Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 278 The Tall Zheng Yaoyang

"The communication signal fully covers Xiangjiang, reducing or even completely abandoning the current network access fee."

When Zheng Yaoyang talked about his vision for the future of telecommunications, Lin Defu's jaw dropped in shock, as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.

He couldn't help asking: "If the network access fee is given up, how can the company make money?"

Zheng Yaoyang smiled lightly: "Depending on the number of users, mobile communicators should not be a luxury."

Although Lin Defu had a good vision, he was born in this period and was always restricted by the limitations of the times.

The current population of Heung Kong is about 550 million, while Telecom only has more than 400 customers.

These people are undoubtedly the most powerful group in Xiangjiang, but their market share is only 0.3%.

The price of a mobile phone is 4 yuan, and a network connection fee of 5 yuan must be paid before it can be used normally.

Take out nearly 10 yuan in cash at one time, just for the convenience of daily communication.

Most people do not have this rigid demand. Even if they have such a sum of money, they would rather go to a small street store and make a phone call than buy such an expensive item.

If you want long-term sustainable profits, you will inevitably cause huge losses in the early stage.

This is also a bit like the Internet in the future. You are not afraid of a lot of losses in the early stage, but you are afraid that there will be no suitable projects to burn money.

Lin Defu frowned. In his impression, Zheng Yaoyang should not be such an idealistic person.

He paused, and said euphemistically, "Our communication company doesn't care whether the communicator is a luxury."

The network connection fee is indeed collected by them. If Zheng Yaoyang doesn't care about the company's loss after taking over the telecommunications, then they don't need to charge it at all.

However, the expensive mobile communicators are imported from abroad, and the prices are also set by foreign manufacturers. They are agents and earn a little difference.

For example, the mobile phone produced by Motorola, the purchase price of a communicator costs 3.2 yuan.

Unless Motorola is willing to make a profit and reduce the price, they will also appropriately reduce the selling price as appropriate.

If Zheng Yaoyang not only wants to cancel the network access fee, but even sell the communicator at a discount, then Lin Defu needs to doubt Zheng Yaoyang's IQ.

The former can also be said to be investment and cultivate the market, so the latter is purely taken advantage of.

Zheng Yaoyang laughed in astonishment: "Boss Lin, don't you think Mili Technology is just an empty shell?"

He took out two mobile phones from his briefcase, which have been improved many times by Xiao Ziliang's team.

The cost of the ordinary version of PHS has been reduced to 3000 yuan, and the shell is almost made of pure plastic.

The special version of PHS is aimed at the high-end market, and its luxurious appearance has gradually approached Rittal.

The border is not very high-purity hard gold, the back cover is made of sterling silver, and each button is inlaid with diamonds.

He wants to earn money from common people.

He doesn't intend to let go of the money of the rich.

Lin Defu looked at the mobile phone. The ordinary version of the pure plastic PHS is also like a work of art in his eyes.

What's more, the special version of PHS designed as a work of art is small and convenient, and can be held in one hand, even if it is placed in the pocket of a shirt, it is not conspicuous.

This size is just right, Lin Defu couldn't put it down, and at the same time asked: "How does the call quality compare with the standby time and the big brother?"

Zheng Yaoyang smiled and told the detailed data that as long as the communication base station is built and adapted by them, the call quality is not much worse than the traditional satellite signal.

PHS micro-cellular communication technology, after the magical modification of Xiao Ziliang's team, can be regarded as a real 1.5G communication technology, not the Japanese kind of marginal technology.

As long as the appropriate communication frequency is transmitted, the quality of the call will be greatly enhanced, and the scene of living in a bungalow and having to go out of the house to make a call will never appear in the future.

Equipped with the latest Sony lithium battery, it can stand by for 24 hours without a call, and can last up to 90 minutes for a continuous call.

Hearing Lin Defu's question, Zheng Yaoyang couldn't help feeling that there is still a long way to go to turn the communicator into a mobile phone. People's first consideration is call quality and standby time.

He expects that when 2G and even 3G communication technology is developed, that will be the real king bomb.

Lin Defu was silent for a long time, and said with emotion: "Zheng Sheng, you really impress me."

Xiangjiang is very prosperous, but it is only a geographical advantage, and it has become a place of contention between China and the West.

In fact, apart from finance, real estate, and movies, there are almost no products that can be sold.

Lin Defu once wanted to make a career, but under the influence of the general environment, he could only follow the trend.

