Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 118: Hong Kong trip

   When the "Voice of America" ​​was booming, John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, called Henry.

   "Chairman, China is a big country with a population of 1.3 billion, and the future market is huge! A week ago, China found our Cisco company and planned to build a Sino-US submarine optical cable. Therefore, I think it's time for Cisco to enter the Chinese market!"

   Henry was taken aback for a moment, then he began to think.

   In the past life, Cisco entered China, but ultimately failed. Lessons from the past, don’t ignore it!

   Henry was a Chinese in his previous life, how could he not understand the situation in China?

   As an American company, Cisco's surname is "capital." How can China give Cisco the initiative of network equipment, which involves national security information?

   There is no doubt that Cisco’s technology is useless no matter how good it is.

   Henry thought for a while, and finally replied: "Cisco can enter China, but we have to change it!"

   John Chambers did not speak, and waited quietly for the following.

Henry paused and said: "China's national conditions are different from European and American countries. It can be said that it is very xenophobic, let alone network equipment involving national information security. Therefore, we must adopt a circuitous strategy. First, Cisco uses technology to invest in shares. , Invest in a Chinese company. Second, set up an offshore company with a venture capital nature to invest in Chinese companies. With the two-pronged approach, we can get the controlling rights of the Chinese company. Of course, in order to conceal the public, venture capital offshore companies have a bright face. Admiral will be a Hong Kong company, you know, in 1997, when Hong Kong returned, mainland China and Hong Kong were one. We controlled the mainland Chinese company through a Hong Kong company to reduce the level of hostility among the Chinese!"

   John Chambers nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, according to what you said, Chairman, it really makes sense!"

   Henry said: "Let’s go to Hong Kong in person and set up an investment company there. At the same time, I am also looking for a Chinese network equipment company that Cisco needs to invest in!!!"

   "Okay, before the chairman goes to Hong Kong, I will let the branch in Hong Kong arrange a place to live for the chairman!"

   "Well, that's it." Henry hung up after speaking.

   Henry poured himself a glass of red wine, then shook the glass, muttering: "Goal, Warwick Company..."

  Huawei Company is currently starting to independently develop and commercialize PBX technology for hotels and small businesses, while PBX is a program-controlled switch. In other words, Warwick already has a certain amount of switch technology. However, for the moment, no matter the scale and technology are compared with Cisco, it is like the difference between Yinghuo and Haoyue!

   However, Henry knew that Warwick relied on China's huge market and developed rapidly, and even later counterattacked the United States, ready to stage a drama of **~Si's counterattack against the wealthy and handsome! However, the United States used security as an excuse to set up barriers against Chinese telecommunications equipment companies. Warwick has been unable to enter the huge US market...

   Don’t look at China’s xenophobia, in fact, it’s the same in the United States.

   Henry understands the truth, so naturally he will not make mistakes. Since China is sure to suppress foreign telecommunications equipment companies, it supports Warwick and uses a variety of means to achieve absolute control to separate the company's management rights and ownership. The company's management rights belong to China, but the company's ownership belongs to Cisco. The stronger Warwick means the stronger Cisco, and Cisco will be able to earn very rich profits from Warwick!

  ……

  ……

   Ten days later, Henry arrived at the Hong Kong Airport and drove to the Peninsula Hotel.

  The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest hotel in Hong Kong, and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world! At present, the Peninsula Hotel is owned and operated by the British-Jewish Kadoorie family. They naturally knew the news of Henry staying at the Peninsula Hotel. After receiving the news that Henry wanted to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, the Kadoorie family prepared a top suite and arranged a Rolls-Royce motorcade transfer!

   When Henry arrived at the door of the hotel, Roland Kadoorie, the head of the Kadoorie family, was already waiting here with a group of people.

After Henry got out of the car, he saw a gray-haired old man standing in the forefront. Henry saw this person in the photo and knew that he was Roland Kadoorie, who was nearly 91 years old. It was under his leadership that he would The Kadoorie family took to the top and became one of the rich family in Hong Kong!

   "Welcome to Mr. Williams!!!!" Roland Kadoorie smiled at Henry, and the rows of people behind him greeted him.

Henry did not expect 91-year-old Roland Kadoorie to pick him up in person. He was a little surprised. He hurried forward, held the old man, smiled and said hello to him: "Mr. Roland Kadoorie, hello I have heard of your deeds as early as in the United States. I really admire you!"

  The Kadoorie family was established in Shanghai, and the industry involved electric power, hotel, real estate, trade, finance, cable car and other industries. But because of World War II, the Kadoorie family was hit hard, and the family industry was at a low point. Finally, under the auspices of Roland Kadoorie, the CLP Power Company and the Peninsula Hotel were rebuilt. Especially the China Light and Power Company, whose business has developed very rapidly, and its assets have increased exponentially~lightnovelpub.net~ soon became one of the top ten listed companies with the highest market value in Hong Kong! ! !

   So far, the Kadoorie family currently controls two major group companies, China Light & Power and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel!

In fact, the Peninsula Hong Kong is just one of the subsidiaries of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel also owns the Peninsula New York, the Peninsula Chicago, the Peninsula Beverly Hills, the Peninsula Bangkok, and the Peninsula Beijing. The Peninsula Manila, The Peninsula Tokyo, The Peninsula Shanghai, etc...

   "Mr. Williams really appreciates..." Roland Kadoorie said modestly. If in front of others, he might be proud, but in front of Henry, he would never be proud. It took decades for the entire Kadoorie family to accumulate wealth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, it took only a few years for this young man to accumulate nearly 100 billion US dollars of wealth. I don’t know, I feel ashamed when I compare...

   What's more, Henry Williams’s surname is Williams, and the first richest person in the "Forbes Rich List" is actually called William the Great. If it doesn’t matter, who believes it? Those with power can inquire that "Forbes" can't get the information of the shareholders of the Internet giant company, so it deliberately creates a William the Great, the purpose of which is to direct the finger at Henry Williams! According to reliable sources, Henry Williams has connections with major Internet giants. It seems that the CEOs of major companies have bowed their heads to him... And what does this back mean, can't you still guess? ? ? (Please recommend and collect!!!
