Chapter 961: Journey to Kingsoft

In mid-December, although the outskirts of Jinshan City are in the cold winter of the bleakness, there is no longer the destruction and ruin of the floods when they first subsided. The construction of Jinshan New City, which was the worst hit by the lake water, has also been restored. Through the newly planted road green belt, you can occasionally see some trees with tenacious life on the inside, and the scars after the disaster are healing rapidly.

In addition to donations from all walks of life and relief withdrawals from the central government, the Jiangnan Provincial Government received a US$200 million emergency relief loan from Huashang Bank, headquartered in Singapore, in mid-September, which played a key role in the post-disaster reconstruction work. In order to obtain this disaster relief loan, Zhang Ke and Xie Wanqing jointly deposited US$200 million in Huashang Bank to offset the funding gap of Huashang Bank.

Before visiting the newly built lake embankment, the convoy had to pass through the Electronics Industrial Park first. When passing by, Zhang Ke specially asked the car to drive slowly and looked out through the window to see the situation of the Electronics Industrial Park.

The Electronics Industrial Park, which was previously jointly invested by Kewang and Charles Schwab Electronics, has now become Xin Kewang's production base in Kingsoft. Taking over the production line eliminated by NEC Electronics, the Huaxia, Kewang and NEC joint venture imaging tube factory here has been put into trial operation, and the speed is very fast. In addition to the initial agreed color TV project, Kewang will also enter the display market with NEC technology - there are not many domestic manufacturers that can produce CRT monitors.

In addition, Huaxia, Kewang and NEC also jointly established Kehua Trade Co., Ltd. According to Zhang Ke, the senior management of Kehua Trade is mainly staffed by RB, and will control the international trade business of all joint ventures of Huaxia, Kewang and NEC. In other words, the overseas trade rights of the joint ventures completely fall into the hands of the Mitsui Consortium behind it.

Zhang Ke looked at the metal nameplate embedded on the gate of the Electronics Industrial Park. At this time, there were only two signs: "Kewang (Jianye) Display Electronics Co., Ltd." and "Kehua (Jianye) Products and Trade Co., Ltd.". He thought that Mitsui could easily complete the overall layout of the display electronics market in China from logistics trade to manufacturing and sales. The newly established joint venture could not get rid of the situation of being controlled in technology, procurement and other links. At best, it was just a channel for Mitsui to absorb profits in the Chinese market.

In the eyes of the outside world, the cooperation with the global heavyweight electronics company NEC has made Kewang's reputation in China more dazzling and more valued, and has attracted a lot of public attention, which has slightly improved Kewang's disc player business in the domestic market. Kewang had previously acquired Haizhou Sanyuan TV Factory, but its TV business did not have much status in the domestic market. However, after the beginning of autumn, its performance has increased rapidly and its market share has squeezed into the top ten, which is a lot of achievements.

At this time, King Ke looked like a complete illusion. Zhang Ke didn't know what Xie Jiannan would feel: was he soaring and thought that he could regain his glory, or was he worried that King Ke's control would gradually fall into Mitsui's hands? However, Ge Mingxin, the former strategic partner of the Xie family, and Ge Yinjun and his son would be much more desolate at this time.

Ge Mingxin, Ge Yinjun and his son paid a fine of HK$600 million to the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission in early December to terminate the investigation of Charles Schwab Electronics. In addition, the Ge father and son also had to compensate the listed company Charles Schwab Electronics for HK$300 million.

In order to raise the huge amount of HK$900 million in compensation, Ge Mingxin and Ge Yinjun and his son have been selling their assets including stocks, real estate, properties, and bonds at low prices since late November. The Ge family has completely lost their glory in that year.

Even if Charles Schwab Electronics receives compensation of HK$300 million, it is difficult to change, mainly due to the collapse of commercial credit and the rise and suppression of its competitors. Charles Schwab Electronics' factory in Guangdong has already fallen into operational difficulties. For the OEM base with 40,000 employees, the compensation of HK$300 million is only enough to pay less than half a year of employee salary. It is necessary to reduce production scale and lay off employees, and this money is not enough for workers to condemn the expenses.

Since last time back to the Hong Kong Electronics Exhibition, Zhang Ke had not had the chance to see the down-and-out appearance of the Ge father and son. He took his eyes away from the window and leaned on the comfortable and soft pillow of the seat. Fu Jun, who was sitting in the front row, reminded him that the lake embankment was in front.

The car stopped in front of the newly built Jinshan Lake embankment and learned a painful lesson from the collapse of the embankment. The newly built lake embankment adopts a re-dike structure in a section of Lincheng to avoid direct threats from the lake water in the new city.

The car was parked at the collapsed dike and a monument was erected under the dike. It was only after two days that the monument was officially completed. Zhang Ke didn't like to join in the fun, so he came over to worship in advance.

The towering stone tablet carved the relief of six soldiers who jumped into the breach and 100,000 soldiers and civilians holding hoes on the west bank of the Jiujiang River to build a moat. After offering flowers, Zhao Youlun accompanied Zhang Ke to climb the lake embankment from the ramp behind the commemorative plaque.

Looking at the misty lake water in the distance, if the moat was not built on the east bank of Jiujiang River within six hours after the collapse of the dike, Zhao Youlun could not imagine what a terrible disaster would have caused to allow tens of billions of tons of floods to rush into Jinshan City with a population of three million!

