In the mid-1990s, domestic industrial upgrading was initially completed. Electronic companies in the home appliance category sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and competition in the domestic market became fierce.
Throughout the 1990s, foreign exports were basically very small. At that time, many people referred to foreign trade as imports, including steel, oil, etc. External exports were the output of raw materials led by state-owned enterprises, such as rare earths.
, wood, coal, ore, or low-end manufacturing, clothes, bags, etc.
The international environment has begun to relax for my country, and it has entered a honeymoon period with the United States. It exports low-end manufacturing and raw materials in exchange for valuable foreign exchange, and uses foreign exchange to introduce high-end machine tools from the world for remanufacturing.
The time when home appliances dominated the world was after joining the WTO, which opened up global trade exports. Developed countries eliminated low-end manufacturing and began to develop in the financial sector. The country attracted large-scale foreign investment, ushering in two decades of accumulation and development.
In this era, the foreign export trade of home appliances is the first to take advantage of it. This kind of window and opportunity is not something that any domestic company can seize. Everyone does not know much about international trade.
Coupled with the complex international environment, if you want your products to easily enter another country, product certification, quality inspection, certificates, etc., this set of processes is enough to make a company wait from birth to death.
Moreover, there are more twists and turns in the customs, which cannot be handled by a single company. To put it simply, there is not much money to be made in foreign trade, but a lot of money is divided.
This is also the reason why domestic companies don’t want to do it. In addition, the general environment is really bad. Let alone now, in 2020, foreign trade orders in the medical field will surge. How many products will the coastal areas export to the outside world? What is the result? The final paragraph
When the time comes, I don’t know how many people engaged in foreign trade will be dragged down. Don’t ask, asking will bring tears of bitterness.
In this day and age, there are road thieves and car tyrants in the country, and it is the same internationally. Pirates are rampant on the high seas. It is not unheard of for buyers to join forces with pirates to rob them halfway. The navy cannot provide long-range escort and can only be at the mercy of others. Those engaged in foreign trade
When it comes to pirates, it’s not the cool Pirates of the Caribbean, but the Pirates of the Gobi Desert!
It was precisely because of many reasons that Li Guangfa squeezed Lu Feng to death and did not dare to do anything to him, unless he did not want to take the road of foreign trade.
In Liucheng's office, approval documents for home appliances have piled up into a small mountain, mostly signed by Liucheng and Zhu Lidong.
"At present, we have done preliminary research and development on the three major items of refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, but the core components are still purchased, such as compressors and refrigerators. In such a short period of time, we can make
Yes, it’s about the design appearance.” Liucheng said frankly.
Lu Feng looked through the documents in his hand, and if he wanted to get them out in a short time, he must have copied them, and they were made up of a large number of assembled parts.
After reading for a while, Lu Feng was about to speak when he saw Su Yourong next to him and said, "You can go outside and have a cup of coffee."
"I'll find someone to arrange it!" Liucheng understood immediately, stood up and opened the door: "Xiao Liu, take this beauty to have a cup of coffee and take a rest."
"Can't I just drink coffee here?" Su Yourong was a little unhappy. He stood up and said, "Isn't it just a talk about products? I can't listen anymore? I'm not your competitor."
"Don't think too much. The main thing is to catch the flight. You didn't get a good rest last night, so go take a rest. This kind of thing is very boring." Lu Feng patted the folder and said: "What kind of industry chain and product design are in a mess.
Means nothing."
Lu Feng had said so, so she couldn't help but pick up her bag, turned around and walked away.
After Liucheng closed the door, he turned around and asked Lu Feng with a mysterious look on his face: "Who is she?"
"Um...a rich and beautiful woman." Lu Feng replied.
"Rich woman?" Liucheng thought for a moment and asked, "She won't be related to next year's budget, right?"
"Yes, it's related!" Lu Feng didn't want to talk too much about Su Yourong.
Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, Liucheng brainstormed for a while and thought that this woman should have something to do with Lu Feng's divorce. Jiafeng Electronics was burning too much money. If the current expansion rate continued, he might not know how much money it would burn in the future.
No matter how much money Lu Feng can make, he can't make so much. After the company is grouped into a group, it will usher in another round of expansion. Where can he get so much money?
Find a rich woman!
Liucheng sighed secretly and looked at Lu Feng. Outsiders thought that he was extremely glorious, but only the senior officials knew how difficult it was for him to be reduced to this level.
Of course, if R&D funds are insufficient next year, no matter how much Liucheng feels sorry for Lu Feng, he will try to help him find more rich women. After all, R&D is the top priority. Besides, Lu Feng is still young and in good health.
, some money is earned by young people.
Lu Feng looked through the design drawings in his hand, never dreaming that in just a few minutes, the CEO of his R&D company would find a good way to make a fortune for himself.
