Chapter 366: Looking Forward with Eager Expectation

"If Torch Group's shipment volume can reach the target, and the advertising business can be done, then perhaps Torch Group's advertising department can become one of the largest advertising platforms in the country!"

Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru, Wu Yaoguo, and Zhang Xiaocheng with a smile. Although Li Dongling's words were a bit joking, they were not completely joking.

Think about it, in the future, Torch Group's lighter shipment volume can reach 100 million or even 1 billion level. How large will the lighter advertising platform be?

It is hard to say how much effect it has, but it sounds indeed a bit scary. A 1 billion-level advertising platform is enough to make Torch one of the largest advertising platforms in the country!

Yao Zhengru said directly at this time, "The municipal government will coordinate the Pingyang Cigarette Factory to reach cooperation with Torch Group, making Pingyang Cigarette Factory and Torch Group a model for lighter advertising!"

If looking for other cigarette factories, it might be hard to say, but Pingyang has its own cigarette factory locally. Letting Pingyang Cigarette Factory and Torch Group cooperate is no problem at all.

Now Dongling High-Tech has become the largest tax-paying household in Pingyang. In his previous life, this position was occupied by Pingyang Cigarette Factory. In the ten years before, more than 20% of Pingyang's taxes were contributed by Pingyang Cigarette Factory. In the early 2000s, Pingyang Cigarette Factory with more than 2,000 staff members paid more than 1.2 billion in taxes annually!

At that time, Pingyang's housing price was 500 or 600 yuan, and the wages of Pingyang Cigarette Factory's staff exceeded 2,000 or 3,000 yuan. But now this position is occupied by Dongling High-Tech. Dongling High-Tech's Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Xiaolingtong, Shenzhou U-disks, etc., have profit margins not much worse than cigarette factories, and the jobs and taxes provided are even more!

If Pingyang Cigarette Factory and Torch Group cooperate, it can indeed attract traffic for Pingyang Cigarette Factory and increase sales. Then cooperation between other cigarette factories and Torch Group is not a problem at all.

Zhang Xiaocheng is a person who acts vigorously. After determining the next plan for Torch Group, he returned to Torch Group again. During this period, he basically lived and ate in Torch Group.

Li Dongling, Yao Zhengru, and Wu Yaoguo were still drinking tea in the pavilion, and Li Dongling also told them about what he saw and heard in Yanjing.

"Did Dongling High-Tech really undertake Fang Zheng Group's listing financing equity and become Fang Zheng's third-largest shareholder?"

When Wu Yaoguo asked about the news reported by the media some time ago that Dongling High-Tech became the third-largest shareholder of Fang Zheng Group, his words still carried a bit of surprise.

For Fang Zheng's great name, Yao Zhengru and Wu Yaoguo both know it well. Fang Zheng's current forced style is really too high.

Dongling High-Tech actually became the third-largest shareholder of Fang Zheng Group, which is not only a shock to Dongling High-Tech, but also a shock to Pingyang and even Hanxi. The local ground snake in Hanxi and becoming a shareholder of a domestic technology giant company like Fang Zheng feel completely different.

Li Dongling saw the expressions of the two and shook his head with a smile. "Whether this investment is a profit or a loss is not certain.

Dongling High-Tech is willing to undertake the shares issued by Fang Zheng, mainly for cooperation with Fang Zheng computers.

In the future, as long as Shenzhou Storage, Dongxin Semiconductor, and Dongfang Optoelectronics can develop qualified hard disks, computer chips, and computer screens, Fang Zheng Group is willing to give priority to procurement!"

"Of course, if Fang Zheng computers expand production capacity in the future, perhaps they can build a new Fang Zheng computer production base in Hanxi!"

Hearing this, Yao Zhengru's eyes suddenly lit up. The headquarters of Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and even Shenzhou Storage are all located in Xiyuan, the provincial capital of Hanxi. After all, these companies have very large needs for resources and talents, and the provincial capital's geographical location and talent attraction are still a few points stronger than Pingyang.

Of course, it also has to do with the provincial government office, the Investment Promotion Bureau, the Industrial Department, and other parts. Dongling High-Tech's headquarters is in Pingyang, and it is not easy to dig directly in the provincial capital. Otherwise, the influence is not very good. If you see that the younger brother has good things and snatch them, how can you lead a group of younger brothers in the future?

However, for companies under Dongling High-Tech, the provincial capital is not soft at all. It gave a large amount of resources and capital support, and also approved a large piece of land, just to keep Shenzhou Storage, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and Dongxin Semiconductor in the provincial capital.

What Yao Zhengru cares about is whether, if Fang Zheng computers expand production scale, they can build a production base in Pingyang. Can it be built in Pingyang?

A brand like Fang Zheng, if it can build a factory in Pingyang, for Pingyang, taxes and jobs are one aspect, and the other is to increase popularity and attract more brands and companies to come.

For Pingyang, it is far from the point of being picky now. Pingyang looks like it is in full swing now, but the foundation is too thin, and the roots are too shallow. A single tree cannot make a forest. It definitely needs more companies to come to Pingyang to support Pingyang.

Compared to Yao Zhengru, who cares more about whether Fang Zheng can be pulled to Pingyang, Wu Yaoguo, who is the head of Hanxi State Investment, is much more interested in Dongxin Semiconductor, Shenzhou Storage, and Dongfang Optoelectronics, especially now that they may become suppliers for Fang Zheng computers.

