Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Of course, Li Weidong is just envious. Even if he can really be issued a license, whether he can do it and whether he can continue doing it is still a question.

Facts have proved that the possibility of success in developing basic communications industry in a vast land like China is very low if it is conducted in the form of private economy.

The construction and coverage of communication base stations and networks is an extremely large and complex project, and the things involved will definitely not be completed by any private enterprise.

Imagine how many departments are required to coordinate to build iron towers and lay network cables on a land of 9.6 million square kilometers, and how huge the cost will be.

Of course, many places are sparsely populated rural areas, where the number of users is small and the yield is low. There is no need for network coverage at all. It can only be built in big cities.

But people who use these networks don't care about this. They won't stay in one place forever, even if they go out occasionally and there is no signal on their mobile phones?

It's okay if none of them have it, but if a certain family has it but you don't, that's a fatal blow.

Several major domestic communication operators have gone beyond the rules and regulations of Huajiang operations and begun to operate nationwide, and they are working independently and duplicating construction.

In the same place, if your signal is good, my signal is better than yours. Otherwise, how to attract customers to use it? Comparison will be harmful.

Moreover, the construction of this kind of communication project is also responsible for various administrative orders. Every village and every household are connected. As long as there are people, there must be signals. If you can't do it, not only will your competitors be killed, but the higher-ups will not tolerate your kind.

Alternative.

Although it will cause a lot of investment costs, without this coverage, there is no way to compete with other communication operators.

If you want to achieve this effect, you have to rely on state operators. Private enterprises do not have such a big ambition. If they suffer losses in vast rural areas, normal enterprises will have stopped doing it long ago.

What is possible abroad may not be possible in China, and the domestic situation is different from that abroad. Foreign countries can rent each other's infrastructure equipment.

Therefore, the telecom operators displayed on mobile phones in many countries change frequently. In this place, it is this one, but in another place, it may be the name of another company.

In fact, in later generations, tower companies were also established in China, and communication operators used these tower base stations on a lease basis, which seemed to provide a basis for liberalizing operators.

But for private enterprises, there is basically no way to survive. In his previous life, Li Weidong remembered that the Industry and Information Technology Department had launched several pilot projects for private enterprises.

Look at these pilot companies, which one is not a big company, and BAT almost all participated, so their strength must be quite amazing.

But in the end, everyone who has experienced it knows that Li Weidong's approach at the time was to refuse to answer the call whenever he saw a 170 number. It was a complete concentration camp for fraudulent phone numbers.

Finally, a real-name system was implemented, which almost eliminated the only way for these virtual operators to survive. Even if they were alive, they could only survive!

Of course, if there is a conspiracy theory in this, you can't speculate. Anyway, the 170 segment is not fully used. Think about how many users it can have?

And there is an even more disturbing fact. This kind of communication data, which contains various confidential information, must not be controlled by some private companies.

Apart from anything else, just considering this reason, Li Weidong can only feel sour in his mouth. If he is asked to do this kind of basic communication in China, he can only think about it while dreaming.

Even abroad, Li Weidong is not very interested in this kind of thing. The main reason is that this industry is relatively sensitive, so he won't do it even if he is asked.

For example, on Hong Kong Island, there is a huge commercial cooperation currently underway.

The initiator of the cooperation was the second son of his next-door neighbor, who acquired Hong Kong Island Telecom, the largest communications operator in Hong Kong, and signed a framework agreement.

This is an acquisition plan of more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. When Li Weidong, the world's richest man, saw it, he felt heartbroken not because of the money, but because he felt that there was something wrong with his brain. This was simply robbing people.

Although the bulk of the more than 300 billion is not cash, it is the stock of a company owned by the second son with annual revenue of only HK$150 million.

Because with the help of the Internet bubble and some other deliberate hype, the market value of this kind of garbage company has been artificially increased to 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although the big part is the company's stock exchange, the small part requires cash payment, and the amount of cash paid exceeds HK$85 billion.

Li Weidong doesn’t know when the HK$85 billion will be able to recover its original capital, or it may never even be possible.

Because Li Weidong knows that when the Internet bubble bursts, these companies without swimming trunks will basically fall by 80% to 90%, or even go bankrupt!

