Chapter 251: Grand Plan, Cooperation is a Double Benefit
Chapter 251: Grand Plan, Cooperation is a Win-win
Da Pao puffed on a cigarette, breathing out through his nostrils, and said in a muffled voice: "Five factories, all products, prices are rising across the board."
"The old, big one will go up by twenty dollars. The newer typewriter will go up by seventy dollars."
Yin Zhaotang straightened up, slammed the table, and stood up, cursing, "You picked that star and treated me like a fool."
"Let's check who took the lead in raising prices."
In the early 1980s, pagers were considered a high-tech product, and there were no more than 20 OEM and R&D factories in Asia.
In the short term, the popularity of a new electronic product on the market may indeed cause its price to rise.
However, generally speaking, the sales side will raise prices to make a profit, and manufacturers will not offend long-term partners for the sake of short-term market conditions.
As a distributor, Zhongyitang should be the beneficiary and should not be sucked dry by others.
Da Pao crushed the cigarette butt, licked his lips, and said, "Brother Tang, I've checked and found that there are several shell companies that are buying up goods in Taiwan."
“Not only did they clear out the stocks of several companies, they also placed orders and claimed that they wanted to cooperate with them for a long time.”
Dan Tart looked doubtful and said, "Brother Tang, calling machines are not cheap, and the competitors are very powerful!"
"He comes with ill intentions." said Zuoshou.
Da Pao didn't keep anyone in suspense: "The general manager of Apollo told me that the man who came to buy the goods was called Pighead, and he was from Hong Kong Island Shenghe."
"A happy winner?" Yin Zhaotang said slowly while smoking a cigar.
Cannon nodded: "Yes."
Zuoshou looked unhappy: "Brother Tang, you are here to steal our business."
Unless Taiwan sets up a joint venture factory in the mainland, locally produced goods must go through Hong Kong businessmen before entering the country.
After all, cooperation with Hong Kong businessmen is the policy direction, so it is understandable to secretly sell some smuggled goods.
In the process of the SAR's economic development, some shady transactions are all expected by the top leaders. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as the report card is submitted, the fine can be written off.
The capital market is a hotbed of corruption, and the mainland conservatives are afraid of spiritual collapse. But those who are far-sighted have seen clearly that capital and corruption are not equal, and conservatism can also breed corruption.
When one is poor, one tends to be greedy a little; when one is rich, one tends to be very corrupt.
We must always be open and always fight corruption.
But directly connecting with Taiwan is not smuggling, but treason!
Therefore, after Shenghe buys up the goods, it will definitely sell them to the mainland.
The demand for calling machines in China is actually very huge. Before the era of PHS, there were 65 million users, ranking first in the world.
At the same time, call machines will be damaged and need to be replaced.
We currently sell digital machines and text machines, and in the future we will also sell voice machines and weather machines (value-added services such as weather forecasts and stock market news can be purchased)
There are one-way receivers, and there are two-way transceivers.
The entire market cannot be handled by a dozen factories in Taiwan, nor does it necessarily rely on Japanese technology.
In the early stage of the market, they entered the market through smuggling, took out the profits after a few years, set up an electronics factory for research and development, and completed the accumulation of industrial technology before the 90s.
Starting from manufacturing calling machines, the company has expanded to manufacturing mobile phones, PHS, MP3, DVD, stereo and smart phones.
Even to the final automotive industry.
Yin Zhaotang had a long-term business plan in mind that would span several decades. As long as it was successful, it would provide food and clothing for millions of canal workers and would be the role that the entire society would play on the stage of a great country in the future.
If it can be done, it will not only mean washing one's hands clean and landing safely, but also help the national economy and become a role model for business tycoons and Hong Kong businessmen.
Hong Kong Island can reap the dividends of industrial manufacturing and avoid the chaos and property bubble after the financial crisis.
Seize the missed opportunities to bring welfare to the nation and strengthen the country.
Although, due to his current status, he cannot tell his brothers about his grand plans, but he has already planned for the future and is taking one step at a time.
