The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 555 The beginning of a large-scale march into the mainland

"Okay, I also hope to see this game appear earlier. It must be the best quality game." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Apart from providing a creative framework, he could not help much. Whether it can succeed or not, he It can't be controlled. Unlike the previous simple games, he can remember the content of simple games and it is easy for engineers to reproduce them. However, with the development of chip technology, the content of games has become more complex, and he does not have this ability. The memory ability is improved, not only in The King of Fighters, but also in future games.

However, the probability of success is still a little bit, after all, creativity is the most important, and now Midea also has the strongest game team, so it will not be any worse.

Although its own advantages will slowly fade over time, before that, Midea also relied on its early advantages and the strategy of giving away [-]% of the profits to control a large part of the third-party development market, as long as there were no major accidents. , then basically there will be no problem in maintaining this advantage into the Internet era.

In the early days of any large company, such as Microsoft, Bill Gates was almost responsible for its core products. But when Microsoft becomes a global software giant, Bill Gates' role will inevitably decline like Chen Zhiwen today. A large company, in terms of technology and products, still relies on a group and is unlikely to be one person. Instead, management may rely purely on the ability of one person.

Let the future Midea be able to develop on its own, and just help out occasionally and act as a spiritual symbol. Only in this way can the company truly become bigger, more stable and stronger, and your own life will be easier, even including Red Bull, Hutchison Whampoa, Land, and Disney. This should be the case.

"We will go all out." Lei Shengli promised.

"Well, let's leave it like that for now." Chen Zhiwen nodded and asked, "How are the plans for Midea's Gigafactory in the Mainland?"

I went to the Mainland half a year ago and discussed many major issues with the Mainland at that time, including Red Bull building a new product factory in Shanghai to mainly produce instant noodles, and the Yanjing Jeep joint venture introducing a sedan from AMC in the United States. These two The matter is basically settled now. The former has built a factory with an area of ​​about 800 hectares next to the Huangpu River in Pudong. It mainly produces instant noodles and Super Coke for domestic demand.

Yanjing Jeep has also made an agreement with domestic automobile manufacturers to introduce a car called "gremlin" from AMC in the United States. This car is also AMC's latest car in the 70s. Technically, it is better than the car in the 60s. Santana is even better. To put it simply, the fuel consumption may be slightly higher, but the safety is much higher. After Chen Zhiwen found out, he specifically requested the addition of a driver airbag. This would not only add another selling point, but also allow for development. Domestic industries related to "airbags".

At present, airbags are only used by a small number of cars, mostly luxury cars, and even if they are installed, they are only for the main driver, so the market is not big, but Chen Zhiwen knows that in the future, there will be several in almost every car, and the market The development speed is so fast that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is exponential. This is very suitable for investment. However, it involves a relatively complex chemical industry. There is no advantage in entering the market on your own. Therefore, it is better to let Hutchison Whampoa choose several domestic companies. Invest in companies with potential, give them funds for research and development, and make indirect profits yourself.

Naturally, the new car production line will still be in Yanjing. This has been decided for a long time. Only the largest Midea Gigafactory has its own goal of producing a billion-dollar home appliance and game industry, and will also develop the entire industry incidentally. The number of jobs driven by the chain is estimated to be in the order of [-]. This will naturally cause competition among major cities in the country, and Midea will also negotiate with each company based on the situation.

"Currently, Shenhai City offers the most discounts. It is tax-free for the first ten years and half-tax for the next ten years. All land is free. We don't even need to be responsible for the cost of demolition. Considering the fact that Shenhai City is far away from the city, Hong Kong is close, and currently we internally believe that the most suitable option is the deep sea," Lei Shengli said.

"Ten years of tax exemption and ten years of half tax? This is really generous." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Can't other cities give it?"

"Shanghai and Yanjing also offered such conditions. It is estimated that they also wanted to increase the stakes, but it was said that they were rejected by the central government. The central government should not allow such a competition model between localities." Lei Shengli said: "But Shenhai gave it The land area is large, the location is good, and there is no need to consider the cost of demolition, which neither Yanjing nor Shanghai can do.”

