Reborn since 1993

Chapter 855 Praise and Killing
When the entire PHS industry chain was in the hands of Japan, it did seem to be able to challenge GSM and CDMA.

The attention of the global communications equipment and mobile phone industries has also been drawn to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company!

Many telecommunications industry experts also speculate that PHS will become one of GSM's most important rivals in the world in the future.

It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least for now, many voices and opinions believe that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company will not lose money in this transaction. Although the price of US$14.6 billion is a bit expensive, it will not be said that the loss is too big.

Some Japanese media are even more optimistic and believe that with the large-scale promotion of PHS base stations and Xiaolingtong throughout the world, this money may be earned back in a few years, and may even drive the development of Japan's telecommunications and mobile phone industries.

No matter what the overseas public opinion said, but in China, the news of Dongling Hi-Tech selling Xiaolingtong was reported everywhere.

Because it was already evening, newspapers, magazines and other media had to wait until the next day when new issues were published to report on the event, but on television and the Internet, the event was still very much on the air.

The central media, Hanxi TV, Shanghai TV, and Guangdong TV were all reporting on the news. The news was flooding the Tianya Forum, Yinghaiwei, and various chat rooms.

Nowadays, a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan is not as rare as it was in the 1970s and 1980s, but a household with an annual income of 100,000 yuan or 1 million yuan is still rare.

The transaction with Dongling Hi-Tech is equivalent to the creation of 110,000 millionaires at one time, which is even equivalent to the annual GDP of some cities. How can this not shock the country?
This scene, let alone now, even if it is pushed back ten or twenty years, it is still a shocking transaction. It is enough to make a family the richest in the mainland and be on the list of the richest people in Asia.

However, domestic public opinion on Dongling Hi-Tech's sale of Xiaolingtong is polarized. Some people agree with Dongling Hi-Tech's decision. After all, Xiaolingtong is Dongling Hi-Tech's own industry, and it naturally has the right to decide whether to sell it.

Another voice believes that as a leader in the domestic mobile phone industry, Dongling Hi-Tech's sale of Xiaolingtong will affect the development of the domestic mobile phone industry and even the fate of domestic mobile phones. Selling it is too hasty and irresponsible.

"The telecommunications and mobile phone industries are entering a new stage. In America, old Europe and other places, communication technology has begun to upgrade from the 1G era to the 2G era.

The domestic technology will have to be upgraded sooner or later, and it is difficult to upgrade PHS to 2G technology. In the 2G era, compared with GSM, neither base stations nor mobile phones may have advantages. Selling PHS now is a wise choice for Dongling Hi-Tech! "

The central media's financial channel is also currently having a heated discussion on the Xiaolingtong transaction in its column program.

As an expert in the communications industry, Zhao Zhengxun agrees with Dongling Hi-Tech's decision. It is better to withdraw now and cash out a large amount of cash than to wait until the PHS declines and cannot be sold in the future, right?
But there are also voices that disagree. Another media social commentator Zhou Jingxian said with great sorrow, "Too many domestic brands have been acquired by overseas companies in recent years. Xiaolingtong mobile phones are the representative brand of the domestic and even global technology industry, but now they are being handed over!"

"The sales of PHS phones have not declined yet. What if PHS phones become the technology of 2G era in the future? Then China will lose an international brand, which is a great loss for domestic brands!
Even the sale of Xiaolingtong may affect the development of the domestic mobile phone industry, and Dongling Hi-Tech will become the culprit for delaying the development of the domestic mobile phone industry!"

Zhou Jingxian and Zhao Zhengxun had different viewpoints and were arguing fiercely. One side was arguing from the perspective of technical analysis, while the other side was arguing from the perspective of domestic brands and the influence of the mobile phone industry. The argument was very heated.

On the Tianya Forum, Xiaolingtong's posts spread from the technology section to the entire Tianya Forum. When you open the Tianya Forum, the screen is almost completely filled with Xiaolingtong's posts.

"One hundred and fourteen six hundred million dollars, am I crazy, or is this world crazy, a PHS cell phone is so valuable?"

"I think it's still sold at a low price. This is the third most shipped mobile phone in the world!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to earn this much money in my lifetime!"

"Wake up upstairs, let alone in one lifetime, even ten lifetimes would probably be difficult!"

Regardless of whether you are interested in the technology circle or not, everyone has seen the news about the Xiaolingtong mobile phone through various media channels this time, and various voices of controversy and doubt have also been rampant.

……

After the uproar, Pingyang still did not calm down. There was still a steady stream of media coming to interview Dongling Hi-Tech and Li Dongling.

In addition to the media, people from ZTE, Bird, Ericsson, Microsoft and other companies who had previously come to Pingyang also did not leave. People from these companies were all waiting to meet Li Dongling.

In addition, many domestic companies, even some local municipal investment and investment companies, investment promotion groups, etc., are rushing to Pingyang.

