I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 513 Turn Crisis into Opportunity

On July 1986, 7, Zhang Guobin arrived in Taipei by plane, and was greeted by Zhang Mao, the head of Yihai Taipei Church, and the group checked into Taoyuan Hotel.

The long-haired boy is wearing a ponytail and a suit, sitting in front of the coffee table: "Grandpa, there are more than [-] brothers in Hongmen Zhongyixin in Taipei, and they are based in Zhongzheng, Datong, and Zhongshan. They are underground gambling halls and dance halls. , bars, household appliances and other businesses.”

"Its main executives are composed of military officers who retreated to Taiwan Island in those days. They are conservatives in the Hongmen army in the previous dynasty. They are loyal and trustworthy. There are not many people and power is not strong, but they have great appeal among veterans. The big boss behind the scenes, Wang Yongqing, is Taipei’s plastic king, the PVC pipes produced are not only supplied to the whole island, but also have a large share in the entire Southeast Asian market.”

Don't underestimate the plastic market. There are big bosses who make a fortune in plastics everywhere, because plastics are an indispensable resource in the industrial age. Plastics are needed in all kinds of production and construction, and PVC pipes are a market worth hundreds of billions. .

Wang Yongqing worked in a rice store when he was young. Later, he opened a plastic factory, operated a private hospital, acquired a US petrochemical company, established a circuit project team, and stepped into the electronics industry.

In 1986, he was already one of the top ten tycoons in Taipei, and he will be the richest man in Taiwan in the future.

Wang Yongqing's development took advantage of the blank market to rise rapidly under the background of the puppet government introducing "American aid" and vigorously promoting economic construction.

The support and collusion of government officials are indispensable behind it. It is difficult for "loyalty and faith" to become active in Taipei's political arena. It turns out that there are deeper reasons behind it.

Zhang Guobin pondered: "Relying on Zhongyixin's appeal among veterans, it is enough for the non-party alliance to win over, and Zhongyixin will join the non-party alliance, which seems to have Wang Yongqing's political speculation intentions."

A businessman may not have political wisdom, but a big businessman must have political wisdom. Wang Yongqing can become the richest man in Taipei, and that political wisdom is top-notch.

The HTC Group (Hongda Electronics Company), which was established in 1997, once ranked among the top three smartphone businesses in Asia. At its peak, it claimed to challenge the Apple Group. HTC's TVs, handheld computers, software and other businesses are also sold overseas.

Since Wang Yongqing was able to grow the HTC Group after A-Bian was elected in 00, it can be seen that he has a good relationship with the authorities.

Seeking profit is the nature of a businessman, and betting on both ends is a traditional craft. Looking at Boss Wang from the perspective of a Taiwanese businessman, he is at best an industrialist trying to survive.

It is difficult to start a business, and even more difficult to manufacture, but he donated [-] million during the earthquake in central Sichuan.Jumping left and right, there is a gap in rank between a certain boss who plays a lot of financial operations and cut leeks.

The long-haired boy asked, "Brother Bin, what should we do now?"

"Call Boss Wang over to talk?"

The choice of Zhongyixin is Wang Yongqing's will. It is the worst policy to directly shovel Zhongyixin. The best policy is to reach an agreement with Boss Wang.

Zhang Guobin smoked a cigar, and said in a serious tone, "Pass me a greeting card to Boss Wang, and say that I want to talk to him about business."

The long-haired boy nodded in agreement: "Yes, Grandpa!"

……

Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that politics is involved, and fighting and killing can't solve the problem. If Dou Kui dares to come to Taipei, he must make relevant preparations.

After he arrived in Taipei with a group of brothers, he stayed at the Yuanshan Hotel and secretly met with the confidant of the Taipei speaker, "General Yanshi", hoping to put pressure on the alliance of non-Party people through the authorities.

The advantage of the Great Court is that it participated in politics early, and the two generations of imperial courts had to sell favors, so that all parties could be on the line.

Dou Kui is acquainted with an uncle of the Grand Court, and even a nephew at home directly works for the Taiwan authorities, and the chips in his hands when he comes to Taipei are not low.

However, Zhang Guobin knows the future situation in Taipei, and the world is doomed to collapse. The reason for the collapse comes from external pressure, and it cannot be resolved internally.

So he directly took the folk route, and talked to a loyal and trustworthy boss. The two took the upper class route, but one was conservative and the other was progressive.

……

three days later.

Taoyuan Hotel.

Wearing a suit and combing his hair back, Zhang Guobin led a group of people forward, shook hands and said, "Boss Wang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Zhang, I am the one who has admired his name for a long time." Wang Yongqing is 49 years old, with gray temples, and speaks with a strong Hokkien accent.

Because of his poor family background when he was young, he was thin and thin, less than [-] meters tall, and he was neatly dressed and gentle.

To say something impolite, take off your suit, probably like a monkey.

He smiled very warmly when he saw Zhang Guobin, took Zhang Guobin's hand and said: "Mr. Zhang is young and promising. The Yihai Group he founded is internationalized and diversified. Eat a meal, don't talk about cooperation, talk about learning!"

The two were sitting in the box, and Wang Yongqing was still talking: "The Formosa Plastics Group under my name is planning to diversify and enter some unfamiliar industries. I hope Mr. Zhang can give me some advice."

