Reborn since 1993

Chapter 840 Earth-shattering
"Where did this news come from?" Feng Miaoyu asked casually.

"This... is not very clear, but many newspapers and media outlets should have received this news today."

Someone from Yanjing Business Daily spoke to Feng Miaoyu.

When Feng Miaoyu heard this, she shook her head and didn't take it too seriously. However, after walking a few steps, her brows suddenly furrowed.

As a media practitioner, she doesn't really believe in some outrageous news, but Feng Miaoyu knows very well that sometimes, some news that seems to be extremely outrageous is finally proved to be true!

There is no smoke without fire. Some news can be spread even if someone deliberately fabricates it. But sometimes, the truth is always so outrageous that it shocks people.

"Editor-in-Chief Feng, what's wrong with you?"

A reporter from Yanjing Business Daily saw Feng Miaoyu's abnormality and couldn't help but ask her.

"Go and find out where this news came from. Also, keep an eye on the media in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and other places reporting on the sale of PHS!"

Feng Miaoyu said to the staff of Yanjing Business Daily, "I will contact Dongling Hi-Tech now!"

Seeing Feng Miaoyu ready to start a big fight, the staff of Yanjing Business Daily paused for a few seconds and then started to get busy.

Feng Miaoyu hurried to the office. If the news that Dongling Hi-Tech was going to sell Xiaolingtong was false, it would be fine.

But if it is true, then it is really true, it may be big news that will shock the entire inland and even the global technology circle!

The fact that the world's third-largest mobile phone brand is being sold is enough to drive the entire mobile phone industry crazy.

Not only the mobile phone industry, even the telecom giants may not be able to hold it back anymore!

As long as they acquire Xiaolingtong, it will be an industry with annual shipments of tens of millions of units and annual revenue of over three to four billion US dollars. Who can not be tempted by such a gold mine?
Sitting in the office, flipping through business cards, Feng Miaoyu made several phone calls. At the beginning, she did not use her personal connections. As usual, she used the name of Yanjing Business Daily to contact the public relations department of Dongling Hi-Tech.

However, after making several consecutive calls and hearing the name of Yanjing Business Daily reported by Feng Miaoyu, and the question of whether Dongling Hi-Tech really wanted to sell Xiaolingtong mobile phones, the public relations department staff of Dongling Hi-Tech actually evaded the question by saying that they were not aware of it or had to ask the head of the public relations department.

But Feng Miaoyu smelled something unusual from these excuses. The reaction of Dongling Hi-Tech's public relations department showed that they knew about the rumor, but they did not refute or clarify it. This was obviously abnormal!

Staring at the phone on the table, Feng Miaoyu looked at the other business cards of Dongling Hi-Tech executives. Over the years, Yanjing Business Daily has always been biased towards Dongling Hi-Tech. Feng Miaoyu has interviewed Li Dongling twice, so naturally she has some friendship with the executives of Dongling Hi-Tech.

Feng Miaoyu has business cards of Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao and others.

"Manager Hu, excuse me for bothering you. I have received some news and would like to consult Dongling Hi-Tech." Feng Miaoyu finally called Hu Zixian's cell phone.

This is also considerate. If you call Li Dongling or Ren Yuefeng directly, you may not be able to get any information. After all, it is such a big deal and the changes are too big. It is impossible for Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng to express their opinions directly to prevent them from having no room for maneuver.

In addition to Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, as the purse manager of Dongling Hi-Tech, must have been involved in this transaction.

"Editor-in-Chief Feng, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Hu Zixian's voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to be indescribably tired.

"I have no comment on this matter for now, but Dongling Hi-Tech should have an announcement later. I hope Editor-in-Chief Feng can understand!"

After saying that, Hu Zixian hung up the phone, then picked up the tea and took a sip.

He was the one who leaked the news about selling Xiaolingtong to various financial media. Yanjing Business Daily was not the first media to contact him. Even the central media financial news called him. How could he not be dry-mouthed after talking for so long? !
What he said just now was so obvious. It would be strange if Feng Miaoyu didn't hear it.

This time, Dongling Hi-Tech wants to release the news through the media, so as to lure out the various financiers who want to acquire Xiaolingtong mobile phones!

Feng Miaoyu didn’t even know when the phone was hung up because she was too shocked.

The meaning of Hu Zixian's words is too obvious. No matter what the reason is or what unexpected events occurred, Dongling Hi-Tech does intend to sell Xiaolingtong mobile phones!
After a while, Feng Miaoyu came back to her senses, turned on her computer and started writing the manuscript. No matter how shocked she was at the moment, Yanjing Business Daily needed to release this news that would shock the entire country!
……

"According to relevant information, Xiaolingtong mobile phones may be sought for sale!"

