678 [Communication Overlord]
It turned out that after Song Zhichao won the VCD war, he turned his attention to the fiercely competitive mobile phone communication in the future.
As far as he knows, before 1994, domestic mobile phones were simulated mobile communication systems, commonly known as "big brother". This kind of mobile phone is not convenient to carry, and it is not clear in communication, which is very vague.
Digital mobile phones are also common mobile phones in the future. The use of digital simulation technology has made a qualitative leap in the quality of mobile phone communications. Not only does the clarity of communications have been greatly improved, but the range that communications can reach has also been greatly improved.
In 1994, the number of international manufacturers entering the domestic mobile phone supply market increased. In addition to the two main brands of Motorola and Nokia, Ericsson, Philips, Siemens, Alcatel, Sony and other brands also entered the domestic mobile phone market one after another.
Among the many mobile phone brands, only Ericsson eventually became the overlord of digital mobile phone communications in the world, and maintained a rapid growth of more than 35% per year for 10 consecutive years. It was not until after 2000 that it lost its overlord position.
For Song Zhichao, since he knew the future communication trends, he certainly did not want to let Ericsson go, a super profitable company. Therefore, after establishing Wanxin International Investment Company, Song Zhichao used various methods and means to continuously purchase Ericsson's stocks, and then slowly controlled Ericsson's equity through investment.
In this era, as a Swedish communications company, Ericsson did not expect that it would develop into a super terrifying communications giant in the future, because it was not wary of Song Zhichao's "encroachment".
When Ericsson decided to develop digital communications, the company's management then discovered that the big boss of their company, to be precise, had already changed the major shareholder and was still a Chinese.
In order to obtain Ericsson and control Ericsson, this Chinese actually took out funds twice as much as the market price - a total of 6.8 billion US dollars, directly controlling 51% of Ericsson's equity.
When the Swedish government and various domestic companies in Sweden learned about this news, the first reaction was to be surprised, the second reaction was that Chinese people were suckers, and the third reaction was that their self-esteem was seriously damaged - after all, how can Swedish companies be controlled by Chinese people?
But the facts have been decided, and Song Zhichao became the boss behind the world-class communications company in silence. The first thing he had to do after becoming the boss was to announce that he would focus on the markets of the two largest countries in Asia and Eastern Europe - Russia and China.
After comparing the two, Song Zhichao decided to start with the easy ones first and then difficult ones, so he targeted Russia and prepared to establish a brand new digital base station in Russia's Siberia region, and then monopolize Russia's communications business through mobile phones.
I have to say that Song Zhichao's plan is perfect, especially without realizing it, he used the help of coming to Siberia to "protect" the oil fields, and by the way, he brought down Alach, the "domestic king", and brought his Russian father-in-law Yorke to power.
As long as Yorkf can successfully guard Siberia, the base station facilities here will be launched immediately. At that time, the new mobile phones that replace Big Brother will be launched in Russia, which will definitely monopolize the market and make a lot of money.
...
Song Zhichao's guess was right.
Just as he stayed in Russia's cold Siberia and slowly resolved the oil workers' strike, Lao Pu, who returned to Moscow, soon sent him news that the Russian government supported and firmly supported him in conducting digital communications experiments in Siberia, but there was an additional condition that the Russian government wanted to be one of the investors.
To put it bluntly, these Russians are not very relieved about Song Zhichao and the Ericsson company owned by Song Zhichao, who is from Sweden. They think they have to participate in anything themselves - after all, making money is important, and national security is also important.
In this way, Song Zhichao stayed in this cold Siberia for almost a month, until June when the digital base station was officially started to be built here.
General York, the new development minister of the Siberian Development Ministry, also officially took office. On the day of construction, he led a large group of senior officials from the Siberian region to come here to get iron shovels and add soil to the base station to perform a "ground laying" ceremony.
The emergence of this huge team of senior officials has completely raised Song Zhichao's identity to an unparalleled level.
"God, there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to support you!"
"Yes, that Chinese is so amazing!"
"I heard that man is a super tycoon, worth tens of billions!"
"So young, so young and promising!"
A large group of local Russian people were talking in great discussions, especially some beautiful Russian girls. When they looked at Song Zhichao, stars appeared in their eyes - they were bold and unrestrained and enthusiastic, and even threw out the flowers in their hands and flew to show their love to Song Zhichao.
...
After the groundbreaking ceremony, Old Yorkf called Song Zhichao aside alone, and the first sentence was: "Thank you!"
To be honest, this sentence is absolutely sincere.
You should know that since he stepped down from the army, Old Yorkf felt that his life would probably be over, and he would never turn over again. He would eat and drink like this every day, spending his memories of glory in the past, occasionally hugging his grandson and raising flowers and plants - but he never expected that one day he would be re-activated by the country and replace his old rival Alach and took up the high position of Minister of the Siberian Development Department.
All of this is like dreaming.
Whenever Yorke pinchs his face with his hands and understands that all this is true, the first person he thinks of is Song Zhichao - yes, this Chinese son-in-law is his greatest benefactor.
With gratitude, Old York said some truth to Song Zhichao, including the matter of Song Zhichao's bloodline, Alexander.
"Dear Song, I am old, and the glory and industry of the Yorke family will be handed over to Little Alexander - I know that you want to take him to Hong Kong or to China, but I hope you can give me a chance to accompany me here for a few more years."
"Yes, just treat it as if you are pitying this old man who is so bad that I cannot lose him or my lovely grandson." Yorke almost begged for mercy.
"What's more, the child is still young now and cannot leave his mother Eva - do you have the heart to separate them, mother and son?" Yorke said emotionally with red eyes and tears.
Old Yorkf has now seen Song Zhichao's amazing strength. He knows what Song Zhichao wants to do, and he can't stop him no matter what. Instead of doing this, it's better to plead directly.
Sure enough, Song Zhichao has the kind of character that is soft but not hard.
If Old Yorkf still insisted on the same thing and demanded that Song Zhichao keep his child in Russia, Song Zhichao would not surrender and would even take the child away by any means. But now when Yorkf cried like this, Song Zhichao immediately felt soft-hearted.
Yes, the child is too young to follow him and cannot take care of him. Leave it to his parents - yes, can you teach aristocrats in the countryside? Maybe you can create a village-level mixed race.
After thinking about it, I was still putting it here and leaving it to Eva with it. It is most suitable.
Song Zhichao did not hide it, so he expressed his thoughts, and Yorke burst into tears of gratitude.
Song Zhichao said that although he made such a decision, he still had to discuss it with Eva.
But Yorke slapped his thigh and said, "No need to discuss it!"
Song Zhichao: "Why?"
"Look behind you, my dear."
Song Zhichao turned around and saw Eva holding the child Alexander on the snowy grass. Looking at herself, her face was already full of tears.
