The car parked at the intersection of Renmin South Road and Jiabin Road, at the main entrance of Feihong Building. A serviceman in an orange dress at the entrance of the building came up to open the door attentively. Before the official opening of the International Trade Building on the other side of the road, the 40-storey Feihong Building has always been the tallest building in the Deep Sea Special Zone and mainland China.

However, the International Trade Building has been confirmed to be put into use before the end of the year, so the title of the tallest building in China, Feihong Building can be retained for at most half a year. Walking into the reception hall of the building, a large photo frame with a length of four meters and a width of two meters is hung in a prominent position. The photo inside is exactly the scene when Mr. D cut the ribbon for Feihong Building during his southern tour last year.

Feihong Building is a comprehensive commercial center. The top six floors are the first four-star hotel in the Deep Sea Special Zone. The three underground floors were originally planned to be reserved for parking lots. But now there are very few cars in the mainland, so it is more than enough to just take out one floor as a parking lot.

The remaining two floors were transformed into a large shopping mall, and the behind-the-scenes owner of this shopping center is Lizhi. After Limei started to join the business world a few years ago, she is now a well-known strong woman in the SAR. But since her daughter Xiaodoubao fell to the ground, Lizhi seems to have lost interest in Shanghai again.

She now puts almost all her energy on taking care of her daughter, and leaves business affairs to others. She is not in the SAR these days, but took her daughter to see her grandmother in Shanghai. Otherwise, Zhong Chuhong would definitely not be willing to accompany Li Xuan to her site!

Before the Feihong Building began to recruit, Li Xuan asked Lin Yuhao to keep a floor for himself as the office of the Oriental Group. With the continuous expansion of Dongfang Group's business in the deep-sea special zone, the employees of the office have gradually filled the entire office building.

The occupancy rate of the office area of ​​Feihong Building is 100%. So several office elevators in the building have been very busy. Li Xuan and Ke Lilun had just walked to the elevator entrance when several young people standing there chatting and laughing suddenly restrained their expressions. Two of them respectfully said hello to Ke Lilun.

"Li Sheng, hello!" The other person greeted Li Xuan first in Cantonese.

"You know me?" Li Xuan smiled kindly at each other.

"Liu Chang is one of the first batch of Tsinghua top students who participated in the 'Dongfanghong' exchange program. He is also one of the first batch of fresh graduates we recruited in domestic colleges and universities. I met you when I participated in the induction training in Hong Kong before!" Ke Lilun did not wait for Liu Chang himself He opened his mouth and explained it on his behalf.

At this time, the other two young people finally recognized Li Xuan. In fact, none of the employees of Dongfang Group did not know their big boss, but Li Xuan had never been to this office in Feihong Building before, so the other two did not expect to meet Li Xuan at all.

Ke Lilun briefly introduced the situation of the other two people to Li Xuan. They also joined the Oriental Group last year. They had been working in Guangdong City before, and later decided to resign to work in the Deep Sea Special Zone. Curran has a very good memory. Almost every employee under him has an impression.

Dongfang Group is located in the office of Feihong Building, and its official name is Dongfang Commercial Deep Sea Branch. Its main job is to coordinate the various investment matters of Dongfang Group in the deep-sea special zone. The general manager of this branch is not Ke Lilun, because Ke Lilun's status is higher than that of the general manager of the company.

He is the special representative of the group headquarters and is solely responsible for all matters of the Oriental Group in the deep sea special zone. At present, the large-scale sole proprietorship projects built by the Oriental Group in the deep-sea special zone include the Asian Picture Tube Factory, the Oriental Factory, and the Fairchild Deep-sea Wafer Factory, as well as a number of joint ventures, cooperation, and projects that provide technical support.

The Dongfang Commercial Deep Sea Branch is the main force used by Ke Lilun to handle various complicated tasks. In the first half of this year alone, the deep-sea branch recruited another 30 people. The total number of people exceeded 150. Only a few of them were dispatched from Hong Kong, and most of the staff were recruited locally from the Deep Sea Special Administrative Region.

"Li Sheng, according to the statistics of the relevant departments in the mainland, as of the end of last year, the number of color TVs owned by urban residents was only 17 per 100 households, and the number of color TVs owned by rural residents per 100 households was 0.8. With the continuous growth of the mainland economy , the per capita income is increasing. In the next three to five years, the sales of color TVs in the domestic market will usher in an explosive growth!

