Views:

Knowing that Zhao Yi has such a huge source of funds, even if there were hidden dangers in the crazy expansion in recent years, they will be offset by the current huge funds.

Putting aside this worry, Lin Hexia suddenly took a closer look at the young man who had just turned 20 years old in front of him. The hair on his mouth had not turned black, but his wealth was astonishing. The top richest people in the world were definitely not as rich as Zhao Yi. , and it’s unclear whether those top big families have Zhao Yi’s money.

Lin Hexia's family members are also members of the government, and they know the domestic social system and actual situation very well. This understanding makes Zhao Yi a little worried about whether there will be problems with privately owning such huge assets in the country.

Although Lin Hexia's family members are involved in politics and have been exposed to it since childhood, they have not deliberately participated in it. The current attitude of the top management is not very clear. Although the reform and opening up was proposed in 1979, there are still some things that have emerged in the past few years. recurring situation.

Lin Hexia now has a grasp of the quasi-domestic situation, and does not understand Zhao Yi's current status in the country. However, it is certain that Zhao Yi does not hold a political position that she does. You must know that Zhao Yi has achieved extremely great results. One, at least has the title of National People's Congress representative, but currently Zhao Yi has no position and seems to be a simple businessman.

In fact, Lin Hexia didn't know that this situation was actually the result of Zhao Yi's ability to maintain it. According to his academic achievements, he could have a professor title in any university, but he did not fight for it and even refused the relevant invitation.

Although China has not yet had the status of a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, as in later generations, those who have a little bit of business success have the status of a deputy to the National People's Congress. If they are still influential in terms of social reputation, it is not impossible to join the CPPCC. .

But Zhao Yi's business achievements are too high. He is not just an ordinary traditional businessman. He has no special role for the country. As long as the national policy is tilted casually, a large number of people will be created. How dare to challenge the tiger like Wang Wanda? Yes, it didn't end badly in the end.

Most of the companies under Zhao Yi are in high-tech industries, and they are industries that make up for domestic gaps or backward industries. This kind of industry cannot be filled by the tilt of national policies. It must continue to invest, and it may not be successful in the future.

The status of this kind of businessmen is much higher than that of traditional businessmen. They are the core competitiveness of the country in the world and cannot be easily defeated. An example is Huawei. In the face of foreign attacks, the country has personally faced the consequences.

If a real estate developer is targeted, will the country take action personally? I don’t think so, because the fall of one real estate developer in China will lead to the rise of thousands of real estate developers.

Because this kind of traditional business has no technical content, and many of them are in gray areas. To put it bluntly, if the country doesn’t want to mess with you, just be honest. If the country wants to mess with you, your criminal materials will be A lot of them, who told you that your butt is not clean

Zhao Yi is different. Not only does his assets come from clean sources, but he also has a huge boost to the country. As I said just now, the annual output value of a single agricultural and animal husbandry company accounts for about 30% of GDP. Such an enterprise has already It is too big to fail, not to mention there are a bunch of high-tech companies behind it, which are now famous internationally. In particular, the mobile communication network of telecommunications companies is absolutely leading the world in the field of communication technology.

Don’t think that the country cannot tolerate consortium-type enterprises. In the 1990s, South Korea was trying its best to develop consortium-type enterprises, hoping to use these leading enterprises to lead the country’s related industries to compete internationally. The result was that it achieved the desired effect. South Korea’s economic short-term A huge miracle was also achieved during this time, which is called the Miracle of the Han River.

At that time, domestic high-level officials also had this idea and provided relevant policy support to some promising companies. However, in the end, no one was able to be supported. Instead, some state-owned enterprises became stronger and stronger, becoming de facto trust companies. This contrasting result made the country realize that this road was not going to work, so later it simply let state-owned enterprises own many industries, so that they could not only fully control them, but also get things done.

A typical example is China Resources Group. This company was originally engaged in import and export trade in Hong Kong for the country. It mainly earned foreign exchange for the country. It did not have much own capital. Under such circumstances, it finally developed into a behemoth of a domestic enterprise. , and the industries he participates in are basically highly competitive civilian fields, such as supermarkets, food and other industries. It stands to reason that private capital in these industries is more dynamic, but it still allows China Resources Group to grow bigger.

In the past life, many people complained that state-owned enterprises grew big because of monopoly. Some companies in this field relied on administrative monopoly to grow big. However, many state-owned enterprises have actually fully participated in market competition. Why are all state-owned enterprises involved in large-scale construction? Is it possible? Does the country clearly stipulate that only state-owned enterprises can participate? No, right? It’s because private enterprises are not good at large-scale construction, and private capital investment often hopes for short-term profits. In the end, there are not many influential private enterprises.

