Reborn since 1993

Chapter 843 The lion opens its mouth

In particular, Liu Weiguang, the new leader who had just arrived in Pingyang and was announced to take office at the Pingyang Municipal Government Conference, refused all subsequent social engagements after the conference and after accepting interviews from Pingyang TV and other media.

After getting in the car, the smile on Liu Weiguang's face disappeared visibly. Lu Liqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat and was chosen by Liu Weiguang as the chief secretary, could naturally see that his boss was in a bad mood.

Liu Weiguang has a square face and a very dignified look. He has been in charge of politics and law in recent years, and he unconsciously carries an aura of majesty without even being angry.

Liu Weiguang is 45 years old this year. In his official career, this age is the right time to show his talents. Although Pingyang is not a provincial capital, given Pingyang's strong economic performance in recent years, he is basically in a high position to serve as the head of Pingyang Municipal Government at this age.

In other provincial capitals, the leaders are generally over 50 years old. A difference of a few years can make a world of difference in one's career.

Lu Liqi is the chief secretary selected by Liu Weiguang. He is from Hanxi and was assigned to Pingyang Municipal Government after graduating from university. Although he is young, he has already worked in many departments and is quite familiar with all departments of Pingyang Municipal Government.

More importantly, Lu Liqi graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University. Whether in Hanxi Province or in cities such as Pingyang and Shangzhong, there are people from Hanxi Jiaotong University in all walks of life, not to mention in the official career, many of whom are fellow students.

However, if you don't reach a certain position, the relationship with Hanxi Jiaotong University will not be of any use. But once your career reaches a certain level, the relationship with Hanxi Jiaotong University will naturally become much closer, and it will be a natural alliance.

In Pingyang, the identity of Hanxi Jiaotong University is equally subtle. Everyone knows that the founder of Pingyang’s largest taxpayer company is also a graduate of Hanxi Jiaotong University!

There is also the Hanxi Provincial Government in Yanjing, and it was obviously a well-considered decision to recommend Lu Liqi to Liu Weiguang.

Lu Liqi is a local of Pingyang, familiar with Pingyang, and a graduate of Hanxi Jiaotong University. With Lu Liqi's help, Liu Weiguang will be able to take over the power of Pingyang Municipal Government more quickly.

Of course, whether Liu Weiguang can make good use of Lu Liqi depends on his own ability. No matter what, Lu Liqi is just a senior secretary. He relies on Liu Weiguang's power. If Liu Weiguang can't even stand up, then how many people will care about him as a senior secretary?

"Mayor Liu, tonight, the municipal government office has prepared a small welcoming dinner for you. The heads of various municipal government departments and some people from Pingyang will be there. Do you want to attend?"

Lu Liqi asked Liu Weiguang cautiously.

Generally, such banquets are attended by local people, who come to test the new leader to see if there is any chance of making friends or gaining his support.

The new leader can also initially test how deep the local water is, which people can be won over, which people can be used, and which ones need to be guarded against in the future.

It cannot be said that those people in Pingyang were traitors and changed their allegiance immediately after Yao Zhengru left.

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. In the next few years, Pingyang will enter an era where Liu Weiguang will be the head. Many things will require Liu Weiguang to make the final decision, and the fate of many people's careers will be in Liu Weiguang's hands!
"No need!"

Liu Weiguang rejected it directly, and said decisively, "We can eat anytime, there's no rush. We have more important things to do now!"

"Go and notify them to contact Dongling Hi-Tech. Tomorrow I will go visit Dongling Hi-Tech with the municipal government, industry and commerce, investment promotion, finance and other departments!"

The first stop of Liu Weiguang after taking office was to inspect Dongling Hi-Tech. Before coming, Liu Weiguang knew clearly what the first thing he should do after taking office, which was, of course, to express his position!
Liu Weiguang is different from Yao Zhengru. Yao Zhengru has rich local experience, is in charge of economics, and has his own set of ideas.

But Liu Weiguang is not an expert, and he knows this well. He came to Pingyang more to fill the last gap in his resume, so he has no plans to make any big changes to Pingyang's economy.

Liu Weiguang's followers in Yanjing also had a long talk with him about this point. He needed to strike a balance between establishing authority in Pingyang and not affecting Pingyang's development momentum.

Therefore, when Liu Weiguang came to Pingyang, he planned to start with the areas where he had the most experience, such as public security and official administration. Liu Weiguang did not necessarily have to suppress the troops left behind by Yao Zhengru. He would recruit those who could be used for his own purposes and even rely on them for important positions.

Therefore, Liu Weiguang has his own plans for where to go first and how to express his opinion after arriving in Pingyang.

Liu Weiguang was even planning to start a few more fires, first killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and then promoting a group of people. His banner was naturally raised in Pingyang!
But man proposes, God disposes. Liu Weiguang was disappointed after hearing the initial news from Lu Liqi about the current situation in Pingyang.

Although Pingyang is not an isolated case and is having a hard time in other parts of the country due to the influence of Southeast Asia, for Liu Weiguang, Pingyang's tax revenue and GDP dropped by 30% as soon as he took office, which was really a big deal for him.