The next day, the Yanjing Business Daily published this news on the front page. It did not attract much attention at first, but then the news began to spread wildly. The Yanjing Business Daily newspapers that were originally scheduled to be sold for a day were sold out in less than two hours, and then the news was reprinted crazily by various media!
Yuhang City is also the headquarters of UTStarcom, the second largest PHS mobile phone manufacturer in China. UTStarcom is now making a fortune with the PHS mobile phone. Although Dongling Hi-Tech intends to use UTStarcom and other mobile phone manufacturers to develop the third- and fourth-tier cities and even county towns and rural mobile phone markets, UTStarcom and other manufacturers are also making huge profits.

If it weren't for the sudden economic crisis in Southeast Asia, UTStarcom's headquarters building, which it has been planning to build with an investment of 1 billion RMB, would have started construction this year and would have become a new landmark building in Yuhang.

Although the headquarters building has not yet started construction due to unexpected circumstances, UTStarcom has also established a research and development center and a production plant in Yuhang.

The local people in Yuhang are naturally very supportive of emerging technology companies like UTStarcom which are major taxpayers. In places around Yuhang and other places, UTStarcom's mobile phone sales have even exceeded those of Xiaolingtong, which shows the current influence of UTStarcom in the local area.

As for Boss Ma, he is still serving as the general manager of the Information Department of the Yanjing International Electronic Commerce Center, and is currently building an online commodity trading market website for foreign trade and economic cooperation.

However, it is different from the previous life. In the previous life, including China Merchants Network, Online Canton Fair, Online China Commodity Exchange Network, etc., were all created by Boss Ma. Although they finally retreated to Yanjing, they made a lot of connections and resources, and laid the foundation of Yanjing connections for Alibaba.

Now, with the emergence of Shenzhou Computer, it has joined forces with companies such as Tianya and Kingsoft. As long as any unit in Yanjing purchases Shenzhou Computer, Shenzhou Computer will work with its partners to help the unit develop a website and only charge a "reasonable" fee.

For many units nowadays, buying a computer can also solve the problem of the unit's website, directly entering the Internet age. For these units, it can be said that it is "trouble-free".

Therefore, now whether it is Yanjing or other regional units and departments, after purchasing Shenzhou computers, they also transfer the website development to Shenzhou Computer, and then it is developed by Tianya Company, Kingsoft, and Hanxi IT Center.

As for Boss Ma, he must have a lot less time in Yanjing and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation than in his previous life. Many of his projects have been taken over by Shenzhou Computer...

But even if Boss Ma returns to Yuhang now, in Yuhang, the status of UTStarcom founder Wu Ying is far higher than his.

Otherwise, that popular photo would not have appeared in the previous life. Wu Ying put her left hand on the shoulder of Alibaba's boss Ma and her right hand on Penguin's boss Ma, acting as a lobbyist to mediate the relationship between the two, with Baidu's boss Li standing by and listening attentively.

Even when the Internet bubble burst and Alibaba had problems with its capital chain, it was Wu Ying who helped Boss Ma introduce Alibaba to SoftBank's Masayoshi Son. Otherwise, Alibaba's history might have been rewritten.

UTStarcom President Lu Hongliang came out of his home, got into the driver's car, and headed towards the company.

Now that UTStarcom is making huge profits, the net worth of its founders, such as Lu Hongliang, has naturally risen as well, and they are picked up by drivers whenever they go out.

Sitting in the car, Lu Hongliang opened the newspaper and started reading as usual, but when he saw the Qiantang River News, Lu Hongliang was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

"This news is reprinted from Yanjing Business Daily. It is reported that Dongling Hi-Tech, the parent company of Xiaolingtong, the largest mobile phone manufacturer in China, may sell its Xiaolingtong mobile phone business. The news has not been confirmed yet!"

Qiantang River News also stated that the news was reprinted from the Yanjing Business News. It was not sure about the authenticity of the news because it was too shocking!

UTStarcom's headquarters is in Yuhang, so it has naturally dealt with Qiantang River News. Qiantang River News knows how profitable PHS phones are. Because of this, when it suddenly heard the news, Qiantang River News was a little unsure, but it still had to publish the news.

When Lu Hongliang saw the news in the newspaper, his first thought was, when did the April Fool's Day that he celebrated when studying in America spread to China?

But then I immediately came to my senses. This was not April Fools' Day. Either Qiantang River Daily and Yanjing Business Daily were fabricating fake news, or the mobile phone industry really had changed!

"Drive faster!"

Lu Hongliang shouted to the driver, his face flushed and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Old Wu!"

He ran all the way into the UTStarcom office building, and even complained that the elevator was too slow, Lu Hongliang ran all the way up.

Panting, Lu Hongliang pushed the newspaper he had been holding in his hand in front of Wu Ying, "Look at this!"

Wu Ying, who was about to attend a meeting, picked up the newspaper in confusion, then stood up from her chair with a bang, "Is the news true?"

"do not know!"

"There is only the Yanjing Business Daily reporting on this right now. Other media outlets are just reprinting the Yanjing Business Daily's report."

"However, whether it is true or not, UTStarcom must be prepared!"
