Chapter 411: When a crowd speaks, three people become a tiger
Tong Lan exchanged information with several other media outlets for this interview to determine the general direction and content of this interview.
There are a total of five media this time, including two from Hong Kong. In addition to Asia Weekly, there is also one who was the first to report Donglin Hi-Tech news among Hong Kong media and was also Li Donglin's "mouse" Phoenix TV station where the title "King" comes from.
The other three media are domestic media, Binh Duong Daily, Hanxi Provincial City Daily, and Continental Science and Technology News.
The main force of the exclusive interview is Asia Weekly. After all, in name, Li Donglin is accepting an exclusive interview with Asia Weekly this time, and Binh Duong Daily is Tanglin Hi-Tech's "own person". If asked about some sensitive topics, Binh Duong People from the daily newspaper were responsible for the rescue.
Although Li Dongling was being interviewed today, executives from Dongling Hi-Tech were also present. Ren Yuefeng and Su Chicheng successively confirmed the topic of today's interview with Tong Lan.
"Mr. Li!"
"Ms. Tong!"
Li Dongling came to the interview room and shook hands with Tong Lan and the reporters present.
Looking at Li Dongling in front of her, Tong Lan could not help but be a little surprised by Li Dongling's age even though she had already expected it.
Especially before she interviewed Li Dongling, she had already interviewed 19 of the top 20 richest people in Asia. Because of this, the contrast was even more intense.
After re-confirming the interview team, Tong Lan took the lead in starting the conversation. Whether it was an exclusive interview or an interview, it was the usual routine. At the beginning, the relationship was established first before going deeper.
“I’m very happy that Mr. Li can accept our exclusive interview!”
Tong Lan looked at Li Dongling and said, “Actually, we also interviewed another person who was on the board of directors this year. The female figure on the cover of our Asia Weekly, President Ning Wenke, mentioned Mr. Li many times in an exclusive interview with Asia Weekly.” , there are only a few this year, and Ning Wen is one of them. In addition, Shen Yunjun, the winner of this year’s Super Girl, is also on the cover. This is the most popular person in domestic entertainment in Asia this year, no one!
Ning Wen may be on the cover because the Ning family has been so fierce in Hong Kong City in recent years, not much worse than the old companies in Hong Kong City, not to mention that Ning Wen is in charge of Ning's Trading Company as a woman. , which is quite rare in Hong Kong cities and even Southeast Asia.
In Hong Kong City, Treasure Island and other places, it has begun to spread that Ning Wenke should be married as a wife. Whoever marries Ning Wenke will save thirty years of hard work. After all, this generation of the Ning family is the best choice for Ning Wenke. If Wen Ke marries her alone, won't he get a fortune as big as the Ning family? !
Ning Wenke can take over the mess of the Ning family in a crisis, and can pull the Ning family out of the quagmire, and even move it to a higher level. Coupled with Ning Wenke's good looks, she doesn't have to worry about losing her family property. She could also bring back the Ning family's dowry, so she naturally became the ideal daughter-in-law that many wealthy families in Hong Kong wanted to take home.
"Donngling Hi-Tech and Gangcheng Ning's Trading Company are strategic partners. Mr. Ning and I are already old acquaintances. Now we have phone calls every week!" Hearing Tong Lan mention Ning Wenke , Li Dongling said with a smile.
“Just a partner?!”
Tong Lan asked Li Dongling with some meaning. She clearly remembered the look on Ning Wenke's face when she talked about Li Dongling when she interviewed Ning Wenke. She was both a woman and a journalist. Observing words and colors is a basic function, and you are most sensitive to this.
Several reporters on the side also pricked up their ears. The Hong Kong media entertainment industry is developed, gossip news is popular, and it is the birthplace of shock media. It dares to arrange anything, but the current domestic entertainment industry is not so The scale is large, and Li Dongling doesn't often appear in front of the media. There are really not as many gossips about Li Dongling and Ning Wenke as there are in the Hong Kong media.
Seeing Tong Lan's expression, Li Dongling thought of Ning Wenke. Although Ning Wenke came to Hanxi only a few times a year, she never stopped talking to Li Dongling.
But on this occasion, talking too much may not be a good thing for Dongling Hi-Tech and Ning's Trading Company.
"Donngling Hi-Tech will have deeper cooperation with Ning's Trading Company in the future, and it will continue. My relationship with President Ning will always be like this!"
Seeing that Li Dongling couldn't find any breaking news, Tong Lan didn't ask any more questions. After all, Asia Weekly was not a paparazzi gossip, and it was impossible to look at Xia San Road to dig up news.
“Actually, media in Hong Kong cities, such as Phoenix Chinese Channel,” Tong Lan gestured to the Phoenix TV reporter on the side, “There are also many media in Hong Kong cities and Southeast Asia that have been focusing on Southeast Asia a long time ago. Dongling Hi-tech reported on it. "
"But the development of Dongling Hi-tech still exceeded everyone's expectations. This year, Mr. Li, you have officially entered the top 20 richest people in Asia, and you are the only one. , listed as the founder of a technology company, not in traditional industries such as real estate, banking, insurance, shipping, rubber, and sugar.
