Reborn since 1993

Chapter 861 The Gift of Destiny

Seeing that the PHS industry was booming under the leadership of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, many domestic PHS mobile phone manufacturers naturally began to regain hope.

In addition, without the constraints of Dongling Hi-Tech, the leading big brother, domestic mobile phone manufacturers began to let themselves go.

Previously, when Dongling Hi-Tech authorized its patents to domestic PHS mobile phone manufacturers, there was a requirement that the products could only be sold in small and medium-sized cities and county-level markets in China.

This is the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, using them to develop the domestic mobile phone market!
Another most important point is that PHS mobile phone brands other than Xiaolingtong are not allowed to sell to overseas markets.

This is also the reason why so many mobile phone manufacturers criticized and scolded Dongling Hi-Tech before, thinking that Dongling Hi-Tech was too domineering and wanted to monopolize the market!

But, in fact, when the PHS mobile phone industry was constrained by Dongling Hi-Tech, although the major mobile phone manufacturers did not make huge profits and were charged a share by Dongling Hi-Tech, the price war was not fierce.

But now, all these constraints and restrictions have disappeared!

While Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company was vigorously promoting its PHS business, a number of domestic mobile phone manufacturers, after a period of panic, began to increase their production capacity and prepare to enter major cities such as Yanjing, as well as to get a share of the overseas mobile phone market.

The entire PHS mobile phone industry is undercurrent. It won’t be long before a brutal price war sweeping across the domestic and even overseas PHS mobile phone markets begins!

……

Seeing that the PHS mobile phone industry was not declining but was in full swing and seemed to be even more prosperous, Hou Weigui, the head of ZTE, and Xu Lihua, the boss of Bird, who had met Li Dongling, could not help but feel hesitant.

"Mr. Hou, are we really not going to expand ZTE's PHS mobile phone production capacity?"

"There's news from Hong Kong City that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company has announced that the development of PHS 2G technology has been successful. It won't be long before PHS will enter the 2G era. Who knows, by then, the telecommunications industry may really be in the era of PHS!"

"Yes, Mr. Hou, the PHS base station orders are our most profitable business. Are you really not going to continue the research and development?"

"I heard that the Chrysanthemum Factory next door is running out of money because of their research and development of GSM base stations!"

"What if Dongling Hi-Tech really miscalculated this time? Could it be that Li Dongling really couldn't be wrong?"

At the ZTE headquarters, Hou Weigui, who had just returned to Pengcheng from Hanxi, listened to the various ZTE executives talking at once. It was clear that none of them were willing to give up the PHS industry easily because it really made money.

Hou Weigui was also hesitant when listening to the words of the ZTE executives present. Now the question before him was whether to believe Dongling Hi-Tech or Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company!

In the end, Hou Weigui shook his head with difficulty. He didn't know much about Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, but he was familiar with Dongling Hi-Tech.

Dongling Hi-Tech has never lost a battle since its debut. Who dares to say that it will really suffer a Waterloo this time?
PHS mobile phones seem to be very popular at the moment, but who can guarantee how long they can last?

But over the years, countless facts have proved that no matter how you feel about Dongling Hi-Tech, whether you hate it or envy it, you can really get meat by following it, and as long as you are not too greedy and follow Dongling Hi-Tech's footsteps closely, you can also avoid pitfalls!

"ZTE will not completely abandon the PHS industry!"

Hou Weigui said, "However, we can no longer invest all our resources in the PHS industry. From today on, we must step up the research and development of GSM and CDMA base stations and mobile phone technologies!"

As the leader who brought ZTE to its current state, his position in ZTE is the same as Li Dongling's in Dongling Hi-Tech.

Even though some ZTE executives were still dissatisfied, Hou Weigui still used his prestige to suppress these opinions!

……

ZTE began to transform, and so did Bird. Faced with public opinion in the domestic mobile phone industry that began to question Dongling Hi-Tech, Xu Lihua still rejected all objections and allowed Bird to begin its transformation.

However, unlike ZTE’s technology research and development, Bird has chosen a different path, which is to cooperate with overseas manufacturers!
"This may be the most important moment in Bird's history. Bird has gone through the pager and PHS eras and is now facing new choices!"

Xu Lihua said to the other three of Bird's Four Heroes: Pu Jie, Xu Xiguang and Sui Bo.

Xu Lihua knew clearly that in terms of funding, Bird could not compete with Dongling Hi-Tech, and in terms of mobile phone technology, ZTE could now crush Bird. Bird had only one other option, which was to "borrow troops".

“Bird needs to accept the cooperation of the old European company Sagem and use Sagem’s technology and products to help Bird open the door to GSM mobile phones!”

Xu Lihua's plan was to first cooperate with Sagem, have Bird brand Sagem's mobile phones and start selling them domestically.

Then they would import parts from Sagem, assemble and outsource them, and eventually produce mobile phones themselves. This way, Bird could produce GSM mobile phones at the lowest cost. "Old Xu, we all listen to you!"

After hearing Xu Lihua's words, Pu Jie and others who had followed Xu Lihua to fight for the world over the years looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The development of Bird over the years has proved Xu Lihua's vision and courage. From the earliest pagers to the PHS mobile phones, Bird has developed smoothly. Now that Xu Lihua has decided to transform Bird again, Pu Jie and others will naturally not object.

