People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 432 The Governor’s “Ambition”

Mailihao called his wife, and the process naturally went very smoothly.

After putting down the mobile phone, Mailihao couldn't calm down for a long time.

Unexpectedly, a product with such high technological content was actually developed by a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa?

As the leader of Xiangjiang, he naturally knew how useful this thing would be to them if it could be commercialized!
Mailihao is the governor of Hong Kong and the top leader of the government. He often needs to travel to various places in Hong Kong on business.

At this time, if anyone wanted to contact him, they couldn't.

Especially if there are some important things that he needs to know immediately, it is easy to miss the critical time.

And if there is a mobile phone, then he no longer has this trouble.

"Can this mobile phone answer calls in every place in Xiangjiang?" Mailihao asked after handing the mobile phone to Wei Li.

At this time, he can't wait to have a mobile phone of his own, which will bring great convenience to his work.

"Not yet. Currently in Xiangjiang, we only have a few places where we can use mobile phones to make and receive calls." Wei Li said.

"Is that so? That's really a pity." After hearing this, Mailihao shook his head and said.

Sure enough, how could such a high-tech product be so easy to commercialize?The beautiful country has not been able to achieve it for so many years, and it is even harder for enterprises in a small place like Xiangjiang to achieve it!
"Mr. Governor, you don't have to feel sorry. We are now fully capable of commercial use. Our mobile phones transmit signals through signal towers. As long as enough signal towers are built, we can truly realize the commercial use of mobile phones in Hong Kong. ." Langdon Moore, as the company's general manager, explained to Mailihao.

"Really? That's great. If it is commercially successful, Hutchison Telecom will bring glory to Hong Kong. On behalf of the Hong Kong government, I would like to thank you!" After hearing Langdon's words, Mailihao felt excited again. came back.

"Of course, but we are currently facing two problems. One is that our initial investment is very huge, and whether we can recover the capital is still a question. If we fully build the signal tower in Xiangjiang, we will need even more huge funds; the second is that we need to obtain the support from the Xiangjiang government Without our full support, we will not be able to truly commercialize mobile phones in Xiangjiang," said Wei Li.

Hutchison Telecom doesn't need to invest too much money, and even the cost of the subsequent signal towers doesn't need to be too high, but naturally it's impossible to tell the outside world, otherwise how can it be sold at a high price?
Xiangjiang itself is not big. At present, the most important thing is to lay out the city center first, so the layout of outlets does not require many signal towers. After these things are mass-produced, the cost and price will gradually decrease.

What's more, according to the boss's wishes, these information were bought at a sky-high price, and Weili felt that he was not lying.

"I think you are not short of funds. After all, the whole world knows how rich Mr. Su is. Moreover, now that you have developed it, you must continue to develop it, otherwise you will not invest huge sums of money." Come and study this high-tech product? In addition, as long as you can make Hong Kong become the first city to officially commercialize mobile phones, on behalf of the Governor's Office and the Hong Kong government, I can promise to fully support Hutchison Telecom's mobile communications in Hong Kong unconditionally. Layout, these, we can even sign contracts with you in the name of the government, you can rest assured!" MacLehose is full of sincerity. In order to make Xiangjiang a mobile phone city, he worked hard.

Mobile phones, this thing is simply a very high-tech product in this era, and it is even more difficult than a computer.

After all, computers have long been popularized for civilian use, but mobile phones are not even commercially available, let alone civilian use. So many laboratories around the world are developing them, but they have yet to be commercialized.

But now, the little-known Hutchison Telecommunications Company has developed it so quietly and made it officially commercially available.

At this time, Mailihao looked at Su Cheng. He could no longer understand the extremely young young man in front of him.

Originally, because of Su Cheng's abilities, Mailihao had always had a kind attitude towards Su Cheng.

A few days ago, Su Cheng was awarded the KBE Knight Medal by Her Majesty the Queen herself. In this way, Mailihao's attitude towards Su Cheng became even better.The people recognized by Her Majesty the Queen are naturally her own people.

First, it developed the world's leading Oracle computer, and now it has developed equally advanced cellular telecommunications systems and mobile phones.

If this development continues, won't Xiangjiang be able to become a world-famous city of science and technology?

Suddenly, Mailihao felt even more excited.

These are all his political achievements and are closely related to his career.

Originally, Xiangjiang was a world-famous shipping center city. In recent years, under the governance of MacLehose, Xiangjiang has gradually become a famous international trade center, manufacturing center and international financial center.

Now, the emergence of Sioux City has given Xiangjiang the opportunity to go further. It is not impossible for Xiangjiang to become an international science and technology center, a world oil refining center and other city honors, and there is even a high probability that it will happen.

And if these are achieved during his term of office, wouldn't these political achievements belong to him, MacLehose?

The more powerful Xiangjiang is, the stronger his ability is.

At that time, he will be able to leave Hong Kong with success and return to the UK. Maybe he will enter the cabinet, become a senior government minister, and have the opportunity to run for prime minister.

Under normal circumstances, after he retires from the position of Governor of Hong Kong, the most likely place to go is the House of Lords, a nursing home for retired politicians.

Today, MacLehose is only in his early 60s. This age is the best for advancement in politics, and he is not willing to retire.

Everyone has his own "ambition".

After all, Mailihao was involved in politics, so he naturally hoped to hold the highest position in the country during his lifetime.

Mailihao still has three years left in his term as Governor of Xiangjiang, and with the current development speed of Sioux City, these may not be impossible to achieve during his term.

"It would be great to get Mr. Governor's promise. Thank you very much. I will go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss it in detail with the relevant officials another day." Weili said with a smile.

He himself also knew that Mailihao would definitely support it, so he didn't make a fuss.

Today, Hutchison Telecommunications has mastered these key technologies, and there is no need to fear whether the government will support it.

No one with a high vision would refuse such a benefit.

Because everyone knows that fixed phones have too many limitations, and the future development trend must be towards mobile phones. Sooner or later, mobile communications will be popularized all over the world.
