Chapter 75 The Golden Age(1/2)
Xiao Qiang finished the company's restructuring and did not leave Hong Kong immediately.
This time, he was what Tathagata said when he was in Hong Kong, and he was wandering around shopping malls, looking at various electrical appliances, computers and some inconspicuous electronic products very carefully.
He has vague memories of his past life. Although it is difficult for him to imagine it out of thin air and create products that transcend this era, there is no problem in being able to generate some inspiration and make corresponding improvements based on existing mature products while wandering around.
Whenever he had a sudden idea, he would immediately tell Lin Yi that she would quickly record it by saying a few words and sort it out after she went back to enlighten Xiao Qiang's ideas.
Sometimes, he would buy some electronic products as future samples.
Of course, all of these things were thrown to Su Zheng and others without exception. So, their arms were quickly filled with various electrical appliances, from small shavers to large TVs, forcing Su Zheng to rent a small truck and slowly follow them to ship more and more goods.
At this time, they admitted that Xiao Qiang was a science and technology worker. When he looked at electronic products, his focused and contemplative look, and his sudden inspiration immediately recorded, he could no longer see the greed that he used to make endless profits.
In the middle, Xiao Qiang also bought some things for his family, such as clothing, cosmetics, candies, etc., and planned to go home and give them to his parents, as well as Lin Yi's parents. After all, when he went to Hong Kong, he still had to bring some gifts back.
Due to Lin Yi's firm rejection, Xiao Qiang only bought her a platinum diamond-inlaid necklace produced by Chow Tai Fook, which was the first commemorative ornament since the two met.
Two days and two nights, when Xiao Qiang returned with a full load and came to Luohu Port again, their group changed from bare hands when they entered Hong Kong to a convoy of three large trucks, a huge convoy.
The Hong Kong and British police who guarded the port were all stunned.
Since the Luohu Port switch, there have been many refugees and tourists coming from the mainland, most of whom remain in Hong Kong, and those who returned to the mainland also carry large and small bags. However, like Xiao Qiang and others, there are only one who drive three trucks and are full of electronic products.
Moreover, after their sweat-ridden inspection, there was only one piece of goods on the car, at most two pieces. It would be unreasonable to say that they bought it back and opened an electrical appliance store.
Could this be the result of a large-scale purchase in Hong Kong?
When the trucks in Hong Kong arrive at the port, they will go home. They cannot directly drive into Shenzhen.
There have been several large trucks in the mainland, and dozens of migrant workers held shoulder poles and ropes in their hands. They have been waiting for a long time. With a command, all the refusals at the gate were moved away. The migrant workers rushed over, carrying their hands on their shoulders and transporting the appliances back to the mainland gate.
At the inner gate, those who were still waiting to pass the test were silent.
Let alone mobilizing so many people to transfer the transportation, the border armed police assisted in maintaining order. What a big deal. Just so many electronic products, how much money will it cost!
In their opinion, if the person who buys this batch of goods has so much money, it is better to go overseas and come back to do what?
Among the group, everyone's attitude towards Xiao Qiang's leader also made the other party recognize him as a *. Many people pointed and whispered to him.
Xiao Qiang ignored the comments of these people at all, staring at two black Mercedes-Benz cars outside the mainland gate.
One of them has an army license plate, and the other with a small number license plate is obviously owned by the Guangdong Provincial Government.
He walked to the first car, the door opened, and a man whispered, "Come in."
Xiao Qiang looked back and Lin Yi was looking at him in panic. Su Zheng took the initiative to step forward and said in his ear: "Someone in the car wants to see you, Lin Yi first makes the car behind us."
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Xiao Qiang whispered in Lin Yi's ear, turned around and got into the passenger seat of the car.
German cars are famous for their sturdy and spacious space. In the car, he saw two soldiers, two middle-aged men in casual clothes, staring at him with a burning look, which scared him.
Because on one of the soldiers' epaulettes, there was a kind Venus star, and this was a major general!
"Xiao Qiang, you are so brave! You dare to sign a share transfer agreement with foreigners directly!" A middle-aged man in a suit and glasses snorted and furious.
The other people also looked at him, without saying anything, only the driver, always facing the front and listening to their conversations.
Xiao Qiang was a little dissatisfied with his tone, but he still explained: "I think the leaders of the reason why I want to transform the nature of the company into a Sino-foreign joint venture are clear about the difficulties. If there are not too many restrictions, why should I spend more time and even sell part of the profits to foreigners? No matter what, I am also a Chinese!"
"But why don't you report to the organization and make a decision without authorization!" The middle-aged man wearing glasses was aggressive and then realized that he had a slight mistake and immediately stopped talking.
