Views:

Deng Lao lived in Zhongnan~~~hai, which is the residence of the highest collective, guarded by Senran.

Li Zetian's bodyguards were all waiting outside, they could not enter here, and Li Zetian came to Deng Lao's house under the leadership of the guards.

The house was very lively, and Mr. Deng's family was at home.

Fortunately, Li Zetian did his homework before coming, and wrote down all the family members of Deng Lao, so he could call out everyone's name and greet them very familiarly.

In fact, Deng's family was full of curiosity about Li Zetian. He studied at Harvard University, then dropped out to start a business, and then became the richest man in China with an absolute advantage. This period is full of legends, which is simply surprising.

Therefore, after Li Zetian came here, Deng Lao's children and grandchildren asked Li Zetian one after another. Li Zetian told the story of the ups and downs, and it was eloquent. For example, something went wrong when developing the Apple-l personal computer and the company almost went bankrupt...

Not long after, Mr. Deng finished his official business and returned home. When he saw Li Zetian, his face showed joy.

Li Zetian immediately stood up from the chair at this time, then stepped forward and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Deng!"

As he spoke, he looked at him carefully.

Deng Lao was born in 1904 and is now 76 years old. He is older than Li Zetian's grandfather.

He also reached out his hand to greet Li Zetian very kindly and said, "I can be your grandfather at my age. Is it okay to call you Xiao Li?"

"Of course no problem!" Li Zetian said.

Deng Lao said: "I wanted to meet you several times, but unfortunately I missed them all. Now I finally meet! Well, yes, you look more energetic than the newspapers and TV!"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Elder Deng, your body looks very strong and full of energy."

"Haha, I'm getting old, it's not as good as before! Go to my study, let's have a good chat! You are not old, but you have become the richest man in China, and I just want to learn from you!"

"Don't dare to be, in fact, there is a lot of luck in it." Li Zetian said modestly.

So, Li Zetian followed Deng Lao to the study. The two sat facing each other, with a rosewood tea table in between.

Deng Lao's secretary poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Mr. Deng first chatted with Li Zetian about family affairs, and then asked Li Zetian's views on China's reform and opening up.

Li Zetian thought for a moment and replied: "The policy of reform and opening up has changed China's long-standing closed-off situation, allowing China to open its doors to implement free trade. I think this move will reverse the situation in which China's economy is on the verge of collapse. Improving the international image has greatly increased national income and greatly enriched material life." Li Zetian only dared to give an affirmative answer, and he would never say how to do it. In the process of reform and opening up, countless state-owned A large number of enterprises went bankrupt, millions of workers were unemployed, and social conflicts were intensified. If he made his own plans, someone would definitely blame him for these problems, and he was involved in a political vortex.

Li Zetian is just a businessman, and staying out of the matter is the smartest choice to protect himself.

A big man like Mr. Deng naturally heard Li Zetian's concerns all at once, so he did not continue to ask questions.

So, he changed the conversation and began to ask economic questions, "What do you think about the development of China's economy?"

"China has a vast market, cheap raw materials and labor, which are very attractive to foreign companies. In the current situation where China's economy, science and technology are relatively backward, the introduction of Western technology and foreign capital is the best choice for China's rapid development!" Li Zetian said.

Deng Lao nodded, agreeing with this view very much, and said slowly: "In July 1979, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council agreed to set up a trial export special zone in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou in Guangdong Province and Xiamen in Fujian Province to reduce or exempt tariffs. By creating a good investment environment, encouraging foreign investment, introducing advanced technology and scientific management methods, and promoting the economic development of the special economic zone! Next month, the "export special zone" will be renamed "special economic zone", and Officially implemented in Shenzhen!"

After finishing speaking, Deng Lao smiled and looked at Li Zetian.

Li Zetian heard Xianyin and knew Yayi, didn't this imply that he was going to invest in Shenzhen

"The special economic zone is very well done and very attractive. Mr. Deng, I can assure you that after the special economic zone is opened, I will be the first to invest in it!" Li Zetian said seriously.

When Mr. Deng heard this, he was very happy. He took a sip of tea and said with relief: "With you patriotic overseas Chinese supporting the country's construction, China will definitely develop rapidly!" After a pause, he asked, "Are you? Are you planning to invest and build a factory in Shenzhen?"

"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded and said, "I plan to set up a foundry in Shenzhen to be an OEM, that is, not to design products, but to be responsible for producing foundry for other companies. In the initial stage, you can first engage in low-tech industries. OEM production…”

When Mr. Deng heard this, he was surprised. Today's factories generally design and produce their own products, and this is the first time I hear about a factory that specializes in OEM production for other companies.

