Chapter 1951 Background of the Times

Zhu Pingfan and Rui Chengzhi were of course impatient. They wanted to let Yin Jun sneak all the factories and companies into eastern Guangdong and Yuezhou.

But they also know that such a thing is impossible.

Even if Yin Jun is willing, it involves the interests of all aspects of Xiangjiang and the stability of local society in Xiangjiang. It is impossible for the higher-ups to allow this plan.

What a joke!

Once the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people is involved, there will be big trouble in Xiangjiang.

Compared with the development of eastern Guangdong, the stability and positive role of Xiangjiang are more important.

The reason why Yin Jun is so valued by Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yun is because of his deep roots in Xiangjiang.

Besides, China is not just one city in Guangdong and one province in eastern Guangdong. If you take over all the good things, what will the cities in the north think? What do you think of the cities in Jiangnan? What do the southwestern provinces think?

As the world's richest man, Yin Jun's power in Xiangjiang is far greater than that of just running a company or factory in the mainland.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Yin Jun dares to move all his factories to the mainland, he will definitely be greeted by overt or covert suppression from various countries. In the future, it will basically be announced what companies and technologies Yin Jun wants to acquire. impossible.

Both Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yun also know that Yin Jun provides a large amount of funding to political parties in the United Kingdom and the United States every year, and various public relations expenses are even more terrifying - just like Li Chaoren and Charter King. Do that.

If these relationships are not maintained, even if you are the richest man in the world, even if you are the world's leading media tycoon, you will be as strong as an ant under the power of the entire West, and you will not be much stronger.

Therefore, Zhu Pingfan and Rui Chengzhi are just laying the groundwork now, looking forward to the day when the time comes. The first thing Yin Junneng will consider is eastern Guangdong, that is, Guangdong Province.

They also have this confidence.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty, when it was isolated in a corner and vigorously developed commerce, eastern Guangdong has become an important commercial center, and it has not changed since then.

When it comes to the business atmosphere, Eastern Guangdong is not inferior to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, let alone Shanxi merchants who only rely on their personal abilities.

And the most important thing is that Xiangjiang and eastern Guangdong are separated by a strip of water. If people from Xiangjiang want to do business in the mainland, eastern Guangdong must be their first choice.

It's just that Yin Jun is different from others. He has far-reaching vision. His first factory in the mainland was established in Lin'an, then in Huajing, and the third one was in eastern Guangdong, so they couldn't help but not pay attention and be careful.

Of course Yin Jun knew what they were thinking, but Yin Jun didn't quite agree with their thoughts.

Is the development of eastern Guangdong due to the support of Hong Kong's wealthy people?

Not at all.

Half of the development of eastern Guangdong relies on the merchants of Baodao, and the remaining half relies on their own efforts, which has almost nothing to do with the nearby merchants of Xiangjiang.

Oh, I can’t say it doesn’t matter.

The labor-intensive industry in the 1980s was also pioneered by Xiangjiang businessmen.

For example, electronic watches, plastic products, small household appliances, clothing industry, etc. are also invested by Xiangjiang businessmen in eastern Guangdong.

The salary conditions in eastern Guangdong are ten times lower than those there, and water, electricity and raw materials are also cheaper. The most important thing is that there are almost no taxes. Who wouldn’t want to open a factory here to make money?

And there is a very good rule in Hong Kong, that is, the money you earn overseas does not need to be taxed in Hong Kong.

Based on this calculation, their factory business in the mainland, etc., are equivalent to making money in vain!

It is precisely because they have this foundation that when Baodao businessmen entered the mainland in the 1990s, they took a fancy to this investment treasure land - it has a mature supply chain and policy services, and more importantly, millions of people Skilled industrial workers can make their labor-intensive factories flourish.

Compared with the scale of Baodao's factories, Xiangjiang's is simply not impressive enough. Therefore, once Baodao businessmen enter the mainland, except for the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, the rest will basically be finished.

It was also under the guidance of the Baodao factory that the factories in the mainland began to slowly explore on their own, started OEM work, and then established their own brands, and finally succeeded in turn.

Therefore, when Eastern Guangdong places its expectations on the people of Hong Kong, it simply does not understand the economic structure of Hong Kong, and it is an empty joy.

According to Yin Jun's idea, areas such as eastern Guangdong and Jiangnan, which have dense labor and developed transportation, should go directly out to Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe to take various orders.

If it's too profound, they won't understand it, and if it's too simple, others won't understand it.

Just take those labor-intensive orders, make small profits but quick turnover, but can train a large number of industrial workers.

As long as they train hard for ten or twenty years, they will naturally be more prosperous than in their previous lives without being exploited by Japanese, Korean and Baodao merchants.

Of course, this is what Yin Jun takes for granted.

With the current cautiousness in China, how can they have the courage to go abroad to grab orders like crazy? Then even if they go to grab it, they have no experience in how to grab it and how to get it!

Not to mention Huawei setting rules in the communications field around the world like 40 years later.

Huawei has also spent decades of hard work, starting from being suppressed step by step, and finally slowly counterattacked to become the world's number one.

If businessmen from Xiangjiang and Baodao hadn't brought the orders over and hired people to produce them themselves, it would have been impossible for the mainland to receive the orders directly.

From a certain perspective, the companies in Baodao and Xiangjiang act as middlemen and guarantors, and they confirm what we have earned.

No matter how you talk about it, workers can get companies, the country can introduce technology and capital, get tax revenue, develop the economy, and actively move closer to advanced developed countries... Isn't this a lot of benefits?

Therefore, their existence and their success have a deep historical background and are inevitable.

