The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The news that Lin Zhiyuan, chairman of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, would visit the Shenzhen Stock Exchange quickly spread within a small circle.

Most members of this circle are bosses in the electronics industry from Hong Kong and Taiwan who come to Shenzhen to invest and build factories.

These bosses brought technical equipment and new management concepts, and utilized the mainland's cheap labor, land, water and electricity to maximize profits.

They get orders from abroad, organize production domestically, and then ship the products overseas.

After so many years, the electronics industry cluster in the Pearl River Delta, centered on Shenzhen, has grown stronger and stronger. It is frankly speaking that all the electronic parts and components needed in the world can be found here.

Initially, most of the electronic parts produced here were exported overseas, but starting from 2000, the sudden rise of Music Garden players broke this inherent sales model.

Jie Guan, which produces earphones, Youlian Optoelectronics, which produces LCD screens, and Chengke Technology, which produces shells, have been surprised to find that orders from the mainland are gradually surpassing overseas orders since they became suppliers of Dongtian Electronics. Moreover, with the continued hot sales of Music Garden, the proportion of domestic sales and foreign sales has increased and decreased. So far, 80% of their orders have been supplied to mainland enterprises.

These bosses immediately realized that China's economy was taking off, and they were not only production bases and raw material bases, but would also become their sales market in the future.

Therefore, the arrival of Lin Zhiyuan, chairman of China Electronics Technology Group, attracted the collective attention of these Taiwanese businessmen.

In the eyes of these Taiwanese businessmen, the head of China's largest electronics company is synonymous with money and represents countless orders.

When Lin Zhiyuan was still in Guangzhou, these Taiwanese businessmen held a secret meeting to discuss how to approach and capture Lin Zhiyuan.

In the Shenzhen City, Shahe West Road, near the Bay Park side, there is an inconspicuous five-story building in the alley. The outside wall is high, and a circle of tall trees more than 20 meters high surrounds the entire yard tightly. You can't see anything inside from the outside. The high door is locked, as if it is isolated from the world.

There is an inconspicuous sign hanging on the gate of the courtyard, with the words "Taiwan Business Assistance Association" written on it.

At six o'clock that evening, the yard, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively.

Three cars drove into the yard almost at the same time, all black cars, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and the last one was a Lincoln. The people who got out of the cars were all over fifty years old, dressed in suits and leather shoes, with a hairstyle that was obviously carefully groomed. Although they were a little bloated, their air of wealth was not something that an ordinary small boss could pretend.

After getting off the car, the three people did not go into the building immediately, but stood in the yard and chatted.

These three people are Wu Shipu, the chairman of Jie Guan Company who came from Taiwan specially, Chen Zehan, the chairman of Youlian Optoelectronics and also the president of the Taiwan Business Assistance Association, and Suo Jingsheng, the chairman of Chengke Technology.

"Shi Pu, are the gifts ready?"

"Don't worry, President. I just called and the plane has landed. My people will come here right after picking up Miss Lin." Chen Zehan nodded slightly. "Have you explained the specific details? Don't be reluctant to spend money at this time. Tell Miss Lin that if she can satisfy President Lin, in addition to the price we agreed on before, she will be the heroine of the next advertisement of Youlian Optoelectronics."

Suo Jingsheng gave a thumbs up and said, "President, high output must be accompanied by high investment. I believe that tonight will definitely impress Director Lin."

Chen Zehan smiled calmly, leaning on the golden round-headed British antique cane worth 30,000 US dollars. "I have to admit that the mainland market is really too big. Even if only 10% is developed now, it is enough for us to have a full stomach. So, no matter what the price is tonight, we must build a good relationship with Director Lin and lay the foundation for future cooperation."

Wu Shipu turned his head and glanced at the wide-open gate. "But I am indeed a little curious about this young Mr. Lin. It is simply a miracle that he can develop a product like Music Garden in the mainland. It makes those of us who have been dealing with electronics all our lives ashamed!"

As Wu Shipu finished speaking, a young man in a black suit ran in from outside the courtyard and said, "Chairman, an Audi drove into the alley. It might be Director Lin's car."

Chen Zehan, Wu Shipu and Suo Jingsheng immediately walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw Lin Zhiyuan who had just got off the car.

"Director Lin is indeed a handsome man. Seeing you makes us realize how old we are."

"The three predecessors are the pioneers of the national electronics industry. Zhiyuan can only admire them."

It was the first time for the four of them to meet, so there was inevitably some flattery in their words.

After shaking hands and greeting each other, the three Taiwanese businessmen invited Lin Zhiyuan into the small building and took him on a tour.

"Mr. Lin, I bought this building when I first arrived in Shenzhen, in the early 1990s. Considering that it was not easy for friends from Taiwan's business community to start businesses in the mainland, I hoped that everyone could help each other and work together, so I founded this assistance association." As the owner of this building, Chen Zehan took the initiative to act as a guide.

This building is Chen Zehan's base in Shenzhen. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is a different world inside. It has restaurants, entertainment, and accommodation. There is even a swimming pool and gym in the basement, but it is never open to the public. Only Taiwanese businessmen who have made certain achievements or mainland officials who can create benefits for him are qualified to step in here.

"President Chen is indeed a role model for us."

Lin Zhiyuan followed Chen Zehan around the building.

The walls of the reception room, study, conference room, and even the corridors are decorated with many calligraphy and painting works collected by Chen Zehan in recent years.

Chen Zehan patiently introduced to Lin Zhiyuan the era, authors and origins of these works.

Lin Zhiyuan pretended to understand and admired them, but his attention was not on the calligraphy and paintings at all.

He could tell that this so-called Taiwan Business Association was actually a private club, but the clientele was too special and it was almost closed to the public. From the furnishings in the building to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, it could be seen that Chen Zehan was a person who believed in Feng Shui, which was also a common feature of Hong Kong and Macau businessmen.

After twenty minutes of visiting, Chen Zehan invited Lin Zhiyuan to take a seat in the restaurant.

The restaurant is not big and can accommodate ten people at most.

Chen Zehan asked Lin Zhiyuan to take the main seat, but Lin Zhiyuan refused. After a long period of negotiation, Chen Zehan took the main seat, Lin Zhiyuan sat on his left, and Wu Shipu and Suo Jingsheng sat on Chen Zehan's right.

Lin Zhiyuan noticed that there were only four people in the restaurant, but there were five chairs, and there was an empty seat to his left.

"President Chen, are there any other guests coming?" Lin Zhiyuan asked.

Chen Zehan and the other three old foxes smiled at the same time. "Mr. Lin is our honored guest, and this is our first meeting. The three of us have discussed it and decided that we cannot treat Mr. Lin badly, so we specially invited someone from Taiwan to accompany Mr. Lin, and he will be here soon."
