Reborn since 1993

Chapter 245 Borrowing a Knife
Song Luancheng looked at Yang Bohua in shock, never expecting that Yang Bohua would make such a proposal.

"It's not like the Raptors 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, and Dadong Telegraph Company really wants to sell it to an overseas company, it would be perfect for Ning's Trading Company to take over!"

Yang Bohua stood up and walked around the office for a few steps, "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 the Ning family, it may not have a chance to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom!"

Mainland China Telecom is a state-owned company. As Hong Kong City is about to return to the land of China, if China Telecom goes to great lengths to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom, it will inevitably arouse criticism and public opinion.

In addition to 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 Tanglin 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, owned by the second son of the Yangtze Li family, was sold to the Dadong Telegraph Company in Hong Kong City Telecom and was about to be sold to Singapore Telecom. At the critical moment, within a dozen days, it obtained tens of billions of dollars in loans without using any collateral, and snatched Hong Kong City Telecom from Singtel.

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 listened to Yang Bohua's words and nodded. 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 Tanglin Hi-Tech for this matter. The amount of money it will cost to acquire Gangcheng Telecom is an astronomical figure!"

Song Luancheng said, and after the acquisition, no one knows what the future of Gangcheng Telecom will be. It may become a cash cow, or it may become a mess and a big burden. Is Li Dongling willing to let Dongling Hi-Tech intervene in this acquisition? , no one knows.

Does this rumor sound familiar to you? Yes, this rumor has also appeared about Boss Alima.

Yang Bohua had no choice but to smile bitterly at Song Luancheng. Who made PHS complete its overseas expansion now and have overseas experience? As the people who strongly promote PHS in China, they are naturally the ones with the "most rich" experience when it comes to mainland China such as Hong Kong City Telecom. Communications companies outside the country, whether it be the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau or other departments, will definitely look to people like Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng who have "rich" overseas experience to deal with the problem.

When Starcom was established, he also took Wu Ying and others to Japan to meet Masayoshi Son. He claimed to have obtained US$30 million from Son within six minutes. SoftBank now holds % of Starcom's shares. major shareholder.

"I hope nothing happens to Hong Kong Telecom, otherwise this matter may still fall on us!"

Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang are now in charge of the merged UTStarcom on behalf of the two companies respectively.

The atmosphere inside the UTStarcom headquarters in Yanjing was extremely solemn. Wu Ying, the bearded founder of Starcom, said solemnly to UTStarcom President Lu Hongliang and several founders of UTStarcom.

But Sun Zhengyi’s investment in UTStarcom cannot be said to have been negotiated just by Wu Ying’s words. 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 America, they worked on UTStarcom together. Japan imported game consoles, arcade machines, and game discs and sold them to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc. in America. They then split the profits 50-50 with these places. The two of them earned a million dollars in half a year.

"UTStarcom must enter the PHS mobile phone market. Mobile phones in mainland China and even Southeast Asia are beginning to collapse!"

Lu Hongliang is no unknown person. When he was in America, he worked with SoftBank Masayoshi Son and made his first pot of gold.

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 one other person.

It is not known what the rumors were about that Arima boss got 20 million US dollars from Masayoshi Son in half an hour.

Yang Bohua hesitated for a moment, then nodded. If something happened to Gangcheng Telecom, he would certainly want Dongling High-tech to intervene, but whether Dongling High-tech would intervene would depend on Li Dongling's wishes, even if he was promoted to Yanjing. , I can only give suggestions and cannot influence Tanglin Hi-Tech.

……

Last year, Masayoshi Son completely achieved financial freedom. SoftBank was successfully listed and its market value exceeded US$30 billion. His personal worth also exceeded US$ 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 magazine magazines include Popular Aviation, PC Magazine, People and Cars Magazine, etc., while International Computer Exhibition Company has the right to organize the best computer exhibitions in the world.

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 a 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 so foreseeable? If it was so outrageous, he would not have the same success rate in other projects. Less than 20% is left, and all the money earned from Yahoo and Alibaba has gone into the hole.

At the meeting held at UTStarcom, not only were founders such as Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang present, but the conference phone on the table showed that Masayoshi Son in Japan was also listening to the meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and 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 was buying and selling, importing goods from Motorola and other companies. Big Brother sold it domestically at a higher price. Since the establishment of UTStarcom, it has made tens of millions by buying and selling.

I originally thought that this kind of profit-making business could still make a steady profit, but who knew that when PHS suddenly came out, UTStarcom was suddenly in an embarrassing situation.

"You want UTStarcom to transform into a PHS mobile phone?!"

The voice came from the phone on the table, and it was obviously SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son who was speaking.

"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 it is far from reaching its limit now!"

"I know PHS, and it is very popular in Japan. Now the number of PHS users in Japan has exceeded one million!" Sun Zhengyi said, with a hint of appreciation for PHS in his words.

But Lu Hongliang interrupted Wu Ying at this time, "But the PHS market is not that easy to enter. Patents, technologies, and key components are all in the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech, the parent company of PHS. How could Dongling Hi-Tech easily allow UT? Da Kang enters this industry?”

The PHS mobile phone is now a gold mine. Everyone can see that everyone must hold on to this gold mine. How can it be allowed to be mined by others.

"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.

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 Donglin High-tech. We must continue to do this no matter what!" Sun Zhengyi did not waste any more time. He listened to the meeting and did not want to waste too much time, and then hung up the phone.

With the support of Masayoshi Son, 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 Dongling High-tech Headquarters to greet a group of people who were coming after a long journey.

"Director Chen, thank you for your hard work!" Li Dongling extended his hand to the visitor.
