Chapter 171 The historic meeting

Mr. Deng lives in Zhongnanhai, which is the highest collective residence and guards.

Li Zetian's bodyguards were waiting outside, and they could not enter here. Li Zetian, led by the guards, came to Mr. Deng's home.

The house was very lively, and Mr. Deng’s family was at home.

Fortunately, Li Zetian did his homework before coming and recorded all the members of Mr. Deng's family. Therefore, he could call out everyone's names and greet them very well.

In fact, Mr. Deng's family was full of curiosity about Li Zetian. They studied at Harvard University, then dropped out of school and started a business, and then became the richest Chinese with an absolute advantage. This period was full of legends, which was simply surprising.

Therefore, after Li Zetian came here, Mr. Deng’s children and grandchildren asked Li Zetian one after another. Li Zetian told the story ups and downs, and was eloquent. For example, there was a problem when developing the Apple-L personal computer and the company almost went bankrupt...

Not long after, Mr. Deng finished his business and returned home. When he saw Li Zetian, his face showed joy.

Li Zetian immediately stood up from the chair, then walked forward, greeted, "Hello, Mr. Deng!"

While talking, he looked at him carefully.

Mr. Deng was born in 1904 and is now 76 years old. He is bigger than Li Zetian's grandfather. He has gray hair, but his face is beautiful, full of kindness.

He also stretched out his hand very kindly to greet Li Zetian and said, "I can be your grandfather at all ages. Is it okay to call you Xiao Li?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Li Zetian said.

Mr. Deng said: "I have wanted to meet you several times, but unfortunately I missed it. Now I finally met you! Well, it's not bad. You look more energetic than newspapers and TV!"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Old Deng, your body looks very tough and full of energy."

"Haha, I'm old, it's not as good as before! Go to my study and let's have a good chat! You are not old, but you have become the richest Chinese. I'm just about to learn from you!"

"I dare not take it, but there is actually a great component of luck in it." Li Zetian said modestly.

So Li Zetian followed Mr. Deng to the study. The two sat face to face, with a red sandalwood tea table separated by a middle.

Mr. Deng's secretary poured each of them a cup of tea at this time.

Mr. Deng first chatted with Li Zetian about family matters, and then asked Li Zetian about his views on China's reform and opening up.

Li Zetian thought for a moment and replied: "The policy of reform and opening up has changed China's long-term closedness to the outside world, allowing China to open its doors to implement free trade. I believe that this measure will reverse the situation of China's economy on the verge of collapse, improve the international image, greatly increase national income and greatly enrich material life." Li Zetian only dared to give an acknowledged reply. As for how to do it, he would never say it. During the process of reform and opening up, countless state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, millions of workers were unemployed, and social conflicts were intensified. If he made suggestions, someone would definitely blame him for these problems, which would be involved in the political vortex.

Li Zetian is just a businessman. Being out of the matter, protecting himself is the smartest choice.

A big man like Mr. Deng naturally heard Li Zetian’s concerns all of a sudden, so he did not continue to ask questions.

So he changed his subject and began to ask economic questions, "What do you think about the development of China's economy?"

"China has a vast market, cheap raw materials and labor, which are very attractive to foreign companies. In the current situation where China's economy and science and technology are relatively backward, introducing Western technology and foreign investment is the best choice for rapidly developing China!" Li Zetian said.

Mr. Deng nodded, agreeing very much with this view, and said slowly: "In July 1979, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council agreed to pilot the export special zone in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, and Xiamen City of Fujian Province. Using preferential measures such as tariff reduction and exemption as a means, we will create a good investment environment, encourage foreign investment, introduce advanced technology and scientific management methods, and promote the economic development of the special economic zone! Next month, the "Export Special Zone" will be renamed "Special Economic Zone" and will be officially implemented in Shenzhen!"

After saying that, Mr. Deng looked at Li Zetian with a smile.

Li Zetian heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance. Isn’t this a hint that he was going to invest in Shenzhen?

"The special economic zone is very well run and very attractive. Mr. Deng, I can assure you that after the special economic zone is opened, I can be the first to come in and invest!" Li Zetian said seriously.

When Mr. Deng heard this, he was very happy. He took a sip of tea and said with relief: "With you patriotic overseas Chinese supporting national construction, China will definitely develop rapidly!" He paused and asked, "Are you planning to invest in and build a factory in Shenzhen?"

"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded and said, "I plan to build an OEM factory in Shenzhen to make OEM, that is, not design products, and be responsible for producing OEM for other companies. At the beginning, I can first engage in OEM production with low technical content..."

Mr. Deng was surprised when he heard this. Nowadays, factories usually design products and produce them by themselves. This is the first time that factories that specialize in OEM production for other companies have heard of it.

