Chapter 661 Am I Late?
In the mid-90s, domestic industrial upgrading was initially completed, home appliance electronics companies sprung up like mushrooms, and competition in the domestic market became fierce.

Exports throughout the 90s were basically very few. At that time, the foreign trade that many people talked about was imports, including steel, oil, etc., and foreign exports were raw materials dominated by state-owned enterprises, such as rare earths and timber. , coal, ore, or low-end manufacturing, clothes, bags, etc.

The international environment began to relax towards our country, and entered the honeymoon period with the United States. We exported low-end manufacturing and raw materials in exchange for precious foreign exchange, and imported high-end machine tools from the world with foreign exchange for remanufacturing.

The time when home appliances ruled the world was after joining the WTO, the global trade export started, the developed countries eliminated the low-end manufacturing industry, and began to develop in the financial field, and the country began to attract foreign investment on a large scale, which opened the two decades of accumulation.

In this era, the export trade of home appliances is itself the first to eat crabs. This kind of window and opportunity cannot be grasped by any domestic company, and everyone does not know much about international trade.

Coupled with the complex international environment, if you want your products to enter another country easily, the process of product certification, quality inspection, certificate of conformity, etc. is enough to make a company wait from life to death.

Moreover, there are more twists and turns in the customs, which cannot be handled by a single company. To put it simply, the way of foreign trade does not earn much, but it earns a lot of money.

This is also the reason why domestic companies don't want to do it. In addition, the general environment is really bad. Let alone now, in 2020, foreign trade orders in the medical field have increased sharply, and how many products are exported from coastal areas. As a result, the final payment When the world is old and I don’t know how many foreign trade companies have been dragged down, don’t ask, it’s bitter tears.

In this day and age, there are road bandits in China, and it is the same in the world. Pirates are rampant on the high seas. It is not unheard of for buyers to join forces with pirates to rob halfway. When it comes to pirates, it's not some cool Caribbean pirates, but Mahler Gobi pirates!
It was because of many reasons that Li Guangfa pinched Lu Feng to death and dared not do anything to him, unless it was because he didn't want to take the road of foreign trade.

In Liucheng's office, the approval documents for home appliances had been piled up into a hill, and most of them were signed by Liucheng and Zhu Lidong.

"At present, we have made preliminary research and development on the three major items of refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, but the core components are still purchased, such as compressors and refrigerators. In such a short period of time, we can make The only thing is to design the shape." Liu Cheng said frankly.

Lu Feng flipped through the documents in his hand, and if he wanted to rush them out in a short time, he must have copied them, and a large number of assembled parts were put together.

After flipping through it for a while, Lu Feng was just about to speak when he saw Su Yourong next to him, and said, "Go outside and have a cup of coffee."

"I'll find someone to arrange it!" Liu Cheng immediately understood, stood up and opened the door and said, "Xiao Liu, take this beauty to have a cup of coffee and take a rest."

"Can't I drink coffee here?" Su Yourong was a little unhappy, she stood up and said, "Isn't it just to talk about products, I can't listen anymore? I'm not your competitor."

"Don't think too much, the main thing is to catch the plane, you didn't have a good rest last night, go take a rest, this kind of thing is very boring." Lu Feng patted the folder and said: "What kind of industrial chain are they, the product design is messy, Means nothing."

After Lu Feng said that, she couldn't help but pick up her bag casually, turned around and left.

After closing the door, Liu Cheng turned around and asked Lu Feng with a mysterious face, "Who is she?"

"A rich and beautiful woman." Lu Feng replied.

"Rich woman?" Liu Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Would she be related to next year's budget?"

"Yes, it's related!" Lu Feng didn't want to talk too much about Su Yourong.

Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, Liu Cheng had a little brainstorming and thought that this woman should have something to do with Lu Feng's divorce. Jiafeng Electronics was burning too much money. If the current expansion rate continues, how much money will be burned in the future.

No matter how much money Lu Feng can make, he won't be able to earn so much. After the company is conglomerated, it will usher in another round of expansion. Where can we get so much money?
Find a rich woman!

Liu Cheng sighed secretly, looked at Lu Feng, outsiders thought he was brilliant, only the higher-ups knew how difficult it was for him, and now he has fallen to this point.

Of course, if next year's research and development funds are insufficient, no matter how much Liu Cheng feels sorry for Lu Feng, he will try his best to help him find more rich women. After all, research and development is the most important thing. Besides, Lu Feng is still young and in good health. , Some money is earned by young people.

Lu Feng flipped through the design blueprints in his hand, never dreaming that in just a few minutes, the boss of his research and development company found a good way to make a fortune for himself.

