The global financial crisis, how many happy and how sad are the communication equipment manufacturers?

Affected by the global credit crunch and declining sales, Nortel Networks filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware, in January 2009. It was the first major technology company to file for bankruptcy protection amid the global economic crisis.

According to bankruptcy filings filed by Toronto-based Nortel Networks, the company has a net balance sheet of more than $1 billion. Nortel and several of its subsidiaries have filed for bankruptcy protection in the Wilmington, Delaware, bankruptcy court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code, and said that several of its Canadian subsidiaries will also file for bankruptcy protection.

Motorola announced that it will cut another 4,000 employees in 2009, following the 3,000 layoffs in 2008.

Motorola said the move would save the company about $700 million a year starting in 2009 and $1.5 billion a year when combined with layoffs in 2008. The layoffs are the latest steps Motorola has taken to cut costs. Previously, the company had announced in December 2008 that it would freeze its pension plan and cut executive compensation.

Nokia Siemens Networks hopes that by the end of 2009, the restructuring will result in annual cost savings of $2.55 billion. It is reported that Nokia Siemens will lay off 750 employees in Finland and 2,300 in Germany, and in addition, in order to complete the corporate restructuring and meet the challenges of the telecommunications market, the company will also close a factory in Munich, which will cut an additional 500 employees.

Nokia Siemens also said that it has laid off 6,000 people so far, and believes the final number of layoffs will be around 9,000, about 10 to 15 percent of the company's global workforce.

Alcatel-Lucent has sold the 46-year-old Bell Labs building, which real estate developer Somerset has bought out of its former glory and plans to convert it into a shopping mall and residential building.

The sale of the Bell Labs building also reflects Alcatel-Lucent's current woes, with CEO Stephen Lu and non-executive chairman Serge Scherrick announcing their resignations after six consecutive quarters of losses. Since the merger in November 2006, Alang, who had never made a profit, has lost 62% of its market value and laid off 16,200 employees.

China's Weihua Company continues to conquer the global market and become the world's leading communications equipment manufacturer.

The company's overseas grain production areas have expanded from the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and North Africa to Europe and Latin America.

Qian Dan will bid farewell to Egypt and the Middle East and North Africa in the fall of 2009.

He drove alone through the boulevards of Miady. The iPod was connected to the car radio, and Faye Wong's song came out of the radio:

Hug some people along the way

While trying to break up with some people

Someone's back is constantly expanding

And some of the scenarios are shrinking

，，，，，，

Everyone is a flea on a one-way street

Everyone converts to their own religion

Everyone is looking for it on a one-way street

No one believes that there is actually no need to look for it

He was influenced by Lin Han and Xiaoyu, and he liked Faye Wong more and more.

He also likes to walk through such shades on a sunny day, where the sunlight shines through the leaves on the moving car, causing the light and shadow in the car to change and flicker, as if to imply the flow of time.

He remembered a time when he returned to China, and an elder expressed his concern: "Isn't Egypt desolate? Can you see the tree? Life must be boring! ”

The elder didn't expect that there would be such a cool tree in Maiady, and there would be a warm flower shop blooming one after another by the road.

In those days, Qian Dan used to recite the Egyptian proverb on his lips: "As long as you drink the water of the Nile, no matter how far you go in the future, you will come back one day."

He believed in the proverb that one day he would come back to see Cairo and walk the streets of Maiady again.

But now he has to leave, and the work in Egypt has been handed over, and it is time to say goodbye.

Early the morning before leaving Cairo, Ammar called Chandan downstairs in his dormitory.

He stood beside the old but neatly cleaned red Turkish car, and as soon as he saw Qian Dan walking out of the staircase, he opened the trunk and took out a hookah and some cigarette materials from it and gave them to Qian Dan as a parting gift.

Amar earnestly explained to Qian Dan how to use this delicate smoking device. Qian Dan didn't remember it carefully, he thought that he would not sit alone on the rocking chair on the balcony and smoke an Arabic shisha after returning to Shenzhen, but he would definitely treasure this gift, and slowly precipitate and carve the drunken Cairo time in his heart.

He smoked shisha completely by the Egyptian in front of him, first at "Friday's" by the Nile, where he first got to know the smell of shisha at the encouragement of several Egyptian employees. Later, when I laze on a Saturday afternoon in the alley near Ammar's house, when I look down on the lights of thousands of homes on the top of the wooden cartoon hill, and when I spend time with the happy young Egyptians in the open-air café called the "Casino" on the Nile, they will have a bottle of gurgling hookah next to them.