He sincerely admires Zheng Yaoyang, who can make money by engaging in real estate finance, but devotes himself to communications and manufacturing.

At this moment, the image of Zheng Yaoyang in his heart suddenly became taller.

Lin Defu said: "Sheng Zheng, thank you for your respect, I am willing to take the position of general manager, and I will transfer all the 7.5% shares of Telecom that I personally hold to you, and assist Telecom to complete the plan to delist from the Hang Seng Index."

The opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come again. If he doesn't express his attitude now, he is a pure fool.

Telecom's delisting plan is enough to show that Zheng Yaoyang's ambitions are not limited to Xiangjiang.

As long as there are enough funds, the head of the company is actually willing not to go public. Not only are there many rules, but also it is easy to be seized by others, such as his Heung Kong Telecom.

Zheng Yaoyang stretched out his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Boss Lin, you are welcome to join."

He likes to talk to smart people, because as long as they see the prospects of the company's development, they don't care about the so-called face and airs.

Just like Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage in ancient times, if he was as powerful as Cao Cao and Sun Quan at that time, he would have a cloud of fierce generals and advisers.

The first time Kong Ming refused the invitation, he would be blacklisted, or he would be more ruthless and kill him directly. What he can't get, no one else can get it.

Lin Defu was knowledgeable about current affairs and made the right choice, which made Zheng Yaoyang very satisfied.

The two talked until late at night, basically determining the future development direction of telecommunications, and the top priority is to delist.

The next day, the news that Zheng Yaoyang led the team to the telecommunications headquarters spread like wildfire.

According to an anonymous person familiar with the situation, Zheng Yaoyang's behavior is domineering and unruly, which is a disgrace to the Hong Kong business community.

An epic article, those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears, making people feel as if they were in the scene. At first glance, it is not a third-party ghostwriter, but a bloody and tearful accusation against Zheng Yaoyang by a middle-level and high-level telecom executive.

However, there are a lot of people who scold Zheng Yaoyang, and he has also given birth to professional critics with black fans, so he can't be ranked at all.

The small articles written all night were submerged in the tide of public opinion before splashing water.

It's Friday,
Last working day of the week.

Zheng Yaoyang's acquisition of Telecom is a foregone conclusion. In the morning, the share price rose by as much as 160% by leaps and bounds.

The retail investors of companies controlled by the famous Hongkong God of Wealth do not seek to reach the height of Huanyu, as long as the market value can rise to tens of billions in the future, they will be satisfied.

It was just at noon when two pieces of news suddenly came out.

Let those retail investors who entered the market in the morning feel as if they fell from heaven to eighteen hells in an instant.

First of all, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange agreed to the news that the actual controlling shareholder of Heung Kong Telecom has changed. This news also fully confirms that Zheng Yaoyang's shareholding ratio exceeds 50%.

Secondly, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange agreed to the delisting application of Hong Kong Telecom, and announced that the stock will be permanently suspended from the next working day for asset settlement.

If a company wants to delist from the Hong Kong stock market, there are generally two settlement methods, which are subdivided into active delisting and passive delisting.

Companies that are passively delisted are generally insolvent and can only apply for bankruptcy protection, and investors can only accept repurchases at the issue price, or hold stocks for a long time, waiting for the date of re-listing.

Companies that voluntarily apply for delisting will repurchase their shares at the average price of the past 5 working days, and the fluctuation cannot exceed [-]%. Investors do not accept the repurchase price, and they can hold it for a long time until the date of re-listing.

This special delisting regulation has made it difficult for those retail investors who were desperately trying to squeeze their heads in the morning.

Although the stock price of Hong Kong Telecom has fluctuated greatly during this period, if calculated on an average basis, the final repurchase price is about 4 yuan.

After the hype of various forces in the morning, the stock price of Telecom has broken through the [-] yuan mark, which means that the price will be cut in half, and now it is running faster than anyone else.

As the news was announced, Telecom's share price staged a shocking two-level reversal during the four-hour trading period.

If the stock repurchase price of the company fluctuates by 4% of 5 yuan, then it is 3.80-4.20 yuan. Generally, it is calculated according to the minimum, which is 3.8 yuan.

The work of companies delisting and repurchasing stocks is very cumbersome, ranging from ten days and a half months to a year and a half.

Some people don't want their funds to be tied up, so they can only sell their stocks at a lower price.

Finally, when the market closed at 3.75 o'clock in the afternoon, the share price of Telecom stayed at [-] yuan.
