In a few days, Kristof seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his visit to Hua Xia. Instead, he began to explore the country desperately. Because he was observing from the perspective of a tourist, Kristof was able to see a lot of the real situation in Hua Xia. This made Kristof more and more certain that Hua Xia would be one of the most important stages in the world in the future.
"It seems that I was wrong!" Kristof once again admitted his mistake. At the same time, a complete report was sent to Kristof. This was a document report about Hua Xia's electronics industry.
Before coming to Hua Xia, Kristof, who was extremely curious about Daqian's production capacity, ordered Motorola to produce such an industry report.
But a president like Kristof didn't know much about Hua Xia, so it was impossible to expect Motorola to produce a meaningful report.
After seeing the development of Hua Xia, Kristof directly spent 100,000 US dollars to ask the strongest investigation company in Shanghai to produce such an investigation report for him.
The main purpose of Kristof's request for such a report was, of course, to find out the secret of how cheap Daqian mobile phones were. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could order a batch of parts from Hua Xia.
As a result, Kristof was surprised to find that many parts, which were sold for hundreds of US dollars in the United States, were sold for only a single digit price in Hua Xia.
And this was the company's ordinary price. If the quantity was large, the price could be reduced.
After completing the report, Kristof discovered that the manufacturing cost of a Motorola STARTAC would drop from 2,300 USD to about 1,400 USD if he only ordered a portion of the electronic components included in the report. That was a total reduction of 900 USD. Kristof almost went crazy when he saw this figure.
Kristof instantly understood many things when he thought of some reports about Nokia shutting down a large number of manufacturers in Finland.
"Why are these manufacturers concentrated near Xijiang Province's Yuzhang City?" When Kristoff wanted to contact these manufacturers to order parts, he found that 90% of them were located in Yuzhang City.
As for Yuzhang City, Kristoff was very familiar with it. After all, this was his final goal. In this city, there was a hidden poisonous snake waiting for Kristoff to clean it up.
"Because the Daqian Group is there!" The person from the investigation company said, "The richest man in Hua Xia especially admires industrial clusters. He likes to concentrate the entire industry in one place and is willing to invest a lot of money to support the development of the electronics industry. You know that if you set up a factory in Yuzhang City, you will be able to get the Daqian's investment if you have the technology and ability! "
"In one place, there's money, land, the support of the ZF, and the entire upstream and downstream industry chain. It would be strange if these companies were not concentrated in Yuzhang City!" The person who investigated the companies explained.
"In the end, we still can't escape the Daqian!" Kristoff's face was a little pale. According to the investigation company, these electronics companies were not only concentrated in Yuzhang City, but the Daqian Group was also investing in these electronics companies. They were equivalent to the directors of these electronics companies.
When the time came, the Daqian Group would only need to say a word, and the entire electronics industry in Hua Xia would be completely closed to Motorola.
At this moment, Kristoff suddenly realized that he did not understand the Daqian Group at all. In his eyes, the Daqian Group was just a company that produced mobile phones. However, when he came to Hua Xia and saw hundreds of advanced electronics companies that were invested by the Daqian Group, Kristoff realized that the Daqian Group was not a mobile phone company, but a giant electronics group. It was a super group that was similar to South Korea's Samsung Group!
Therefore, in terms of size, Motorola was not even qualified to stand side by side with the Daqian Group. If it continued to develop like this, the Daqian Group would have the scientific research and production capacity of an entire country in the future.
What was more frightening was that no one in the United States had discovered such a terrifying thing. 99% of the people in the United States, like Kristoff, still thought that Hua Xia was just a remote and poor place that relied on plagiarism.
"However, the people in Hua Xia are really lucky. With the addition of the Daqian Group, the GDP of such a poor province is estimated to increase by a lot this year. I'm afraid that Hua Xia will become one of the top five economic provinces in Hua Xia this year. Why isn't the Daqian Group a company in Shanghai?" The boss of the investigation company sighed. However, Kristoff was not in the mood to listen to these words.
After learning that all his targets were in Yuzhang City, Kristoff knew that it was impossible for him to stay in Shanghai any longer. After hiring a full-time translator and a temporary secretary through the investigation company, he took the two of them by plane and flew directly to Yuzhang City. Kristoff was shocked to see the city that shocked him greatly.
After arriving in Yuzhang City, Kristoff didn't even have time to be surprised. Instead, it was the translator and secretary behind him who were shocked.
"Is this really Yuzhang City? Didn't they say that Yuzhang City is poor and sleepy? Why does it look like it's comparable to Shanghai? "The translator couldn't help but ask.
As a native of Shanghai, other than the Imperial Capital, he had a strong sense of superiority over all the other cities in the country, especially now that Shanghai had entered a new development cycle. All kinds of high-rise buildings continued to rise from the ground, and it had begun to move towards an international metropolis.
However, when they arrived in Yuzhang City, they found that the Changbei Airport in Yuzhang City was actually more modern than the one in Shanghai. The entire airport was filled with electronic screens, and it seemed that the layout of the airport had already been electronic.
Even if Shanghai's Pudong Airport was completed, it might not necessarily be better than Yuzhang City's Changbei Airport!
Also, when they arrived in Yuzhang City, they found that although Yuzhang City was not as big as Shanghai, there were many high-rise buildings.
Especially in an area called Honggu Beach, there were high-rise buildings of more than 30 floors under construction everywhere. In contrast, the old city across the river was a bit too shabby.
Listening to the constant praise of the people behind him, the taxi driver finally couldn't help but say proudly, "Of course, it's the Daqian Group's fault!"
"Is this all the credit of the Daqian Group?" This question wasn't asked by the translator, but by Kristoff.
"Almost. The construction of Changbei Airport started in March two years ago, and it was just completed in June this year. I heard that Jia Yapeng of the Daqian Group disliked the lack of a decent airport in Xijiang, so he invested 5 billion yuan to build it. The government provided the land, the Daqian Group provided the money, and the shares of the Daqian Group were split equally with the Daqian Group. But now, it's all operated by the Daqian Group, so the government can share the money!"
"Also, the Red Valley Beach District that you mentioned just now was built in the past two to three years. Four years ago, Jia Yapeng of the Great Qian Dynasty drew a plot of land on the riverside. Then, in just a few years, all kinds of high-rise buildings have sprung up recklessly!"
"Are these high-rise buildings all built by the Daqian Group?" the translator asked curiously.
"Not necessarily. Some of them are built by the Daqian Group, but most of them are built by various real estate development companies that have emerged recently. Now, there are more and more companies in the Electronic Technology Industrial Park. These companies can't possibly work in the industrial park. They also need high-end office buildings!"
"In addition, some employees of the Daqian Group and these companies also want to buy buildings. When there's demand, there's a market. More than half of the high-rise buildings here are under construction, and there's also some residential areas. They're all built by those real estate companies."
"Good lord, the houses haven't been built yet, but the price of one square meter has risen to 1,500 yuan. As a taxi driver, I'm afraid that my legs will go soft when I hear this price. But I heard that as soon as these houses were launched, they were bought up by the Daqian Group and other companies. They rely on the migrant workers who have started to work. Those migrant workers earn more than us taxi drivers!" The taxi driver chattered. But through his mouth, everyone could feel the great influence of the Daqian Group on this city.
