Chapter 3293 Three Advantages of Building a Factory on the Japanese Island
Just as Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Li Hongfeng, Lao Hong, and Xu Yuanshan quickly came over.
Yang Xiaotao drove, and the three of them got in and headed towards the West Garden.
On the way, Li Hongfeng and Lao Hong learned about the meeting. They were quite surprised by the other party's proposal to build a factory on the Japanese island.
But what surprised people even more was Yang Xiaotao's decision.
If you disagree, refuse on the spot.
Given the current situation, I guess they'll have to agree.
"Xiao Tao, what are you really thinking?"
In the back row, Li Hongfeng finally spoke up and asked a question. Old Hong and Xu Yuanshan had the same thought.
"We need to reach a consensus before we report to the leader this time."
Hearing Li Hongfeng say this, Yang Xiaotao simply shared his own thoughts.
"I agree with building a factory in Japan."
"why?"
Old Hong asked the question.
Yang Xiaotao, focused on driving, said without turning his head, "Consider three aspects."
"First, ease the current situation."
"The panda incident strained our relationship with the United States, which is detrimental to our future development."
"At the very least, we can't offend both sides when it comes to the alliance, nor can we get too close."
“You know this better than I do.”
The group remained silent.
They don't think they're strong enough to take on both sides single-handedly.
However, they no longer need to rely on the alliance to survive as they did before.
Today, they are rising and becoming an important force in the world.
"Secondly, there are many advantages to building a factory on the Japanese islands."
"They signed an agreement with the United States that allowed products from the United States to enter Japan without tariffs, and similarly, products manufactured in Japan could enter the United States. Computers produced in this way could bypass the United States' restrictions and be sold in the United States and related countries."
"You know, many countries in the world follow the lead of the United States, and that market is huge."
"This will not only increase our profits, but also enhance our influence."
The group fell silent again, something they hadn't expected.
However, they quickly realized that Great Wall Motors was a precedent, and its sales were booming overseas, especially in Europe, with its French distributors even opening stores in the United States.
Nowadays, selling cars can earn just as much money as selling medicine.
Xu Yuanshan then asked, "What if the Japanese islands absorb the technology and then leave us behind?"
"Isn't this just benefiting them?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "No way."
"What?"
In response to Xu Yuanshan's question, Lao Hong said from the side, "Because we won't sell them our core technology."
Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile, "Of course, the most crucial part of a computer is the processor. As long as we don't hand it over, the factory on the Japanese island will just be an 'assembly workshop,' and we can make money by selling processors."
"Of course, they will also share half of the profits from their production and sales with us."
"We'll have the foreign trade people handle the negotiations then."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was saying this, the others knew that the matter was almost certainly true.
After all, among our nine departments, only Yang Xiaotao truly lives up to his word.
Especially in this kind of 'strategic layout', even Mr. Chen had to consult Yang Xiaotao's opinion.
After all, most of the ten golden plans that Yang Xiaotao formulated back then have already yielded results.
Moreover, these results are simply exceptionally good.
Having followed Yang Xiaotao all this way, they naturally understood his capabilities.
Now that he has made this decision, all they need to do is continue to follow Yang Xiaotao and give him their greatest support.
"Isn't there a third one?"
Li Hongfeng suddenly spoke up, and Lao Hong and Xu Yuanshan also remembered this matter and quickly looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said quietly, "A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."
"What I'm thinking about now is how to proceed with the 'Sunshine' series."
"The computer research institute should also propose new research topics."
"And the research on new computers is inseparable from lithography machines."
"Lithography machine?"
All three of them were completely baffled, even Old Hong, who often visited the research institute, frowned at the term.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to explain again.
As they approached the West Garden, the three finally understood what the lithography machine Yang Xiaotao had been talking about was.
Then they all gasped.
This guy is already planning for things three, five, or even ten years from now?
Is this guy even 35 years old?
Is there a monster inside this body?
Of course, if Yang Xiaotao knew what the three of them were thinking, he would definitely say, "You guessed it perfectly."
The information gap between transmigrators and the system's cheat codes—aren't they just monsters?
