#160 - Chapter 160: The next step of planning, materials! Let’s go to Hong Kong!
"Director Ren!"
Zou Qiang, known for his fiery temper, instantly turned icy, his face hardening: "You dare call yourself a friend? More like a backstabber!"
You want us to submit to some little brat?
Would a friend say such things?
"I say this precisely because we are friends."
Director Ren wasn't angered: "400G transmission routers, 4G technology with greatly improved speeds, fiber optic technology far surpassing dial-up."
"Chen Dong's strength in communications is simply beyond your ability to contend with!"
"Let him use your base stations, and at least… you'll still get to drink some soup."
"Otherwise, you will go bankrupt!"
The three major operators were stunned.
Coming to their senses, they glared at Director Ren, their anger barely contained.
Spouting nonsense, are we?
Trying to scare people with flattery, are we?
Zou Qiang stood up, casting a cold glance at Director Ren: "Director Ren, don't forget, I can use your equipment, or I can use Cisco's."
"To put it bluntly, we chose you because Huawei is a domestic brand."
"But now…"
Tch!
Director Ren sneered inwardly.
You chose Huawei because of that?
It's because Huawei is much cheaper than Cisco!
"Since that's the case."
Director Ren didn't refute: "Our cooperation ends here."
From now on.
He wouldn't have time to provide a series of communication equipment to the three major operators anyway.
He would be supplying one person exclusively!
In the blink of an eye.
The top executives of the three major operators left, not a single one remaining.
"It's hard to dissuade those who are determined to die."
Looking at the empty conference room, Chen Hao, on the contrary, looked relaxed: "If you don't want to drink the soup, then don't."
The outcome was already determined when he obtained the communications license.
The three major operators could only drink soup at best.
However…
His true thought was that he wouldn't even let them drink the soup.
Various packages!
Various schemes!
Jointly raising call charges and broadband fees.
Not a single good one among them!
After all, they are central enterprises, and after all, they have been operating for so long. He intended to give them a way out, but since they didn't appreciate it… in the future, China only needs one operator!
"Director Ren."
Chen Hao lowered his voice: "The research and development of smartphones will still take some time. My base stations and fiber optic network need to cover the entire country!"
"Chairman Chen, the equipment is not a problem, but… what about the infrastructure?" Director Ren asked.
Huawei doesn't know how to build signal towers.
Furthermore.
Who will produce the fiber optics?
Who will build the nationwide fiber optic network?
"Leave it to me."
Chen Hao smiled: "Establishing two new companies is not difficult."
One is a fiber optic production factory.
The other is to manufacture and install signal towers.
Ma Dafa is in the engineering business.
Although he doesn't know how to build signal base stations, he should have acquaintances in that field. He can just ask him for an introduction.
In short.
The technology is all in his mind.
With technology, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Seeing Chen Hao's nonchalant expression, Director Ren's heart was stirred by a huge wave.
He is clearly just a teenager.
But…
It seems that anything, when it comes to him, is not a problem.
He handles everything with ease.
Effortlessly!
He could almost foresee the future of the three major operators…
Alright!
They have no future.
…
The negotiation broke down.
Chen Hao went straight back to the hotel to continue his previous work.
These past two days, he had been working on base station design and fiber optic-related technologies.
Regardless of whether the three major operators cooperated or not, these technologies were indispensable.
He worked while he waited.
Tomorrow.
He would go to Hong Kong!
Work started in the morning, and except for lunch, he was busy until evening.
Until he was interrupted by a phone call.
"Chairman Chen."
It was Ning Fan calling: "The shipyard procedures have been completed, and the merger process is nearing its end. It's just a matter of a week or so. There's a problem… I need to communicate with you in advance."
"Go ahead."
Chen Hao nodded.
"Didn't you say that the first step is to develop LNG carriers?"
"That's right!"
"I think we need to contact material suppliers."
"Materials?"
Chen Hao was taken aback: "Didn't the shipyard have material suppliers before?"
"Yes, but they mainly made Ro-Ro ships before. LNG carriers require high-specification materials, especially titanium alloys."
As one of the jewels of the shipbuilding industry, LNG carriers have higher material requirements.
It's not just LNG carriers.
Jinling's car factory also needs titanium alloys.
Not only that.
Chen Hao secretly took over the military shipbuilding part that was split off from the two major shipyards.
Stealth unmanned surface vessel clusters!
Low-detectable unmanned underwater vehicles!
These equipments all require titanium alloys.
Compared with ordinary steel, titanium alloys have many advantages.
Lightweight and high strength.
Corrosion resistance.
High temperature resistance.
In fact, Chen Hao also has a next step plan in the pharmaceutical field.
Pharmaceuticals are not just drugs.
There are also various top-notch medical equipments.
Titanium alloys are an indispensable core material in medical equipments.
"I understand."
Ning Fan's reminder was very important.
Chen Hao hung up the phone and immediately called Xia Qingyan: "Sister Xia, investigate which domestic manufacturers are involved in titanium metal production—first understand their quotations, there will be a large demand in the future."
After making the call, he fell into thought.
SP4 was sold to the Morgan Consortium.
He had money in hand.
LCD TVs also entered mass production.
It can be said that the commercial behemoth has truly embarked on the right track, and it is unlikely that it will be short of money in the future.
Then…
It's time to lay out some areas.
Through Ning Fan's call, he turned his attention to one area.
Materials!
Which is also his major.
The so-called material is not just titanium alloy, it refers to the entire material field.
Metallic materials.
Inorganic non-metallic materials.
Organic polymer materials.
Composite materials.
In the future, his commercial behemoth will have material needs in many aspects—national defense and military industry also need them.
He decided that, after returning from Hong Kong this time, he would officially lay out the material field!
…
The next morning.
General Wang sent someone to deliver the information.
Although Hong Kong has returned, it still requires various procedures to go there from the mainland.
Of course, Chen Hao doesn't have to handle it himself, nor does he need to wait long.
After receiving the information, he left the hotel immediately.
Heading straight to the Lo Wu Port.
Ding Xiang called midway, claiming that she had already arrived in Hong Kong.
She didn't go through the port, but through other means, after all… how could she get through carrying weapons?
"Chairman Chen, there's no need for her to go."
Xiang Yan curled his lips: "Her skills are average, I'm enough alone."
Chen Hao glanced at him: "What kind of Kung Fu did you learn?"
"Bajiquan."
"Can Bajiquan beat a gun?"
"What?!"
Xiang Yan was dumbfounded, and said with a silly smile: "Are you kidding me? Kung Fu is just a skill, how can it compare to a gun?"
"She has a gun."
Chen Hao chuckled.
"…"
Xiang Yan stopped talking.
In close combat, Ding Xiang is definitely not his opponent, but if she uses thermal weapons…
He is just a farmer!
How could he have the chance to touch a gun?
As for why Ding Xiang has a gun…
He didn't ask much.
Soon he arrived at the port.
Security check.
Crossing the border.
Smooth sailing.
When he stepped into Hong Kong, Chen Hao took a deep breath.
At this moment, he didn't think about Bao Enni, but many names flashed in his mind.
Hong Kong!
Only equivalent to one-sixth of the area of Jinling, but countless figures emerged.
When the assets of the richest man in the mainland just reached 10 billion.
The richest man in Hong Kong already has hundreds of billions!
When the mainland music scene did not go abroad, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was already star-studded.
This hotbed of capital has created too many miracles.
"Capital?"
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
