Chapter 464: Money string

Views:

Looking at the things in the drawer, Cheng Ran knew that Jiang Hongshao had given him her breakfast. It seemed that it would not be a good idea to give it back, so Cheng Ran took it and ate it. It was a caterpillar bread, with white cream sandwiched between two long slices of bread. It had a soft, sweet and unique texture. There was also a box of milk. After eating it in two or three bites, he felt full.

During the break of the next class, Cheng Ran went to Jiang Hongshao and said, "I'm done eating. It tastes good."

Jiang Hongshao wrote without looking up, "I feed the pigs."

What a tsundere and cold feeling.

For most people, life is like a huge ship sailing on the vast ocean. The day is sunny and windy, and the ship lights are bright at night. It moves slowly along a set course, and most people do not feel any rough waves.

Every day is probably filled with repetitive work, endless homework, and countless wishes, and the next holiday is nowhere in sight.

But in Cheng Ran's eyes, the calm and peaceful situation was just a decorative appearance. In his eyes, the world was actually changing dramatically and unpredictably every moment.

There are countless incidents of banquet hall collapses happening in every period of time. Ordinary people are on their own track and are unaware of all this. All kinds of news seem to be just a spice of life. How can they know that it is the changes and social evolution occurring on countless levels.

In fact, every node of his rebirth was not so warm and peaceful, for example, Cheng Feiyang founded Fulong, Shanhai rescued Xie Houming, Fulong surrounded the city from the countryside and marched into Rongcheng, and fought hand-to-hand with Beituo, the Lei Wei incident broke out, Qin Xizhen fought against the Luo family... These nodes were all fierce, and they all meant the bloody strangulation behind the veil of sentiment in the late 1990s.

Life is not an easy thing, most people compromise in the face of confrontation. But Cheng Ran is destined to fight against fate alone.

Since his rebirth, he has been changing his past destiny, and even the destiny of the people around him. But these changes themselves have formed a new destiny that he cannot predict. It's like the story of killing the devil but creating a new devil.

Cheng Ran created CQ and let his father create Fulong, but he also had to bear the responsibility for the development, survival and growth of all things related to it. What was coming was still unknown how much blood, rain and storms were hidden. Only at this time, the high school students were tired of school life, and the peaceful daily life was actually the safe haven that Cheng Ran felt connected to.

Even if you are reborn, it does not mean that you have a strong heart. Many things are a burden of varying degrees on your shoulders.

For example, as your career develops, the partners who gather around you become connected with your life. That means you also shoulder the goal of growing and developing the career that carries their lives and aspirations.

The storms and gales in this world are tests of the wisdom, energy and will of the person at the helm.

In this regard, his father Cheng Feiyang actually did a very good job.

With the collapse of the Lei Wei Group, several powerful newspapers in the Chinese media focused their attention on Chengdu. Some of them were keen on discovering Cheng Feiyang, a typical figure who was a hot topic in the news.

In the 1980s and mid-to-late 1990s, when the domestic program-controlled computer market was in chaos due to the seven countries and eight systems, local forces emerged. At that time, Wu Jichuan, the Minister of Information Industry, named the company "Daxing Nanbei" after the first characters of the four famous domestic communication equipment manufacturers, namely Datang, Zhongxing, Nandian, and Becom. The literal meaning also implies that China's telecommunications industry can have its own backbone.

Except for ZTE, the other three companies are all driven by state-owned capital, with the government's special care, policy and resource tilt, which opens the door to convenience. It also represents the government's determination to generate a force to break the deadlock in the country.

The "Daxing North and South" companies lived up to expectations, with local manufacturers intervening in the competition and providing restraint, so that the long-high prices of foreign-controlled telecommunications equipment dropped rapidly, and the four companies were able to gain a firm foothold.

But due to technological innovations in the late 1990s, mobile and data communications replaced traditional switches, and the telecommunications industry entered a key transformation cycle, and a gap immediately appeared among several companies.

Ironically, when the transformation cycle arrives, the three state-owned and central enterprises with the strongest backgrounds and the largest origins are the ones that are least able to adapt to the changes.

Both Beitong and Nandian have experienced many problems to varying degrees, such as the joint shareholding and investment by several state-owned enterprises, conflicts among state-owned shareholders, long-term turbulence in the management team, dull market perception, and technical decision-making errors, which have led to their overall backwardness.

