Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 306 Southeast Asia

As the incident gradually calmed down, Meng Qian also began to meet guests. The first group of guests he met on March 5 was a team brought by Zhou De. Zhou De is the leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology. There are several delegations from other departments, and the purpose of everyone's visit is naturally the demand for databases and business software.

Domestic official digital management actually started in the late 1980s, but the early digital management systems were very weak, and many local units could not even afford computers.

Until the end of the 1990s, with the development of the Internet for several years and the relative popularity of computers, digital management began to grow in China.

The period from 2001 to 2005 was a major time period for the official popularization of digital management in China.

In 2003, although Meng Qian did not eat the earliest piece of meat, he caught up with the fastest growing stage.

The negotiation went very smoothly. Zhou De and the others are willing to come, which is already an attitude of trust in the Dafeng Group. They don't believe the slander of Oracle at all.

And in fact, the country is very willing to support domestic technology companies, not to mention how many government orders Huawei and Lenovo have won. Everyone knows this. Look at companies like Tsinghua Tongfang. Because their products are not competitive, the country has stepped forward to go abroad. Talk about orders, help Tsinghua Tongfang sell products to Africa and Southeast Asia, and support all the way, although there are some companies that really can't afford it.

At the same time, Dafeng Group has always adopted a price strategy of high prices outside and low prices inside. Overseas, the products of Dafeng Group will generally be slightly cheaper than those of Omi, but not much cheaper.

But in China, this price advantage is very obvious. Foreign people sell one hundred, Meng Qian sells ninety, and domestic people sell one hundred, Meng Qian sells fifty.

So even if the factor of supporting domestic companies is not considered, there is no need for everyone to struggle with money when the products are similar.

Under the leadership of the national department, more and more provincial and local government departments took the initiative to contact the Dafeng Group, especially Jiang Province, and Meng Qian also quickly sent a sales team to all parts of the country to promote himself The product.

At this time, only Dafeng Group in the country has this product capability, the ability to compete with foreign products, and a price advantage, and it is easy to make money.

Beginning on March 7, some banks have also sent teams here one after another, not to mention some non-profit organizations, social institutions, and enterprises.

Dafeng Group's database and enterprise software will begin to explode in the domestic market.

"Our database and software sales this year are estimated to be worth two or three billion in domestic sales." During the morning meeting on March 12, Xiao Boshi sighed about the recent situation.

As a result, everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Boshi, who noticed everyone's eyes, asked a little uncomfortable.

"Old Xiao, although your job is mainly in the overseas market, you also need to have a basic understanding of the domestic market." Gu Junhui smiled and said, "Two to three billion, you are too underestimating our Huaxia market .”

"Then how much sales do you think there are?"

"Five billion as a base." Ding Mingyuan answered.

Meng Qian subconsciously nodded in agreement. In 2005, the Huaxia government spent more than 300 million yuan of public data just to purchase Microsoft's office software, of which 35 million yuan was spent on one province alone.

And there are a few key words here, just office software, just Microsoft, just public data.

Why do international giants like the Huaxia market so much, because this market is really too big.

Now if the country is really willing to support Dafeng Group, the market will be more than 5 billion.

The domestic market is almost done. Meng Qian began to arrange for docking with foreign companies. At the beginning, most of the companies and institutions that came to discuss cooperation with Dafeng Group were Asian companies and institutions. Among them, what Meng Qian cared most about was that the market in Southeast Asia was moving. up.

For a long time, people in Southeast Asia seem to be poor. There are indeed a few countries in Southeast Asia that are poor, but there are also a few countries that are developing well. Moreover, the brains of these well-developed countries are not stupid.

Since the disintegration of the old Soviet Union, some Southeast Asian countries have made good use of their weaknesses in this relationship very cleverly.

The so-called asymmetrical triangle is the situation of A\u0026gt;B\u0026gt;C, and because of the asymmetrical relationship, C has a lot of room for mediation. If you make good use of it, you can get a lot of benefits from A and B. Of course, it is really too big. If the stupidity is not used well, it is likely to be hammered by A and B together, which is why we see many Southeast Asian countries kissing A and B at one time.

People don't kiss anyone, they kiss for interests.

After 9/11, there was a subtle change in this relationship. Because of the topic of anti-terrorism, the United States began to further penetrate Southeast Asia militarily. Southeast Asia knew that this was a kind of pressure, but as the weakest C, he could not resist such things. , so he needs to find some balance.

In the past, Southeast Asia has done two things. One is to increase cooperation with the Chinese peacekeeping force, and the other is to increase trade exchanges with China.

But now, they suddenly discovered that China's technological development seems to have something, so go and have a look.

Starting from March 10th, many people from Southeast Asian countries have come one after another. Many people first went to Dafeng Group for investigation, and then stayed in China for a period of time.

Some of these people just came to visit, some purchased some products, and some talked about other things, such as Basong from the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand who was sitting in Meng Qian's office on March 15.