Several local young people that Qian Dan was familiar with rushed to say goodbye to his single life before Ammar. Sammy was married to the girl who was a dentist, and Sammy sent his joy by mail before the wedding, and Qian Dan regretted that he did not have the opportunity to go to Iraq to attend his and her wedding, but asked someone to bring a gift, a frame inlaid with Chinese butterfly specimens.

Matiha, the department secretary who can speak Chinese, is also married, and she once joked that Chinese also have a chance, and she ended up marrying an Egyptian man who also spoke Chinese and often traveled to Tianjin on business. Qian Dan went to buy a frame inlaid with Chinese butterfly specimens as a wedding gift.

Ammar still misses his Chinese goddess occasionally, but has slowly let go.

On the eve of saying goodbye, Qian Dan had another hot pot banquet in the dormitory, where everyone sat around the table, not wanting to end until all the eggs in the refrigerator were beaten into the hot pot until the last glass of wine was drunk.

The last supper was accompanied by Lao Xie, Lu Wentao, Lin Han, Xiaoyu and Su Lin. Qian Dan hasn't said goodbye to Su Lin these days, and specially invited her to eat hot pot this night.

It was the last prayer time of the day, and the radio of the mosque next door went off again, and Qian Dan stepped onto the balcony.

He turned to everyone and said, "Every time I hear the sound of the mosque now, I feel very calm in my heart, and I even feel that my soul is being called, and I really fall in love with this place!" ”

Lu Wentao drank a lot of wine, staggered to his feet, and asked Qian Dan: "Then what are you in a hurry to go?" In half a year, you will be able to get the gold medal of 'Heavenly Reward for Diligence' in the Middle East and North Africa, and the regional department will also intend to arrange more important positions for you, and there will be no place for you when you go back. ”

Qian Dan said emotionally: "I didn't think about leaving at all half a year ago. On the night of Chen Yongsheng's accident, I stood here listening to the prayer of the morning prayer, and remembered a question that Lao Han asked me on the mountains of Iraq, what is the meaning of life? Then I went back to take a vacation, and saw that my mother was getting older again, she was not in good health, and she was going to have an operation after the New Year. I stayed at my parents' house for a few days, that day standing in my mother's room looking at the world map on the wall, that is the map I bought after I came overseas in order to figure out my location, I suddenly feel very lucky, for so many years my parents have been allowed me to grow freely without heart and lungs, never asked for anything, I know how much they care about me, how much they wish I went home to see it! Also, Qin Xin is pregnant, and this vacation was unexpected. I think I should go back, I want to go back to guard my mother's surgery and accompany my wife to give birth to a baby. Am I lazy? ”

Lao Xie stood up: "Count!" Of course you're called lazy. I resolutely applied to return to China last year, and I can't leave until after the Spring Festival next year, but you actually walked so fast? It's too lazy! ”

Lu Wentao shouted: "I said don't be crooked, let's go to the pyramid to have a look!" ”

"Go to the pyramids at this time? You've drunk too much, haven't you? ”

"Didn't you two just say that you haven't seen the sound and light show at night at the pyramids? I haven't been there either, so let's go, I'll show you. ”

Xiaoyu looked at her watch seriously: "What time is it?" It's already over, right? ”

"What if there's a midnight show?"

Qian Dan was interested: "Let's go!" Go and see the pyramids! Do you want to go? ”

Lin Han said: "You three old men go, it's just a car, now Lao Xie drinks less, and he can still drive, and he can only drive one car." Xiaoyu drank a little too much today, so I accompanied her to rest early. ”

"You two have a good life in the two-person world of the two of you", Qian Dan turned to Su Lin, who had been silent: "Do you want to go together?" Coming back just in time to send you back to the dorm. ”

The four of them really went to the pyramids. The sound and light show held every night in front of the Sphinx has long since ended, and the iron fence blocks the way into the park, and it is deserted and chilly in all directions, and several people look at the Sphinx and the pyramid in the moonlight outside the fence.

Qian Dan always remembered what Zeng Zijian said in 2005 in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, and he also sighed: "For this world, we all come to live to be 100 years old at most, and we are all here on business trips and passing by in a hurry; The pyramids and the Sphinx can be regarded as permanent employees sent to Earth, but they will disappear one day; Only the Red Sea, Mount Sinai and the Sahara are the masters of the earth! ”

Su Lin looked at him, her eyes flashing, and she didn't say anything.

Back in Maiady from the pyramids, the car stopped at the intersection opposite "Friday's", and Surin got out of the car and waved goodbye to everyone.