However, what made Liu Weiguang even more anxious was that Dongling Hi-Tech, which was regarded as the pillar of Pingyang, actually released a big bomb.

Dongling Hi-Tech is actually going to sell its Xiaolingtong mobile phone business. Even if Liu Weiguang doesn't understand technology, he understands how important the Xiaolingtong business is!
Therefore, although the media reported that Dongling Hi-Tech sold the Xiaolingtong mobile phones in order to raise money for the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom and entry into the automotive industry.

But in Pingyang, there were still rumors that Liu Weiguang and Dongling Hi-Tech were not getting along, so Dongling Hi-Tech was going to sell off its assets and move its headquarters. Liu Weiguang didn't know where these rumors came from, but he was still very annoyed. This was obviously making things difficult for him!
Liu Weiguang wanted to make three big moves when he took office, to make an example of others and to seize power in Pingyang Municipal Government, but he was not crazy. He used Pingyang's largest taxpayer to establish his authority and drove away Dongling Hi-Tech. How desperate could he be?
Sitting in the car, Liu Weiguang closed his eyes and thought about the situation that would follow. A look of worry appeared on his face. He had never had any contact with Dongling Hi-Tech and didn't know what Dongling Hi-Tech's attitude was.

But if Dongling Hi-Tech really moves away, the entire Pingyang will be affected. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the sky is falling!

Having ruined a powerful emerging economic city, Liu Weiguang's career has basically come to an end, and it will be almost impossible for him to make any further progress in the future.

Dongling Hi-Tech's actions can be said to have completely disrupted Liu Weiguang's arrangements, and even made the relationship between Liu Weiguang and the Yao family gang left behind by Yao Zhengru become delicate.

"Yes, Mayor Liu is here, please wait!"

Lu Liqi's phone suddenly rang, and then Lu Liqi handed the phone to Liu Weiguang, and then whispered, "It's a call from Yan Jing!"

"I am Liu Weiguang!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Weiguang's expression became more solemn. A call came from Yanjing that a joint inspection team would be coming to Pingyang, including the Economic and Trade Commission, Commerce, Ministry of Electronic Information and other departments.

Such a high-level team is suddenly coming to Pingyang. Apart from Dongling Hi-Tech, which other company can attract so many departments to come here?

However, the arrival of so many departments in Pingyang also solved Liu Weiguang's doubts, that is, it was obvious that Yanjing was unaware of Dongling Hi-Tech's sale of PHS, and such a big commotion was obviously not aimed at him!

……

"UTStarcom, together with Softbank, asked Dongling Hi-Tech for the price of PHS!"

"The president of Nippon Benz Telephone and Telegraph Company, Nakamura Yufu, will arrive in Pingyang tomorrow and hopes to start negotiations with Dongling Hi-Tech to acquire PHS!"

"Currently, several companies including UTStarcom, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, Ericsson, and Motorola have all asked us for prices on PHS!"

"Some domestic mobile phone manufacturers are also interested in Xiaolingtong, but they may not have enough funds."

In Li Dongling's office at the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, Hu Zixian told Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng and others about several major financiers who were currently interested in taking over Xiaolingtong.

Apart from Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, UTStarcom, Ericsson and Motorola, there are other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, who are basically joining in the fun to see if there are any bargains to be had, but they cannot afford to pay much money.

"There is another company that also asked us for a price!"

Ren Yuefeng received a call and said, "Microsoft seems to be interested in Xiaolingtong mobile phones!"

Hearing that Microsoft was also interested in joining in, the people at Dongling Hi-Tech couldn't help but feel a little more excited. With Microsoft, a big money sponsor, joining in, the price of Xiaolingtong phones could be raised a bit higher.

"The question now is, how much should we price the Xiaolingtong cell phones?" Hu Zixian asked, and then everyone's eyes turned to Li Dongling who was looking down at a document.

Li Dongling was flipping through the documents in his hand. The outside world's attention was now focused on the Xiaolingtong mobile phone. In fact, Dongling Hi-Tech's actions had never stopped.

In addition to applying for car license plates from the Economic and Trade Commission and other departments, it also registered several brands including Shenzhou Automobile, Jaguar, and Chitu, as well as the Land Rover and Land Rover brands.

The in-car navigation map company was named AutoNavi Maps, and it contacted the space administration to apply for mapping qualifications.

The plans that Li Dongling formulated for Dongling Hi-Tech are being implemented. All major departments of Dongling Hi-Tech, including overseas companies, are busy. Even the Zhixing Foundation is preparing to create a new outlet for music websites in Silicon Valley!
Li Dongling put down the documents in his hand, raised his head, and glanced at Hu Zixian and others. "The only ones who can really bid this time are probably Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, UTStarcom, Softbank, and Microsoft!"

"The sale of Xiaolingtong will naturally go to the highest bidder. Dongling Hi-Tech's offer for Xiaolingtong must be over HK$100 billion!"

"hiss!"

Even though those present were their own people, Hu Zixian and others couldn't help but gasp when they heard Li Dongling's words. According to the exchange rate, this offer was more than 14 billion US dollars, which was definitely a shocking acquisition.
