The leader had already said this, and the men next to him naturally did not dare to say anything more. The one who spoke was Mr. Zhou, the chairman of the local post and telecommunications group, and next to him were the business leaders of China Unicom and China Telecom.

The attitudes of several people around Huang Youwei are also quite ambiguous. For state-owned enterprises, this is indeed a not very cost-effective deal. Just because a company wants to sell mobile phones, they have to pay to build signal towers?

Huang Youwei looked at the man sitting in the first place and said: "Secretary Li, I think from the perspective of the province, this investment is insignificant. Smooth communication will bring great business prosperity, and people's communication costs will be lower. Behind the economy, there is not only access to roads, electricity, and water, but also phone calls. Faster communication will bring about a huge consumer market."

"It's not just about buying a mobile phone. To give you a simple example, one day I suddenly wanted to treat Mr. Zhou to a meal. I didn't tell him in advance. I just gave him a call and the meal was spent. , another example is business negotiations, where communication can be maintained anytime and anywhere, making it easier to promote cooperation.”

"Oh, Secretary Huang!" the chairman of the post and telecommunications team opposite said, "Aren't you being sophistical? There are no mobile phones, but now there are pagers, and phone booths are also being vigorously developed. We have our tasks, and we can't say that Zhang San is here. , pave the way for Zhang San, Li Si is here, build a bridge for Li Si, right?"

A man in his fifties next to Huang Youwei asked: "Secretary Huang, I remember that Mr. Lu of Jiafeng Group has a close relationship with you, right? In Suzhou back then, everyone knew that you were his backer."

"No, no, no!" Huang Youwei waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Secretary Zhida can't say this nonsense. When I was in Suzhou, I supported local famous enterprises, and my relationship with Mr. Lu was only work-related. What about me? , looking at this matter completely from a development perspective.”

The scene looked quite anxious. Huang Youwei was under siege, but Secretary Li, who made the final decision, said nothing. The Posts and Telecommunications Group had their own considerations. Now they had their own internal bases. China Unicom was separated, but its footing was unstable. Posts and Telecommunications The group has been losing money for consecutive years. They know that it will be a matter of time before Telecom is separated. Now they only focus on their postal and savings businesses. As for Telecom, which is about to leave, they are not willing to spend too much energy.

Huang Youwei's meteoric rise has also been criticized in the province. This person seems to have no other interests except economics. This kind of meeting is not a good place for him.

"Communication is very important. The transmission of information means communication. Although the country has not included this aspect in the overall strategic plan, there are development requirements for landlines and phone booths. We cannot be like bugs. Same, poke it and move it." Secretary Li looked around the scene and said: "We still need to have the motivation to actively explore. This matter is not decided today. Everyone should think about it for themselves when they go back and make practical decisions for their own development. , instead of doing some nonsense."

The meeting ended like this. Mr. Zhou chatted with Huang Youwei for a few words. The general meaning was not to cause trouble for them. Now building landline phone lines is their most important task. Mobile phones are not suitable for the current domestic situation.

Mr. Zhou left, but the chairman of China Unicom came over to exchange greetings. He said implicitly that they were willing to do this as long as the investment was not that high. However, China Unicom had only been separated for a few years and was too weak.

The boss in charge of the telecommunications business also came over to chat for a few words. The three companies now have different intentions and are afraid of being married to others. They used to be one family. Not to mention that China Unicom has become independent. China Telecom will soon face a separation. Live your own life.

Lu Feng took a brief rest in the hotel. No one paid attention to him, and he felt quite annoyed. As soon as these people heard that he couldn't take advantage, they immediately hid further away than anyone else.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Feng called Huang Youwei's office. After the call was connected, Lu Feng briefly explained his current situation.

"Today I have a meeting in the province. Deputy Mayor Wang is not responsible for this. He is just picking you up for me temporarily. How about this? You go to the agency cafeteria in the evening and we have a meal and chat." Huang Youwei said into the phone.

"good!"

Lu Feng intuitively told him that this matter might not be easy to handle. It would be difficult to negotiate over there in Guangzhou, but it would also be difficult here.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng went downstairs and went straight to the municipal office.

Lu Feng entered Huang Youwei's office under the leadership of the office director. Lu Feng looked at Huang Youwei in front of him. He was obviously much older. His hair was also parted. His hair was obviously whiter. Compared with the previous high-spirited, he was now a bit more energetic. Mingqi, it can be seen that he is very hardworking.

"Mr. Huang, long time no see." Lu Feng stepped forward and sighed.

Huang Youwei glanced at Lu Feng and said more formally: "Mr. Lu, please sit down. Xiao Zhao, please give me a cup of tea."

