Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing

His purpose in making this appointment was simply to achieve a few things.

Alternatively, they could graciously grant the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) service to the telephone company.

Alternatively, they might ask you to cancel your PHS (Personal Handyphone System) subscription, claiming it's fair competition.

There is even a possibility that Jiang Tiansheng will acquire their telephone company.

As for which one it is, we'll have to discuss it when we meet with the other party this afternoon.

That afternoon, at 1 p.m., Jiang Tiansheng met Aldridge at the Fanling Golf Course.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Upon seeing Jiang Tiansheng, Aldridge greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Aldrich."

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"please"

Aldridge invited Jiang Tiansheng to enter the stadium together: "I booked the entire stadium this afternoon just to welcome Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Aldrich, this is really too much for me to handle," Jiang Tiansheng replied with a laugh.

"Mr. Jiang is joking. If you can't bear it, others can't bear it either," Aldrich said with a smile after giving Jiang Tiansheng a deep look.

While they were talking, the two also played a few rounds of golf.

Jiang Tiansheng wasn't interested in golf; he just played around with it casually.

“Mr. Jiang, I don’t think we need to become rivals.”

During the break, Aldrich looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a serious expression and spoke.

Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng remained silent, Aldrich continued, "If Mr. Jiang is willing, we can absolutely achieve a win-win situation."

"tell me the story."

Jiang Tiansheng put down the towel and looked at the other person.

He wanted to hear what kind of win-win solution the other party had in mind.

“Mr. Jiang, I can give you the entire telephone market in Hong Kong. If you want, I can even sell you a telephone company at a low price,” Aldrich said earnestly.

Jiang Tiansheng knew that the main event was about to begin, and the other party wouldn't have said that for no reason.

Then, Aldrich said with a serious expression, "However, I hope you can grant me exclusive overseas authorization for Xiaolingtong."

"Exclusive overseas authorization for Xiaolingtong?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Aldridge.

"Yes."

Aldridge nodded, a hint of excitement in his voice, and said, "Mr. Jiang, as long as you grant me the exclusive overseas license for Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service), I guarantee that the Hong Kong telephone company will not compete with Mr. Jiang's Tiansheng Telecom."

Furthermore, if Mr. Jiang is willing, I can even sell the telephone company to Tiansheng Telecom at a low price.

“Mr. Aldrich, if I may ask, do you think Tiansheng Telecom needs your telephone company’s permission?” Jiang Tiansheng looked at Aldrich and sneered.

"Competition? What makes you, a telephone company, capable of competing with me?"

Don't be ridiculous, the telephone company has been utterly defeated by Jiang Tiansheng.

We could be at risk of bankruptcy, and now you're talking to me about competition?

Acquisition?

Sorry, Jiang Tiansheng didn't think much of the telephone company and didn't see any need to acquire it.

Everything that's old should be torn down and started from scratch. There's no need to spend money to acquire the other party; it's unnecessary.

“Mr. Jiang, don’t forget, Hong Kong is still British territory.” Aldrich looked at Jiang Tiansheng with confidence and said slowly, “If I wanted, someone would come to inspect your telecommunications company every three days, do you understand?”

At that point, a series of measures, such as failing fire safety standards or tax loopholes, will be taken to hinder the company's development.

"Mr. Aldrich, do you have family?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at the other person calmly.

"What do you mean?"

Aldridge frowned.

"I just want to know, Mr. Aldrich, do you love your wife, your two sons, and your three daughters?" Jiang Tiansheng said, then suddenly remembered, "Oh, and your two mistresses too..."

"Jiang Tiansheng, what do you want to do?"

Aldridge panicked and stood up, questioning Jiang Tiansheng: "Are you threatening me?"

"Intimidation?"

Jiang Tiansheng sneered and looked at Aldridge, saying, "It seems like you were the one who threatened me first." As he spoke, he wiped his hands with a towel and casually put it aside.

“Aldrich, if you want to talk business with me, then let’s talk properly. If you want to play dirty tricks, don’t worry, I can be even dirtier than you.” Jiang Tiansheng stood up and walked up to the other party.

Aldridge's imposing manner was intimidated by Jiang Tiansheng, and he slumped into his chair, where Jiang Tiansheng looked down at him with a condescending gaze.

"Your so-called foreign identity is utter bullshit in my eyes, understand?"

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he prepared to turn and leave.

Before deciding to meet the other party, Jiang Tiansheng had already sent people to investigate some of their information.

One should always be wary of others; who knows what they might do?

As expected, his decision was correct.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Jiang Tiansheng was about to leave, Aldrich's voice rang out behind him.

"Is something wrong?"

Jiang Tiansheng stopped and turned to look at the other person.

“Mr. Jiang, I sincerely apologize for what happened just now,” Aldrich said, bowing slightly before rising to say, “Now, let’s talk about real cooperation, shall we?”

"tell me the story."

