Standing in front of Zheng Yaoyang, a tall man from the Northeast who was over 1.9 meters tall, looked as cramped as a primary school student.
He guessed that Ma Yun's noble person would have a great background, but he did not expect that it would be Zheng Yaoyang, the richest man in Hong Kong.
After many years of reselling career, Hu Si would spend most of his time taking the initiative to inquire about the local customs and the distribution of power whenever he went to a strange place.
He was born in a border town in Heilong Province, which is located in the chicken's mouth of the motherland. Xiangjiang is located in the chicken's belly. The two places are more than 3,000 kilometers away. He has only seen and heard about it on TV.
Through two days of field visits and investigations, Hu Si learned that before 1988, Hong Kong Island was also known as Baojiagang, and Bao was Bao Yugang's Bao.
It took the shipping king five years to abandon his ship and land, acquire Wharf and Wheelock successively, become the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered, and let his eldest son-in-law join HSBC as a director. The Bao family was in full swing.
From 1988 to the present, in just two years, Baojiagang among the people gradually began to evolve into Zhengjiagang.
It’s all about Zheng Yaoyang, who rules the entire entertainment industry vigorously and vigorously, and builds the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s No. 1 World Group in terms of market capitalization.
A year later, it spent tens of billions to acquire the Science and Technology Port, directly monopolizing the communications industry and becoming the only communications provider and communications equipment manufacturer in Hong Kong.
According to statistics from the Financial News, Zheng Yaoyang's net worth may reach US$6 billion. Coinciding with Japan's economic crisis this year, the net worth of regulars on Asia's rich list has shrunk sharply.
Therefore, Zheng Yaoyang is very likely to become the richest man in Asia and the richest Chinese this year, and become the first double crown winner since the opening of Xiangjiang.
Not only that, he also received an invitation from that person to participate in last year's celebration, which was an even greater honor.
Hu Si was so excited that he couldn't describe it. He didn't expect that he would be able to meet Zheng Yaoyang and work under him by accident. It was simply a tribute to his ancestors.
Zheng Yaoyang looked him over and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Hu, Lao Ma told me about your situation, and it's thanks to your care along the way."
Hu Si's face turned red and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are too polite. It's all because of Teacher Ma who took good care of me all the way."
"Thank you for your hard work on these two trips. I just have fun in Xiangjiang these days and have a lot of fun. If you encounter something that you can't handle, you can call me."
Zheng Yaoyang did not stay long. After staying in Los Angeles for two months, there was a backlog of things to deal with in Hong Kong.
There is basically no need to worry about Huanyu's work. It has been listed and everything is on track. It's just that there is something wrong with the telecommunications company or the communications industry.
In the afternoon, Zheng Yaoyang came to the headquarters of Xiangjiang Telecom and saw Lin Defu and asked about the cause of the matter.
Lin Defu took out today's front page morning newspaper: "Mr. Zheng, tomorrow Nokia will join hands with KPN Telecom to launch a 2G digital communication pilot in Rotterdam."
KPN is the abbreviation of Royal Dutch Telecommunications Group and is also a strategic partner of Nokia. The two companies have maintained a long-term cooperative relationship.
Nokia will join hands with KPN to launch the world's first 2G communicator, named 1011.
Not only can it store 99 numbers, it also has 120 minutes of call time. The most important thing is that 1011 has a revolutionary innovation, the SMS function.
Whether 1G communication or 2G communication, both generations of technology are revolutionary innovations that subvert the industry.
1G communication technology allows people to have convenient communication methods and completes the transition from wired to wireless.
The most important function of 2G communication technology is data transmission, with a rate between 10-100kb.
Although the transmission rate is small and can only send text, it also makes the communicator no longer limited to communication, and has the possibility of transforming into a 'machine'.
Including later 3G4G, and even before the emergence of 5G Internet of Things, communication technology was improved on the basis of 2G to enhance data transmission.
Whether it is Zheng Yaoyang or Lin Defu, they actually know the various functions of 2G communication technology better than Nokia, and they also know better how to use them.
What really made them feel a sense of crisis was an unflattering message in the article.