As a central enterprise, Datang Telecom did not have the internal state-owned cross-holding structure contradictions of Bet365 and Nanfang Dian Power, but it also had the problems of a big company and turmoil in the management. At that time, it was still struggling. Backed by the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, Datang had no shortage of talents and was located in the capital, a place full of talents. However, such a central enterprise with no shortage of resources and talents ended up with poor management due to the problems of a big company. In the later period, it made a desperate attempt to use tens of billions of yuan and countless manpower and material resources to try to create the industry standard TD-SCDMA, which was the China Mobile 3G network that we briefly experienced that year.

At that time, China Telecom used the CDMA2000 system with a download speed of over 10M, and China Unicom used the WCDMA system with a download speed of 10M. However, China Mobile's 3G peak was only 4M, with slow speed and low coverage. This standard became a laughing stock and almost brought down China Mobile. Later, China Mobile turned around and invested in the 4G network, leaving Datang aside and no longer wanted to play with it.

As a result, this once prosperous state-owned enterprise eventually fell into sustained losses, which can be described as "a tattered hat covering its face as it walks through a busy street, a leaky boat carrying wine floating in the middle of the stream."

On the contrary, ZTE, which started out as a private enterprise, has been developing as a backbone in the "Daxing North and South" system, demonstrating extremely tenacious vitality.

If ZTE is the embodiment of the tenacious vitality of private enterprises among telecommunications equipment manufacturers at the moment, then Fulong, which was not originally in this system "selected" by the Minister of Information but has emerged in the past two years, is the embodiment of the competitiveness of private enterprises.

After receiving the news, many newspapers that dared to criticize the current situation rushed to Chengdu. On the way, they had already studied all kinds of information about Fu Long. The more they read, the more they admired him.

This company originated in the southwest. It was originally a branch institute in Shanhai City of Huatong Electronics Company, a former state-owned enterprise established in Sichuan Province in 1985. When Huatong Company was not doing well and was transferring its assets, the Shanhai Institute was separated and Fulong Company was established. It was with the enthusiasm of the institute that it developed its own high-capacity programmable computer products. Thus, Fulong Company got its start.

In a short period of time, with "low-cost on-call after-sales service", it expanded to third-tier cities and towns, accumulated technology and funds, and developed a meteorological disaster warning system last year, which played a role in warning and reducing damage to life and property before the flood. Now this company is legendary. It has acquired its old owner Huatong in Chengdu at a high price, and expanded on the original basis. Now the market in Sichuan Province has defeated the old brand Betuo Company, which has been operating here for a long time, and has occupied more than 80% of the market size.

In this year's telecommunications industry sales report, local company ZTE achieved sales of RMB 4.8 billion, followed by Fulun with RMB 3.5 billion, Bet365 with RMB 2.8 billion, Nandian with RMB 1.7 billion, and Datang with RMB 900 million.

With such an experience, it was inevitable that these newspapers would compete to interview him.

However, due to Cheng Feiyang's low profile, the newspaper media that came to Chengdu were unable to interview him in person, and were instead represented by the company's vice president Zheng Jianfeng.

Zheng Jianfeng is a technology geek. The media cannot get many stories about him. He can only talk about data and reports.

The reporters who were interviewing the reporter shook their heads.

But there was no way, Cheng Feiyang refused to be interviewed, and they used their connections, but found out... Cheng Feiyang himself was not a big celebrity, and the connections they had at high positions, who could interview department officials and even ministries, were simply not enough to reach him down to lower levels.

Southern Weekend highlighted the peculiarity of this enterprise by saying "Fulong is a dynamic and low-key telecommunications manufacturer in the southwest!"

Of course, although Fulong has entered the media's field of vision, it is not the most popular one.

Currently, the largest private telecommunications equipment manufacturer in China is still ZTE. Although Fulun ranks second, it is still the same old saying that people will only remember that the first astronaut to enter space was Gagarin, and the first human to land on the moon was Armstrong. The halos of those who come after are naturally dimmer.

However, Cheng Ran saw the report in the newspaper at home and said to Cheng Feiyang, "So far, Fulong's sales have reached 3.5 billion. How much is the net profit? Is it 500 million?"

"How can there be so many!" Cheng Feiyang said unhappily. Looking at his son's shining eyes, he thought of how he opened a shop to make money. He thought that he might not care enough about this boy.

I don't even know when I grew a money-grabbing head.
