Chapter 674: Dream Group, something is not quite right (page 12)

Li Jie, who finally finished his tactics and drank water, refilled a glass for himself and Chang Haonan respectively, and then hesitated for a moment, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Chang, there is one more thing..."

Judging from this meaning, it is likely to be followed by a question such as "I don't know whether to say it or not."

However, considering that both of them had technical backgrounds, this whole thing was a bit redundant, so he finally said directly:

"I would like to ask, is there any business relationship between your company and Dream Group?"

There seemed to be no connection between this question and the topic just now, which made Chang Haonan stunned for a moment:

"During the centralized procurement, did I buy their computer host...does it count?"

Needless to say, in this era, 100% of the accessories in the PC market are basically imported. Compared with other brands that have to import their complete machines from abroad, Dream Group can at least keep the assembly process in China, so in Public budget procurement eats up most of the market.

Therefore, although Chang Haonan didn't want to see the other party in his heart, he had no choice.

Moreover, from this perspective, Dream Group made some contribution to China's electronic information industry in the early days.

It's a pity that it ends there.

"Of course this doesn't count..."

Li Jie waved his hand and couldn't help but laugh:

"This can only be regarded as a normal purchase and sale transaction. I mean, cooperation like this with our Dawn Group."

Strictly speaking, it was a bit over the line for him to ask this question.

Although in most cases the cooperation between enterprises will be made public, the details of the outline and launch are also considered trade secrets.

If it is two private companies, then it is no problem for the bosses to sit together and chat about everything. If it is not convenient to answer, they can just go around in circles.

However, Torch Group and Shuguang Group are both second-level state-owned enterprises under the Academy of Sciences system, and they have a completely parallel relationship with each other. Even in terms of business, the former has a closer relationship with the Science and Technology Commission.

That's why Li Jie was a little hesitant just now.

But Chang Haonan didn't take it seriously.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, he has been planning to target the Dream Group since two years ago, but he has never told anyone about it.

So he immediately shook his head:

"Of course there is no such in-depth cooperation."

"You also know that Torch Group is not large in scale, and its main business is to provide targeted and exclusive technical solutions. Therefore, those who have business dealings with us are basically institutions or companies with R&D capabilities..."

After hearing this, Li Jie finally relaxed.

Immediately he realized that there was something in Chang Haonan's words, and couldn't help but chuckled——

Those who have dealings with Torch Group are all institutions or companies with R&D capabilities.

Isn't this a subtle hint that Dream Group does not have the ability in this area...

After giving the answer, Chang Haonan also asked with doubts:

"Why did Academician Li suddenly ask about this?"

As a reborn person, he naturally knows that the Dream Group is unreliable.

Moreover, the foreign trade business of Chinese enterprises that was originally smooth was disrupted by insiders introducing external forces. This happened countless times in the previous life.

So Chang Haonan still has this vigilance.

But it seems that Li Jie shouldn't be so sensitive.

After all, according to the timeline, the Dream Group at this time should not have become the conscience of American imperialism.

"This is a long story..."

Li Jie's expression, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned serious:

"You should know that in the past two years, the superiors were planning to merge the entire computing institute into the Dream Group, so at that time I was always the deputy director in charge of the work, and the director was always named by the CEO of the Dream Group .”

Chang Haonan nodded, but did not answer. He just motioned for the other party to continue.

"Later, their ambitions expanded and they wanted to take over our Shuguang Group as well. At the highest point, they had obtained 2000 million of our shares. However, in the end, because our group's revenue suddenly improved in 97, it was Didn’t let the Dream Group succeed.”

Having said this, Li Jie also raised his head and glanced at Chang Haonan.

After all, the somewhat sudden wave of supercomputing craze seems to have been influenced by the latter.

Although after calming down, everyone gradually discovered that without a person as incredible as Chang Haonan to take charge of the work, just having a supercomputer would have limited effect, but in any case, Sugon Group made a lot of money that time, directly Reversing the loss trend of previous years.

More importantly, it injected a wave of confidence into the superiors who were originally a little hesitant about this bottomless pit of funds.

And Chang Haonan finally understood:

"So, you, or we, have ruined Dream Group's good deeds, so Academician Li is worried that they will use some off-board tricks to sabotage it?"

"It's not just worry."

Li Jie looked solemn and said:

"Actually, when doing business, they want to acquire us, but we don't want to be acquired. It is normal for the two parties to have conflicts or commercial struggles."

"But since last year, we have obviously encountered some obstacles when importing computer components, some due to production capacity, some due to customs clearance documents, and some due to review."

"Although there have been no real problems so far, since Mr. Chang wants to keep a low profile in the electronics industry, he should not only consider foreign countries, but also pay more attention when doing things domestically, or rather , on the contrary, we should pay more attention at home..."

Although he and Chang Haonan had business dealings, they had not had many private interactions in the past. He only knew that the latter was excellent in research, but he did not know the role Chang Haonan played in a series of past events.

That's why there is such a reminder.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Chang Haonan naturally knew that the other party had good intentions, and nodded to express his understanding:

"Besides, I have experience in dealing with this kind of thing."

Obviously, in the current timeline, due to his series of twists and turns, Dream Group encountered development obstacles in China early on.

It is only a matter of time before a conflict occurs.

Before China truly became the world's factory, the functions played by companies like Dream Group were generally positive.

After all, even if it is an assembly factory, assembling electronic products belongs to the high-tech field and is definitely a valuable industry for China at this stage.

However, when China is no longer satisfied with being the world's factory, these companies that have been used to making money as factories have turned into a dragging role.

This is a structural contradiction.

The more things he does and the greater the role he plays, the sooner China will develop upstream in the international industrial division of labor.

It would be contrary to the interests of the comprador group.

This is actually the same as when he wanted to develop independent aviation industry standards a few years ago, but was blocked by a group of people.
