Chapter 141 In-depth cooperation

On April 23, Zhao Dongsheng and his group boarded the flight from Paris to Beijing. Coincidentally, the crew of this flight was the group where Zhu Ming and Liu Juan were.

This time, not only Zhao Dongsheng sat in the first class, but Wu Wen and Zhou Jun, the leaders of the two electrical appliance factories, were also fortunate to enjoy this treatment.

With the continuous reports from domestic media, Zhao Dongsheng and Wu Wen have become idols of young people in China. The beautiful stewardess expressed their hope to take a photo with the two through Liu Juan. Of course, Zhao Dongsheng would not refuse such an opportunity to show his demeanor in public places, so he took a photo with Wu Wen and those stewardess with him with a smile.

After taking photos with the flight attendants, many passengers came to take photos one after another. Zhao Dongsheng and Wu Wen met each other's request one by one, leaving a very good impression on people.

Zhao Dongsheng will stay in the capital for a few days this time. Zhu Ming and Liu Juan are taking a break during this period and invited Zhao Dongsheng to attend their only son Zhu Hongwei's two-year-old birthday party. Zhao Dongsheng promised the two that they would go as long as he had time.

When the passenger plane landed at the international airport in Beijing, Zhao Dongsheng discovered that someone was picking up the plane next to the airport runway, and not a few people, but a group of people. Standing in front of the crowd was Huang Haoran, the governor of Hedong Province, who was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man next to him.

Standing behind Huang Haoran was Gu Liancheng, who smiled and talked with the people next to him, and seemed to be in a good mood.

There was a striking banner behind the crowd, which read "Warm welcome to the Hedong Provincial delegation to return from the Paris International Electronics Fair".

The person who talked and laughed with Huang Haoran was Wang Qiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Mechanical Industry. Because the Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory of the Ministry of Mechanical Industry cooperated with Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory, he came to the airport on behalf of the State Council to pick up the plane with Huang Haoran. The influence of this gold medal from Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory has risen to the national level.

Since Bai Hao is the highest-level leader of the Hedong Province delegation, Zhao Dongsheng followed him after he walked out of the cabin door. When he walked out of the cabin, he raised the gold medal trophy in his hand high. The reporters waiting below took photos and recorded this historic moment.

"Good job!" Huang Haoran shook hands with Bai Hao who was walking down the stairs, exchanged a few greetings, and then said to Zhao Dongsheng who was following behind with a smile.

"It is the result of everyone's efforts." Zhao Dongsheng hugged the trophy with one hand, held Huang Haoran's hand with the other, and said with a smile.

"Stay working hard." Seeing that Zhao Dongsheng's answer was just right, he was not arrogant or impatient, and his impression of him improved a lot, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Young man, good." Afterwards, when Zhao Dongsheng shook hands with Minister Wang standing beside Huang Haoran, Minister Wang praised with a smile.

"In the future, please support us juniors." Zhao Dongsheng had already learned Wang Qiang's identity from the introduction of the person next to him, and replied with a smile, and quietly narrowed the distance with Wang Qiang.

Next, Zhao Dongsheng shook hands with bureau-level leaders like Gu Liancheng in turn. Although Gu Liancheng didn't say much, his eyes were filled with praise when he looked at him, and even a hint of pride appeared in his eyes:

Due to the award from the electrical appliance factory, Huangzhou City's achievements in economic system reform and innovation have not only won the recognition of the central leaders, but also shining among brother cities, making Gu Liancheng stand out among the municipal leaders. Many other provinces and cities have been preparing to visit Huangzhou City to learn the successful experience of Huangzhou City. All of this is inseparable from Zhao Dongsheng, so he naturally has to praise Zhao Dongsheng more.

Zhao Dongsheng stayed in the capital for four days. During this period, he was not only received by Vice Premier Qi, who was in charge of industry, but also participated in social activities held by some departments in the capital and gave several reports.

Since Zhao Dongsheng's schedule was quite full, he regretted that he could not attend Zhu Hongwei's third birthday party, but asked Wu Wen to go on his behalf and brought him a birthday gift he gave to Zhu Hongwei.

After the event in Beijing ended, Zhao Dongsheng did not return to Hedong Province with Bai Hao, Gu Liancheng and others, but went to Jiangzhou City, the capital of Jiangnan Province with Wu Wen and Zhou Jun, where the Southeast Electrical and Industrial Electrical Factory of the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering was located.

When Wei Dong got the news that Zhao Dongsheng was coming, he was very surprised. He really couldn't understand why Zhao Dongsheng happened later, but he didn't think that Zhao Dongsheng was here to travel around, so he personally took people to the airport to pick him up.

