With the old man's support, Bai Ziyu became bolder.
He let Feng Wanlin go and turned to talk to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, let me tell you, the electronics and communications industry has a very bright future. If you can get in early and make plans now, you can make a lot of money in just a few years."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but glance at the seemingly carefree young master a few more times.
He's right. In a few years, China's electronics industry will enter a phase of rapid development. At that time, all kinds of electronic products will be available throughout the country. During this period, pagers alone will enjoy a period of more than ten years of high profits. Next, mobile phones and computers will become the next emerging industries to sweep the globe.
This guy has such insight; just based on that, he's not as incompetent as he seems on the surface.
As expected of a general's son; none of them born into such a family are simple.
Bai Zhenxuan shook his head and said to his grandson.
“Ziyu, what your father said makes sense. Although I usually dote on you, I know all too well what kind of person you were when you were in school. You say you want to work on such high-tech gadgets, who in the family can feel at ease?”
The old man took a bite of food and continued speaking.
"I've heard of pagers and even seen them. They've had them in Shanghai for a long time, but the infrastructure they require is enormous. It's not that our province doesn't want to develop them, it's just that we don't have the conditions yet. Nobody knows how this thing will develop in the future, and the investment will definitely be a huge amount. Do you have the capability?"
These words left Bai Ziyu speechless. If he had that financial ability, would he need to discuss it with his family?
At this moment, Xiao Weiguo stood up.
"Old Bai, Uncle Bai, I have some thoughts to share about Brother Ziyu's idea. I wonder if you two would be willing to listen to my opinion?"
All eyes at the table were on him.
Bai Ziyu, in particular, couldn't understand what Xiao Weiguo, who had no connection to her, was trying to say.
Bai Zhenxuan then spoke slowly.
“Young friend, just say what you have to say. As a businessman, you must see things more clearly than we do. You can help us persuade this kid.”
Xiao Weiguo shook his head and smiled.
“Grandpa Bai, I’m not trying to persuade Brother Ziyu on your behalf. On the contrary, I personally support his views.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Shaoxiong immediately stood up, his face filled with disbelief.
"Support? You support this kid's idea?"
Not only him, but even Bai Ziyu himself was a little surprised.
Did this kid come to our house just to curry favor with Grandpa? Why is he contradicting the old man now?
Xiao Weiguo's words surprised him and immediately piqued his interest. Bai Ziyu remained silent, folded his arms and leaned on the table, watching Xiao Weiguo with great interest to see what else he could say.
Xiao Weiguo smiled and addressed everyone.
"Precisely because I am a businessman, I have to focus more on the future and judge the changes in future trends. This is a basic quality of a businessman. If you can't even do this, then I can say that you will never become a successful businessman."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"As Brother Ziyu just said, the electronics and communications industry has a very bright future. As long as we can start planning ahead, we can make a lot of money in just a few years. In my opinion, he is absolutely right."
Bai Ziyu finally heard someone support him, and his face was filled with excitement.
However, Xiao Weiguo's next words made his face darken.
"However, his words were too one-sided and too general, so people couldn't understand them."
"Then what brilliant ideas do you have? Tell us about them."
Bai Ziyu, feeling insulted, couldn't help but chime in.
Xiao Weiguo glanced at him and smiled.
"I wouldn't presume to offer any profound insights, but I can share my perspective. The world is developing, and our Dragon Country is developing at an even faster pace. With the current methods of communication, it will be difficult to meet the various needs of people's lives in the future."
"From a business perspective, an efficient communication system enables companies to quickly transmit information and issue instructions. If there are further communication options available, they will certainly receive strong support."
Pagers can not only achieve this, but also play a significant role in enhancing emergency response speed and improving service efficiency in daily life, education, healthcare, and public services.
In conclusion, the further development of the communications industry is of vital importance to all aspects of the economy and society, and is a significant force driving the development of modern society.
"As far as I know, some developed countries abroad have already manufactured pagers, computers, and even mobile phones. This trend will soon affect our Dragon Country. Therefore, now is an excellent time to invest in the communications industry. Brother Ziyu's vision is far ahead of its time, which I admire."
Xiao Weiguo spoke eloquently, but he forgot to give Bai Ziyu a word of affirmation.
These words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, even citing advanced foreign equipment, making it difficult for others not to believe them.
Bai Zhenxuan was the first to express his admiration.
“Young friend, it’s truly remarkable that you have such a long-term vision at such a young age. No wonder you’ve built such a large business.”
"Ziyu, you should learn from Weiguo in the future. You must learn to be down-to-earth and stand firm before you can look to the future."
Bai Ziyu, being a man of strong emotions, had already been convinced by Xiao Weiguo's words. After listening to his grandfather, he stood up with his wine glass in hand.
"Xiao Weiguo, right? I'll acknowledge you as my brother. I won't say anything more, I'll do it."
