Chapter 245 Borrowing a Knife
Song Luancheng looked at Yang Bohua in shock. He did not expect that Yang Bohua would make such a proposal.
“It’s not like a dragon can’t cross the river!”
“Ning’s Trading Company is a local company in Hong Kong City. If something happens to Hong Kong City Telecommunications, Dadong Telegraph Company really wants to sell it overseas. The company is acquired by Ning's Trading Company, which is perfect!"
Yang Bohua stood up and took a few steps around the office, "The Ning family's strength in Hong Kong City is not enough to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom, but if Tanglin Hi-tech enters Hong Kong City with the help of Ning Family, and may not have a chance to win Hong Kong City Telecommunications! ”
Mainland China Telecom is a state-owned company. As Hong Kong City is about to return to the land of China, if China Telecom makes a big move to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom, it will inevitably arouse criticism and public opinion.
Except for a number of state-owned companies, there are only a few companies in mainland China that have the strength to intervene in the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom, and Tanglin Hi-Tech is definitely one of them!
With the reputation of Dongling High-tech, coupled with the support of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau and telecommunications companies, it is not difficult to obtain bank loans. In the previous life, Yingke Power, the second son of the Yangtze Li family, was acquired by Dadong Telegraph Company in Hong Kong City Telecommunications , at the critical moment when it was about to be sold to Singapore Telecom, within a dozen days, it obtained tens of billions of dollars in loans without using any collateral, and snatched Hong Kong City Telecom from Sing Telecom.
If the Li family of Yangtze River can do it, is it possible that the Li family of Tanglin Hi-Tech cannot do it?
Song Luancheng nodded after listening to Yang Bohua's words. If Dongling High-tech takes action, there is a real chance for Ning's Trading Company to win the equity of Gangcheng Telecom!
"However, I'm afraid we still need to reach an agreement with Dongling High-tech on this matter. The amount of money it will cost to acquire Gangcheng Telecom is an astronomical figure!"
Song Luancheng said, and after the acquisition, Gangcheng Telecom will No one knows what the future of Telecom will be like. It may become a cash cow, or it may become a mess and a big burden. No one knows whether Li Dongling is willing to let Dongling Hi-Tech intervene in this acquisition.
Yang Bohua hesitated for a moment, then nodded. If something happened to Gangcheng Telecom, he would certainly want Tanglin High-tech to intervene, but whether Tanglin High-tech would intervene still depends on Li Dongling’s wishes. Even if Since he was promoted to Yanjing, he could only give suggestions and could not influence Dongling Hi-Tech.
“I hope that nothing will happen to Hong Kong Telecom, otherwise this matter may still fall on us!”
Yang Bohua had no choice but to smile bitterly at Song Luancheng, who asked PHS now? Having completed overseas studies and had overseas experience, they As someone who strongly promotes PHS in China, he is naturally the person with the "most rich experience". When it comes to communication companies outside mainland China like Hong Kong City Telecom, whether it is the Post and Telecommunications Bureau or other departments, he will definitely look to Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng with their overseas experience. "Rich" people come to deal with trouble.
...
“UTStarcom must enter the PHS mobile phone market. Mobile phones in the mainland and even in Southeast Asia are beginning to collapse!”
The atmosphere inside the UTStarcom headquarters in Yanjing The extremely solemn and bearded Starcom founder Wu Ying said to UTStarcom President Lu Hongliang and several UTStarcom founders with a solemn face.
UTStarcom is actually the merger of UT and Starcom. The founders are Wu Ying and Xue Cunhe of Starcom, Lu Hongliang and Huang Xiaoqing of Unitech, and Another one.
Now that the merged UTStarcom is in power, Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang respectively represent the two companies.
Lu Hongliang is no unknown person. When he was in America, he worked with SoftBank Masayoshi Son and made his first pot of gold.
When Starcom was established, he also took Wu Ying and others to Japan to meet Masayoshi Son. He claimed that he got 30 million US dollars from Son within six minutes. SoftBank is now Starcom. Dakang is the major shareholder holding 30% of the shares.
Does this rumor sound familiar to you? Yes, this rumor has also appeared about Boss Alima.
It is unknown what the rumors are about that Arima boss got 20 million US dollars from Son Zhengyi in half an hour.
