If it was really possible to use US$30 billion to establish a complete semiconductor industry chain in China in the 1990s, it would be something that could make you laugh out of your dreams. Even if there is a certain generation gap, it doesn’t matter. We must first cultivate talents and solve the problem of availability.
This is also not something that requires spending such a huge sum of money in one year. It can be done in ten years. Thank God.
Zhou Qingfeng has a "four-digit" amount of hard currency in his hand, and if he hides it, he won't have children, so spending it desperately is the only way to go. It's just that Mitsui has concerns about this, and further negotiations are needed.
It doesn't matter, it's better to start the ordinary electronic components industry first. Watanabe Yuo was left in HK to be responsible for this matter, communicating with the Japanese consortium as much as possible, and completing the acquisition of other assets at the same time.
As president, Zhou Qingfeng needs to present his intentions as the group's overall plan and explain it to the management at regular monthly meetings.
Just when he returned to Tianyang in early May and was preparing for a meeting, Professor Zheng Ping walked into the president's office with a serious expression and closed the door.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you want to cooperate with Japan's Mitsui?"
"Yes, I have this intention."
“How much foreign exchange will it cost?”
"I don't know, those little Japanese bastards. I offer 30 billion US dollars, but they still want to consider it."
When Zheng Ping heard the figure '30 billion', his old face almost wrinkled. He asked in a deep voice: "Are you really planning to spend 30 billion US dollars?"
"It's not something that can be spent in a year, let alone just one production line. If I were to build a complete industrial chain, 30 billion might not be enough."
It was so easy for Zhou Qingfeng to get money, so he never thought about how scary "30 billion" was.
Professor Zheng looked at his face carefully and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Originally, I shouldn't be asking this question. But Xiao Jinlang and Ma Qianshan are abroad and will never come back. So I had to step in."
Mr. Zhou, where did your $30 billion come from...?"
"Would you like to know?"
"Of course not. I represent..., well, just think it's me who wants to know."
"Actually, no matter who you represent, I have nothing to say." Zhou Qingfeng spread his hands, "With the domestic officialdom being like a sieve, no secrets can be kept.
No matter who asks, just say that the group earned it from overseas trade. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will solve the problem for the person who raised the issue."
There are many compradors in the country, and HSBC collapsed, and many people secretly hate it to death. Although there is no evidence, there are various speculations in private.
There was no chance of anyone trying to eat the food, so Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to hire someone to ride a crane to the west.
Zheng Ping remained silent with a cold face, and after a while he reported a list of names to Zhou Qingfeng. Uncle Zhou was slightly surprised after hearing this, and after a while he whispered: "It seems that there will be a big funeral this year."
Saying your name means joining the team. Professor Zheng's shoulders relaxed, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. He turned to say: "Mr. Zhou, do you know how much foreign exchange it cost to introduce Baosteel to China more than ten years ago?"
Seeing Zheng Ping holding up three fingers, Zhou Qingfeng said happily: "It's also 30 billion US dollars?"
Professor Zheng curled his lips and said, "How many can it possibly be? Three billion. This is enough to make the little Japanese Nippon Steel happy to death. Not to mention how happy it is to make money. Your move is 30 billion, which is too wasteful."
"
Zhou Qingfeng just hummed and did not refute. He knew that the older generation was used to being poor and thrifty, always thinking of doing more with less.
But science and technology cannot be like this. How much money is spent will produce the same results. If the money is not in place, the talents and technology will naturally not be in place.
Zheng Ping continued: "The construction of the first phase of the Tianyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has begun. Land acquisition, demolition, and land leveling have gone smoothly.
However, I heard that Mr. Zhou can spend 30 billion US dollars to develop the semiconductor industry, and the Imperial Capital has a new idea.
Building an aircraft manufacturing plant from scratch is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Tianyang has no heavy industry foundation at all, so it is really not suitable. We have discussed it with the Imperial City Ministries and reported it to the leaders for instructions, and we want to launch a breakthrough pilot project."