"Does such a factory have potential for development?" he asked suspiciously.

"Yes, and it is very large. In the first stage, most companies have their own factories, and they can naturally save costs by designing their own production. However, in the future, more companies will be born. In order to save startup costs, these new companies will naturally Choosing a foundry, when the scale of the OEM foundry becomes larger and larger, forming a certain scale effect, then the production cost of the foundry will be greatly reduced, even more cost-effective than the enterprise building its own factory. At this time, there will be more and more More and more companies are willing to hand over their own designed products to foundries for production, thereby further improving the scale efficiency of foundries and forming a virtuous circle!"

Li Zetian paused and said with a smile: "Of course, it is easy to say, but difficult to do. The competition among foundries is actually quite large, with low processing fees and low profits, and it is easy to be caught by downstream brands. If the foundry wants to develop its own brand, the original customers will disappear, and they will think, 'My cost is your profit, and I support my competitive brand, Am I not raising tigers?' At present, China's technology, frankly speaking, is indeed very different from that of Western countries. It may be a good way to do OEM for foreign companies. With the help of the other party, you can build factories and slowly Improve your skills…”

When Mr. Deng heard the words, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help but praised "Li Zetian is indeed a business genius"!

Li Zetian smiled at this time: "Actually, I even thought about the name of the factory."

Deng Lao asked curiously, "What name did you take?"

"Ant Factory!!!"

"Ant Factory?" Deng Lao laughed, "Why do you have such a strange name?"

"Ants are very hard-working animals, and they are numerous, with a clear division of labor, each performing their own duties, and working efficiently!" Li Zetian explained.

"Oh!"

At this time, people came outside and called everyone to eat.

Deng Lao smiled and said: "Little Li, let's eat first, after eating, let's continue talking!"

"OK!"

Having dinner with Deng's family, Li Zetian was not at all restrained, and behaved very calmly, gentlemanly, and self-disciplined. Although there is no lack of excitement in his heart, his own temperament has been changed after years of hard work in shopping malls and high positions.

In its position, it nourishes its qi.

"Little Li, you're welcome, eat what you like!" Elder Deng said, while giving him some vegetables. Why did Li Zetian feel so embarrassed

"Old Deng, I can do it myself!" Li Zetian said quickly.

"Okay, okay, then you can bring your own food." Elder Deng said with a smile.

Li Zetian deliberately eats slowly, because Deng is old and eats slowly.

After dinner, Li Zetian chatted with Deng Lao for more than an hour. Basically, Deng Lao asked questions, and Li Zetian answered. Sometimes, Mr. Deng would ask some sharp and sensitive questions, especially the Hong Kong issue.

As Li Chengzhi and Li Zetian's influence in Hong Kong has grown, the Chinese are increasingly looking at them both.

For example, under the influence of the novel "Zhu Xian", "Hong Kong Daily" overwhelmed "Ming Pao" and swept the Hong Kong newspaper industry, becoming one of the best-selling newspapers in Hong Kong. Moreover, the novel "Zhu Xian" not only set off a wave of immortals in Hong Kong, but even swept the entire Southeast Asia, and the influence of "Hong Kong Daily" also spread to the entire Southeast Asian region.

Li Zetian naturally supports the return of Hong Kong to China.

He clearly expressed his intentions to Deng Lao, saying: "Deng Lao, please rest assured, my father and I absolutely support Hong Kong's return to China, and "Hong Kong Daily" is willing to cheer for it!!!"

Deng Lao's face showed joy. China has not been able to achieve effective work on the Hong Kong negotiation issue. With the help of the "Hong Kong Daily", it can not only put pressure on the British Hong Kong government, but also stabilize Hong Kong through the power of public opinion. Citizens, lower the panic! This is conducive to the smooth and smooth return of Hong Kong to mainland China!

At present, many Hong Kong citizens are worried that after Hong Kong's return to the mainland, their property safety cannot be guaranteed, or that Hong Kong's economy will decline due to this. Some of the rich have even run away ahead of time and transferred their assets to other countries. This is a huge loss to China and Hong Kong!

It was already dark at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Li Zetian ended this historic meeting!

He didn't know how much China's development speed would advance after Deng Lao listened to him, but there is no doubt that Deng Lao must benefit a lot from it!

In addition, Li Zetian also won the appreciation and respect of Deng Lao. Although he did not expressly want to help him, as long as his future career is legal, then he will definitely be smooth in China. Moreover, Li Zetian also got Deng Lao's personal phone number, which can be called at any time.
