Chapter 393 Advance control of the electronic market
Until the end of the wine party, Lou Xiao'e didn't take what Zhang Yu said to heart.
It can be seen from Lou Xiao'e's facial expression that Zhang Yu is actually quite disappointed inside.
In my mind, a red mark was marked within the Lou family's cooperation scope.
Zhang Yu originally thought that Lou Xiao'e's vision of real things in the port area, a big city connected with the world, should be higher than that of the inland.
However, after this communication, Zhang Yu did not realize that Lou Xiaoe had the vision and courage that a strong woman should have.
Mr. Huang, the only person at this table, noticed Zhang Yu's dissatisfaction with Lou Xiao'e from a third party's perspective.
However, Mr. Huang did not point it out rashly. In fact, Zhang Yu's speeches just now reminded Mr. Huang of the black plastic box of Big Brother that is now popular in the upper class society in Hong Kong.
Mr. Huang has also seen this kind of mobile communication facility in the hands of the Zheng family.
At that time, when Mr. Huang found out that this black box could make remote calls, Mr. Huang was shocked for a moment.
Later, I learned through the Zheng family that this black box originated from the United States.
Mr. Huang originally wanted to trouble the Zheng family and get him this black box.
But the Zheng family did not agree, because this black box is not popular even in the United States.
The United States still uses car phones today.
Therefore, Mr. Huang's idea can only be in vain.
I thought that this matter would just go away, after all, this thing is only circulated in the port area.
In areas like the mainland that are yet to be developed, Mr. Huang doesn't think anyone has such a forward-looking vision.
However, things are always unexpected coincidences. Zhang Yu, who is far in the north, actually knows about this black box.
This surprised Mr. Huang, because Zhang Yu's words were full of affirmation of mobile communication facilities.
However, when Mr. Huang heard Zhang Yu test Lou Xiao'e, he did not speak rashly.
After all, the cake is only so big, so Mr. Huang naturally wants to share more, so that one less person will reduce the pressure of competition.
The next day, Mr. Huang called Zhang Yu's office and asked Zhang Yu to come to the restaurant for tea.
Zhang Yu hung up the phone and vaguely felt that Mr. Huang was concerned about what he said in the box yesterday.
Zhang Yu immediately drove to the restaurant and went straight to the reception room.
Instruct Ran Qiuye to have someone make a pot of tea and deliver it to the reception room.
After the waiter left the reception room, Zhang Yu and Mr. Huang sat in the reception room all afternoon. During the process, Zhang Yu asked the waiter to change three pots of tea.
What the two talked about during this period is only known to them.
A month later, a communications company was quietly established in the suburbs of Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
From the top to the bottom, all migrant workers are locals from the port area.
Zhang Yu, through the Huo family, converted the 20 million in the construction company's account into Hong Kong dollars and invested it in the communications company.
At this time, Mr. Huang was already far away in the United States, and was introduced by a friend of the Zheng family.
Mr. Huang officially had the first friendly exchange with Motorola.
And both parties were very satisfied with this negotiation.
When Motorola heard that Mr. Huang owned his own communications company in the port area.
Motorola CEO Robert sensed business opportunities in the Eastern market.
When he heard that Mr. Huang needed a communication equipment production line, Robert became even more convinced of his idea.
He also personally received Mr. Huang in the reception room, and the two had a friendly discussion.
Both parties have their own purposes. Robert needs an agent far away in the East to help Motorola open the Eastern market.
After all, Robert had heard about some conversations between the port area and the country, as well as the blank market that the country was gradually opening up.
Therefore, Robert needs a reliable Eastern partner to help them open up the Eastern market.
Mr. Huang took a fancy to Motorola's various production lines and Motorola's R&D technology.
As Mr. Huang, who was the first to open up the electronics market in China, his foresight in this regard is quite accurate.
Robert said he had no problem with Mr. Huang's conditions.
However, Robert needs to carefully consider the technical conditions.
But they can do some preliminary cooperation first.
For example, help Motorola clean up its piled warehouse.
Motorola withdrew from the TV market in 1974 and had many TV production lines piled up in its warehouse.
Another example is pagers. Motorola's scientific research direction has shifted to modern mobile phone modules.
The pager is an old thing with a long history for Motorola, and now it's time for it to be monetized.
Coupled with Motorola's cooperation with the automotive industry in the 1980s, the electronic components required by the automotive industry became the first major market for Motorola's microprocessors.
Motorola supplies a large number of electronic engine control modules to companies such as Ford, General Motors and Chrysler to improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions.
So Mr. Huang came at the right time.
Although Motorola did not relent in terms of technology, Mr. Huang was a little disappointed.
But seeing the production equipment piled up in the warehouse, Mr. Huang felt lucky.
The production equipment here is almost comparable to those designed by Zhang Yu.
All are world-class electronic production equipment.
With these equipment, a large part of domestic production resources can be saved.
However, when the price was finally negotiated, both parties were dissatisfied with the price given.
Robert offered a package price of US$100 million, and all the equipment piled up in the warehouse were sold to Guan, and Robert generously covered the transportation costs.
And Motorola engineers will be sent to help Mr. Huang install production equipment for free.
But after careful calculation, Mr. Huang felt that Robert's price was too high.
Moreover, Mr. Huang used the Zheng family's connections to inquire about the transportation costs from the United States to the port area.
The sum of the two cannot reach 20 million US dollars, but for 20 million US dollars, it is absolutely impossible for Robert to sell the equipment to himself.
In the end, Mr. Huang could not make up his mind and summoned Zhang Yu to the country for his opinion.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yu came up with a package price of up to US$28 million.
With the package price given by Zhang Yu, Mr. Huang directly shouted to Robert that the package price was US$10 million.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Robert was so angry that he cursed.
"WTF..."
"Hey, Mr. Huang, this is not the price it should be!"
"This is the crystallization of our company's wisdom. This is disrespectful to our research team. I hope you and your company will give our team the respect it deserves."
Is 60 million U.S. dollars the respect we deserve? If we really agree to this price, that would be an insult to Mr. Huang’s intelligence.
In the end, after a tug-of-war between the two parties, the price was finally determined at US$25 million.
Including freighter transportation and floor installation, everything is included.
All of this went so smoothly because the country was so supportive.
Zhang Yu has never planned to swallow the cake of mobile communications alone.
This is also impossible to accomplish. No one knows how big the domestic market is better than Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, who has memories of his past life and has accumulated market management experience for many years, knows that it is impossible to monopolize this thing.
Only with the support of the state can Zhang Yu have the opportunity and ability to occupy more than half of this cake.
Before reporting this matter, Zhang Yu and Mr. Huang communicated carefully.
Mr. Huang said he had no objections. With the support of the country, Mr. Huang dared to go big.
Zhang Yu specifically went to No. 1 to report this matter. After thinking about it, No. 1 felt that this matter had great potential.
With the permission from above, Zhang Yu directly transferred 25 million US dollars from the machinery factory to the construction company, and the Huo family transferred it to the HSBC account of Wanchai Communications Company.
Transferred to Motorola's account from the communications company.
Even if someone specifically investigates this transfer, it will only be traced to the construction company.
The state took action and after the transfer from the machinery factory was completed, the transfer records were erased from the bank.
