Chapter 1041 Returning favors
The world is not black and white, and there are no eternal enemies.

The world is bustling with people all because of profit. The world is bustling with people all because of profit. In this fight, Dongling Hi-Tech flexed its muscles to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, but it was impossible to expect to kill the opponent in one go.

Even if the mobile phone business of NTT was destroyed, the most that could happen was that NTT would withdraw from the mobile phone market.

But to be honest, keeping the mobile phone department of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is much more useful than getting rid of it!

With the existence of PHS, Japanese telephone and telegraph companies could only go all in on PHS technology, which suppressed Japanese mobile phone manufacturers and brought the entire Japanese telecommunications industry into a ditch.

Japan's technology is still in the stage of explosive growth, and Sony is famous all over the world. It is better for Japan's mobile phone industry to follow Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company and stay in the mountains than to jump out and cause trouble for Dongling Hi-Tech.

In Asia, Dongling Hi-Tech's competitors in the mobile phone industry are domestic peers, as well as Japanese and Korean mobile phone manufacturers. Currently, the threat from Japanese mobile phone manufacturers is much greater than that from Korean mobile phones.

Relying on Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, it was able to hold back various mobile phone competitors such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Kyocera, and Toshiba. It was really making a lot of money!
Even though the two sides had fallen out this time, Li Dongling still did not let Dongling Hi-Tech sell out its Nippon Benzene and Telegraph stocks.

Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is still profitable and pays out large dividends every year.

By holding these stocks, Dongling Hi-Tech always has the opportunity to influence the decision of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company.

From now on, if Dongling Hi-Tech's products want to enter the Japanese benzene market, they will still need the local boss, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company!

Even if one day, Japan finds that PHS technology has reached a dead end and can no longer go on, and starts to enter the GSM or CDMA industry, then Mr. Li can let NTT continue to be the agent for Dongling Hi-Tech's mobile phones to sell in Japan...

As for whether Nakamura Weifu is hurt or not, that is not something Dongling Hi-Tech needs to consider, after all, Li Dashan is a kind-hearted person.

As long as Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company paid a penalty of US$300 million and increased the manufacturing fee for PHS, it would agree to some "small" conditions from Dongling Hi-Tech.

For example, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company introduced Feiyan MP3 and Shenzhou computer products to sell in Nippon, so Dongling Hi-Tech is still willing to "forgive" Nippon!
Japan's record and music player market is a big piece of fat, but it is quite conservative and has always been a market for vinyl records, CDs, and tapes.

Even when the Internet emerged, CDs, like floppy disks, had a very long lifespan in Japan.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Japan is still one of the markets with the strongest consumption power in the world. It is profitable for Feiyan MP3 to sell a few units in Japan.

The key is not how many Feiyan MP3 machines can be sold in Japan, but that Japan is now the trend vane in Asia.

Things that are popular in Japan can easily become popular in other parts of Asia. If the Feiyan MP3 can be sold in Japan, it will be easy to sell in other markets.

This is just like the influence of the Russians in Central Asia. After the Soviet Union fell, the Russians took over the Soviet Union's territory and influence. In many places, they still play the role of the big brother.

In the past, when domestic cars were expanding into the Russian automobile market, sales began to soar in Central Asia and other places. If they were accepted by the Russians, they would be accepted by other markets in Central Asian countries.

In these years, including the next decade, Japan still had an influence in Asia similar to that of the Russians, and then it was gradually replaced by domestic countries.

Popular domestic TV series, movies, games, electronic products, etc. are beginning to become popular in Southeast Asia.

As for now, Dongling Hi-Tech still needs Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company as a guide!

Dongling Hi-Tech has always been "convincing people with reason" and is willing to give Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company a chance to correct its mistakes.

"This time, Dongling Hi-Tech will provide corresponding support to the parts suppliers and dealers supported by Dongling Hi-Tech in the future!"

Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao and others, "You need to repay a favor!"
It is also for the sake of profit that these parts suppliers and distributors stand on the side of Dongling Hi-Tech, but a gentleman judges by deeds, not by intentions.

Now that these suppliers and distributors support Dongling Hi-Tech, Dongling Hi-Tech must reward them. Otherwise, next time, when the beacon fires are lit, who will come to defend the king?

Li Dongling did not say how to deal with those fence-sitters, but Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao and others already knew the attitude of the great philanthropist Li.

There is no need to tell those fence-sitters and suppliers and distributors who have defected to the enemy directly that you will not purchase their products or allow them to be your agents.

As long as the cooperation agreement expires, and Dongling Hi-Tech does not renew the contract and does not hand over the agency rights of the new products to these fence-sitters, they will know Dongling Hi-Tech's attitude, and more people will know it. Dongling Hi-Tech has recorded it in its little notebook!
……

Zhou Zhengyang, who was sitting in the reception room, heard footsteps outside, followed by a group of people passing by the reception room.

When passing by the reception room, Zhou Zhengyang looked at the people opposite him. He saw that these people looked at him with different expressions.

