Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 578 Good News

"Patriot! You called me this early in the morning. Has the OEM matter come to an end?" The call was quickly connected. Before Wu Aiguo could speak, Boss Kou asked cordially on the phone. Voice.

Wu Aiguo heard Boss Kou's inquiry and immediately replied with a smile: "Boss Kou! I just received a call from Lou Zhenhua from Pengcheng. He has reached a preliminary agreement with General Electric Company of America."

"General Electric Company of America decided to hand over color TVs and washing machines to us for OEM production. The OEM fee for color TVs is US$[-] per unit, and for washing machines is US$[-]!"

The OEM fee of 50 US dollars per unit is equivalent to almost [-] yuan in Chinese currency. For China, whose per capita salary is only [-] to [-] yuan, it is definitely another means of earning foreign exchange.

Boss Kou was very surprised when he learned about the OEM price that Wu Aiguo told him. If you want to know the price of some of China's products exported abroad, it would be worse than the OEM price for General Electric Company.

However, he was happy. Boss Kou quickly thought of a key question and asked Wu Aiguo solemnly: "Aiguo! Although we have a TV manufacturing factory in Jingu City, Jingu TV The manufacturing plant can only produce black and white TVs. As for the technology for color TVs, we don’t have it at all. How can we help American companies produce color TVs?”

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's doubts, he smiled and said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! Do you still remember what I told you last time? Working for General Electric Company, earning foreign exchange is secondary, the most important thing is to borrow money Use the OEM method and learn the technology of General Electric Company."

"As for what you just mentioned, Mr. Lou Zhenhua has reached an agreement with General Electric Company. As long as we sign an OEM contract with the other party, General Electric Company will move a color TV production line to China and provide us with Technical support."

As the head of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Kou clearly knows that if General Electric Company really moves a production line to China, they can take advantage of the opportunity of producing color TVs to reverse engineer the production line technology and transfer all of General Electric Company's products to China. Taking possession of the color TV technology that we have mastered will definitely accelerate the development of China's industry in disguised form.

In order to make sure that he did not have auditory hallucinations just now, Boss Kou once again confirmed to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Is what you just said true? General Electric Company is really willing to move a color TV production line to us Coming from China?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry and felt his attitude, he replied very firmly: "Mr. Kou! This is absolutely true, but General Electric requires us to provide factory buildings and workers with certain skills."

For China, whether it is providing factories or skilled workers, as long as it can introduce technology, these are not a problem. After confirming that he was not hearing hallucinations, Mr. Kou happily said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriot! If we only provide factories and Skilled workers, that’s no problem at all.”

For Wu Aiguo, introducing General Electric Company is just the beginning. What he really wants to do is to take advantage of General Electric Company's OEM opportunity in China to show the advantages of China's cheap labor force to large international companies. He will take the opportunity to introduce more enterprises to promote China's economic development and avoid the recurrence of history that he does not want to see.

Thinking of the plan in his heart, Wu Aiguo said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! OEM for General Electric Company is just the beginning for China's manufacturing industry. When Western countries know about China's low labor costs, They will definitely come to you one after another, and we can take advantage of the opportunity of OEM to obtain more advanced technologies." When Wu Aiguo proposed OEM for Tongguo Electric Company before, considering the special domestic environment, Kou Aiguo The boss himself did not really support Wu Aiguo's idea. Later, when he heard the prospects described by Wu Aiguo, Mr. Kou changed his mind and helped Wu Aiguo report the matter to his superiors.

The superiors held a special meeting because of Wu Aiguo's proposal. At the meeting, a large number of people were opposed to Wu Aiguo's suggestion. They believed that Wu Aiguo's suggestion was like luring a wolf into the house. They even proposed to Thoroughly investigate Wu Aiguo’s overseas connections.

In the end, Mr. Ji and Mr. Zhi decided to support Wu Aiguo's proposal despite all opinions. The current results tell Mr. Kou that Wu Aiguo's proposal does more good than harm to China's development.

Boss Kou fantasized about the prospects described by Wu Aiguo, and said to Wu Aiguo happily: "Patriot! During the meeting that day, Mr. Wen said that if our country wants to develop, we must cross the river by feeling the stones. It seems that Mr. Wen is so What you said is absolutely correct. If we don’t try some things, we will never know whether it is right or wrong. Now it seems that your move should be the right one."

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's answer, he thought of his plan in his heart and said to Mr. Kou with a smile: "Mr. Kou! The people from General Electric Company of America are still waiting for our answer over there in Xiangjiang. Do you think we should send some troops?" A team of people went to Xiangjiang to sign an agreement with people from General Electric Company and discuss the specific matters of OEM."

After hearing Wu Aiguo's question, Boss Kou pondered for a while and then said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Regarding the question you mentioned, I need to report to my superiors before I can give you a specific answer."

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's answer, he was not surprised at all. He smiled and said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! Lou Zhenhua is still waiting for my reply in Pengcheng. If there is any result from your side, I hope you can You can contact me as soon as possible.”

Boss Kou heard Wu Aiguo's reminder and replied with a smile: "Okay! I'll call Mr. Zhi's office now. When the results come out, I will call you as soon as possible."

When Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's answer, he smiled and said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! Then I will wait for your good news in the office."

When Boss Kou heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he suddenly thought of the steelmaking equipment Wu Aiguo mentioned last time, and asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! When will the steelmaking equipment you mentioned last time be shipped to our country?" ?”

When Wu Aiguo heard Boss Kou ask about the steel-making equipment, he said to Boss Kou: "Mr. Kou! My friend told me that the sea is not peaceful now, and it will take about two or three months to transport the steel-making equipment. Our country.”

When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo say that the sea was not peaceful, he naturally knew very well what Wu Aiguo meant by not being peaceful. He immediately said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriot! Although our country has introduced several countries from your friends. A set of steel-making equipment, but there is still a gap in our country’s demand for steel. I hope your friend’s set of steel-making equipment can be shipped to our country as soon as possible.”
