The richest man

Chapter 214 Telecom Giants
There is no rush to develop new types of cars.

Zhang Jun thought for a while, and first absorbed and integrated the technologies of the several car companies he bought so far, revitalized these sports car companies, and then went to develop new types of cars.

Of course, it is also possible to quickly acquire relevant technologies and markets through acquisitions.

These things will be considered later.

……

……

On the night of June 6th, Zhang Jun was extremely nervous, wandering back and forth outside the operating room of the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, his palms were sweaty.

Produced by Zhu Mingyue.

The operation lasted over an hour.

Zhang Jun's face was full of worry, for fear of any accident.

Zhang Jun's parents, younger siblings and parents-in-law all came to the hospital.

"Oh, why haven't you been born yet?" Zhang Jun stood on tiptoe trying to look inside through the glass wall, but the glass was frosted and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Just when Zhang Jun couldn't wait and wanted to ask the doctor about the situation, the door of the operating room suddenly opened, and a female doctor in a white coat said to the family members with a tired smile, "Congratulations, mother and child are safe and sound." , gave birth to a fat boy who weighs 8 pounds and 8 taels!"

call! ! !
Hearing this, Zhang Jun's tense mood immediately relaxed, and immediately his heart overflowed with infinite joy.

Zhang Jun and his party came to the delivery room under the leadership of the doctor.

"Mingyue, thank you for your hard work!!" Zhang Jun felt distressed when he saw his wife's pale and haggard face. He couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, and said in a gentle tone.

Zhu Mingyue smiled slightly: "It's not hard~"

As he spoke, he looked tenderly at the baby carriage beside him, his eyes full of maternal brilliance.

In the stroller, the little guy was wrinkled and wrinkled. Although his eyes were closed, he was very lively, crying and crying, and his limbs kept moving.

Zhang Jun stretched out his index finger and put it on the little guy's palm, and he held it tightly in an instant.

Zhang Jun felt the feeling of being tightly held by his son's little hand, and he couldn't help but feel the wonderful feeling of being connected by blood, which is very magical...

……

Zhang Jun's son was named Zhang Yi.

Yi, Sheng Guang also means brilliance and brightness.

Probably Zhang Jun hopes that his descendants can shine in the family.

Zhang Jun looked at his son, and sometimes couldn't help feeling a little envious.

This little guy can be said to be a super rich second generation. He was so rich when he was born. He doesn't know how much property he will inherit in the future. It may be a very terrifying astronomical figure.

The appearance of Zhang Yi made Zhang Jun's whole life full of vitality. In addition to being busy with work, he also worked part-time as a baby daddy, often taking care of Xiao Zhang Yi's life, such as breastfeeding, changing diapers, putting the child to sleep, etc. Although A little hard work, but fun.

……

"Boss, you are so energetic when you have a happy event. Since you have a son, you have become more and more energetic!" Shangguan Muye joked.

"Haha, that's for sure!" Zhang Jun smiled, and he felt very happy when he thought of his son.

The two chatted for a while, and soon got down to business.

"At present, the competition in the mobile phone market has begun to intensify, and many competitors have emerged one after another. Among them, Nokia, Ericsson, and Siemens occupy a relatively large market share, which deserves attention!" Shangguan Muye said seriously.

After Zhang Jun listened, he couldn't help nodding. In the 90s in his previous life, both Nokia and Ericsson were giants in the mobile phone field, especially Nokia, which beat Motorola to become the world's best-selling mobile phone manufacturer.

Shangguan Muye went on to say: "At present, Europe is vigorously developing the digital mobile communication system GSM, which is a digital mobile communication standard formulated by the European Telecommunications Standards Organization ETSI. It has been developed since 1982. The air interface adopts time division multiple access technology. ..."

Shangguan Muye introduced in detail.

Zhang Jun had a sullen face, listening and thinking at the same time.

Legendary Technology has invested heavily in cdma technology. If it is purely about which technology is stronger, gsm or cdma, Legendary Technology may be slightly better.

However, GSM is a digital mobile communication standard formulated by ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Organization. It may be very difficult for Legendary Technology to make those European telecommunications companies switch to cdma technology.