However, the Jinshan Lake, which caused more than 1,200 casualties in military and civilians and suffered direct economic losses of nearly 6 billion, is still a heavy damaging embankment. The lesson that cannot be forgotten is learned.

Zhao Youlun introduced the post-disaster reconstruction work of Jinshan and the diversion of Jinshan Lake and Yinma River to Zhang Ke on the lake embankment, restored the tidal flats and wetland landforms along the Jinshan Lake, and returned the nearly 20,000 acres of lakeside forest land acquired by Xinguang Paper. In this way, the flood storage capacity of Jinshan Lake has nearly doubled, and this move alone has more than doubled the flood control standards in the Jinshan Lake basin. If these work could be carried out one or two years in advance, the floods in this summer would not pose much threat. Humans will always learn lessons after experiencing the bloody facts.

The work of returning farmland to forests in the mountains in the upper reaches of the Yinma River has also been fully carried out, and the forest planting work of Xinguang Forestry in Jinshan, Zhangzhou and other places has also been fully carried out. We must plant 800,000 mu of industrial raw material forests for central Jiangnan Province before next year's rainy season.

Zhou Fu did not experience the thrilling moment when the lake water was pouring back, and the wind was blowing a little cold on the lake embankment. He took out a cigarette and blocked Fu Jun and lit the cigarette. Zhang Ke turned around and saw Zhou Fu and Fu Jun smoking behind. He smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao is also addicted to smoking, and you don't know that Secretary Zhao is a cigarette."

Zhou Fu raised the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Is Secretary Zhao used to smoking this cigarette?"

Zhao Youlun saw that Zhou Fu had the most ordinary Jinshan Lake in his hand. Unexpectedly, as the vice president of Xinguang Paper, the general manager of Xinguang Paper's nearly 3 billion papermaking assets in Kingsoft, actually smoked the cigarette. He shook his head and smiled, and took out the same Jinshan Lake cigarette from his pocket and said, "Please please smoke my cigarette..."

This kind of smoke from Jinshan Lake is very strong, and people who are not addicted to smoking will have a headache if they smoke too much. Zhang Ke also took out his own cigarette and distributed one to Zhang Yi. The accompanying officials in Jinshan City also took out their own cigarettes to smoke.

Standing on this lake embankment, you can clearly look at Jinshan City, the low mountains in the southeast, and the papermaking base on the west bank of Yinma River.

With the acquisition of Chenxi Paper and the investment in technical transformation, Xinguang Paper has invested more than 3 billion yuan in Kingsoft. Xinguang Paper has also accepted large-scale capital injections from Huashang Group such as Guo Yunyuan Group and Chen Wanye Group. Yunyuan and Wanye's stake in Xinguang Paper has also increased to 36%.

The restoration of production after Xinguang Paper acquired Chenxi Paper was not smooth. Workers were not used to Xinguang Paper's strict management model, especially the reshaping of the procurement system touched many interest groups that had previously relied on paper mills to survive. Slacking off work, strikes, and crowds protests occurred frequently. When the technical transformation of the sewage plant was completed and production was to be fully resumed, the entire factory area was even hung with banners such as "Driving away the capitalist lackey Zhou Fu, and the working class should be the masters of the country". This incident later became a laughing stock that Zhou Fu often laughed at.

At that time, Zhang Ke was admitted to the hospital during the hostage incident, Zhou Fu also decided to suspend work indefinitely. In addition to the necessary guards, he organized a convoy the next day to prepare to evacuate all the management team from the paper mill.

When the management team brought all the personal belongings into the car and the fleet was about to drive out of the factory, workers blocked outside the factory gate to prevent the management from leaving the factory and requested that production resume.

At this time, less than a month has passed since Kingsoft Paper Mill fully resumed production. It can make profits in that month. With profits, workers' welfare and income can be increased. In addition, the resettlement community donated by Kumho will be completed and delivered, so that the situation of the entire paper mill will eventually stabilize.

As the first group of college students after the end of the Cultural Revolution in China, Zhou Fu has a collective and state-owned paper mill job experience. He contracted and contracted Kumho at Xinguang Paper Factory. After the acquisition, he experienced various minor pain points of the transformation of the enterprise system and management model. In particular, he helped Zhou You to condense the scattered paper assets of Haizhou into the powerful Xinguang Paper Group. He saw the various advantages of asset integration, capital operation, technological transformation, and production transformation. He also had the ability to control such a scale of Kingsoft Paper Factory. At least in the domestic papermaking industry, his management experience, vision and insights are all ranked among the top 3 or 5 people, and he is indeed qualified to be among the top 29 people in the Kumho.

Everyone was smoking cigarettes on the lake embankment. The next stop was to go to the east of the paper mill and visit the newly built resettlement community in the original shanty town.

Zhang Ke did not disturb Xu Xueping, Liang Weifa, and Zhao Youlun, who came here with shamelessness. Although with the ease of the domestic political situation in Indonesia, the momentum of Chinese capital withdrawing from Indonesia has gradually decreased, ignoring the influence of Kumho in Southeast Asian Chinese capital at this time is a visionary and ignorant behavior. Zhao Youlun can't watch Kumho guide the transfer of Southeast Asian Chinese capital to Xinting. Over the past period, whether it is Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan Province and Donghai Province jointly launched the Xiaojiang River Basin economic cooperation plan, more and more people have shifted their focus to Xinting, and Kingsoft is on the rise.
