"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Wei Zetao agreed.

"Yeah." Yang Wendong nodded.

He doesn't have to participate in Taiwan's recruitment of professional plastic material R&D personnel, but the future electronics industry is its core industry, and its importance is even more important than the existing products. Of course, he needs to come for the interview in person.

……

December 12st, the last day before New Year’s Day.

Kwun Tong, Changxing Industrial Park, a man about 40 years old, led by Wei Zetao, came to the office building on the south side of the factory.

Wei Zetao said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang's office is upstairs."

The man surnamed Wang smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wei. I have long heard of the name of the sticky note king."

"You're welcome. We'll all be colleagues from now on." Wei Zetao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang still attaches great importance to the electronics industry. Mr. Wang, you can have a good exchange later."

"Okay." The man surnamed Wang said politely.

Afterwards, the two came to the chairman's office on the top floor.

“Mr. Yang.” Wei Zetao stepped forward and introduced, “This is Mr. Wang Zhiqun from the American Broadcasting Electronics Company;

Mr. Wang, this is my boss, Mr. Yang."

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I have long heard of your name." Wang Zhiqun immediately said politely.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Yang Wendong also said, "Please sit down."

Naturally, Yang Wendong already knew the information about the person who came for the interview.

Wang Zhiqun has an excellent resume. He graduated from Harvard University and later worked at HP, IBM and American Broadcasting Electronics, reaching middle and senior management levels.

Maybe it's because of racial reasons, but that's basically the limit.

"Thank you." Wang Zhiqun said politely.

Afterwards, the assistant brought over a few cups of hot tea. Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Hong Kong's winter isn't very cold, but drinking some hot tea will make you feel more comfortable."

Wang Zhiqun was also a man of the moment, so he said, "Yes, I have been in the United States for more than 20 years, and there is basically no habit of drinking hot water there, and even in winter, you have to add some ice to the water.

It’s not so bad at home, I can boil water myself, but when I’m out socializing, I often can’t stand it.”

"White and black people are still different from us yellow people." Yang Wendong said, "But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In an environment like the United States, we can only adapt to it."

"Yes." Wang Zhiqun nodded.

Yang Wendong asked again: "Has Wang Sheng ever considered returning to Hong Kong? Or even somewhere near Asia?"

Wang Zhiqun said: "I thought about it before, seven or eight years ago, but at that time, there was almost no electronics industry in Hong Kong. If I came back, I would not be able to find a suitable job unless I started a business.

My abilities, to a large extent, come from the opportunities given by my previous company, rather than from my own efforts.”

"Mr. Wang's observation is very accurate." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "He can clearly see the commercial nature of a place and his own true situation."

In my previous life, I often saw jokes about some people on the Internet. When they were working in big companies, everything went smoothly and they thought it was due to their own abilities. Then they quit their jobs and started their own businesses and suffered setbacks. Only then did they realize that everything they had before was just a platform number given by the big company.

Wang Zhiqun nodded and said, "It is important for people to know themselves. I have some knowledge about electronic technology and electronic products, but starting a company is another matter entirely."

"Yeah." Yang Wendong nodded. "Hong Kong was indeed not very good in the 50s, but in the past two years, Hong Kong's electronics industry has begun to develop. Mr. Wang can reconsider this matter."

Wang Zhiqun said: “Yes, in the past two years, Hong Kong’s radios have indeed been doing very well, and Japanese companies have felt threatened;
However, this product is still too simple, and the radios in Hong Kong are still too low-end. At present, it is still not acceptable.”

"There is a special situation in Hong Kong, that is, the Hong Kong government does not care about the development of enterprises under its jurisdiction. They pursue a free market, which means they are lazy." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "So now Hong Kong's electronics industry is a mess, while Japan and Taiwan are much stronger.

However, I will do what the Hong Kong government cannot do. I am very optimistic about the future of the electronics industry. If I want to build a large electronics company in Hong Kong, I need talents like Mr. Wang to join me. "

"I heard from Mr. Wei that Mr. Yang wants to make transistors?" Wang Zhiqun asked. Before coming here, he naturally knew some basic information.

Yang Wendong replied: "Yes, transistors are core components needed by many electronic products. If the electronics industry in Hong Kong wants to develop, it needs to have its own market. But this is just my first step. After I can produce transistors myself, I can try to produce other civilian electronic products."

As a time traveler, the advantage of making consumer products is naturally the greatest, because we know which home appliances will become necessities of life in the future, and some of them have not even appeared yet.

However, before that, the supply problem of core components must be solved first. Just like the glue used in the sticky notes, if you can produce it yourself, you should produce it yourself. If you really can't, you have to purchase from multiple sources to ensure that there are no problems with supply.

