"Is the progress going smoothly?" Su Yourong asked: "You should be careful when investing such a large amount of money. This is not a traditional industry. A few days ago, several shareholders of United Capital gathered together for dinner and said
I can feel that they regret it a little bit when it comes to you."
"Regret? Chi La, no one can take the money out of my pocket." Lu Feng leaned back, found a suitable posture, and said: "So far, it's going well, if nothing goes wrong.
, I went back in early January.”
"Then you can come back to celebrate the New Year. I plan to go home to celebrate the New Year this year. Do you want to go back with me?" Su Yourong was afraid that Lu Feng would think too much, so he said, "I just thought it would be pitiful for you to go back to celebrate the New Year alone because you just got divorced this year.
Damn it, I haven't been back for several years, my family thought I was missing."
"No, no, no!" Lu Feng refused.
Su Yourong on the other end of the phone seemed a little disappointed, but still didn't say much. He just talked about some concerns of United Capital shareholders and hoped that Lu Feng would be more stable in the future.
It is normal for them to worry. In the past, although foreign technologies were advanced in terms of home appliances, they had little influence on inland areas. International home appliance manufacturers mainly supplied developed countries.
The domestic market has grown rapidly in recent years, and a series of protective measures such as tariffs have made it impossible for them to enter the mainland market and compete with these companies.
The country's tariff barrier is the protective barrier for enterprises, and what Lu Feng is doing now is to break through this security barrier, run out to fight with others, and also use his hands and feet in a high-precision field such as communications, without worrying about being fake.
.
Jiafeng Electronics is considered a big fish in the domestic pond, but now what Lu Feng is doing is tentatively entering the sea from the river, and being hammered to death is nothing new.
A group of people from Yanagi City prepared the relevant materials and called the secretary's office of Ichiro Hirata, vice president of ROHM Semiconductor Group.
The two parties agreed to talk on the phone in an hour.
In the conference room at the headquarters of ROHM Group, the top management held the second meeting on the current global market competition. Ichiro Hirata looked through the folders in front of him.
The Overseas Marketing Department is currently under great pressure from competition in foreign markets, and domestic competition is unprecedentedly high. It is urgent to expand market cooperation in some countries.
"We still believe that the Four Asian Tigers are our first choice, and we will continue to increase in-depth cooperation with local companies and carry out in-depth bundling!" A vice president in his 50s and 60s said firmly: "I think the development prospects of the Four Tigers are still there.
It has not yet fully unfolded and the economy will be able to develop sustainably for decades.”
Everyone present agreed that after ten years of rapid growth from the mid-1980s to now, these four places seem to have endless economic potential. They have become the four largest large-scale factories in Asia, running day and night, producing various products.
A wide variety of products are sold around the world.
Ichiro Hirata had a different idea and said: "I think we can focus on mainland China. As far as I know, Motorola's pagers are selling very well there, and the GDP has grown rapidly in recent years."
The chairman looked at him, and other people also looked in this direction, with a bit of joking on their faces. Mainland China?
"Mr. Hirata, haven't you read the recently released per capita GDP data?" Another vice president looked at him and said: "China's per capita GDP in 1993 was 377 US dollars, and Africa ranked ahead of her.
of Zambia.”
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh. The current per capita GDP of the mainland lags behind that of most African countries, and the per capita consumption power is very low!
The chairman remembered something, looked at Ichiro Hirata and asked: "Didn't you tell me some time ago that a Chinese company wanted to acquire our laboratory?"
"Yes!" Ichiro Hirata nodded: "We are currently in contact with an electronics group company in mainland China. They are very sincere."
"Ruixin Laboratory has been abandoned for several years, and related research and development has long been stagnant. Those technologies are of no use to us. If the price is right, we can sell them!" The chairman thought for a moment and asked everyone:
"What do you think?"
"I don't agree!" A tall, thin man said: "These technologies are indeed of little use to us, but to them, they are advanced technologies. According to international practice, they cannot be sold to China.
.”
The so-called international practice is actually an international high-end technology blockade led by the United States, which includes a series of regulations prohibiting the sale of precision machine tools, large gantry cranes, tunnel shield machines, military technology, chemical technology, etc.
Underneath these are a series of unwritten international hidden rules. Any technology patents that can promote production must not be transferred, especially precision machine tool technology, which is known as the mother of industry.
Ichiro Hirata hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is just some semiconductor technology from the early years, and it doesn't contain much. I don't think it involves the so-called ban on sales. Even if they get these technologies, what can they do?
Make more pagers, they are just the pagers we had more than ten years ago."
