiang. After meeting Duan Yun, the two shook hands warmly, and then went directly to the conference room of Tianyin Group headquarters building.

"The higher-ups affirmed our poly company's investment in Tianyin Group, and believed that you are a powerful and social enterprise. The most important thing is that your group's chip and automobile industries can bring our country's military technology. Come to help, so after several discussions, the superiors approved our application." In the conference room, Xu Shaoqiang, who was sitting face to face with Duan Yun, said with a smile on his face.

Compared with the last time he came to Tianyin Group, Xu Shaoqiang looked much more relaxed this time. In order for the superiors to approve the application for becoming a shareholder of Tianyin Group, Xu Shaoqiang also did a lot of work, including the spin-off and listing of Tianyin Group The company's asset technology assessment, as well as Tianyin Group's corporate technology characteristics, related materials and reports have been written for more than 30 pages. At the end, there are collective signatures of more than a dozen experts, confirming that all data are true and reliable.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Poly’s doing this is a bit of a big deal. The meat delivered to the door can be eaten directly. There is no need for so many steps. It also needs to bear certain risks and obligations, especially for a private enterprise. Once something happens, it will be a nominal damage to central enterprises and military enterprises.

The annual profit of Tianyin Group, which is several hundred million yuan, is actually not very meaningful to a military enterprise like Poly Group, because the function of such an enterprise is not purely to make money. As for the intermediary of equipment, although the country's wealth is not abundant compared with developed countries, it is far from being comparable to a private enterprise.

Therefore, the most important thing for Poly Group’s investment in Tianyin Group to be approved this time is that the superior leaders saw the technological potential of Tianyin Group. According to the previous evaluation report of experts, there are many technologies that can be introduced into the domestic military industry field. Yes, and it is precisely because of this that the superior leaders finally approved the plan after repeated meetings and discussions.

"Thank you Director Liu!" Duan Yun said gratefully.

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just looking for something in my place. It's very commendable that your Tianyin Group attaches great importance to technology research and development. Compared with your Tianyin Group, most domestic enterprises, including state-owned enterprises, are The takers only know how to introduce foreign technology to make money, but they have never thought about self-innovation. Including me and the superiors, I hope that Tianyin Group can stick to this kind of corporate development strategy. More cooperation..." Xu Shaoqiang said with a smile.
