Chapter 1224 Coal

If Wu Shanlin and a few people knew that Chen Qing's next stop was to hold a meeting at a yamen in Huangchenggen, they would probably be even more trembling.

The meeting is still about tomorrow.

It started at two o'clock and lasted for an hour. It mainly re-organized the details of the implementation of various measures from the start of the press conference to the subsequent measures in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon, so as to ensure that everything was foolproof.

After the meeting was over, after Chen Qing left, she rushed to the Ministry of Electronics Industry and temporarily joined a seminar on the vcd industry here.

After the 15.7 million vcd shipments in China in 1996, the shipments of major brands have reached 21.3 million in the first three quarters of this year, and it is expected to be around 28 million in the whole year. Although the price of vcd has dropped to an average of about 1,500 yuan, and there are even cheap vcd disc players within 1,000 yuan, in general, this is still an emerging industry with annual sales reaching 40 billion yuan.

It's all about taxes and jobs.

However, the vcd industry is also facing a visible crisis.

DVD.

The standard storage capacity of vcd disc is 700dvd is 4.3g, only this one, the gap represented by the two cannot make up.

However, the direct annual sales is an industry with a scale of 40 billion, plus the tax and employment behind it, even if it cannot be compensated, it must be maintained as much as possible.

It is inevitable that some people will be puzzled. Isn't it enough to produce DVDs instead?

The problem is that the patents of DVDs are strictly monopolized by overseas manufacturers such as Sony and Philips, which is far less open than that of vcds. In addition, China is seeking to join TO, one of which is the protection of intellectual property rights. If DVDs are to be produced, in addition to expensive zero The procurement of components also requires huge patent fees to be paid to overseas manufacturers.

As a result, it is very likely that the manufacturers worked hard, but most of the profits were easily taken away by overseas patent manufacturers.

In the past, the actual situation of the DVD industry was like this, especially for export, it was even more necessary to pay royalties strictly. As a result, China produced the largest number of DVD players in the world, but the money was only made by manufacturers such as Sony and Philips. a fraction of .

This meeting of the Ministry of Electronics Industry is to discuss the way out for vcd.

In fact, some manufacturers have proposed solutions, which are probably similar to the previous super vcd.

Although the storage medium is still CD disc, it is expected to make an all-round breakthrough in image quality, sound and so on.

The Westeros system also supports the super vcd solution, because Scooby, which is controlled by the Westeros system, is still the main supplier of vcd decoding chips, and the current market share still exceeds 70%, which is a real huge benefit involve.

As for DVDs, although Scooby has also launched its own DVD video decoding chip, this time with companies such as Sony and Philips, it is obviously impossible to take the lead, not to mention the initiative of the entire industry. Rise up, and Skullberg will likewise be marginalized.

Therefore, the conference representatives from Chen Qing and Skober personally stated at this seminar that they will spare no effort to support the research and development of China's super vcd, and develop a new generation of video decoding chips for this purpose.

The meeting continued until five o'clock in the afternoon.

When Chen Qing left the Ministry of Electronics Industry, she was still a little emotional.

She has heard the news that the state will abolish the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications next year, and merge to establish a new Ministry of Information Industry, in order to follow the trend and promote the development of China's electronic information industry.

Returning to Mao'er Hutong and taking a short rest, Chen Qing hurried to a dinner in the evening.

This time, the Shanxi Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau held a welcome banquet to welcome the investment investigation team of Billiton Company, a subsidiary of Johnston Holdings, which had just arrived from Australia.

Moreover, it is because of Chen Qing's matchmaking.

What can Shanxi invest in?

Obviously, coal.

China's coal mining industry also accepts foreign investment, but in recent years, due to the downturn in the industry, the scale of foreign investment in this field is not large.

Chen Qing received some requests a few days ago, and the inside information is not enough for outsiders. In short, she tried to help pull some investment in Shanxi, and tentatively handed some plans to her own boss. In the end, it was a matter of course that she chose coal.

Shanxi really has no other options.

However, Chen Qing initially thought that her boss was also planning to invest a little bit in order to cope with human feelings. In any case, she did not expect that after some communication, the estimated investment amount directly soared to 500 million US dollars.

500 million US dollars, which is more than 4 billion RMB.

After the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, all parties are tightening their investment in Asia, and it is inevitable for mainland China to drop such a large sum of money, which will almost knock people out.

Therefore, the team from Shanxi could not wait, and went directly to the capital to pick up the plane.

Chen Qing doesn't know why her boss is optimistic about the coal industry. You must know that this is also a dazzling circle, but since it is her boss's decision, she must still resolutely implement it.

Why did Simon take a fancy to it?

Of course, it is because of the prophetic advantage of the two worlds.

In the past, after joining to, China's economy entered a period of rapid development. Economic growth meant a substantial increase in the demand for energy. Coal is a very important part of China's energy consumption structure, because it involves electricity, even if After ten or twenty years, the proportion of thermal power in China has also stood at more than 70%, and it is mainly coal.

Electricity.

The increase in demand has caused China's coal demand and price to rise steadily in the years after the new century. Shanxi's coal bosses made a lot of money in those years, and became famous because of various local tyrants.

Since you can see these things and send favors, the investment is quite secure, so of course you can make a bet.

However, like the Suzhou-Hangzhou Expressway that plans to invest, Simon's strategy for investing in China's coal industry is to withdraw within 10 years.

This is also an approximate industry cycle in memory.

The huge profits of the coal industry in the early millennium were mainly due to China's sudden accession to the WTO and a huge increase in energy demand, resulting in insufficient production capacity. When China's coal production capacity gradually catches up, coupled with the strengthened regulation of related industries, the life of the industry will not be so moist.

The time node happens to be around 2008.