"There's no need to be too polite." Lu Feng sat on the sofa and said, "How's it going? This project is a real investment. It's definitely not here to get land or money."

"I held a meeting in the province and talked about this matter. The province did not express its position, but the post and telecommunications group was very resistant. I guess it will be difficult for you to handle this matter." Huang Youwei took it from the drawer. He took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and handed the rest to Lu Feng, and continued: "Post and telecommunications are not under the direct jurisdiction of the province. The main task now is the telephone line. Mobile phones are not easy to deal with."

"But now that this has happened, it will obviously drive the economy. Information is the first element of development. The reason I came here this time is to cooperate with the province. I don't mean to ask them to spend all the money. We We can also contribute part of the construction money." Lu Feng said towards Huang Youwei: "I think this is a win-win situation."

"You can't just think about yourself, you also have to consider the development of state-owned enterprises and the local situation. I was told at the meeting today that my relationship with you is unusual and that this matter is an outflow of state-owned assets." Huang Youwei smoked a cigarette. Somewhat worried.

Huang Youwei is very clear about the advantages of mobile phones. In the past year, he has been to two foreign countries for inspections. Information in cities in developed countries is very fast. This speed will bring high efficiency, higher social efficiency, and greater productivity. In terms of improvement, to put it exaggeratedly, one year's speed is comparable to two years.

The convenience of mobile phones cannot be replaced by pagers and landlines. It may not be so obvious in large companies, but in small manufacturers, the boss has a mobile phone and can contact suppliers and buyers at any time. How many times more efficient is this growth rate.

But if we want to promote the work of current state-owned enterprises, the local government has no big way to do it.

"Let's eat first."

In the private room of the government canteen, the food is the standard four dishes and one soup. Not only Huang Youwei, but also two deputy mayors and two heads of local state-owned enterprises are present.

Everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other. Lu Feng asked the deputy mayor in charge of municipal engineering: "How many signal towers are there in our city now? How much area can they cover?"

"We don't have much data in this area, but the quantity is certainly not large. There are several signal towers in the city center, as well as several types of commercial housing and factory areas. They are probably scattered here and there. Together, they cover the urban area. One-fifth of that."

After hearing this data, Lu Feng felt a little cold. The coverage was even lower than he imagined. Mainly because it was useless even if it covered general residential areas. Not one of the 10,000 people had a mobile phone. It was better to set up more phones. The line is real.

As things started to start, everyone changed glasses and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively. They started talking about the municipal infrastructure budget. Lu Feng asked Huang Youwei: "Secretary Huang, this matter is definitely good for the development of the city. For example, what do you think about the city providing money to support it and deducting it from the infrastructure budget?"

Before Huang Youwei could say anything, the deputy mayor in charge of municipal administration shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, absolutely not. If this money is useful, it must be invested by big entrepreneurs like Mr. Lu. The signal is there." If you do, you can sell mobile phones. Mobile phones are very expensive now. You can earn at least five to six thousand yuan by selling one mobile phone.”

The others nodded and looked at Lu Feng one by one, as if he were looking at a meat bun with a lot of stuffing.

"It's impossible for the city to provide money, don't think about it." Huang Youwei was afraid that Lu Feng would use his brain and said seriously to him: "I'm telling you this, the only thing the city can do is to cooperate. For the rest, you tell the province.”

Lu Feng asked again, if he invests in building signal towers, will these assets and operating rights also belong to the company? Huang Youwei repeatedly refused. As long as these things are implemented and occupy land in the city, they will be managed by the city, and the telecommunications business will belong to the company. The Postal and Telecommunications Group is in charge, and the two companies negotiate.

Now Huang Youwei is unwilling to say anything except opening his mouth. It is his credit that this thing was done. If it was not done, there would be no loss at all.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Huang Youwei smacked his lips and asked, "Let me ask you something. Is Jiafeng Group now considered a foreign investment or a joint venture?"

“It’s considered a foreign-owned holding!”

"Who do you think dares to hand over the telecommunications business to such a company? You make mobile phones. I know what you think. It's just that you can't survive in the company. This is a life-saving straw. It's a pity that you are lucky. It's really not good." Huang Youwei sighed and lit a pipe: "Is a mobile phone good? Good! It's just that the country now advocates the installation of telephone lines and popularization of landlines. The Post and Telecommunications Group is busy with this matter, but there are also good things. Let me bring you news that after today’s meeting, the chairman of China Unicom had a few words with me and he was quite interested.”

"It's not that I can't get along in the company, I'm doing very well." Lu Feng stared at Huang Youwei and said, "I'm no worse than you."

"You listened to me, sold the company directly, and started working in other industries. You would have been up a long time ago." Huang Youwei said with a slightly dissatisfied tone on his slightly tipsy face.
