627 Invested in the European communications industry
"The young people of the future are not just them." When Chen Zhiwen was chatting with his old man, Wu Xiuling's voice came from behind.
"Mom, Xiaoli." Chen Zhiwen turned around and saw that his mother was walking from behind with Liu Xiaoli.
"What do you mean?" Chen Tianfu asked, he heard his wife's words, and it seemed that there was a surprise.
"Haha, son, you're going to be a dad again." Wu Xiuling smiled happily: "Xiaoli is pregnant again." ”
"Pregnant again?" Chen Zhiwen was overjoyed in his heart, over the years, the Chen family has no new descendants, probably because a bunch of twins are too difficult to bring.
It is true that the Chen family is rich, not to mention the existing ten nannies, even if they find a hundred, it is not a problem, but Chen Zhiwen and his wife also hope that they can participate in the growth of their children, play with them, educate and learn together.
On the one hand, the two are children for the first time, and on the other hand, the two are parents for the first time, that is, in the long-term companionship, they have gained inseparable feelings, which is the most important thing, and even the career is ranked a little behind.
"Look at you, I don't know how to care about Xiaoli, our Chen family is such a big business, how can we only have two children, you will have more snacks in the future." Wu Xiuling helped Liu Xiaoli sit down and said.
"Are these still twins?" Chen Tianfu asked suddenly.
"No, there's only one." Liu Xiaoli replied.
"It's so easy to have twins, it's good to have a pair." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, he has seen many pairs of twins on Douyin in later generations, the big pair in front and the small pair in the back, but since it can be seen on Douyin and become a small traffic, it shows that this must be very rare. One of the bad things about the Internet is that it informs everyone about rare things, and then makes everyone feel that this is the norm.
"I have accompanied Xiaoli to the hospital for a check-up, the fetus is very healthy, but we didn't ask about men and women, when the time comes, let's have a surprise." Wu Xiuling said.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, a woman can also be trained into a talent, whether it's business, zz or art." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.
In fact, money is enough, too much, you have to have the ability to control it, for his descendants, he will naturally cultivate people who have the ability to inherit this family property, but there are exceptions to everything, among the world's wealthy families, children who do not want to inherit the family property also abound.
For example, Bao Yugang's four daughters, some descendants of South Korea's Samsung consortium, and American consortiums, and even the future of the mainland is the same.
If you really have a direction you like, then you should let them pursue their own lives, as a father, just give them enough living conditions, and rely on their preferences in everything.
Of course, things can't go to extremes, and it can't be that all the children don't want to inherit the family property, which is troublesome, but it's not very likely. He will also try to cultivate in this direction as much as possible.
Compared to having your own children, each of whom is a business genius, it may be better to be diverse, such as having artists, athletes, scientists, top doctors, etc., everything is okay, and you can live happily and happily.
However, this is also born in a rich family, so you have the right to choose, and most people do not have this condition.
"Then you have to work a little harder, and it's better to have seven or eight." Wu Xiuling pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's not enough, it's better to have a dozen, you see who is in Macau, how many descendants are there?" Chen Tianfu also said with a smile.
"You're getting outrageous." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, the more children the better, but it can't be compared with other gambling kings, how many wives people have, and because of the times, it is still legal.
If he Chen Zhiwen had crossed ten years earlier, he might have been able to do the same, but now it is obviously not possible.
The next day, Chen Zhiwen once again found two female gynecology and child doctors, lived at home, and just looked at the family, in fact, he didn't need it, but for the Chen family, this cost was not worth mentioning, and spending a little more could be regarded as having psychological security.
The time soon came to the middle of 1990, Liu Xiaoli's belly began to grow again, and she successfully passed several inspections without any problems, and the expected date of delivery was around December at the end of the year or around January next year.
On the other hand, after more than half a year of investment, Hutchison has also successfully laid the most basic mobile phone telecommunications coverage infrastructure in Hong Kong, and the whole Hong Kong has become the first batch of cities in the world that can make and receive calls. As Midea's old base, Midea's mobile phones are sold in Hong Kong, and they also have certain discounts, and naturally, they have gained the largest market share.
Hong Kong, Midea Building:
"Chen Sheng, this is the sales data of mobile phones in Hong Kong in the past six months, and in the whole of Hong Kong, almost 80,000 people have bought our mobile phones, accounting for more than 1% of the total population." Lei Shengli reported with a smile.
“1%?” Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "This is not bad, Hong Kong's economy in the past two years has indeed been much stronger than before." ”
Before the 80s, Hong Kong's economic level was actually not as good as that of many developed countries, and it could even be said that it was far worse, but after 85 years, when housing prices rose tenfold in 10 years, and per capita wages were seven or eight times higher, Western countries could not rise so much no matter how against the sky, and naturally, Hong Kong became the latest developed region in Asia.
Although the price cost of local labor has skyrocketed, such as the service industry, the transportation industry and even vegetables (which have manual transportation costs), some imported industrial products are very good, because the per capita income is high, and the imported industrial products are still the value of the designated production place and fixed brand, so the increase is very low, and the purchasing power will naturally go up.
At present, Hong Kong is still in the middle of the economic upswing and has not reached its peak, but in fact, the economy is not only looking at the value of the present, but the expectation of the future, the higher the expectation, the stronger the current consumption power. For example, if a person has a few houses, he judges that the house price will rise in the future, and his rental income will also rise, then he will definitely rest assured that he will carry out all kinds of high consumption, even if the loan is in advance, it doesn't matter, but if the house price reaches a stagnation trend, then even if the price is high, he will not dare to spend indiscriminately, unless he does not have any loans, but this situation is rare in Hong Kong, but where there is a little money, who will not take out more loans to buy a few houses and other appreciation.
