Chapter 293 The wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low
Nowadays, the domestic communications market is being impacted by a number of foreign brands. Japan's Nec and Fujitsu, Canada's Nortel, Ericsson, Siemens, Lucent, and Belgium's BTM and Alcatel are the dominant players in the communications industry today.
This is no joke. The formats, standards, patents, etc. of the global communications industry are basically controlled by eight companies in these seven countries. Although the fields are different, it is true that the communications industry is controlled by these companies.
.
When standards and patents are in the hands of these companies, it is difficult not to make money. Now the entire Southeast Asian communications industry, including domestic ones, is constantly being impacted by these eight companies.
Of course, the domestic communications industry is also developing. Now there are four major communications manufacturers represented by Julong, Datang, ZTE and Juhua Factory. But these are not the only four. The communications industry these days can be called a hundred.
Everyone is singing together, no matter whether they make money or not, there are communication manufacturers almost everywhere in the country!
For example, Julong licensed its technology to 14 peers back then, and other manufacturers also licensed each other. As a result, these manufacturers started fighting among themselves in order to grab orders, and they bargained with each other. The fight was not too fierce.
However, in the past few years, the domestic local communications industry has basically formed the current situation of giant, big, China and China. Now, as the leader of domestic communications, it is Julong Communications, with annual revenue of more than
With a revenue of RMB 3 billion, the Chrysanthemum Factory's revenue last year was only half of that of the Dragon, but it has grown rapidly and has set a revenue target of RMB 2.5 billion this year.
This year, the Chrysanthemum Factory is undergoing changes. The marketing department has undergone a huge change at the beginning of this year. The "wolf nature" culture has been officially introduced. In addition, it is in contact with IBM and is preparing to apprentice with IBM.
In the international market, Chrysanthemum Factory is also making moves, contacting Li Chaoren's Hutchison Telecom, hoping to use Hutchison Telecom to use the port city as a springboard to enter markets such as Southeast Asia and even Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Because these markets are all emerging markets, as for markets such as North America and Western Europe, they have long been occupied by the eight communications giants.
But just when the Chrysanthemum Factory was having difficult negotiations with Hutchison Telecom, the marketing department of the Chrysanthemum Factory suddenly received an order of US$97 million!
Boss Ren, who has reached the age of knowing his destiny, was having a meeting with several senior executives as usual, when the manager of the marketing department suddenly rushed into the meeting room.
"Mr. Ren, this is an order from America Telecom!" the marketing manager broke into the conference room and said to Boss Ren.
Hearing this sudden order, the whole conference room was a little confused. This is almost the largest order in recent years, equivalent to nearly half of last year's revenue!
Boss Ren was also a little surprised. We were still negotiating with Hong Kong City, and America Telecom suddenly received a big gift package from the sky.
Juhua Factory had also heard about America Telecom, but didn't pay much attention to it. But suddenly, America Telecom, which had nothing to do with it, made a phone call worth nearly 100 million U.S. dollars to Juhua Factory.
A series of communication equipment orders such as network, broadband and even base stations.
Boss Ren was shocked when he looked at the order. If the marketing department hadn't brought this order along with a deposit of US$20 million, he would have suspected that he had encountered a scammer again...
These order equipment were purchased by America Telecom for the Asian market. In addition to cooperating with SoftBank on telecommunications business, Aigel has been flying to Singapore, Asan, Siam, Malaysia, Bangzi and other markets in the past few days, following
Singtel and Asan's telecom operators have reached cooperation and received many orders.
Never mind whether America Telecom is a covert company in America, but in these places, it represents a "technologically advanced" company. In this world, it is so outrageous. It can do what it does, but it can't boast that it is popular...
Think about it, America Telecom has made billions of dollars by relying on the line from Chicago to Wall Street. This has become a "miracle" in the global communications industry. It can compete with giants like WorldCom and even kill them.
After AOL, you can say that America Telecom is not the largest company in the telecommunications industry, but if you ask who is the most popular company this year, the name of America Telecom will definitely appear.
Regardless of whether it is just luck or not, it is true that America Telecom can make money. Telecom operators in Singapore, Bangzi, Asan and other places also have this idea and are cooperating with America Telecom.
Inside the Chrysanthemum Factory, Boss Ren looked at the orders and documents in his hand. In addition to the order issued to the Chrysanthemum Factory, there was also a document inviting the Chrysanthemum Factory to join the Yanjing Telecom Laboratory established by America Telecom and Yinghaiwei.
The Chrysanthemum Factory is building a laboratory in the electronic R&D industrial park base in Yangcheng, which is still in the process of enclosing land.
Orders, overseas markets, technology research and development, if these hadn't all appeared before his eyes, any boss would have wondered whether the liar who deceived him before had returned to the world, and was simply giving away pillows when he fell asleep.
