The international community does not know that Zhao Yi was actually behind the acquisition of HSBC, but the top officials of the domestic government still know it.
When the decision was made to acquire HSBC, it had already been notified to the top levels of the mainland government. After all, the importance of HSBC in Hong Kong is self-evident. The change of ownership of HSBC is likely to cause turmoil in Hong Kong's economy.
When Zhao Yi wanted to acquire HSBC, the mainland government secretly paid attention to it for a while. However, there was no sign of the acquisition for more than a year. They even suspected that Zhao Yi was playing tricks on them. However, with Zhao Yi's status, He doesn't seem like someone who would make such a joke.
Of course they would not question Zhao Yi face to face, but they would no longer pay attention to it later. This matter could be regarded as downplayed in the minds of senior government officials.
What they didn't expect was that more than a year later, the situation suddenly revived, and the unknown Tengu Fund suddenly jumped up and wanted to acquire HSBC, which reminded them of what Zhao Yi said a year ago that he wanted to acquire HSBC.
It's just that they didn't know whether this Tengu Fund was related to Zhao Yi. In view of HSBC's huge influence on Hong Kong's financial community, they had to be cautious and called Zhao Yi specifically to ask if this was his arrangement.
Zhao Yiyi calmly replied, "Just watch the show." With this sentence, they understood instantly, and they put the stone in their hearts at ease and quietly watched the changes in Hong Kong's financial market.
They thought this would last for a long time, but they didn't expect that the financial giant would be acquired in just one day. The word "quick as lightning" can be used to describe it, and it also made them aware of the original financial acquisition. You can also play like this and teach them a good lesson.
It is through this incident that the top government officials have a more intuitive understanding of Zhao Yi's plans and actions. It seems that Zhao Yi never fights an uncertain battle. Nothing they want to accomplish fails. .
No matter how much international and domestic turmoil the HSBC acquisition war stirred up, Zhao Yi had already begun preparations for the annual meeting of his subsidiaries at the end of 1983. Throughout 1983, his subsidiaries had made great progress.
Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, which used to require large-scale subsidies from itself, has begun to make large-scale profits and start to feed its own business. Most of the funds for the just-established national highway skeleton network come from the profits of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
If Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company was considered a small success in 1983, then 1984 will be the year when Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company broke out completely.
Because this year, the Maowusu beef cattle they have raised for four years will be put on the market on a large scale, and it is expected to bring in sales revenue of trillions of yuan every year. This is a very scary number, which will directly double our country's GDP. .
The impact will be far-reaching, and if such a large amount of money cannot be used effectively, it will also cause very big problems. Fortunately, Zhao Yiyi has already thought about the use of this money.
At that time, some plans can also be implemented. When this plan is completed, both the country's income and happiness index will show explosive growth.
If DPCA was just gaining a foothold in the international automobile industry in 1982, then 1983 was the period when they grew into an international giant.
Now Shenlong Automobile Company has far surpassed its peers in technology, and has also caught up from behind in terms of brand awareness, and has become the first choice brand for many car consumers.
Just because of tariffs, the price of Shenlong Motors' cars is higher than that of other car companies. There is no way around it.
The WTO has not yet been established, our country has not yet joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and there are still tariff barriers in various countries. Although Europe and the United States advocate trade freedom, if they do not have an advantage in the industry, they will still use the big stick of tariffs to teach others.
Even under such a trade situation, the development of DPCA has not stagnated. Before the launch of in-car navigation systems, it already accounted for 17% of global automobile sales. Now it has reached 19%, although it has not exceeded the expected 20%. , which is already quite good.
This data is only the proportion of sales, not the proportion of sales volume. The prices of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars are higher than those of the same type of cars of international peers.
This is due to both tariffs and Shenlong Automobile Company's confidence in its own technology. Although the price is a bit higher, users can make up for it in terms of fuel economy. In the end, the economy is still higher than other cars of the same type.
Of course, not only Shenlong Automobile Company was rising during this period, but RB Automobile Company was also making no concessions.
It's just that RB's relationship with Europe and the United States is much better than that of our country, so their sales in the European and American markets are pretty good. With their low-price strategy, they continue to squeeze the market share of European and American automobile manufacturers.
This strategy has little impact on Shenlong Automobile Company. Consumers who buy Shenlong Cars do not come here for the cheap price, but like Shenlong Automobile’s unique industrial design, ergonomic and aesthetic interiors, and comfortable driving experience. , considerate 4S service, exclusive economical fuel performance.
The appearance of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars adopts the rounded design of later generations, which has a completely different sense from the appearance of cars at this time.
Even car consumers can tell at a glance whether it is a Shenlong Automobile Company car on the street. It is precisely because of the obvious appearance difference that the concept of Shenlong Automobile and other cars is gradually formed in the minds of consumers.
If Europe and the United States are still dominated by the sales of Mercedes-Benz cars and supplemented by the sales of Lingbu cars, then in Southeast Asia, the world is dominated by Lingbu cars.