"Boss, I think that instead of spending time and energy convincing those European telecommunications companies to adopt the cdma system, it is better to directly find a way to acquire several European telecommunications companies and then quickly promote the cdma system. The main advantage of cdma is that its system capacity is very large .Theoretically, under the condition of using the same frequency resources, the capacity of CDMA mobile network is 20 times larger than that of analog network, and in actual use, it is 10 times larger than that of analog network, and 4-5 times larger than GSM!"

After a pause, Shangguan Muye suggested, "When promoting the cdma system, we should also promote our company's new generation of digital mobile phones, including email and mobile browser functions."

The WWW and the browser have been developed within Legend Technology, but they are not yet mature enough to be released yet.

If Legend Technology's first-generation digital mobile phone wants to stand out from many mobile phone manufacturers, it must have a bright spot, and this bright spot is email and mobile browser.

E-mail is already very popular in Europe and America.

Far too many people prefer to email rather than call directly.

In the 90s, text messages in China were very popular, but this is not the case in the United States. The cost of text messages is very high, and the sender and the receiver pay half of the cost. Some people have to pay for receiving text messages, so they may turn off text messages.

And if you just send emails, the cdma of Legend Technology may not reflect the technical advantages, so it is best to develop a mobile browser.Although in the 2g era, the broadband speed of cdma is relatively slow, but it is much better than GSM, and it is barely possible to read some news on the browser.

Of course, the legendary technology company will definitely have a layout on the Internet, replacing "Netscape Browser" and "Yahoo".

"I agree. The telecommunications company we acquire does not have to be number one, but at least it must be ranked among the top five in the local country. If the market share is too small, the influence will be relatively weak!" Zhang Jun thought for a while said afterwards.

The market capitalization of telecom companies is high, and their importance is self-evident.

However, telecommunications companies have great potential for development, and the market growth rate exceeds everyone's imagination. If you buy them now, even if you don't do anything, the company's market value will increase significantly in a few years.In his previous life, after Li Jiacheng bought an orange telecommunications company, he obtained a direct profit of more than 1100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which did not include the stock profits brought about by the listing of orange.Of course, he invested 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in Orange, so this company developed rapidly in the UK and soon became the third largest communication company.

When Zhang Jun bought a European telecommunications company, he would definitely not leave it alone, but expand as much as possible to become the largest local telecommunications company.

"Okay, boss, I'll make arrangements later!" Shangguan Muye nodded.

"Since you want to buy, don't just focus on Europe, we simply buy telecom companies in countries all over the world!"

In the 90s, mobile communications began to develop explosively.

The current market capitalization of many telecommunications companies is not high, but they all have great potential for development, and it is not a loss to buy them.

In the 21st century, many bigwigs can become the richest people in their local countries simply by owning telecommunications companies.

"Boss, in this way, our financial pressure will be very heavy!!!" Shangguan Muye smiled wryly. Although Legendary Technology Company is very profitable, the expenses are not small. The main reason is that the market value of the telecommunications company is really not cheap. Buying, buying and buying all over the world, it is difficult for Legendary Technology to support it.After buying a telecommunications company, you can't leave it alone. You have to invest more. Even if you get a loan from Standard Chartered Bank, you will still be very tight in terms of funds.

Zhang Jun, on the other hand, had a relaxed and indifferent face, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, let someone buy it. There is no problem with funding. I am going to let Chinaland withdraw from the Japanese real estate market."

It is now the second half of 1988. In 1990, the Japanese economic crisis broke out and the real estate bubble burst. There was not much time left for Chinese land to run away.

The scale of Chinese Land in Japan is too large, and it is not possible to clear the real estate in a month or two.Even if you can do it, you can't do it.Crazy selling of buildings in a short period of time will only cause panic and market chaos.Maybe it will lead to the bursting of Japan's real estate bubble in advance.

Therefore, Chinese Land can only slowly sell its real estate business.

And the plan to acquire a telecom company this time is also just an excuse.

Zhang Jun estimated that, except for a few very good "Legend Plaza" and some shopping malls, all other real estates were sold. In this way, Chinese Land Company can make a profit of more than 1200 billion US dollars at least.

