With Iron-fist Zhu's help, Feng Yu got a Hong Kong passport on the third day. At the same time, Feng Yu's Hua Xia passport was still in his possession.
After getting the passport, Feng Yu contacted the US government and flew to New York with a few people.
The last time he came to the US, he was with Pfizer. This time, Feng Yu will be staying in the US for a longer period of time. The US economy was now growing rapidly. Although the highest growth rate was less than 4%, and the average growth rate was around 3%. But because of the large base, the growth rate was still very fast.
The US was not full of gold now, but there were plenty of opportunities. Also, this was the period of the rise of the US high-tech industries. Telecommunication, PC, IT, Bioengineering, software, etc., would replace the US traditional manufacturing industries and become the engine of the US economy.
Feng Yu had come to Hua Xia to focus on 3 areas. PC, software, and telecommunication. These were the industries that he wanted to promote in Hua Xia.
There was no need to talk about communication. From pagers, they would gradually transition to mobile phones. After 99 years, the SMSC high-speed SMS processing system would appear, and the processing speed of SMS would reach 500 messages per second. This would also defeat pagers, and the pagers would be on the path of decline.
Feng Yu's plan for Aiwa Electronics was to introduce Aiwa brand and Wind and Rain brand mobile phones in 1997. After that, the production lines will be revamped and the pager production equipment will be replaced within 1 to 2 years. Within 3 years, the production of pagers will be stopped.
Many people in Aiwa Electronics could not understand this decision. They felt pagers could still be popular for at least 10 years. They should continue to increase their production and continue to produce pagers. Why did they want to withdraw from the market so soon?
Feng Yu had told them that mobile phones' SMS services will defeat pagers. But they did not believe him. Because the current SMSC system could only process 10 messages per second, it would cause a serious delay in messages. The SMS function was not as good as the pager function.
However, they did not expect that the development of SMS would be so fast. In the future, it would reach a processing speed of 16,000 messages per second, and SMS would become the most popular mobile service for mobile users. This was because SMS was cheaper than the cost, about the same as the cost of a pager, but it was much more convenient.
Feng Yu told Aiwa Electronics' staff that this was an order and not a discussion. Feng Yu was the controlling shareholder. As long as the company's decision was not against the law, he could make the decision alone. He could ignore the opinions of other shareholders.
The PC industry was handed over to Lenovo. Lenovo had done a good job in controlling their cost, and China had imposed high tariffs on imported electronic products. This year will be the best opportunity for Lenovo to unify the Chinese market.
And soon, it would be the period of rapid development of the computer industry. Microsoft's Win95 operating system will be launched soon.
This system was the main reason for the rapid popularization of computers. Simple, convenient, fast, and easy to use. People only need to click on the mouse to complete most of the operations. Even the elderly and children can use computers now. At the same time, Microsoft will introduce Internet Explorer to speed up the development of the internet.
This was an opportunity that Lenovo must not miss. Although it was not easy for Lenovo to become a world-class PC company, it should not be a problem for them to dominate the Hua Xia market.
Lenovo had already signed contracts with many companies for their hardware, and they could also produce some non-core components in China. With Lenovo's Chinese manufacturing capabilities, this year would be the peak of Hua Xia's PC sales!
This is a good opportunity, and Feng Yu must let Lenovo grasp it. Luckily, Liu Chuanzhi agreed with Lenovo. He also felt it was time to start the price war.
Lenovo in this life was different from Feng Yu's previous life. In Feng Yu's previous life, Lenovo had raised funds by getting listed in Hong Kong. But in this life, Feng Yu had invested in Lenovo, and Feng Yu stopped Lenovo from getting listed in Hong Kong.
Feng Yu asked Lenovo to wait for a while more. Even if Lenovo wanted to get listed, the best option now was to get listed in the US. Both NYSE and NASDAQ were good, and Hong Kong's stock market was not doing well.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Lenovo was listed in Hong Kong for a few years, and then it was delisted. Feng Yu does not want this to happen again. Delisting would affect the confidence of the investors.
Anyway, Feng Yu was against Lenovo's shares being diluted. Unless Lenovo allows Feng Yu to buy a portion of the shares first and then get listed. This way, Feng Yu's shares will not be diluted, and Feng Yu will support him fully.
Lenovo was also working hard to develop its software, and Feng Yu had given Liu Chuanzhi some pointers. Kingsoft was the leader of China's software industry in Feng Yu's previous life. Kingsoft had been set up a long time ago, and there were many talented people in the company.
If Lenovo could acquire Kingsoft, then they would be able to use both software and hardware at the same time. They could even run fast!
Liu Chuanzhi also knew about Kingsoft. They were famous in Hua Xia's software industry, but they were not the best software company in China.
The best software company in China was Rui Xing. But with the government's backing, Feng Yu does not recommend acquiring Kingsoft. Liu Chuanzhi had wanted to merge Rui Xing into Kingsoft, but Feng Yu stopped him.
Rui Xing was a good company, but once they merged with Kingsoft, Lenovo's shareholding reform would fail. Rui Xing's background was too powerful. It was powerful enough to swallow Lenovo.
Kingsoft was still better. Their technologies were also very good, and they did not have a strong background. After all, it was easy to swallow Kingsoft. Also, Kingsoft had always been the world's leader when it came to translating software into Chinese.
In terms of operating systems, no one could catch up to Microsoft. Feng Yu also did not expect to spend a lot of money to develop an operating system that was better than Win95.
But it was very important for Microsoft to translate Win95 into Chinese. Microsoft still does not provide other versions of their operating systems. They only have an English version.
If it was an English version, it would be troublesome for Hua Xia to introduce it into Chinese. Feng Yu remembered in his previous life, Kingsoft was also the one who translated Microsoft's operating system into Chinese.
But Kingsoft cracked Microsoft's operating system and distributed it for free. In the end, they were sued by Microsoft. After losing the lawsuit, many people left Microsoft to start their own companies. But Kingsoft took a different approach. They started with mobile phone operating systems and set up Da Mi mobile phones. Kingsoft's boss, Lei Jun, also became famous again!
Feng Yu wants to copy the US's current direction of development to Hua Xia. Feng Yu wants to do better than the US. He wants Hua Xia's companies to swallow up US companies. For example, web browsers, forums, etc., Feng Yu will be one step ahead.
Now, Feng Yu was just a scout.
