The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Minister Wu really treated Lin Zhiyuan as his own son or nephew, and he advised him earnestly for a long time, "Zhiyuan, this is not how you should be an official. If this investment is successful, everyone will be happy, and the group will have a new profit growth point, but it will not be of much benefit to you personally. But if it fails, you will be the first person responsible."

Minister Wu's words came from the bottom of his heart, and no one else would say the same thing.

Lin Zhiyuan was really touched.

However, he still chose to continue the acquisition. As a reborn person, he knew how big the market developed by smartphones was.

In the past, fruit companies have earned more than 200 billion US dollars solely from smartphones. To put it bluntly, this is a money printing machine that runs 24 hours a day.

Compared with the revenue of more than 200 billion US dollars, what is a 200 million US dollar acquisition?

He was absolutely sure.

"Minister, I have made up my mind. This is a golden opportunity for Dongtian Electronics and the entire China Electronics Technology Group. I must seize it. I will return to China immediately and explain the reasons to all the leaders in person." Lin Zhiyuan made a decision immediately.

The next day, he left the two people from the Finance Department at Bingfeng Securities to continue their studies and returned to China with only Liao Jinsheng.

On the plane, Liao Jinsheng hesitated to speak several times. He is no longer the arrogant boy who dared to say anything two months ago. Working as Lin Zhiyuan's assistant for more than a month has taught him to be cautious in what he says and does.

Lin Zhiyuan saw that Liao Jinsheng wanted to say something, "Xiao Liao, do you want to tell me something?"

After Lin Zhiyuan's encouragement, Liao Jinsheng dared to speak, "Director Lin, I talked to Director Yuan on the phone last night. Even Director Yuan didn't understand why you had to acquire Newark Company?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and did not directly answer the question. Instead, he talked about the past, "Xiao Liao, do you know the origin of the Music Garden?"

"I know. It was you, Mr. Lin, who overcame all objections and the Music Garden product was born. Dongtian Electronics Company was also revived as a result." This is Lin Zhiyuan's great achievement, and everyone in the entire China Electronics Group knows about it.

Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand. "But you know, I first proposed the concept of Music Garden not at Dongtian Electronics Company, but at Limited Company. In 1999, Limited Company was the leader among the subordinate enterprises, and the eight small factories of Dongtian Electronics could not compare with Limited Company in terms of personnel or technology."

Liao Jinsheng also knew about this. The current union chairman of the group, Li Hongquan, was the general manager of the limited company at that time. In every public occasion, Li Hongquan would always slap his thigh to show his regret, causing the entire group headquarters to know this old story very clearly. "Chairman Li always said that it was his blindness that led to the missed opportunity of Music Garden, which benefited Dongtian Electronics."

At this point, Liao Jinsheng roughly understood what Lin Zhiyuan meant. "Mr. Lin, are you saying that the opportunity of smartphones is just like the music garden, and we can't miss it?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly, which surprised Liao Jinsheng. Did he guess wrong?

"Xiao Liao, Music Garden and smartphones are simply incomparable. Whether in terms of technical content or future profitability, the two are worlds apart. Music Garden is, after all, just a music player. It has no technical difficulty and is very easy to copy. Its target audience is just music lovers. But smartphones are different. Smartphones are a rigid demand in the future. Almost everyone will have one. In the near future, without a smartphone, it is almost impossible to move forward. Let me tell you this, Xiao Liao, the future smartphone market will be worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. I'm talking about US dollars."

Liao Jinsheng's mouth opened wide. He really didn't believe what Lin Zhiyuan said. It's just a mobile phone. Is it that magical?

Anyway, the journey was long and Lin Zhiyuan had nothing else to do, so he patiently described to Liao Jinsheng the uses of mobile phones in the future.

Lin Zhiyuan was just truthfully narrating some daily scenes of mobile phone applications in his previous life, but to Liao Jinsheng, he thought it was Lin Zhiyuan's imagination.

"Xiao Liao, you have been to General Magic Company and have seen their products. Their products are very crude and can only perform very simple functions, such as sending and receiving emails, processing documents, and surfing the Internet. But if this machine integrates the multimedia functions of the Music Garden and the Movie Forest, and can listen to music and watch videos, what would you think?"

Liao Jinsheng suddenly became excited. "Mr. Lin, I think I understand. The two functions you mentioned are not difficult to implement. If this is really possible, this phone will definitely be very popular."

"Not only that, the smartphone of the future will be a small mobile computer that can realize many functions, such as browsing the web, installing various small programs with specific functions, and using the Internet, we can use the mobile phone to book hotels, buy air tickets, trade stocks, shop and even pay with the mobile phone. Let's put it this way, the mobile phone of the future can include most of the functions in our lives. What do you think the market prospects of such an electronic product will be?"

Liao Jinsheng also studied electronic information. He was stunned by Lin Zhiyuan's words, but at the same time he was impressed by Lin Zhiyuan's imagination.

"Director Lin, can what you said really be realized? Are the hardware facilities capable of putting so many functions into a small phone?"

"This requires us to continuously improve our current hardware. Aren't our lithography machines already capable of producing 45-nanometer chips? Once the technologies for LCD screens, batteries and other accessories are up to par, the smartphone I mentioned will definitely not be a dream. Of course, this will take time, maybe two years, maybe three years, but I firmly believe that smartphones will be developed."

It takes sixteen hours to fly from New York to Yanjing. By the time he got off the plane, Liao Jincheng became the first person besides Lin Zhiyuan to firmly support the development of smartphones.

Zhao Hongyu drove to pick up Lin Zhiyuan, "Director Lin, are you going home now?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. "I'm not going home. I'm going to the large-scale work committee."

The Large-Scale Workers' Committee is a functional department that manages large state-owned enterprises directly under the central government. Major investments of enterprises are one of the important contents of their supervision. If Lin Zhiyuan wants to acquire Newark Company, he must obtain the consent of the Large-Scale Workers' Committee.

Lin Zhiyuan was very anxious. He wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, so he tried his best to seize the time to persuade his leader.

Among these leaders, Li Zhenshan was naturally ranked first. Lin Zhiyuan had worked with him for many years and understood his temperament.

The car drove directly from the airport to the Large-Scale Working Committee. Lin Zhiyuan got off the car and went directly to Li Zhenshan's office. He and Li Zhenshan talked until five o'clock when they got off work. When he walked out of the office building of the Large-Scale Working Committee, Liao Jinsheng carefully observed Lin Zhiyuan's expression. When he saw the smile on Director Lin's mouth, Liao Jinsheng knew that Director Lin had convinced Director Li.