No way, during the asset bubble in the 20s, real estate prices across Japan rose six to seven times, and the Jingdong area was extremely exaggerated. The house price in Tokyo was once as high as 80 US dollars per square meter, five times the value of real estate in the United States at that time , 8 times the total market capitalization of global stock markets.

Chinese Land Company entered the market relatively early, with an average profit of nearly 6 times.

So far, Chinese Land has only invested more than 240 billion US dollars, most of which are borrowed money from banks for investment.

In addition, in foreign exchange, Zhang Jun can also earn nearly double the income, with a profit of more than 100 billion US dollars.

With so much money, it is completely possible to build a telecom giant all over the world!

Shangguan Muye certainly knew the scale of China Land's investment in Japan, and he couldn't help being shocked when he thought of the profits he could get after selling these properties.

"Understood, boss, we are not short of money!"

"Ah."

After Shangguan Muye left, Zhang Jun sat alone in the office and meditated.

He was thinking about where else he could get his wool.

In 1991, the big brother in the north was finished. If you make a profit in advance, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Talents, technology, equipment, mineral resources, etc., so many good things, can eat Zhang Jun into a fortune at once. big fat man.

In 1992 there was a sterling crisis.

If you don't make money, you don't make money. With Soros as the leader, Zhang Jun will make a lot of money by fishing in troubled waters.And after this crisis, maybe the UK will welcome Zhang Jun to invest and restore the country's economy.

……

……

Towards the end of the year, a big event happened in Europe.

Legendary Technologies launches acquisition of Vodafone Telecom in the UK.

The predecessor of Vodafone was a department of the British Rakauer Electronics Company specializing in mobile phones. It was only established as Vodafone Telecom in 1985.

By 1987, Vodafone was considered the largest mobile communications company in the world.

At present, the fixed line market is the largest. After all, the price of mobile phones is too expensive. Although Vodafone is the largest mobile communication company, its market value is not high.

Legendary Technologies only offered a purchase price of £5 million.

A difficult negotiation began.

The management and bosses of Vodafone recognize the potential of the mobile communication market, so it is very difficult for Legendary Technology to win this company.

But as long as the price is high, there is no reason not to sell.

Vodafone's founders built the company to make money.

When Legendary Technology raised the acquisition price to 7.5 million pounds, the other party was tempted, and finally negotiated several times.In February 1989, Legend Technology finally acquired Vodafone Telecom for 2 million pounds!
Zhang Jun has been paying attention to this acquisition in Hong Kong. Vodafone is a famous company. He was a well-known telecommunications giant in his previous life and one of the largest mobile communication network companies in the world.

After completing this acquisition, Zhang Jun Zhang Jun felt that his acquisition was worthwhile. Vodafone not only has many customers in the UK, but also actively deploys in other European countries.

What Legend Technology needs to do is to make additional investments in Vodafone to speed up its layout, and if necessary, it can also acquire other telecom companies.

Zhang Jun immediately asked the finance department to give Vodafone an additional 20 billion US dollars. The deployment speed must be fast, and strive to establish Vodafone branches in every European country. In this way, in the early 90s, the cdma system can be popularized in Europe on a large scale .

Of course, Legend Technology has not spared the US communications market, and is actively negotiating with the US AirTouch Communications Company.

British Vodafone Vodafone and American AirTouch Communications are both leaders and cutting-edge developers in their respective markets.

If Legend Technology Corporation wanted to buy them, it would directly buy these two companies, establishing Legend Technology's dominance in the European and American mobile communication markets in one fell swoop.

Under the money strategy of Legendary Technology, AirTouch Communications of the United States did not last long, and finally sold the company for 12 billion US dollars.

Zhang Jun immediately opposed the merger of these two telecommunications companies with Hong Kong Telecom, Legendary Telecom.

The popularity and influence of the "Legend" brand is far beyond that of Vodafone and AirTouch. As long as the telecommunications company prints the "Legend" logo, it will immediately increase the trust of users. I feel that this is a company under the Legend Group and must be trustworthy!This is of great benefit to opening up the telecommunications market in Europe, America, and even the world!
At this moment, the media and the industry couldn't help being shocked. They were amazed that the legendary technology company spent so much money on investing in the construction of a mobile communication company. Could it be that the spring of mobile communication has come? !
