Reborn since 1993

Chapter 414 Overturning the table
"According to reports from multiple media outlets including Asia Weekly and Mainland Technology News, Li Dongling, founder of Dongling Hi-Tech, has become one of the top 20 richest people in Asia this year. This is the first time that someone from the mainland has made the list!

Dongling Hi-Tech, which owns the Xiaolingtong mobile phone, Shenzhou digital cordless phone, Silver Sable mouse and Shenzhou USB flash drive, is also called by the media as the best technology company in Asia, on par with Japan's Toshiba, Sony, Sharp and South Korea's Samsung!

Other media reported that Dongling Hi-Tech may participate in the battle for equity in Hong Kong City Telecom, Asia's largest telecommunications group. In addition, Li Dongling declared that Dongling Hi-Tech will not give up its car manufacturing plan, but did not disclose the specific plan.

Some automotive industry experts believe that the entry of Dongling Hi-Tech may bring new changes to domestically produced cars. Since its establishment, Dongling Hi-Tech has brought changes to many industries..."

"Humph!"

Watching the reports on TV and listening to the host praising Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech, Yan Lixiang, who was watching TV, couldn't help but groan.

"You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You think you can get involved in the automotive industry by taking advantage of loopholes and selling a few technologically backward mobile phones?!"

Yan Lixiang, a media commentator who had published many articles in newspapers criticizing and questioning Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech, snorted coldly.

Now, if you open the financial channels of various TV stations, as well as newspapers and magazines on finance, finance, and technology, you will find no shortage of voices praising Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling Hi-Tech has become the flagship of domestic technology brands. Li Dongling, a mainlander, has become one of the top 20 richest people in Asia. Many media have touted Dongling Hi-Tech as a company of the same level as Japanese companies such as Sony, Toshiba, Sharp and Panasonic.

This is of course a bit of flattery and exaggeration. There is still a gap between Dongling Hi-Tech and those old Japanese technology companies, not in terms of revenue, but in terms of technology reserves, patents and other aspects.

But it is true that Dongling Hi-Tech has become a banner of domestic technology, and even made many people more proud of domestic products. In the past few years, domestic users had almost no trust in domestic brands. It is not an exaggeration to say that domestic products have suffered a crushing defeat.

The situation cannot be said to have improved now, but the emergence of Dongling Hi-Tech, Xiaolingtong, Yindiao, Shenzhou USB flash drive and other brands have made many domestic users realize that domestic products are not completely useless. Some domestic products are better than foreign brands and are even popular among local users in overseas markets!
Dongling Hi-Tech is changing the impression of domestic brands among countless domestic users. Even people like Yan Lixiang, who have always claimed that the media's publicity about Dongling Hi-Tech is exaggerated and misleading to the Chinese people, cannot completely deny the changes that Dongling Hi-Tech has brought to domestic brands.

In the past few years, Yan Lixiang watched Dongling Hi-Tech, which he criticized in the past, develop step by step to where it is today. Although he still can't stand it, he can do nothing about it.

In fact, because he criticized Shenzhou digital cordless phone too much, when Shenzhou digital cordless phone defeated Siemens, Yan Lixiang's reputation was ruined. For several years, no media newspapers published his articles, nor did they invite him to be a media commentator.

It was only this year that Yan Lixiang changed his name and slowly began to become active again in the media.

Now watching on TV, it is actually touted that Dongling Hi-Tech's entry into the automotive industry may change the landscape of domestic automotive brands. Yan Lixiang scoffed at this. If it were in the past, he would have written a "brilliant article" to refute the media's erroneous reports.

Yan Lixiang believes that domestic automobile technology lags behind Japan by more than a hundred years. In the future, domestic brand cars equipped with Japanese and Mitsubishi engines will probably be used as a selling point.

The engine of Mitsubishi, Japan, can only be regarded as third-rate technology compared with the two Japanese automobile giants. Even third-rate technology is considered to be the black technology of the Zenith aliens in China, just like the various mobile phone manufacturers in the past, when they launched a new phone, they actually promoted Qualcomm's processors as a selling point.

Therefore, Yan Lixiang thought that the media was talking nonsense. He just didn't believe that the car launched by Dongling Hi-Tech could surpass the Nissan car?!