What do you think of this ranking? After a while, he asked Li Dongling his first formal question.
"Thank you Asia Weekly, but this is just a fluke. There are many excellent companies in Asia, maybe they just haven't received attention yet!"
Li Dongling did not belittle traditional industries. Traditional industries seem to make money slowly, but basically They are the kind of companies that have existed for decades and may continue to exist for decades in the future. Li Dongling does not want to create a group of rivals for no reason.
“But the future is an era of technology. Electronics, the Internet, biotechnology, etc. will all usher in an explosion. These industries will create more young rich people. Perhaps one day, a new Asia’s top 20 will appear. Rich, he will be younger and worth more!" Li Dongling said with a smile.
These words made Tong Lan and several people around chuckle. In the future, there may be one of the top 20 richest men in Asia, but his net worth is higher than Li Dongling and he is younger than Li Dongling. He can be defeated. Well, unless that person has inherited his father’s worth!
Otherwise, if there is another first-generation founder like Li Dongling, who started from scratch and rose step by step, Tong Lan and others will not believe it at all, at least the younger generation in Hong Kong City, Japan, and Southeast Asia. They can't see such a ruthless person.
Only in this era of reckless tyranny in China, in an era of drastic social changes, coupled with changes in the international environment, can such opportunities exist. Otherwise, it would not be possible at all. If it were common, Hong Kong media and even Baodao, Japan, and Singapore would have such opportunities. Will other places pay so much attention to the domestic market?
"Mr. Li, what do you think of the other people on the Asian Rich List? The nineteen people on the list I interviewed all spoke highly of Mr. Li, and several of them are certain about their future. The candidate for the richest man in Asia must be you, Mr. Li!"
Tong Lan still asked this question, and the reporter from Phoenix TV signaled the photographer who came with the team to take a close-up of Li Dongling's face.
Hearing this poisonous milk, Li Dongling also knew that he could not avoid this question. Even if he was not asked this time, he would definitely be asked in the future.
“They are all seniors of Asian companies and representatives of their respective industries. They all have something worthy of learning from those who come after us. Compared with the companies they established, Tanglin Hi-Tech still has a long way to go!”
Li Dongling answered calmly, but Tong Lan was obviously not prepared to let Li Dongling off easily on this issue, and continued to ask, "Mr. Li, in his opinion, which company established by the top 20 richest people in Asia is the best in Asia?" Company?”
“They are all the best companies in Asia, otherwise how could they appear on Asia Weekly’s wealth list?”
Li Dongling turned his back on Tong Lan. Somewhat speechless, Li Dongling continued, "Whether it is the Yangtze River Li family, Hongji boss Guo, Asia World boss Zheng, etc., they all have their own unique way of getting to where they are today. Dongling Hi-Tech hopes to have the opportunity. Cooperate with them! "
When Tong Lan heard this, she felt that Li Dongling was fooling her, but Li Dongling really didn't fool her.
Next year, Li Dongling is indeed planning to get involved in the listing of British Orange Telecom invested by the Yangtze Li family. Regardless of whether the Yangtze Li family agrees, Dongling Hi-Tech will get a part of the equity of Orange Telecom. When you sell hundreds of millions of oranges, a share must belong to Tanglin Hi-Tech!
"Mr. Li, will Dongling High-tech Association join hands with Ning's Trading Company to acquire Gangcheng Telecommunications Company, a subsidiary of Dadong Company?"
This question Tong Lan suddenly asked made Li Dongling surprised. Not to mention Ren Yuefeng, Hu Huxian and others who were on the side, Pingyang Daily, Hanxi Provincial City Daily, and Continental Science and Technology News were also extremely surprised.
When they communicated with Tong Lan before, they had no idea that Tong Lan had said that she would ask about PHS, but she didn't say that she was asking this question!
But looking at Tong Lan's expression and the posture of the Phoenix TV interview team, it was obvious that she was not joking.
When Li Dongling heard this question, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. He heard Ning Wenke mention a few words about Hong Kong Telecom. There was speculation in the Hong Kong media, but Li Dongling was really not prepared to acquire it. Hong Kong City Telecommunications Company, at least, had no such plan before.
Hong Kong City Telecom is a hard nut, with complex relationships behind it, and there are too many opponents who want to swallow it up. It will take a lot of money to win it down!
“There is news from the Hong Kong media that the Hong Kong City Telecommunications Authority has been reluctant to issue a telecommunications license to Ning’s Trading Company. It is difficult for PHS base stations and PHS to enter the Hong Kong City market. Therefore, Tanglin Hi-tech intends to join hands with Ning's Trading Company to acquire the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company!"
Tong Lan was still reserved and did not report what the Hong Kong gossip media said. Ning Wenke smiled, Li Dongling planned to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom.
But it is true that the delay in PHS entering Hong Kong City is inseparable from the Hong Kong City Telecommunications Company. After all, if everyone uses PHS mobile phones, then who will use the landline lines of Hong Kong City Telecom?
This is related to Hong Kong City Telecom's annual revenue of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Hong Kong City Telecom definitely wants to build its own base stations and occupy the mobile communication market. It is not willing to be cheap and act as an agent for Hong Kong City PHS base stations. Ning's Trading Company with PHS!