Professor Zheng paused after saying this, "The existing first-phase factory building can be used for other purposes. Doesn't Mr. Zhou want to make electronic components? It won't be wasted.
As for the aircraft manufacturer, is Mr. Zhou willing to establish a new company in the form of a joint-stock joint venture with another aircraft manufacturer? This is much better than starting from scratch."
Professor Zheng also extended five fingers and said, "As long as US$500 million, I can give you 51% of the controlling interest."
Zhou Qingfeng looked surprised and asked with his hands on the table: "Which aircraft manufacturer wants to cooperate with me to build aircraft?"
Could it be Shen Hoy?
don't want.
The old factory's old habits are hard to change and are rotten to the core. Let Zhou Qingfeng cooperate and he won't be finished until he kills thousands of people.
Or become Loma?
This is good, Zhou Qingfeng is happy with it. He is very happy with it. Let alone 500 million or 5 billion, he is willing to throw it in. Now is the most difficult period for the J-10 project, so spending more money will be beneficial.
But Professor Zheng hesitated for a while and said: "Mr. Zhou, do you understand 'Shi Fei'?"
Shi Fei?
What the hell?
Zhou Qingfeng's mind was spinning, and he asked in shock: "Is this the company that produces the Y-5 pesticide machine?"
Don't be kidding, there are no two big manufacturers to come up with it, so it's okay to build Xifei. Shifei is a light aircraft manufacturer, and its products are just like toys.
"Can Shi Fei be worth 500 million US dollars?" Zhou Qingfeng said angrily, "Unless I use it as filler, I won't buy such a small and broken factory."
Professor Zheng nodded, "I don't think Shi Fei is worth the price. The superiors just asked me to ask.
The ministry is leaning toward Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation, which, after all, also produces transport aircraft, and it fits perfectly with our current "Shengguang Airlines" large passenger aircraft maintenance project.
However, Hongdu Factory has been very active in this regard recently and has offered to cooperate with the Holy Light. However, they are engaged in attack aircraft and training aircraft, and they are not a good match for us."
The Hongdu Factory is in Nanchang, not far from Tianyang. Qiangwu and K-8 are the products of the Hongdu Factory. When the military industry was in recession, Hongdu motorcycles were famous for a while.
Compared with the older factories that are accustomed to "waiting and hoping", the Hongdu Factory is considered to be more competitive among the military factories. K-8 is the result of the cooperation between the Hongdu Factory and Pakistan.
There are not enough orders from the military industry, so the Hongdu factory continues to produce civilian products. Although there is no special big brand, it is at least aggressive. This is very rare.
"The Hongdu Factory built a K-8 training aircraft two years ago, which is very popular abroad. They want to continue to develop, but they have no projects and no funding from the authorities, so they have to find food on their own.
The leaders of their factory took the initiative and stated that as long as Holy Light is willing to provide 500 million US dollars, they will definitely use the best resources to cooperate and strive to build a world-class large aircraft manufacturing factory.
However, they are definitely not as good as Shaanxi Aircraft in terms of transport aircraft, and it would be better if it is a fighter project."
It would be better if Professor Zheng didn't say this. After saying this, Zhou Qingfeng quickly patted the table and asked, "I happen to have a fighter jet project that we can cooperate with."
What?
The old professor stared at Zhou Qingfeng, suspicious for a long time, "Mr. Zhou, where did you get the fighter jet?"
"Actually, there are."
"Where?"
"It's in the Imperial Capital. It was broken into pieces and shipped here from Ermao. I originally thought about selling it to foreign customers, but if there is demand in the country, we can actually learn from it."
The old professor became even more suspicious, "Mr. Zhou, did you get fighter jets from abroad?"
"How strange. I have brought back nearly a hundred passenger planes, transport planes, and training planes. It is normal to bring back a fighter jet."
"What fighter is it? Su-27 or MiG-29?"
"No, it's an F-14A Tomcat from the American Grumman Company."
ah......?!
