Chapter 1692 Strong Disagreement
"I always feel that the cost performance of these Soviet experts is too low. Didn't they come here before? There are no new products that can be sold. Compared with the 200 professors when we first came to Shenzhen, it is not the slightest difference. Son, although he is just an ordinary university professor, he really helped us make a lot of new products." Cheng Qingyan said.

"The absence of new products does not mean that others have not contributed. In fact, after more than 200 Soviet experts came to our company, they did come up with some new technologies in terms of hardware and software. At present, I am applying for these technologies at home and abroad. Patents, these are valuable assets of the company..." Duan Yun explained.

"Patents are worthless if they cannot be converted into products and introduced to the market." Cheng Qingyan flashed a look of disdain, and then said: "Now our company has more than 800 international patents, but in fact most of them are patents. Patents can only lie quietly in our database and do not reflect their commercial value at all, so I think our development strategy should be more pragmatic. Patents that do not see returns are not worth investing so much money and manpower."

"You have to know that Tianyin Group is a technology company. Technology accumulation is very important. This is also the foundation of our company. Not all patented technologies can be transformed into products, but not It means that these patented technologies are useless." Duan Yun glanced at his wife, and then said: "This year, I plan to increase the number of our company's patents to 2500, involving computer hardware and software, storage chips, composite materials, and automotive electronic systems. , these technical patents are related to the future development of our group company, I believe that every technical patent has its value, even if it is not used now, it will definitely be used in the future..."

"If you do things like this, I doubt whether our group company has a future." Cheng Qingyan sighed softly, and remembered saying: "When we first came to Shenzhen to start a business, you were really able to use every penny wisely. In general, electronic products are regarded as fast-moving consumer goods. At that time, whether it is a tape recorder or a walkman, they can achieve the same income in the same year they are put into production. I think that is the real way to do business.”

"The times are different now. At that time, it was a real seller's market. There was a serious shortage of electronic products in China. As long as something was made, it would not worry about selling it. It was just a question of earning more and earning less." Duan Yun also felt a little emotional, and then said : "But it's different now. The current domestic home appliance market has begun to show a trend of saturation. The production capacity is far greater than the demand. In order to sell their products, many manufacturers have to cut prices and promote sales. It's getting thinner..."

"Indeed." Cheng Qingyan nodded lightly.

"And now that the country is gradually releasing the protection of tariffs, many electrical products no longer need approval documents, which also makes life more and more difficult for domestic home appliance manufacturers to compete with foreign countries, so now our group company wants to maintain the competitiveness of our products. , then it is necessary to improve the relevant technical level. In the future, products and manufacturers with low technical level will be gradually eliminated. Only enterprises with their own unique technology can gain a firm foothold in the market competition. I think you should understand this truth .” Duan Yun said.

"You always have various reasons, but I can't tell you." Cheng Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "In fact, the rate of return of real estate is much higher than that of the electronics industry. Last year, the overall value of my real estate company tripled. , the current market value is already 140 billion, and it is currently the company with the highest market value in SZ, but did the electronics factory and chip factory you manage have 20 billion last year?"

"It's almost the same number. The financial report for this year has not yet been calculated by the accounting department, but there should still be 20 billion." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "But last year, the company had more than 450 technology applications. International patents, this is actually a very valuable asset..."

"How much can these patented technologies be sold for?"

"Qingyan, some technologies cannot be realized for the time being..."

"Husband, I hope you can change your business thinking..." Cheng Qingyan calmed down, and then said: "Last year you signed a contract with Volvo for 5.4 million US dollars, which brought great financial benefits to our group. Burden, I know you are a person with feelings, but feelings cannot be eaten. We are businessmen, and sometimes we do need to gamble, but no one gambles as big as you? It is too difficult to build a car, we are not a state-owned enterprise , Some countries provide orders and backing. It will take at least one and a half to two years to officially put into production just to build a factory building and install a production line. In addition, the cost of artificial water, electricity and raw materials for car manufacturing is also a very large It is still unknown whether the car can be sold after it is built. This is a bottomless pit in my opinion. Since the car production line has been introduced in the early stage, I think there is no need to introduce the second truck production line..."

"The truck production line must also be introduced!" Duan Yun interrupted his wife and said firmly.

"Hey, you are just like me, you have such a stubborn temper..." Cheng Qingyan sighed helplessly when she heard her husband say that.

"By the way, didn't I let you get out of the Hainan real estate project before, how is the situation now?" Duan Yun asked, changing the subject.

"The current real estate market in Hainan is too hot, and the growth rate is much larger than that of BJ and Shanghai, and even faster than that of Hong Kong real estate. This year, it has increased by 85%. According to the analysis of my team and experts , the growth rate next year is likely to exceed 100% or even higher, and a lot of hot money is pouring into the Hainan Development Zone, and it is absolutely impossible for me to withdraw at this time." Cheng Qingyan said simply.

Like her husband Duan Yun, Cheng Qingyan is also a decisive person in doing things.

Now that the real estate market in Hainan has entered its peak period, nearly 655 real estate companies have emerged on this island with a total population of less than 2 million. The local real estate price has grown from 80 yuan per square meter in the late 700s. It has risen to the current 1500 yuan per square meter, an increase of more than 100% in three years. Under such circumstances, many domestic investors, including Cheng Qingyan, are very optimistic about the real estate market in Hainan, so much so that at the end of last year, HK The city's economic growth rate has reached 83% this year, and Sanya's has reached 73.6%. 40% of Hainan's fiscal revenue comes from real estate.

Under such a situation where real estate appreciation is booming, it is absolutely impossible for Cheng Qingyan to choose to withdraw midway.