But Sun Zhengyi’s investment in UTStarcom cannot be said to have been negotiated by Wu Ying alone. Lu Hongliang and Sun Zhengyi have known each other for a long time, and they are also Sun Zhengyi’s seniors. When they were in Canada, they worked together to import game consoles, arcade machines, and game discs from Japan and sell them to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc. in America, and then shared the profits with these places 50-50. The two of them earned a million dollars in half a year. .
Last year, Masayoshi Son completely achieved financial freedom. SoftBank was successfully listed and its market value exceeded US$3 billion. His personal worth also exceeded US$1 billion.
After becoming famous and unwilling to be lonely, Masayoshi Son also started his buying and selling career. Companies such as Yahoo and UTStarcom are all the investment products of Masayoshi Son after he achieved financial freedom.
But it would be ridiculous to say that Masayoshi Son doesn’t care about the company at all, but just relies on his feelings and invests money when he likes it. In fact, as soon as SoftBank went public, Masayoshi Son raised a large sum of U.S. dollars through loans and stock issuance, and invested in the information publishing company Davis Company, as well as the International Computer Show Company, which is mainly engaged in exhibition business.
Davis Company's magazines include Popular Aviation, PC Magazine, People and Cars Magazine, etc., while International Computer Exhibition Company has the best computer exhibitions in the world. right.
Through these two companies, Sun Zhengyi has almost mastered information about America and even overseas industry intelligence. He knows which company owns what, who has the best technology, and who is the technical master.
The decision to invest in Yahoo was recommended to Sun Zhengyi by Davis Company. Otherwise, America is so big, how could Sun Zhengyi directly find Yahoo, which is still in the grassroots team, to invest!
Later, SoftBank won the exclusive sales rights of Apple mobile phones in Japan, which was inseparable from the support of this intelligence system. Otherwise, how could Son Masayoshi be foreseeing everything? If it was so outrageous, he would not The success rate in other projects is less than 20%, and the money earned from Yahoo and Alibaba has been filled in the holes.
At the meeting held by UTStarcom at this moment, not only were founders such as Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang present, but the conference call on the table showed that Masayoshi Son in Japan was also listening to the meeting. Meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn. Lu Hongliang and others did not speak. After all, transformation is not that easy. What is UTStarcom's main business now? It is very similar to what Lu Hongliang did in America, which is buying and selling. They imported mobile phones from Motorola and other companies and sold them domestically at a higher price. Since the establishment of UTStarcom, they have made tens of millions of dollars through reselling.
I originally thought that this kind of profit-making business could still make a steady profit, but who knew that PHS suddenly came out, which put UTStarcom in an embarrassing situation.
“You want UTStarcom to transform into a PHS mobile phone?!”
The voice came from the phone on the table. It was obviously Masayoshi Son of SoftBank. Open your mouth.
“Yes!”
Wu Ying said that in order for Starcom to complete its transformation, it must have the support of its major shareholder SoftBank.
“I think PHS mobile phones from PHS will have a huge market, but they are far from reaching the limit now!”
“I know that PHS is also very popular in Japan. Now Japan’s PHS phones are very popular. The number of PHS users has exceeded one million!" Sun Zhengyi said, with a hint of appreciation for PHS.
But Lu Hongliang interrupted Wu Ying at this time, "But the PHS market is not so easy to enter. The patents, technologies, and key components are all in the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech, the parent company of PHS. Dongling Hi-Tech How could UTStarcom be allowed to enter this industry so easily? ”
The PHS mobile phone is now a gold mine, and everyone can see that this gold mine must be held tightly. How could it be possible for others to dig it.
“But no matter what means we use, whether we spend money to buy patent licenses from Dongling Hi-Tech, or even if we make copycats, we must do it, otherwise UTStarcom will be dead!” Wu Ying said said.
His purpose in holding this meeting is very simple, that is, he wants to get the support of Masayoshi Son. He also hopes that SoftBank can provide another sum of money to buy the patent license of PHS from Donglin Hi-Tech and allow UTStarcom to enter this industry.
"Then let's talk to Dongling Hi-Tech, and we must continue to do this no matter what!" Sun Zhengyi didn't waste any more time. He listened to the meeting and didn't want to waste too much time, and then hung up. Telephone.
With the support of Sun Zhengyi, the major shareholder, Wu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
......
In Pingyang, Western Han Dynasty, Li Dongling also came out of the headquarters of Dongling High-Tech to greet a group of people who were coming in a long and dusty way.
"Director Chen, thank you for your hard work!" Li Dongling extended his hand to the visitor.
