Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1018 Burning bridges across rivers?

After hearing what Nakamura Weifu said, the executives of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company in front of him all looked respectful.

The current Nakamura Suio is more domineering and arrogant than before. Now no one in Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company dares to oppose Nakamura Suio.

Of course, in the eyes of the senior executives of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, President Nakamura Yui was not arrogant but a master strategist.

Now Nakamura Suio's name is even more famous than the four business saints of Japan. He is touted by the Japanese media as the man who will lead the Japanese economy out of its predicament!
It is easy to imagine how famous this name is. After acquiring Xiaolingtong, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company owned the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of Xiaolingtong.

Now the market value of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation exceeds 180 billion US dollars, surpassing Toyota, Sony, Mitsubishi, Honda and other Japanese giants, and becoming the giant company with the highest market value in Japan!

Not only has it surpassed its rivals in Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, but its market value has also grown rapidly this year. It has now become one of the top five companies in the world by market value, second only to Microsoft, General Electric, Mobil and Walmart.

Today, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company has the largest fixed-line business in Japan, is the largest mobile phone operator in Japan, and is the largest mobile phone manufacturer in Japan and the third largest in the world.

The entire Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company can be described in one sentence: it is booming. The revenue is estimated to break the record of US$96 billion next year when the income from PHS mobile phones is included!

Previously, both the Japanese media and NTT executives including Nakamura Sueio were very optimistic that next year the market value of NTT would likely rank among the top three in the world, and even compete with Microsoft.

By then, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company will become the world's largest company by market value, and the PHS telecommunications standard and Xiaolingtong mobile phone may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to become the world's third largest communication standard alongside GSM and CDMA.

At that time, not only Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company will be able to make a fortune, but Nippon Benz, which controls the entire PHS industry chain, will also be able to make a fortune. Japan's technology industry may also be able to take the opportunity to complete its transformation!

It is no exaggeration to say that PHS is now related to Japan's national destiny. One can imagine how high the expectations of the Japanese cabinet and the entire Japanese society are for Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation and the PHS industry.

But now that Microsoft's market value has soared, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph's hope of catching up with Microsoft's market value has become slim, and Nakamura is certainly dissatisfied.

Now, what Nakamura Suou says is regarded as the truth in Japan. Anyone who dares to question Nakamura Suou will be criticized by the whole of Japan.

Some senior executives of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph who are good at flattery, no, who have a sense of historical responsibility, have begun collecting Nakamura Suio's quotations. When the time comes, they will compile them and publish a book called "The Man Who Changed the Destiny of Nippon". By then, won't Nakamura Suio be directly deified?
What are the four business saints, Konosuke Matsushita, Soichiro Honda, Akio Morita, and Kazuo Inamori, qualified to be compared with Suio Nakamura?
How can mortals spy on gods?

After acquiring Xiaolingtong from Dongling Hi-Tech, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company has been in full swing. Given the current performance of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, what's wrong with Nakamura Yuio being a little arrogant and domineering?
“How can Microsoft’s acquisition of the Stargazing Video Recorder be compared to President Nakamura’s acquisition of PHS?

Your decision to acquire Xiaolingtong is the greatest operation I have ever seen in my fifteen years of working in the industry. The fate of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, and even the entire Nippon, has changed because of your decision!"

A senior executive of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph complimented Nakamura Wei.

Hearing this, Nakamura Weifu knew that this was flattering him, but he still couldn't help but smile.

But then, Nakamura stopped smiling, and said with a tone of disdain and helplessness, "Microsoft acquired a piece of junk like Stargazing, and its market value increased so much. Those Wall Street institutions are greedy in such an ugly way!"

"The key point is that no one expected that Dongling Hi-Tech could reach such a deal with Microsoft..."

An executive of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company couldn't help but say.

Whether it is Microsoft or Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, one of them ranks first in the world in market value, and the other ranks fifth in market value, but they both have close ties with Dongling Hi-Tech in Hanxi.

The stock price started to soar after acquiring Dongling Hi-Tech’s products. Who could have imagined that a mainland technology company could influence the market value of the top five giant companies in the world!
"However, by next year, the sales volume of Xiaolingtong will surpass Motorola and become the world's second largest mobile phone. Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company will be able to enter markets such as Pakistan, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia.

There is a chance that the market value of BT&T will surpass that of Microsoft on that day!"

Another Nippon Telephone and Telegraph executive said rather optimistically.

After acquiring Xiaolingtong, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company immediately started a price reduction promotion mode, which led to a new round of surge in Xiaolingtong sales!

What Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company cares most about is not the sales volume of PHS mobile phones, but how much profit it can bring to the company.

Instead, how many new telecom users can be brought to NTT by using Xiaolingtong? The revenue brought to NTT by a new telecom user is far greater than that from selling a mobile phone. After all, selling a mobile phone is a one-time deal, and it is difficult to make a big profit after selling it. But it is different for telecom users. As long as they get a card, they have to pay monthly rent, phone bills, text message fees, and activate other services.