Chen Qing has a special status and is a woman, so she will not be persuaded to drink at dinner, but she is still a little drunk when she returns to Mao'er Hutong at more than nine o'clock.

Run off to take a hot bath again while thinking about tomorrow.

You really work hard.

Jiang Shanwu sisters served Chen Qing to enter the hot spring bath, Jiang Shanwu just said one more thing: "Qin Buzui has been waiting here all afternoon."

"Let her..." Chen Qing was about to blurt out again subconsciously, and when she reacted, the words turned a corner: "...let her come over."

Jiang Shanwu agreed, and she didn't need to call in person, she used her mobile phone to notify, and soon a waitress came here with a tall girl with a petite face, big eyes, and naturally smiling lips.

Seeing that Qin was not drunk, Chen Qing immediately regained her spirits and invited: "If you are not drunk, come and take a bath with my sister."

Qin Buzui and Chen Qing are not familiar with each other, not to mention the strange look of a girl in the pool that is obviously going to eat people, shaking her head and rejecting: "Thank you sister Chen, I don't need it."

Chen Qing is not reluctant. It's so tiring for the overlord to force the bow. She can't afford to be a weak woman, so she patted her side: "Come and sit."

Qin Buzui did not refuse this time. He stepped forward and sat down on a soft cushion handed by Jiang Shanwu by the circular hot spring pool. Then he went straight to the topic: "Sister Chen, has Simon responded?"

Chen Qing immersed most of her body in the pool comfortably, with only one head exposed, and let the two sisters around her help him wash it. Hearing that, she did not continue to hide it: "Yes, the boss said that you should handle it yourself."

Qin was not drunk, but he didn't look too happy, and asked again, "Then, can you send my mother back to Sichuan?"

"Okay," Chen Qing said, opened her eyes and glanced at Qin Buzui: "What are you going to do with it."

Qin Buzui suddenly raised his voice slightly: "lock her up, like the one with the surname Zhang."

Chen Qing asked, "Is there no time limit?"

This time, Qin Buzui obviously hesitated for a while, she already knew that her mother's husband could never get out of prison again.

A few years ago, the grandfather and grandmother had an accident, and the surnamed Zhang had a great responsibility. However, her original idea was to let the other party go bankrupt and go to prison for a few more years. Now, the person surnamed Zhang has been sentenced to life, which is actually similar to the death penalty, which makes the hatred she accumulated over the years disappear without knowing it.

Now, to my own mother... After all, it is my own mother...

Chen Qing waited for a while, but when she didn't see Qin Buzui answer, she opened her eyes to look over, and continued, "Do you know that your mother is very beautiful?"

Qin Bu drunk paused, then nodded.

"And it's very beautiful," Chen Qing emphasized again, and continued: "Even if you haven't been in a place like a prison, you can probably guess. In short, anything can happen, and your mother is so beautiful. Not to mention the indefinite sentence, even if it is 10 years, if you really go in, my sister will tell you frankly, you might as well send your mother to heaven and earth, at least you can make some money."

Although Qin Buzui is young, the few years after her grandparents passed away, she had also experienced world events. When Chen Qing talked about heaven and earth, it was not the first time for her to come to Beijing. She also knew that she was a little angry at first, but then she was hesitant again.

After being silent for a while, Qin Buzui finally spoke again: "Then, Sister Chen, I, I hope my mother will go back and guard the tomb of my grandfather and grandmother as an atonement."

Chen Qing sneered again: "What's your mother's temperament, you don't know?"

Qin Buzui nodded: "I know, so she wants to atone for her sins."

Chen Qing said: "I mean, if you believe in fate, let your mother go to guard the tomb of your grandfather and grandmother. Do you think that your mother's temperament will devoutly pray that your grandfather and grandmother rest in peace every day, and cast a good one in the next life. People, or something else, tsk, I don't want to say more."

Qin Buzui suddenly understood again.

Thinking of my mother's selfish and vicious son, indeed, it would be good if she...not cursed, there would be some kind of piety there.

Thinking of this, Qin Buzui suddenly felt a little stunned. For revenge, she worked very hard these years, and after seizing the opportunity, she decided to implement it. However, she is just a young girl who just turned 18 after all, not to mention her mother's temperament, even Chen Qing's temperament is far inferior.

As a result, for the mother that he hated for a long time, he can obviously deal with it at will, but now it is like a cat facing a hedgehog, unable to start.

Chen Qing looked at Qin Buzui's expression, held back her smile, and said, "Otherwise, I'd better send your mother to the heaven and earth, she will definitely be the top card, and all the money she earns will be given to you as an atonement."

Qin Buzui shook his head subconsciously: "It can't be like this."

Chen Qing showed an impatient expression, made a gesture to the waitress who brought Qin Buzui in the door not far away, waited for the other party to approach, and said, "Send her to the Wenyu River, and let the mother and daughter discuss it by themselves. Well, it's annoying."

The waitress agreed.

Qin also got up when he was not drunk.

Chen Qing then added to the waitress: "Also, look at it, their mother and daughter can fight, but they are not allowed to scratch their faces."

The waitress nodded.

Qin is not drunk: "..."

I want to grab people's face now, what should I do?

Chen Qing watched the waitress take Qin Buzui away, and then said to Jiang Shanwu beside him: "Call Wen Yuhe and tell that woman that her daughter has the right to deal with her, but her daughter has softened, let her cry, The more miserable the better, and if you don't cry well, you'll go to jail."

Jiang Shanwu nodded and took the phone next to her with a smile.

Chen Qing caught Jiang Yuanchi on the other side in the spring and touched it, alas, it was not new, and suddenly remembered something: "Didn't Momo call her classmates for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Yuanchi blushed and nodded.

Chen Qing was immediately excited: "Call over and call over, let's take a bath together."
