Chapter 854: Betsy's Visit

During the meal, no one talked about any work matters. Occasionally, they talked about previous cooperation and the current world economic situation. Anyway, they seemed to be having a good time chatting.

We ate until after nine o'clock in the evening before the guests and hosts dispersed.

"What do they mean? Demonstration?" asked Che Yu Feihong, who was watching the Bao family leave.

"I arrived with you, how could I know if you didn't know?" Yang Dongxu shrugged.

"Don't I always feel that you are smarter than me? Even if we are together, you will definitely be able to see something."

"Hey, since when did you learn to flatter me? Tell me, is there something going on? Let's agree not to borrow money first. I'm so poor now that I don't have any money to lend you."

"Talking about money hurts feelings." Yu Feihong put his arm around Yang Dongxu's shoulders, "How about you lower the selling price of that universal charger?"

"Get out!" Yang Dongxu pushed Yu Feihong away.

In the Bao family's car leaving.

"That Yang Dongxu looks very powerful?" Bao Xingyu glanced at his parents sitting in the back seat and said.

Although nothing was discussed at the dinner, the conversations centered around Yang Dongxu made him very uncomfortable, whether it was his parents, his second aunt, his second aunt, or Fu Chaming who came with him.

After all, his grandfather was the shipping king, and he had been the absolute center since childhood. Now I suddenly found a mainlander who was younger than me standing in the center of the stage. It was strange that I stood aside to compliment him and not only complimented my parents, but also made him happy.

"Don't act out of anger, and don't offend him." Sister Bao glanced at her son with a somewhat unhappy look on her face.

But she was not angry with her son. After all, her son had done nothing wrong. He was dissatisfied with Yang Dongxu's attitude. They seemed to have talked about nothing at the dinner table just now. They were just talking briefly about whatever topic came to mind.

But this time I hurriedly came from Hong Kong for this meal, and even brought my second sister with me. He just wanted to test Yang Dongxu's attitude, but the result was of course self-evident. He tried several times but the other party didn't respond.

"He has a good background?" Bao Xingyu raised his eyebrows.

"It is said that he is the son of a high-ranking official in Yanjing. In recent years, our family's investments have been mainly in other places, so it is not clear that the upper-level relations have not moved much.

But now Huaxiu is one of the top five textile companies in the world, and he is the major shareholder of Huaxiu. In recent years, the rich families that have squeezed themselves into the Hong Kong rich list from second-rate families have raised their prices because of their cooperation with him.

Such people need resources and background in the mainland. If we want to invest in the mainland, there is no need to establish such an enemy for ourselves. "Sister Bao said.

"Is the company really going to transform? I feel like the overseas port and shipbuilding markets are pretty good. They have been increasing steadily in the past few years." Bao Xingyu looked at his parents with some confusion.

You must know that when my grandfather passed away, he actually intended for his successor to invest in the mainland. Perhaps there is an element of wanting to serve the motherland, but there are also many reasons why the shipping king is optimistic about the mainland market.

But at that time, my parents were not very optimistic about the mainland market. After all, there was not even a deep-water port at that time, and most of the goods exported every year were low-end raw materials.

Therefore, after accepting the family business, my parents did not invest in the mainland, but began to expand internationally. You can’t say you made a mistake in this step, because the profits of your home business have been steadily increasing over the years.

But you can't say that this decision is completely right, because the development of mainland China has exceeded everyone's expectations. If they had really invested early, the Bao family's current assets would have been at least three levels higher.

Even though it is only 30%, this is definitely a huge amount of wealth. After all, their family is a world-class shipping king, and they have a huge family property base here. The 30% increase is worth the assets of a large multinational company.

"The overseas investment environment is indeed good, and the market is mature and the risks are much smaller. But precisely because it is mature enough and the risks are small, both profits and opportunities are much smaller.

There are rumors that mainland China is about to join the WTO and its economy will be further integrated with international standards. In other words, the mainland's economy will once again accelerate on the fast track of rapid development.

Mainland China is a society of favors. Your grandfather did so many things back then and left a lot of favors. If you don't use it at this time, it will become useless over time. Sister Bao said with a frown.

Although this encounter was harmonious on the surface, it was not very pleasant secretly. Because Sister Bao hinted several times that the Bao family was ready to continue cooperating with Xiu Shui, Yang Dongxu remained indifferent and refused to take up the issue.

"My aunt's side"

"Don't worry about so much for now. Although the Bao family is not as prestigious as your grandfather was, it is not yet at the point of begging for cooperation. During this period, you should be more honest. Your father and I are visiting some people in the mainland. We will see when the time is right. ." Sister Bao rubbed her forehead.

Yes, the assets of the Bao family are rising steadily. Such achievements have been very good, which proves that he and his husband are certainly capable.