And for domestic electronics factories. The profit of producing color TV is also very considerable. The cost of importing a 14-inch color TV set from Hong Kong is about 200 US dollars. The ex-factory price after assembly is about 750 yuan. That is to say, every time a TV is produced, there can be at least a profit of 150 yuan!

And if some parts can be localized and the purchase of imported parts can be reduced, the profit that the factory can get will be even higher! Therefore, in recent years, mainland electronics companies have begun to gather together to introduce TV production lines.

According to the data we have obtained, in the five years from 1980 to the present, various domestic electronics factories have imported more than 40 TV production lines from abroad.

And because the profit of producing TV sets is much higher than that of electronic products such as radios and tape recorders, more and more electronics factories will focus on TV manufacturing. It is said that before the end of the year, there will be more than a dozen new TV production lines in China!

Because we have a good precedent for cooperation with Huaqiang Electronics Factory, I have received more than ten joint venture invitations in the past month! "Ko Lilun welcomed Li Xuan into his office.

Listening to Ke Lilun's introduction, Li Xuan was not at all surprised by the situation in China. TV sets should be one of the earliest industrial products in the mainland that were unsalable on a large scale. That's why Changhong Company's later industrial price war to serve the country, to put it bluntly, is to dump inventory at low prices!

He shook his head and sighed: "Even if the domestic demand for color TVs will explode, but in the face of this kind of blind production capacity expansion, I estimate that within four or five years, the mainland will face an oversupply situation!

This time, we built a joint venture with Huaqiang Electronics, on the one hand, to deepen the good relationship with the Shenhai Municipal Government, and on the other hand, to further consolidate the TV industry base we built in the special zone!

Only by allowing state-owned enterprises to join in, will our industrial layout be supported by the government to the greatest extent! As for companies outside the SAR. We will only cooperate and not joint ventures in the future, and we can provide technical support! Whether they are going to the production line. Still need the technology of core components such as picture tubes, we can give them all. As long as they have enough funds! "

"We are currently negotiating with Aihua, another large electronic company in the special zone, and hope to jointly produce audio-visual products such as radios, tape recorders, and video recorders!" Ke Lilun continued to introduce.

The company's product category is not only limited to TV sets. Aside from unreliable businesses such as blankets and insurance, the company also produces a variety of audio and video equipment such as radios, record players, VCRs, and video cameras.

In addition to the TV station, the largest television network in the United States, the broadcast company also has a network of hundreds of local radio stations, the largest radio network in the United States! In addition, the company also has a record company, which is an important company in the American music field, but in the company's recent industrial restructuring. It's been sold out!

Among the consumer electronics products produced by the company, the sales volume of radios is actually not much less than that of TVs! In the Hollywood classic "Groundhog Day", there is a scene where the radio on the bedside wakes the protagonist with an alarm at 6:00 in the morning, and then starts to broadcast the radio program.

The same shot has appeared in countless other American movies, and this kind of alarm clock radio, which sells for forty or fifty dollars, is not uncommon in American homes and hotels.

The company recently developed a new TV alarm clock radio, adding a 4.5-inch black-and-white monitor to the original, allowing users to watch TV programs when they wake up. This new product is priced at $79. It is said that sales are also so-so!

In addition, the company also has a large market share in the car radio market. America is a country on wheels, and almost everyone has a car. And audio equipment is an essential accessory in every car. From the early radios, to the car stereos that integrate the tape recorder function and can play tape music.

The company's radio manufacturing business. It will also be gradually transferred to the deep-sea special zone in the next few years. The biggest effect brought by Li Xuan's acquisition of the company. That is, the Oriental Group began to enter the mainland ahead of schedule.

Before Li Xuan's acquisition, the Oriental Group's investment in China was not much. Because of the three major businesses of the Oriental Group's semiconductors, games and personal computers. Not suitable for entering the mainland.

The Batumi organization strictly restricts the export of chips with more than 8 bits to China, while the arcade machines and personal computers sold by the Oriental Group all use erm series processors. Therefore, arcade machines and personal computers are not suitable, and they are transferred to China for assembly and manufacturing.