The other three smiled, and Xiao Qiang also grinned: "This leader, my company is a private enterprise, my own, so there should be no need to ask for instructions and report. Besides, my company, from workers to chairman, is me. If you want to ask for instructions and report, you should ask for instructions and ask for instructions and ask for instructions myself..."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses was a little angry: "Just with your shell company, can you build a projector? How much effort the country has put in to help you, how can you turn around and sell the company to foreigners?"
"Okay, okay, don't make things difficult for Xiao Xiao." The major general saw the anger between the two gradually rising and came out to persuade him, "Let me introduce it. Everyone is very familiar with this Xiao Xiao, a young genius. In the past year, many people have known him. Now, everyone has seen the real person. This is the real person who doesn't show his appearance! Haha!"
Everyone else laughed and introduced themselves one by one.
The major general was Director Zhou Yaohua of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. He did not explain in detail what specific work he was in charge of; the middle-aged man wearing glasses was the secretary of the Economic and Trade Commission, with his surname Xiao; another young man in suit under 30 years old was from the Development and Reform Commission, named Yang Hui.
There was another soldier who was accompanied by a lieutenant colonel from the Southern Military Region. He did not report to Xiao Qiang himself, but just nodded at him, with a more kind expression.
After we got to know each other briefly, the loading and unloading of the trucks there was also completed, and a convoy slowly started and drove towards Guangzhou.
Along the way, no one talked about work. Xiao Qiang talked about some experiences in Hong Kong. Everyone talked about it, but no in-depth issues were involved.
Major General Zhou Yaohua and Yang Hui were both polite, just Secretary Xiao, who was disliked Xiao Qiang and remained silent and had a serious expression.
It is no wonder that what Xiao Qiang did most directly harm was the authority of their Economic and Trade Commission. If other companies do this and bypass state control, what else should they do?
Back in Guangzhou, the convoy drove directly to the Southern Military Region instead of the Economic and Trade Commission, which made Xiao Qiang feel a little relieved.
Anyway, he was considered to be from the army. Cooperation with the Institute of Precision Electronics is equivalent to cooperation with the military. The relationship between the two sides is quite harmonious at present.
When I arrived at the Southern Military Region, I almost arrived at my parents' home.
The conversation was officially started after everyone sat down. Xiao Qiang explained his ideas to them in its original form and repeatedly explained the timeliness and forward-looking nature of technology, as well as the importance of market feedback. Therefore, he must always grasp the needs of customers and constantly change and update in order to occupy the market. This is the main reason why he allowed foreign capital to invest.
After Xiao Qiang almost said that he was speechless, Secretary Xiao stopped asking questions in a heavy mood, knowing that it was impossible to continue to hold him accountable.
Everyone could see the agreement he signed when he invested foreign capital this time. This was just a gesture, indicating that he hoped that outsiders would not interfere and be independent.
Judging from this agreement, the so-called MSI Hi-Tech Group has basically no influence on him, and Xiao Qiang still has the final say in the entire Universal Electronics.
But everyone sounded a wake-up call. What if Xiao was forced into a hurry and he ran abroad next time?
After a year of contact, they have become more and more aware of Xiao Qiang.
This person is patriotic, and there is no doubt that this person would not have jumped out on his own initiative and helped the Precision Electronics Research Institute to obtain ultra-high precision chips, which has greatly helped my country's radar research.
At the same time, he was also a creator of miracles. The birth of the LCD projector was the first to propose ideas and have specific implementation ideas. Such a very spiritual young man may become a fruitful scientist in the future. Keeping such a person's heart is better than keeping him.
Only when he is willing to use his intelligence and talents can he make great contributions to the country's scientific and technological development!
Therefore, during this contact, everyone received instructions: do not ask where his products come from, do not interfere with his specific research direction, do not restrict his personal freedom, and provide him with the best conditions possible without being able to do so.
Finally, he added: As long as he does not sell off the country, all departments must give him a green light unconditionally!
That's right, Secretary Xiao was dissatisfied with a million dissatisfactions, and had to pinch his nose and half-swer and half-support his explanation while Xiao Qiang was aggrieved and begging for full apology.
But this was not what he said, but Major General Zhou of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission first proposed: "Xiao Xiao, you scared us all this time. Everyone thought that you were corrupted by foreign money beauties and refused to come back!"
Xiao Qiang smiled shyly: "Uncle Zhou, I was born in the New China and grew up under the Red Flag. My father is also a member of the army, how could he stay abroad? My roots are on this land!"
"Good words!" Major General Zhou nodded repeatedly and sighed, "I am worthy of being a child of our army. I understand the truth. Your affairs are not big or small. There is an idea on it, and you also know that LCD screens have great military value. For example, if the instruments and meters of field hospitals use LCD screens, they can save more space and weight and load more medicines and supplies. There are also aircraft and tanks. Every inch of space and weight requires our scientific and technological workers to make their efforts. I hope you can provide the troops with some high-quality LCD panels."
