Chapter 143: The rapidly rising "Oriental" (1)

When I met Mr. Fok Yingdong at the Jockey Club before, the other party invited Li Xuan to attend the Entrepreneurs Exchange Conference organized by the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce. [For more exciting novels, please visit] Li Xuan felt that it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed.

The reception was arranged in a three-star hotel in Kowloon. Li Xuan arrived at the banquet hall on time and was greeted by Mr. Zeng Xianzi, a famous patriotic Hong Kong businessman. Of course, now the Goldlion Group has just begun to look north to China, and he has not been called a patriotic businessman.

"Mr. Li Xuan, I have long admired your name!" Zeng Xianzi wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his eyes were very bright. He is the vice president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and this banquet will be organized by him.

"President Zeng, you are a senior, so disgusting! My father is a loyal customer of your company!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

His words were not intentional compliments. His father, Li Haichuan, did not recognize foreign famous brands and preferred Goldlion's ties. The two walked into the banquet hall chatting, and many members of the chamber of commerce had already arrived first. As soon as he came in, he saw several acquaintances warmly greeted him.

"Little Lisheng, you also come to the exchange meeting!" Lu Qintian, the boss of Lu's Electronics, said with a beaming face.

"Yeah, I met Mr. Huo before, and I came to see the world at his invitation!" Li Xuan said very politely.

After a while, a small area centered on Li Xuan was quickly surrounded by people. Among them are Lu Qintian of Lu's Electronics Company, Li Tianming, the boss of Xinnuo Electronics, and Qiu Yonghao, the boss of Advanced Electronics. Standing beside Li Xuan are the bosses of manufacturers in the supply chain system of Dongfang Electronics Company.

For example, Lu Qintian of Lu's Electronics Company, his company provides nearly 20,000 analog display screens for Dongfang Electronics' arcade factory every month. At the same time, it also OEM 3,000 monitors for Aikang Computer.

"Lu Sheng, I heard that you are going to the special zone to open a new factory again?" a boss next to him complimented.

Lu Qintian nodded thankfully to Li Xuan first. Cai Hehe smiled and said, "It's all up to Xiao Lisheng to take care of the business! There is a third-tier factory in Guizhou that wants to develop in the special zone. I think their factory's technical strength is not bad. I'm going to cooperate with them to build a new factory!"

The so-called third-tier factories refer to the bad relations between China and the Soviet Union at that time. Chairman Mao-Chairman shouted the slogan of "prepare for war", and a large number of powerful enterprises were relocated to the mountain valleys in the west for hidden development. Now the focus of the work of the central government has reverted to economic construction. These factories located in deep mountains and forests with inconvenient transportation will naturally find ways to find their own way.

The cooperation with Lu's Electronics Company is an electronics factory code-named "803" located in the deep mountains and forests of Guizhou. Factory 803 used to be mainly responsible for providing electronic components for other military enterprises, but now the country's orders are constantly decreasing.

The people around heard Lu Qintian say this. There was a bit of envy on his face, and the look in Li Xuan's eyes became even hotter. Sales of icon's -1 and -2 computers in the United States have been on the rise, and orders for monitors from Lu's Electronics have also been increasing. The three TV factories under Lu's Electronics are already operating at full capacity, and it is difficult to continue to increase production capacity. So Lu Qintian started planning to open a new factory.

Huo Yingdong accompanied Peng Fei, the director of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, into the banquet hall. The two noticed at a glance the group of people around Li Xuan who were discussing heatedly.

"Is this the 'Little Li Sheng' who is famous in Hong Kong? He looks younger than the photo, really young and promising!" President Peng asked Huo Yingdong with a smile.

"Yeah, the future generations are formidable!" Huo Yingdong nodded and said.

In Hong Kong, getting to know the Governor of Hong Kong is something worth showing off. And walking in with the Xinhua bureau chief is a controversial matter. Huo Yingdong was identified as a "pro-Communist" element by the Hong Kong government as early as the 1950s and 1960s. In the early years, he was worried about whether he would be deported from Hong Kong. Now he has no such worries. Naturally, there is no need to be as low-key as in previous years.

President Peng took the initiative to walk towards Li Xuan. One of his very important tasks in Hong Kong was to collect information on important social figures in Hong Kong and to do a good job of uniting the front. This "Little Li Sheng" has recently risen like a comet. It's so dazzling that it's hard to ignore.

The agency has naturally collected very detailed information about him, and it was recently included in the report on his desk. A word called "Oriental" appears very frequently.

For example, Lu Qintian, who stood beside Li Xuan and talked eloquently, his Lu's Electronics Company is considered a typical representative of "Oriental" companies. Lu Qintian is one of the first Hong Kong bosses to go to the mainland for cooperation. Peng Fei also knew all about his information.