After the acquisition of the company by the Oriental Group, most of the consumer electronic products sold by it are not within the scope of the Batumi embargo! In order to reduce production costs, Li Xuan made a big step into the mainland ahead of time!

"Li Sheng, Mayor Liang told me just now that he wants to visit you, the God of Wealth!" Yang Lingjun, the president of Jiahua Bank, walked in and saw that Li Xuan was also there, so he laughed out loud.

"I don't have a lot of money in my hand, he just needs to win over you, the God of Wealth!" Li Xuan waved his hand with a smile.

In fact, Li Xuan would come to Shenhai City for one night every few days, but he came to accompany Lizhi and his lovely little daughter in his own name. If it had to, the Shenhai Municipal Government would not disturb Li Xuan's private time, because he was notoriously lazy to socialize.

"There is a saying in the Special Economic Zone recently that the China Merchants Bureau is the most relaxed department! Even if you sleep at home every day, you can still exceed the work target! Mayor Liang should indeed give Li Sheng a certificate!" .

In the past year or so, just because of the transfer of the company's TV industry, the deep-sea special zone has absorbed as much as 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in foreign investment. It can be said that the investment promotion bureau of the Deep Sea Special Zone can definitely be awarded the best department in the country for investment promotion, although they have done nothing!

And what makes the deep-sea special zone even more happy is that the follow-up industrial agglomeration effect is also emerging. For example, after Japan's Sanyo Company lost to Dongfang Group in the joint venture project with Huaqiang Electronics Factory, it turned to cooperate with another large electronics company in the Deep Sea Special Zone, the Deep Sea Electronics Group.

Deep Sea Electronics Group is a large-scale electronic company established at the beginning of this year by integrating the factories built by major state-owned electronic factories in the special zone of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Together with Huaqiang Company and Aihua Company, it constitutes the main frame of the Shangbu Electronic Industrial Zone in the Deep Sea Special Zone.

"Mayor Liang just asked me if Jiahua Bank could provide loans for the joint venture project between Shenhai Electronics Group and Japan's Sanyo. They are going to jointly build a production line with an annual output of 300,000 color TVs!" Yang Lingjun smiled. said.

"Why refuse! We are open for business, and we never overbearingly demand that domestic companies must only cooperate with our family!" Li Xuan shook his head with a smile and said.

"That's what I said. And I assured Mayor Liang at the time that as long as the application from the Deep Sea Electronics Group meets our review requirements, we will definitely give the most favorable loan interest rate!

It is said that Japanese banks are also very interested in providing loans. I also pointed out to Mayor Liang that the yen has always been in an appreciation channel. If domestic companies apply for yen loans, they may face considerable exchange rate losses when repaying in the future! "Yang Lingjun said with a smile.

"Old Yang, what is the scale of Jiahua's domestic credit?" Li Xuan asked Yang Lingjun.

"As of the beginning of June, our total loans to the mainland reached 8.15 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars were concentrated in the deep-sea special zone!" Yang Ling reported two numbers casually~www.readwn.com~ In the past two or three years, Jiahua Bank alone has injected up to 700 million US dollars into the deep-sea special zone. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xuan called Yang Lingjun the God of Wealth of the Shenhai Municipal Government.

Of course, the main flow of these funds of Jiahuayin is actually closely related to the industrial layout of the Oriental Group. When Li Xuan acquired Jiahua Bank, he hoped to use financial means to strengthen the ability of Oriental Group to carry out industrial layout. Most of those companies that are supported by Jiahua Bank's credit are companies that conform to the interests of the Oriental Group.

The loans granted by Jiahua Bank in the Deep Sea Special Zone are not limited to Hong Kong enterprises. Many domestic enterprises that have settled in the Deep Sea Special Zone can also obtain foreign exchange loans from Jiahua Bank as long as they meet the requirements.

More and more domestic enterprises are joining in the supply, marketing and procurement system that the Oriental Group vigorously promotes. And these companies that can get orders can easily get loans from Jiahua Bank when they seek to expand production.

And the Oriental Group also took this opportunity to continuously put its roots into deeper strata. Because every company that joins the Eastern system has actually become a community of interests in this system. (To be continued..)
