In August and September of 1989, Zheng Yaoyang spent every day busy.
Telecom started building base stations in mid-August and began ordering production lines for mobile phone production in early September.
After all, if we wait until the first phase of the Science and Technology Port is completed before relocating, purchasing production lines, and ordering spare parts, it will definitely be too late.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Zheng Yaoyang spent huge sums of money to purchase ten of the latest production lines in the industry from abroad, as well as ordering 100,000 ordinary version spare parts and 10,000 special version spare parts.
Basically, except for chips, some plastics or metal molds are manufactured by local companies in Xiangjiang.
More than 100 other parts are purchased from European and American companies and then shipped to Xiangjiang for assembly.
After all, Xiangjiang is too small. With the subsequent explosion of the real estate and financial industries, there will only be fewer and fewer locally manufactured industrial products in the future.
time is tight,
Made in all countries, it is also a helpless move.
However, Zheng Yaoyang is considering asking Lin Defu to go to Pengcheng Zhongshan to look for new spare parts suppliers until next year, or when subsequent sales stabilize.
busy,
September is coming to an end.
On the afternoon of September 25, Zheng Yaoyang inspected the progress of the project in Bel-Air, including the ten factories and employee dormitories of the first phase of the Science and Technology Port.
The current construction process is basically over halfway, and it is expected to be completed in early November.
Zheng Yaoyang listened to the introduction by the chief project manager and estimated that if everything went well, the first mass-produced PHS would be available in December.
The construction of telecommunications communication base stations will take six months if the signal is to be completely covered in Hong Kong.
However, according to Lin Defu's stability-seeking character, he should reserve a lot of time for himself. If he presses, he should be able to shorten the construction period by another month or two.
In this way, Telecom's communication base stations and the mass production of mobile phones will achieve a perfect fit in terms of time.
With a smile in his eyes, Zheng Yaoyang made up his mind that the first shot in the 1990s must be made by MiLi Technology.
At this moment, Zheng Yaoyang's assistant Zhang Qifeng hurriedly handed over his mobile phone. The caller was Bao Yugang.
After listening to his grandfather's words, Zheng Yaoyang slapped his forehead and almost forgot that he should prepare to leave for the north at the end of September.
I heard my grandpa say that before heading north, invited Hong Kong businessmen would hold a small party.
Exchange experiences with each other, and at the same time warn new members that if special circumstances occur, they must be consistent with the outside world.
This "outside" is very intriguing, and no one can guarantee whether he will continue to fight against the landlords after his return.
The party is scheduled for tomorrow night, and the location is set to be the Huo Family Manor near Sassoon Road, Hong Kong.
Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang were both the initiators of the first trip north.
But now that my grandfather is ill and retired, the responsibility of hosting the event falls on Mr. Huo.
That night, Zheng Yaoyang went to the Huo family's mansion, which was also called the Stone Manor by the people because it was built with stones.
The manor covers a small area, only five acres and more than 3,000 square meters, and looks like a medieval European castle.
After all, with Mr. Huo's wealth and status, he only has a manor of more than 3,000 square meters, which is not very suitable for his status.
There were not many invited guests that night. There were only twelve entrepreneurs, including Zheng Yaoyang.
Everyone is a well-known business tycoon in Xiangjiang, such as Li Jiacheng, Li Hongji, including Lao He from the proud family next door.
Everyone chatted easily in small groups, and saw Zheng Yaoyang entering the house under the guidance of the housekeeper.
Lao He took a look and joked with a smile: "There are finally new faces joining us this time."
"This new face is too new."
“The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.”
"We front wavers can only die on the beach."
Everyone present was Zheng Yaoyang's grandfather. Faced with everyone's ridicule, he could only smile helplessly.
As the organizer of the event, Mr. Huo stood up to rescue Zheng Yaoyang and scolded with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Li, don't be so arrogant. You should be glad that Yaoyang has no idea of getting involved in real estate."
Mr. Huo, who is in his sixties this year, has well-maintained skin and looks like he is in his fifties.
After hearing what Mr. Huo said, everyone laughed. The Cheung Kong Group was defeated by Chinese Real Estate. Although the interests involved were not many, it was very embarrassing and enough to become a topic of conversation for them after dinner.
