Chapter 201 Mainland Suppliers
Just as Lin Zhou was about to answer Liu Yaolong, Liu Yaolong's secretary knocked and entered, holding a business card in his hand, speaking respectfully:
"Chairman, Mr. Liu, there's a boss from an electronics company in Guangdong outside. He said he came specifically to discuss cooperation on the production of Zhonghua game consoles in mainland China. He said they have a mature parts production line and want to become our supplier."
Lin Zhou took the business card, glanced at the name and company on it, thought for a moment, and then said to his secretary, "Let him in. We can talk about this."
The electronics industry is one of the core industries of Zhonghua Group. A key plan for Luohu Industrial Park is to build Zhonghua Electronics' inland production base. Now that a mature component supplier has taken the initiative to approach them, which is in line with the group's development plan, it is certainly worth discussing.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit walked in, holding a product catalog. Upon seeing Lin Zhou, he immediately stepped forward, extended his hand, and spoke enthusiastically:
"Mr. Lin, I've heard so much about you! I'm Zhou Mingyuan from Huada Electronics, a state-owned enterprise in Guangdong Province. I'm currently on a business trip in Beijing, and this morning I saw in the newspaper that Zhonghua is going to build an industrial park in Luohu, preparing to enter the mainland market."
"Our company, Huada, manufactures electronic components and has a good reputation in Guangdong. The quality of our products is absolutely guaranteed. We would like to become your group's component supplier and work together to develop the mainland market."
Lin Zhou shook hands with him, gesturing for him to sit down, and said in a calm tone, "Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. Guangdong has a good foundation in the electronics industry; I've heard of Huada Electronics."
Our Luohu Industrial Park is indeed planning to establish electronics manufacturing operations, and the quality of components is of paramount importance. I'd like to know, Mr. Zhou, what are the specific details regarding production capacity and quality control?
Zhou Mingyuan was prepared and immediately opened the product catalog, pointing to the spare parts and introducing them:
"Mr. Lin, look, these are our core products: capacitors, resistors, and display screen components. They are all manufactured according to Hong Kong standards."
In terms of production capacity, we currently have three production lines. If we cooperate with your group, we can immediately expand by two more to ensure supply.
Moreover, we are located in Yue City, very close to Luohu District, which means lower logistics costs and faster delivery.
Lin Zhou flipped through the product catalog, casually asking a few questions, all about quality control and production standards. Zhou Mingyuan answered fluently, showing that he was a leader who got things done.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Lin Zhou promised that after returning to Hong Kong, he would find someone to connect with Zhou Mingyuan to conduct product testing and capacity assessment. If the products met the standards, a preliminary cooperation agreement could be signed, and orders would be placed with them after the factory in mainland China was delivered.
Zhou Mingyuan was overjoyed and stood up repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Boss Lin, for giving us this opportunity. We at Huada University will definitely not let you down!"
After seeing Zhou Mingyuan off, Lin Zhou's office was greeted by the head of the district government's investment promotion office, who had come specifically to deliver an invitation letter.
We have invited Lin Zhou to attend the investment promotion conference in Beijing next week. We hope that Lin Zhou can speak on stage as a representative of Hong Kong enterprises, so as to attract more Hong Kong and overseas enterprises to invest in Beijing.
Lin Zhou did not immediately agree, but accepted the invitation and said with a smile, "Thank you for the invitation, I will consider it."
The person in charge of the investment promotion office did not receive a reply from Lin Zhou, but he did not care. He simply chatted with them in the office, drinking tea while secretly inquiring about the current asset situation of Huahua Group.
Lin Zhou didn't tell the truth either, only complaining that the money he earned in Hong Kong had been almost entirely exploited by the foreigners. Having heard nothing useful after so much talk, he got up to leave, saying before he left:
"Mr. Lin, the government will fully cooperate with the development of Zhonghua Group. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you have any needs."
After the government officials left, it was noon. Liu Yaolong was finally able to catch his breath and have lunch with Lin Zhou in the temporary office canteen.
The food in the cafeteria is very simple: three dishes and a soup.
Liu Yaolong took a bite of rice and sighed, "President Lin, I now truly understand what it means to become famous overnight. Back in Hong Kong, Zhonghua was considered well-known, but it was nothing like what we are now, with the whole country paying attention to us."
Lin Zhou picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and slowly said, "So, with policy support, our group's development will be smooth sailing."
"Moreover, the country's reform and opening-up policy will only deepen, and the market potential in the mainland is far greater than what we have seen. The recognition we are receiving now is an opportunity, and also a huge opportunity."
His words gave Liu Yaolong a jolt, instantly calming his restlessness. He nodded emphatically, "President Lin, I've got it. Work diligently and move forward steadily."
After lunch, Lin Zhou reviewed the interior design plan for Zhonghua Building again. Once he felt there were no problems, he notified the site that construction could begin.
Lin Zhou and Liu Yaolong left the office with their secretary, got into a car, and instead of returning to their residence, had their driver take them to the construction site of Zhonghua Building.
The car stopped at the entrance of the construction site. Lin Zhou got out, put on his safety helmet, and walked into the construction site.
The renovation workers were making preparations for construction. Delivery trucks shuttled back and forth, making a deafening roar, interspersed with the noise of workers moving things, making the large construction site unusually noisy and busy.
When the person in charge of the renovation saw Lin Zhou and Liu Yaolong arrive, he immediately came forward to greet Liu Yaolong:
"Mr. Liu, if there are no problems with the design plan, we can start construction."
"As for the completion time, we have already roughly calculated the renovation time. If the construction schedule is followed, the exterior wall construction can be completed within three months, and the interior decoration will be carried out simultaneously. It is expected that the building will be officially delivered and put into use in six months."
Lin Zhou nodded and raised his hand to stop Liu Yaolong from introducing himself, in order to avoid trouble.
Then Lin Zhou gestured to Liu Yaolong to let the renovation manager continue to explain the renovation plan. The group slowly walked into the building through the construction passage. Lin Zhou reached out and touched the cold cement wall while listening to the manager explain the renovation plan.
They only walked around the first floor to get a general understanding of the detailed plan before leaving the construction site.
On the way back, Lin Zhou remembered Zhang Guotao, whom Liu Yaolong had mentioned that morning. Zhang Guotao was the general manager of Sijiucheng Construction Company and wanted to continue cooperating with Zhonghua Group.
Lin Zhou had an idea in the morning, but he was interrupted before he could say it. Now he could say it and let Liu Yaolong take charge of negotiating the project.
