Reborn since 1993

Chapter 361 The way of heaven brings reincarnation

In this era, those who can make a name for themselves are all decisive and resolute people. After all, those who dare to give up their stable iron rice bowl to go into business are taking huge risks. Without determination and courage, they cannot do it. Wu Yaoguo is no exception.

The Oriental Times shopping mall project is still under construction, and it is hard to say whether it will be a success or a failure. Including the newly introduced New Oriental training institution and IT training center, it is also hard to say whether they will make a profit or a loss in the future, but Wu Yaoguo is willing to take a gamble.

Wu Yaoguo was not betting on the Oriental Times project, but on Li Dongling. He was betting on people. Wu Yaoguo believed that sometimes betting on projects is not as reliable as betting on people. Different projects, done by different people, will have completely different results!

Not to mention, the IT training center has also received support from a number of companies including Founder, Kingsoft, and New Oriental. It’s impossible that these companies are all blind, right?

Investing in an IT training center with companies like Founder, even if there is a loss, you can still earn some favors. If it fails this time, there will be opportunities for cooperation next time, Wu Yaoguo's eyes flashed.

Li Dongling looked at Wu Yaoguo, thought for a moment and said, "Since Brother Wu is interested, it would be difficult for the Oriental Times Shopping Mall to reject the good intention of the Provincial State Investment Corporation!
The New Oriental Pingyang School, which is used for English training, studying abroad, art training, and college entrance examination review, also has an IT training center, with a total investment estimated at around 80 million yuan.

This money is mainly used to acquire land, build schools and training center buildings, purchase computers and other office equipment, etc., and also to hire professionals and teaching talents!"

"If Hanxi Guotou is willing, it can invest 15 million and get % of the equity of New Oriental Pingyang School and IT Training Center!"

Twenty-five million in exchange for an IT training center that hasn't even been built yet. This was something that only Li Dongling said. If it was someone else who said it, Wu Yaoguo would not have been interested in listening and would have walked away long ago.

"Hanxi Guotou has approved this investment!"

Wu Yaoguo said without any hesitation that the Oriental Times Shopping Mall was a project of the Li family and was carried out under the banner of the Li family.

In name, Li Dongshan is the head and president of Oriental Times Shopping Mall, but Li Dongling has put a lot of effort into this project. During this trip to Yanjing, he did not forget to bring projects to Oriental Times. Li Dongling did all this not so much for Oriental Times Shopping Mall as for Li Dongshan.

Wu Yaoguo is aware of the relationships among the Li family members. If any problems arise with the Oriental Times Shopping Mall project one day, he is sure that Li Dongling will take action. Therefore, the risk of investing in the Oriental Times Shopping Mall project is far less than imagined. As for unfinished projects, as long as Dongling Hi-Tech does not go bankrupt, the Oriental Times Shopping Mall will not go bankrupt!

"The Pingyang Municipal Government and Pingyang Education Department also support the establishment of Pingyang New Oriental and IT Training Center!" Yao Zhengru also expressed his opinion.

Yao Zhengru has no specific idea about the economic scale brought by English training, studying abroad, art training, college entrance examination review, and civil service examination training, as well as how much revenue and talents the establishment of the IT training center will bring to Pingyang. In fact, the country has not paid special attention to this aspect.

But Yao Zhengru instinctively felt that these two projects, if kept in Pingyang, might bring unexpected benefits. Of course, the main reason for this feeling was because of Li Dongling. This name had already become a golden signboard in Pingyang and Hanxi!
……

"Welcome to watch the Super Girl finals jointly produced by CCTV, Hanxi TV and Focus Media!
I am the host Cheng Qian, and now I welcome the judges Wei Wei, Tsai Chin, Ke Yimin, Mao Ning, etc. to enter the venue..."

In a courtyard behind the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech, the voice of the country's top variety show host appeared on the living room TV.

No one can refute the fact that Cheng Qian is now the most famous and number one variety show host in China. The most popular programs in China, such as Zhengda Variety Show and Happy Mobilization, are all hosted by him. With the addition of the Super Girl program, his fame has skyrocketed. It is rumored that the Spring Festival Gala, which will open in two or three months, has already booked him as the host of the Spring Festival Gala.

In the courtyard, the finals of Super Girl were playing on the large LCD TV in the living room. Yao Luoying, who had taken off her professional attire as she did not have to deal with the affairs of Feiyan Technology, casually tied her hair up. She was lying comfortably on the sofa on Li Dongling, shaking her white and tender calves hanging under the sofa from time to time.

Yao Luoying took a bite of the grape and put one in Li Dongling's mouth from time to time. Li Dongling was looking at the computer on the table and writing and drawing on the notebook from time to time.

The laptop computer that Li Dongling is using and the LCD TV he has now have no brands or logos. They are both products of the laboratory of Dongling's high-tech department.

Dongling Hi-Tech has not yet entered the LCD TV and notebook computer industries, but it is conducting experiments. It can learn from others' experience and even has a measuring tape department in the automotive industry.