Li Jiacheng could only smile. After all, in front of the big guys who had already made their fortunes in the 1950s and 1960s, he could only be regarded as a rising star in Xiangjiang.
Mr. Huo invited Zheng Yaoyang to take a seat, and he couldn't help showing appreciation on his face: "Old Bao has already told me, you will stay with me this time."
When Zheng Yaoyang was selected to go north, it was completely beyond his expectation.
However, judging from the performance in the past two months, it seems that the mainland is too prescient.
Decisively abandon the hot real estate and finance industry, invest US$1.3 billion, and aggressively enter the communications industry.
With this kind of courage and this kind of behavior, even if Zheng Yaoyang is not the richest man, he is still qualified to be invited by the mainland.
Zheng Yaoyang also acted appropriately and said obediently: "Thank you, Grandpa Huo, for your guarantee. I feel relieved."
Mr. Huo smiled, suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Yaoyang, you should also know that the situation this year is quite special, so we will not stay in the capital for too long."
Zheng Yaoyang nodded solemnly. After all, he had heard about it. According to his opinion, it would be best to cancel the collective activities of Hong Kong businessmen heading north this year.
"Maybe you have doubts in your heart, but the mainland has their own considerations, so we can just ignore them."
Mr. Huo continued: "We plan to set off from Xiangjiang on the morning of the 27th, and spend a day each in Yangcheng and Magic City. We should arrive in the capital on the evening of the 30th. If everything goes well, we will leave the capital at noon on the 1st."
"Okay, Grandpa Huo, I will obey your arrangements." Zheng Yaoyang showed a shy smile.
Mr. Huo laughed in astonishment: "Stop pretending, who here doesn't know what kind of virtue you are?"
Zheng Yaoyang kept blinking. As long as his own interests were not involved, he didn't mind pretending to be stupid.
Anyway, there are all grandfathers here, so even if he keeps pretending to be young, no one would dare to have an opinion.
Everyone looked at each other with helpless expressions. Who would have thought that the grandson of Bao Yugang, who has been upright all his life, would be such a 'good thing'. This is not a derogatory meaning, but a compliment. After all, Zheng Yaoyang, who is less than twenty years old, does have the ability to pretend to be stupid.
qualifications.
After all the main precautions were explained, while chatting, Mr. Huo asked: "I heard that you have recently purchased a lot of electronic spare parts from Japanese, Korean, European and American companies?"
Zheng Yaoyang nodded and replied: "They are all parts needed by the communications industry. They cannot be produced locally in Xiangjiang, and the prices in Baodao are too harsh. The prices offered by Japanese, Korean, European and American companies are quite reasonable."
Mr. Huo thought for a while and said: "What kind of spare parts are roughly needed? Can you give me a purchase list?"
Zheng Yaoyang was surprised: "Grandpa Huo, have you also started to enter the physical manufacturing industry?"
Mr. Huo shook his head: "I invested in an industrial zone in Nansha. There are many manufacturing companies in it, but I am struggling with no orders. Let's see if we can cooperate."
Zheng Yaoyang suddenly realized and pondered for a moment: "We are going to Yangcheng in a few days. We will stop by and have a look. If manufacturing can be done in the mainland, companies in Nansha will be given priority for the next batch of orders."
"Thank you, Yaoyang." Mr. Huo said seriously.
Zheng Yaoyang was frightened and said hurriedly: "Grandpa Huo, it's such a small thing, it's really not worth mentioning."
Speaking of Nansha, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Huo devoted the rest of his life to Nansha in Yangcheng.
Contracting nearly 30,000 acres of land, he was bound to build Nansha into a new science and technology zone on his own.
Both Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and his son, and even Liu Fuxiong in the future actually accepted Lao Huo's request to develop Nansha together.
A truly patriotic entrepreneur, it is a pity that his descendants are unfilial. After his death, he has been busy fighting for family property and has temporarily put aside the development of Nansha.
It missed the best period of economic boom and ended up becoming a pure real estate project instead of the high-tech park he originally expected.
