Reborn since 1993

Chapter 337 A sudden spring breeze comes overnight
Hearing Duan Yongji talking about Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech, Boss Liu, Zhang Yue and a few others nearby all felt deeply moved.

In their eyes, Dongling Hi-Tech is indeed "very special", and there is no reason to explain it. As an ally, they are of course happy to have such a company. Just look at BYD and BOE, which is also located in Yanjing!

BOE has now upgraded its business and is no longer a OEM for Panasonic because it simply cannot fill all its orders. Xiaolingtong mobile phones are now selling well both at home and abroad. As the screen supplier for Xiaolingtong mobile phones, BOE's orders for this year are already full.

For BOE, the question now is not whether it can get orders, but that there are too many orders and production capacity cannot keep up. BOE's STN screen production line is still being built, but the speed of building the production line is far behind the speed of increasing orders.

In particular, companies that have newly entered the PHS mobile phone market, such as UTStarcom, Amoi, and BBK, have all purchased from Dongling Hi-Tech's component industry chain in accordance with the agreement reached with Dongling Hi-Tech. This has led to a surge in BOE's orders. BOE's general manager Wang Dongsheng has experienced what it means to be in pain and happy at the same time.

This is the feeling of being an ally of Dongling Hi-Tech, but as an opponent, it is another feeling.

"Now, many domestic manufacturers want to produce USB flash drives, optical mice, and PHS mobile phones, but Dongling Hi-Tech would rather license its patents to foreign companies than let its own people produce them!"

Duan Yongji said that although Dongling Hi-Tech claimed that it would not authorize too many companies to produce in order to maintain industry order, prevent counterfeit goods from running rampant, and allow the industry to continue to develop, in the eyes of many domestic companies, this was Dongling Hi-Tech eating alone and not even willing to give them a sip of the soup, which was really too overbearing!
Boss Liu and Duan Yongji looked at each other. Both of them were experts in playing tricks. Just by looking at each other, they knew what the other was planning.

"Everyone is having a hard time now. So many companies are looking for orders, and so many employees are waiting for a living. Dongling Hi-Tech can't finish its own orders, but is unwilling to give up some to others. This is really too much!"

Boss Liu also responded, and then the two smiled at each other. What they had to do was to add fuel to the flames. They just needed to mobilize some public opinion and encourage those companies that had been coveting USB flash drives and other products for a long time to copy and imitate them. They didn't believe that Dongling Hi-Tech could really sue each company one by one.

Even if a lawsuit is filed, it will take up a lot of Dongling Hi-Tech's time, energy, and money, and will slow down Dongling Hi-Tech's progress.

If Dongling Hi-Tech does not care, then look at the current situation of the VCD industry. As the company that invented VCD, Wanyan has been squeezed out of the top spot in VCD. Various unknown and counterfeit VCD machines are flooding the entire industry, truly achieving the situation where bad money drives out good money.

Even if Dongling Hi-Tech doesn't do anything, Lenovo and Soitong Group will be able to produce OEM USB flash drives, Silver Sable mice and other products. Even these two companies are jealous of the huge profits of USB flash drives!
……

Li Dongling couldn't care about what Duan Yongji, Boss Liu and Taishan Industry Research Association were up to for the time being. For Dongling Hi-Tech, what they had to do was to fight back when the enemy came and to find the right opportunity to strike back hard. One punch would decide the outcome!

It is better to strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming. To kill a chicken to scare the monkey, you have to find the right one. If you only target small companies to establish your authority, it will be difficult for people to remember them. Only by finding a big one can you let latecomers know that some things cannot be touched!

Li Dongling did not come to Yanjing to reminisce about the past this time. He had a lot of things to do. He had to visit many units and departments in Yanjing first. Now that he had arrived in Yanjing, he had to go through this process.

For several consecutive days, Li Dongling went to several departments including the Economic and Trade Commission, the Foreign Exchange Department, the Development and Reform Commission, the Industrial Machinery Department, and the Post and Telecommunications Department, and met with the heads of these departments.

In addition, these units have their own publicity departments that take photos and report on the incident. These are routine procedures. These units and departments need these reports to tell the outside world that these departments support Dongling Hi-Tech.

The more foreign exchange Dongling Hi-Tech earns and the more jobs it provides, the more political achievements it will bring to these departments and units!

Similarly, it is very important for Dongling Hi-Tech to use these reports to tell both its allies and opponents that Dongling Hi-Tech has supporters.

Not only can it enable Dongling Hi-Tech to obtain financial support from banks and local policy support from domestic municipal governments, but most importantly, it can tell those evildoers who want to lay their hands on Dongling Hi-Tech that they will have to pay the price.

"Netscape, the first Internet company in America, went public yesterday. It is the first Internet company in the world to go public. On the first day of its listing, the company's market value exceeded US$27 billion!
The Wall Street Journal commented that it took General Dynamics 43 years to reach its market value, while Netscape took only one minute! "

In its latest report, Computer Times reported a major event in the computer industry: Netscape went public.

