Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 713 Electronic Industrial Zone

Duan Yun has always longed for Shenzhen, the forefront of reform and opening up. As a person who has traveled through the times, he has a deep understanding of the splendor and great changes that Shenzhen has experienced in the subsequent 40 years of development.

Due to the uncertainty of mainland policies and the resource barriers between state-owned enterprises, Duan Yun had difficulty finding suitable foundries in the surrounding areas. In desperation, he could only focus on Shenzhen, which is thousands of miles away.

The opening of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone shows the courage and wisdom of the leaders of that era.

In 1979, Shenzhen was nothing more than a small fishing village. At first it was called Bao’an County. In March 1979, it was transformed into SZ City. In August 3, the state opened a special financial zone in Shenzhen.

In 1984, factories for electronic products in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone were mainly concentrated in the suburbs of Shenzhen at that time, which is today’s light industrial development area in the upper area.

When Huaqiangbei entered the development, one of the first things to do was to dismantle the bunkers. Before 1979, in Shenzhen, the first line of border defense, the frontier guards and local militia people built a large number of military fortifications. The fortress of reinforced concrete, and less than two years later, most of the defense companies here have been demolished and replaced by newly built factories one by one.

Although Shenzhen had great policy advantages at that time, and the central government gave it enough autonomy, in fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, there were certain thresholds for starting a private enterprise here.

At that time, domestic private enterprises were very scarce in terms of technical capital and talents, and most of them could not pass the review at all. Therefore, some state-owned enterprises and scientific research institutions were the first to enter the special zone.

After the establishment of Shenzhen Shangbu Light Industry Community, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Aviation Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance have settled in a large number of electronic companies with the prefix "Hua", such as Aihua, Jinhua, Huafa, Zhenhua, Hualian...

In the mid-80s, Huaqiangbei was the largest production and processing base of electronic products in China, and China's first domestically produced dual-card radio recorder was born here.

During this period, the Shenzhen Electronics Factory was mainly an OEM-based "three to one compensation" enterprise. "Three to" refers to processing with supplied materials, processing with supplied samples, and assembly with supplied parts, while "one supplement" refers to compensation trade. This is a form of enterprise cooperative trade that was tentatively created in the early days of reform and opening up.

The emergence of "three subsidies and one subsidy" was mainly related to the lack of capital, technology and technical personnel in the early stage of reform and opening up. However, in the late 80s, the proportion of "three subsidies and one subsidy" enterprises continued to decline, and was gradually replaced by "three capitals".

At that time, almost all of these "Hua"-prefixed electronics companies came from Hong Kong, and produced some low-end electronic products and toys through OEM, and then exported them to Hong Kong and other countries through Luohu and Shekou ports.

In addition to these electronic factories with the prefix "Hua", there are also some electronic factories run by Hong Kong businessmen. These electronic factories use old machines that have been eliminated from Hong Kong. They generally do directional processing and do not do OEM .

After Li Guosheng came to Shenzhen for an on-the-spot investigation, he almost turned around all the slightly larger electronics factories in the local area, and finally chose Kingfa Electronics Factory under the Ministry of Electronics Industry as the cooperative foundry.

Duan Yun and Li Guosheng agreed to meet at the Guangzhou office over the phone, and then went to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone together.

But before going to Shenzhen, Li Guosheng told Duan Yun that he still needs to apply for a border defense certificate at the local police station.

In the 80s, when you went to Shenzhen, you needed a border defense certificate. This was something Duan Yun hadn’t thought of before, but it was actually related to the national conditions of the year and Shenzhen’s geographical location.

Since there were many people sneaking from Shenzhen to Hong Kong at that time, and the border guards stationed at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen were limited at that time, and after Shenzhen became a special zone, more and more migrant workers, in order to effectively prevent this kind of sneaking behavior, The country has set up two lines here. The "first line" is the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border line, while the second line is the special zone management line. There is another way of saying that the Shenzhen special zone management line is both the special zone management line and the border management line. The combination of lines is called "second line".

At that time, to apply for a border defense permit to enter Shenzhen, one had to go through the unit’s political examination and police station for verification. The Public Security Bureau went through three procedures. If there was no unit, the street committee had to review the application. The procedures were very complicated.

Fortunately, Duan Yun has been the general manager of the labor service company before, and has a very good cooperative relationship with the factory police station and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so after Duan Yun found Director Yang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it took less than an afternoon In time, all the procedures will be completed.

Taking the border management area pass, Duan Yun drove to the train station without stopping, and bought a train ticket to Guangzhou.

Considering that he may have to sign a contract with the manufacturer after arriving in Shenzhen, Duan Yun brought the official seal of the factory's business license and his household registration book this time.

As for the possibility of paying a deposit, Duan Yun does not need to make additional preparations, because most of the more than 6000 sets of pre-sold speakers sent to Guangzhou have already been delivered to customers and received a large amount of money back.

According to Li Guosheng’s report to Duan Yun, nearly 200 million yuan has been returned. It has been transferred to Duan Yun in several batches through telegraphic transfer, and there is still a batch of nearly 40 yuan in the account of the Guangzhou office. The sum of money should be enough for Duan Yun to pay the deposit for the initial foundry.

Most of the recovered funds were used to repay the previous loan from the bank, and the rest was pure profit.

段云一台音箱利润在50~200左右，所以这批6000套音箱总利润达到了惊人的80万元，除去之前在央视打广告的60万费用之外，光是广东这批货段云就拿到了20多万元。

This is not counting the nearly 3000 sets of speaker orders that Duan Yun sent to other merchants some time ago. If all the payments are returned, Duan Yun will open the electronics factory for more than two months, and the total profit will exceed 100 million, an average of more than 40 per month. The profit is more than ten times that of the previous workshop.

In the past, when Duan Yun went to the south, he always liked to bring a few people there, but this time he was alone, because he did not bring too much belongings with him, and when he arrived in Guangzhou, Li Guosheng and the staff of the office would receive him. Lei is also in Guangzhou all the year round, so Duan Yun doesn't need to bring other people there.

That night, Duan Yun called several members of his core team together for a meal in a restaurant. During this period, Duan Yun arranged for them to manage the affairs of the electronics factory well after he left.

After everything was settled properly, on the morning of the second day, the apprentice Dajun drove Duan Yun to the train station. Duan Yun strode into the waiting room with a bag of luggage, and was about to start his trip to Shenzhen...
