Chapter 118: Hong Kong Tour

When the "Voice of America" was booming, Cisco CEO John Chambers 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 approached our Cisco company and planned to build a Sino-US submarine fiber optic cable. So, I think it's time for Cisco to enter the Chinese market!"

Henry was stunned for a moment, then pondered.

In the previous life, Cisco entered China and ultimately failed. A lesson from the past, you must not 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", so how can China give Cisco, the initiative of network equipment involving national security information?

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

Henry thought for a while, and finally replied: "Cisco can enter China, but in a different way!"

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

Henry paused and said: "China's national conditions are different from those of Europe and the United States, and it can be said that it is very exclusive, not to mention the network equipment involving national information security. So, we have to take a roundabout approach. First, Cisco invested in a Chinese company with a stake in technology. Second, set up a venture capital offshore company to invest in Chinese companies. With a two-pronged approach, we can get a controlling stake in a Chinese company. Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, the venture capital offshore company will be a Hong Kong enterprise on the surface, you know, in 1997, Hong Kong returned to China, Chinese mainland and Hong Kong are one, we control Chinese mainland enterprises through Hong Kong companies, so as to reduce the degree of hostility of the Chinese!"

John Chambers nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, according to what you say, chairman, it does make sense!"

Henry said, "Well, I'll go to Hong Kong myself and set up an investment company there." At the same time, we are also looking for a Chinese network equipment company that Cisco needs to invest in!!"

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

"Well, that's it. With that, Henry hung up.

Henry poured himself a glass of red wine, then shook his glass and muttered, "Target, Warwick ......"

Huawei has begun to independently develop PBX technology for hotels and small businesses and commercialize it, and PBX is a program-controlled switch. In other words, Huawei already has a certain switch technology. However, for now, whether it is scale and technology compared to Cisco, it is like the difference between fireflies and bright moons!

However, the United States has set up a barrier for China's telecommunications equipment companies under the pretext of security, and Warwick has not been able to enter the huge American market......

Don't look at China's xenophobia, in fact, the United States is the same.

Henry understands the truth, so he naturally can't make mistakes. Since China will definitely suppress foreign telecommunications equipment companies, it will support Huawei Company and achieve absolute control through various means, so that the company's management rights and ownership rights are separated, and the company's management rights belong to China, but the company's ownership belongs to Cisco. The stronger Warwick is, the stronger Cisco is, and Cisco can earn very rich benefits from Warwick!

……

……

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

The Peninsula is the oldest surviving hotel in Hong Kong, and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world! After receiving the news that Henry was going to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, the Kadoorie family prepared a premium suite and arranged a Rolls-Royce fleet transfer!

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

After Henry got out of the car, he saw a gray-haired old man standing at the front, Henry saw this person in the photo, and knew that he was Roland Kadoorie, who was nearly 91 years old, and it was under his leadership that the Kadoorie family was brought to the top and became one of the wealthy families in Hong Kong!

"Welcome, Mr. Williams!!," Roland Kadoorie smiled at Henry, and a few rows behind him greeted him.

Henry did not expect that the 91-year-old Roland Kadoorie would come to pick him up in person, and he was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the old man, and greeted him with a slight smile: "Hello, Mr. Roland Kadoorie! I have heard about your deeds in the United States, and I really admire you!"

The Kadoorie family originated in Shanghai, and its industries involve electric power, hotels, real estate, trade, finance, cable cars and other industries. However, because of World War II, the Kadoorie family was hit hard, and the family business was at a low point. Finally, under the auspices of Lorence Kadoorie, CLP Power and The Peninsula were rebuilt. CLP Power Hong Kong, in particular, developed its business rapidly and its assets increased exponentially, and soon became one of the top 10 listed companies with the highest market capitalization in Hong Kong!!

Today, the Kadoorie family currently controls two major group companies, CLP Power and The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels!

In fact, The Peninsula Hong Kong is just one of the subsidiaries of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, which also owns The Peninsula New York, The Peninsula Chicago, The Peninsula Beverly Hills, The Peninsula Bangkok, The Peninsula Beijing, The Peninsula Manila, The Peninsula Tokyo, The Peninsula Shanghai and many more......

"Mr. Williams is really awarded...... "Rorente Kadoorie said modestly. If he was in front of others, he might be proud, but in front of Henry, he would never be proud. It took the entire Kadoorie family decades to accumulate a wealth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, but it only took a few years for the young man in front of him to accumulate a wealth of nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. It's not like I don't know, and I'm embarrassed if I compare......

What's more, Henry Williams' surname is Williams, and the richest man on the "Forbes Rich List" is actually called William the Great; if this doesn't matter, who would believe it? Powerful people can find out that Forbes can't get information on the shareholders and members of the Internet giant companies, so it deliberately creates a William Great, and its purpose is to point the finger at Henry Williams! According to reliable sources, Henry Williams has ties with all the major Internet giant companies, and it seems that the CEOs of the major companies have bowed down to him...... And what does this back mean, can't you guess it??? (ask for recommendation and collection!! author Jun has built a book friend group: 424930141, welcome everyone to join...... )