It's not that the mainland has to be so mean and let the businessmen of Xiangjiang and Baodao make a fortune.

Just like Yin Jun's current investment in the mainland, it just caters to the ambivalent psychology of the mainland.

Therefore, Yin Jun's business must obey and obey this historical development. It is impossible to push the seedlings to promote the rapid development of the mainland.

Facts will definitely prove that such eagerness for quick success is definitely a huge disaster.

Mr. Xiao's saying of "crossing the river by feeling for the stones", if you think about it carefully and seriously, there is really a profound truth in it. People who are not very wise cannot say such philosophical words.

Come back to the present.

The two gentlemen just talked about it at the beginning. Seeing that Yin Jun was not particularly interested, they stopped mentioning it any further.

At this time, the previous speech has come to an end, and what follows is a normal opening procedure. After all this is completed, it is almost evening.

The dinner party in China is very unique.

It is not as free and relaxed as in the West, but the atmosphere is very lively.

Except for Yin Jun who cannot drink, the rest of the Xiangjiang merchants who came to congratulate him were warmly received, and many of them were drunk.

Li Chaoren is really Superman.

Obviously, Yin Jun's face was already flushed when he saw him at the banquet, but after ten minutes of returning to the White Swan Hotel room, he took a shower and changed his clothes, and then he knocked on Yin Jun's door again. He became energetic again and showed no signs of being drunk at all.

The old fox hides a little deep.

It is said that people in eastern Guangdong are not as good at drinking as people in southwest China, but looking at Li Chaoren, we know that things are not so absolute.

"Yin Sheng, what do you think of the current development in Guangdong?" Li Chaoren asked directly after taking a sip of tea.

"It's okay." Yin Jun replied.

Li Chaoren saw Yin Jun's dissatisfaction, but smiled and said: "Compared to New York, Tokyo and Xiangjiang, it is naturally inadequate, but this city is developing very rapidly, with various industries booming, and it has great potential. ah!"

"It's true." Yin Jun nodded, "With the support of such a large population, and with so many migrant workers prospering the local area, Guangdong's future development potential is much greater than that of Xiangjiang."

Li Chaoren felt a little funny.

More than once, he heard Yin Jun praise these mainland cities and belittle Xiangjiang.

In his opinion, Yin Jun is a die-hard Mainland fan, so his words are naturally biased.

But Li Chaoren didn't know that Yin Jun came back 40 years later. He saw the development of the mainland and the loneliness of Xiangjiang in those years. Of course, what he said was the truth.

"As you know, Hutchison Telecom is now planning to do cellular phone business. We are not planning to do it in Xiangjiang, but I want to give it a try in this city of Guangdong. What do you think?" Thinking of this, Li Superman didn't hide anything and directly stated his intentions.

When he mentioned it, Yin Jun remembered it.

The first mobile phone communications company in Hong Kong in the previous life was established this year by a joint venture between Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Telecom and Motorola.

Then, inspired by them, two years later in 1987, eastern Guangdong Province started cellular mobile communications services.

Well, it's a pilot.

Also launching at almost the same time was Shanghai and Hainan.

Therefore, in later generations, the two places had a lot of war of words over "who was the first birthplace of mobile phone business in China."

But in fact, the mobile phone services in these two cities are useless.

It would be in the 1990s that mobile phones would gradually develop.

To be precise, it should be after 1993, which is the second year after Yin Jun was born.

The mobile phones that appeared in the mainland at that time were Motorola's third-generation products, the famous Big Brother.

Even the mainland's own mobile phone business has failed. Li Chaoren's attempt to start a mobile phone business in Guangdong is of course unreliable.

Li Chaoren is Yin Jun's friend and one of the allies he wants to actively win over. Yin Jun certainly doesn't want to watch him step into a trap.

Besides, who is the parent company of Hutchison Telecom?

Isn’t it Cheung Kong Holdings?

Yin Jun is the second largest shareholder of Yangtze River Industries, so he can't watch his company lose a lot of money.

"Li Sheng, you are still a little impatient." Yin Jun shook his head and said directly, "You don't need to talk about Guangdong. Look at the developed big cities in Asia. In addition to Tokyo, which can quickly accept mobile phones and develop rapidly, Which other city has not developed step by step? Even Bangkok and Singapore, the largest cities in the Four Asian Tigers, have only just begun to make profits. It will take at least five years to recover the costs... Here in Guangdong, I don’t believe it if it’s less than ten years.”

"Ten years?" Li Chaoren took a breath of air.

He knew Yin Jun's vision and believed in Yin Jun's prediction, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Yin Jun specifically to discuss it.

Hutchison Telecom's plan to launch a mobile phone business in Guangdong is definitely not something you can do today and start business tomorrow.

But the period of ten years was so long that Li Chaoren couldn't believe it.

"Ten years will not be the best." Yin Jun added, "My feeling is that if the mainland's mobile phone business wants to truly develop, it should be after 2000! Only then will their potential be truly transformed. Only consumption power can support the development of mobile phone business!"

After a pause, the young man said, "Even in Shanghai, Huajing and Guangdong, there are people who don't have enough to eat... Under such circumstances, do you think the mobile phone business that needs quantity support can really develop? "

Li Chaoren remained silent.

After a moment, he nodded, "Then I'll let them study it further!"

Seeing him like this, Yin Jun also frowned slightly.

Li Chaoren never goes to extremes and is very good at accepting correct opinions. It seems that he has made a decision now.

However, Li Chaoren would never have imagined that after ten or eight years, when the mainland mobile phone business starts, foreign capital will never be allowed to operate this area.

In order to prevent Hutchison Telecommunications from losing money, Yin Jun immediately gave up his idea!