The car stopped, and the four people got out one after another.
Yu Zecheng and Chen Mingli got out of the car behind them.
Several cars were parked at the entrance, which must have belonged to Old Chen and his group.
Yang Xiaotao didn't rush in but waited for Yu Zecheng to approach before saying, "Make sure to keep a close eye on the two people next to Dawson."
"Also, don't let anyone know about the helicopter."
Yu Zecheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and nodded solemnly, "I also think those two people are inappropriate."
"Be careful, these guys are no good."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he led his men into the West Garden.
Upon learning that Yang Xiaotao was coming, Qing Lao specially postponed the meeting he had arranged.
After Yang Xiaotao entered, Tang Mingyue led him directly to the prepared conference room.
Inside the house, Uncle, Old Chen, and Li Rong had arrived earlier and gathered around a round table.
After Yang Xiaotao came in, he hurriedly greeted the others and finally sat down between Old Chen and Li Rong.
Old Chen nodded. "Secretary Guo told you everything when he got back. It seems you're thinking about this?"
My uncle also looked over. It was clear that the purpose of this meeting was not to discuss whether or not to build the factory, but rather how to build it.
How to ensure maximum benefit.
These interests are not just about visible monetary wealth, but also about political maneuvering.
Yang Xiaotao had considered all aspects when he asked them to come over.
This made them very happy.
Yes, we are planning to do that.
Yang Xiaotao made no attempt to hide his thoughts; he came here to lay his cards on the table.
When it comes to international issues, Yang Xiaotao has always been very clear about his own position.
He himself is just a fish in the long river of history; what he sees may not be the whole picture, and what others see may not be any worse than what he sees.
Especially the 'top groups' of this era, they are definitely the protagonists of this time and space.
Compared to myself, a small fish swimming upstream, I seek the process with the outcome in mind.
They are the helmsmen who can find the best direction from the ripples in the water, navigating this large ship to farther places.
Moreover, he has stirred up quite a wave of history now, and what might happen in the future may not actually happen. Li Rong held her teacup in both hands, and as she listened to Yang Xiaotao's words, her face not only failed to smile but also showed more wrinkles.
"Xiao Yang, have you thought it through?"
“This matter is different from that of the Great Wall Group.”
“Our partners are Americans, and they’re even building factories on the Japanese islands.”
You need to think carefully about the pros and cons.
Li Rong did not choose to support Japan in order to earn more foreign exchange; on the contrary, she never liked Japan, even though she had done several business deals with Japan.
The eldest uncle nodded in agreement, "This is indeed the first time, and it's even more special than what happened in Persia."
After speaking, he looked at Old Chen.
After all, this person is the direct superior of the Ninth Department.
Old Chen stopped talking after asking the question and kept drinking water from his cup.
From this attitude, the uncle immediately understood what the other party was thinking.
Silence is tantamount to acquiescence.
Then he and Li Rong exchanged a glance, both of them speechless.
How did these two end up together?
At this moment, Li Hongfeng, Secretary Guo, and others sat down around the room, waiting for the meeting to begin.
However, the three of them already had a plan after arriving. After sitting down, they faced the questions from those around them with neither servility nor arrogance, appearing calm and composed.
This also made others feel the attitude of the Nine Departments in this matter.
Unconsciously, this reassured everyone.
Just then, Mr. Qing and Mr. Peng walked in from outside, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Don't be shy, sit down, sit down."
Qing Lao waved his hand repeatedly, inviting everyone to sit down. He then sat down at the round table, and President Peng sat down next to him.
His gaze swept over the crowd, lingering on Yang Xiaotao for a moment before he said, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, tell me your thoughts."
Qing Lao spoke directly, and Yang Xiaotao didn't mince words either, saying, "Chief, I personally think this is feasible."
"And there are two advantages to doing this."
When Yang Xiaotao said this, Li Hongfeng, Xu Yuanshan, and the other two exchanged glances again, clearly indicating that Yang Xiaotao did not intend to mention the third benefit.
However, this matter should not be publicized.