Some seemed to be showing goodwill, some looked at him with inquiring eyes, and some looked at him with helplessness. Zhou Zhengyang followed a group of people and they all looked at each other.

Du Qishan, who had just come to the reception room, returned to the reception room. "Mr. Zhou, General Manager Li wants you to come over!" Zhou Zhengyang nodded and followed Du Qishan into an office. The office was not very large and was decorated in a simple, modern style typical of the technology industry.

Instead of the large mahogany table in traditional companies, there is a banner with a picture of mountains and flowing water, or a picture of a tiger descending a mountain, which is meant to highlight the majesty of the person sitting inside.

Zhou Zhengyang even saw that there was a dart board and other things in there. He looked around Mr. Li’s office without making a sound.

"Zhou Zhengyang!"

Zhou Zhengyang handed a copy of his own information to Li Dongling.

After Li Dongling received the information, he first asked Zhou Zhengyang, "What would you like to drink?"

After saying that, Li Dongling tapped his forehead with his fingers, as if he had just remembered something, "I forgot, Lao Zhou, you like tea, this tea has to be tasted by you, otherwise it would be a waste!"

Li Dongling took out an unpackaged box from the office cabinet and personally made a cup of tea for Zhou Zhengyang.

As a tea ceremony expert, Zhou Zhengyang knew just by smelling the tea that this tea was probably the top quality tea in the country, the kind that could not be bought on the market.

But what Zhou Zhengyang cared about was not the tea, but the fact that Li Dongling knew that he liked to drink tea, which meant that he must have done a background check on him. Zhou Zhengyang even suspected that his background had already been thoroughly investigated.

“Good tea!”

Zhou Zhengyang took a sip and couldn't help but speak.

"It's rare to meet someone who is good at tea ceremony. You can take this tea back and taste it slowly!"

Li Dongling pushed the box of tea in front of Zhou Zhengyang. The tea was sent by Wu Yaoguo, the manager of Hanxi Guotou.

Even someone like Wu Yaoguo, who has extensive connections in Hanxi Province, can only get less than ten boxes of this tea a year, so he knows whether the tea is good or not.

Li Dongling had naturally conducted a comprehensive background check on Zhou Zhengyang. It could even be said that the information he checked was several times more detailed than the information Zhou Zhengyang had.

Many past events that Zhou Zhengyang might have forgotten long ago were discovered by Li Dongling through a background check agency.

The people who have worked with Zhou Zhengyang have the greatest impression of him, that he is extremely capable, but too upright. In the eyes of others, he becomes stubborn and cannot tolerate any flaws. He handles everything in a fair and impartial manner according to the rules, and there is no possibility of any compromise in his hands.

This kind of colleague is actually not very popular with colleagues and superiors, so he is not very popular.

During the years he was in the Economic Procuratorate, he was basically never promoted, but he handled quite a few major cases and had a lot of people who hated him.

Li Dongling looked at the scar on Zhou Zhengyang's forehead. This was when he was handling a smuggling case. On his way home from get off work, Zhou Zhengyang was suddenly attacked by unidentified people. The other party wanted to give Zhou Zhengyang a warning, but Zhou Zhengyang finally handled the case under pressure and sent a group of people in to eat steamed buns.

"How is Mrs. Zhou's condition now?" Li Dongling asked directly.

Zhou Zhengyang, who had worked in the Economic Procuratorate for many years, resigned a few years ago and joined an accounting firm of a foreign company. The reason for this was that Zhou Zhengyang's wife was seriously ill.

Zhou Zhengyang could remain unmoved in front of other people, even if a knife was placed on his neck, he would not bend down. But he could not remain indifferent in front of his wife and children.

By joining the accounting firm, Zhou Zhengyang's salary will increase, which can alleviate some of the pressure on his wife's medical expenses.

“It’s still stable at the moment!”

When talking about his wife, Zhou Zhengrong, who usually has a serious face, also showed a hint of sadness.

Looking at Zhou Zhengyang, Li Dongling stopped beating around the bush and said, "I invited you here this time to serve as the head of the Dongling Hi-Tech Disciplinary Committee. What do you think?"

"From now on, the Disciplinary Committee will be responsible for the audit and supervision of Tanglin Hi-Tech's internal accounts, supplier contract audits, as well as employee embezzlement, technology leaks, counter-espionage, etc."

This is an offensive job. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. No one who doesn't have some courage dares to be the head of the disciplinary committee.

But Zhou Zhengyang was not worried about this. The people who needed to be audited and supervised right now were mainly the people within Dongling Hi-Tech. Even if they were desperate, there was still the danger of someone trying to hit him with a dump truck when he was in the Economic Procuratorate.
Zhou Zhengyang was not afraid. What he cared about was how far Li Dongling would allow him to go and how much authority he could give him. If he was just scratching the surface and the people caught in the investigation were dealt with in a light manner, then even if the treatment given by Dongling Hi-Tech was very attractive to him, Zhou Zhengyang did not want to accept this charity.