"Except for the core components, we can produce the rest ourselves. We will try our best to produce them ourselves and reduce the unit price. There is no problem with the rest. Home appliances will be launched next year along with the iteration of the Wipda TV." Lu Feng ordered.
"Except for the core components, we can indeed produce the rest ourselves, but if we copy them, we will easily get sued," Liu Cheng muttered.
"If you're not afraid of lawsuits, don't copy what's in China. You've already copied it anyway, so just copy what's abroad. If it's not listed in the country, just copy it." Lu Feng put the folder aside and said, "Including
You can also directly take over the appearance design. Their product design has been tested by the market. Most domestic users have no idea what it looks like outside. As for scolding outside, just scold them. If they come to sue in China, I'm afraid
who?"
After all, Liucheng had a background in R&D, and he had relatively strong industry ethics when it came to copyright, so he was quite reluctant to accept it. Although he agreed, his face was full of reluctance.
"Don't feel bad. Just one sentence, asking for money and face?" Lu Feng asked.
"Mr. Lu, I'm telling the truth, I want both money and face!" Liucheng said with a bitter smile.
"Where can I find Quan Yao? Go and look at the history of industrial development. Which one is not plagiarized in the early stage and independently developed in the later stage? If you copy this thing, you have to figure it out for yourself after copying it and find your own path in the future." Lu Feng patted him on the shoulder.
Said: "After the groupization, home appliances will become a category. There will be a specific person in charge. I will not take care of it anymore. Didn't I call you before to talk about communications?"
"Yes, where do you plan to go in terms of communications?" Liucheng silently thought about the research and development in his heart. This is all money. The research and development of any product requires a large budget. After thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Lu,
Next year’s pace seems a bit big!”
"We haven't made much progress in a year, but Danzi is still doing well. Now there are more and more paging platforms in China. Pagers are still very expensive. What we have to do is to break the price." Lu Feng said seriously.
Liucheng thought about it for a while. He knew something about the pager market and said, "Mr. Lu, I think the market for pagers will be average in the future. The country is now vigorously promoting phone booths, and many kiosks have begun to install phones.
There are already manufacturers doing this, last year we established Waveguide Electronic Communications, which makes pagers, and Taifeng Electronics."
Of course Lu Feng knew that there were already domestic companies doing this, but from 1994 to 1998, pagers grew rapidly in the past four years, from less than 10 million units to nearly 70 million units.
quantity.
The most important thing is that the information transmission technology of pagers lays the foundation for the future mobile phone manufacturing industry, which is equivalent to getting tickets earlier than other companies, especially the network access permit and production license.
"Don't be afraid of competition. Communications will be the mainstream of the future. You must enter the field early, especially in terms of technology accumulation. There is another thing for you next year, which is to find a less expensive company from the international market.
A research and development company that has accumulated experience in the semiconductor field." Lu Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and said, "Next year we will focus on investing in this area, and at the same time compete in pagers."
International acquisition?
Liucheng had heard him mention the acquisition of an international R&D company before, but he didn't expect it to come true. This would require a large amount of funds.
"Mr. Lu, I would like to know how much our R&D budget is for next year?" Liucheng probed cautiously.
"Four to five billion," Lu Feng wrote lightly.
When Liucheng heard this number, his heart trembled. Where could he get so much money?
"We will discuss this matter later. Starting from next year, we will strengthen our technology accumulation in the field of communications, especially core semiconductors." Lu Feng glanced at the time and said to Liucheng: "Let's hold a meeting to discuss it in detail.
, it’s getting late, I have to rush to the dinner party.”
"Okay, will you go home tonight or stay in a hotel?" Liucheng said, "If you want to stay in a hotel, I'll ask someone to make arrangements for you."
Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay in a hotel!"
At around six o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng got into the car and drove towards the agreed-upon hotel. Su Yourong sat next to him and said, "I drank a big bucket of coffee all afternoon."
"Drink more hot water, it's good." Lu Feng said without looking back.
"Is it heartwarming?"
"No! Nuan Jing!"
Su Yourong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
Lu Feng arrived at the hotel private room, ordered the food, and waited for more than an hour before the waiter opened the door and said, "Mr. Lu, your distinguished guest is here."
Mr. Li swaggered in with his two vice presidents. When he saw Lu Feng, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Lu. You didn't stand up when you saw me. Doesn't it seem inappropriate?"
"You're late, a whole hour!" Lu Feng's expression was not easy to see.
"Am I late?"
The waiter pulled out the chair, and Li Guangfa sat on it. He looked at Lu Feng and said, "You haven't figured out your current status yet? Will I be late? This beauty, am I late?"
Su Yourong nudged Lu Feng with her elbow, telling him not to be so arrogant. It was time to lower his head, and he smiled and said, "You came just in time, we arrived early."