Waiting for the car to drive a few meters away, Qian Dan suddenly called Lao Xie: "It's too late, why is it dark under their building?" Broken lights? I sent Su Lin upstairs. ”

He got out of the car.

Lu Wentao shouted loudly: "People are safe, don't be sent out of danger by you!" ”

Lao Xie smiled ambiguously: "Take a taxi back by yourself, I won't wait for you." ”

After all, he really walked away.

The night in Maiady remains quiet, with wild cats roaming silently and blue morning glories blooming silently.

Walking to the door of Su Lin's dormitory, Qian Dan thought about not having too much sadness and ambiguity, but still blurted out: "Okay, some people will always meet when they go around and around, and some people will not see each other once they say goodbye, we don't know when we will meet again?" ”

Su Lin still has a familiar smile: "See you next year!" I promised my boyfriend to get married next year and send you the invitation when the time comes, and you are welcome to my wedding. ”

Qian Dan readily promised: "Okay! I haven't been to Chengdu in 10 years. ”

Su Lin stared into his eyes, and then, took a step closer, lowered her head slightly, and gently pressed her forehead against his chest: "In my life, you are no longer a spectator, not a passerby, you can be regarded as a priest, right?" Please come and witness my happiness and the happiness of my life! ”

Qian Dan went downstairs, and when he was walking on the road, he subconsciously looked back, but saw Su Lin standing motionless by the window of her room, the window was open, and the Nile wind blew the curtains, making her shadow looming.

He stopped, only a few seconds, and then quickened his pace again, never looking back.

Back in the dormitory, the roommates had closed the bedroom door.

He stood alone on the balcony in a daze, took out his mobile phone, but unexpectedly saw a text message from Qin Xin: "All the way smoothly!" Send me your flight number and I'll pick you up at the Hong Kong airport. Let's go to Cartier and buy two rings to wear, not to ask for the size of the diamond, but not to take it. ”

Qin Xin had no hobby for luxury, and they didn't buy a diamond ring when they got married. Qian Dan replied: "Okay, let's also put on the ring and trap it." ”

The car that sent Qian Dan was speeding on the road from Miadi to Cairo International Airport, what a familiar journey!

The Ali Mosque has appeared far in front of the left, standing alone on the top of Cairo overlooking all living beings for thousands of years, how many people are hurrying under its feet like today's Qian Dan? Where did they and them come from? Where are you going? Will you come back if you're gone?

Time is always like an arrow, the sun and the moon are always like a shuttle, and when it was time to leave, Qian Dan still felt that there were too many things to do, such as smoking a pot of hookah, drinking a cup of black tea, and eating a hot pot with his friends here; Then work overtime, stay up late, and have an endless meeting; Then go aimlessly with the wind on a Nile sailboat.

Suddenly received a text message from Zeng Zijian on his mobile phone, he said: "Shishi chatted with Qin Xin on QQ and only knew that you were going back today, why didn't you say it?" ”

They haven't been in touch with each other for a long time, some broken mirrors can try to recircle, and some cracks can't be repaired.

Qian Dan put the phone back in his trouser pocket, took it out again after a while, and replied: "You and I are so self-conscious, ask Shishi!" ”

In front of the Emirates counter at Cairo International Airport, the blonde woman inside asked him in Chinese: "Do you have any luggage to check?" ”

Qian Dan met her several times, at first she only spoke English, and later asked in Chinese: "Where are you going?" Now apparently practicing the new sentences she had learned, everyone could see Qian Dan dragging two large suitcases, carrying two computers, and carrying a hookah.

He had long developed the habit of choosing a seat on the side of the aisle, for the convenience of movement on a long-distance flight, but this time he specially asked for a window seat. The plane soared away from the earth, and he stared out the window, the washed sky without a trace of wings, and he had flown by.

After Qian Dan left, Lao Xie and Lu Wentao left Egypt one after another. Lao Xie returned to China, and Lu Wentao was transferred to the Western Europe Regional Department to continue his overseas journey. Europe is becoming the TOP1 source of overseas revenue for Weiwa.

Lin Han and Xiaoyu got married, and they decided to stay in Egypt and work together to visit the temples in the south, the coastline in the north, and the popular spots for mountaineering and diving in the Sinai Peninsula.

In 2009, Weihua's global sales exceeded US$30 billion, and sales revenue reached US$21.5 billion.

According to data from American magazines, Weihua became the second Chinese private technology company to successfully break into the world's top 500 companies after Lenovo Group in 2009.

All the past is prologue.