Different choices will lead to different results, just like a gift from fate!
Now, in the domestic mobile phone industry, manufacturers such as Dongling Hi-Tech, ZTE, and Bird have begun to withdraw from the PHS mobile phone industry.

In addition, the mobile phone camp led by UTStarcom is still ambitious and ready to make a big move in the PHS mobile phone industry.

What the final outcome of these two choices will be can only be proven by time. However, when that day really comes, the loser may have to pay a heavy price and may not even have the chance to regret it!

……

A banner was hung in a hotel in Hanxi Shangzhong, "Celebrating the establishment of Hanxi Tang Pharmaceutical Company in Shangzhong!"

The media present were mainly from Shangzhong and Hanxi. Compared with Sanzhu’s previous scenes, today’s scene could be said to be quite low-key.

Wu Siwei, Hanxi Guotou's general manager Wu Yaoguo, and Shangzhong Municipal Government all appeared in the hotel conference room and signed the contract.

Wu Siwei acted quickly. After reaching an agreement with Li Dongling, he immediately severed the relationship between Sanzhu Chinese Medicine and Sanzhu Group and changed its name to Tangyao Company.

We also hope that this Chinese medicine company can go abroad and enter overseas markets like it did during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and become a representative company of Chinese medicine in the world's pharmaceutical industry!

When Wu Siwei signed the contract, he felt mixed emotions. This meant that he had nothing to do with Sanzhu anymore. To him, Sanzhu had completely become a thing of the past, and from now on there would only be Tangyao Company!

"Boss Wu, happy cooperation in the future!"

After Wu Yaoguo, Liang Bohua and Wu Siwei exchanged the contract, Wu Yaoguo said to Wu Siwei.

For Hanxi State Investment, which is now well-known among the state-owned investment companies in various provinces in China, this investment in Tangyao is just a "small" investment.

Hanxi Guotou took 1.1% of Tangyao’s equity for RMB 15 million. Hanxi Guotou’s investment was more due to Li Dongling.

Otherwise, given the current decline of traditional Chinese medicine in China, Hanxi Guotou would not easily invest in Tangyao Company. But when this was proposed by Li Dongling, the situation was completely different.

Hanxi State-owned Investment has certainly not yet reached the level of its predecessors, Pengcheng State-owned Assets and Shanghai State-owned Assets, which control assets worth trillions of RMB, but it has already become well-known.

Feiyan Technology, Torch Group, Doxin Semiconductor, Focus Media and other companies all have Hanxi Investment's presence, making it a leader among domestic state-owned investment companies!

Liang Bohua was much more enthusiastic towards Wu Siwei. Shangzhong City Investment acquired shares in Tangyao Company with land and other preferential conditions, and also obtained 15% of Tangyao's equity.

At present, the major shareholder of Tangyao Company has become Zhixing Foundation. Wu Siwei has become the second largest shareholder with 30% of the shares. Hanxi Guotou and Shangzhong Chengtou each hold 15% of the shares.

It seems that Wu Siwei has lost a large part of Tang Pharmaceutical Company's shares, but in fact, he knows in his heart that with the support of Zhixing Foundation, Hanxi State Investment, and Shangzhong Municipal Government, Tang Pharmaceutical Company is already "stable"!

Even if it wants to fall, it is estimated that it will be difficult. Behind the Zhixing Foundation is Dongling Hi-Tech, and behind Hanxi Guotou is the Hanxi Provincial Government. With the support of these two companies alone, Tangyao is equivalent to a bottom line. No matter how badly it does, it is estimated that it will not fall. As long as it makes achievements in the future, it will not be difficult to be recommended by Hanxi Guotou for listing!

Over the years, only Shangzhong and other Hanxi municipal governments know how envious they are of Pingyang next door.

In the past, everyone lived a hard life together, the eldest brother did not laugh at the younger brother, and their lives were all the same. But now, Pingyang's GDP, per capita income, infrastructure and other aspects are almost double that of other cities in western China, which makes Shangzhong and other municipal governments feel a little uncomfortable.

Liang Bohua has always wanted to bring Dongling Hi-Tech into business investment, and since last year, it has finally paid off.

Shangci Company, which was invested by Oriental Times Shopping Mall, has emerged and is now developing rapidly. It has gradually become the leading brand of domestic ceramic tiles. Shangci also has the potential to become a representative company of Shangzhong City.

Now, Tangyao Company has emerged. Although it is not a direct investment by Dongling Hi-Tech, with the investment from Zhixing Foundation, it is equivalent to the Li family's industry.

Moreover, Tangyao Company is very compatible with Shangzhong. With the purchase of Tangyao Company, Shangzhong can start to promote the cultivation of medicinal materials on a large scale. The income of Shangzhong farmers can be greatly increased. This is definitely a huge achievement for the Shangzhong Municipal Government!
Once the traditional Chinese medicine industry rises in the business world and can form an industrial chain from planting to processing, and then to research and development and pharmaceutical manufacturing, there will be a possibility that a new representative company will emerge in the business world, and it will be a company that can provide a large number of jobs and tax revenue. How can Liang Bohua not be excited about this?