Transistors can be produced in Hong Kong, because in the past, Fairchild Semiconductor, the originator of the electronics industry, invested in a transistor production line in Hong Kong in the 60s. Although our technology is far inferior to others, it at least shows that it is feasible.

When the transistor supply problem is solved, we can enter the field of simple civilian electronic products without any worries. Otherwise, we may be like the current radio company, which seems to sell very well, but will roll its eyes when the Japanese choke it.
Wang Zhiqun asked curiously: "Mr. Yang, I have heard of you in the United States. It is said that these sticky notes and trolley cases are both your inventions. You can be said to be an inventor comparable to Edison.
I don’t know. Can I first know what electronic products you want to invest in? Are they new products as well?”

"Forget about Edison." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "There may be some new products, but they will mainly be home appliances. Even if I want to innovate, I need the technology."

In his previous life, when Yang Wendong was a child, he was influenced by "Readers" and "Yilin" and thought that Edison was a great inventor; but when he grew up, he found out that he was actually a big capitalist.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s a big capitalist, and Yang Wendong is no exception, but what he did to the real inventor Tesla is really...
Wang Zhiqun nodded and said, "Indeed, if the home appliance industry wants to innovate, it still has to start from the technical level."

Yang Wendong added: "So we need to have a technical team first before we can consider future matters, Mr. Wang, what do you think?
I'm sure you know my situation in Hong Kong. If you are willing to come to Hong Kong to help me, your salary will be 50% higher than that in the United States in the first year. Basic accommodation, your family and children can all be arranged to come to Hong Kong."

High-end talents are worth their weight in developed countries no matter where they go, because they can move freely. Even if African companies poach people, they have to offer salaries at the level of developed countries, or even higher.

"I am very satisfied with the salary and benefits." Wang Zhiqun said, "Mr. Yang wants to make transistors. Do you want to use them only for yourself, or do you want to supply them to Hong Kong, or even other parts of the world in the future?"

"Of course it's the latter." Yang Wendong said, "If I can make transistors, there's no reason to supply only to myself, right? Unless the production capacity is insufficient, that's only in the short term."

Wang Zhiqun thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then we need to buy a production line with a larger capacity. In Asia, it is estimated that only Japan has such equipment, but they probably won't sell it.

I think we can go to the United States to buy them. In recent years, Japanese transistors have begun to seize the US market, and American counterparts have suffered heavy losses. They may not have any regulations in this regard. "

"Sure, you can buy second-hand ones. I guess many large companies in the United States have redundant production lines." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Can I buy the relevant technical patents as well?"

In this era and in the next 20 years, Japan will make the American daddy bleed, but in order to fight against the polar bear and maintain the principle of free trade, the US government can only accept it.

This gives many other countries the opportunity to purchase various technologies and production lines.

Wang Zhiqun replied: "Yes, as long as we are willing to spend money, it is not a problem to let Americans come to Hong Kong to work."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Wang to help me look into this matter after you return to the United States." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

In the early stages of industrial development, it is inevitable to rely on overseas equipment. This was also the case in Japan in the early days, not to mention Hong Kong. These things could only be imported.

This is also the trouble of doing industry in small regions, as it is impossible to form a large-scale industrial chain.

Wang Zhiqun said, "Mr. Yang, you are too polite. You should not call me Mr. Wang anymore. Just call me Old Wang like Mr. Wei and the others."

"Okay, Lao Wang." Yang Wendong was not polite and said again: "Welcome to join my Changxing Group."

"Isn't it Changxing Industry?" Wang Zhiqun asked cautiously.

Before coming to Hong Kong, he learned about the structure of Yang Wendong's current industries. Changxing Group is the head office of the entire company. Although Changxing Industrial is large in scale, its level is that of branches.

Yang Wendong said: "No, the future electronics company will not belong to Changxing Industry, but will be independent and a separate company specializing in the research and development, production and sales of electronic products."

Although electronic products are also considered as industries, they have little to do with the existing industries of Changxing Industry, and the development direction is completely different.

The direction of Changxing Industrial is still close to 3M, focusing on various creative products.

Wang Zhiqun nodded and asked, "Then the name of the company is Changxing Electronics?"

"No." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Our future products will be branded, so the names should sound better.

I plan to name the company Honor Electronics. Honor is the brand, which is also very easy to remember and pronounce. "

The name of a brand is very important for its publicity effect, especially for civilian terminal products. Many brands spend a lot of money every year to make people remember their brand names.

Take Sony for example. In the early days, its name was Tsushin, which even Americans couldn’t pronounce in English. How could it be a brand?
Finally, after changing its name to Sony, it began its road to success.
