For the island city mayor Liu Yuqi, the rise of SAL company is an amazing miracle.

Unlike most senior officials, Mayor Liu Yuqi is an unbiased bureaucrat with a technical background. He is a master of communication engineering at Tsinghua University. He has gone from a research department under the Ministry of Information and Industry to a senior official at the deputy ministerial level, and then transferred to the second-in-chief of the Island City, a deputy provincial city.

After Sal's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business caused a domestic sensation, Mayor Liu also studied the company in depth, including several mainstream products launched by Sal, from voice input method to navigation instruments, brain wave psychic helmets, and then to new mobile phones. Mayor Liu asked his secretary to purchase actual products for trial.

To be honest, Mayor Liu was initially skeptical about the products of SAL. According to his understanding of domestic technical level, at this stage, the domestic product that is close to the mainstream international level is very, very excellent. For example, the IT industry wants to launch world-leading products, but the basic technical level is not yet supported.

However, the results of the trial made him completely overturn his original view.

Every product of SAL is almost a leading product in the new generation. Yes, according to Mayor Liu, this is not a local leading, but a comprehensive leading, and a speech recognition technology that reaches a completely practical level has subverted the human-computer interface of the entire product.

Unlike previous voice control concept products, SAL's voice control products have an almost impeccable recognition rate. With this technology alone, Mayor Liu judged that SAL will further develop and grow and enter a new product field.

From these products, I learned that behind all this was Duke, a technical genius who was said to be the closest to the Nobel Prize in China. Mayor Liu was moved. He had sent someone to contact SAL to try to bring SAL to the island city. However, since SAL concentrated on developing in Rongcheng at that time, and had no intention of going out, Mayor Liu had to give up his regrets.

This time, SAL's plan to acquire Feihong shares in the province was blocked. Cai Siqiang made a noise to go out of the province and acquire suitable targets nationwide. This news quickly spread through the financial industry. As soon as Mayor Liu received the news, he immediately sent his office director to come forward without hesitation and warmly invited Cai Siqiang to visit the island city.

There are two large home appliance companies in the island city now. However, they are one strong and the other weak. Although the weak one can still make do with it now, the situation is even stronger than Qifeihong Co., Ltd., it has never been able to break through in product upgrades and advance into the high-end mainstream market.

There is no way, technical breakthroughs are too difficult, especially the original technical foundation and accumulation are much weaker than competitors, so it is not easy to achieve overall breakthroughs. However, if there is no technological breakthrough, the products are in the industry and the later brands need to advance from the low-end to the high-end, which is obviously a dream.

But this weak one is still a state-owned holding company. Compared with the other city competitor with extremely complex property rights, the annual sales difference is dozens of times, which directly highlights the incompetence of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Therefore, after Mayor Liu took over the island city, he has been devoted to this company and hopes to support it, but two years have passed and the improvement is still not much.

There is no way. Not everyone has a powerful artifact like Duke and has the ability to turn stones into gold, so Mayor Liu urgently needs to introduce foreign funds and technology.

However, of course Cai Siqiang is not clear about these causes and effects. Since Island City is the first invited, let’s go there. Cai Siqiang also has some concepts about the home appliance company called Haisheng. The brand is considered a second-tier company. The key is that the plate is not big, with a total market value of more than 10 billion yuan. If you want to control the shares, it will be handled with more than 1 billion US dollars.

"Warm welcome to Sal President Cai Siqiang to visit the island city for inspection!" A long banner floated in the wind and got off the plane. Next to the banner, a tall figure was waiting with a group of people. Seeing Cai Siqiang appear together with Cai Linfeng, the director of the island city government office, appearing together, the tall middle-aged man enthusiastically stretched out his hand and walked towards Cai Siqiang, which made Cai Siqiang a little surprised.

"Mr. Cai, this is our Mayor Liu!" Cai Linfeng hurriedly introduced.

"Mayor Liu, Mr. Cai Siqiang, President of Sal, I'm here to invite you!" After Cai Linfeng introduced Cai Siqiang, he turned to report to Liu Yuqi.

"Oh, Mayor Liu, hello! Hello! How dare Cai take it?" Cai Siqiang immediately smiled and held Liu Yuqi's outstretched hand with both hands.

"Mr. Cai, welcome! Thank you all the hard work, please come here!" Mayor Liu also enthusiastically closed his hands, and made an appointment with Cai Siqiang for more than ten seconds before he separated, and gave Cai Siqiang and his group to the VIP car waiting on the side.

Mayor Liu was so enthusiastic that Cai Siqiang was a little flattered, but he would ask for something when he was given a courtesy. Thinking of this, Cai Siqiang was a little excited and a little vigilant.

Cai Siqiang and Mayor Liu got into the same car and headed straight to Shangri-La Hotel under the police car trail.

Only more than 20 kilometers from the airport to Shangri-La Hotel, Cai Siqiang and Mayor Liu exchanged greetings all the way and arrived at the hotel soon.

When Cai Siqiang got off the car and saw that a great guy hung a huge welcome speech on the Shangri-La Hotel building, "Warm welcome to Mr. Cai Siqiang, President of Saal Company, and his party came to the island city for investment inspection."

The dark front of the hotel was filled with people who were greeting, which made Cai Siqiang feel a little numb. This posture was so sincere. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to leave anything without leaving anything in the island city.

"This is our executive vice mayor Comrade Li Xikai. He is now mainly responsible for the work of the Industry and the SASAC. This is Comrade Liu Datong of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and this is Mr. Wei Zaishen, President of Haisheng..." Cai Siqiang followed Mayor Liu Yuqi, introduced and shook hands one by one, and basically everyone who had something to do with the acquisition negotiations was here.

It can be seen that Mayor Liu was very thoughtful at this point. First, he sent clear news to the people around him. The city attached great importance to this matter and warned the people below not to make any trouble. Second, he introduced relevant personnel to Cai Siqiang and established direct contacts to avoid poor communication in the middle.

It took almost ten minutes to introduce this circle, which made Cai Siqiang almost feel sore when he shook hands. Li Yuntian, the assistant to domestic affairs around him, was even more nervous. It was impossible for Cai to remember all the people, but he had to remember them. Du Chengyi had already been promoted, which was both an inspiration and a spur for Li Yuntian.

So while Mayor Liu introduced, Li Yuntian followed Cai Siqiang to record and distribute and collect the other party's business cards. When Mayor Liu finally finished the introduction, Li Yuntian was already tired and sweated a lot, and a thick stack of business cards was collected in his handbag.