"Brother Zhao, what wind blows you?" After seeing Zhao Dongsheng at the airport, Wei Dong smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Come and visit Big Brother's factory and learn about Big Brother's valuable experience." Zhao Dongsheng smiled and held Wei Dong's hand.

"It's us who learn from you. The reform of your factory was very successful." Wei Dong smiled and shook his head, reached out to Zhao Dongsheng and made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the car waiting outside the airport with a smile.

Zhao Dongsheng arrived near noon, and Wei Dong had arranged lunch, and several leaders from Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory were accompanying him. Since Zhao Dongsheng was going to visit the factory in the afternoon, they did not drink much, just order it.

At the dinner party, Wei Dong wanted to inquire about Zhao Dongsheng's purpose, but unfortunately Zhao Dongsheng was unwilling to reveal his intentions in the future. This made him quite suspicious and couldn't figure out what Zhao Dongsheng sold in the gourd.

After work in the afternoon, Zhao Dongsheng visited Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory under the leadership of Wei Dong. Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory, like Huangzhou Machinery Factory, has a large factory area. However, it is a department-level unit with more people than Huangzhou Machinery Factory, with more than 7,000 employees, making it an absolute large factory.

As a key enterprise of the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering, the equipment in the factory is the best in the domestic industry. Zhao Dongsheng checked and found that the performance of the machinery is two levels higher than that of the Huangzhou Electrical Equipment Factory. No wonder Southeast Electrical Equipment Factory is the leading enterprise of domestic electrical equipment factories.

After visiting the factory, it was already time to get off work. Zhao Dongsheng got into Wei Dong's car and went to the hotel Wei Dong had booked for dinner.

When the convoy was running to a section of the road, Zhao Dongsheng, who was talking and laughing with Wei Dong, suddenly saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of a factory on the side of the road, pulling banners and shouting slogans. Many policemen maintained order at the scene.

"This is..." The convoy did not stop and drove straight from the accident site. Zhao Dongsheng withdrew his gaze from outside the window and looked at Wei Dong beside him with some suspicion.

"That is the No. 1 Machinery Factory in Jiangzhou City, an old enterprise with a long history. Due to the corruption of the previous factory leaders and the old equipment, their factory had stopped production last year. The employees received more than 30 yuan of basic living expenses every month. The city has not come up with a solution, which makes the employees very dissatisfied." Wei Dong smiled slightly, explained to Zhao Dongsheng, and finally sighed, "There is a difficult scripture for home!"

"Is there any explanation here?" Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked quietly. Since Jiangzhou No. 1 Machinery Factory is an old company and has so many employees, the city should have solved the problem long ago.

"The specific situation is not clear. It is said that Jiangzhou No. 1 Machinery Factory is now insolvent and owes more than 40 million foreign debts. The city has differences on how to deal with this matter." Wei Dong shook his head, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.

When he heard Wei Dong say that there were differences in the city, Zhao Dongsheng felt that Wei Dong must have known something, but because of the disputes in the city, as the deputy director of Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory, he was not suitable to gossip about the right and wrong in the officialdom with an outsider Zhao Dongsheng.

Zhao Dongsheng did not ask questions, and then talked to Wei Dong about other things. Anyway, he would know about this kind of thing after inquiring about it in private.

The dinner party in the evening is different from noon. Since it is a rest time after dinner, the leaders of Southeast Electric Appliance Factory enthusiastically asked Zhao Dongsheng and Zhou Jun to drink. An important indicator of accompanying guests at the table is to let guests drink well, and the so-called drinking is often drunk.

As for Wu Wen, because she was a woman and her relationship with Zhao Dongsheng was a bit ambiguous, the leaders of Southeast Electric Appliance Factory did not make things difficult for her and asked a female cadre in the factory to accompany her to drink red wine there.

The leaders of Southeast Electric Appliance Factory are department-level cadres. Several of them are the heads of the Southeast Electric Appliance Factory Electronic Equipment Manufacturing Factory that cooperates with Zhao Dongsheng. If you want to deal with Zhao Dongsheng in the future, you will naturally have to drink more drinks with Zhao Dongsheng and contact each other.

The atmosphere at the table was very warm, and everyone was talking and laughing, and the relationship between the two sides gradually warmed up in constant clinking glasses.

"Brother Wei, let's go to the balcony for some breath." After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhao Dongsheng stood up and said to Wei Dong with a smile that the private room where they are is a VIP room with an outdoor balcony.

Wei Dong felt that Zhao Dongsheng had something to say to him, so he followed Zhao Dongsheng to the balcony and closed the glass door of the balcony.

"Brother Wei, our factory has limited production capacity. If we want to complete the supply contract of European dealers, we must build a new workshop. Including personnel and equipment, it will take at least three or four months to start production." Zhao Dongsheng did not talk to Wei Dongxu. After chatting for a while, he said to Wei Dong straight to the point, "I think it is better to cooperate with powerful manufacturers and concentrate resources to develop, so that we can compete with foreign companies."

