Chapter 879 Introducing a Production Line

"You want them all?" Wang Shi said in surprise.

"Yes, I want all the 120 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and I will bring the company's financial personnel over to trade tomorrow morning." Duan Yun said very simply.

"That's good!" Wang Shi also showed a smile on his face, and said to Duan Yun: "It seems that your electronics factory is doing well."

"My electronics factory can't compare to your company, Manager Wang." Duan Yun curled his lips, and then said: "If you sell such a large amount of foreign exchange, you will at least have a net profit of hundreds of thousands, which is comparable to ours. It's much quicker to make money producing audio equipment..."

"Haha, you can't say that, our business is not easy, and the risks involved are still very high." Wang Shi said with a smile.

Wang Shi didn't seem to shy away from the reselling of foreign exchange, and the situation did not violate the law at the time.

In later generations, Wang Shi once talked about his early years of buying and selling foreign exchange in Shenzhen. In the autumn of this year, a man from Beijing came to Shenzhen. The exchange rate is 3 US dollar to RMB 000.

And this kind of foreign exchange retention is not cash, but a kind of "quota index". Usually, he should belong to a large state-owned foreign trade company, but in the end it was transferred into the hands of individual "losers" in a special way, and Wang Shixiang directly He booked a "foreign exchange retention" of 1 million U.S. dollars, then bought the foreign exchange through various means such as loans, and finally contacted the buyer in Shenzhen to raise the foreign exchange ratio, back and forth. , You can earn a difference of several million.

At that time, this kind of business was very common in Shenzhen. Wang Shi's company kept in touch with the capital. Through various buying and selling, Wang Shi quickly obtained the original capital accumulation.

However, although this currency exchange activity has become a semi-open secret in Shenzhen, in fact, the national law has not defined and regulated this kind of behavior, that is, from a certain point of view, Wang Shi's behavior is legal , no one will take care of him.

It can be said that right now is the period of rapid accumulation of Wang Shi's original capital, no matter it is gray or white, but he has indeed successfully grown his own strength rapidly.

"Manager Wang, do you know many businessmen from Hong Kong?" Duan Yun asked.

"I have an office in Hong Kong. In fact, the real business with Hong Kong started at the beginning of this year. If you want to buy some imported goods from Hong Kong, I am very willing to help." Wang Shi smiled at Duan Yun Said.

"I want to buy a batch of Japanese production lines or equipment, do you have a way to do this?" Duan Yun asked.

"Yes! There are many foreign trade companies in Hong Kong, and domestic manufacturers have introduced production line technology from Japan and Europe through Hong Kong before, as long as you have enough foreign exchange." Wang Shi nodded, and then said: "But I have to remind you , Little Japan is very shrewd. They will not sell us good things. At most, they can introduce some second-hand production lines that have been eliminated, and there are technologies and equipment that cannot make profits in Japan, and the prices are generally high. Our domestic I have been cheated by many companies before. If you are not very technically savvy, you will be easily deceived. You must be mentally prepared for this..."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." Duan Yun said.

"Then what kind of production line and equipment do you plan to buy?" Wang Shi asked.

"I need a tape recorder production line. It would be better if I can buy the equipment alone. If Manager Wang can help, I can give you a percentage of commission, about 5%. If the equipment really satisfies me, this commission rate is not bad. A little higher..." Duan Yun said.

Duan Yun went to Germany with Ruiyang when he was in Daxing before, and dealt with the China Foreign Trade Enterprise Import and Export Corporation at that time. From the middle, Duan Yun also knew that when buying foreign products and equipment through foreign trade companies, the commission is generally 5%~10 %, so the price he gave Wang Shi is considered a normal price.

The reason why Duan Yun wants to introduce a tape recorder production line is because he intends to develop and produce domestically produced Walkmans, but it is impossible for Duan Yun to develop the entire Walkman production line from start to finish, and the tape recorder production line shares some technical aspects with Walkmans. Therefore, Duan Yun only needs to make some technical improvements, and it should be able to produce a low-end version of the Walkman.

As for the introduction of the Japanese Walkman production line, this is even more impossible, because the Japanese Sony Walkman has been very popular in the world in the past two years, and the annual sales can reach tens of millions. The cash cow was sold to China.

"We have introduced a lot of tape recorder production lines in our country. As far as I know, we introduced 16 tape recorder production lines in Guangdong Province last year. Basically all of them are second-hand production lines eliminated by Japan..."

"16 production lines?" Hearing this, Duan Yun was startled.

"This is only in our Guangdong Province. If you count the whole country, at least [-] to [-] tape recorder production lines have been introduced in recent years. The country is now also encouraging provincial and municipal local governments to introduce foreign advanced technology. The policy is somewhat relaxed, and according to As far as I know, manufacturers who have introduced these production lines have basically made a profit..." Wang Shi said to Duan Yun.

From 1984 to 1987, it was a hot period for the introduction of foreign production lines throughout the country. During these three years, a total of 115 color TV production lines, 73 refrigerator production lines, and 15 copier production lines were introduced across the country. In Guangdong alone, 21 suits were introduced. production lines, 18 beverage filling lines, 22 food and bread production lines, among which the most typical introduction case is that 9 provinces and cities jointly introduced 9 production lines of the same type of "Ariston" refrigerators to the Italian Meloni Company, and In the ensuing upsurge of buying home appliances, these enterprises became the big players in the local area for a while. In the peak period, the output of "Ariston Nine Brothers" accounted for 1/3 of the total refrigerator production in the country, and by 10 Years later, only the Meiling family remained.

"Manager Wang, you are very well informed." Duan Yun said in surprise.

"If you do business like ours, you must keep your eyes open and listen to all directions. Otherwise, how can there be business offered to your door?" Wang Shi smiled, and then said to Duan Yun: "That's good, I'll give it to Hong Kong when I turn around." Make a call from the office and ask them to inquire about the tape recorder production line, and I will make a quotation and send it to you later.”

"That's great." Duan Yun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wang Shi, saying, "This is my business card with the address and phone number of our factory's Guangzhou office on it. If the quotation comes out After that, Manager Wang can call the number above."

"no problem."

"Then I will bring the accountant over tomorrow morning, and then we will trade the foreign exchange face to face." Duan Yun stood up while speaking, ready to leave.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office tomorrow morning." Wang Shi said, got up and sent Duan Yun out of the reception room...
