Chapter 432

"Communication equipment? Mr. Li, are you talking about telephones? I have done market research before, and compared with radios and televisions, it doesn't seem to have any advantages..."

After Pei Wencong heard Li Ye's suggestion, he was obviously a bit surprised, because since Li Ye asked him to prepare to start an electronics factory more than a year ago, he had been studying which product to start with, but he never thought about communication equipment.

Instead, radios and televisions not only had very good market prospects but also had very high feasibility.

In 1981, Pengcheng introduced the first joint-venture electronics factory, and then successively had many electronics factories, a large part of which started from producing radios.

Don't underestimate this radio the size of half a brick; in fact, in many places in the mainland at this time, it was still one of the important household appliances.

The economic situation in the mainland in the early 1980s was not yet wealthy enough for every family to have a television! Especially in some inland provinces, even a flashlight was considered a household appliance.

A Walkman would only become a standard learning tool for students at least ten years later. At this time, those children who had just entered high school or university might have their family members buy them a radio.

In short, the market for radios in the mainland was very large, and there was no worry about selling them.

But Pei Wencong was now rich and powerful, and he didn't look down on small gadgets like radios. After starting an electronics factory in Hong Kong and verifying the technical feasibility, he thought about entering the color television market in the mainland.

Compared with radios, televisions were definitely a hot product in the 1980s.

Don't look at the fact that decades later, the power-on rate of televisions has fallen below 30%, forcing some people to shout grievances in the Great Hall of the People, but in the 1980s, televisions were not a seller's market, because you didn't need to sell them yourself. As long as you had goods, there were plenty of people lining up with money to pick up the goods.

And at this time, the television production lines in the mainland were all imported foreign production lines, or directly imported foreign parts for self-assembly.

For example, the Huizhou Radio No. 2 Factory took the lead in importing Sharp's black-and-white television parts, and after assembly, created the "Huangshan Brand," which became the memory of countless people.

As for Peony, Venus, Hitachi, etc., they all imported overseas production lines and were popular in the mainland market for a while.

So Pei Wencong felt that if others could do it, there was no reason he couldn't?

If world-class ones couldn't be imported, wouldn't second-rate ones work?

The electronics factory in Hong Kong had been prepared for a long time, the land in Pengcheng had been bought, and he had discussed it with Li Ye several times in advance. It could be said that everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.

But today, why did Li Ye want to engage in communication equipment again?

Now, not one in a hundred families in the mainland had a telephone installed. The demand for that thing was several orders of magnitude smaller than that for televisions.

And selling telephones required dealing with the telecommunications departments in the mainland. You couldn't expect people to bring money to your door and beg you, right?

However, Li Ye smiled and said: "I didn't say we wouldn't produce televisions! But the competition for televisions will be very fierce in the future. It would be good if a few out of dozens of factories across the country could survive.

So we should still occupy the first-mover advantage in some high-profit industries as early as possible. Old Pei, believe me, communication equipment has great potential in the mainland, and it also has great potential overseas."

"Of course I believe Mr. Li. Then we will engage in telecommunication equipment. I will organize a professional team as soon as possible to come up with a development plan for Mr. Li to review. Then, Mr. Li, should we start with bp machines? Or research mobile phones directly?"

When Pei Wencong heard Li Ye say "great potential," Pei Wencong agreed without even thinking.

Could he not believe Li Ye?

Not to mention the various "divine predictions" in the past, just in mid-September, Li Ye asked Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo to control the Hong Kong stock index. After the joint declaration was initialed in late September, the Hong Kong stock index skyrocketed by 60% in less than three months.

Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo originally thought they were people who had "seen big money," but they were still scared by this speed of printing money, unable to sleep all night.

This thing makes money fast, but it also loses money fast!

But facts proved that the quality of Li Ye as a professional student of the Jingda Economics Department was not blown. Even if the Hong Kong stock market was too small to toss endlessly, even if the settlement was not fully completed now, it was estimated that the profit margin of this wave would not be less than ten times.

Ten times! This is ten times the principal of hundreds of millions of US dollars. If it were really publicized, let alone in Hong Kong, the entire Asian tycoon circle would have to spread the name of his Pei Wencong.

At that time, Pei Wencong would have three or four hundred million in wealth, Li Ye's assets would break through ten digits, and even Luo Runbo, who had the smallest capital, would very likely become a billionaire.

So Li Ye now, in Pei Wencong's eyes, is the God of Wealth who speaks and follows, and turns stones into gold.

Let's put it this way! Now if Li Ye points to a dog poop on the road and says that thing has "great potential," Pei Wencong will immediately hire people to buy all the dogs in the city, serve them with good food and drink, and let them poop specifically.

"bp machines can be done, but mobile phones will have more prospects in the future. Besides, communication equipment is not just bp machines and mobile phones; personal PCs, switches, signal equipment...

We need to start laying out in advance now. When the day the market demand explodes comes, it will be the time for us to step onto the stage."

"."

Although Pei Wencong believed in Li Ye completely, he still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Pei Wencong paid more attention to the development of the mainland and knew that Shanghai had its first paging station in 1983, but since Li Ye said he wanted to do something with high profits, he just brought up mobile phones with higher profits.

But the difficulty of producing mobile phones was not ordinary. Li Ye actually wanted to produce personal computers (computers)?

Is that something an ordinary company can produce? Do you know what parts are in mobile phones and computers?

