Reborn since 1993

Chapter 847 Jumping out of the car
The relationship between Li Dongling and Gu Xiguang is basically known to everyone. Although their relationship is not like that of Yao Zhengru, where they share the same fate, it is also a recognized alliance.

Both of them graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University. In the past few years since Gu Xiguang became a powerful figure, Dongling Hi-Tech has provided him with a lot of help in many projects.

It can even be said that Pingyang and even Hanxi, to a certain extent, are the places that cooperate most with the Economic and Trade Commission and are considered the ironclad base of the Economic and Trade Commission.

However, in an occasion like today, Li Dongling still addressed Gu Xiguang by his position, just like in a certain TV drama, when working, one has to address others by their positions!

"Director Hu!"

"Director Wang!"

Many old acquaintances who had dealt with Dongling Hi-Tech came this time, including Hu Guangsha, who was formerly in the Electronic Industry Department and is now part of the Electronic Products Management Department of the Ministry of Information Industry, and Wang Yongyu, director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

Because there were many people present, Gu Xiguang behaved in a very formal and official manner as he introduced Li Dongling.

"This is Director Hou Jincheng of the Foreign Investment Department of the Ministry of Commerce!"

Gu Xiguang spoke to Li Dongling in a slightly heavier voice, and the hint was too obvious. The key person in the team coming from Yanjing and responsible for reviewing this transaction was Hou Jincheng.

Others include representatives from the Development and Reform Commission, Industrial Machinery and other departments and units, but this time, the most important one who can have a say in the sale of Xiaolingtong by Dongling Hi-Tech is the Ministry of Commerce and Information Industry.

Both of them are qualified to stop the transaction. Without their consent, Dongling Hi-Tech will not be able to sell the Xiaolingtong industry.

The original intention was to protect domestic industries. The reason was that in the past few years, too many domestic time-honored brands and industry leaders were acquired by overseas giants, so that voices calling for the protection of domestic brands emerged in the country.

However, in recent years, when foreign brands are still the strongest, there are reports from time to time that some domestic brands have been acquired by overseas companies. There is no other reason, because the other party paid more money...

The commerce department usually rarely sends personnel directly to review an acquisition transaction like this time, but this time the Xiaolingtong mobile phone is different.

Who can blame Dongling Hi-Tech for packaging Xiaolingtong so well? It has become the third largest mobile phone brand in the world in terms of shipments, and it has made the mobile phone really take root and flourish in China.

Before the introduction of Xiaolingtong, there were only a few million mobile phone users in China. At that time, the mobile phone industry was basically controlled by foreign brands. Mobile phones were very expensive, with a single machine costing seven or eight thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. Mobile phone bills were also ridiculously expensive.

But now, if you don’t buy Xiaolingtong but buy a miscellaneous brand, you can buy a PHS phone in China for as low as 2,500 yuan, and the cost of phone calls and text messages is also constantly decreasing.

I dare not say that all these are brought about by Xiaolingtong, but at least, since Dongling Hi-Tech launched Xiaolingtong, the domestic mobile phone industry has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Moreover, because the PHS mobile phone technology was in the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech, it reached an agreement with Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company to allow PHS base stations to be produced by manufacturers such as ZTE.

This has allowed Xiaolingtong to form a complete industrial chain in China. From mobile phones to base stations, and even mobile phone chips, all can be produced domestically. It no longer needs to be controlled by foreign countries, and can even be exported to earn foreign exchange!

The Ministry of Information Industry and other departments, although they knew that the technology of Xiaolingtong was backward compared to GSM and CDMA, had to accept it because, at present, PHS phones represented by Xiaolingtong were indeed the most suitable for the domestic market.

Today, the entire Yuhe Leisure Resort is not open to the public in the name of renovation and maintenance, so it looks much emptier.

Right now, in front of the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, there are media reporters from all over the world, including those from abroad, gathering. It is not a place to discuss business at all.

If Gu Xiguang, Hou Jincheng and other people from Yanjing appeared in front of the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.

The commerce department and other departments also don't know what Dongling Hi-Tech is up to, and have not decided whether to agree or reject it outright. This trip to Pingyang is also to find out more before making a decision.

The group walked in the Yuhe Leisure Resort. Gu Xiguang was familiar with the route. He came here several times a year and rested for several days each time. Coming here made Gu Xiguang feel much more relaxed than in other places.

"Dongling Hi-Tech is going to spend a huge sum of money this time. They are going to spend 150 million US dollars to build a global headquarters park?"

Gu Xiguang looked at Li Dongling and spoke first. It seemed that he was asking Li Dongling, but in fact he was talking to Hou Jincheng and Hu Guangsha.

Tell them that Dongling Hi-Tech is different from other companies. In addition to the PHS business, Dongling Hi-Tech also has the Shenzhou digital cordless telephone business, which is as stable as a rock, sells well in Europe and America every year and can earn more than one billion US dollars every year!
In addition to Shenzhou digital cordless phones, there are also Shenzhou computers, electronic dictionaries, repeaters, Shenzhou USB flash drives, and Dongfang Optoelectronics and Dongxin Semiconductor, which carry the banner of domestic panels and domestic chips, are also under Dongling Hi-Tech. In addition, there is Torch Group, which is single-handedly carrying the global lighter market, the largest TV shopping in China, the largest advertising company Focus Media, and many other companies, all of which are affiliated to Dongling Hi-Tech.

