Meng Weiguo was a soldier for many years and was very familiar with the strategy of "rural areas surrounding cities". In a disadvantaged situation, based on the specific situation of China, he first took the rural route to accumulate strength and then planned for the urban market. This was his

The basic route was determined after realizing that the weak Weihua company could not compete head-on with foreign communication giants.

In 1992, the situation of Weihua Company was not optimistic.

Yao Yuan believes that the rural route is correct, which is beyond Meng Weiguo's expectation. Most people currently believe that China's main consumer base is in cities, even small cities, which are much better than rural areas. Meng Weiguo went against all opinions.

The rural route strategy was finalized, but its implementation was very difficult.

Meng Weiguo has spent all his wealth on research and development, but he can still see the dawn of victory.

From 1992 to early 1993, it can be said to be the Long March period of Weihua Company.

After Yao Yuan affirmed Meng Weiguo's strategic decision, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of China's reform and opening up policy?"

This problem is very broad.

But in the early 1990s, there were only two answers to this question: yes or no.

After the end of the honeymoon period between China and the United States, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the imposition of sanctions on China by Western countries such as the United States, most people are pessimistic about the opening-up policy and China's future economic development.

From 1990 to 1992, the rapid decline in foreign trade is the best proof.

Meng Weiguo pondered for a while and said firmly, "Reform and opening up is a correct and great economic strategic decision. Our economic development in China will definitely be on the fast track. The current difficulties are only temporary."

"What's the basis?" Yao Yuan asked.

Meng Weiguo said, "We have the largest population and the most diligent and intelligent people. From the perspective of the electronic communications industry alone, no country will ignore the Chinese market. Ericsson, Panasonic, Nokia and other international communications giants are so firmly established in China

Development is actually enough to explain the problem."

"Mr. Yao, the current ideological confusion is only temporary. In the future, more and more people will see the direction clearly. Our Chinese economy will definitely take off. I have no doubt about it."

He was not born again.

Yao Yuan nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "I have several communication companies in Eastern Europe. I want to integrate them and cooperate with Weihua Company as an industrial entity, and I will invest 50 million within a year."

Seeing that Meng Weiguo was about to speak, Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Listen to me. I will not interfere with your management. The management of the company is in your hands, but if you want to sell Weihua Company, you must go through me."

consent."

Meng Weiguo was silent, he was going to refuse.

His ideal is to build a Chinese company that masters electronic communications and new technologies, rather than a company that purely pursues economic interests.

However, Yao Yuan's promise can be said to have given him all the rights, except for changing the owner of the company.

"As you just said, China is a huge market. I don't want foreigners to make our money, and I don't want the core of communication technology to be in the hands of others. Let's formulate a five-year plan, the first five-year plan.

It must be ensured that no less than 10 billion funds are invested in technology research and development.”

Yao Yuan said extremely seriously, "My idea is that even if we don't make money for ten or twenty years, we must do our best to ensure that technology research and development continues rapidly. I will give you the greatest authority."

Meng Weiguo was shocked by such a large-scale effort. Tens of billions of funds were invested in research and development. You can imagine what kind of changes it can cause.

Moreover, Meng Weiguo attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. In the current difficult situation of Weihua Company, he is already preparing to set up an office responsible for intellectual property rights. This is also the future for Weihua Company to establish a patent fortress to integrate the new generation of communication technology.

The reason for taking it firmly into your own hands to set industry standards.

At this time, Lin Xiaohu added, "Mr. Meng, Mr. Yao is talking about US dollars."

"Huh?" Meng Weiguo didn't respond.

Lin Xiaohu said, "If you agree, Mr. Yao will invest 50 million U.S. dollars this year and 10 billion U.S. dollars in technology research and development in the first five-year plan. Mr. Yao hopes that before the advent of the 21st century,

, Weihua’s technical level can catch up with the world’s forefront.”

"Ten billion dollars?" Meng Weiguo stared at Yao Yuan with wide eyes, not believing it at all.

What international joke are you kidding? Last year, China’s entire country’s foreign exchange reserves were only 3 billion US dollars!

Lin Xiaohu took out a cashier's check and placed it in front of Meng Weiguo, "A cashier's check that can be exchanged at any time, fifty million U.S. dollars. Mr. Yao's Southern Industrial is registered with the national foreign exchange administration department, and the company's foreign exchange account is

There are more than one billion US dollars, Mr. Meng, as long as you bring it up, we can go to the capital to verify it at any time."

Meng Weiguo slowly picked up the cashier's check and looked at it carefully.

A cashier's check is not a check, which requires confirmation before it can be redeemed, but a cashier's check is payable on sight, no matter who is in the hand.

BNP Paribas is a bank that mainlanders have almost never heard of, but Meng Weiguo is not an ignorant person. He knows that this is the largest bank in France and has a strong reputation.

If he knew that Yao Yuan held 7% of the bank's shares and was likely to participate in the bank's privatization next year, he would probably suspect that Yao Yuan had run away from a mental hospital.

Lin Xiaohu handed another stack of prepared copies to Meng Weiguo.

Yao Yuan pointed to the pile of information and said, "I acquired Nangang Bank a few days ago, and it has now been renamed Hong Kong United Bank. Does Mr. Meng know about the rise in Shenzhen Development Bank's stock some time ago?"

"Everyone in the city knows that the government rescued the market. I also bought some Shenzhen Development Bank stocks. I thought I was stuck, but I didn't expect to make money." Meng Weiguo calmed down and said.

Yao Yuan smiled and asked, "Did you sell it?"

"Sold, I don't like stock trading, the stock market is too empty." Meng Weiguo said.

It fits his character very well. Weihua Company has never considered going public, which has a lot to do with Meng Weiguo's personal character.

"That's right." Yao Yuan said, "It was the Shenzhen Municipal Government and I who jointly rescued the market. Now I am the largest shareholder of Shenzhen Development Bank, with absolute control. If you are confident in the economic development of China, then you must also be confident in the economic development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

, I will understand that you are full of confidence in the development of Shenzhen Development Bank."

After a pause, he continued, "So, funds are not a problem, but I am worried that the speed of your spending cannot keep up with the speed of capital investment."

Meng Weiguo nodded slightly and read all the copies. The information that can prove what Yao Yuan said, including the situation of foreign exchange accounts, the situation of United Bank and Shenzhen Development Bank, is very sufficient. This cannot be made up by scammers because they are very professional.

.

Yao Yuan knew that Meng Weiguo didn't care whether the controlling rights were in his hands, but he had to have the final say on how the company developed. This was also the reason why Weihua Company later became an employee-owned enterprise model.

"I will go to Moscow in two days. I wonder if you are interested in going with me?" Yao Yuan invited me.

Meng Weiguo has his ideals and ambitions for Weihua Company and will not easily agree to cooperate with Yao Yuan.

Historically, at this time next year, Meng Weiguo should also go to Moscow to explore new markets.

After some deliberation, Meng Weiguo said, "If it's not troublesome, I'd like to take a look."

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "As for cooperation matters, think about it slowly. The trip to Moscow is not an additional condition."