Nokia Group joined hands with KPN Telecom to launch the GSM network format and SIM card, and also announced the access technology of the GSM network format.
They keep saying that they share it with friends and businessmen for free, but in reality they just want to set industry standards.
If their pilot is successful and quickly promoted globally, in the future, in the field of 2G communications, all communications providers must implement production according to the standards they set.
First-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products.
Any leading company wants to become the setter of industry standards, because in the standards they set, they are the uncrowned king.
Zheng Yaoyang pondered for a while and asked: "How is the research and development of our 2G technology going?"
He thought that it should be the birth of PHS, which made money everywhere, which led to the emergence of 2G technology more than half a year in advance.
In fact, there is no need to worry about the mainland market. We had agreed with Mayor Li that their technology, as long as it does not lag too far behind, will be the only standard for the mainland.
Moreover, most cities in the mainland currently have no market demand for 2G. After all, the penetration rate of landline phones is only 1.5%, which is directly two versions behind the times.
The key is that Xiangjiang, Aomen, and Baodao are basically developed areas, with average annual incomes of US$9,000-13,000.
As long as the price is right, they will become the main force in buying Nokia 2G mobile phones.
In the past six months, it is inevitable that some people were jealous when they saw PHS making huge profits, and took the initiative to contact KPN to introduce 2G digital technology. It is not impossible.
Lin Defu replied: "Mr. Xiao, I received a call after seeing the news this morning. Our 2G technology has been successfully developed, but there are still many shortcomings, such as data transmission failure, fluctuating communication quality, etc."
Their 2G technology research and development is more difficult, because the two signals need to share a signal tower, and 2G cannot run smoothly without conflicting with analog signals.
Just like a piece of paper that has been painted, you need to add a scenery on top of the original scenery, and there should be no rejection of the original scenery.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Zheng Yaoyang picked up the local newspaper on the table, which basically slandered Xiangjiang Telecom and him.
What's more, in order to attract attention, the title was printed that Zheng Yaoyang will face the biggest defeat in his life.
In Xiangjiang during this period, there were patriots, but there were more rebels and thieves. There were always people who thought that imported goods were good and fragrant.
Another part is simply dissatisfied with Zheng Yaoyang, thinking that he should also taste the taste of failure during his two years of dominance.
Two generations, grandfather and grandson, turned Hong Kong Island into Baojiagang and today's Zhengjiagang.
If you find an opportunity and don't suppress it, wouldn't it make outsiders mistakenly think that they have no one in Hong Kong?
Zheng Yaoyang paused and asked: "Did Wang Wenyang of Baodao and Li Zhekai of Han State say anything?"
Lin Defu said: "Wang Sheng and Li Sheng have not called to inquire about the situation so far. I heard from the staff there that everything is going according to step and the original plan has not been disrupted because of the launch of 2G."
"It seems they still have confidence in us."
The corners of Zheng Yaoyang's mouth raised slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Then we can't let them down."
"We will release some news tomorrow, including our investment in communication technology experiments at universities such as Hong Kong University and Tsinghua University, as well as my personal holding of 43% of Fujitsu's shares and becoming the largest shareholder of the group, and our 2G communication mobile phone, which will be launched soon.
."
After ten years without anyone asking, becoming famous all at once is indeed exciting and very topical, but it is only suitable for the emerging dark horse forces, not Zheng Yaoyang.
Since someone else makes a move, he must take the move, even if it takes a little time.
As long as it is delayed until early August and the Gulf War begins, people's attention will be diverted.
Lin Defu was suddenly stunned: "Fujitsu? Mr. Zheng, when did you acquire it?"
"Didn't I tell you?"
Zheng Yaoyang said calmly: "I acquired it a few months ago, but I kept suppressing the news."
Lin Defu shook his head dullly. Fujitsu's reputation was not well known. Most people may have never heard of this company.
But semiconductor-related practitioners are different. In their view, Fujitsu has almost no shortcomings except that it is not a first-tier brand.
Zheng Yaoyang quietly acquired Fujitsu and held 43% of the shares. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has absolute control.
