Silicon Valley

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 Cisco and planned to build a Sino-US submarine optical cable. Therefore, I think the time has come for Cisco to enter the Chinese market!"

Henry was stunned for a moment, then pondered.

In the previous life, Cisco entered China, but it failed. Lessons from the past, not to be missed!

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 "Zi". How could China hand over the initiative of network equipment, which involves national security information, to Cisco?

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 in a different way!"

John Chambers did not speak, and waited quietly 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, let alone network equipment that involves national information security. Therefore, we must adopt a roundabout strategy. First, Cisco takes technology as a stake. , invest in a Chinese company. Second, set up a venture capital offshore company to invest in Chinese companies. With the two-pronged approach, we can get a controlling stake in a Chinese company. Of course, in order to hide from the public, the venture capital offshore company is exposed. Admiral will be a Hong Kong company, you know, in 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, mainland China and Hong Kong are one, and we control mainland Chinese companies through a Hong Kong company, which can reduce the hostility of the Chinese!”

John Chambers nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, according to what you said, Chairman, it does make sense!"

Henry said: "Well, I will personally go to Hong Kong and set up an investment company there. At the same time, I will also look 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 for the chairman to live!"

"Well, that's it." After Henry finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

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

Huawei has started to independently develop and commercialize PBX technology for hotels and small enterprises, and PBX is a program-controlled switch. In other words, Huawei already has a certain switch technology. However, for now, regardless of scale and technology, compared with Cisco, it is like the difference between Firefly and Haoyue!

However, Henry knew that, relying on China's huge market, Warwick developed rapidly, and even later, it would counterattack the United States, and was ready to stage a drama of **~Silk counterattacking Gao Fushuai! However, the United States has set up barriers to China's telecom equipment companies under the pretext of security, and Huawei has been unable to enter the huge US market...

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

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

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

The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing 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, and they naturally know about Henry's stay at the Peninsula Hotel. After receiving the news that Henry was going to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, the Kadoorie family prepared a top-level suite and arranged for a Rolls-Royce team transfer!

When Henry arrived at the door of the hotel, Lawrence 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 an old man with white hair standing at the front. Henry had seen this man in the photo and knew that he was Lawrence Kadoorie, who was nearly 91 years old. The Kadoorie family took it to the top and became one of the richest families in Hong Kong!

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

Henry did not expect that the 91-year-old Lawrence Kadoorie would come to pick him up in person. He was a little surprised, he stepped forward quickly, supported the old man, smiled slightly, and said hello to him: "Hello, Mr. Lawrence Kadoorie. I have heard of your deeds as early as in the United States, and I really admire it!"

The Kadoorie family made a fortune in Shanghai, and its industries involved electric power, hotels, real estate, trade, finance, cable cars 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 Lawrence Kadoorie, the Chunghwa Electric Power Company and the Peninsula Hotel were rebuilt. In particular, Chunghwa Electric Power Co., Ltd., its business has developed very rapidly, and its assets have increased exponentially. It soon became one of the top ten listed companies with the highest market value in Hong Kong! ! !

Up to now, the Kadoorie family mainly controls two major group companies, Chunghwa Electric Power and The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotel!

In fact, The Peninsula Hong Kong is only one of the subsidiaries of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotel. The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotel also owns The Peninsula Hotel in New York, The Peninsula Hotel in Chicago, The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, The Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok, and The Peninsula Hotel in Beijing. The Peninsula Manila, The Peninsula Tokyo, The Peninsula Shanghai, and more…

"Mr. Williams is really a prize..." Lawrence Kadoorie said modestly. 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 tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in wealth, but this young man has accumulated nearly 100 billion dollars in wealth in just a few years. I don't know, I'm ashamed when I compare...

What's more, Henry Williams' surname is Williams, and the richest person in the "Forbes Rich List" is actually called William the Great. If it doesn't matter, who will believe it? Powerful people can inquire that "Forbes" can't get information on the shareholders members of the Internet giant company, so it deliberately created a William the Great, the purpose of which is to point the finger at Henry Williams! According to reliable information, Henry Williams has connections with major Internet giants, and it seems that the CEOs of major companies are bowing their heads to him... And what does this back mean, can't you guess? ? ? (Please recommend and collect!!! The author has built a book group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join...)
