Chapter 249 Honor Electronics
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away.” Wei Zetao agreed.
"Yeah." Yang Wendong nodded.
Wanwan is recruiting professional plastic material R&D personnel. He does not need to participate, but in the future the electronics industry will be its core industry, and its importance is even more important than the existing products. Of course he needs himself Came for the interview in person.
……
December 31st, the last day before New Year’s Day.
Kwun Tong, Changxing Industrial Park, a man about 40 years old, led by Wei Zetao, came to the south office building inside the factory.
Wei Zetao said: "Sheng Wang, above is Yang Sheng's office."
The man surnamed Wang smiled and said: "Okay, thank you Wei Sheng, I have long admired the post-it king. "You're welcome, we will all be colleagues from now on." Wei Zetao smiled and said, "Yang Sheng still attaches great importance to the electronics industry. Wang Sheng, you can have a good discussion later." ”
"Okay." The man surnamed Wang said politely.
Then the two came to the chairman's office on the top floor.
"Sheng Yang." Wei Zetao stepped forward and introduced: "This is Wang Zhiqun and Mr. Wang from the American Broadcasting Electronics Corporation;
Sheng Wang, this is my boss, Yang "Hello Yang Sheng, I have admired your name for a long time," Wang Zhiqun said politely.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Yang Wendong also said, "Please sit down."
Of course, Yang Wendong already knew the information about the person who came for the interview.
Wang Zhiqun has an excellent resume. He graduated from Harvard University and later worked in HP, IBM, and American Broadcasting Electronics, reaching the mid-to-senior level.
Maybe it's also because of race, it's basically the limit
"Thank you." Wang Zhiqun said politely.
Afterwards, the assistant brought over a few cups of hot tea. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Hong Kong is not very cold in winter, but drinking some hot tea will make people feel more comfortable."
Wang Zhiqun was also present and said along the way. : "Yes, I have been in the United States for more than 20 years, and there is basically no habit of drinking hot water there. Even the water in winter has to be added with some ice.
It's better at home, I can boil it myself Water, but when socializing outside, it often makes me unbearable."
"White people and black people are still different from us yellow people," Yang Wendong said: "But do as the locals do. In an environment like the United States, we can only adapt."
"Yes," Wang Zhiqun nodded.
Yang Wendong asked again: "Have Mr. Wang considered returning to Hong Kong? Or even near Asia?"
Wang Zhiqun said: "I thought about it before, seven or eight years ago, but at that time, there were almost no people in Hong Kong. In the electronics industry, if I come back, I won’t be able to find a suitable job unless I start a business.
And my ability largely comes from the opportunities given by my previous company, not from it. It’s really just my own.”
“Wang Sheng is very accurate,” Yang Wendong smiled and said, “You can clearly see the business nature of a place and your true situation.”
< br>In my previous life, I often saw some people’s jokes on the Internet. When I was working in a big company, I was doing well, and I thought it was my ability. Then I left my job and started my own business, and I was bruised and bruised. Only then did I realize that everything I had done before was nothing more than my ability. It's just the platform number given by the big company before.
Wang Zhiqun nodded and said: "People need to be self-aware. I know a little bit about electronic technology and electronic products, but starting a company is completely another matter."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded. Head: "Hong Kong was indeed not very good in the 1950s, but in the past two years, Hong Kong's electronics industry has begun to develop. Wang Sheng can reconsider this matter."
Wang Zhiqun said: "Yes, In the past two years, Hong Kong's radios have indeed done very well, making Japanese companies feel threatened;
It's just that this product is still a bit too simple, and the radios in Hong Kong are still too advanced. The low-end route is still not feasible at present.”
“There is a special situation in Hong Kong, that is, the Hong Kong government does not care about the development of enterprises within its jurisdiction. They pursue the free market, which is lazy. " Yang Wendong smiled and said: "So Hong Kong's electronics industry is just a mess now, while Japan and Wanwan are much stronger.
However, I will do what the Hong Kong government cannot do. I am very optimistic about the future of the electronics industry and want to be a large electronics company in Hong Kong. This requires talents like Wang Sheng to join. "
"Listen to Wei Sheng, Yang Sheng wants to make a transistor? "Wang Zhiqun asked. Before coming here, he naturally knew some basic information.
Yang Wendong replied: "Yes, transistors are the core components needed for many electronic products. The electronics industry in Hong Kong wants to develop. , you need to have the ability to market yourself. But this is just my first step. After I can produce transistors myself, I can try to produce other civilian electronic products. ”
As a time traveler, the advantage of making civilian products is naturally the greatest, because we know which home appliances will become necessities of life in the future, and there are even some home appliances that have not appeared yet.
< br>
However, before that, we still need to solve the supply problem of core components. Just like the glue for sticky notes before, if you can produce it yourself, you must produce it yourself. If it is not possible, you can also purchase it from multiple parties to ensure that there are no supply problems.
