Video Game Empire

The development history of Dongfang Group in the past ten years has been recognized by the entire i industry as an unprecedented great miracle.

Hong Kong people's perception of the Oriental Group is undoubtedly the most specific. In the media in Hong Kong time and time again, its founder Li Xuan has long been crowned "God of Fortune", "Shadow Governor of Hong Kong", "Hong Kong Underground Tsar" Waiting for a series of amazing names.

Now the Oriental Group has developed into a comprehensive consortium spanning electronics, finance, entertainment media, commerce and other industries. But outside of Hong Kong, the main perception of it is mainly on its image as a leading company in the global i industry.

And among them, there are also differences in the impressions of the industry and the public on the Oriental Group. Those who have studied the development history of the Oriental Group almost unanimously believe that there are two subsidiaries, which occupy a very special position in the entire Oriental Group.

One is the Oriental game company that provided huge financial support for the early diversification and expansion of the Oriental Group. Dongfang Games is naturally a household name among game fans around the world, but it has little influence outside the game industry.

And when it comes to the asset in the Oriental Group that is most envied and hated by its peers, it is definitely not the Oriental Research Institute! Described in the commentary of the American "Times": This is the last great R&D institution in the twentieth century that was able to change the entire world!

If the Oriental Game Company represents the glorious past of the Oriental Group, the Oriental Research Institute is enough to support the bright future of the Oriental Group! From the chip technology represented by r at the beginning, to the later liquid crystal technology, interconnection technology, and the latest digital mobile communication technology, the Oriental Research Institute will more and more profoundly influence and change the whole world!

Whether it is the Financial City of London or Wall Street in New York, they all covet the core assets of the Oriental Group, such as the Oriental Game Company and the Oriental Research Institute. But the richest man Li, who is not short of money, has no urge to securitize these core companies.

To the public, the combined popularity of Dongfang Games and Dongfang Research Institute may not be as famous as the one from Aikang! Among all the subsidiaries of the Oriental Group, Aikang is definitely an outlier!

Although with the continuous expansion of Aikang's market value, Li Xuan's shareholding ratio has been diluted to only about 40, and he has lost absolute control! But in addition to Li Xuan, the largest shareholder, the nine institutional shareholders with the tenth largest shareholding share less than five in total, making it difficult to challenge his control.

There is no doubt that Aikang is a company under the name of Li Xuan, but the British media headed by Fleet Street in London began to separate Aikang from the entire Eastern Department, intentionally or unintentionally, and report it individually!

So many users who don't know the history of Aikang's development, they don't even know that the Ikang computer they bought is actually a product of the same group as Dongfang Software and Dongfang Games on the computer!

Li Xuan, of course, completely agrees with the British media's practice of slapping a swollen face and making a fat man! It can even be said that the change in the propaganda caliber of the British media is secretly due to the deliberate guidance of the Oriental Group! After all, after obtaining the status of a British enterprise, Ikon can put on the tiger skin of Downing Street as its backstage in the global expansion.

As the second largest British Empire in the world, the political and business asylum it can provide for Aikang is naturally not comparable to the small colony of Hong Kong! But Ikon's British corporate identity can sometimes cause some trouble!

For example, in the current mobile communication technology, it has begun to change from analog to digital. The da standard that the Oriental Group is going to implement is bound to start a fierce market competition with the gs standard formulated by the European Telecommunications Standardization Institute (si).

si was approved by the European Commission in 1988, a non-profit telecommunications standardization organization. Its standards will be adopted and implemented by the entire European Community as technical standards for the European market.

In other words, the whole of Europe is the gods and gardens of gs! As one of the core member states of the European Community, the United Kingdom is no exception! This makes Aikang's situation quite embarrassing, because as a subsidiary of Dongfang Group, it should be a natural supporter of the da standard!

However, once Aikangcheng becomes the vanguard of da's entry into the European market, it is likely to be labeled as a "traitor" by competitors and rejected by the whole of Europe!

You must know that si is nominally a non-profit organization approved by the European Community, but the real promoters behind it are actually European telecom service providers represented by Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, etc.!

It is precisely by pushing for the development of gs standards that they directly exclude competitors like the Oriental Group. This is actually a naked market monopoly, but it has been covered with a legal coat!

As a past person, Li Xuan never considered competing with GS in the European market! Even in order to compete with Vodafone in the UK local market, Aikang also said that it would not actively reject the gs standard!

To this end, Aikang also took the opportunity to carry out a round of self-promotion through the media, showing that it is a public company with independent will, and will not sacrifice the overall interests of the company in order to succumb to the interests of major shareholders!

