When the voice of America was booming, Cisco CEO John Chambers called Henry.
"Chairman, China is a big country with a population of 1.3 billion, and the future market is huge! A week ago, China came to Cisco and planned to build a Sino US submarine optical cable. So, I think it's time for Cisco to enter the Chinese market! "
Henry was stunned at first, then meditated.
In the past, Cisco entered China and failed in the end. We must learn from the past!
Henry was Chinese in his previous life. How could he not understand the situation in China?
As an American company, Cisco's surname is "Zi". How can China give Cisco the initiative of network equipment related to national security information?
There's no doubt that no matter how good Cisco's technology is, it won't work.
Henry thought for a while, and finally replied, "Cisco can enter China, but we need to change the way!"
John Chambers did not speak and waited quietly.
After a pause, Henry said: "China's national conditions are different from those of European and American countries. It can be said that China is highly exclusive, let alone the network equipment related to national information security. Therefore, we must take a circuitous strategy. First, Cisco invests in a Chinese enterprise with technology. Second, set up a venture capital offshore company to invest in Chinese enterprises. By doing both, we can get control of Chinese enterprises. Chinese Chinese mainland and Hongkong are one of the companies that we will know in 1997. Hongkong will return to China. We can hold Chinese mainland companies through Hongkong companies, so that we can reduce the hostility of Chinese people, "he said." in order to deceive the public, Hongkong will be a Hongkong company.
John Chambers nodded with approval and said, "yes, according to the chairman, it's really reasonable!"
Henry said, "well, I'll go to Hong Kong myself and set up an investment company there. At the same time, we are looking for a Chinese network equipment company that Cisco needs to invest in
"Well, before the chairman goes to Hong Kong, I'll ask the branch in Hong Kong to arrange a place for the chairman to live."
"Well, that's it." Henry finished and hung up.
Henry poured himself a glass of red wine, then shook his glass and murmured, "target, Warwick..."
At present, Warwick company has begun to independently develop and commercialize PBX technology for hotels and small enterprises, and PBX is a program-controlled exchange. In other words, Warwick has a certain switch technology. However, for the moment, compared with Cisco in terms of scale and technology, it's like the difference between firefly and Haoyue!
However, Henry knows that Warwick is developing rapidly relying on China's huge market, and even later it has to attack the United States, ready to stage the big play of "going against Gao Fu Shuai"! However, the United States has set up a barrier against China's telecom equipment enterprises under the pretext of security, and Warwick has not been able to enter the huge U.S. market
Although China is xenophobic, so is the United States.
Henry understood the truth and would not make mistakes. Since China will definitely crack down on foreign telecom equipment companies, it will support Warwick company and realize absolute control through various means, so as to separate the company's management right and ownership. The company's management right belongs to China, but the company's ownership belongs to Cisco. The stronger Warwick is, the stronger Cisco will be. Cisco will be able to earn huge profits from Warwick!

Ten days later, Henry arrived at the Hong Kong airport and drove to the peninsula hotel.
Peninsula Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Hong Kong. It is also one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and even in the world! At present, the peninsula hotel is owned and operated by the British Jewish Kadoorie family. They naturally know the news of Henry staying in the peninsula hotel. After receiving the news that Henry is going to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, the Kadoorie family has prepared the top suite and arranged the transfer of Rolls Royce team!
When Henry arrived at the door of the hotel, the leader of the Kadoorie family, Roland Kadoorie, had been waiting with a group of people.
When Henry got out of the car, he saw a white haired old man standing in the front. Henry had seen this man in the photo and knew that he was Roland Kadoorie, who was nearly 91 years old. It was under his leadership that he brought the Kadoorie family to the top and became one of the Hong Kong aristocrats!
"Welcome to Mr. Williams!" Roland Kadoorie said with a smile to Henry, followed by several lines of people behind him.
Henry didn't expect that Roland Kadoorie, 91, would come to meet him in person. He was a little surprised. He quickly stepped forward, helped the old man and said hello to him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Roland Kadoorie! I've heard about you since I was in the United States. I really admire you
The Kadoorie family has made its fortune in Shanghai. Its industries include electric power, hotel, real estate, trade, finance, cable car and so on. But because of World War II, the Kadoorie family suffered a heavy blow, and the family industry was at a low ebb. Finally, under the leadership of Roland Kadoorie, China Power Corporation and Peninsula Hotel will be rebuilt. In particular, China power company, whose business is developing rapidly and its assets are increasing exponentially, will soon become one of the top ten listed companies with the highest market value in Hong Kong!!!
Up to now, Kadoorie family mainly controls two group companies, China power and Hong Kong Shanghai hotel!
As a matter of fact, the peninsula hotel is only one of the subsidiaries of the Hong Kong and Shanghai hotel. The peninsula hotel in Hong Kong and Shanghai also has the peninsula hotel in New York, the peninsula hotel in Chicago, the peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills, the peninsula hotel in Bangkok, the peninsula hotel in Beijing, the half Island Hotel in Manila, the peninsula hotel in Tokyo, the peninsula hotel in Shanghai and so on
"Mr. Williams is so flattering..." said Roland Gardiner humbly. Maybe he could be proud in front of others, but he couldn't be proud in front of Henry. It took the whole Kadoorie family several decades to accumulate tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, it took this young man only a few years to accumulate nearly 100 billion US dollars. No, I don't know. I'm ashamed when I compare
What's more, the surname of Henry Williams is Williams, and the first richest person on the Forbes rich list is William the great. If it doesn't matter, who believes? The powerful people can find out that Forbes can't get the information of the shareholders of the Internet giant, so it deliberately made a William the great, whose purpose is to point the spearhead at Henry Williams! According to reliable information, Henry Williams has connections with all the big Internet companies. It seems that CEOs of all the big companies are obedient to him... But what does this back mean?