"Boss Wang is a senior. He dare not be a teacher, but he can communicate with each other and learn from each other." Zhang Guobin humbly said.

Wang Yongqing is eloquent and humble, but his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. There is no need to question his ability to make Formosa Plastics Group a trump card enterprise in the province.

"As far as I know, there are 1500 factories in Taiwan Island that make a living under the Formosa Plastics Group, and Formosa Plastics is one of the top 50 chemical companies in the world. The market value of the subsidiaries is over one billion U.S. dollars, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan Island who depend on Boss Wang for their livelihood, right?"

Zhang Guobin took the dishes with chopsticks.

Wang Yongqing shook his head and sighed: "The size of Formosa Plastics is limited by the size of an island, and it is not big to do local business. Besides, Taiwan Island implements a blockade policy, and its status as a trade window on Hong Kong Island is thousands of miles away. Like You can do business in the Mainland, North America, Southeast Asia, and Europe."

"But we can only do business in Taiwan Island. At most, we do business in Southeast Asia. We are not as powerful as you. At least Hong Kong Island can still do business in Taiwan Island, but people in Taiwan Island can only go to Hong Kong Island to seek a living."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongqing had a bitter face.

Zhang Guobin suddenly realized that Wang Yongqing was a representative of a Taiwanese businessman, and every word he said could represent the situation of the Taiwanese business community.

Restricted government, restricted development!
Although the government cited "US aid" to develop them, the government's martial law policy has made Taiwanese businessmen miserable. Taiwanese businessmen also have "capital attributes" and will pursue growth rates. When the growth rate reaches the ceiling, all The power will flock to the authorities, forcing the authorities to lift the blockade and open the ban!
The longer the oppression lasts, the more ferocious the resistance will be, and by then all prohibitions will be broken layer by layer.

Then it breaks through.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as "ritual collapse and music bad"!

Zhang Guobin immediately realized that the Taiwanese businessmen were a great help to the non-party alliance. No wonder the green camp developed super rapidly and became the throne in one session.

The opportunity to make great contributions has come!

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Boss Wang's speech is a bit self-deprecating. Isn't it easy for us Chinese merchants to have a big market?"

"The Chinese market itself is the biggest market!"

Wang Yongqing paused slightly with his fingers picking up vegetables, and asked with a hint in his mouth: "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

"Come here."

"I offer a toast to Boss Wang."

Zhang Guobin raised his glass.

Wang Yongqing drank it all in one gulp.

"readily!"

Zhang Guobin praised: "I like to cooperate with straightforward people. I heard that Boss Wang is in the business of circuit boards. To be honest, I am very envious."

"So what if Xiangjiang can do business in all directions? To put it bluntly, it's just a port city. I want to change the wharf. I can play with finance, but I want to make circuit boards and technology products, so I want to rush to the street!"

"A group of people with Hang Seng Index in their heads, crazy people who sell goods, use their buttocks to study circuit boards? The factories in Kowloon and New Territories can only make daily necessities, but the future business belongs to the high-tech industry, and the biggest profit lies in the two technologies. Literally."

Wang Yongqing listened carefully with a serious face.

Zhang Guobin said: "Five years ago, how many households had a TV and a pair of stereos? Now? Whether it is Taiwan Island or Hong Kong Island, the electrical appliance market is booming."

"What you need to make an electrical appliance is a circuit board!"

"I believe that Boss Wang has already seen the hot market for circuit boards in the future, not to mention the rapid development of electrical products, which curbs the supply of upstream circuit boards, and will never worry about no money."

After the business is done and grows bigger, it can also directly enter the electrical appliance industry, just like the birth of THC Group.

"The most important thing is that many technologies of Yankees are not open to us, but they may be open to you. Let's work together to make electrical appliances!" Zhang Guobin clenched his fists and said aloud: "You and I cooperate to hold the future technology market between you and me." What do you think, Boss Wang?"

Turning a crisis into an opportunity is the most perfect future. The two have reached a cooperation and even have the opportunity to truly challenge Apple's market position. Apple was founded in 1980 and has strong capital. However, the leading time is not long, and there is no chance of robbing the market. There are still opportunities.

Zhang Guobin is in charge of manufacturing "explosive products", and Wang Yongqing is in charge of technical research. The cooperation between the two islands gives full play to their advantages, which is not necessarily inferior to American companies.

Wang Yongqing suddenly felt that Zhang Guobin was able to achieve the status of a Hong Kong tycoon for no reason. He was often said to be cruel and ruthless, but today he was eloquent and confident.
"Electrical appliances are indeed a big market, but I have established a South Asia circuit board team. What does Mr. Zhang have?" Wang Yongqing asked.

He and Zhang Zhongmou, Ph.D. of MIT and director of Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute, are still good friends, and they are escorted on technical issues.

Zhang Guobin raised a finger: "I have a market!"

"The place where you sell your goods is more important than the so-called South Asian research group. Without a market, you are a fart."

Wang Yongqing was speechless.

Zhang Guobin wiped his hands and said: "The world's largest market is just across the river. Instead of trying to enter Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and South Korea, Taiwanese businessmen who want to make money should think about how to cooperate with the motherland. Only by making a wise choice can they be clear." In return, Boss Wang is a smart man, where can the business be done at home?"