The revenue that a telecom user brings to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph in a year far exceeds the money earned from selling mobile phones.

In addition to new users, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company also used these new users as bargaining chips to continuously enter other overseas telecommunications companies, acquire them or invest in them.

This is also the fundamental reason why the stock price of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation has soared this year. It is because the outside world is not only optimistic about the sales of Xiaolingtong, but more importantly, it expects Nippon Telephone and Telegraph to become the world's largest telecommunications company!
Nakamura Suio nodded. He also believed that the sales of Xiaolingtong should continue to grow sharply next year. As for the possibility that the sales will not increase, Nakamura Suio has not thought about it yet.

After all, seeing that the sales of Xiaolingtong are in full swing, who would say that it will not sell well? Isn’t that nonsense?
"We should ask Dongling Hi-Tech to lower the production fee for PHS. According to the production scale of PHS, the profits taken by Dongling Hi-Tech are obviously abnormal!"

"Yes, we have had a professional accounting firm audit it. Dongling Hi-Tech's current profit from PHS manufacturing is more than 8%, while other PHS phone manufacturers in mainland China only make 5% or even 3%!"

"If Dongling Hi-Tech doesn't agree to lower the OEM price, then replace it!"

A number of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph executives complained that the OEM fee paid by Dongling Hi-Tech to Xiaolingtong was too high.

Although Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company acquired Xiaolingtong, according to the agreement between the two parties, the production of Xiaolingtong will still be outsourced to Dongling Hi-Tech for two years after the acquisition.

After all, Xiaolingtong accounts for a considerable portion of the profits of Dongling Hi-Tech's component industry chain manufacturers. These suppliers cannot be ignored, so a two-year transition period was set.

For two years, Xiaolingtong was still manufactured by Dongling Hi-Tech. Two years later, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company could find other manufacturers to produce it.

Nakamura Weifu listened to the words of his senior executives and felt somewhat moved, yet conflicted.

After all, the two sides are allies, and it has been less than a year since the transaction was completed. It would not look good if they were to fall out.

Moreover, to be honest, Nakamura Weifu was a little unsure about Dongling Hi-Tech. He was not sure what the consequences would be after falling out with Dongling Hi-Tech.

"We will discuss this matter next year!" said Nakamura Yufu. He will try Dongling Hi-Tech again after next year and ask it to reduce the OEM fee for PHS!
……

"Microsoft is buying Stargazing Video Recorders for $3.5 billion?"

Bashu is currently the largest television manufacturer in the inland, and may even be the largest television manufacturer in the world. Within Changhong Company, Mr. Ni, the godfather of Changhong, was surprised when he heard the news.

Changhong's current status in Fucheng is the same as that of Dongling Hi-Tech in Pingyang. There are two sayings in Fucheng. The first is that there is nothing trivial for Changhong. The second is that in Fucheng, there is nothing that Changhong cannot do, only things that Changhong does not want to do.

Changhong wanted to launch a color TV production line. Fucheng, which had only 20 million in its pocket, tightened its belt to support Changhong with 10 million. Changhong wanted land, so Fucheng gave Changhong 800,000 square meters of land. Because the road was blocked, Fucheng built the road and opened a bus stop in three months.

When Changhong televisions could not be transported due to insufficient railway capacity in Fucheng, Fucheng simply renovated the railway station, and the Fucheng government personally contacted the railway boss to coordinate transportation capacity.

When Changhong submitted the report, the Fucheng government went to Changhong for a meeting to discuss the matter instead of inviting Boss Ni to the city.

When Changhong held its factory anniversary celebration, it was organized by the Fucheng Municipal Government Office. All traffic lights were turned green, so the road was unobstructed. The Traffic Bureau also maintained order, just to ensure that Changhong's factory anniversary celebration went smoothly and satisfied Changhong and its guests.

Of course, it is not just Dongling Hi-Tech and Changhong that receive this kind of treatment. Haier, Chunlan, Shuanghui and other companies in various places also receive the same treatment.

Because of Changhong's existence, Fucheng has been the second largest city in Bashu's economy for several consecutive years. As a result, the pockets of Fucheng government have become fatter and Fucheng government has gained credit.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in China nowadays. A giant company can become a city's famous brand. Hailing can grow from a county-level city to a prefecture-level city. It is unknown how much it is related to Chunlan, but it is definitely inseparable.

However, the domestic TV industry has become a mess, with domestic manufacturers competing with overseas manufacturers and with each other. Now Changhong's TV sales are constantly setting new historical highs, but profits are plummeting.

As a result, at this critical juncture, it was reported that Dongling Hi-Tech sold a product that was not well-known in China for 3.5 billion US dollars. In China, this news was no less than launching a satellite.

The domestic TV industry is almost in a state of disarray, but a company that does not produce TVs has made billions of dollars by selling TV accessories. Is this reasonable?