"Does such a factory have development potential?" he asked in confusion.

"Yes, and it's very large. In the first stage, most companies have their own factories, and designing and producing them by themselves can naturally save costs. However, more companies will be born in the future. In order to save entrepreneurial costs, these new companies will naturally choose OEM factories. When the scale of OEM factories becomes larger and larger and form a certain scale effect, the production cost of OEM factories will be greatly reduced, even more cost-effective than establishing factories by themselves. At this time, more and more companies will be willing to hand over their own products to OEM factories for production, thereby further improving the scale efficiency of OEM factories and forming a virtuous cycle!"

Li Zetian paused and said with a smile: "Of course, it's simple to say, but it's difficult to start. The competition among OEM factories is actually quite large, with low processing costs and low profits, and it's easy to be choked by downstream brands. Once there are no OEM brands users, OEM factories will face a bankruptcy crisis! If OEM factories want to develop their own brand, then the original customers will be exposed. They will think, 'My cost is your profit. I support my competitive brand. Am I not raising a tiger for a tiger?' The current technology of China, frankly speaking, is it really different from that of Western countries. Doing OEM for foreign companies may be a good way. With the help of the other party, you can build a factory and slowly improve your technology..."

When Mr. Deng heard this, he suddenly realized and couldn't help but secretly praise, "Li Zetian is worthy of being a business genius"!

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Actually, I have even thought of the name of the factory."

Mr. Deng asked curiously: "What name did you choose?"

"Ant Factory!!!"

"Ant Factory?" Deng Lao smiled, "Why are you given such a strange name?"

"Ants are very hardworking animals, and they are numerous, with clear division of labor, each performs its own duties, and have high work efficiency!" Li Zetian explained.

"oh!"

At this time, someone came outside to ask everyone to have a meal.

Mr. Deng smiled and said, "Xiao Li, let's have a meal first, and after dinner, we will continue to chat!"

"OK!"

Li Zetian was not at all reserved when having dinner with Mr. Deng’s family. He was very calm, gentlemanly and well-educated. Although he was excited, his hard work in the mall and his high position over the years have changed his temperament.

If you are in your position, you will nourish your energy.

"Xiao Li, don't be polite, eat whatever you like!" Mr. Deng said while picking up food for him. How could Li Zetian feel embarrassed?

"Old Deng, I'll do it myself!" Li Zetian said hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, then you can pick up the food yourself." Old Deng smiled.

Li Zetian deliberately ate slower because Deng was old and ate slowly.

After dinner, Li Zetian chatted with Mr. Deng for more than an hour. Basically, Mr. Deng asked questions and Mr. Deng answered. Sometimes, Mr. Deng would ask some more sharp and sensitive questions, especially Hong Kong issues.

As Li Chengzhi and Li Zetian's influence in Hong Kong grows day by day, China values ​​them more and more.

For example, under the influence of this novel, it defeated the Hong Kong newspaper industry and became one of the best-selling newspapers in Hong Kong. Moreover, this novel not only set off a frenzy of immortals in Hong Kong, but also became popular throughout Southeast Asia, and its influence also spread to the entire Southeast Asia region.

Li Zetian naturally supports Hong Kong's return to China.

He clearly expressed his feelings to Mr. Deng and said, "Mr. Deng, please rest assured. My father and I absolutely support Hong Kong's return to China and are willing to wave the flag and shout for him!!!"

Mr. Deng showed joy on his face. China has been unable to achieve effective work on the Hong Kong negotiations. If we have help, we can not only put pressure on the Hong Kong and British governments, but also stabilize Hong Kong citizens through public opinion and reduce panic! This will help Hong Kong to return to mainland China smoothly!

At present, many Hong Kong citizens are worried that after Hong Kong returns to the mainland, their property safety cannot be guaranteed, or they are worried that Hong Kong's economy will decline. Some wealthy people have even run away early and transferred their assets to other countries. This is a huge loss for China and Hong Kong!

It was already dark at around 8 o'clock in the evening, and Li Zetian ended this historic meeting!

He didn't know how much China's development speed would be moving forward after hearing his words, but there is no doubt that Mr. Deng must have benefited a lot from it!

In addition, Li Zetian also won the appreciation and attention of Mr. Deng. Although he did not explicitly say that he would help him, as long as his future career is legal, it will definitely be smooth in China. Moreover, Li Zetian also got Mr. Deng's private phone number, which can be called at any time.

ps: 1000 monthly tickets, I didn’t expect it to be so fast. In other words, there are three updates left. I work hard to complete them. I can’t complete them today, so I will definitely be able to do it tomorrow! Don’t stop the tickets, please continue!!!
