The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 523 Deploying the layout of Pudong in advance
No matter how strong the Yanjing First Electronics Factory may be in the future, it is still just a company on the verge of bankruptcy with an output value of only tens of millions. Chen Zhiwen will only provide moderate help at the moment. In a few years, if the original Historically, the group of people from BOE showed their prominence, and then found a way to get them to the top, or at a later stage, if the internal fighting was serious, then fully acquire the company, or set up a separate department to engage in LCD research.

Although BOE's success is also related to the secret support of the mainland government, if it acquires it by itself, it may not receive this treatment. However, it can also acquire it first, then expand it, and then introduce official capital after reaching a certain potential. However, the prerequisite for this operation is that You still need to control enough of the market, that is, the equipment industry that requires LCD, such as color TVs, computers, notebooks and even mobile phones.

This is a very huge industrial chain that is interlocked with each other. The terminal market and front-end production have checks and balances on each other. If you get one, it will be easier to control the other.

However, this kind of thing is still too far away from now. At present, we can only place bets in advance with small funds.

After Lei Shengli accepted the order, he arranged for a subordinate to follow up on the matter. The boss had already decided to invest. He only needed to decide how much to invest and what proportion he would get and how many orders the Midea factory would give in the future. The most important thing at the moment was It is necessary to discuss the location of the factory with several large cities in the mainland. This is the most important matter, because it is not only related to the home appliance industry, but also involves the transfer of the entire industry chain, as well as the future game console industry and computer industry. Transfer of industries.

Chen Zhiwen's purpose of coming to the mainland this time has basically been achieved. Although there are many things, the core purpose is actually one, that is, all his products can enter the mainland market in an all-round way.

Perhaps the current mainland market size is not even one-tenth that of the United States, but the first one to enter the market will have an unparalleled first-mover advantage. When everyone first learns about a product, the first brand they choose will be If there is no problem with the quality, then I won’t say that I am sure, but I will most likely have a favorable impression of it. Even because the comparison is with domestic products, as long as it is not ridiculously bad, it can be considered good.

On the last day in Yanjing, Qin Zhihao from Red Bull also came to Hong Kong. His negotiations with Shanghai were very fast. Within half a month, phased results were achieved. Therefore, he came to Yanjing specially. Jing reports to his boss.

"The choice of investment location is Pudong?" Chen Zhiwen asked after reading the report.

Qin Zhihao nodded and said: "Yes, there are indeed locations in many places in Puxi, but there are more or less many factories or residents, and they are also not very good locations in Puxi. Shanghai also recommends that we We built the factory in Pudong because our food factory does not have high requirements for supporting industries. Pudong used to be mainly farming, so grain transportation is more convenient.

However, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government has also made it clear that the advantage of having the factory in Pudong is that some people in Pudong do not have to travel back and forth between Pudong and Puxi every day, reducing traffic pressure. "

"Nowadays, Pudong is mainly farmland and villages?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

Although the value of Puxi will be higher than that of Pudong in the future, it does also depend on the location. How can the general location of Puxi be compared to the business district of Pudong?This is just like the relationship between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. The edge of Hong Kong Island cannot be compared to Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. It is far behind.

As for the high-quality location in Puxi, if the law allows it, it is possible for Chen Zhiwen to build an office building or shopping mall. The cost of such demolition is not very high, but a factory close to 1 square kilometer?No matter what, it is impossible to place it in a good location in Puxi, and if a large factory wants such a location, people have to suspect that it is for land.Although the Shanghai Stock Exchange has not yet started land trading, everyone is not stupid. The senior leaders of Shanghai Stock Exchange know what is going on in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Pudong, which has not yet been developed, is a good choice. In fact, he had this idea when he went to Shanghai before. However, there is no need to mention this kind of thing by himself. If he did, he would be at a disadvantage in the negotiation.

"It's not all farmland. On the other side of the river in Puxi, there are already many floors and new properties." Qin Zhihao replied.

"They seem to be very smart and know the location there." Chen Zhiwen smiled and nodded. As long as there are enough cruise ships crossing the river, the location on the other side is not bad at all. For example, the Harbor City owned by Wharf is on the other side of Central. As a result Relying on the Star Ferry, it took away a large number of customers from Central.

Of course, if there is a Harbor City in Central, then the one in Kowloon will definitely not be able to compete. But land in Central is so expensive, how can such a large land be possible?

"Then do we decide to build a factory in Pudong?" Qin Zhihao asked again.

"Yes, but we will choose the front and rear location opposite the bustling area of ​​Puxi and build the factory there." Chen Zhiwen agreed.