Now the domestic automobile industry is still in the period of imitating overseas automobile brands. Basically, domestic automobile manufacturers used a tape measure to measure foreign cars, but later, the tape measure department was inherited by Japanese automobile manufacturers, who used a tape measure to measure domestic new energy vehicles at auto shows. We can only say that it is a reward for all… Now Dongling High-tech Technology Department also has R&D projects in cooperation with Dongxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics and other companies. If we ignore the cost, we can assemble an LCD TV or a notebook.

The laptop computer that Li Dongling is using now is the product of a joint experiment between Dongling Hi-Tech's technical department, Dongxin Semiconductor, and Oriental Optoelectronics. Basically, all the computer components are manually polished by Dongling Hi-Tech's laboratory, or imported components are modified and then assembled and debugged.

The performance is not much worse than the top-level laptops from IBM, Dell, HP and other companies, but this laptop is just an experiment. The cost of making this laptop, as well as the manpower, material resources and time spent, is enough to buy dozens of IBM computers, and it cannot be mass-produced at all.

Li Dongling took a bite of the grapes that Yao Luoying stuffed into his hand, looked at the documents on the computer and the notebook in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly from time to time.

At this time, Yao Luoying let out a light "eh", and the host on TV also shouted, welcoming the opening performance guests of the finals. Suddenly, cheers came from the scene on TV, and Li Dongling raised his head and looked at the TV.

Suddenly, we saw Leon Lai, one of Hong Kong's four kings, appear on the stage. This was Leon Lai's most glorious moment. He was famous all over Asia. The Hong Kong media reported that no one could be more popular than Leon Lai.

Being able to invite Leon Lai shows that the organizers of Super Girl, Central Media and Focus Media, have invested a lot of money.

"Super Girls, sing whenever you want. Welcome everyone to continue watching the program with great support from brands such as Xiaolingtong mobile phone, Aido VCD, Chunlan air conditioner, Maotai Liquor, Kelon refrigerator, IBM computer, Toyota Crown, etc."

After Leon Lai finished his performance as a guest, Cheng Qian came on stage again and, in a rap mode, listed a lot of advertising sponsors of Super Girl in just a few tens of seconds.

There are also many foreign brands here. It is obvious how big the influence of Super Girl is. It is not obvious in Pingyang yet. If you go to densely populated areas such as Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng, the streets outside are quieter than usual. Wherever there is a TV, there are a lot of people watching today's final. It is not an exaggeration to say that the streets are deserted.

After a long advertisement, the only three remaining contestants appeared on the stage to compete for the championship. Li Dongling saw that Shen Yunjun, whom he had met once at the airport that day, was also among them, and she was standing in the C position.

Yao Luoying also spoke up, "Isn't Shen Yunjun the singer that Dongyue likes? Will she become the champion today?!"

"Maybe!"

Li Dongling glanced at Shen Yunjun on TV for a few seconds, then laughed and said.

Then Li Dongling turned his attention to the laptop again, and started writing and drawing on paper.

Li Dongling is considering the next steps for Dongling Hi-Tech and its subsidiaries Feiyan Technology, Dongxin Semiconductor and other companies. So far, Dongling Hi-Tech has launched products such as the Silver Sable Mouse, electronic pet machine, Shenzhou digital cordless phone, and Xiaolingtong mobile phone. Feiyan Technology has also launched products such as the best-selling mini radio.

Among these products, the electronic pet machine has been sold to Bandai, and the Silver Sable Mouse has reached the second generation of optical mouse, which has also set off a new trend in the mouse industry.

Shenzhou Digital Cordless Phone has stable revenue. With hundreds of millions of users in old Europe and new users in America, Shenzhou Digital Cordless Phone will be able to eat this piece of cake for many years. This year, it is expected to bring 17 billion US dollars in revenue to Dongling Hi-Tech.

As for Xiaolingtong mobile phones, they are still selling like hot cakes. But now, with the launch of PHS phones from brands such as UTStarcom, BBK, Amoi, and Panda, domestic Xiaolingtong mobile phones have entered an era of price wars.

Now, in order to increase sales, companies such as UTStarcom, Amoi, and BBK Electronics are constantly lowering prices. The price of a PHS phone from UTStarcom has approached 4000 yuan. You should know that at the end of last year, the price of a mobile phone was close to yuan. This gives you an idea of ​​how the mobile phone market is now.

For Dongling Hi-Tech's Xiaolingtong mobile phone, it will definitely be affected, but Xiaolingtong is aggressively attacking overseas markets, such as Brazil, Siam, Malaysia and other places, causing Xiaolingtong's overseas sales to soar.

Of course, according to the original agreement, UTStarcom, Amoi, BBK and other companies must give a share of the profits to Dongling Hi-Tech, the parent company of Xiaolingtong, no matter how many PHS phones they sell in China. The more they sell, the more Dongling Hi-Tech earns.

The Silver Sable mouse, Shenzhou digital cordless phone, and PHS mobile phone have earned a large amount of revenue for Dongling Hi-Tech. However, whether Dongling Hi-Tech will launch any new products next year is something Li Dongling needs to consider!
