What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
However, Wujiang Company sold typewriters all over the world because the typewriters could also be used as English typewriters, and there was a global market for them.
Although the Imagine typewriter is sold cheaper abroad than in China, giving a bad impression, they are actually making a lot of money. The advantage of the Imagine typewriter is that it can type Chinese, but Chinese is not used at all abroad, so the Imagine typewriter's biggest advantage is lost, and naturally it cannot be sold at a high price.
In order to open up the market, Imagine typewriters had to be priced lower overseas than in China to remain competitive.
At that time, the country was short of foreign exchange. As long as it could earn foreign exchange, the country was eager for the Imagine typewriter to be sold abroad with small profits but large volume.
In addition, typewriters are targeted at companies, government agencies, or institutions, who are all wealthy. The fact that Wujiang Company sells them at a slightly higher price in China does not cause any loss to the general public.
Digital pagers from companies like Wujiang are more expensive overseas than in China.
Wujiang Company is a company with dreams.
The realization of Wujiang's technological dream requires a lot of funding, so sometimes, as the founder of Wujiang, Zhao Ye looks like a big capitalist.
Currently, Wujiang Company has RMB 1.78 billion in working capital.
For Wujiang Company, acquiring Lujiazui and quickly building a factory was a very easy task.
Shanghai will begin developing Pudong in 1990. At that time, Lujiazui, with its advantageous geographical location, will become the focus of the city's development.
Therefore, building a factory in Lujiazui would only be a temporary measure. The factory buildings would be constructed according to the standard steel structure factory buildings, and only one-story factory buildings would be built.
Steel structures have advantages such as light weight, high strength, and fast construction speed, which can save labor and material costs and have a relatively short construction time.
If the factory building is only one floor, then the construction will be simpler and faster.
If the work involves working overtime, a single-story steel-structured factory building covering 5,000 square meters can be constructed in less than three months. If things go smoothly, it might be completed in one or two months.
Of course, building a factory that is only one story high is a huge waste of land.
But isn't this just a case of "the old drunkard's heart is not in the wine, but in a disguised form of land hoarding"?
Hire multiple construction teams to start work simultaneously, building a large number of such factories. Between the factories, build roads, lawns, gardens, basketball courts, badminton courts, employee dormitories, canteens, warehouses, etc. The 310,000 square meters of land will be used up in no time. In this way, the municipal government will not accuse Wujiang Company of deliberately hoarding land.
When Pudong was being developed, Zhao Ye had already planned it out. He would take the initiative to tell the government that he wanted to move Wujiang Factory out, and that the original site could be used to build high-rise buildings. He would also offer a piece of land in exchange for the government building Shanghai's landmark building - the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower on that land!