"There are a lot of rich people in Hong Kong now, especially those who have a few houses, sea cucumber and abalone every day, how can they care about the money of a mobile phone, besides, with this mobile phone, their lives are really too convenient." Lei Shengli smiled and said: "Especially for many stock speculators, mobile phones are indispensable." ”
The price of the first generation of mobile phones is very expensive, and it costs more than 1,000 US dollars in Europe and the United States, but for many people in Hong Kong, it is worth it. Let's just say that those who speculate in stocks even copy foreign exchange and futures, many times, a news is late, the loss may be tens of thousands, in this case, there is a thing that can answer the phone with you, you must be willing to spend money.
"Well, this is our territory, so naturally we have to win the largest market, and we can also use the feedback here to properly optimize our technology." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
"That's fine, we already have that in place." Lei Shengli said: "In Europe and the United States, our mobile phones have also begun to sell, and the main channels at present are some channels between our own supermarkets and Galaxy trade, and there are not many sales points, because many cities have not opened this signal base station, and no one will buy a mobile phone without a base station." ”
"There are basically megacities in Europe and the United States, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.
"There are all these places, London, Berlin, Paris, these capitals or economically developed second-tier cities, basically covered, European and American telecom providers are not stupid, they can also see the future prospects of this industry, but the speed of construction, it must not be able to keep up with the mobile phone manufacturer's factory, the infrastructure of communication facilities, it is indeed very expensive." Lei Shengli said.
"Old Zhou, how is Hutchison's plan to build telecommunications facilities in Europe?" Chen Zhiwen looked at Zhou Jiayang, who had been listening to him and did not speak, although Hutchison was not involved in the manufacture of mobile phones, but he was involved in telecommunications facilities.
A long time ago, Chen Zhiwen gave Hutchison the positioning, that is, the development of infrastructure, the mainstream is to include domestic highways, ports around the world, power stations, gas facilities, transmission facilities, etc., but these are also the most basic infrastructure, in the era of science and technology, signal stations, will also become one of them, and water and electricity are equally important.
And this industry is a new industry, at this time, it is much easier to enter than other industries, which is similar to when the country is reopened, to invest in highways, except for a very few large cities, other places, basically let yourself choose.
If it is white European capital, it is okay to play big, even if it is big, it should be possible to join American nationality, but Chinese capital is absolutely not good. However, Europe is much less restrictive in this regard, as long as you follow the basic laws and regulations and don't make any small moves, that's fine.
In the original history, Li Jiacheng was in charge of Hutchison during the period, arranged for Hutchison to enter the field of communication infrastructure, and gained a firm foothold in Europe, forming the fifth largest telecommunications operator in the United Kingdom, Orange, and finally sold it at a price of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, becoming the most legendary business story in Hong Kong's business history, and even after this sale, telecommunications has still become one of Hutchison's largest businesses, and in the 21st century, many calling cards in Europe are still Li Jiacheng's telecommunications companies.
There is such a golden opportunity, Chen Zhiwen will naturally not let go, especially in the early days, although the operators of European countries have various advantages, but they are not bold enough, after all, no one can imagine how popular mobile phones will be in the future, how important, and their funds are also limited, and they are still operating in first-tier and quasi-first-tier cities in Europe, which gives them a chance.
"At present, we are still in the investigation, we will cover the first batch of 20 cities, involving a population of almost 15 million people, mainly in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and other most developed countries, and when this batch of construction is completed, we will enter the large cities in Eastern Europe and medium-sized cities in Western Europe according to the feedback effect." Zhou Jiayang replied.
"Okay, after the specific plan is decided, we will negotiate internally, and this time, we will also invest a large amount in Europe." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
The funds he earned in Japan before have been gradually imported into China, and the funds invested in Europe this time are partly the profits of his own branches, and the other part, especially when the funds needed more in the later stage, naturally come from a large amount of investment in Silicon Valley.
Although U.S. law has a 5% limit on foreign ownership of U.S. technology companies, because he knew that many large companies in the future, Chen Zhiwen used very little money to acquire the shares of many future giant companies, and some that could not be acquired, such as Cisco, waited for it to go public before acquiring it from the stock market.
In short, when each of the giants is 4.999% stock, the total value of these is also staggering, and at the same time, you must also count those non-technology companies that have no restrictions, such as Walmart, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Nike, and its own Costco, Disney and other listed companies. The sum of these total assets, not to mention the super tech bubble that will last a few years, is very valuable even today.
Although Chen Zhiwen estimates that there is a high probability that the United States will not do anything to damage its reputation in the free market because of this money, after all, this is not the same as Alstom, Huawei and other technology giants threatening the United States.
But if you can cash out some of them through indirect methods, it will be much safer, and at the same time, as a high-quality asset, it is a pity not to pledge it.
Therefore, starting this year, Chen Zhiwen began to arrange for these liquid stocks in the United States to be mortgaged, so that they can be used for investment, and they can also enjoy the continued appreciation of these stocks in the future, killing two birds with one stone.
Although it also belongs to Western countries, Europe is not a whole, not as strong as the United States, and it is naturally the most perfect match for Chinese people to invest in the field of communications.