These companies either undertake key domestic technologies or provide a large number of jobs and tax revenues. They are the livelihood and clothing of millions of canal workers, and all depend on Dongling Hi-Tech!
Even if there are people who are dissatisfied with Dongling Hi-Tech's sale of the PHS business, they still have to consider how to deal with this matter.

If someone wants to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters at Dongling Hi-Tech and affect those jobs, the Economic and Trade Commission and Mr. Gu will be the first to disagree!

What are allies and alliances of interests? At critical moments, we must stand up to support our allies. No matter how big the role is, at least we have to express our stance!
If I don't speak up for my allies today, who will dare to charge into battle for them in the future? If people's morale is low, how can I lead the team?
At the very beginning, Gu Xiguang directly expressed his support for Dongling Hi-Tech and also told Hou Jincheng and Hu Guangsha his opinion.

Everyone present was smart, so they could understand what Gu Xiguang meant.

Seeing that Gu Xiguang directly supported Dongling Hi-Tech without any reserve at all, Hou Jincheng and Hu Guangsha were a little overwhelmed.

The Economic and Trade Commission is now at its peak. No department in Yanjing wants to confront it head-on. Once the projects in their hands are blocked by the Economic and Trade Commission or rejected by the Commission, it will be very uncomfortable for them!
"The current headquarters office area of ​​Dongling Hi-Tech is no longer sufficient. We need a new headquarters building and industrial park to accommodate more industries and departments!"

Li Dongling also understood the meaning of the words and told Hou Jincheng and others that Dongling Hi-Tech will not only place its global headquarters in China, but will also invest in and establish more industries in the future.

Dongling Hi-Tech is not like the president of a certain computer manufacturer. When asked by the host in an interview which region the company belongs to since it originated in China but has its global headquarters in America, he hesitated and did not dare to speak.

The group came to the pavilion at the observation deck of Yuhe Leisure Resort, where the entire Yuhe Leisure Resort was in full view, and the Pingyang Animal Park a few kilometers away could also be vaguely seen.

Sitting on the observation deck, Hou Jincheng, who was here for the first time, was also amazed by the observation deck.

The boiling tea in the pavilion kept boiling. After a moment's silence, Hu Shaguang from the Electronic Products Management Department spoke first.

"Mr. Li, a few years ago, it was Dongling Hi-Tech that pushed forward the promotion of PHS mobile phones against all odds. At that time, the Ministry of Information Industry's predecessor, the Post and Telecommunications Department, also gave its support and opened up the communication frequency band!"

Hu Guangsha looked at Li Dongling and said, "But now, PHS technology represented by Xiaolingtong has become a complete industrial chain in China.

Dongling Hi-Tech still holds the core patents of PHS mobile phones. Why would they suddenly sell them now? This will have unpredictable impacts on the entire domestic mobile phone and telecommunications industry!"

"The head of the Ministry of Information Industry is not so satisfied with Dongling Hi-Tech's decision!"

Hu Guangsha also revealed an important piece of news to Li Dongling. Once an overseas company acquired Xiaolingtong, it would very likely take away the advantages of the domestic PHS mobile phone industry.

It is obvious that the country cannot do without Xiaolingtong mobile phones at the moment. By then, all the profits from PHS mobile phones represented by Xiaolingtong will be taken away by foreign companies.

Even the domestic mobile phone industry has declined. Those who agree to this deal in Yanjing will be blamed.

"Dongling Hi-Tech will sell its PHS business and reach an agreement with the acquirer. The PHS production base will still be located in China and will use domestically produced parts for a certain number of years!"

Li Dongling said that the PHS mobile phone supply chain built by Dongling Hi-Tech in China has the lowest cost at present. No matter which company acquires PHS mobile phones, it is impossible to abandon this supply chain. Even if a new supplier is selected, the cost will definitely be higher than this supply chain system.

After hearing this, Hou Jincheng and others felt a little relieved. If the PHS mobile phone industry chain remains in China, the impact on the domestic mobile phone industry can be minimized.

"By selling the Xiaolingtong mobile phones, is Dongling Hi-Tech going to completely withdraw from the mobile phone industry?" Hou Jincheng suddenly asked Li Dongling.

Although there are various rumors that Dongling Hi-Tech sold the Xiaolingtong mobile phone in order to acquire Gangcheng Telecom and build cars, Hou Jincheng is somewhat skeptical about this.

Li Dongling was silent for a moment, "No!"

"Dongling Hi-Tech will not withdraw from the mobile phone industry. It may just change its route in terms of technology. Of course, these are just plans now!"

Gu Xiguang, Hou Jincheng and others were not from a technical background and were a little puzzled by what Li Dongling said, but Hu Guangsha's face changed drastically.

He was from the Electronics Division, so of course he knew what Li Dongling meant, which was that he was not optimistic about the PHS mobile phone technology upgrading to the 2G era, and was preparing to jump to GSM or CDMA!
