Chapter 413 The Butterfly Effect
At night, Liu Tao was watching the seven o'clock news.
Every day he would take time to watch the seven o'clock news.
Whether it was international news or domestic news, whether it was central government orders or local people's livelihood, the seven o'clock news was the most authoritative publishing agency.
At this time, an international news was being reported, that is, the US Department of Commerce and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan, after more than a year of wrangling, officially signed the "US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement".
Liu Tao's butterfly effect was very obvious. In this regard, the United States increased pressure and forced Japan to sign this agreement.
The most important reason for this is that Intel's current situation is far less prosperous than in another time and space.
In another time and space, the PC of 1 company opened up the personal computer craze, which led to a surge in the sales of X86 series processors and created huge profits for Intel.
But in this life, X86 has long been stillborn. Intel's original profit source lies in the memory business, but now the memory business has also been greatly squeezed.
This makes Intel's life very difficult.
Although Intel is not the largest semiconductor company in the United States, its influence in the semiconductor field in the United States is something that many other peers cannot catch up with. Robert Noyce, one of the three founders of Intel, is even known as the 'Father of Silicon Valley'.
When Intel mobilized the power of the entire Silicon Valley to put pressure on the US government in order to survive, the efficiency of the White House immediately improved.
The main content of this US-Japan semiconductor agreement is to set the export prices of six varieties of Japanese semiconductors to the United States and third countries, so as to prevent Japanese companies from dumping at low prices.
Liu Tao shook his head slightly. In fact, this is just picking the soft persimmon.
Compared with Chinese semiconductors, there is no doubt that Japanese semiconductors are easier to control.
There is no way. One is the owner and the other is the dog. It is too easy for the owner to control the pet dog.
In this wave, the biggest beneficiary is definitely not the United States, but Chinese semiconductors!
Since the overall situation in Hong Kong has been determined and the 1987 timetable has come out, under the promotion of Liu Tao, Hong Kong's economic structure is undergoing transformation.
It is no longer like before, all madly rushing to real estate.
With Huaxia Semiconductor, Hong Kong's electronics industry is developing very fast. Computers are not easy to play with, but game consoles and game cartridges are different, which has become an opportunity for many people.
Now Hong Kong's game industry is developing very rapidly, and the export of game consoles and game cartridges has increased year by year. Even now, Hong Kong's game industry has developed game discs.
The profits created by game cartridges and game discs for game companies are actually higher than those of game consoles.
Huaxia Semiconductor makes money from memory and other things, after all, these are inseparable from Huaxia Semiconductor.
In addition to the game industry, there is also the optical disc manufacturing industry.
Videotapes, cassettes, magnetic tapes, etc. are being rapidly replaced by optical discs. Hong Kong is the world's largest optical disc manufacturing base, or transit station, exported from Hong Kong to all parts of the world.
Liu Tao can foresee that after the signing of the "US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement", Japan will suffer a heavy blow in the development of the electronics industry.
He also became more and more determined in his judgment that the "Plaza Accord" will definitely happen, because the United States needs to suck blood to recover blood in order to get through the difficult period.
As for the target of blood sucking, looking around the world, there is no better place than Japan.
In the 7 o'clock news, the State Council issued a notice to implement the fiscal management system of "dividing tax types, determining revenue and expenditure, and grading and contracting" from this year.
This is a further measure of the state in terms of taxation.
It basically divides the central and local fiscal revenues according to the tax types, and divides its fiscal expenditures according to the affiliation. The local governments determine the expenditures based on the revenues, seek balance, and use the lump sum. It is a reform made on the basis of the original "dividing revenue and expenditure, grading and contracting" system after the "profit-to-tax" reform of state-owned enterprises.
In terms of taxation, the country is always changing and exploring.
For example, this year, a notice was issued on January 1, exempting new township enterprises from income tax on a regular basis. If there are still difficulties after the expiration of the period, they can continue to be exempted on a regular basis. The expenses used by township enterprises to subsidize social expenses can be listed before tax at 10% of the profit.
There is also the Interim Regulations on Urban Maintenance and Construction Tax issued on February 8, which requires that all units and individuals who pay product tax, value-added tax, and business tax are taxpayers of urban maintenance and construction tax. The tax rate in urban areas is 7%, the tax rate in counties and towns is 5%, and the tax rate in rural areas is 1%.
Liu Tao is not concerned about this tax, because Panshan Group currently implements a fixed tax rate, with military industry paying 10% of turnover and civilian industry paying 20% of turnover.
This tax rate will not be adjusted in the short term.
Because asking Panshan Group to pay taxes is too much in itself.
Look at which military industry enterprises in the country pay taxes, and which export earners don’t have a lot of preferential policies?
But the following news is related to Panshan Group.
That is the "Decision on Education System Reform". This document clarifies the measures, steps and objectives of education system reform, and proposes to implement nine-year compulsory education in a step-by-step manner, vigorously develop vocational and technical education, reform the enrollment plan and graduate allocation system of colleges and universities, and expand the autonomy of colleges and universities in running schools.
Panshan Group started to implement nine-year compulsory education several years ago. As a pilot unit, it has been exploring and exploring, and Panshan Group has many primary and secondary schools.
At present, there are five junior colleges and undergraduate colleges assigned to Panshan Group by China North Industries Corporation.
"It seems that the country has also seized the opportunity to invest more funds to cultivate more talents, seize opportunities, and attract more overseas funds to invest in China." Liu Tao whispered to himself.
This is a signal that the country will continue to expand the college entrance examination admission rate and cultivate more talents.
At the same time, it will promote the reform and development of education.
In this regard, Panshan Group is also suffering from a lack of talents.
Relying solely on its own training mechanism, it can only train qualified workers, but it is difficult to train a large number of excellent workers.
As for management talents and scientific research talents, it is difficult to cultivate them by themselves, and they have to rely on colleges and universities.
These two types of talents are very important. Management talents can better manage enterprises and departments, reduce unnecessary internal consumption, and allow enterprises to run smoothly. Scientific research talents represent the vitality of enterprises and determine the present and future of enterprises.
The importance of talent is beyond doubt.
This can be seen from the college students assigned to Panshan Group in recent years. These college students have received systematic education in school and are easily trained to become talents when they arrive at Panshan Group. The success rate is very high.
Some of these people have even become middle-level cadres and have great potential.
