Chapter 582 Choice
Lin Xiaohe spent half a month selecting 13 backup pilot companies. The conditions were all similar, and the factories would get rid of the corrupt management themselves. Funds and orders would come in immediately.

When Chen Guang's father heard this, his eyes turned red with envy: "Why isn't Lin Xiaohe from our province?! Oh dear, our province is struggling too."

Chen Guang held his thermos, the tea inside as strong as coffee: "It's all fate. What did the telecommunications bureau say?"

"There's a high probability there won't be any problems. We're just waiting for the official signing in Liaoyang. With someone taking the lead like this, the pressure on our provincial telecommunications bureau will be much less."

Chen Guang: "Then you'd better hurry up. The official signing ceremony is in two days."

"Okay, I'll book the tickets right away. Could you please arrange a time with District Chief Lin to discuss the details?"

Two days later, Lin Xiaohe shook hands with leaders of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau under the spotlight and signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the Xiaolingtong project.

Provincial and municipal leaders, including Wu Sheng and An Fu, also attended the signing ceremony and delivered important speeches, expressing their cautious expectations for the project.

After the signing ceremony, Wu Sheng and An Fusheng left first.

The red-chip logo was displayed on the stage at the signing ceremony, and the lively discussion had not yet subsided.

Zhang Mingde, as the deputy district head of the pilot area in Tienan District, naturally participated in the signing ceremony.

The smelter director beside her, with a bright smile on his face, whispered, "Director Zhang, our new leader is a bit unsociable."

"Oh?"

"People in the factory are restless, and everyone is talking about the reforms in Anyang County. But no two leaves are the same, and every factory is different. The same experience may not work for our factory."

The factory director of the electromechanical plant on the other side chimed in, "Compared to our district, Anning County is like an ant compared to an elephant. Anning County only has about 10 companies, while our district has several hundred. If there's even a small spark, it won't just ignite our district; the entire province will be affected."

Many people said, "That's right, stability and harmony are the cornerstones of development."

"When a large ship turns around, it must be done slowly and deliberately; if it turns around suddenly, it is easy to capsize."

Looking at Lin Xiaohe, who was signing a contract with the telecommunications bureau, Zhang Mingde smiled and said, "What the factory directors said makes sense. The district has taken into account the actual difficulties of each factory."

The group exchanged smiles.

At this moment, Lin Xiaohe is discussing the details with the leaders of the telecommunications bureau who have just signed the contract.

"Our meeting decided that the tariff for PHS phones will be the same as that for landlines, at two cents per minute, with only the caller paying the fee and receiving calls free."

Lin Xiaohe praised, "The price is very reasonable."

The current mainstream mobile phones, not counting the cost of the equipment, have an initial installation fee of up to 3000 yuan just for network access, and the call fee is 4 cents per minute, charged in both directions. If long-distance and roaming fees are included, this price is something that ordinary families can't even dream of.

In comparison, the price advantage of PHS (Personal Handyphone System) is quite significant.

Even though the PHS phone couldn't make nationwide calls like the big mobile phone, and was only available in pilot cities, it was cheap! Most people's lives were confined to their local area, so they didn't need to make calls across provinces.

The leader in charge of sales at the telecommunications bureau shook hands with Lin Xiaohe, deeply impressed: "In terms of market insight, Linqu is far ahead of all of us. We barely announced it, and many people in the provincial capital were already pre-ordering PHS phones. In less than a month, we've already pre-sold 3 units." At 600 yuan per unit, 3 units would be 1800 million yuan!
The other leaders at the telecommunications bureau were secretly astonished.

My goodness! They just put a few PHS (Personal Handyphone System) demo units in the sales hall, and before the products were even produced, they raked in 1800 million!
Lin Xiaohe is truly a genius; he actually came up with a pre-sale system. This is equivalent to using customers' money to purchase production materials, so Changhong Factory neither needs to advance funds nor worry about inventory issues.

Tsk tsk tsk, everyone looked at Lin Xiaohe with delight, wondering what was going on in her head?
In the wave of the market economy, making money is as easy as playing a game for her.

The sales manager at the telecommunications bureau said enthusiastically, "Once the contract is signed, we plan to increase our advertising and sales efforts in the business halls. But, can your Changhong factory produce enough?"

Lin Xiaohe: "We are too busy to handle everything, so Changhong Factory is exploring how to cooperate with enterprises in the Tienan District to achieve a win-win situation."

The telecommunications bureau leaders understood the situation and, after exchanging a few words, they all left.

Chen Guang, carrying Lin Xiaohe's briefcase, grinned obsequiously at her: "Boss, is it convenient for you to meet my dad now?"

"Row."

Chen Guang's father was the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Jilin Province and a member of the Jilin Provincial Enterprise Reform Group.

His appearance was completely different from Chen Guang's; he looked like a chubby Maitreya Buddha.

Chen Guang explained in a low voice, "He is my biological father, but I look like my mother."

Director Chen came to see Lin Xiaohe with great sincerity. He first frankly told Lin Xiaohe about the current predicament of Jilin Province and the purpose of his trip. Then, he very humbly asked Lin Xiaohe for advice.

Lin Xiaohe also offered very sincere advice: "If it's just to alleviate some of the financial difficulties, your telecommunications bureau can place orders directly with Changhong factory. But if you want to use this as a starting point to break the ice, I personally suggest that Changhong factory and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly establish a factory in the province to take over some of the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) business."

Director Chen sat up straight, took out paper and pen, and began to take careful notes.

Lin Xiaohe: "History never requires a generation to do everything, but it does require each generation to do what is necessary for that era. In our time, what we need to do is to become rich."

"The central government advocates industrial restructuring, the core of which is to address the structural misalignment during the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. It has adjusted the past model that overemphasized heavy industry, proactively curbed redundant construction, and vigorously developed light industry and the service sector."

Lin Xiaohe: "This is not friendly to us three old provinces."

Director Chen nodded in agreement. That's exactly the point!
Lin Xiaohe: "By cooperating in the factory, we can take advantage of the ten-year golden period of Xiaolingtong's development and buy time for enterprise reform. In the first two years, we can form a re-employment direct sales team, recruit people from laid-off workers, and set up communities for direct sales teams to sell Xiaolingtong. Once Xiaolingtong becomes a trend, we will completely open up the sales of Xiaolingtong and no longer tie it to telecommunications business outlets."

Director Chen's eyes widened suddenly.

If the Little Smart (Xiaolingtong) market is indeed a blue ocean as Lin Xiaohe predicted, then selling Little Smart will have already created a large number of wealthy people.

This is what it means to get rich first.

However, there are many policy risks involved.

He lowered his eyes. That brat had once said that Changhong's research institute was developing mobile phones. Lin Xiaohe's proposal to liberalize the sale of PHS phones was probably a way to pave the way for selling mobile phones. She was using him, hoping to facilitate the implementation of certain policies.

After all, if PHS phones can be sold freely, mobile phones certainly can too!
"it is good!"
