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...
After seeing off the four members of Jiahe, Zhao Ye went to Hong Kong Wujiang Company to inspect the branch office.
Hong Kong Wujiang Company is not small, with more than 400 employees. Many of its distributors in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea import their goods directly from Hong Kong.
At this time, the employees of the Hong Kong branch learned that Zhao Ye was coming to inspect the company. They were all very excited. Starting yesterday, they cleaned the company thoroughly, and the company looked brand new.
Around noon, Zhao Ye and his group arrived at the branch office.
Zhou Anping led Zhao Ye on a tour of the branch office, introducing the main person in charge of each department.
Zhao Ye listened very carefully. Every time Zhou Anping introduced someone, Zhao Ye would ask that person to report on their work.
Through these people's reports, Zhao Ye gained a clearer understanding of the Hong Kong branch.
Afterwards, Zhao Ye asked Zhou Anping to call the employees present to the lobby, and then gave an encouraging speech, showcasing his amiable and approachable personality.
After giving everyone a bowl of chicken soup, Zhao Ye, Zhou Anping, and the others went to the office to rest.
"Manager Zhou, the Hong Kong branch is doing quite well. Do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Ye asked Zhou Anping while sipping his tea.
Zhou Anping thought for a moment and suggested, "Boss, Hong Kong is the world's most open free port with great development potential. Many of the products our company manufactures are transshipped through Hong Kong. So I think that in order to reduce transportation costs, it would be better to build a factory directly in Shenzhen, which is right across from Hong Kong. Originally, Hong Kong was the most suitable place to build a factory, but in recent years, Hong Kong's real estate development has been rapid and land prices have soared, leading to increased factory costs. Many Hong Kong businessmen have already moved their factories to Shenzhen."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded and said, "I've also considered what you're saying. We should definitely build a factory in Shenzhen."
After saying this, Zhao Ye suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had been taking advantage of Zhang Fulin, the Party Secretary of Haiding District, constantly acquiring land in Zhongguancun under various pretexts. If Secretary Zhang knew that he planned to build a factory in Shenzhen, and a much larger one at that, he would probably be crying in the bathroom.
The wafer fab wasn't located in the capital, but in Shanghai. Secretary Zhang couldn't do anything about it, since Shanghai was more suitable, which was understandable.
But Shenzhen... seems to have its advantages too~
Is our great capital really that lacking in prestige and appeal?
One by one, the factories were moved to other cities?
