Chapter 639 Computer
Negotiations for cooperation naturally won't take place in an occasion like this, nor can they be completed in just a few words.
Ying Anlun only had the intention of testing the waters. If Song Yuanchao also had this intention, then after the general direction of both parties was determined, specific people would discuss the matter in detail.
Song Yuanchao was naturally very interested in the cooperation proposed by An Lun, but as he said, it was not so easy to import raw materials from abroad, and there were many problems that needed to be solved.
But this did not prevent the two parties from having the intention to cooperate. Song Yuanchao needed a large amount of unplanned raw materials, especially a stable source of raw materials with guaranteed quality. And Ying Anlun also needed a long-term and stable customer to expand his company's sales channels.
If we can really cooperate, it will be a win-win result and beneficial to both parties.
"We can discuss this, but the specific implementation depends on the policy." Song Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "Importing products from abroad to the mainland involves many links. You may not know this because you are not in China. At present, enterprises do not have the right to import and export independently. Only relevant state departments or designated state-owned enterprises have this ability. Of course, there are ways to solve this problem. It will take some time."
"Haha, I believe Mr. Song has the ability and strength to do so." Ying Anlun replied with a smile.
Ying Anlun directly complimented Song Yuanchao, and Song Yuanchao smiled without commenting.
"The details of the cooperation are for later discussion, but the quality, quantity and price of your products...?"
"You can rest assured. The quality of our products is impeccable. In addition to local American customers, we also supply customers in Europe, Africa and several countries in Asia. There is absolutely no problem with the output. As long as you tell me the quantity, I will give priority to supplying you. As for the price, you don't have to worry about it. When I get back, I will have someone send you a detailed information, and you will understand after reading it."
Ying Anlun said confidently that in business, Ying Anlun is a successful businessman, and he will not ruin his reputation for some small profits. Moreover, this time when he returned to China, Ying Anlun keenly saw a huge potential market. China is so big, has such a large population, and is now in the process of reform and opening up. The country is developing rapidly and the people's living standards are constantly improving.
In this situation, everyone would be tempted by such a huge market, not to mention that he had seen the rapid development of Song Yuanchao and Ying Annie's Sitter Company over the past year.
Originally, when Ying Annie told her family that she wanted to return to China to start a business and set up the Si Te Company, Ying Anlun was very disapproving. In his opinion, China is currently very backward and lacks a business foundation. The risks of investing in the country are too great. If the policy changes, not only will he lose all his money, but he may even get into a lot of trouble.
Ying Anlun was negative about Ying Anni's decision. He advised Ying Anni not to make such a decision just because of the momentary excitement. Starting a business is not that easy. Moreover, she was a fresh graduate without any business experience. In this case, it was not reliable to invest a large sum of money in the mainland.
But at that time, Ying Annie was determined and insisted on having her own way.
As the eldest brother, Ying Anlun could not persuade her at all. As for his father Ying Shibo, he neither supported nor opposed this matter , which made Ying Annie more determined.
In addition, Ying Annie also talked a lot about Song Yuanchao, telling Ying Anlun that she met a business genius in the country, a genius who was more talented and capable in business than him, Ying Anlun.
Ying Anlun didn't care about what his sister said about Song Yuanchao. In his opinion, what kind of business genius could emerge from such an environment in the mainland? This was just the view of a young girl who had not experienced much of the world. If Ying Anni hadn't mentioned the story of Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan, and the friendship between Ying Caixia and Song Yuanchao, the vigilant Ying Anlun might have thought that his sister had encountered a boastful liar.
Song Yuanchao's name was remembered by Ying Anlun under such circumstances. To be honest, Ying Anlun didn't have a good feeling about Song Yuanchao at the beginning. Although Song Yuanchao had a connection with their Ying family and helped Ying Annie a lot, Ying Anlun believed that gratitude was enough, but there was no need to invest in the country because of such a person, right?
Even when Ying Anni officially registered the company and started working with Ruth, Ying Anlun still was not optimistic about her company.
Ying Anlun thought his sister was just being hot-headed and impulsive. This company was destined to fail, but due to her insistence, Ying Anlun had no way to stop her, so he was ready for Ying Anni's company to go bankrupt and return to the United States in disgrace.
But Ying Anlun never expected that Sit Company would become very successful in China shortly after it was established in the United States.
First, it attracted an investment and introduced several shareholders, and then used this platform to form a joint venture with a domestic food company.
