Chapter 492 Instead of establishing production bases, we'll become contract manufacturers.
Qi Tongwei returned to Pengcheng with Zhuang Wenbin; he still had some things to explain to Zhuang Wenbin.
Then bring back one or two medium-sized enterprises; that would explain why he disappeared for several days.
"Tongwei, according to the leader's instructions, what we did together has to be kept secret and not reported. Your contribution will also be hidden."
"Back in Shenzhen," Zhuang Wenbin said.
According to the leader's wishes, all the research and development of chips and operating systems was attributed to him.
"This is the best approach, allowing our chips and operating systems more time to develop and to quickly capture the market and form a mature ecosystem."
Whether I publicize my achievements or not makes no difference.
As you know, besides changing our country's position in the core field of computers, I did this for my own benefit and to gain the approval of higher-ups.
As long as the leaders and the country recognize my contributions, my career will be much smoother.
However, you'll face even more pressure from now on.
Qi Tongwei said indifferently.
For them, the successful development of their own chips and operating system has already achieved their goal.
"With the trust of my superiors, I will withstand the pressure and do my job well no matter what."
Zhuang Wenbin said.
Let me tell you my thoughts.
First, there's the operating system, followed by improvements and development of browsers, chat software, and other software and games, with normal upgrades and iterations.
At the same time, we will develop a portable operating system based on the operating system we have developed, and install it on mobile devices such as mobile phones.
Secondly, there are chips, which are being upgraded and iterated as usual while expanding into fields beyond computing.
Examples include consumer electronics (mobile phones), telecommunications, industrial and automotive, healthcare, energy, and finance.
Thirdly, there's LCD. Future computers, televisions, and mobile phones will all require a large number of LCD panels...
"From now on, the company will be divided into several parts, responsible for chips, software, LCDs, production, and marketing, etc."
Qi Tongwei shared his thoughts.
The boss told him not to show his face, so he has no reason to interfere with Qiyuan Company in the future; he can only offer suggestions.
"Ok!"
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
Although the leader said that he would be in full charge of Qiyuan Company from now on, there are still many things that Qi Tongwei needs to guide him on.
"In terms of production, we'll build a factory on 1,000 acres and then separate it from the rest."
We will expand our production scope, not only producing our own products, but also helping other companies produce products.
Just like the Citroën Fukang.
Let's put the factory next to Fukang. We need to communicate with the Pengcheng government as soon as possible. We want 5000 mu (approximately 333 hectares) of land, to be supplied in phases. The first phase should be the same size as the one supplied to Fukang.
Our initial investment is $1 million, which will be in place by the end of the year.
Qi Tongwei singled out production and talked about it separately.
Normally, production could be outsourced to existing contract manufacturers like Fukang, which would save time and effort.
But Qi Tongwei wanted to use his orders to promote foreign-funded contract manufacturers such as Fukang.
By setting up our own contract manufacturers, we can ensure that goods can be produced and supplied in a timely manner, avoiding the possibility of goods being seized due to a single regulation in the United States in the future.
Building a factory next to Fukang is also to repay the support from Shenzhen.
"Ok!"
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
"We also want to set up a contract factory covering a thousand acres in Xichun County. Qiyuan Company will contribute $4000 million, and I will figure out the remaining $6000 million."
In this way, you can reduce your joint venture capital investment and use the saved funds to invest in Xichun Plaza.
That way, you won't have to increase your financial burden.
Qi Tongwei said.
His previous arrangements would increase the financial pressure on Qiyuan Company, as launching and promoting new products requires a lot of money.
With this arrangement, Qiyuan Company no longer faces financial pressure and also has two contract manufacturers in the north and south.
Qi Tongwei originally wanted to outsource production directly to the contract manufacturer in Pengcheng, with the joint venture only responsible for selling the computers.
However, this would prevent the development of the computer industry in Southwest China.
For the development of the computer industry in Southwest Province, it is necessary to build an OEM factory.
Although the costs of contract manufacturers in Xichun County will be higher in the early stages, the industrial chain will gradually mature as relevant companies gradually invest and build factories there.
As the industrial chain matures, costs will naturally decrease.
Of course, there are also considerations for economic development.
A contract manufacturing plant covering a thousand acres requires 5000 workers and will increase the income of three to four thousand families.
"Okay, I listen to you!"
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
Then, Qi Tongwei, on behalf of Xichun County, signed an investment intention agreement with Zhuang Wenbin.
Hong Kong Qiyuan Company will invest US$4000 million to establish a joint venture with Xichun Computer Company.
After making arrangements at Qiyuan Company, Qi Tongwei went to visit equipment manufacturers in Shenzhen, specializing in textiles, wine, beverages, and food.
The textile city, food company, wine company and beverage company in Xichun County need some supporting enterprises, so it's a good opportunity to bring a few over.
In order to promote their production.
A few days later, Qi Tongwei led 17 equipment companies from the textile, wine, beverage, and food industries back to Xichun County for on-site inspections.
Then, a formal investment agreement was signed with them, with a total investment of 3.4 million yuan.
These companies are all medium-sized enterprises with assets of nearly 100 million or even over 100 million.
Xia Deqing's side also reaped considerable rewards, attracting 267 companies in two separate rounds, with a total investment of 7.3 million yuan.
Although they are all small businesses, it's quite impressive that so many companies have been attracted given the fierce competition among the counties and cities under Jincheng's jurisdiction.
Of course, the main reason these companies are willing to invest in Xichun County is that Xichun County can provide equipment relocation fees in a timely manner, and the industrial park has the best conditions.
With this, the number of companies that have moved in has reached nearly 900. With a little more effort, the number of companies will reach 1,000.
By then, the industrial park will be basically full.
Qi Tongwei first dealt with the work that had accumulated over this period, and then checked the progress of each project.
Especially regarding water and electricity, businesses have already started moving in; how can people produce anything without water and electricity?
The wastewater treatment plant in the industrial park needs to be built as soon as possible so that it can be put into use sooner and wastewater can be discharged indiscriminately.
Xichun County needs both economic development and a good environment, and it should develop scientifically.
To expedite the process, the industrial park is under construction day and night to better facilitate the move-in of businesses.
On the main highway, which is a six-lane dual carriageway, construction is carried out at night wherever possible, so that the road can be completed and put into use as soon as possible.
Once businesses start production, traffic pressure will increase dramatically, and the two old roads will not be able to handle such a large volume of traffic.
In the new city area, 1065 units of the first phase of residential housing have been sold, and 20 shops without subsidies have also been sold.
Many people have also reserved affordable housing.
In order to allow the residents who purchased the properties to move in as soon as possible, the city investment company is working day and night on construction.
"Xiao Luo, I've found a joint venture partner for the computer company. They'll be investing soon."
After the joint venture, the computer company will use the other party's name; we will no longer use our current name.
In addition, the production base will not be built, and the reserved land will be returned to the industrial park.
I'll have the industrial park acquire another 1000 mu (approximately 67 hectares) near the county seat, and we'll build a contract manufacturing plant there.
After finishing his work, Qi Tongwei called his secretary Luo Kang over and explained the arrangements for the computer company.
"Yes, County Head!"
Luo Kang nodded.