But with more money in his hands, his influence in the industry and his status are not as good as when his father was alive. This is a problem.

What small and medium-sized enterprises focus on is profits. Companies like them that are already at the top of the world have a very complex network of relationships in addition to profits.

Making money is important, but the respect and awe that status can gain from others is also important. When a rich man has money but no corresponding status, it is nothing if he just lives a life of idleness. If he wants to influence the entire industry like his father, or even become a guest of honor of some national leaders, it is far from enough to just make money.

After separating from Yu Feihong, Yang Dongxu went directly to the airport by car. After the matter in Shenzhen came to an end, he had to go home early to accompany his wife. There happened to be a flight to Shenzhen at 10:30 tonight.

He did not take the Bao family's little entanglement to heart, although he was also very optimistic about the development of the domestic shipping industry. But he already has many more profitable industries under his control, and most of them are physical industries, so it is enough to maintain the current status of Xiushui, and there is no need to invest heavily to expand.

After all, doing shipping in China now is not as rampant as before. As long as you have a ship and a way, you can run. Now the domestic shipping industry is becoming more and more standardized, and he cannot undertake the oil transportation business. If he only does freight, the current scale of Xiushui is just right.

The car drove in from the side door of Century Park and then parked in the parking lot of the Hurricane Building office building. At present, the entire Century Park is open to the public, so the employees of Hurricane Building basically use the dedicated passage.

After the morning meeting, Yang Dongxu watched and listened to Sun Yi's report on today's schedule while looking at the documents in his hand. As a result, the phone in front of him suddenly rang.

A few minutes later, Sun Yi took Bai Xi into his office, poured a cup of tea and left. Some schedules had to be revised because she was not sure how long her boss would talk to the female guest.

"What's the matter? Why did you come here in person?" Yang Dongxu looked up at Bai Xi, and then continued to look at the documents in front of him.

It was obviously a bit impolite to continue working while talking to guests, but I don't know since when this impoliteness seems to have disappeared between the two people. Although they are still competitors who are wary of each other most of the time, their relationship has inexplicably become closer.

"Telecom is in the entire Hong Kong Telecom, and has reached a certain cooperation with Yingke." Bai Xi said.

"Isn't China Mobile also looking at how to expand its market overseas? I heard that you are preparing to use Thailand as a pilot and plan to achieve signal coverage in major cities within two years." Yang Dongxu said casually, but his eyes finally moved away from the documents and looked at Bai Xi. Obviously, his inner thoughts were not as casual as he said on the surface.

In the past two years, China Telecom has been making frequent moves. First, it finally squeezed into the mobile communications market with Xiaolingtong, which made the three major communications operators, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom, suffer a setback and had to force price cuts to stabilize the market.

Internationally, China Telecom is also faster than the three major operators, such as the integration of Hong Kong Telecom and Yingke. For example, as the son of the country, China Telecom has participated in the data transmission of the Olympic Games TV for the first time, showing its face in front of the people of the world.

On the other hand, among the three major operators, China Telecom has always been low-key and has not deliberately pursued market expansion, focusing on operating its own small piece of land.

China Mobile has been following China Telecom and constantly making things happen, squeezing China Unicom a little uncomfortable. But compared with China Telecom, it is always a little bit worse.

"I heard that Dongxu Technology has made a breakthrough in data transmission technology?" Bai Xi gathered her messy hair around her ears and leaned back in her chair. When no one was around, she was very relaxed when facing Yang Dongxu.

"You should go to see Manager Ye of Dongxu Technology. Dongxu Technology has always had a good reputation in business. Whether it is used by China Telecom or products in other fields, as long as the cooperation is reached, their service is 100% dedicated."

"I know this, and you don't need to say more." Bai Xi said.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of Dongxu Technology's technology in the Internet industry, China Mobile and Dongxu Technology have cooperated a lot. As far as the current situation is concerned, Dongxu Technology has indeed not gone abroad, and has never had any small tricks that damage its reputation. It is absolutely a conscientious industry in the industry.

"Then you can find me."

"Analog phones are going to be eliminated, and the country is now interested in the second generation of digital mobile communications." Bai Xi sat up straight and her face became serious.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Xi. He was not very clear when the 2G era came in his previous life. After all, as an ordinary person, he had no time and interest to care about this.

In this life, if nothing unexpected happens, analog telephones, that is, 1G calls, will be discontinued in China in two months, and mobile phones will be announced to enter the 2G era.

"I heard that the technology developed by Dongxu Technology has surpassed the current market technology and reached the level of 2.5G, and is heading towards 3G?" Bai Xi continued to speak, this was the purpose of her coming to Yang Dongxu in person.