To Yan Lixiang, this is totally unscientific. If that day really comes, his entire outlook on life will probably be overturned. Therefore, he thinks it is completely impossible!
However, a few years ago, he suffered a setback at the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech. Now he has just made a comeback. If he "cracks down" on Dongling Hi-Tech's automobile project at this time, Yan Lixiang is afraid of repeating the same mistake.

After all, at this time, there is still no sign of Dongling Hi-Tech's automobile project, and there may be no accidents. Yan Lixiang is ready to wait a little longer. When Dongling Hi-Tech really launches the automobile project, he will kill it with one blow!
...Different people have different opinions about the interview with Li Dongling. People from Gangcheng are curious about Li Dongling's worth and when Li Dongling will start competing for Gangcheng Telecom.

On the domestic side, people are paying more attention to Dongling Hi-Tech Company, and more people are praising Dongling Hi-Tech, treating it as the representative of the domestic technology industry.

In addition, many people are curious about Dongling Hi-Tech's car manufacturing and don't know how Li Dongling will play the game. Like Yan Lixiang, there are also many voices questioning Li Dongling.

After all, the difficulty of making cars and making mobile phones is completely on a different level. This is Li Dongling's current status. If it were someone else, he would have been scolded to death a long time ago.

Li Dongling didn't pay much attention to these voices. Entering the automotive industry is not a rush. If he could prepare a car R&D team within one or two years, that would be fast.

Li Dongling was planning to go to South Korea and Japan to recruit a group of mature automobile R&D personnel when Soros attacked Southeast Asia, and then form an automobile R&D team at Dongling Hi-Tech.

As for the most critical engine problem, according to previous domestic automobile engines, there are generally three ways to overtake Japanese benzene engines.

The first is to exchange the market for cars, that is, joint venture cars, opening up the domestic market to Japan, South Korea, America, and old Europe. But the premise is that if those foreign car brands want to come in, they have to set up their production bases in the country and provide their car technology to domestic joint ventures.

What can I say about this path? It cannot be said that it is completely useless. Anyway, for more than ten or twenty years, domestic automobile manufacturers have only thought about making money by labeling. No one knows how much technology they have learned. Anyway, after 30 years, they are still selling foreign brands. As a result, domestic users are not buying it and will only buy BBA, then they start to get anxious.

The other two ways are to find the world's top auto parts suppliers and assemble engines, just like Chery, which asks Honeywell for the engine turbine, Valeo for the intercooler, and Bosch for the ECU chip, bypassing Nippon Benz's patents and assembling a top-level car engine. Nippon Benz is not the only company in the world that does this.

The third way is to develop electric cars. No need for engines and gearboxes. Just flip the table. Are you still afraid of being strangled by Japanese cars? !
As long as you want to play, there are plenty of means to do so. The only difference is the cost. After all, not all industries are like chips. As long as the lithography machine is blocked, the entire industry can be controlled. Li Dongling is not too worried about Dongling Hi-Tech's automobile project. He just doesn't want to rush it, so as not to pay too high a price and implicate Dongling Hi-Tech.

……

"The report about joining the acquisition of Hong Kong City Telecom is a media report. I have not made any statement on this!"

"I will go to Hong Kong City at the end of the month to attend Fang Zheng's bell ringing ceremony!"

Li Dongling was on the phone. The person on the other end of the line was Ning Wenke from Gangcheng.

"When you come to Gangcheng, the Ning family will definitely welcome you!"

In Ning's Trading Company, Ning Wenke had a smile on her face when she hung up the phone. The assistant next to her couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Ning Wenke finish the call.

Ning Wenke has always given people the impression of being a genuine female CEO in the company. This kind of feminine look is the first time she has seen it. The young assistant couldn't help but speculate for a moment, could it be that the gossip tabloids in Hong Kong are not reporting groundless?
Seeing the assistant's expression, Ning Wenke blushed slightly, then she coughed and recovered her composure.

"Tell the publicity department not to directly acknowledge the rumor about Ning's acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom, but don't deny it either. Also, be prepared to welcome the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech to Gangcheng at the end of the month!"
