Chapter 126: The First Lesson

A row of motorcades stopped in front of the Dongling High-Tech headquarters building, and Luo Junwu and Yao Zhengru immediately led people to greet them.

"Director Li!"

The first to come down was a man in his 50s wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a smile on his face. After shaking hands with Luo Junwu and Yao Zhengru, before Li Dongling could step forward, Li Weimin took a step forward, held Li Dongling's hand, and pulled Li Dongling to his side.

Li Weimin's posture was almost done. The appearance of Dongling High-Tech must be a direct beneficiary of the Pingyang Municipal Government, but in the final analysis, Dongling High-Tech is still under the jurisdiction of the Hanxi Provincial Department of Industry. With the existence of Dongling High-Tech, whether Li Weimin is reporting to the provincial government or accepting media interviews, it is an achievement that can be taken out, and this is also one of the achievements during his tenure!

"This is Director Gu of the Economic and Trade Commission!"

"Director He, the director of the Foreign Exchange Department!"

After Li Weimin, two more men came down. Li Weimin introduced the two to everyone. Gu Xiguang is in the prime of his life, just over 40 years old this year, and a well-fitting suit makes him look very energetic.

Compared to Gu Xiguang, the other one, He Heng, is a few years older, wearing an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, with black-rimmed glasses on his face, giving people a serious feeling of not being able to laugh.

A group of people from Pingyang shook hands with Li Weimin, Gu Xiguang, and He Heng one after another.

"Director Gu," when it was Li Dongling's turn, just after shaking hands with Gu Xi, Gu Xiguang said with a smile, "Today I finally saw you, Junior Brother Li. When I was in the Yanjing department, I heard Junior Brother Li's name, and our old principal, in front of us, I don't know how many times he mentioned you. My ears are almost calloused. Today I finally saw the real person!"

Hearing Gu Xiguang's words, Li Weimin, Luo Junwu, Yao Zhengru, and others couldn't help but look at the two. They didn't expect that Gu Xiguang was actually a graduate of Hanxi Jiaoda just like Li Dongling.

The Yanjing Economic and Trade Commission sent Gu Xiguang, who has a background in Hanxi Jiaoda, to inspect Dongling High-Tech, and Gu Xiguang publicly clarified this relationship. Everyone present is a human spirit. How could they not see the doorway in this? Obviously, Gu Xiguang came this time with the intention of supporting Dongling High-Tech!

Sure enough, Yao Zhengru and others, after seeing Gu Xiguang say these words, He Heng's face changed slightly. Although it was only a small fluctuation, for everyone present, this signal was too obvious.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Gu Xiguang showed closeness to Dongling High-Tech, and Li Dongling also immediately changed his words and said, "I dare not accept it. Senior Brother Gu and all the seniors of Hanxi Jiaoda are the ones we should learn from!"

Gu Xiguang waved his hand, "It's a shame to say that we haven't had time to return to Hanxi Jiaoda a few times since we graduated."

"On the contrary, Junior Brother, how long has Dongling High-Tech been established, and how much funding have you donated to your alma mater? Especially the Qilin Award and the He Zun Award. You don't know, when the old principal heard that these two awards were established, he drank a few more cups in the evening. Since the old principal retired, we haven't seen him so happy!"

"When you have time, go to Yanjing and let the old principal and the seniors who graduated from Hanxi meet the rising stars of Hanxi Jiaoda!"

Gu Xiguang said to Li Dongling with a smile. In a few words, he directly dominated the reception scene, leaving He Heng on the side to only dryly announce the praise of the Foreign Exchange Department for Dongling High-Tech becoming an excellent foreign exchange earning enterprise.

Gu Xiguang, He Heng, Li Weimin, and a group of people from the Pingyang Municipal Government came to Dongling High-Tech to inspect and visit. On the side, there were media reporters who came with Yanjing, plus reporters from Hanxi and Pingyang, who were constantly taking pictures on the side.

After the inspection, these will all be on large media newspapers such as Yanjing, Hanxi, and even Economic Daily and Industrial and Commercial Daily. Perhaps most of the public doesn't care much about this kind of report, which is generally official language and can't see anything.

But since this kind of thing exists, it has its meaning and reason. The content of these reports is mainly for the domestic industry and commerce, tech industry, financial industry, and various units and departments in various places. After they see the Economic and Trade Commission and the Foreign Exchange Department inspecting Dongling High-Tech with great fanfare, they will understand the meaning of this.

In the future, when Dongling High-Tech deals with companies, units, and departments in various parts of the country, it will naturally be smoother. How is influence reflected? It is accumulated bit by bit. Nanshan Must-Win Customer and Long Gang Invincible Hand did not appear at the beginning; they were all formed day by day.

After inspecting the office building and laboratory of Dongling High-Tech, Gu Xiguang said to everyone on the left and right, "He Heng and I came to Hanxi and will stay for a few more days. We have to inspect many companies. Let's not rush to eat this meal first!"

He Heng also said, "There are many excellent companies in Pingyang and various cities in Hanxi, and the department and the bureau have always attached great importance to them!"

Hearing the words of Gu Xiguang and He Heng, Luo Junwu, Yao Zhengru, and others understood that this was to let them leave first. The things to talk about with Dongling High-Tech next were not convenient for others to intervene. Didn't you see that Li Weimin couldn't even enter the conference room.