Influential private companies were not keen on short-term profits at the beginning. They were quietly working in their own fields, such as Huawei, Fuyao Glass and so on.

Enough chatter, after Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia discussed the establishment of an umbrella holding company, they asked Lin Hexia to find a person in charge of ATV. From now on, the specific affairs of ATV will be handled by this selected person in charge. Lin Hexia He specializes in managing umbrella holding companies.

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Lin Hexia went to Yuheng Law Firm's partner law firm in Hong Kong and asked them to help with the relevant procedures for establishing an umbrella holding company. Zhao Yi rested at home for half a day, waiting for Lin Hexia to come back at noon. Later, Zhao Yi cooked lunch himself. After the meal, Zhao Yi took Lin Hexia to the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company for inspection.

In the future, the umbrella holding company managed by Lin Hexia will be the holding company of Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation. It must have a certain understanding of its companies. Lin Hexia was brought along during this inspection, and he discussed his plans with He Pinyun, and introduced Lin Hexia to He Pinyun. We know each other, after all, we will work together in the future.

I made a phone call with He Pinyun before coming here, so I knew that I was coming to inspect today. There were obvious water stains on the ground that had just been cleaned, and the banners were not hanging. Zhao Yi was not interested in this, and He Pinyun, as a Hong Konger, had no experience in this area. consciousness. Zhao Yi thought this was good. It not only showed the importance of his own observation, but also did not engage in any formalism.

After entering the company's office floor, there were also people coming and going. Zhao Yixian and He Pinyun went to his office, and then asked He Pinyun to report on the current operations of Hong Kong Telecommunications Company.

He Pinyun said: "Hong Kong Telecom currently operates 2.3 million fixed local telephone lines in Hong Kong, basically achieving full coverage of fixed lines in Hong Kong. The newly developed mobile communication business has also recently completed the construction of all base stations, realizing It provides full coverage of the entire Hong Kong area.”

Zhao Yi had learned about these before, and there was nothing new, so he said: "What is your estimated annual turnover of Hong Kong's mobile communications business, and what is your charging standard?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's question, He Pinyun immediately said: "The first batch of packages we launched is 60 Hong Kong dollars (about 30 yuan) per month, which comes with 120 minutes of call time, 100 text messages, and 5M network traffic. For any excess, the call will be 0.1 HKD per minute, 0.1 HKD per text message, and 1 HKD per megabyte of traffic.

In fact, our mobile network tariffs are not expensive. The number of users depends on the price of mobile phones sold by Hengtong Communications Company. If the price is too high, fewer users will access the network. "

In fact, there is no need for He Pinyun to say anything below. Zhao Yi also knows the actual situation. If all people in Hong Kong have mobile phones to access the Internet, the monthly package income will only be 150 million yuan. Even if the expenses beyond the package are included, it will definitely not exceed 2. Billion, the annual revenue is about 2.4 billion yuan. The fixed phone revenue is much lower than this, the annual revenue is only about 300 million yuan, and the maximum total revenue is only about 2.7 billion.

To be honest, market capacity limits revenue. Fortunately, because Hong Kong is not a big place and has a relatively concentrated population, the investment in telecommunications equipment is not very large. For example, the construction of a mobile communication network covering the entire Hong Kong only cost about 300 million in total. 500 base stations have been built, each costing 400,000 yuan, plus about 100 million yuan for the backend system.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi said: "Communication companies will launch several grades of mobile phones. The most basic model only has the functions of making calls and sending text messages. The market price is 1,000 yuan. The second-grade mobile phones can also make calls and send text messages. You can use data to browse the web, but you cannot install applications by yourself. The market price is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. The highest-end mobile phones not only have the above three functions, but you can also install application software by yourself. The market price is between 4,000 and 6,000 yuan.

You can use the contract phone method, that is, for mobile phones of various grades, you can cooperate with communication companies and use package binding and time binding methods to determine how much you need to recharge and whichever package you choose, you can get a discounted price. Or get a cell phone for free.

In this way, one can promote the sales of mobile phones of telecommunication companies, and the other is allow telecommunication companies to acquire more users and bind users for a longer period of time.

Hong Kong is a free market economy. Although you have local telephone franchise rights now, it does not mean that you will still be able to obtain this privilege in the future. You should know this, so your first task is to circle users first and establish the relationship in advance. The advantage lies in service quality in the later stage. "

When He Pinyun heard Zhao Yi's attention, he immediately patted his thigh and said quickly: "Mr. Zhao's suggestions made me suddenly enlightened. I was still worried about how to open the market as soon as possible. After all, mobile phones are not cheap. I can afford it." Not many people use mobile phones. With this method, I am confident that I can quickly capture the entire Hong Kong mobile communications market." (End of Chapter)