"Li, I don't know when Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies will start financing. Hanxi State Investment is also willing to make a meager contribution to the technology industry!" Wu Yaoguo said to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling looked at Wu Yaoguo with a strange look, but saw that he was full of expectation, and seemed quite expectant about investing in Shenzhou Storage, Dongxin Semiconductor, and Dongfang Optoelectronics.

In his previous life, lithography machines, chips, and panels were the three major pits in the electronic technology industry. Many companies were detouring. Not to mention investment, they were disgusted even at a glance.

Dongling High-Tech really has no way. In order to avoid the encounter of the chrysanthemum factory, it can only learn the routine of the chrysanthemum factory cultivating HiSilicon chips. After being targeted, it can also have a backhand to fight back, so Dongling High-Tech established Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage to serve as a back road.

But, Wu Yaoguo actually treated these companies as cash cows, and seemed to have a lot of obsession with investing in Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies. It's just that I don't know if Wu Yaoguo can still laugh after really falling into the pit.

However, Wu Yaoguo can become the head of Hanxi State Investment, leading Hanxi State Investment to become the largest investment company in the province, and also has quite a bit of fame outside the province. His ability definitely won't be bad.

Wu Yaoguo has always wanted to invest in Dongling High-Tech, but he can't find a chance. For other companies, Hanxi State Investment might have invested directly. But facing Dongling High-Tech, which can earn a lot of foreign exchange, a host of departments in Yanjing such as Pingyang Municipal Government, Hanxi Provincial Government, Ministry of Commerce, and Foreign Exchange Department are staring at it, and Hanxi State Investment dare not mess around.

It is not easy to invest directly in Dongling High-Tech, so Wu Yaoguo thought of saving the country by a curve, starting from investing in companies under Dongling High-Tech, and slowly starting to bind with Dongling High-Tech!

And from Wu Yaoguo's vision, Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies are not pits at all, they are clearly money-printing machines!

Like Dongxin Semiconductor, it provides chips for products such as Shenzhou phones, Xiaolingtong mobile phones, Feiyan mobile phones, etc. The Sirius chip developed is the first domestic landline phone chip, breaking the monopoly of foreign phone chips in the country!

Now, major domestic landline phone manufacturers basically use various improved models of Sirius landline phone chips. In this line, because the mainland has become the world's largest landline phone producer, Dongxin Semiconductor has also taken advantage of the trend to surpass Toshiba and become the world's largest landline phone chip supplier!

In the case that Wu Yaoguo doesn't know that Dongxin Semiconductor is still spending a lot of money to develop lithography machines, now no matter how you look at it, Dongxin Semiconductor is a cash cow.

As for Dongfang Optoelectronics and Shenzhou Storage, there is no need to mention them. The appearance looks equally bright and beautiful.

Dongfang Optoelectronics is the screen supplier for Xiaolingtong mobile phones. Now it is the largest STN panel supplier in the country. When Dongfang Optoelectronics doesn't announce that it is dead-locking TFT LCD panels, who looks at Dongfang Optoelectronics and doesn't get confused, and doesn't treat it as a treasure bowl?

Shenzhou Storage is also the same. U-disks are selling wildly, and it has even formed a global U-disk alliance of the top five manufacturers, mastering the standards and pricing power of U-disks. Which investment company wouldn't be greedy when looking at such a company?!

But if they knew that Shenzhou Storage is forming an R&D team, spending money to bet on solid-state hard drive projects that companies like IBM, Toshiba, and Samsung haven't figured out yet, then it is estimated that most investment companies would retreat.

Now Wu Yaoguo is equivalent to seeing the brightest and most beautiful side of Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage. Naturally, he is moved and wants to enter the pit early, fearing that he will be preempted by others and snatch the investment opportunity.

"Don't worry, Wu. If Dongxin Semiconductor, Shenzhou Storage, and other companies need financing, the first one they look for will definitely be Hanxi State Investment. I believe this day probably won't be long!" Li Dongling said.

Lithography machines, solid-state hard drives, and TFT LCD panels are all very money-burning industries. Although Li Dongling has found quite a few businesses such as landline phone chips, mini radio panels, U-disks, STN mobile phone panels, etc., for Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies, letting them use these businesses to make money.

Plus there are subsidies from Dongling High-Tech headquarters to maintain the operation of several companies.

But later, Dongxin Semiconductor, Shenzhou Storage, and Dongfang Optoelectronics will burn money more and more fiercely. Since Wu Yaoguo wants to invest, let Hanxi State Investment and other institutions enter the market to provide funds for Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies.

As for whether they will regret it after entering the market, that is not something Li Dongling needs to worry about. After all, where in the world is there something that only eats meat and doesn't get beaten?

"When I was in Yanjing, I let Dongfang Era Mall reach an agreement with companies such as Kingsoft, Fang Zheng, and New Oriental Education, preparing to introduce New Oriental Education and IT Training Center into Pingyang's Dongfang Era Mall!"

Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru, and then his gaze looked at Wu Yaoguo. "If Hanxi State Investment is interested, it can also enter the market to invest, but whether it is a profit or a loss, it is hard to say!"

Wu Yaoguo laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said, "Li, you are joking. If I don't even invest in the project you proposed, I can't think of who else I can invest money in.

For the Dongfang Era Mall project, no matter how much money, Hanxi State Investment will follow!"