In other words, this seemingly 300 billion giant company will have an estimated market value of only 30 billion by the end of this year!

The most critical thing is that the second son wants to play a game of empty-handedness, and all acquisition funds come from bank loans.

Recently, under the leadership of his father, the former richest man in Asia, this second son has been communicating with directors of some major banks every day.

The originally promised bank loan must be cashed in, otherwise the framework of this acquisition plan will be shaky.

In fact, when raising loans, Li Shihui of Minsheng Bank was visited by Mr. Li, who wanted Minsheng Bank to provide part of the loan.

It is a matter of great justice that Hong Kong Island's communications industry should not fall into the hands of interested people. It is more reassuring to have it in the hands of our own people.

I guess Mr. Li needed some advice from an expert. All the banks he looked for were Chinese banks, and the only one that wasn't was HSBC.

And he owns a lot of shares in HSBC and is also a director of HSBC.

Li Weidong had a sense of conspiracy at that time. The second young master Li wanted to play a white wolf with nothing, and the white wolf was not the communication company but these Chinese-funded banks.

All risks will be borne by these banks, and according to the bank's rules, securities can be pledged, and there seems to be no problem with these inflated stocks.

If we think further, the stock price of the shell company may be raised just for this layout.

Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, Li Weidong would not agree to Minsheng Bank providing a loan to a company that was blown up by the Internet bubble.

And the facts have proved that the ability of Mr. Li is not as good as he boasted.

A few years ago, he sold the equity of Star TV to a media tycoon and made hundreds of millions of dollars. At that time, Li Weidong felt that there was something fishy in it and even discussed this issue with Liu Jinhui. Now it seems that there is something fishy in this matter.

few.

Moreover, in his previous life, Li Weidong knew there were three reasons for this person, but none of them could prove that this person had excellent abilities.

Having a good father, this is the first rule, and it is perfect beyond almost all human beings.

I have a celebrity girlfriend who gave birth to twins and eventually broke up. This is the second article. I don’t know if it is considered entertainment gossip.

The third one was that by investing in Tencent and then selling Tencent’s shares, he missed an opportunity to surpass his father and become the richest man in Asia.

It’s hard to say whether Mr. Li will still be able to get to know his girlfriend in this life, but he doesn’t have to bear the shame of selling Tencent shares.

So far, except for the shares owned by the founder, all other shares of Tencent are in the hands of Li Weidong.

With Li Weidong's blessing like a prophet, Tencent's development is much better than in the previous life. At least there is no need to worry about funding and direction issues.

I guess even Mr. Ma finds it strange that he has become the chosen one and the big boss will support him so wholeheartedly.

In Li Weidong's view, some industries can be invested in, and industries that are thankless can also be tried, while industries that challenge taboos should not be touched.

The same is true for people. Those who will leave a bad name in the future must not make friends with them. Not only cannot they make friends, but they must also keep their distance to avoid being touched!

"Just wait, the superiors will not sit idly by and these messy charges will be canceled sooner or later!" Li Weidong said lightly.

In the future, several giants will slowly exert their efforts, and matters related to the vital interests of the common people will also attract more and more attention from the top.

Various charges will become more and more legal and transparent. After all, the world is moving forward and will definitely get better and better.

"Are there many reporters at the door in the past two days?" Li Weidong stretched his head and looked at the door, as if he wanted to answer his question visually.

"It's less than the previous few days, but the ones who stay are all die-hards. No matter how hard you try to persuade them, they can't be persuaded to leave!" Ding Yuan said with a sigh.

Now these reporters are just staying on the side of the road. The road is a public road, so they have no reason to chase people away.

Just relying on verbal persuasion and some small favors will not be very effective for those who are bent on making big news and seeking fame.

"Then be careful and install more cameras around the house for continuous monitoring!" Li Weidong also frowned and said angrily.

Ding Yuan responded: "Yes, I'll have someone bring it over and install it right away!"

"There are two children who often go to the backyard, so there are no poisonous things like snakes and insects!"

"Don't worry, we will check it carefully!" Ding Yuan gave a somewhat serious answer this time. It concerns the safety of the boss and his family, so he must be cautious.

Li Weidong was interviewed in the morning, and the interviews were simultaneously published on the websites of these media outlets that evening, along with Li Weidong's photos.