"How do you plan to cooperate?" Wei Dong's eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard this. He looked at Zhao Dongsheng in surprise, surprised by Zhao Dongsheng's thought.

"I am planning to establish strategic partnerships with several manufacturers to jointly produce those tape recorders." Zhao Dongsheng smiled slightly and said in a deep voice.

"You... are you planning to let other manufacturers produce it?" Wei Dong was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that Zhao Dongsheng would do this. If that happens, wouldn't he have to share some of the profits? And would the European dealers agree to Zhao Dongsheng doing this?

At the same time, this also means that the patented technologies sold by Zhao Dongsheng for a sky-high price of 80 million US dollars will be known to outsiders and will easily be mastered by other manufacturers. Isn’t this a major loss to Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory?

"As long as we become a partner, our factory can authorize the partner manufacturers to produce." Zhao Dongsheng knew Wei Dong's doubts and explained with a smile, "Since we cooperate, of course we have to share resources. Don't worry, I have registered those patents in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. As long as others use these technologies, their products will not enter the markets of those countries, otherwise those dealers will not let them go."

"So that's it." Wei Dong nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that Zhao Dongsheng was so thoughtful. To be honest, his domestic market share was far less than that of the foreign market. As long as he kept the foreign market, it would be Zhao Dongsheng's victory. Then he asked with a smile, "Our factory should be one of your partners, right?"

"Of course, I'm here to inspect your factory according to the procedures. In my opinion, your factory fully meets the requirements of cooperation." Zhao Dongsheng nodded with a smile, "Our Mayor Gu has approved this plan and authorized me to handle this matter with full authority. As long as we both sides agree on the conditions, we can sign an agreement."

"Our factory will cooperate with each other." Wei Dongsheng never expected that Zhao Dongsheng would have such an important purpose this time, and then solemnly promised that this was a surprise for Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory.

"You already know our factory's recorders very well. On the premise of ensuring quality, how many units can your factory produce in a month?" Zhao Dongsheng smiled slightly and asked calmly.

"If we use all our factory's strength, we can produce 25,000 units per month." Wei Dong pondered for a moment and replied with a serious expression.

"Okay, as long as the quality and delivery time can be guaranteed, I can give your factory a order of 300,000 units a year. The raw materials will be purchased by our factory, and one unit will be given two hundred dollars." Zhao Dongsheng thought for a while, and looked up at Wei Dong seriously, "We are villains first and then gentlemen. If there is a problem with product quality and delivery time, then this responsibility will be borne by your factory."

"Two hundred dollars!" Wei Dong's eyes flashed with shock, which meant that Zhao Dongsheng almost gave the profit of the Will brand recorder for 40% to Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory.

He privately calculated that the material and labor cost of a Will brand recorder is about one hundred dollars, including eighty dollars in material costs and twenty dollars in labor costs. Zhao Dongsheng gave the Southeast Electric Appliance Factory a price of two hundred dollars. In addition to the labor costs of twenty dollars, they can make about one hundred and eighty dollars in each. The price is very fair and sincere.

"However, this involves an issue of taxation and industrial output value." Zhao Dongsheng saw Wei Dong's shocked look, so he smiled and said to Wei Dong, "Our city is preparing to implement a tax policy of halving for our factory in three years. I don't know what you have to do here, and how to calculate the ownership of industrial output value. This requires negotiation between the competent departments of the two places."

"The recorder in your factory won the international award and belongs to the field of high-tech. The country is encouraging high-tech industries, so we will also enjoy preferential tax policies in our city." Wei Dong was not worried about these two aspects and said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile, "This is a thing that is beneficial to the economic development of the two places. I believe that the competent departments of the two places will definitely discuss a reasonable way to solve the issue of the ownership of industrial output value."

After all, the more troublesome thing is the ownership of industrial output value, because it is related to the GDP of Huangzhou and Jiangzhou, which is an important indicator for measuring the economic development of a region. Therefore, the competent departments of both places must want to occupy the majority.

However, as Wei Dong said, this matter is beneficial to Huangzhou and Jiangzhou. Zhao Dongsheng can use the saved money to invest in other projects, which will increase Huangzhou City while Jiangzhou City has obtained an additional industrial output value for nothing. Therefore, although the two sides have conflicts in interest, cooperation is a major trend.

After dinner, after sending Zhao Dongsheng, Wu Wen and Zhou Jun to the hotel where they were resting, Wei Dong hurriedly went to Gong Xiaofeng to report what Zhao Dongsheng said. This is a major event in Southeast Electrical Appliance Factory, and many details need to be implemented.
