Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 898 Introducing a Production Line

Entering 1985 is of special significance to Duan Yun.

Entering the 4th year of rebirth, Duan Yun can finally let go of his hands and feet to do a big business. He now has funds, technology, and talents. Big plans out there.

The Spring Festival in 85 was on February 2th. Duan Yun was newly married this year, so he definitely wanted to stay in Daxing for the Spring Festival, but before that, he still needed to go on a business trip to other places to deal with some matters.

At present, Duan Yun has 120 million US dollars in foreign exchange deposits in his hands. Of course, Duan Yun took this money not to deposit it in the bank to earn interest, but to use this money to introduce some foreign technology and equipment.

At present, the production line of Duan Yun’s electronics factory in Shenzhen can be described as rudimentary. There is no available equipment technology. Basically, all of them are manually assembled by workers. In terms of core technology, the threshold is not high, and it is very dependent on local manufacturers. Parts supply channels.

The reason why Duan Yun's electronics factory can make money is because of domestic brand effects and foreign patents, but the low technical threshold means that it must face fierce competition. It is impossible for Duan Yun to make long-term profits from subwoofer audio. Take huge profits.

The past few years have been a blank period for domestic home appliances. It is impossible for Duan Yun to waste too much time to develop and manufacture the entire production line bit by bit. This is something he cannot do alone. The electronics and household appliances market has already become a separatist situation. The products have been in short supply and gradually saturated. They have missed the prime time to change their own and the company's destiny. This is a very major strategic mistake. Duan Yun will not make such a mistake. wrong.

However, it is the best way to introduce a complete production line with mature technology from abroad. As long as the production line has entered the country, Duan Yun will be able to produce products soon and earn a lot of money. This is the most realistic choice.

In fact, by 1985, a large number of production lines began to pour into the country one after another, and China's coastal cities quickly became the downstream areas of international industrial transfer. It is a wise choice for both multinational companies and China. Hundreds of color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and VCRs are being installed day by day. In this year, the "Warring States Era" of China's home appliance industry is coming, and speed has become the most important indicator. One day the introduction of production lines can make money one day earlier, and any home appliances can be sold easily. This kind of market situation in which demand exceeds supply is unimaginable and dreamed of by future enterprises.

Because of this, Duan Yun exchanged USD 120 million in foreign exchange reserves from Wang Shi's company, and he wanted to use this money to introduce a foreign production line.

Duan Yun's initial plan was to introduce a Japanese tape recorder production line to lay the foundation for his future production of domestic Walkmans, and his plan must be implemented as soon as possible.

When Duan Yun was in Shenzhen, he once consulted Wang Shi. Wang Shi told Duan Yun that he could help him contact a foreign trade company in Hong Kong. It is not difficult to introduce Japanese production lines. The key is to choose the desired production line.

In fact, European and American countries are very willing to sell production lines to China. Of course, they will not sell the best production lines to China, but some second-hand production lines that are about to be eliminated or have already been eliminated.

At that time, it was a trend throughout Europe for Chinese delegations to scour for second-hand factories and equipment with a list of what they wanted, and for European companies, the equipment would either be sold or sold. Destroy it, or leave it idle, and selling it to China is a very good option. The most attractive thing is that China can always pay in cash.

The same is true in Japan. A large number of Japanese manufacturers sell second-hand machines to China. These machines and production lines are no longer profitable in Japan, including a large number of inferior equipment and outdated technology. Due to the domestic enthusiasm for technology at that time, many domestic manufacturers Enterprises blindly introduced a large number of them, so that in the following years, a lot of equipment was idle and scrapped, resulting in a lot of waste of foreign exchange.

But Duan Yun knows technology, and has been observing the development trend of electronic products at home and abroad for the past two years. Therefore, when purchasing a production line, Duan Yun only needs to personally select and check, and he will definitely be able to avoid being deceived by foreign manufacturers.

"You said you were going to go to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow?" At the dining table in the living room, when Duan Yun proposed that she was going to Shenzhen to negotiate the purchase of a production line, Cheng Qingyan frowned slightly.

"Qingyan, you also know that the home appliance market has been very hot in the past two years. Didn't we exchange a sum of foreign currency when we were in Shenzhen last time? So I want to use this money to buy a foreign production line. As long as the machine is shipped to China, We will be able to earn back our capital soon," Duan Yun said.

"But...the Chinese New Year will be in one and a half months, can't we leave after the Chinese New Year?" Cheng Qingyan said.

"Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year, who still runs outside?" Duan Yun's mother Gao Xiuzhi also interjected at this time.

Gao Xiuzhi doesn't know anything about business, and she doesn't want to worry about it, so she usually doesn't care about her son's business, but the Chinese New Year is a family reunion, and his son just got married this year, so he must stay in Daxing for the New Year no matter what.

"I'll be back when I finish my business in Shenzhen. I will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year." Duan Yun said.

"It's hard to buy train tickets during the Chinese New Year, and the roads are quite chaotic. What will you do if something happens to you?" Gao Xiuzhi said worriedly.

As the saying goes, the mother is worried when a child travels thousands of miles, Gao Xiuzhi still doesn't want Duan Yun to leave home at this time.

"Nowadays there is a slogan in the society, which is called time is money. The introduction of the production line one day earlier means that the market can be seized and a lot of money can be made one day earlier. First of all, at that time, even if the machines and production lines are bought back, it will be difficult to earn money." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "This is how business is, and it is very important to seize the opportunity. You can do it during Chinese New Year, but if you don’t make any money, you can only go back to work in the factory, Mom, do you want your son to go back to work in the factory?”

"Mom didn't mean that..."

"I know Mom is worried about my safety, but don't worry, I will take a few people to the south this time. There will be someone to take care of me on the way, and there is an office in Guangzhou, as well as my two factories, with food and lodging. It will be fine." Duan Yun said to his mother with a smile.