At the Guangdong Fair last year, Lu Qintian reached a cooperation agreement with Guangdong Nanhua Machinery Factory to produce Texhong TV sets. At that time, the two sides argued for a long time about the export ratio of the products. It was finally determined that of the monthly output of 7,500 units, one third of the 7,500 units per month was sent to Hong Kong for sale by Lu Qintian, and the remaining two thirds were put on the shelves in various friendship stores in the mainland for sale.

In Sino-foreign cooperation projects, the most difficult issue for both parties to reach unification is often the issue of the proportion of products exported. Foreign businessmen hope to be able to sell locally and earn Chinese money. On the other hand, the Chinese side hopes to export all of them in exchange for more valuable foreign exchange.

The governments of various places, in order to allow local enterprises to expand their exports, have given their lives to various subsidies. If foreign governments in the 1980s followed the example of later generations to conduct "double-anti" investigations on Chinese products, they would definitely be accurate.

However, recently Lu Qintian reached a joint venture agreement with Guizhou 803 Factory under the coordination of the SAR government, but there was no such problem at all. Factory 803 is responsible for manpower, and Lu's Electronics Company is responsible for providing capital and equipment. The two sides cooperate to produce computer monitors that look similar to TV sets, and all products are exported.

Lu Qintian did not mention the domestic sales ratio at all, but asked the mainland to create all conditions for the factory to start production as soon as possible. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized that the workers must be experienced and skilled workers, and the quality inspection of the products produced in the future will be very strict.

Peng Fei naturally knew that the main reason for this abnormality was the young man standing next to Lu Qintian. Lu's Electronics Company was already too busy just arranging export orders, and would not consider domestic sales at all.

And even their previous agreement with Nanhua Machinery Works has been revised so that all production capacity is used to produce computer monitors. It's just that their company's requirements for the quality of computer monitors are indeed very strict, and the slightest flaw will be treated as a defective product.

For this reason, the technicians of Nanhua Machinery Factory almost turned against the quality inspectors sent from Hong Kong several times. Lu Qintian went directly to the provincial party committee leader of eastern Guangdong Province to file a complaint, and finally the province specially sent a deputy secretary to mediate the conflict between the two parties, and a compromise was finally reached.

When the compromise results, the quality standard of the product is completely determined by the Hong Kong quality inspector. Any product that is certified as unqualified will be put back on the production line to replace some components, and the computer monitor will be reworked into a TV for domestic sales.

The main reason why the Nanhua Machinery Factory was willing to accept this result was that the production of computer monitors was more profitable than the original production of TV sets. Moreover, the Hong Kong side never defaulted on the payment for goods, and the foreign exchange was transferred to the account of BOCHK as soon as the shipment was shipped.

It was only after Peng Fei's investigation that he learned that the testing standards for the display were not formulated by Lu's Electronics Company, but by the young man's Dongfang Electronics Company.

Although the Hong Kong inspector dispatched to Nanhua Machinery Factory is nominally an employee of Lu's Electronics Company, the boss Lu Qintian is also responsible for paying wages, but in fact all skills training is handled by Dongfang Electronics Company, and Lu Qintian himself can't get involved at all. .

Xinnuo Electronics, which has just invested in the construction of a new factory in Shekou Industrial Zone, is in a similar situation. Mr. Li Tianming, the boss of Sinomax, did not make various unreasonable demands like other Hong Kong businessmen who came to investigate. The only requirement was to let Shekou Industrial Zone speed up the construction of new factories.

And before the factory was built, Sino-Sino Electronics has already completed the recruitment with the cooperation of the Industrial Zone Management Committee, and dispatched professional technicians to start basic skills training for the workers. This is simply impossible for other Hong Kong bosses, because recruiting people in advance means a lot of extra expenses.

Two distinctive companies have one thing in common, that is, they belong to Eastern companies, and most of the orders that support their expansion come from Eastern Electronics.

As the saying goes, Peng Fei can guess the approximate size of Dongfang Electronics even without looking at the specific data. However, the exact figures given by various newspapers in Hong Kong are far more exaggerated than Peng Fei expected.

In such a small place like Hong Kong, there are more than 20 newspapers, and the fierce competition makes the newspapers do everything they can to chase news~www.readwn.com~. Some time ago, when the wealth myth of Li Xuan and Dongfang Electronics was hotly debated, all the reporters could not get the sales data from the public relations department of Dongfang Electronics Company, but one or two reporters who were struggling to find the customs declaration list of Dongfang Electronics from the customs office, and then The vast number of Shentong inquired about the export prices of various products from various channels.

As a result, a detailed and accurate sales list of Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. was presented to all Hong Kong citizens. Arcade machines, handheld game consoles, personal computers, all sales data add up, and Dongfang Electronics' monthly sales are as high as 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is monthly sales, not annual sales! At that time, this shocking number made many people's eyes fall to the ground!

"Xiao Lisheng, hello, I'm Peng Fei!" He warmly reached out his hand, still a meter or two away from Li Xuan.

Li Xuan fixed his eyes and recognized who it was. The president of Xinhua News Agency, though not very prominent in the newspapers, is also a figure in the limelight. (To be continued..)