"Except for the core components, we can produce others by ourselves. We will try our best to reduce the unit price. Others are fine. Home appliances will be launched next year along with the Vipuda TV iteration." Lu Feng instructed.

"Except for the core components, we can indeed produce the others ourselves, but if they are imitated, it is easy to get a lawsuit." Liu Cheng muttered.

"Don't be afraid of lawsuits, don't copy the domestic ones, anyway, just copy the foreign ones, anyone who is not listed in the domestic market can copy." Lu Feng put the folder aside and said: "Including The appearance design can also be taken directly. Their product design has passed the test of the market. Most domestic users don’t know what it looks like outside. Who?"

After all, Liu Cheng was born in research and development, and he is quite ethical about copyright, and he is quite indifferent in his heart. Although he agreed, his face is full of reluctance.

"Don't feel uncomfortable, just say, money and face?" Lu Feng asked.

"Boss Lu, I'm telling the truth, I want both money and face!" Liu Cheng smiled wryly.

"Where is everything you need, go and look at the history of industrial development, which one is not plagiarism in the early stage, independent research and development in the later stage, copying this thing, you have to think about it after copying, and you will find your own way in the future." Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder. He said: "After the conglomeration, home appliances will become a category. At that time, there will be a specific person in charge. I won't take care of it anymore. Didn't I call you before to talk about communication?"

"Yes, what are you going to do in terms of communication?" Liu Cheng silently thought about the research and development. This is all money. The research and development of any product needs to spend a lot of money. After thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Lu, Next year's pace seems to be a bit big!"

"We didn't make much progress in those years, and the egg is still good now. Now there are more paging platforms in China, and the price of pagers is still very expensive. What we have to do is to break the price." Lu Feng said seriously.

Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, he knew something about the pager market, and said, "Mr. Lu, I think the future market for pagers is average. The country is now vigorously promoting telephone booths, and many small shops have also begun to install phones. Now some manufacturers are already doing it, and last year, Waveguide Electronics Communications was established to make pagers, as well as Taifeng Electronics.”

Of course, Lu Feng knows that there are companies in China that are already doing it, but from 94 to 98, the rapid growth of pagers in the past four years has soared from less than [-] million units to nearly [-] million units. quantity.

The most important thing is that the information transmission technology of the pager lays the foundation for the future mobile phone manufacturing industry, which is equivalent to getting tickets earlier than other companies, especially the network access certificate and production license.

"Don't be afraid of competition. Communication is the mainstream in the future. You must enter the market early in this aspect, especially in terms of technology accumulation. There is one more thing next year. You have to take a snack, and that is to find an inexpensive company from the world. R&D companies have accumulated in the semiconductor field." Lu Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and said, "Next year we will focus on investing in this area, and at the same time compete in pagers."

International acquisitions?

Liu Cheng had heard him mention the acquisition of an international research and development company before, but he didn't expect it to be real. This would require a large sum of money.

"President Lu, I want to know, how much is our research and development budget for next year?" Liu Cheng cautiously probed.

"Four to five billion." Lu Feng wrote lightly.

When Liu Cheng heard this number, his heart skipped a beat, where did he get so much money?
"We'll discuss this matter at that time. From next year, we need to strengthen the accumulation of technology in the communication field, especially core semiconductors." Lu Feng glanced at the time and said to Liu Cheng: "At that time, we will have a meeting to talk about it in detail. , it's getting late, I have to rush to the dinner."

"Okay, are you going home tonight, or staying in a hotel?" Liu Cheng said, "If you're staying in a hotel, I'll ask someone to arrange it."

Lu Feng thought for a while and said, "Let's stay in a hotel!"

At around six o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng got into the car and drove towards the agreed hotel. Su Yourong sat beside him and said, "I drank a big bucket of coffee all afternoon."

"Drink more hot water, it's good." Lu Feng said without turning his head.

"Warm heart?"

"No! Warming Sutra!"

Su Yourong couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and stopped talking.

Lu Feng arrived at the private room of the hotel, ordered the meal, and waited for more than an hour before the waiter opened the door and said, "Boss Lu, your distinguished guest is here."

President Li swaggered in with two vice presidents. When he saw Lu Feng, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, President Lu. You don't stand up when you see me, doesn't it seem appropriate?"

"You're late for an entire hour!" Lu Feng's face was not easy to see.

"I'm late?"

The waiter pulled away the chair, Li Guangfa sat on it, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Haven't you figured out what your status is now? I'll be late? Beauty, am I late?"

Su Yourong nudged Lu Feng with her elbow, and signaled him not to be so pointed at Maimang. Now is the time to bow her head, and said with a smile, "You came just in time, we are here early."
