"Sister Rong, don't worry, I will retain at least 20% of your original shares. I won't buy them out. Tianyu Langtong is your life's work. As I said, we are cooperating, not buying and selling."
Rong Xiuli shrugged: "You're the boss, you call the shots. But I'm really grateful that President Shen is willing to leave me 20%."
"If you want the horse to run, you have to give it plenty of grass."
Shen Fang only needed a controlling stake; giving Rong Xiuli the remaining 20% was intended to keep her in check. In business, one can't be greedy. Rong Xiuli isn't the type to be a mere employee. If Shen Fang acquired the entire company, all that would remain would be a piracy supply chain, which would be a liability to Shen Fang. He wanted more than just a supply chain; he needed a skilled sales and distribution team, and a leader with a broad perspective. Rong Xiuli's ability to build Tianyu Langtong into a 6 billion RMB company and make it the number one mobile phone seller in China demonstrates her talent. Talent is the most scarce resource in the 21st century!
"Sister Rong, what are your thoughts on the future of mobile phones?"
"It's only a matter of time before mobile phones become ubiquitous in China. They are a means of instant communication. Currently, mobile phones are expensive, and communication costs are also very high, but sales are increasing year by year. Why is that? Chinese people love to compare. If others have one and they don't, it will create a huge psychological gap for them. Moreover, everyone can see the benefits of mobile phones."
"You can carry it in your pocket anytime, anywhere, and call whoever you want. Whether it's for business, contacting family or friends, it's very convenient." (Regarding real estate, the only issue is that prices haven't come down yet. China has 1.3 billion people, which represents a huge user base for the mobile phone market.)
Shen Fang shook his head: "Sister Rong, you haven't gotten to the point yet."
"In the future, mobile phones will become miniature computers. The current mobile phones are just a primitive form. As 2G networks begin to enter mobile phones, they will gradually evolve into smartphones, and the final evolution will be a fully intelligent form."
Song Xiuli was stunned by what Shen Fang said. It wasn't that she didn't understand or comprehend, but rather, how many years would it take to achieve something like this? Actually, it's not her fault. The millennium was truly an era of explosive growth in science and technology for all mankind. In this era, science and technology for all mankind entered a period of ultra-fast development.
For those born in the 1990s, in particular, the power of technology is changing their lives and connecting them closely.
"Moreover, the first smartphone already existed abroad in 1993."
The smartphone was born in 1993. As an emerging technology, it has rapidly become popular worldwide and now occupies 20% of the wireless market. The first smartphone was the IBM Simon, which was also the world's first smartphone to use a touchscreen. It was manufactured by IBM in collaboration with BellSouth. As an emerging technology, it laid the foundation for subsequent smartphone processors and was a milestone.
"Mr. Shen, this kind of technology must be very difficult to popularize, right?"
Shen Fang shook his head: "It's not that difficult. It can be fully realized within 10 years. What I'm saying is, I want to create cutting-edge technology in China, not just sell mobile phones. I want to make Tianyu Langtong a representative product of high-tech mobile phones in China. I want to do R&D, branding, and marketing!
"I want more than just making money. I want to make Tianyu Langtong a national brand, a source of pride for the Chinese people, and let the whole world see the presence of Tianyu Langtong. How about it, Sister Rong? Do you share the same ambition to create a new era with me?"
To be honest, Rong Xiuli knew that Shen Fang was just making empty promises, but at this stage, Chinese people, especially the earliest entrepreneurs like them, actually hold such ideals and ambitions.
Rong Xiuli was a little overwhelmed and excited by the beautiful scene described by Shen Fang.
"President Shen, are we really sure we can do this?"
Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth: "Sister Rong, look at me. Remember this moment? Ten years from now, we'll still be here, fulfilling our promise from back then!!!"
Shen Kun, who was standing to the side, took out his camera and took a picture of Shen Fang exposing Rong Xiuli's shoulder. This was something Shen Fang would do after finishing a business deal. It was also a way for him to record his eventful life and, incidentally, to provide evidence for his autobiography later.
Shen Fang had planned from the very beginning to show off in the internet age. Right now, he's quietly making a fortune, and once he gets everything he wants, his life will be one of unparalleled glory!