Transistors can be produced in Hong Kong because in the original history, Fairchild Semiconductor Company, the originator of the electronics industry, invested in a transistor production line in Hong Kong in the 1960s; although its own technology was far inferior to People, but at least it shows that it is feasible.
When the transistor supply problem is solved, you will have no worries about entering into some simple-structured consumer electronic products. Otherwise, you may be like the current radio company, which seems to be selling very well, but little Japan has I got stuck in my neck and rolled my eyes.
Hello Wang Zhiqun Qi asked: "Yang Sheng, I have heard of you in the United States. It is said that these sticky notes and trolley boxes are your inventions. You can be said to be an inventor comparable to Edison;
I don’t know. Can I ask first, is the electronic product you want to invest in a new product? ”
"Forget it about Edison." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "There may be some new products, but they are mainly home appliances. And even if I want to innovate, I have to have technology."
In the previous life Yang Wendong was influenced by "Readers" and "Yilin" when he was a child, thinking that Edison was a great inventor; but when he grew up, he realized that he was actually a great capitalist.
Of course, big capitalists don’t matter, and so does Yang Wendong, but what he did to Tesla, the real inventor, is really...
Wang Zhiqun nodded and said: "Indeed, the home appliance industry, If you want to innovate, you still have to look at the technical aspect.”
Yang Wendong added: “So we must first have a technical team before we can think about future matters. Mr. Wang, what do you think?
You must also know about my situation in Hong Kong. If you are willing to come to Hong Kong to help me, the salary in the first year will be 50% higher than in the United States. Basic accommodation, your family and children can all be arranged. Come to Hong Kong. ”
High-end talents are worth the same as those in developed countries wherever they go, because they can move around at will. Even if African companies recruit people, the salary level must be the same as in developed countries, or even higher. High.
“I am very satisfied with the salary. Wang Zhiqun continued: "If Yang Sheng wants to make transistors, does he only use them for himself, or does he want to supply them to Hong Kong, and even to other places around the world in the future?" ”
“Of course it’s the latter. Yang Wendong said: "If I can make transistors, there is no reason to only supply them to myself, right?" Unless there is insufficient production capacity, that is only in the short term. "
Wang Zhiqun thought for a moment and said: "If this is the case, then we need to buy a production line with a larger capacity. In Asia, it is estimated that only Japan has this kind of equipment, but they probably won't sell it.
I think we can go to the United States to buy them. In recent years, Japanese transistors have begun to seize the American market, and their American counterparts have suffered heavy losses. They may not have any control in this regard. "
"Yes, you can also buy second-hand ones. It is estimated that many large companies in the United States will have redundant production lines. Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Can related technology patents also be purchased?" ”
In this era and in the next 20 years, little Japan will make American daddy vomit blood, but in order to fight polar bears and maintain the principle of free trade, the U.S. government can only hold its nose and admit it.
This gives many other countries the opportunity to purchase various technologies and production lines.
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Yes, as long as we are willing to spend money, that is to allow Americans to come to work in Hong Kong. Not a problem. ”
"Okay, then I'll ask Mr. Wang to help me investigate this matter after he returns to the United States." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In the early stages of industrial development, it is necessary to rely on overseas equipment. Even Japan in the early days was the same, not to mention Hong Kong, which could only rely on imports.
This can be regarded as the trouble of doing industry in small areas, which cannot form a large-scale industrial chain.
Wang Zhiqun said: "Yang Sheng is too polite, you better not call me Wang Sheng. Just like Wei Sheng and others, just call me Lao Wang."
"Okay, Lao Wang. "Yang Wendong was not polite and said again: "Welcome to join our Changxing Group"
"Isn't it Changxing Industrial?" Wang Zhiqun asked cautiously.
Before coming to Hong Kong, he learned about the current structure of Yang Wendong's industries. Changxing Group is the head office of the entire company. Although Changxing Industrial is large in scale, its hierarchy is branches.
Yang Wendong said: "No, the future electronics company will not belong to Changxing Industrial, but will be independent. It will be an independent company specializing in the research and development, production and sales of electronic products."
Although electronic products are also industrial, they have little to do with the existing Changxing Industrial industry, and the development direction is completely different.
The direction of Changxing Industrial is still close to 3M, focusing on various creative products.
Wang Zhiqun nodded and asked: "Is the name of the company called Changxing Electronics?"
"No." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Our future products will be branded. The name should be nicer.
I’m going to call the company name Honor Electronics. Honor is the brand, which is “honor” in English. This is very easy to remember and easier to pronounce.”
One. The name of the brand is very important to the effect of publicity, especially for consumer terminal products. How many brands spend a lot of money every year in order to make people remember the brand name.
Take Sony as an example. In the early days, its name was Tsushin. Even Americans couldn’t pronounce it in English, so how could they build a brand?
Finally, after changing its name to Sony, it began its take-off.
