Chapter 601 [The third meeting! 】
October 26, Tokyo, Japan.
It was drizzling in the sky, and Wu Guangyao stood at the entrance of the Lenovo Group headquarters factory, with many senior executives including Akio Morita and Ikuo.
In addition to the management and staff of Lenovo Group, there are many police officers who are watching the scene around them;
It is obvious that Lenovo Group is coming to an important guest.
"Here you come!"
Wu Guangyao looked outside and was indeed a convoy of Japanese police cars leading the way.
"We've met twice this month!"
"It's my honor! Will we go to visit the workshop first?"
"Okay, I feel deeply touched when visiting Panasonic Electric; I am also looking forward to Lenovo Group's workshop!"
"Don't worry, Lenovo Group only wins first place, not second place!"
"It's great! Youth is just about being motivated!"
When I came to the Lenovo Color TV production workshop, the elderly were very slow in visiting, and they observed the product production process very carefully, and asked the lecturers from time to time.
"Mr. Panasonic said that their color TVs have sold 50 million units, so how many color TVs have been sold by Lenovo Electric?"
Wu Guangyao showed a confident smile on his face and said, "There are 80 million units! Moreover, among Panasonic's 50 million color TVs, 20 million color TVs have a 20 million color TV imaging tube. It is produced by our company and is currently the most advanced 'Trilon' technology in the world."
After hearing this, the old man frankly said: "We will carry out modernization in the future. On the basis of self-reliance, we are ready to absorb overseas technology and funds; Mr. Wu, can you help China's modernization construction?"
Sincerity, frankness and determination, Wu Guangyao was very moved!
Wu Guangyao said in Sichuan dialect used in his previous life: "For the development of the motherland, I am willing to give my all and do my best to help!"
After visiting the workshop, he came to a conference room. Wu Guangyao hoped to get an inscription, and the old man happily agreed.
During his time in Japan, he wrote an inscription for Nissan Motor Company: "Learn from the great, hardworking, brave and wise Japanese people, and pay tribute to them";
Inscription for Junjin Steel Plant: "The road to friendly cooperation between China and Japan is getting wider and wider, let's work together!"
Inscription for Panasonic Electrical Industry Company: "China-Japan Friendship, a bright future."
The old man slowly wrote: "The pioneer of Sino-Japanese cooperation and role model!"
Wu Guangyao was satisfied and asked someone to keep it well!
............
In Lenovo Group and Wu Guangyao's office, Akio Morita and Fukada I sit on the sofa.
"President, how should we cooperate with the mainland?" Akio Morita asked tentatively.
Akio Morita has little thoughts and is worried that Wu Guangyao will do many things at all costs;
For example, Lenovo Group's Tritron technology and production equipment are donated free of charge;
For example, donate chip technology and equipment free of charge;
The consequences of doing so will not only make Lenovo Group lose its competitiveness, but will also make Lenovo Group reach the "Batuan Tuan Agreement", which may affect the market in the United States in the future.
Although Wu Guangyao did not have such an idea, Akio Morita's attitude still made Wu Guangyao a little unhappy;
So, Wu Guangyao taught a lesson: "Your Japanese Junjin Steel Plant, when she was asked to transfer technology and impart management experience, was worried that she would have another opponent, but she still agreed to this request; when you Panasonic Electrical Appliances were asked to participate in the modernization of China, Mr. Panasonic agreed immediately; Lenovo Electrical Appliances is essentially the major shareholder, and I think your worries are unnecessary!"
Akio Morita has never seen Wu Guangyao blame him since he worked with him;
At this time, he realized that he had annoyed Wu Guangyao, so he quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.
Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "Okay! I know what you are worried about. I can tell you responsibly that even if I want to do that, it won't work. After all, Lenovo Group still has more than 100,000 people to have dinner!"
Akio Morita then realized how much worries he had!
"It was because I was not considerate and made the president laugh!"
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "But you prepare for the survival line of black and white TVs, I plan to give it to the mainland! As for color TV production, we can slowly negotiate with the mainland to strive to establish a company in a joint venture."
It is not that the mainland cannot produce black and white TVs, but the equipment on the production line is very aging and inefficient;
Therefore, sending the entire production line equipment is the best demand in the mainland at present;
And color TVs have no market in mainland China, and no one can afford them;
But if it is used for export, wouldn’t it destroy the fundamental interests of Lenovo Group?
In history, Konosuke Matsushita persuaded him to support the mainland in major electronic factories in Japan;
Unfortunately, the reactions of major Japanese electronic manufacturers were mediocre and their hearts were still full of worry;
Therefore, Panasonic Shinnosuke had to let Panasonic Electric go to mainland China to cooperate first!
However, even so, the joint venture color TV factory was officially put into production in 1987;
You can imagine how many twists and turns there are due to the uncertainty of the policy!
And there is another reason. In the 1980s, the mainland was seriously short of foreign exchange and adopted a planned economy;
Foreign exchange balance is a corporate law established by the state in the 1980s to protect its foreign exchange, which stipulates that any joint venture that sells products domestically must reach a foreign exchange balance. That is to say, if one dollar of products is sold in China, one dollar of products must also be exported, or more.
Any joint venture established in China is protected by law, that is, if you make RMB, you have the right to exchange foreign exchange dollars from the central bank according to regulations.
Now is the initial period of reform and opening up, and all the focus of the world is here. Therefore, in order to protect its small foreign exchange reserves, for any foreign-invested company investing in China, it is necessary to negotiate how to maintain a foreign exchange balance before signing the agreement.
In this era, it is difficult to earn foreign exchange from the mainland government and then transfer abroad!
A small amount is OK, but it is basically impossible to be larger. For example, although Coca-Cola Company entered the mainland in 1978, it is not allowed to be sold to Chinese people at all, and can only be sold to foreign businessmen or tourists to China.
It can only be successful unless it is a cooperative project of strategic materials that some countries are urgently needed or a special project approved by the highest leadership. However, the lifespan of these projects is basically not long. As long as the country's foreign exchange is consumed for a long time, this is never allowed in the 1980s.
No matter what, Wu Guangyao can provide some modern technology;
But it will take at least the end of the eighty years to build a factory on a large scale;
In addition, Tianshuiwei Industrial Park was the main force in the 1980s.
"What the boss said!"
"You just need to focus on the company. I know these things in my mind and will deal with them myself!"
Cooperation is not achieved overnight. It requires waiting for the policy to be clear while advancing slowly.
Chapter completed!