But in markets other than Europe, Li Xuan is not ready to give gs a chance to rise!

Compared with the gs of the Europeans, the da in Li Xuan's hands has two incomparable innate advantages! The first is that the technical performance of da is more superior, and the second is that its commercialization is faster!

In another time and space, gs in the g era and gprs in 5g have almost occupied more than 80% of the global mobile communication market. But in the era of g, Qualcomm is still relying on da to soar into the sky and become an i giant with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars!

da represents a brighter future for mobile communication technology. This is an objective law that cannot be changed no matter how GS churns! The biggest reason why Qualcomm in another time and space has a bad start is that the start of da technology is later than that of gs!

What's more, Qualcomm at that time was just a company. In terms of R&D investment, it can't be compared with the gs, which is backed by the entire European telecom manufacturer. Therefore, da Kong had theoretical technical advantages at that time, but it was full of loopholes in actual commercial operation, which was far less mature and stable than GS!

Li Xuan with "gold fingers" will naturally not make the same mistake again! The speed of da's current commercialization is unrivaled in the second generation of digital mobile communication standards. As early as three or four years ago, communication based on da technical standards began to provide users with digital mobile communication services in Hong Kong!

This is also where Li Xuan plans to promote the da standard globally, the greatest confidence lies in it!

Taking the American market as an example, if the g standards developed by the Americans have already taken root, no matter how close Li Xuan's relationship with the White House is, Bush Sr. will never dare to stand up and speak up for Da! Because if he dares to do this, local companies can label him as a "traitor" with only a little public opinion guidance!

But now the domestic companies in the United States are not up to their expectations. Whether it is Motorola's d-aps or a& company's id, they are only prototypes in the laboratory, which gives Li Xuan another room for hype!

After all, time waits for no one! As a market-oriented country, the right of consumers to enjoy the most advanced technology cannot be deprived of the incompetence of local enterprises!

Now, the only thing that Li Xuan needs to settle is those local American companies who think that da will harm their own interests! This is also the fundamental reason why da was blocked in f before.

And the solution Li Xuan prepared, of course, was to use the wisdom of our old ancestors - the vertical and horizontal!

The two biggest obstacles in front of da are undoubtedly Motorola and a&. And with Li Xuan and Dongfang Group's strong political and business foundation in the United States, even if they only need to pull one to one, they can achieve a ratio of 1, and successfully make da the established standard of mobile communication technology in the United States.

Who should a& and Motorola win? This is the key to determining whether da can successfully occupy the American market!

Motorola strongly opposes da, on the one hand, because it has already started to develop the d-aps standard, but more importantly, it is the absolute leader in the American analog mobile communication market!

da, as a digital technology, was originally intended to revolutionize analog cellular technology! And Big Brother is the most representative star product of the entire Motorola company! If the da standard is popularized in the United States, it means that Big Brother has been swept into the garbage heap of history, so it has an irreconcilable contradiction with da.

In comparison, the reasons for a& company's objection are much simpler! The reason why it wants to cause trouble for da is mainly because the core patents of da are in the hands of the Oriental Group, and it cannot share the fruits of victory from it!

As long as Li Xuan can make concessions that satisfy a&, he can turn his guns around and join the da camp at any time! But ~www.readwn.com~ how to make concessions is also a learning!

a&As the largest telecommunications operator in the United States, it naturally has the confidence to open its mouth! Li Xuan can only have the right to a fair dialogue if he has enough cards in his hand!

Therefore, Li Xuan first shakes the market's confidence in the profitability of a&'s core business - the long-distance telephone market by exaggerating the theory of interconnection subversion. In order to calm the capital market's panic about the impact of the Internet, a& had to promise to increase investment in this emerging field.

In the field of Internet, Li Xuan and Dongfang Group are naturally stronger than a&, so they have a bargaining chip with each other!

As for Aikang's intentional bid for r company, it was Li Xuan who showed his fangs to the other party! or cooperate? or war? This is equivalent to blocking A&'s retreat, forcing it to take the initiative to sit at the negotiating table!

After the above foreshadowing, Li Xuan relinquished some interests. For example, for a series of patents involving the da standard, a& company can obtain the most extensive authorization at the most favorable price, and the two parties cooperate to develop basic communication equipment based on the da standard. , sharing da mobile communication market, etc.!

Although the Oriental Group may lose a portion of its profits, the addition of a& company to the da camp has an incomparable effect on its promotion in the global market!

Lucent, which was spun off from a& in later generations, and the business foundation accumulated by the company in the fierce global competition in the past 100 years is far beyond what a nouveau riche like the Oriental Group can match!

This is even more obvious in a non-free competition industry like telecommunications!