"Mr. Jiang, I'll say it again, I hope to obtain authorization for Xiaolingtong overseas," Aldrich hurriedly explained after finishing his sentence.

"However, Mr. Jiang, please don't misunderstand. What I mean is that we can actually cooperate to develop overseas markets."

Forgive my bluntness, but Tiansheng Telecom has been established for too short a time and has no resources or foundation overseas. Mr. Jiang, you already know the difficulties involved in making Tiansheng Telecom go global.

Indeed, Tiansheng Telecom was established too recently, had no partners or foundation outside, and lacked its own network of contacts.

Let alone overseas markets, even the markets in Taiwan and Macau require considerable effort to enter.

“I’ve had people research it, and the technology behind the Little Smart phone isn’t actually that advanced,” Aldrich continued. “If some ambitious companies were to disassemble and study it, they could mass-produce it in less than six months. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?”

"You're right."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded without refuting.

Indeed, the technology involved in PHS phones was not very advanced. Once a sample was obtained, research and development could begin, and mass production could be achieved in six months, or at most a year.

"Therefore, the next six months to a year is the main period for PHS to expand and capture the market."

“Mr. Jiang, if you are willing to authorize me, our cooperation will definitely allow us to capture a large share of the market before other companies can react,” Aldrich said confidently.

First, he is white; second, Aldrich has extensive connections. If the two cooperate, Xiaolingtong will quickly dominate the market.

"Tell me your terms."

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Aldrich and asked.

“I will set up a company, and Mr. Jiang will hold 20% of the shares in the company on the condition that the Xiaolingtong license is granted. Then, for every Xiaolingtong sold, he will be paid a reward of HK$3000.” Aldrich looked at Jiang Tiansheng and said with a serious expression.

“Mr. Jiang, 20% of the shares is already a lot. This company needs more than just me; it needs many other people to participate.”

"Let me be honest with you, Mr. Jiang, I only own 15% of the shares in this company."

Originally, Aldrich's initial plan was to obtain Jiang Tiansheng's authorization through threats and intimidation.

They didn't give Jiang Tiansheng any shares, only the cost of his PHS phone. A PHS phone cost between HKD and HKD, and the rest was his.

But clearly, his plan wouldn't work, so the only option was fair cooperation.

"Okay, I agree."

After careful consideration, Jiang Tiansheng finally nodded.

Without Aldridge's involvement, Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't have paid attention to overseas markets; after all, he couldn't reach them and had no choice but to give up.

Now, of course, we should earn as much as we can.

Putting aside the issue of shares, the HK$3000 mobile phone alone was enough for Jiang Tiansheng to make a fortune.

If we can sell 100 million PHS phones, that would be 300 billion in revenue.

Of course, that's not realistic either.

After all, in this day and age, only a minority of people can afford a mobile phone.

However, Jiang Tiansheng estimates that the global market is worth at least 100 billion yuan, and even with only a 30% profit margin, that would still be 30 billion yuan.

"If that's the case, this company will definitely become a behemoth by then."

Jiang Tiansheng suddenly realized how high the market value could be for a telephone company with tens of millions of customers.

Hundreds of billions? Or hundreds of billions?

Of course, it will be calculated in US dollars.

Unfortunately, Jiang Tiansheng can only hold a maximum of 20% of the shares in this new company.

He understands.

Such a large-scale business operation could not have been managed by Aldrich alone; there must have been a lot of capital involved behind the scenes.

Jiang Tiansheng is still very weak.

"Mr. Jiang, I believe that years from now, when people look back on today, they will find that this was absolutely the greatest collaboration in human history," Aldrich said excitedly upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's agreement.

Exaggerated descriptions have always been a specialty of foreigners.

"hope so."

Jiang Tiansheng shook hands with Aldridge, and then the two parted ways.

After Aldridge returns, his first task is to report to the investors behind him, then establish a company, and finally finalize the cooperation.

This series of actions will take at least three days.

"Gao Cheng, expand the factory and hire more people for me."

On the way back, Jiang Tiansheng made a phone call to Gao Cheng.

The current production speed of PHS phones is too slow. Once the new company is established, the production speed will definitely not be able to keep up.

Expanding production is essential.

To put it simply, daily production must exceed 10,000 units, and this is just a preliminary estimate; production will definitely need to be expanded further in the future.

Currently, daily production is only a little over a thousand units, meaning that production needs to be increased at least tenfold.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tiansheng began to think about moving the factory to a different location.

The current factory is located in Tsuen Wan District, which is a very limited location, especially if the factory needs to expand, the limitations will be even greater.

“The outlying islands area is not bad. After the international airport is built in the future, factories can be built here, and transportation will be convenient. But it’s not good now. The transportation is really inconvenient.” Jiang Tiansheng shook his head and mentioned the outlying islands area.

"Tuen Mun has excellent land prices and a great location, and the transportation is also good, but..."