"It's very difficult to find a suitable buyer globally. If we keep it for another ten years, these technology patents will really be outmoded and worthless. At this critical time, it will be very valuable for the group to be able to regain some blood."
Good thing. Besides, what year is this? This is 1994, not 1972!"
The debate at the scene was somewhat heated. The chairman pondered for a while, closed the folder in front of him, and said, "Today's meeting will end here. Regarding the matter of Ruixin Laboratory, I will trouble Mr. Hirata."
Ichiro Hirata stood up, bowed slightly, nodded and said, "Hi!"
Everyone walked out of the conference room. Just a few steps after Ichiro Hirata walked out, Shi Watanabe, the vice president in charge of the business department, came over, looked at him and said, "You seem to be very interested in selling Ruixin Laboratory?"
"I am the general person in charge of the group's overseas assets. I have my own evaluation of these assets. Ruixin Laboratory is too old and needs to be sold. If it waits any longer, it will be a loss for the group!" Ichiro Hirata said solemnly.
"Then who should we sell to? Why should we sell to him? We can definitely sell to American companies." Watanabe suggested.
"I also want to sell it to them, but they don't want it!" Ichiro Hirata said angrily.
"Then give it to them as a gift." Watanabe frowned and said, "If you can't do it, I know a lot of people on Wall Street..."
"Stop mentioning your experience on Wall Street. We all know that you have experience in studying in the United States. Don't interfere with my work!" He glanced at Watanabe, turned around and walked towards his office, whispering: "The best person on Wall Street
Loyal dog!!”
Just as he returned to the office, the secretary walked in and said: "Mr. Minister, the person in charge of Jiafeng Electronics Group has called and hopes to discuss the Ruixin Laboratory with you. I have made an appointment in three minutes."
"Okay, call me now." Ichiro Hirata still wanted to push forward with this matter, because he felt that the chairman wanted to sell Ruixin Laboratory in exchange for part of the funds.
The secretary answered the phone and made some simple exchanges. Lu Feng was already sitting by the phone.
"Dear Lu Feng-san, it's a pleasure to talk to you on the phone!" Ichiro Hirata said politely.
"Mr. Hirata, I'm very happy to hear your voice. We have contacted you before and we arrived yesterday. We are absolutely sincere about this acquisition!" Lu Feng said into the phone, and the little translator girl
Just sit aside.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's have dinner together today. I'll treat you. I'll take care of you. At the same time, we're also very sincere. We'll have a formal meeting tomorrow." Ichiro Hirata suggested.
"Okay, no problem!" Lu Feng agreed.
"In order to show my kindness to the landlord, I will send a company car to pick you up."
Ichiro Hirata really wants to sell, but in such a large group, it is complicated and intertwined, so it is not easy to go smoothly.
At five o'clock in the evening, three black Toyota cars parked downstairs. Lu Feng and others got in the cars and went straight to the hotel.
Songchuan Japanese Restaurant is a well-known local restaurant. It is said that it has been passed down for three generations. The people here are better at the 'craftsman' spirit. Whatever the father does, the son will do. It is like the inheritance of ancient Chinese craftsmen and masons.
His son is also a mason.
Such a social structure is destined to be depressing, and everyone is somewhat unwilling deep down in their hearts. If you look at this society during the day, you will see it as strict, gentle, and kind, but if you look at it at night, it will appear dissolute, and the surface and inner performance will be extremely torn apart.
On the tatami, Lu Feng felt a little uncomfortable. Sitting across from him were three people, Hirata Ichiro. He looked at Lu Feng with a look of disbelief.
"Are you the chairman of Jiafeng Electronics Group?" he asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am Lu Feng." Lu Feng replied.
"I would like to ask, how old are you?"
"New year, twenty-seven years old." Lu Feng said.
"Si Guoyi!" Ichiro Hirata opened his mouth in shock, poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the glass and said, "Here's a toast to you. At your age, I'm still a small clerk."
"Cheers, cheers!" Lu Feng picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked: "What is the current attitude of the group's senior management towards Ruixin Laboratory? I want to know."
Ichiro Hirata really wanted to sell, but he would not say it foolishly. He hesitated and said: "Internal opinions are relatively scattered. It mainly depends on your sincerity, because the patent rights of Ruixin Laboratory still have many core technologies.
.”
After saying this, Liucheng laughed at the side and couldn't help but said: "I am the person in charge of Jiafeng Electronics R&D Company. The technical patents of Ruixin Laboratory are all things that have been eliminated by the times. You will not sell the core technology."
