Chapter 75 Return to Shenzhen

In the era of market economy, there was a story that was cited countless times, and no one could explain its earliest source clearly.

It is said that a boss asked three salesmen to sell combs to monks), and the final result was used as the basis for them to be hired. The performance and results of the three salesmen in this story have many meanings, one of which shows the greatness of marketing, and marketing creates demand.

But this is what happened in the era of buyers' markets.

Li Siming said: "If every Chinese family buys our color TV, we will have to be busy for at least thirty years!"

Zeng Zhi said: "If we not only sell color TVs, but also refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and each family only buys our products, then we won't have to do anything else in our lifetime."

This is the "great wish" of Li Siming and Zeng Zhi in the era of seller market or the era of shortage economics.

Saburo Watanabe thought this was impossible, but it was worth a try, even if it only accounts for a part of it, as long as the speed is fast enough and the product is good enough. So he kept visiting negotiations in Japan, and no one knew that he would lead these equipment to China.

After the release of "Forrest Gump", Li Siming seemed to have been idle. However, since the release, he still has to attend some necessary publicity work, including endless cocktail parties, press conferences, and of course, omnipresent reporters. After showing up a few times, Li Siming left the United States on the grounds of going home to visit his relatives.

Boeing planes are speeding over the Pacific Ocean, with white clouds under the blue sky and the immortal sun, which coats the white clouds with a layer of glorious color.

"Our educated youth foundation has been established. Where is yours?" Li Siming turned his head and asked Xiaodao beside him.

"I've been waiting for you for this long time!" Xiaodao said with a smile, "I thought you couldn't bear to bear the money!"

"Nonsense, have you underestimated me, right?" Li Siming said.

"It's not that I underestimated you, I won't do it if the money is too little!" Xiaodao said pickyly.

"Look at you like this, you're still pulling it up." Li Siming stared and said, "If you don't do it, I'll look for someone else!"

"I'm just kidding." Xiaodao said with a smile, "But, the money must not be too small. Is it a drop in the bucket to make you feel better?"

"I will pay 5 million yuan first, and it will increase in the future. But I can remind you that in the past two years, you have been well-informed, so don't regard charity as a career that only spends money." Li Siming said.

"Don't worry about this. I have never eaten pork and seen pigs running around. I've already thought about it. I'll find all the people first. The people with wolf teeth are very busy now, and it's useless to find them. I'm going to find some veterans who have been retiring from the army and transferred to the industry through them. As long as one requirement is enthusiasm, integrity and responsibility. In addition, you, the boss, will you, find someone to be responsible for the audit?" Xiaodao said.

"I will ask a Hong Kong accountant to take charge of this. Be careful not to let me catch the handle. If I catch it, I will throw you off the plane and feed the sharks." Li Siming threatened.

"Then you can only think about it. If you throw me down now, everyone on the plane will testify to me. You are the murderer!" Xiaodao did not have any sense of cooperation.

"Of course." Li Siming smoothed Xiaodao's clothes that he had just wrinkled, and said angrily, "You are a lonely man now. If I want to commit the crime once, I have to wait until you have a wife and children before taking action. That way it will be a little more lethal."

"..." Xiaodao could only regard his words as wind in his ears.

The plane landed in Hong Kong in the evening. Li Siming and Xiaodao rested in Hong Kong for a night. Li Siming noticed that "Forrest Gump" has been released in Hong Kong. Although it cannot be released at the same time as the North American market, Boss Yindulin's speed is not ordinary. Usually, foreign movies will be released in Hong Kong at least about 6 months, which is quite satisfying to Li Siming. However, Li Siming does not have much expectations for the box office of his movies in Hong Kong. Now Hong Kong's local movies are extremely strong and have not yet reached their peak.

The second phase of the talks between China and the UK on the Hong Kong issue began in Beijing on July 12, 1983. This was a marathon negotiation. As the UK still adhered to the position of "sovereignty for governance", the talks were deadlocked from the beginning. The UK also played the "economic card" to put pressure on China and bargained. On September 24, the Hong Kong dollar closed at 1 USD 9.6 HKD, reaching a record low. From the 23rd to the 24th, the Hong Kong dollar depreciated by 12.9% against the US dollar in just 48 hours, and the average depreciation of 15 major currencies was 11.6%.

Hong Kong's financial system is facing a crisis of complete collapse. It is quite a trend of "black clouds crushing the city and want to destroy", which immediately caused people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to strongly criticize the UK's attempt to suppress China's concessions with the "economic card". Thousands of citizens held a rally in Victoria Park, demanding that the Hong Kong authorities take measures as soon as possible to stop the decline of the Hong Kong dollar and the rise in prices. The Xinbao, which has always claimed to be objective and neutral, also published an article entitled "The dangerous move that harms others but does not benefit oneself", pointed out that some people think that "it may not be a mess, and it may be able to strengthen the British bargaining ability." In fact, this is a "safe move that harms others but does not benefit oneself". "If Hong Kong and Britain strive for advantages at the negotiating table

, After another chaos, the interests of Hong Kong people will be sacrificed again, and even those who are afraid of the Communist Party will be disgusted." In this case, the Hong Kong and British authorities felt that they were not taking measures as soon as possible to clean up the situation, which would inevitably cause serious consequences, and shot themselves in the foot. On October 15, the Hong Kong and British authorities announced a fixed exchange rate, exchanged 1 USD for 7.8 Hong Kong and HKD deposit interest tax, and the 10% interest rate of Hong Kong dollars, and the bank's best interest rate also increased from 13% to 16%, which quickly rebounded the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar. This serious Hong Kong dollar crisis made Hong Kong people still feel scared when they recall the "September storm" that finally passed, and the UK's "economic card" also declared bankruptcy.

