The rise of rice actually started with the Canton Fair in southern China.
To be on the safe side, they asked around, just in case it was true.
ZTE sent people to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Hong Kong businessmen who commissioned them to process telephones, to find out what kind of company Huahong Group was.
You won't believe it until you look it up, and what you find will shock you.
Wah Hung is very well-known in Hong Kong, holding controlling stakes in a listed bank and a listed telecommunications company.
Recently, they formed a joint venture with Luzhong Automobile Company.
Other companies are not related, but the businesses of China Telecom and ZTE are complementary!
Therefore, ZTE's factory director Hou took it seriously.
Back at the factory, I organized a meeting to share what I had learned with everyone.
I almost missed out on a job. I take any job, no matter how big or small, as long as it's offered.
Factory Director Hou arranged his family affairs, instructing several deputies to look after the house, while he, along with the office director and sales manager, went to Hong Kong to discuss business.
The office manager is busy or running around for passes, so the finance department tries to help them exchange H coins.
The sales manager is preparing a catalog of all ZTE's current products, and has been memorizing all the product data during this period.
It's really putting the sales manager in a difficult position. I should have advised the factory manager to bring the chief engineer along; that guy's head is full of data.
The three of them passed through smoothly, but they didn't have much money and it was difficult to get a taxi. They decided to take the shuttle bus to the final stop and figure it out later.
You can take a shuttle bus to Kowloon Island.
After going around in circles and asking around, we finally found the place that night.
Meetings can only be scheduled for the next day. First, I need to find a cheap place to stay, but then I have to go through all that trouble finding accommodation – there aren't any cheap hotels around here!
Finally, the three of them gritted their teeth and booked a standard room before settling in.
The next day, Xing Baohua did not go to Huahong, but to Haina. Only when his secretary told Xing Baohua that someone from ZTE had come did he invite Haina over.
When Director Hou and his colleagues saw the Haina sign, they thought they had come to the wrong place. Upon seeing Xing Baohua, they smiled and said, "We didn't expect Haina to be one of Boss Xing's businesses. When we first came in, we thought we were in the wrong place."
"I'm sorry, I had some official business here today and didn't go upstairs. Actually, it's all the same." Xing Baohua smiled and invited the other person to sit down, then began to fiddle with the Kung Fu tea on the table.
Southerners enjoy these activities and are also very particular about tea.
Xing Baohua poured water, offered a cigarette, and then asked ZTE, "Can you do relay stations?"
"Sure!" Director Hou immediately replied.
The sales manager opened his mouth, but then helplessly fell silent.
At this time, ZTE was just starting to tinker with small switches. Most of its business was producing IC chips and assembling telephone orders from Hong Kong companies.
Factory Director Hou blurted out that he could produce relay stations, but he probably doesn't even know what those things are for!
However, Factory Director Hou said, "Factory Director Xing, are you doing processing with supplied materials, or are you having us assemble them?"
"This?" Xing Baohua was also a little stunned. She didn't know what to say.
"Here's the thing, Nokia is responsible for the construction of Huahong Telecom's signal towers. They provided the wireless antenna technology and relay station interconnection technology. I'd like to know if your company can take over their work."
As soon as Xing Baohua finished speaking, Factory Director Hou quickly replied, "Yes, give me a Nokia sample and some more time, and we can replicate it in no time."