This matter has finally come to a final conclusion, encouraging private business owners to make a fortune, the richer the better!

Moreover, the fact that Li Weidong became the world's richest man seems to have unveiled the veil of the richest man for the Chinese people, making them think that the world's richest man is nothing more than that.

At this time, in Shencheng, across the river from Li Weidong, there was a small-scale factory.

Sitting in an office labeled "Technical Department" was a man of about thirty years old.

At this time, he was holding a cup of tea, sitting in front of the only computer in the office, casually browsing some messages on the computer.

Just when he was about to shut down the computer and prepare to get off work, he refreshed the Sina web page he was browsing out of habit.

The headline reads: The world's richest man is worth more than $150 billion!!!

The man frowned, paused for a moment in turning off the computer, and then opened the link.

A photo of Li Weidong sitting on a chair slowly refreshed, and then scrolled down. It showed the entire interview process of Li Weidong.

When the man browsing the news saw Li Weidong's photo, the expression on his face was very strange, including disbelief, surprise, regret, and most of all, embarrassment.

If Li Weidong were here, he would definitely recognize this person as Li Jianzhong, who was assigned to the Handong Machinery Factory with him.

After arriving at the Handong Machinery Factory, not only did he take away Li Weidong's position in the technical department, but he later also stumbled over Li Weidong's request for leave.

Li Weidong had to choose to go to the sea. Even after going to the sea, Li Weidong was disgusted by the evil tricks.

Finally, because he learned that Li Weidong was going to acquire a machinery factory, he went through the resignation procedures overnight, and then headed south to this city full of opportunities.

At this time, universities had not yet expanded their enrollment significantly, and junior college graduates in the 1990s were also among the most favored. Although they were not as popular as undergraduates, it was relatively easy to find a decent job.

After Li Jianzhong arrived in Shencheng, he quickly found a more suitable job. After five or six years of development, he became a small leader in the technical department.

I also earn a lot of money. I got married and settled down in Shenzhen some time ago. My child is now three months old and I am living a pretty good life.

It's just that he always feels a little unhappy in his heart, and a thorn will often come out to prick him twice, and this thorn is Li Weidong.

Especially when he learned that Li Weidong became the second richest person in China, he felt bad in his heart.

This feeling may have more regrets. If he had known this earlier, he would definitely have a good relationship with Li Weidong.

Even if he doesn't go out with Li Weidong when he resigns, Li Weidong may have to take care of him when he becomes prosperous. Even if he stays at Handong Machinery Factory, he should still develop well!

It's just that he offended Li Weidong too harshly at the beginning. Even if he later found out that Li Weidong was prosperous and even wanted to acquire Handong Machinery Factory, Li Jianzhong had no intention of coming to apologize.

Now that he has become the richest man in the world, so many arrogant media have come to Hong Kong Island to interview him, which shows his status.

If there really is a regret medicine in this world, Li Jianzhong probably really wants to buy a bottle and drink it at this time.

There was once an opportunity for him to achieve financial freedom, but he gave up.

But those workers such as Song Guofeng, He Yusheng, Zheng Yang, and Zhao Dongsheng who were not as good as him had already made a name for themselves by following Li Weidong.

Li Jianzhong looked at Li Weidong's picture, with an expression that was as plain as water and had everything in my hand. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.

Soon a clear handprint appeared on his face, which showed how powerful this move was.

If he could choose his life again, he would probably hug Li Weidong tightly, but he might not have the chance in this life.

To expect others to retaliate with kindness is to be a hooligan.

At this moment, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message that had just become popular from his wife, asking him to buy two bananas, three apples and vegetables.

Li Jianzhong realized that he had been in a daze for too long, looked at Li Weidong's photo again, sighed and closed the computer.

His wife asked him to only send text messages to buy things, and he was reluctant to make phone calls. After all, a text message only costs 10 cents, and a phone call costs 60 cents, and there are still charges in both directions.

The money for a phone call is enough to buy fruit. Southerners like to be budget-conscious, but Li Jianzhong thought of Li Weidong again, not only that he would definitely not live such a life on a budget!

Li Jianzhong sighed again, watched the computer screen turn dark, put the keyboard and mouse back to their original positions, then stood up and left.