"It's better to lose all your money if you fall again!" Li Siming thought angrily.

After reading the relevant reports in the newspapers bought from the airport, Li Siming once again lamented that finance is a very "money" knowledge. Unfortunately, he didn't understand at all. Otherwise, it would be much more profitable than shooting a blockbuster movie. He forgot that the risks in this industry were greater, and saying this was quite meaningless to say that grapes were sour.

The next day, Li Siming and Xiaodao rushed to Shenzhen. Xiaodao and Li Siming parted ways and left directly to find his old comrades-in-arms.

Shenzhen’s changes can only be said to be changing with each passing day. Buildings are rising from the ground, and spacious roads lead to all directions. Builders from all over the country have also appeared here, and the first batch of workers have emerged, and they eventually became Shenzhen people. However, Shenzhen’s development was not smooth. In order to attract investment and obtain construction funds, Shenzhen adopted the method of renting out land to attract foreign capital, mainly from Hong Kong.

Lenin once advocated "capital for social use". He said: "We are not afraid of renting out 1/4 of Groz and 1/4 of Baku, so we will use it to make the remaining 3/4 catch up with advanced capitalist countries." Research data shows that two-thirds of the large industrial enterprises in the Soviet Union were built with American technical assistance, and they also hired a 20,000 American, German and Italian experts as "reinforcements."

Shenzhen people found a reason. Hong Kong Dexing Company took the lead in renting 5,000 square meters of land and built the Dexing Building. Hong Kong China Overseas Investment Company then rented 3,000 square meters of land and built the Haifengyuan Building. But this approach immediately attracted various criticism. A certain unit once organized a discussion meeting publicly, with the theme: How to view "protect national defense on the front line and sell land in the rear"? A newspaper publicly published "The Origin of the Old China Concession", which alluded to the "land rental" of the Special Administrative Region is the "concession". Someone publicly whistled: "The shocking case of selling nationals in Shenzhen" and publicly commented on the fact that it was a sudden public opinion. It was not until August 26, 1980 that Shenzhen escaped from the whirlpool. On that day, the "Regulations on Special Economic Zones of Guangdong Province" passed by the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress affirmed the "paid use of state-owned land".

However, not only that, Shenzhen’s superficial prosperity has to face some doubts: First, when the Shenzhen Special Zone was about to end in 1983, it did not achieve what it said was "three-based". Funds were mainly foreign capital, industrial structure was mainly industrial, and products were mainly exported. This was the development goal set by the central government for Shenzhen, but it was not the case. Second, some people believed that the Special Zone made money from the mainland. Some people wrote in a harmonious manner: "What's even better is that some Shanghai people went to Shenzhen to buy a broken bone umbrella.

, found out that it was sent from Shanghai to Hong Kong and then returned to Shenzhen. Shanghai people were very happy, saying that it cost a few dollars less than buying in Shanghai; Shenzhen people were also happy, saying that it made a few dollars. Hong Kong department stores were also happy, saying that it made a few dollars. I don’t know who has seen the ghost! Afan mentioned fishing for the moon in the well. "Third, some of the machinery and equipment bought for a lot of money, but it turned out that it was eliminated by others, or even produced by domestic products. This is one of the most important reasons why Li Siming agreed to Watanabe Saburo's shareholding.

However, Li Siming ignored these economic debates.

Standing on the commanding heights of the construction site, overlooking the busy construction workers below. If there are a pair of wings, Li Siming wants to fly. This is Nantou Management District, part of the future Nanshan District.

Shuai Xu was so proud that he was very proud: "Look, this place will belong to us." With money, Shuai Xu was more confident. He was building a science and technology building, a ten-story building with a half-moon shape. This is definitely not the tallest building in Shenzhen, but it covers too large acres. Opposite to this science and technology building is an office building of the same shape, but it is still on paper. There is no need to build it yet. Surrounding these two half-moon shape buildings is a Chinese-style garden, but now it is a messy construction site full of building materials and dust.

Not far to the west is the planned factory. The projects there are much simpler and almost completed, just waiting for the equipment to be installed.

"I hope this is an exciting place, an enterprising place, a place where new things will be born every day, a place where all young people who are determined to innovate technology, middle-aged people or respected old scientists are willing to live for a long time, and a place where you can leave footnotes in China's modernization cause!" Li Siming stared at everything in front of him as if he was as sharp as a gaze, and said seriously.

"You said it really well. If you really can become such a company, it would be worth selling my life to you." Shuai Shuai looked at Li Siming's expression that was not like a joke, and was quite moved.

"What you said is nice. Don't forget that you are only two years older than me, and you are also a shareholder. When I heard what you said, it seemed that I was Huang Shiren, and you are Yang Bailao who is suffering and revenge!" Li Siming was dissatisfied.

"For the government, do you want to meet me? Our 'boss' is Azhi, it's not good to see you." Xu Dashuai said.

"Then I will meet our 'boss'." Li Siming said.
