Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 517

Obviously, Song Yu didn't fully understand the four-inch chip production equipment. He took it for granted that it was a complete production line, but he didn't expect it to be only 1/3 of a production line.

This electronics factory has a glorious past, but now it can only make ends meet by producing integrated circuits for multi-function electronic watches for businessmen on Hong Kong Island.

After staying in Guangdong Province for so many years, both Wang Weidong and Song Yu knew how cheap that kind of electronic watch is, and the price of the integrated circuit chip on it can be imagined.It is impossible to maintain such a large factory by producing such chips.

It seems that the hope of buying a chip production line has been completely shattered.

Song Yu drove Wang Weidong to the headquarters of Xiangyang Electronics.

"Xiaoyu, I want to criticize you on this matter. The leader said it well. Without investigation and research, you have no right to speak! You didn't understand this matter at all. We went there to fetch water from a bamboo basket. Don't say that only We can't buy 1/3 of the production line, even 90% of the production line." Wang Weidong said.

"I'm really to blame for this matter. I'm too edgy. Next, we should deal with the import of equipment." Song Yu said.

The country now attaches great importance to the semiconductor industry. The Ministry of Electronics Industry and cities like Beijing have set up the Electronic Revitalization Leading Group Office to coordinate and promote the development of the semiconductor industry.

When Wang Weidong came to the capital this time, he had to negotiate with the relevant departments about importing second-hand equipment from the small country.

If you follow the normal procedures to import second-hand equipment, the procedures are very troublesome, and the tax rate is also very high. The import tariff is 8%, plus the value-added tax of 13%, and the overall tax rate reaches more than 22%.

That is to say, the equipment worth 1200 million US dollars has to pay more than 200 million US dollars in taxes.

The idea of ​​Xiangyang Electronics is that since the country attaches so much importance to the development of the electronics industry, can Xiangyang Electronics be given a little tax break for importing this batch of equipment.

After the advent of semiconductors, electronic technology has two development directions, one is microelectronics technology that is oriented towards computing and information, that is, chip memory, etc., and the other is power electronics technology that is developed in the direction of power.

To be honest, the relevant national departments recognized the importance of microelectronics technology, that is, chip integrated circuits and memory, from the very beginning, although there is a huge technological gap and insufficient funds.However, in the past 20 years or so, they have tightened their belts and purchased some advanced foreign technologies and equipment.

But it has not attracted enough attention in power electronics technology.And Xiangyang Electronics is taking the technical route of power electronics.

The Igbt produced is one of the most important power electronic components.

However, in the late 80s, the country gradually realized the importance of power electronics technology and began to promote the development of this technology.

The more important reason is that the country is short of foreign exchange and urgently needs the power electronics industry to convert imports into exports and strive to earn foreign exchange through exports.

In order to achieve this goal, the state has also arranged a large sum of technical funds.

Of course, Wang Weidong, Song Yu and the others are self-aware. As a private company, it is very difficult for Xiangyang Electronics to get financial support from the state.

So many state-owned enterprises and research institutes are waiting with their mouths open.

Their wishes are not high, as long as the import tariffs on these igbt production lines can be lowered.

But he and Song Yu ran around the relevant state departments for a few days to no avail.

Chu Yunhui called Wang Weidong and told her that she had arrived in the capital.

Wang Weidong suggested that she stay in the hotel first, and he and Song Yu took her to the Long'an Club in the evening.

In the evening, Song Yu Wang Weidong drove to the Great Wall Hotel to pick up Chu Yunhui, and then the car turned to Chang'an Avenue and headed towards the Grand Square.

The car finally stopped in front of a building ten minutes' walk away from the main square.

The three got out of the car and walked towards the gate together. A middle-aged man greeted them with a smile at the gate.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Song, our boss Chen asked me to welcome you here, and welcome you to become the first batch of members of our Long'an Club!" said the middle-aged man.

"Besides the two of us, so is this lady. She is Ms. Chu Yunhui, director of Hong Kong Guardian Industrial Co., Ltd." Song Yu said.

The middle-aged man had hundreds of Hong Kong businessmen's names in his head, but he couldn't remember who Chu Yunhui was after thinking about it for a long time.

"My grandfather is Mr. Chu Zhongxiong." Chu Yunhui introduced himself.

However, she was still a little ashamed, and actually brought out her grandfather in order to introduce herself.

Hearing Chu Zhongxiong's name, the middle-aged man nodded to show that he knew.

"Ms. Zhong is also the wife of Ou Xiaojun, the director of Xiangyang Electronics." Wang Weidong added from the side.

Until then, the middle-aged man nodded suddenly.

"According to our club's regulations, members' wives and children under the age of 21 can enjoy the same treatment as members. If this is the case, after Mr. Ou Xiaojun comes to the capital to complete the membership procedures, even if Ms. Chu does not go through the membership procedures All right." The middle-aged man said.

"You are so talkative! Ms. Chu Yunhui is a well-known entrepreneur in Hong Kong Island. Can't Mr. Wang Weidong and I recommend her to join the club as members?" Song Yu said impatiently.

Hearing the displeasure in Song Yu's tone, the middle-aged man hurriedly nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's fine, three distinguished guests, please come in immediately!"

Walking into the gate of Long'an Club, one immediately sees a large red sandalwood screen, and bypassing the screen, one can see the resplendent decoration in the lobby on the first floor.

The middle-aged man led three people into an office to go through membership procedures, and then took three people to visit the library, private rooms of various restaurants and the gymnasium on the top floor.

"To express my gratitude to you two, I invite you to eat here. I wonder what you want to eat?" Chu Yunhui said.

When I introduced it just now, the middle-aged man had already explained to them that there is a Chinese restaurant on the eighth floor of this club, and a Japanese restaurant and an Italian restaurant on the ninth floor.

"Just eat Italian food." Wang Weidong said.

"Weidong, you are trying to save me money." Chu Yunhui said with a smile.

Needless to say, the most expensive of these three restaurants must be the Chinese restaurant.

Wang Weidong only ordered a piece of paella, while Song Yu and Chu Yunhui ordered a relatively simple puff pastry. The three chatted while eating.

When Chu Yunhui heard Wang Weidong talk about the imported small book production line, he asked: "It will be much more convenient if your production equipment is transferred from Hong Kong Island."

"I know that it will be much more convenient in terms of procedures for equipment to be transferred from Hong Kong Island and then imported from Shenzhen City. When the equipment enters Hong Kong Island, it is tax-free, but after all, it is still taxed when entering Shenzhen Port." Wang Weidong said.

"Why don't you use another method? If you can't get in touch, I can help you get in touch." Chu Yunhui said.

Although Chu Yunhui didn't clearly say what method to use, both Wang Weidong and Song Yu shook their heads at the same time.

"I would rather spend more money than use this method." Wang Weidong said.