As he said that, he took a small box handed over by the lieutenant colonel and opened it carefully. Inside it, there was a crystal liquid crystal panel.
"This was made by our experts and it took a lot of effort. It uses the latest TFT technology, which accurately controls each liquid crystal point, and greatly improves the response speed and distortion angle. It has reached a response speed of 50 milliseconds, with a viewing angle of 120 degrees, and a resolution of up to 800 times 600. Unfortunately, the technology manufacturing is too difficult. We use laboratory manufacturing, and there is only one of the five hundred yuan. Successful production is too expensive."
Xiao Qiang held his breath, gently pinched the edge of the box with his fingertips, and took it.
This is a large ten-inch LCD panel, which reflects circles of colorful halos under the lights of the conference room, which is very beautiful.
If Major General Zhou’s data is true, then this LCD chip is higher than the mass-produced LCD panels obtained from Japan by the Institute of Precision Electronics. This is very important for product upgrades.
The other party's words have already set aside conditions. As long as he can provide a large amount of such LCD panels to supply military supplies, he will let go of his bold and arrogant behavior.
In fact, this is also a timely help for Xiao Qiang!
He looked for a while, covered the box and asked, "How many do you want?"
"100,000!" Major General Zhou looked at him, as if he was embarrassed at the lion. He paused for a moment and said, "Of course, we will pay, as long as it is not too expensive."
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "If you have money, just do you have to buy it." Isn't it more convenient for them to produce it yourself?"
He did not say anything about such kind words. He considered his ability to use it. It would take several months for 100,000 LCD panels to be provided. The projector also needs it. If the projector sales are good, he may be too busy.
"When should I?" he asked.
Major General Zhou was overjoyed. As long as Xiao Qiang did not refuse, he also knew that it was so difficult to produce a laboratory, and it was indeed a bit difficult to get Xiao Qiang to provide 100,000 yuan.
He immediately said: "You can control the time yourself. Just provide 10,000 pieces in advance for equipment modification, and the rest can be fully in place within two or three years."
Xiao Qiang put the box away and put it next to him: "Then it's okay. Within three to four months, I want to provide you with 10,000 pieces."
"That's great!" Zhou Yaohua, who had completed the task, rubbed his hands and asked embarrassedly, "This price..."
"You can give it to each piece of 500 yuan. I know, the army has no money either." Xiao Qiang said indifferently. It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't pay, but normal business behavior must be guaranteed. The other party cannot develop the habit of eating for free. Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to cooperate in the future.
Five hundred yuan per piece is not cheap anymore. In total, it is still 50 million. For the military that is tightening its belt, it is not easy to spend so much money at once.
Fortunately, this is an installment payment, and the first period is only five million, so I think they can still bear it.
Major General Zhou was flushed and was extremely satisfied with his attitude. He was worthy of being a child of the army. He understood that everyone was in difficult times and there was such a kind price, where would he go to find it!
Liquid crystal technology, to put it bluntly, is a large-scale integrated circuit technology with glass as the carrier. The larger the substrate, the more difficult it is to make geometric numbers. At this time, everyone is just a few inches of small substrates, and the manufacturing process is the same. With endless waste, the price of an LCD panel is unattainable.
The early TN technology LCD was slightly less difficult to manufacture, but what they required was the latest technology TFT, whose price reached the highest level internationally!
Such a ten-inch high-definition color LCD panel can be at least thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and it cannot be manufactured on a large scale!
This is priced in US dollars!
According to the current exchange rate, one dollar is exchanged for 3.7 RMB, which is tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention the black market price. One dollar reaches 5 RMB, which is a huge difference!
Xiao Qiang only costs five hundred yuan, that's not the same as giving it for free!
The extremely excited Major General Zhou mediated back and forth, and of course the other people had no objection. Secretary Xiao complained and warned Xiao Qiang not to act on his own in the future. Of course, Xiao Qiang basically broke away from their "guidance" in the future, and complained.
When leaving the Southern Military Region, Yang Hui held Xiao Qiang's hand and said, "Although your approach is reckless, it is also a reminder for our work! The No. 1 leader said, "Don't worry about it! Why do you do it if you die so much? Believe in everyone!" Later, we have reflected on some mistakes in work. This time, those foreign trade companies have all entrusted you with their blessings. As long as the approval is approved, they will all obtain foreign trade rights without any layer of approval. In the future, the Foreign Trade Bureau will interfere with the enterprises less and less!"
Only then did Xiao Qiang understand why Secretary Xiao still had a bad face after so many people persuading him. It turned out that their authority was alarmed by Xiao Qiang after he challenged him, but in the end, he also relaxed the foreign trade management rights to domestic companies. How could they be happy?