Southeast Asian countries are essentially large agricultural countries, but their respective characteristics of economic development are relatively obvious, which also leads to different economic development situations. East Timor is the poorest, and Brunei, Laos and Cambodia are slightly better. These four countries are all It's nothing but agriculture.

Myanmar is relatively better, because it has implemented a market economy since 1989, and Vietnam has started reform and opening up since 1986. The economic development path is actually a bit similar to that of China.

Indonesia is an export-oriented manufacturing economy, while the Philippines has an export-oriented economic structure, both of which have developed well. While Singapore, which everyone is familiar with, is the world's four major financial centers and the world's third largest oil refiner, Malaysia is following a new type of industrialized market economy.

Thailand's economic development is unique in Southeast Asia. It adopts a free economic policy and relies heavily on external markets and external technologies. However, Thailand has always relied on Omi and Neon, and basically has nothing to do with China.

"Mr. Meng, this is our investment promotion policy. Take a look at it first. It may be rough. We can discuss specific issues." Meng Qian took a folder and gave a copy to Xiao Boshi at the same time. The second time I came, I came to find Dafeng Group to open a branch in Thailand.

"I have always heard that Thailand's foreign exchange reserves have been continuously increasing in recent years because of Thailand's comprehensive and attractive investment promotion policies. It seems that the news spread outside is true." After reading the investment promotion policies, Meng Qian first praised.

"We in Thailand are no better than China. Our development needs everyone's help, so we should also show our sincerity."

Meng Qian did not continue to praise, "To be honest with Mr. Basong, we have learned about the Thai market last year. If our market research is correct, there are many Omi companies in Thailand. Our Dafeng Group used to have a lot of competition. ah."

"It is true that we have introduced a large number of Omi companies into our country, but there is one thing that Mr. Meng may not be clear about. Thailand is also a big agricultural and resource exporter."

Meng Qian nodded, "Your country's rice and rubber are exported all over the world, especially tin. I remember that your reserves are the largest in the world."

"Because of this, our scientific and technological development in the past 20 to 30 years has always been based on export-oriented industrial construction, such as the mining industry. But our Thailand is not like Russia, and resources are ultimately limited, so I need to change these few years. Our development strategy.

On the one hand, we have increased the development of the tertiary industry, such as tourism, on the other hand, we also want to make some adjustments in the field of technological development. "

"However, the premise of technological development still needs to be market-oriented." Meng Qian mentioned.

"Mr. Meng should be clear about Fengxin's development in Thailand. Thailand does not lack the soil for Internet development. Under the background of the current era, no country's market will resist the development of digitalization. We are very much looking forward to the arrival of Dafeng Group. "

During the whole conversation, Bassong has always shown a very low profile, even a little too humble, and some of his words are too straightforward, unlike what a national official should say, which makes Meng Qian curious but can't ask directly.

After politely coping with it for a while, Meng Qian said that he would send someone to Thailand to do an in-depth market research and give Basong a reply as soon as possible.

"So many high-tech companies in the United States have a history of cooperation with Thailand, why is he so humble to our Dafeng Group?" After sending Basong away, Meng Qian asked Xiao Boshi suspiciously.

However, Xiao Boshi didn't know, "Maybe I'll know after doing market research."

However, shortly after Ba Song left, Meng Qian received a call from Zhou De.

"Boss Zhou."

"Basong just left not long ago?"

Meng Qian immediately became sensitive, "How does Mr. Zhou know?"

"Basong first approached us. Thailand really needs to make a technological transformation, but their previous talent training in the country was in the direction of low-end industries. Once they transform, the relevant talent pool is very scarce, and now the United States obviously does not want to help them train them. talent."

Zhou De's words made Meng Qianmao suddenly enlightened, "It turns out that Omi doesn't want Thailand to develop high technology, so Thailand naturally focuses on us."

"So this matter is not just as simple as opening a branch overseas, but we also had a meeting just now. Although Thailand is now interested in Dafeng Group, I don't know how Basong behaves on your side. , but Dafeng Group is not a state-owned enterprise, and we will not interfere with your decision.

It's just that the current situation should also be considered as a factor that can be considered for Dafeng Group, so let me tell you. "

"The country has just supported me, so I have to know how to be grateful." Meng Qian said with a half-joking smile, "And I have always been very interested in the Southeast Asian market. I haven't found an entry point before. Now the United States suppresses them. Helped me a lot."

"Think about the specific situation yourself." Zhou De still hesitated before hanging up the phone and said, "The last time I came to your company, I refrained from telling you that if you really want to enter the Southeast Asian market, you will face You must be more cautious when you are in the United States, you are still young and have not experienced some things."

Meng Qian responded with gratitude, "Don't worry, Principal Pan has already reminded me, I know it well."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Qian asked Xiao Boshi to take the team to Thailand immediately. Before leaving, Meng Qian said, "Old Xiao, pay attention to this matter, we want to set a benchmark in Thailand."

Xiao Bo comprehended, "I understand."

Thanks to the beauties in the north for their rewards!