At this moment in China, there has not been much news coverage of the Internet, and there has not been too much attention paid to Silicon Valley. Even most people are still unfamiliar with the term "Internet" and have never even heard of it. Even those who are currently browsing the Huiduo forum do not quite understand that the action of browsing the forum is called surfing the Internet!
"Andreessen, the founder of Netscape, who missed the bell ringing ceremony because of overtime, became a billionaire in his sleep. Anderson became the youngest billionaire in America and a hero of Silicon Valley!" "Silicon Valley in California is becoming the new focus of the American technology industry. The successful listing of Netscape may set off an Internet wave in America!"

Computer News quoted reports from overseas media, saying that in China, Netscape's listing may have been relatively quiet, but in America, it has sparked media attention.

In America, where people pursue wealth to an extreme degree, Netscape's listing has become a hot topic. A company that was established less than a year ago, within one minute of going public, its market value exceeded that of established companies.

The company founder became the youngest billionaire in an instant. He got wealth, power, status, luxury cars, BMWs, villas, and actresses in an instant. How could this not make Americans crazy!

After all, if Netscape and Anderson succeeded with the Internet, would there be a second or third person who would become billionaires by relying on the Internet?
The whole of America was crazy about Netscape. In less than a year, the website was listed on NASDAQ. It was really exciting.

Almost on the second day after Netscape went public, a group of geniuses from Stanford University dropped out of school and ran to Silicon Valley to start their own company. Countless more people flocked to Silicon Valley to take risks. After all, it only took one year. If they succeeded, they could achieve their American dream. If they failed, it was just a waste of one year. For countless people, this was a chance to change their destiny!

In America, where classes have become solidified, the emergence of a new track means an opportunity to change the fate of oneself or the entire family. It's not that they like adventure, but if they miss this unique opportunity, they will never encounter it again. How can they not be crazy about it!
Netscape's listing and the speed with which it became rich overnight drew the attention of the global technology industry to Silicon Valley, and also brought more Silicon Valley Internet companies to the world's attention.

Apart from Netscape, the most famous and anticipated company in Silicon Valley right now is Yahoo!

After Netscape went public, Yahoo also began to build momentum for its listing on NASDAQ. Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, in particular, was touted as the chief of the Internet and a genius on par with Anderson.

Yahoo and its investors do intend to take advantage of Netscape, hoping to use Netscape's popularity to increase Yang Zhiyuan's popularity and build momentum for Yahoo's listing next year.

While Yahoo is building momentum in America, there is also considerable activity in Asia, especially in Japan and Formosa.

The reason why Japan Mercedes-Benz is on SoftBank's side is that SoftBank's president, Masayoshi Son, is the largest individual shareholder of Yahoo. If Yahoo goes public, wouldn't it once again prove that Son has a keen eye for talent? In addition, Japan Mercedes-Benz has a close relationship with its sovereign country, America. Just think about it, the sovereign country's Internet company actually relies on Japan Mercedes-Benz's investment. How can Japan Mercedes-Benz not promote itself desperately?

As for Taiwan, it is because Yang Zhiyuan was born in Taiwan. Now Yang Zhiyuan has the opportunity to become the second person in Silicon Valley and even in the global Internet. How can he not create momentum?

"Yahoo has gone through two rounds of venture capital. After Netscape went public, Yahoo's valuation doubled. Some investment institutions believe that Yahoo's valuation has exceeded US$500 million, making it the world's second largest Internet company after Netscape.

Currently, the largest shareholder of Yahoo is Masayoshi Son, the president of SoftBank, who invested $35 million in Yahoo and holds % of the shares. In addition, companies such as Sequoia Capital, Reuters, and Zhixing Foundation have also invested in Yahoo!

If it comes to this, the news about Silicon Valley may just be more of a curiosity for domestic media.

But when the Hong Kong media reprinted the report from Taiwan, and the Guangdong media, as well as domestic media such as Computer News, reprinted the Hong Kong media's report on Yahoo, some media soon discovered that something was wrong. There seemed to be a name in Yahoo's shareholder list that looked familiar yet unfamiliar to the domestic media: Zhixing Foundation!

The domestic media, which originally had little knowledge of Silicon Valley and the Internet, were suddenly stimulated like sharks that suddenly smelled blood. Yahoo is now valued at more than 500 million US dollars. How much is the Yahoo equity held by the Zhixing Foundation worth?
……

A convoy of several Audi cars drove towards Zhongguancun, and Gu Xiguang was also sitting in one of the cars.

"Old leader, after inspecting Tianya.com, the Internet department of Dongling Hi-Tech in Yanjing today, Dongling Hi-Tech has some other projects, so I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer!"

Gu Xiguang was sitting in the car, and he spoke to a dignified man beside him. The latter nodded, then turned around and saw the scene under the Dongling Hi-Tech office building. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiguang, is this what you mean by no major fuss?"

Gu Xiguang was a little confused when he saw a large group of media reporters gathered at the entrance of the Zhongguancun Dongling Hi-Tech Office Building. He clearly did not notify the media today, so why did so many reporters come? Moreover, even if several departments and units jointly inspected the Dongling Hi-Tech Yanjing Company today, there was no need to call so many media, right? !