After only hesitating for a moment, Boss Ren and the executives of Juhua Factory decided to accept these orders. Although they were still a little suspicious, they didn't know why America Telecom favored Juhua Factory over Julong for such a large order.
, including experimental research and development, etc., Chrysanthemum Factory really has no reason to give up.
And after accepting this order, America Telecom will help Chrysanthemum Factory to obtain communication equipment licenses from Japan, Bangzi, Singapore and other places. This is something that Chrysanthemum Factory has been struggling for a long time but has not obtained. With this license
, it is almost natural for Chrysanthemum Factory to enter overseas markets.
This time, America Telecom was evenly matched. It only gave an order to Chrysanthemum Factory, which was a bit too eye-catching. Manufacturers such as Julong, Datang, and ZTE have all received orders, but they are basically worth several million to tens of millions of dollars.
Wait, compared to the orders of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars from the Chrysanthemum Factory, that is far inferior.
On the plane, Song Yang stared at the clouds. Greg, Marcus and others were sorting out the orders, investments and expenditures for this time in Asia. Gallo had already started shouting.
From time to time, Song Yang took over a document that Marcus brought to him to sign. This trip to Asia cost a lot of money and almost wiped out more than half of Song Yang's cash flow.
These documents naturally include orders for Chrysanthemum Factory. America Telecom purchases equipment from domestic communication equipment manufacturers. The reason is of course very simple. It is cheap. If the same equipment is purchased from manufacturers such as Alcatel and Lucent, the cost will almost double.
!
As for whether Alcatel has any objections, Song Yang has nothing to do with it. The cooperation agreement signed stipulates that equipment must be purchased from Alcatel in America, but there is no provision for purchasing equipment in the Asian market.
, they also have to purchase from Alcatel, no wonder Song Yang is here.
"Song, I have to remind you that your cash flow is very tight now and you need to make adequate preparations. You have invested too much in the Asian Internet market and Alcatel mobile phone business!"
Marcus reminded Song Yang with a serious expression. Most of Song Yang's current net worth is in the Internet industry, but that is under the premise that the Internet industry is a big player. If the Internet collapses, Song Yang's net worth will also be wiped out.
Marcus supports Song Yang's entry into the telecommunications, mobile phone, and film industries, but Song Yang's level of money burning is really too high. Previously, the American media complained that Song Yang Grandet was not like an American.
A person from Liga.
But after these two months, I guess no one will say those words. In just two months, the acquisition of Alcatel and the trip to Asia have cost Songyang no less than 600 to 700 million U.S. dollars. Now it is estimated that America’s
It's time for the media to say that Song Yang was a prodigal.
Song Yang nodded, and then said something that shocked Marcus, "Before the end of this year, the Americas Global Investment Fund needs to raise another amount of funds, including borrowing funds from banks for more than three years.
The scale cannot be less than a billion dollars!”
Marcus looked at Song Yang in shock, wondering what Song Yang was going to do. Song Yang had burned enough money this year, but now he seemed to have no intention of giving up, and even wanted to prepare more funds.
"Song..."
Song Yang waved his hand and stopped Marcus from asking further questions, "You will know by then that this fund is very important!"
This money is used by Song Yang. He is going to drink soup with Soros next year. He needs to prepare funds in advance. Whether he is fishing in troubled waters or cutting leeks, he needs enough cash flow. Such a large amount of cash
, it definitely needs to be prepared in advance.
Song Yang was a little tired during this trip to Asia. When the plane arrived at the San Jose Airport, as soon as Song Yang left the airport, a large group of reporters surrounded him.
"Song, why do you invest so much in Asia?"
"There is news claiming that Song is transferring property. Is the news true?"
"Song, will you leave America?!"
"From the Internet to the mobile phone industry, Song, do you think it can still maintain its miracle?"
After getting off the plane, reporters from all walks of life caught up with Song Yang and asked him various questions, but most of them were questioning, questioning why Song Yang invested so much in Asia, whether entering the mobile phone industry was a waste of money, etc.
"I believe that it won't be long before Wall Street, as well as investment companies from Europe and the world, will enter there. We are just taking the first step, and a second Silicon Valley will appear there!"
With Ulf and Gallo leading the way, Song Yang spoke to the reporters before getting into the car.
Regarding Song Yang's trip to Asia, there are many people who question it, and there are even conspiracy theories that Song Yang is trying to cut leeks this time.
Because on the day Song Yang came back, Song Yang announced that there would be a second Silicon Valley in Asia, and the Nasdaq rose sharply again that day.
Nasdaq, which is in the midst of a frenzy, only lacks a reason, and Song Yang's return is undoubtedly another reason. Internet companies that threaten to "go overseas" to seize the market begin to appear one after another.
Even the stock prices of Telephone and Telegraph Group, Enron and other stocks are soaring. America Telecom has obtained orders in Southeast Asia, which is also good for the shareholders of these two America Telecom. For technology stocks that are in the fever period, any slight disturbance