Shenlong Automobile Company relied on Lingbu Motors to compete with RB automobile companies in Southeast Asia for 300 rounds. The results are obvious. Shenlong Automobile Company currently accounts for 80% of the sales share of the Southeast Asian market. It is almost difficult to see the sales of other car companies on the streets. car.
In order to open up the market in the Middle East, Shenlong Automobile Company launched a lightning sports car in 1983.
The cool appearance and sky-high performance parameters make the Middle Eastern tycoons who have just become rich unable to put it down. When driving such a sports car on the street, the return rate is absolutely 100%.
With the help of the Lightning sports car, Shenlong successfully won the favor of the wealthy people in the Middle East, allowing its Mercedes-Benz cars to achieve great development in the Middle East.
Especially the Mercedes-Benz S series, with its super protective capabilities and high price, has become a special vehicle for the royal family and government of the Middle East.
What is good above will be replicated below. Mercedes-Benz's ordinary models have also won the trust and love of ordinary people in the Middle East.
After all, Mercedes-Benz has a serious business style. In order to win the love of more young people, Shenlong Automobile Company took advantage of the trend and launched their youthful high-end car brand BMW, which instantly conquered the hearts of those young people.
Although BMW's current market sales are still lagging behind those of Mercedes-Benz and Lingbu, which were first launched, the growth rate is very fast.
Those with some financial resources, especially young people, are more willing to buy BMWs. After all, Mercedes-Benz seems a bit old-fashioned and is suitable for older people to drive.
In addition to these passenger cars, Shenlong Motor Company also produces large-scale heavy-duty trucks and buses, which are all for commercial purposes, and buyers are more concerned about economy.
The biggest advantage of Shenlong Automobile Company's cars is their energy saving and economy, and they are not inferior to cars from other companies in other aspects.
It is precisely because of these characteristics that DPCA's Hercules trucks and Lingyi passenger buses are loved by transportation companies around the world.
This has greatly reduced their operating costs and increased corporate profits. Companies that have used these cars have become loyal customers of Shenlong Motors.
This year, Shenlong Automobile Co., Ltd. mainly focuses on the mass car market, and will slowly extend its business to the multi-purpose vehicle and professional car market.
Such as pickup trucks, emergency rescue vehicles, school buses, garbage transport trucks, road cleaning vehicles, etc. These will be slowly developed and produced as the main business stabilizes, and then launched into the market.
If 1983 was the year when Shenlong Automobile Company stabilized and expanded, then for Future Space Technology Company, it was the year when the world knew about it.
With the establishment of the Beidou satellite navigation system, it has become comparable to those of major space powers. Especially its zero-error launches since its establishment have been welcomed by the international commercial satellite launch market, and now there are some international launch orders.
Some companies and business groups even hope that Future Space Technology will develop satellites for them, and Future Space Technology will evaluate the level of technology usage based on their requirements.
If the requirements can be met by using technology of the same international level, then these satellite orders will definitely follow. If satellites using ultra-high-level technology are needed, then stringent contracts must be signed, otherwise they will be rejected.
After these satellites are launched, they will not be controlled by Future Space Technology Company. If they take orders for these satellites and after launch, they can judge the technical level of the satellites through their experience.
If we do it more ruthlessly, we can let these launched satellites fall down to obtain some technology.
Although Future Space Technology Company is a private enterprise, due to the particularity of its industry, it involves many high-end technologies, which cannot be easily disclosed.
You must know that the Western embargo list against China is still there. As a Chinese company, Future Space Technology Company is very conscious. This is both a reciprocal response and an inevitable necessity to maintain its own advantages.
With the gradual popularity of Beidou satellite navigation around the world, as an operating unit of the commercial part, the operating income of Future Space Technology Company has also increased significantly.
Zhao Yi's continuous investment is no longer needed. The existing operating income is enough for the future space technology company to continue its operations.
With the continued in-depth development of navigation and positioning in various industries, future operating income will be higher. Coupled with undertaking commercial launches and commercial satellite construction, the future space technology company will become the world's first aerospace research unit that can sustainably make profits. .
It is simply too difficult to make a profit in the aerospace field, otherwise the country would not invest in this industry. If it were easy to make money, those capitalists would not have to squeeze their heads to enter this industry.
As the two major hegemons in the world, the Soviet Union and the United States did not expect that China, which they did not care about, would become the number one player in satellite navigation systems.
This greatly stimulated them. If they were not still fighting each other, they would probably use various means to deal with China.
Since in this special period, they cannot use special means to deal with China, they can only strengthen themselves, so they have increased their investment in satellite navigation technology, especially the United States, which has invested hugely and vowed to turn the original The time gap has narrowed to less than 5 years.
Although the Soviet Union's investment has also increased, it is already an old polar bear. Although it runs hard, its body does not allow it. (End of chapter)