Pei Wencong doubted very much whether it was possible to hand-rub a mobile phone or a computer with the current industrial foundation of the mainland.

Even if China creates a miracle and really rubs out a mobile phone and a personal computer, people who can afford mobile phones and computers these days are unlikely to consider "cost-effectiveness," but pay more attention to brand and quality.

If you want to say that the mainland can now make mobile phones and computers of the same quality as several international large companies...

If this wasn't said by Li Ye, Pei Wencong would have thought the other party was daydreaming.

But things ordered by the boss must be treated seriously.

Pei Wencong straightened his attitude and said down-to-earth: "I know a little bit about switches. There are manufacturers in Hong Kong. I will notify the company today and let them go to talk about the production patent..."

"As for bp machines and mobile phones, I will also contact the corresponding manufacturers as soon as possible and strive to obtain the qualification for authorized production."

But Li Ye shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, Old Pei. I mean self-research, researching our own technology and products completely."

Pei Wencong was stunned for several seconds before asking: "We research it ourselves? Who to find to research? Does the mainland have professional talents who research mobile phones and personal PCs?"

It can't be blamed on Pei Wencong for doubting. In his view, the mainland might have some foundation in machinery, but in high-end electronic products, the mainland is not just a little bit behind.

And people like Pei Wencong are already Hong Kong businessmen who are very optimistic about the industrial potential of the mainland. If it were someone else, they would only think the mainland is more backward.

But many people don't know that in fact, the mainland is by no means useless in the electronic field.

Li Ye looked up at his watch, stood up and said: "Let's go! Today we will try our luck and see if we can meet a top researcher."

"Ah?"

Pei Wencong was finally confused. Can people who can research mobile phones and personal PCs also be met by luck?

Li Ye and Pei Wencong first drove around the streets of Zhongguancun a few times, didn't find the target, and had to turn around and arrive at the street basketball court where they played with Hao Jian and others last time.

Although it is winter now, those boys who have nothing to do after work are still running around on the rough court, spilling the hormones and energy that have nowhere to release because of the monotonous entertainment life.

"Hi, look, a foreign girl."

Just as Li Ye and Pei Wencong walked to the front, a group of boys playing ball discovered them, but they didn't recognize Li Ye who bought them a box of Pengcheng Hongniu last time, but were all hooked by Pei Wencong's secretary, Veronica.

Since Pei Wencong hired Veronica as his secretary, he has experienced some invisible conveniences,

So when coming to the mainland, Pei Wencong basically brings Veronica with him, preventing theft, robbery, and extortion, which is really very easy to use.

Of course, Veronica is blonde, blue-eyed, and 1.8 meters tall, which is eye-catching wherever she goes, and easily attracts the hot eyes of young guys, which is another matter.

"Hehehe~"

Li Ye waved at several young men, attracting the other party's attention.

"Brothers, just look twice, it makes people feel embarrassed, it shows we are not polite."

"Hey, I said who are you, you this... eh, isn't this the brother who invited us to drink Pengcheng Hongniu? I really didn't recognize you, hey."

Several young men looked at Li Ye unhappily, but immediately recognized Li Ye.

"Brother, are you here to play ball? Why are there only three people this time? You won't even let this female comrade play, right? Looking at the height, it's quite high."

"Don't talk nonsense. Look at this brother's outfit, is he here to play ball? Look at that girl's high heels, can she play ball?"

"It's really true, brother, your trench coat is really good. If you didn't say it, we would have thought it was from the Little Japan side!"

Li Ye pretended to be unhappy and said: "What kind of eyes do you all have? Does Little Japan have someone as big as me?"

"Hahahahaha~"

Li Ye is 1.8 meters tall, which is definitely considered a tall person in this era, so he can really brag a bit.

"Alright, I'm looking for you brothers today because I want to ask about a few people. Those people who sold roller skates on the street in front a while ago, do you know where they are?"

The young man playing ball looked at Li Ye and said: "What's wrong, brother? Did you buy fake roller skates? Then you have to admit you are unlucky. They don't do that business anymore. I heard they lost their pants by flipping color TVs, and they have no money to compensate you..."

"Lost their pants by flipping color TVs? That was a few months ago, right!"

Li Ye carefully recalled the memory in his mind and determined that Liu Lianxiang should have been cheated of 140,000 yuan by the fake news of color TV approval a few months ago, but later he really got a batch of color TVs and recovered.

Then at the end of this year, they realized that flipping and reselling had no future, and finally invited a technical god—Ni Guangnan, and pulled him to become the 12th employee of Lenovo.

Ni Guangnan's technology and morality are beyond doubt, and he is a figure that anyone who knows the historical process wants to make friends with.

But when Li Ye came to this world, Ni Guangnan had already gone to Maple Leaf Country. After returning last year, he received his own research group again. It was not so easy for Li Ye to get involved with him.

Don't think that a transmigrator is awesome, waving his hand to recruit all kinds of gods. Since they are gods, how can they be recruited by a little kid like you so easily?

Li Ye felt that it would be good to make friends with them first.

And this friendship is not something that can be realized casually. Liu Lianxiang was cheated of more than 100,000 yuan before, and you go over now and say "Come, brother will take you to fly?"

They will kick you!

That's why Li Ye kept asking Pei Wencong to prepare, and waited until now.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. This east wind is invisible and the most difficult to grasp.