Just secretly set up a research institute in the Ninth Department, and bring it out when it's ready. That's the style of the Ninth Department.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Old Qing leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed, while General Peng crossed his arms and showed interest.
He was here with Qinglao today to discuss work, focusing on naval development.
With the financial support of the Ninth Ministry, not only was the production of the Han Wudi ship accelerated, but the construction of other fleets also sped up.
According to the construction plan, it could be launched as early as this year.
In addition, the Panda carrier-based aircraft has been successfully developed and is now undergoing final test flights.
Next year, eight missile cruisers will be able to begin sea trials.
In addition, the construction of nuclear submarines is almost complete.
Overall, next year will be a period of explosive growth for the navy.
This is a major event for the entire Chinese nation.
With this fleet, coupled with air superiority and missile advantages, it will become an important naval defense force.
At that time, the international environment will change as a result.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
There will be more and better ships in the future.
All of this requires financial support.
General Peng reported on his work today in order to gain support from higher authorities and to continue increasing investment in military development.
The thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at Yang Xiaotao with more expectation.
These nine films have made a lot of money this year.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Xiaotao recounted what he had said in the car earlier.
Time passed, and half an hour later, everyone finally finished listening.
Not only did the people at the table fall silent, but the attendees at the back also dared not make a sound.
But Yang Xiaotao's two points really resonated with them.
Qing Lao noticed the expressions on everyone's faces and then asked, "Let's leave the first benefit aside for now."
"The second advantage is that you want to use the political position of Japan to open up the United States market."
"This matter itself is subject to uncertainty."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's right, this is a bit of a subjective assumption, but we can categorize the sales channels."
How to divide it?
When Li Rong asked, Yang Xiaotao looked at her and said, "I haven't decided on the specifics of how to divide it yet."
"However, the idea is that their products should not be allowed into the areas where we are currently selling."
"In other words, they can only sell within the market area we have designated."
"They make as much profit as they sell."
"If we can't sell them, we'll just suffer a loss."
After hearing Yang Xiaotao say that, everyone laughed.
At this moment, the uncle said, "The idea is very good. We can maximize our profits by using the Japanese islands."
"It also shows our goodwill and has a good effect on easing the situation in the surrounding area."
Old Qing nodded in agreement, but his uncle immediately added, "But now it's the merchants from the United States who are contacting us."
"What will the people of Japan think about a businessman from the United States trying to use the land and resources of Japan to negotiate a factory construction partnership?"
"Could there be some filth in this?"
Yang Xiaotao understood his uncle's concerns, so he chuckled and said, "Uncle, we are cooperating with the United States."
"The factory construction on the Japanese islands was simply a matter of US businessmen renting a piece of land there and then giving the Japanese a job opportunity."
"If Japan really has any backbone, then it should talk to the United States. Anyway, we will only provide the technology and core components. The production of other items will be handled by the Japanese company, and the management will be handled by the United States businessmen."
"If something really goes wrong, they'll be the ones who suffer the loss."
Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly, while his uncle shook his head and laughed, "You don't treat the Japanese people like human beings at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Seeing that his uncle had no objections, Old Chen then spoke up, "In principle, I agree to build the factory, but we must be cautious about cooperation, especially with the United States."
"Therefore, we need to come up with a set of rules regarding how to cooperate, who should take the lead, and who should be responsible."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, knowing that Old Chen was giving him a heads-up in advance. Regardless of whether the cooperation could proceed, the responsibilities needed to be clearly defined first.
And that's exactly what Yang Xiaotao wanted.
"In this joint venture, we will only contribute our technology, but we will take half of the profits. Therefore, we need professionals to oversee it and prevent our money from being stolen."
"Therefore, my suggestion is to form a working group with our colleagues in foreign trade. Our Ninth Department will provide technical personnel, and the foreign trade department will provide management personnel."
"I don't know if it will work?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Rong and saw that the other party had a confident look on his face. "No problem, our foreign trade is very willing to cooperate with the Ninth Department."
"That's great."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao reached out his hand, and the two shook hands in front of everyone else.
Old Chen shook his head, thinking that these two guys were too direct.