He has already stepped half a foot out of the quagmire of the Triad.
Now that I have encountered an old senior who has come to disrupt things, I feel a little unhappy, but adhering to the principle that harmony brings wealth, I still plan to give Kai Xin a chance.
"Da Pao, go to Si Hai Restaurant and book a private room. Order a deep-well roast goose and a pot of traditional Chinese soup."
"Ah Hao, you go and hand out the invitation and ask Brother Kai Xin to prepare to attend the banquet." Yin Zhaotang said.
Da Pao and Jiang Hao both agreed in unison.
Jiang Hao, a worker in Jordan District and known as the God of War of the Chaozhou Gang, personally went to Kai Xin's house to hand her the invitation, which was really a great honor for her.
Kai Xin accepted the invitation personally, clasped his hands and said, "I will definitely be there!"
Pighead watched Jiang Hao leave in a car, and said in a bad tone: "Boss, ask Jiang Hao to hand over the invitation. Shenxiantang is soft but tough."
"He is talking to me. If I don't talk, I will beat him." Kai Xin turned around and threw the invitation on the table, facing the statue in the hall.
In the underground gambling den, there is an incense table next to the wall of the finance room.
On the desk stands a golden statue of Guan Gong, holding a knife and stroking his beard, looking very majestic. On the wall hang two photos, one of the Chairman on the left and the Prime Minister on the right.
I saw him burn incense respectfully and happily with a calm expression.
When Pighead saw the big boss start to worship the gods, he stopped talking, put his hands together, and started to worship as well.
Six p.m.
Kowloon City, Si Hai Restaurant.
Kai Xin waved his hand and asked a few followers to wait at the door, and took Zhu Tou to the table. He said enthusiastically: "Ah Tang, last time at Shenghe Restaurant, there were too many people and too many chatterboxes to have time to chat for a while."
"Today, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together again, so we should drink a few more glasses." Yin Zhaotang asked the waiter to serve the food, sat back in his chair, raised his glass and said, "We are busy with work on weekdays, so we must have a good time when we have a chance to get together."
"Cheers, brother Happy."
Kai Xin quickly stood up and smiled back, "Drink to win."
The waiter started serving the dishes: abalone, bird's nest, roast goose, grouper, each one was a famous delicacy.
In addition, Yin Zhaotang brought Zuoshou, Ale, Shatouzi, Jiang Hao, and Dapao.
All the officials from the three halls were present, which really showed great courtesy.
Da Pao saw that the greetings were over, picked up the food and asked, "Brother Kai Xin, you've been out for a while, what business are you doing recently?"
Pighead glanced at him and continued, "It's just a small business, I'm afraid it won't be in the eyes of Big Cannon."
He happily drank the abalone soup with his head held high, covering his face with the bottom of the bowl.
"A friend of mine told me that Pighead often goes to Taiwan. What does he do for that?" Dapao asked.
Pighead laughed and said, "I bought some stuff to sell, and I have to report it to you. Has the Dafei Gang under Brother Dapao changed to anti-smuggling or anti-drug?"
Da Pao was angry and pointed at Zhu Tou: "I have nothing to do with you selling cocaine, but if you sell call machines, you are competing with me for food. Be careful not to fall into the sea."
Yin Zhaotang whispered, "That's enough, cannon."
"Some friction in business is inevitable, but bidding against each other will only enrich Taiwanese manufacturers."
"Today, I'll raise my price by thirty, and tomorrow you'll raise yours by fifty. The price of smuggled goods is about to catch up with the licensed goods. Brothers, why are you risking your lives? It's fun to fly into Shencheng Bay in the middle of the night!"
He happily lit a cigarette, looked at Yin Zhaotang, and blew out a Taoist arrow: "Mr. Yin has a brilliant idea, why not tell me about it."
“I don’t want vicious competition.”
Yin Zhaotang said: "I guess Brother Kai Xin is supplying goods to the mainland. Since we are supplying goods together, why not purchase and ship them together?"