"That's because Shenhai is a new city, and a large area of ​​land around it is empty or farmland, right? Shanghai, Yanjing or Guangdong are not suitable. The longer they develop, the surrounding locations will be lost, and the cost of demolition will be very high. "Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The first purpose of choosing to invest heavily in China is to form a complete industrial chain outside Hong Kong. The second purpose is to make full use of the mainland's demographic advantages to reduce costs, while also creating employment and helping a large number of mainland people escape poverty. The third purpose is to For his own sake, he needs to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire large quantities of land in high-quality locations in the mainland.

On his side, the mainland government, and the millions of people in the mainland, this investment can be said to be able to kill three birds with one stone. Therefore, his requirement is to be around the city. But in this regard, Shanghai and Yanjing are obviously not as good as the newly established In the deep sea in a few years, if you choose a place to build a factory near the deep sea city at this time, it will be a prime real estate location in a dozen years.

It’s not that I have to hoard domestic land on a large scale, but since it is an investment and can help the country obtain employment and foreign exchange, there is no reason to choose a location that will be worthless in the future, right?Not to mention capitalists, any ordinary person will make the same choice as himself. Whoever is born again will not buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or other second-tier cities after having a sum of money, but will only go to a fifth-tier city to build a big house in the countryside. wild? "Yes, the cost of demolition is a small matter, but if too many people are involved, it may be very troublesome. In the past few years in Hong Kong, there were many such things in the newspapers every year. Although the mainland government promised that they would solve all problem, but it still takes too much time, and the deep sea city is close to the port, export is very convenient, and the entire industry chain is relatively mature, it just needs to expand the scale." Lei Shengli replied.

"Well, that's fine. Since you have chosen Shenhai, let's make a decision as soon as possible. There are many strategies in Shenhai City that are better for foreign investment." Chen Zhiwen also agreed.

Hong Kong's real estate market is now poised for development. By the middle of next year, the real estate speculation trend of previous years will reappear. When housing prices rise sharply, not only will the operating costs of factories increase significantly, but also some capable people will also Will leave the factory and go to the real estate industry.

When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is inevitable. When the real estate market explodes, attracted by too much wealth, the talents of many companies will also be attracted. Let’s talk about the simplest one, If a person's houses are worth several million and the rent collected is tens of thousands a month, how can he continue to do a job that earns two to three thousand a month?I would rather lie down at home than go to work.work?What good future can there be?In later generations, there are still many employees of many companies who have resigned due to the demolition of their homes. Such things will also happen in Hong Kong.

Even Midea cannot provide very high-quality jobs and income to too many people, but the explosive growth of the real estate market can. This is the contradiction. Compared with this, the increase in labor costs has not. This has a big impact.

"Okay, after negotiating with Shenhai, the contracts between all parties will be reviewed and then handed over to you." Lei Shengli said.

Although he is the general manager of Midea, such a major investment matter requires the senior management of the entire company to discuss it together. In addition, it also requires the participation of the headquarters office.

"Well, there are also Shanghai, Yanjing and Guangdong. Although I won't cooperate with them in this investment, I would like to mention that there are many places where we can cooperate in the future." Chen Zhiwen added: "This is actually true, Deep Sea The city is a large-scale industrial park for us, but it is not possible for all Midea products to be produced here. There is also the matter of supply chain procurement, and some procurement can also be arranged to these cities."

In the next ten years, the entire electronics industry will develop very rapidly. If you succeed, for example in the computer field, digital cameras, notebook computers and other markets, as long as you capture a small share of the global market, then the factories for each item will be The scale may not be lower than the one planned in Deep Sea City, not to mention that the demand for just home appliances and game consoles will be increasing in the future, and it is also possible to look for development opportunities in other cities.

"Actually, I almost said the same thing." Lei Shengli said with a smile.

"Yeah, okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Lei Shengli added: "By the way, Chen Sheng, the central government has also agreed in principle that all our game consoles will be sold domestically. However, there are also requirements that they are not allowed to be sold to students, but only to adults."

"That's okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded. Even in Europe and the United States, such high-value items are unlikely to be sold directly to students themselves. Only their families can afford them, let alone in China now.Then he said: "You should also be familiar with the arcade mode in Japan, right?"

"Chen Sheng means to build this kind of arcade game arcade in China?" Lei Shengli suddenly understood: "Is it just that there are so many people in China who can consume it?"

"There are relatively few, so now the priority is to build in cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai. There are still smart people in the local area, and they will find this business opportunity." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