"Director Li, what exactly does Yanjing mean?!"

Others dispersed one after another. Li Weimin, Gu Xiguang, and Yao Zhengru came to the lounge next to the conference room.

The person speaking was Luo Junwu. He knew Yao Zhengru's background in the provincial capital of Hanxi, and Yao Zhengru had a good relationship with Li Weimin, so he simply asked directly.

Li Weimin first looked at Yao Zhengru, and then said, "For this matter, your Pingyang should be clearer than my side!"

Luo Junwu was speechless and sighed, sitting on the side again. At this time, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Gu Xiguang and He Heng were right here. Although they let them leave, could he really leave?

In the conference room of Dongling High-Tech, Gu Xiguang and He Heng sat opposite Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, and other executives.

With a laugh, Gu Xiguang took the lead, "Don't be nervous. We came here this time, indeed representing the meaning of the Yanjing department, to inspect excellent Hanxi enterprises including Dongling High-Tech."

"However, there are indeed some things that I want to ask for the opinions of Dongling High-Tech. This does not mean intervening in Dongling High-Tech's operations, just asking as a routine!"

After speaking, Gu Xiguang cast his gaze on He Heng, making He Heng helpless. Gu Xiguang said all the nice words, so he naturally had to be the villain, but He Heng really didn't want to be this villain. If he was not careful, he would be held accountable.

"Just like what Director Gu just said, we came here this time just to ask for the opinions of Dongling High-Tech!"

He Heng could only say, "The Foreign Exchange Department has received Dongling High-Tech's application for using foreign exchange quotas. The Foreign Exchange Department has no intention of intervening in Dongling High-Tech's use of foreign exchange."

"But this foreign exchange quota is really too large. We noticed that the foreign exchange used by Dongling High-Tech in the mainland this time, including the foreign exchange used by the Dongling High-Tech Hong Kong company established in Hong Kong, added up to nearly 180 million US dollars!"

"Previously, there has never been a record of using such a large foreign exchange quota in a single transaction in the country!"

"Dongling High-Tech wants to acquire the Falan Braunge electrical shopping mall, and 30 small electrical retail stores!" Ren Yuefeng said straight to the point.

"Acquire a foreign company?!"

Gu Xiguang and He Heng were stunned when they heard this, and then He Heng couldn't help but ask one more question. In recent years, the country has imported many foreign products and components, but they heard about acquiring foreign companies for the first time, making both of them somewhat unable to decide for a while.

"Dongling High-Tech wants to establish its own overseas sales channels. This is also the first step for domestic electrical appliances to go abroad!"

Li Dongling spoke at this time, "Director Gu and Director He should have heard some rumors about the encounter of Shenzhou digital cordless phones in Europe?!"

Gu Xiguang and He Heng nodded. The matter of Shenzhou phones in Europe was almost blown to the sky by domestic media. How could they not have heard of it.

"Dongling High-Tech establishing overseas sales channels is not only for Dongling High-Tech, but also for the domestic electrical appliance industry. If we cannot go to sea, domestic electrical appliance brands like Haier, Changhong, TCL, and Hisense will only be able to stay in the country forever, and under the attack of foreign electrical appliance brands, they will be passively defending!"

"If Dongling High-Tech's overseas sales channels can be successfully established, then domestic brand electrical appliances can also appear in retail shopping malls in Falanxi, Italy, Germany, Japan, and even America through Dongling High-Tech's overseas sales channels!"

"Maybe one day, advertisements for mainland brands will appear on the Ginza in Japan, Times Square in America, and the Champs-Élysées in Falanxi. Who can say for sure?!"

Finally, Li Dongling said to Gu Xiguang and He Heng with a smile. The two were really stunned this time. Li Dongling dared to say it, but they didn't even dare to think about it. If it really reached the last sentence Li Dongling said, it almost marked that mainland domestic electrical appliances had defeated opponents like Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba, Siemens, Philips, General Electric, etc., and swept the global electrical appliance industry...

After finally collecting his thoughts, He Heng gave a bitter smile and said to Li Dongling, "The risk is still too great. This is nearly 200 million US dollars. Should we take smaller steps first, and then increase investment after standing firm? I don't mean to question Li Zong, just a suggestion!"

"Opportunities are not to be missed, and they will not come again. Dongling High-Tech's first stop in Europe must be successful!"

Li Dongling also said. He Heng frowned, while Gu Xiguang remained silent. The atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while.

"I know what Director He is worried about, but for the first step, someone has to take it, right? If Dongling High-Tech fails, it can be considered a lesson for later generations!"

"But if it fails, this lesson will be too expensive. That's 200 million US dollars!" He Heng said, feeling like he was gasping for air.

"There are many projects that earn foreign exchange. Dongling High-Tech establishing overseas sales channels is also to increase overseas revenue. In addition, Dongling High-Tech has a new project, and I hope Director Gu and Director He can take a look!"

Li Dongling looked at Ren Yuefeng, who placed two copies of the Torch Group lighter cluster industrial plan in front of the two.

Gu Xiguang and He Heng looked at each other and opened the plan with doubt.