As long as the 90s are reached, the value of Pudong will immediately rise exponentially, far exceeding the average value of Shanghai. And there are no local competitors. This is a new market. Therefore, in addition to special industries such as retail that need to bloom everywhere, in Shanghai Chen Zhiwen will also prefer to invest in Pudong in the future when investing in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.Placing Red Bull's super factory in Pudong is also good for the local economy. Pudong has not yet become a special economic zone. There should be only a small amount of resources invested here in the entire Shanghai city. As far as he knows, those who live in Pudong There are so many people.

"I would rather buy a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong." This sentence is enough to show that the gap between Pudong and Puxi is as big as heaven and earth at present. Another reason is that Pudong is now mainly based on agriculture and small quantities. Mainly industrial, Puxi brings together all the essence of Shanghai.

Before the reopening, everyone's positions were fixed. Although the flow of people between Pudong and Puxi was not small, it could still be controlled. However, after the reopening, a large number of jobs in Puxi attracted people from Pudong. After all, farming for a year may not be as good as working for a month. Even if a formal job is a guaranteed job, there will not be much more suddenly, but even a temporary job is much better than farming.

Hu Yingxiang was invited to build a bridge between Pudong and Puxi for this reason.

If you build a large factory in Pudong, you will definitely be able to establish a good relationship with the local area. When the Pudong Special Zone is established, and you have strong capital, you will naturally be able to get close to the water on a first-come-first-served basis. Moreover, just 1 square kilometer of land in a good location will be of such value. It’s so amazing that even if the industry needs to be converted into business in the future, it won’t be a big deal.

If it weren't for the fact that we can now invest in factories, it would be almost impossible to acquire such a large piece of land, because in the 80s, it was impossible to acquire land without any reason. This is stipulated by law, and Pudong The special zone was established in the early 90s. Once it was established, it would become the focus of the country, with all domestic and foreign capital pouring in. Under those circumstances, if Chen Zhiwen wanted to participate, it would be easy to build a few buildings, but he wanted to acquire 1 square kilometer of land. , or close to the river, this is almost impossible. Just like the current Kowloon Peninsula, even if the gods come, they will not be able to get such a large area of ​​land.

The government also has a development plan, and the land is developed piece by piece. Outsiders can only seize the opportunity and buy it at the right time.But if it had already been a factory, then the government would have no choice but to negotiate.

"Okay, if it is near the Yangtze River, it will be much more convenient for us to purchase and ship goods. When I go back to negotiate with the Shanghai Municipal Government to confirm the location, I will inform Chen Sheng." Qin Zhihao nodded and said, he did not think about real estate. After all, Pudong is still too desolate now.

"Well, okay, but I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow, and I may go to the United States later. You may have to wait a while." Chen Zhiwen said again.

In the first half of this year, his core was basically in Hong Kong, Europe, and the Mainland. He has not been to the United States yet. After so many years of accumulation, there are some things there.Although U.S. businesses can report to Hong Kong, many things cannot be decided by reporting alone.

"Okay." Qin Zhihao nodded and asked: "Chen Sheng, one more thing. We were originally planning to purchase the most advanced instant noodle production line from Japan, but Shanghai had other ideas and they didn't want us to use advanced The assembly line, but we want us to use manual methods as much as possible.”

"Are you trying to increase the number of jobs?" Chen Zhiwen understood immediately after hearing this. Any local government in any era is very concerned about employment, because employment is the basis for local economic development, especially young people who have no jobs. On the contrary, it may become a social hazard. In the past two years in Hong Kong, due to the real estate crisis, a large number of construction sites were suspended. Even if the Hong Kong government ran a fiscal deficit, it insisted on increasing the construction of infrastructure and trying to ensure that more people were employed.

"Yes." Qin Zhihao nodded and said.

"What about efficiency? How much impact will it have if manual work is used?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"The efficiency will be slower, and our investment will be much less. Although the subsequent salary costs will be higher, because of the low labor costs in the mainland, it will probably take many years to even out the situation." Qin Zhihao replied: "If you still want to To ensure the original efficiency, we need to increase the scale.”

"I'll probably be happier going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange this way." Chen Zhiwen smiled, and then said: "It's not non-negotiable, but since it has caused a decrease in our efficiency, let the government compensate it from other places, such as larger land or tax revenue. With preferential treatment, we can provide more jobs for the Shanghai stock market, but we cannot lose money. This is the principle."

In fact, if you get more land, you will be able to compensate for any losses, but you still have to maximize your profits, because you will provide more jobs for the Shanghai stock market.

"Okay." Qin Zhihao agreed.