After the joint venture, Sit Company began its rapid development in China. In just one year, it grew from a new company to its current size, and the pace of development continues to advance. The achievements have left Ying Anlun dumbfounded.
At this time, Ying Anlun really paid attention to Cheese Company and attached importance to Song Yuanchao mentioned by Ying Annie.
After understanding from many aspects, Ying Anlun had to admit that his sister was right. Song Yuanchao was indeed a business genius. In just a few years , Song Yuanchao had achieved what he has today from an ordinary person.
What surprised Ying Anlun even more was that in addition to the Sit Company, Song Yuanchao also owned the Xiangjiang Shenghua Group, which was a fairly large company.
Xiangjiang Shenghua is involved in many industries and its scale is also very impressive. If it weren't for the fact that Shenghua Group is a shareholder of Si Te Company, and if it weren't for Ying Annie, Ying Anlun would not have been able to find out.
Since then, Ying Anlun has paid attention to Song Yuanchao and collected a lot of information about him. The more he studied Song Yuanchao, the more interested he became in him. And with the continuous expansion of Si Te Company, Ying Anlun also had other ideas.
Ying Anlun's decision to take this opportunity to propose cooperation to Song Yuanchao was well thought out, and the result made him quite satisfied.
"By the way, brother..." Song Yuanchao said.
But before he could finish his words, Ying Anlun smiled and waved his hand: "Don't call me big brother, we are actually about the same age, just call me Anlun, it's more casual, my friends all call me that."
"Haha, for that, I will call you Anlun. Please don't call me Mr. Song all the time. I am not worthy of the title of Mr., just call me Yuanchao." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile.
The two of them burst into laughter at the same time. After laughing, Song Yuanchao continued, "An Lun, I have a question for you."
"You say."
"I want to ask, do you have any channels in the electronics industry or computers?"
"Electronics? Computers?" Ying Anlun was stunned. He originally thought that Song Yuanchao was going to ask about his company, but he didn't expect Song Yuanchao to suddenly mention electronics and computers. Isn't this a quick jump in thinking? Neither Ying Anlun's company nor Si Te's company had ever been involved in this industry. Why did Song Yuanchao suddenly think of this?
"Are you going to buy a computer?" This was Ying Anlun's first thought. Some large companies in the United States have begun using computers for office work. The most widely used one is the word processor, which is generally considered a type of computer.
Now, the best-selling word processor in the United States is the product of Wang An Computer. In the computer industry, Dr. Wang An is a legendary figure and the pride of all Chinese people. Last year, that is, 1983, the turnover of Wang An Computer exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars. Wang An's personal wealth has skyrocketed. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon become the richest Chinese in the world.
Today, Wang Laboratories computers are well-known in the United States and even in the world, and are a benchmark in the computer industry.
Faced with the popular Wang An computer, even the blue giant IBM had to give way. As a Chinese American, although Ying Anlun was not involved in this industry, he also knew Wang An. Moreover, from the current perspective, Wang An has become one with computers. Whenever computers are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Wang An. Now Wang An has become synonymous with computers.
"If you want to buy a computer, Wang An's word processor is really good. How many do you need? I can help you place an order when I get back." Ying Anlun said.
Song Yuanchao smiled and shook his head: "I won't buy a computer or a word processor."
Ying Anlun was stunned and looked at Song Yuanchao with some confusion. Since he didn’t buy the computer, then what happened just now... ?
Song Yuanchao immediately explained to Ying Anlun that he asked Ying Anlun about electronics and computers not because he wanted to buy a computer. In Song Yuanchao's opinion, although Wang An's word processor was good, it was of no use to him.
First of all, a word processor is actually a variation of a typewriter. It is simply an upgrade of the traditional typewriter using computer processing. At the same time, a screen is added to display the input text and edit the text content and format.
To put it bluntly, Song Yuanchao thought that such a function was too simple and too basic. This kind of word processing model would soon be eliminated, because with the emergence of personal computers and the opening of corresponding software, personal computers would have enough power to replace the original word processors.
After more than ten or twenty years, various office software such as WORD and WPS have been improved and their functions far exceed those of word processors.
Wang An computers were extremely popular at the time. If someone now says that Wang An computers were just a flash in the pan, no one would believe it, and they would even think it was alarmist. However, with the emergence , the continuous progress and improvement of personal computers, coupled with Wang An's mistakes in decision-making, this once glorious company eventually disappeared from the stage of history.
