Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1698 World Factory
After finishing BJ's meeting, Duan Yun flew back to Shenzhen immediately.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, there are still many things waiting for Duan Yun to deal with in the company, mainly the arrangements for employees to return home for the Spring Festival.

Although Duan Yuan still has a funding gap of 3 million U.S. dollars to be filled, he still did not treat the company's employees badly. The accountant settled the wages of all employees in advance and gave them 1-2 days off so that they could return home during the Spring Festival travel rush. Before going to the hometown, I had time to buy some Chinese New Year items in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

As for those who still stick to their posts during the Spring Festival, Duan Yun is paid 3 to 5 times the usual salary, and also arranges relevant departments to help employees in need buy train tickets in advance to prevent them from being slaughtered by ticket dealers at the station at high prices .

Ordinary employees are already preparing to return home for the New Year, but Tianyi Group still has many technicians who still stick to their posts, mainly for the handover of video recording airport equipment and technical materials.

Duan Yun transferred the production equipment and technical materials of the video airport at a price of 7500 million U.S. dollars. According to the contract, the previous 4 million U.S. dollars had already been transferred to Duan Yun's company account in Hong Kong. Before the Spring Festival, all the equipment was disassembled and transported to the new factory of SEG Group less than 500 kilometers away.

Although Duan Yun knows in his heart that VCRs will be completely replaced by VCDs sooner or later, SEG Group does not suffer from this contract because the VCR factory of SEG Group will be officially put into production at the end of February at the earliest, and Duan Yun is also free of charge. The right to use the trademark is provided, which also enables SEG Group to quickly replace Tianyin Group and occupy the largest share of the domestic video recorder market.

On the other hand, it is impossible for Duan Yun's VCD production line to be mass-produced in the early stage, because the new production line still needs time to debug and install, at least until the middle of May, it will be possible to mass-produce, and it will not be possible in the short term To completely replace video recorder products, new products also need a process of adapting to the market, which leaves enough room for SEG Group's video airports to make profits.

In addition, even in the most popular era of VCD, video recorders have not been completely eliminated. Although sales have declined sharply, there is always a certain profit margin.

What's more, the current domestic demand for video recorders is relatively huge. Tianyin Group has backlogged a lot of orders in the past few months since it stopped production, and these orders are enough for SEG Group, which has taken over, to keep the factory at full capacity for several months or even half a year. Running, there is no need to worry about sales.

As a return from SEG Group to Tianyin Group, Tianyin Group has rented an entire floor in SEG Electronics Building and set up a special counter for products, which has also expanded new sales channels for Tianyin Group. At least two or 3000 million RMB more profits can be created.

While Duan Yun was busy with the company's work, Western Digital's vice president Verdacris and several company executives flew to Shenzhen to participate in the official launch ceremony of Western Digital's Shenzhen branch.

According to the contract signed by the two parties at that time, Western Digital accounted for 45% of the shares of the joint venture factory and was responsible for hard disk production, research and development and technical support, while Tianyin Group invested 8 million yuan, mainly responsible for the sales and after-sales of hard disks in the Chinese market. It also occupies 500% of the shares, and the other 45% of the shares belong to the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Management Committee, making this new hard disk factory a Sino-foreign joint venture controlled by three parties.

This time, Western Digital’s first batch of hard disk products rolled off the assembly line at the Shenzhen factory, which is of great significance. This is also the first batch of products produced by Western Digital in East Asia. It has very important strategic significance for the company, so This time, Vice President Verdacris came to China in person to attend the commissioning ceremony.

In addition to Duan Yun and Vodacris, Jiang Jianhua, deputy director of the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, who has 10% of the shares, also participated in the commissioning ceremony, and was the finale of the ceremony. He delivered a speech, which fully affirmed Western Digital's investment in China and Telling Group's contribution to factory construction.

The electronic industry in Shenzhen is developing rapidly now, and more and more multinational technology companies have begun to set up offices in Shenzhen, including Compaq, Sanyo Electronics, Xerox, Northern Telecom, Lucent Technology, DuPont and other high-tech multinational companies have set up offices in Shenzhen. We have established an office, and already have the willingness to set up a joint venture factory in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen's development strategy has always been clear and firm. Since the 80s, Shenzhen has supported and developed the electronics industry as a pillar industry in the special zone. It first attracted Hong Kong and Taiwan capital to invest in the development of processing trade here, and it was settled. The foundation of Shenzhen's export-oriented export-processing economy.

In the 90s, along with economic globalization and the large-scale transfer of international industrial capital, Shenzhen began to adjust its strategy. On the basis of introducing Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, it began to focus on attracting a large number of multinational companies to establish production and manufacturing bases in Shenzhen. Shenzhen has gradually become the main part of the world factory in the Pearl River Delta.

In addition, the smarter point of the SZ city government is that it seldom uses administrative means to intervene in the development of private enterprises and joint ventures, but only provides them with some high-quality services, and then acts as a referee to establish a fair competition, survival of the fittest market mechanism, and almost never do anything against the laws of the market.

For multinational companies like Western Digital to invest and set up factories in Shenzhen, the SZ municipal government is very welcome. As more multinational technology companies come to Shenzhen to set up factories, Shenzhen's status as a "world factory" is gradually taking shape. In other words, Shenzhen's current economic positioning is to become an important link in the world's electronic trade industry chain, and to take advantage of policies and cheap labor to stabilize its status as the world's factory.

That night, Duan Yun entertained Vodacris and his party in his villa. The atmosphere of the dinner was very cheerful. Duan Yun and Vodacris talked a lot about the future development of Western Digital in China.

The production of Western Digital is also very important to Duan Yun, because the hard disk used in his new domestic computer is a product of Western Digital, and this time the hard disk of Western Digital is put into production, and Tianyin brand computers are officially put into mass production. Well prepared.

According to Duan Yun's plan, he plans to officially launch his domestically produced 2 computer in mid-February this year, and strives to defeat Lenovo Great Wall and many other competitors within two years and become the overlord of domestically produced computers.
