Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1699 The Spring of Private Enterprises

From the Spring Festival to the beginning of March, Duan Yun and the technicians in the factory worked tirelessly to debug and improve the VCD products, and tested nearly hundreds of times.

At the same time when the product was finalized, Duan Yun also received good news that the spirit of Mao Zedong's speech on the Southern Tour has been made public throughout the country, and the legitimacy of private enterprises has finally been affirmed.

Although this is something Duan Yun has already known the result of, but when he saw the relevant news from newspapers and TV, he still felt a little uncontrollable excitement and excitement in his heart.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, Mao Zedong’s speeches during his southern tour seemed unremarkable, and many views were common sense in later generations, but in fact, for the vast majority of private entrepreneurs who experienced this era at that time, Chairman Mao's speech on the southern tour was definitely a very inspiring event to see the sunrise through the clouds and mist.

*** The unusual whirlwind of the southern inspection not only caused unprecedented shocks in politics, but also formed a strong appeal in the economy.

At that time, many people who were well versed in China's national conditions sniffed out a huge business opportunity. Obviously, an opportunity for rapid development appeared. At this time, what is needed is to act and then act.

In Huaxi Village, Jiangsu Province, Wu Renbao, who watched the news broadcast on time every day, convened the village cadres that night as soon as he saw the news of the Communist Party’s southern inspection. The meeting lasted until 2 o’clock in the morning.

For this reason, he was running around all day, on the one hand, borrowing money at high interest rates, and on the other hand, running aluminum ingots everywhere. His eldest son Wu Xiedong later revealed that the aluminum ingots purchased by the village at that time cost more than 6000 yuan per ton, and three months later, the aluminum ingots were sold. It has risen to more than 1.8 yuan per ton.

It can be said that many people who are sensitive to the current domestic situation have more or less made a fortune after the speeches of the Communist Party's southern tour. In the past, because the establishment of private enterprises was too ostentatious, many people were tied up and could only be bored. They made a lot of money, but this time with the central government's characterization of private enterprises, they have also made them a lot more courageous, which has greatly accelerated the development of private enterprises invisibly.

In addition, immediately after the inspection in the south, there was an unprecedented upsurge of office companies throughout the country.

Since February, the number of new companies in BJ has been increasing at a rate of 2 per month, an increase of 2000 to 2 times compared to the past. 3 licenses were dispatched from Tianjin to meet urgent needs.

In Zhongguancun, the number of technology companies in 1991 was 2600, but by the end of 1992, it had reached 5100.

The number of new companies in Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other provinces has doubled compared with last year.

In Shenzhen, 300 companies were crowded into the tallest international trade center building in China at that time, with 25 rooms on the first floor, the most crowded with more than 20 companies, and some desks were a company.

In addition, in addition to more and more people starting private enterprises, many domestic enterprises have also begun to reward scientific and technological personnel heavily.

At the beginning of March, ZH City announced that it would reward scientific and technological personnel. Chi Binyuan, the director and senior engineer of the Zhuhai Biochemical Pharmaceutical Factory, received the keys to the Audi car worth 3 yuan from the mayor Liang Guangguang, the certificate of property rights for the 29 bedrooms and 3 hall, and the 1 With a bonus of 26 yuan, hundreds of media at home and abroad took pictures of his tearful eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the JZ municipal government in Liaoning also rewarded five scientific and technical personnel with 76 yuan. Sichuan rewarded an agronomist and their assistant with 5 yuan. Shandong, AH and Jiangsu provinces have used cash, cars, houses or Local scientists are rewarded for home appliances, etc. The "Saturday Engineer" who was sneaky a few years ago is now allowed to openly contract projects. JX Province stipulates that scientific and technological personnel engage in technical contracting, and can share no less than 80% of the contractor's income with their companies.

In fact, the rewards these companies give to scientific research personnel are nothing compared to Tianyin Group. The turmoil of public opinion has also made Tianyin Group a "pyramid" for many scientific and technological personnel to seek jobs, and many top domestic technical personnel have joined Tianyin Group.

But at that time, no second company dared to do this, but now, the reward model that was originally regarded as a means of capitalists has also begun to be implemented in some private and even state-owned enterprises, and has also received positive comments from public opinion.

On March [-] Women's Day, Duan Yun finally got a mass-produced VCD product. After passing the test, both in terms of product quality and cost, it is much better than the previous VCR. It is indeed a very cost-effective product. audio-visual entertainment products.

"Guo Kai, call our member dealers and let them come to Shenzhen to participate in the new product launch before the 15th. Also, book a hotel and arrange the venue in advance. Make sure that the press conference will be officially held in the afternoon of the 16th." Walking out of the workshop, Duan Yun said to his assistant Guo Kai who was following him.

"Ok."

"Also, have all the computers I asked you to send out before been delivered?" Duan Yun asked again.

"After the next year, all the staff from the public relations department will be on the job. According to your request, a total of 300 computers produced by our company will be sent out. Later, 10 more computers will be sent to the State Foreign Economic and Trade Commission for trial use. Everything is in place." Guo Kai replied very simply.

"Very good!" Duan Yun nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time that Tianyin Group developed and produced the world's first VCD player, Duan Yun's Tianyin brand computer has also entered the stage of mass production, but the large-scale mass production and advertising have not yet started, Duan Yun Yun's plan is to give away a batch of computers for free to some government departments and units that have a good relationship with him, and after getting initial product feedback, he will start to launch them on the market on a large scale.

Compared with VCD, the market sales of domestic computers are much more difficult. The main reason for this is that computers are different from VCDs. For ordinary people, they are not the favorite entertainment products of the nation. The threshold is also very high, which means that its sales must be far inferior to products such as VCDs and TVs.

Another point is that the price of tens of thousands of dollars is an astronomical figure for ordinary people. In the past 10 years, the largest orders for domestic computers came from enterprises, institutions and government departments, and there are very few real ordinary people who buy them. , so for the sales of Tianyin brand computers, Duan Yun focused on the procurement of enterprises, institutions and government departments from the beginning. If there were no large orders, Duan Yun would not choose to mass-produce them for the time being.