At present, there are a large number of companies in China that are having a hard time due to the impact of Southeast Asia, and some are even on the verge of bankruptcy.

These companies are now unable to get loans or borrow money from banks, so they are desperately trying to grab at any straw.

Now that Dongling Hi-Tech has sold Xiaolingtong and received such a large sum of cash, these companies naturally came running over and wanted to ask Dongling Hi-Tech to help them.

As for those municipal investment companies and investment promotion agencies, they want to attract Dongling Hi-Tech to invest there. No matter whether it is foreign-funded or domestic companies, as long as they can attract investment, it is enough for those places.

The arrival of people from all sides made the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters even more noisy. In addition, the handover with the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company made the entire Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters a bit chaotic. A large group of people gathered at the entrance of the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters. Li Dongling had to temporarily move his office and the meeting place to the Yuhe Leisure Resort, otherwise he would not be able to handle the affairs at all.

……

"Boss Hou!"

"Boss Xu!"

The two cars met at the entrance of Yuhe Leisure Resort. When ZTE General Manager Hou Weigui and Bird boss Xu Lihua got out of the cars, they were surprised when they saw each other, and then greeted each other.

Hou Weigui and Xu Lihua were not very familiar with each other, but ZTE and Bird now both have PHS mobile phone businesses, and the two have dealt with each other to some extent.

When they met in such an occasion, Hou Weigui and the other party both knew clearly what the other party was up to.

"Dongling Hi-Tech really made a big move!"

The two walked towards the Yuhe Leisure Resort, and Hou Weigui said to Xu Lihua with emotion.

"Yes!"

"Now that the PHS mobile phone patent has been acquired by Nippon, I wonder what will happen to the PHS mobile phone industry in the future!"

Xu Lihua also nodded in agreement. Dongling Hi-Tech sold off its PHS business cleanly and efficiently, but this left ZTE and Bird, companies that made base stations and PHS, feeling a little overwhelmed.

In the past, Dongling Hi-Tech relied on PHS patents, technologies, and chips to control these companies and force them to pay Dongling Hi-Tech taxes. Naturally, they were dissatisfied with Dongling Hi-Tech.

But now, without Dongling Hi-Tech as the industry beacon, various manufacturers are at a loss as to what to do next.

Hou Weigui was even more worried. Previously, it was Dongling Hi-Tech that took the lead and prevented Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company from using the PHS patent to reap the benefits of ZTE and others.

But now that Dongling Hi-Tech is gone, given the nature of Nippon Benzene, who knows whether Nippon Benzene Telephone and Telegraph will squeeze the entire PHS industry chain companies in the future.

But Hou Weigui was a little worried. In the future, would the money earned by companies like ZTE from PHS base station communication equipment and mobile phones be snatched away by Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company using patents?

Hou Weigui and Xu Lihua came to the restaurant in Yuhe Leisure Resort and saw that there were quite a few people gathered there.

In addition to the host Li Dongling, Nakamura Weifu, Ed Fleiss of Microsoft, and a man with a foreign face were also present. Hou Weigui had some understanding of this man, but Xu Lihua was a little confused.

"Please sit down!"

When he saw Hou Weigui and the other person, Li Dongling had two sets of tableware served and then introduced them to everyone.

"This is Mr. Carlson, President of Ericsson Greater China!"

After hearing Carlson's identity, Xu Lihua finally knew his background, but he was even more puzzled. He didn't know why Carlson came here. As for the people sitting in the restaurant, except for the people from Microsoft, they were all rivals of Ericsson before.

Li Dongling took a bite of food and while drinking the soup, he looked at the people in the restaurant with interest.

At the moment, this meal may be replaced with a high-sounding name, the trillion-dollar market value company club. If Microsoft, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, Ericsson, ZTE, Bird, and Dongling High-Tech are added, their combined valuations may exceed one trillion dollars.

However, everyone sitting here has their own thoughts, and if all their thoughts were added together, they would be uncontrollable. Now they seem to be toasting and chatting happily, but if they stab each other in the back, they would want to stab each other to death!
Although Li Dongling was the host, Nakamura Weifu was much more active than Li Dongling and talked from time to time.

After wiping the corner of his mouth, Nakamura Weifu asked Li Dongling "humbly", "Mr. Li, I wonder what suggestions you have for Xiaolingtong next?"

Shaking his head, Li Dongling kept his mouth shut in front of Nakamura Weifu, who was in a victorious posture. He complimented him, but Li Dongling knew that Nakamura Weifu didn't want to hear his advice at all, "I guess President Nakamura Weifu already has a strategy in mind.

President Nakamura Weifu is destined to become one of the four great business saints of Japan. There is no need for me to teach him how to do this. In the hands of President Nakamura, Xiaolingtong will definitely reach a higher level!"
