Chapter 616: The adopted wolf cub (second update, please subscribe)
On the road in the early morning, the sound of bicycle bells and bus horns intertwined, and tens of thousands of workers rode bicycles , fast or slow, shuttling on the narrow non-motorized lane. At the same time, buses were also driving on the road. As soon as the bus stopped and the door opened, the workers poured out of the bus and walked quickly towards the factory. People walked and talked, their voices and laughter mixed with the ringing of bicycle bells.
While workers were pouring into the factory, Yang Yuankai, standing beside the car in the parking lot in front of the building near the factory, lit a cigarette again and looked straight at the building in the distance.
TCL Building.
TCL not only manufactured the world's first transistor TV, but also invented the integrated circuit.
This time Yang Yuankai came here because he wanted to negotiate with them about the introduction of transistor TV technology.
Taking a long puff of cigarette, Yang Yuankai looked up at the building and said to himself.
"Okay, let's see this time!"
After that, he walked into the building.
……
Ten minutes later, on the 7th floor of the building, Yang Yuankai met with Xia Yuanyi, the deputy general manager of TCL. He was 30 years old, handsome and tall, and because he had served in the military - this is a characteristic of the company. Many senior executives came from the Allied task force. They have a masculine spirit that ordinary employees do not have, and they work vigorously and resolutely.
Xia Yuanyi's first impression of this visiting guest was very good - he arrived 20 minutes earlier than himself.
This is also the first customer he received today.
Xia Yuanyi was one of the first batch of task force members. He retired from the army only three years ago and joined TCL. In just three years, he went from the middle level of the company to the deputy manager of the company. His abilities are astonishing. Know.
Facing Manager Xia, Yang Yuankai’s tone was full of incomprehension about his colleagues in Shanghai and Shanghai speculating on gold:
"Most Shanghai-based businessmen lack enough confidence in investing in industry. They are used to speculation in gold, bonds, foreign exchange, coal, and cotton yarn, because speculation is more profitable. Even if they don't speculate, they are just doing business. Compradors, this is their biggest problem, but I am different from them. I believe that industry is the industry with the most investment value, especially in Nanyang. Nanyang is "founded by trade", and investment in industry is destined to get very rich profits. "Return."
The reason why he answered this way was because Xia Yuanyi was surprised when the two first met - why a Shanghainese would choose to invest in industry was a bit "unreasonable".
Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly and said.
"What Boss Yang said is true. To build a country through trade, we must develop industry. However, there is no problem with financial speculation. Financial speculation is both speculation and investment. It is just a measure of time. It’s a problem that cannot be overemphasized!”
It is well known that Shanghai merchants like to speculate, but the cause of this situation is directly related to the repeated heavy losses in Tangshan’s industry. The first time was World War I. During this period, the industrial world achieved great development, but after the war, it was impacted by various countries and many industrial tycoons went bankrupt. Then there was the so-called "golden decade", when the factory industry suffered unimaginable losses during the war. Compared with investing in industry, which consumes money and energy and requires bearing various external risks, speculative finance not only has high returns but also has low risks, which makes it more popular among people.
"However, I'm curious, Boss Yang, why do you think our company is willing to transfer transistor technology to you."
Looking at the other party, Xia Yuanyi said.
“If the product is popular with the outside world, then we can expand the factory and increase production at any time. There is no need to support a competitor.” Although TCL had successfully developed a transistor TV a few months ago, However, there are still some problems in actual production-for example, there is a large backlog of electron tubes in the factory, such as the backlog of old products from dealers, so until now, transistor TVs have not been put on the market.
Now someone is coming to us asking to buy transistor TV technology. This is tantamount to buying their core technology, which is a bit weird.
"This is the truth, but Manager Xia, you often say that Nanyang is a company with 30 million people, and we want to go overseas to compete with foreign companies. In this case, I believe that my company and TCL are definitely not A competitor, but a partner. TCL does have the most advanced technology, but in overseas markets, it will definitely have to face competition from the United States, the United Kingdom and other European and American countries. Just like United Communications' TR-1 radio, now European and American countries have also launched The lack of similar radios has put a certain amount of pressure on United Communications' market. As we all know, patents on industrial products such as radios can be easily circumvented. After TCL's TV sets are put on the market, we can also imitate, improve, and circumvent the patents. In the end, the situation you face is just like United Communications. Not only are you besieged by hundreds of European and American manufacturers, you also have to face competition from domestic companies. Although this competition is not vicious, it is still competition. But if Are competitors partners? I mean real partners, let’s explore overseas markets together.”
Yang Yuankai took a deep breath and said.
“Furthermore, you have said that companies not only have the responsibility to research new technologies, but also have the obligation to diffuse new technologies. It is the company’s responsibility to export management and technical talents to society, and it is also the company’s responsibility to export new technologies. Obligation! "
This is why Yang Yuankai dared to come over and buy the latest technology - because the company has been transferring new technology to the outside world.
Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly when Yang Yuankai said that, looked at Yang Yuankai, and said in agreement:
"I also agree with this. There are said to be 100,000 companies in Nanyang, but these 100,000 companies should not be in a competitive relationship. They should be a whole overseas. This is the position we must hold when going overseas to make money. Of course Well, business must be profit-oriented. The company’s technology output does not have to be through the company’s former employees. Other methods can also be adopted.”
In fact, export. People and technology are part of the company's "Wolf Raising Strategy". In the past few years, the company has been committed to promoting this plan. It helps promote scientific management and new technologies in Nanyang by increasing the internal market. Competition prevents enterprises from monopolizing domestically and maintains and improves the level of enterprises through competition.
By competing with, or even confronting, domestic peers, the company can discover and improve its own shortcomings, thereby maintaining its leading position. Finally, this plan also promoted the great development of Nanyang enterprises and enhanced Nanyang's economic and industrial strength.
However, due to the large scale of investment in producing televisions, TCL has not raised its own wolves until now. Now that someone has come to the door, Xia Yuanyi saw an opportunity.
Actually, a wolf does not have to be your own. Adopted ones can also become biological sons. Just like what you said, one day a son can defeat me, that's what he is capable of.
In fact, in that case, it means that raising wolves is successful. It is better to be overthrown by one's own people than to be overthrown by foreigners in the future.
"Do you have sufficient funds?"
Hearing this, Yang Yuankai took a long breath. He knew that the business was basically concluded.
"Absolutely. I have already negotiated an investment of 7 million yuan. As long as I get your authorization, I can negotiate a loan with the bank and start the company. There will definitely be no problems."
Xia Yuanyi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said.
"I will try my best to promote technology transfer,"
In Xia Yuanyi's view, the company does not need to put on airs outside the company, but should be open to everyone to help those companies grow bigger. They have done The bigger the country is, the bigger Nanyang's industry will be.
This is a healthy development. Although Xia Yuanyi is a senior executive of the company, he has never limited his sights to TCL. What he thinks about is the entire Nanyang!