“It’s all from Taiwan Island to Hong Kong Island, via Shenzhen Bay, one route.”
“Purchasing together not only eliminates the need for bidding, but also makes it easier to negotiate prices with manufacturers.”
Kai Xin had an obvious look of surprise on his face, and he asked solemnly, "If one more family of mine takes away food, Yin Sheng will take one in."
"Number Gang, new members are coming one by one, why?"
Yin Zhaotang sneered: "In an industry where there are Lao Zhong and Sheng He, there is still a chance for outsiders to intervene, so you and I should stop mixing in it."
"Besides, I cooperate with you for the sake of the mainland, so that we can be patriotic businessmen together."
Kai Xin understood that purchasing goods together with Yin Zhaotang would bring him all benefits with no disadvantages.
After all, with one increase and one decrease in price, each calling machine can bring in hundreds of extra profits.
There is no need to worry about Taiwan’s factories banding together.
This is because China will be the largest market for call phones in the future, and not doing business in China is equivalent to giving up manufacturing.
Give Hong Kong Island, Shenzhen and Singapore opportunities!
The call machines sent to Guangdong Province are not only consumed in the province, but a large number of merchants from inland provinces will come to Guangdong Province to purchase in bulk.
Take it back home and sell it, which is another profit.
Going south to pan for gold has become a trend.
Zuoshou advised: "Brother Kaixin, my boss doesn't cooperate with everyone, don't waste the opportunity."
The more Kai Xin thought about it, the better it seemed. He couldn't help but raise his glass and praised, "Mr. Yin, that's a good idea, but I have to say one thing first. My goods must be landed in Shanshou."
“In the future, only my products will be sold in Shanshou Electronics Market.”
Yin Zhaotang immediately understood the difficulty of being happy, but he couldn't guarantee it, so he stood up and said, "There's no problem landing in Shanshou, but the distribution in the mainland is not my responsibility."
"There is competition in the provincial market. If the mainland agents really want to enter the Shantou market, it has nothing to do with me."
The establishment of three special economic zones in Guangdong Province, namely Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou, is actually equivalent to encouraging competition. At least one special economic zone in the province can be established through the window of Hong Kong Island.
The ideal situation is for the three major special administrative regions to take off at the same time.
The Pearl River Delta is perfectly formed.
In the early days, Zhuhai and Shantou had infrastructure advantages, while Shenzhen, based on Bao'an, was starting from a blank sheet of paper, with both advantages and disadvantages being very obvious.
The higher-ups were not sure that Shenzhen would be able to thrive, so in the early 1800s, the policies for the special zone were consistent. Shenzhen's status was the result of repeated inspections by the heads of state and the accumulation of foreign trade achievement reports.
There may be multiple manufacturing centers in a province, with different business formats, but there must be only one distribution center. Zhongguancun in the north, Qiujiang Road in the Yangtze River Delta, and Huaqiangbei in the Pearl River Delta.
Yin Zhaotang was 100% sure that the distributors in Shenzhen would definitely fight with Shanshou. If Kai Xin was too deeply involved with Shanshou, the most ideal mode of cooperation would be ruined.
At the same time, don’t think about having a future even if you are happy. If you follow Shanshou, you will get hit by six sticks in one second.
But being happy to have connections with Shanshou does not mean that he is very close to Shanshou. He just has connections in Shanshou, so he will naturally go there when looking for ways to make money.
With better options available, it's easy to jump ship.
Kai Xin already had a way to break out of the situation in his mind. Seeing that Yin Zhaotang was sincere and had a vision, he decided to show his trump card.
He took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, and said, "When I was in Stanley, someone said there was a new God of Wealth in the Jianghu, named Shenxiantang."
"Today, I saw the skills of a god, but I didn't see his spirit. What's the point of going to Taiwan to buy goods all day? I invested in the United States to buy technology, build an assembly plant in the New Territories, and export directly to the mainland."
"No matter how hard they fight in the province, they will eventually sell our New Territories products. I wonder if Mr. Yin thinks this is a good idea?"
