Ma Jing did not disappoint Lin Zhiyuan. Two days later, she sent information about two companies: one was called Nanfang Telecom and the other was called North China Computer Technology.

This was carefully selected by Ma Jing from the remaining seven profitable enterprises of the group.

The predecessor of Southern Communications was the Southern Post and Telecommunications Equipment Factory, which was established in August 1958 and the Southern Communications Venture Company was established in June 8.

Southern Communications is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of communication equipment and systems.

Since 1990, Southern Communications has introduced Motorola's advanced mobile communications technology and formed a business structure mainly based on mobile communications. The company is a leader in the mobile communications industry in China and has rich experience in wireless communications services, covering a full range of services such as network optimization, maintenance, engineering, design, software development, and ICT services.

Another company, North China Computer Technology Co., Ltd., was founded in 1987 by the North China Institute of Computing Technology and occupies a place in the domestic computer industry. The company has strong software capabilities, and its business covers software and information services as well as related products.

"Director Lin, although these two companies have some problems, if they are rectified, I believe they can still be listed."

"Good, Xiao Ma, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhiyuan has always admired Ma Jing. The information about the two companies she brought out this time was indeed carefully selected.

Lin Zhiyuan asked Liao Jinsheng to invite Pan Lide, the deputy general manager and chief engineer, over. "President Pan, please take a look at these two documents. These are selected by Director Ma of the Finance Department from the companies under our group. I plan to start the listing procedures for these two companies as soon as possible, but both companies currently have certain problems. I plan to give this task to you and ask Director Ma to cooperate with you to complete the rectification as soon as possible."

"Since Mr. Lin trusts me, I will take on this task." Pan Lide readily agreed.

North China Computer Science and Technology is located in Changshan, northern Hebei Province, and Southern Communications is located in Qiantang, Zhejiang Province.

After discussing with Ma Jing, Pan Lide decided to go to Changshan in northern Hebei first to help Huabei Jike solve the problems within the company and make preparations for listing, and then go to Qiantang in Zhejiang Province.

Just two days after Pan Lide and Ma Jing set off, Lin Zhiyuan unexpectedly received a call from Zheng Fei from Guowei Company.

Ever since Lin Zhiyuan helped Zheng Fei obtain the PHS production license, the two have not been in contact for more than a year.

"Mr. Lin, no, Director Lin, I was extremely busy recently. I only heard about your appointment as the chairman of Shenzhou Electronics Technology Group a few days ago. I feel really guilty for not being able to congratulate Director Lin in time..." Zheng Fei spoke enthusiastically, but Lin Zhiyuan could hear a hint of fatigue in his words.

"Mr. Zheng, let's not be polite. What's wrong with you? Did you just come back from abroad? Why do I feel that your voice is weak?"

Zheng Fei paused for a moment, "Director Lin, I'm outside the gate of your group now..."

Lin Zhiyuan immediately stood up and walked to the window, but unfortunately, from his angle, he could not see the scene outside the gate.

"Boss Zheng, wait a moment. I'll ask my assistant to pick you up."

A few minutes later, Liao Jinsheng brought Zheng Fei, who looked gloomy, back to the office.

Lin Zhiyuan was shocked when he saw his appearance, and hurriedly asked him to sit down on the sofa, "Mr. Zheng, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Zheng Fei smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "No need, I know my own situation well, Director Lin, this time I'm here to ask for help."

He raised his head, a pair of eyes gleaming with pleading light, "Director Lin, Guowei has encountered an unprecedented crisis this year, and I can't hold on any longer."

Lin Zhiyuan sat down hurriedly and put the teacup in Zheng Fei's hand. "Mr. Zheng, don't be anxious. Drink some tea and tell me slowly. What happened?"

In 2001, under the shadow of the Internet bubble crisis, global technology companies generally suffered, and Guowei was no exception. To make matters worse for Guowei, Zheng Fei's most important subordinate left Guowei last year and not only started to compete with Guowei this year, but also poached a large number of talents from his old employer.

Zheng Fei could only urgently launch a recruitment plan, hoping to quickly make up for the "lost" talent pool. At the same time, he maintained the established high growth targets despite the cold weather, thereby increasing expenditures and expanding overseas against the trend to maintain the company's rapid development.

However, to make matters worse, Zheng Fei concentrated all his resources on the research and development of 3G, but the development of 3G was slow. These factors made Guowei's cash flow face great challenges.

Zheng Fei realized that something was not right and prepared to sell his Guowei Electric in order to protect himself. Just two days ago, a company from Europe offered US$7.5 million and the two sides had already started negotiations, but Zheng Fei was reluctant to do so. Selling Guowei Electric would mean completely giving up the energy business.

After thinking for a few days, Zheng Fei thought of Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan is now the chairman of the largest electronic technology group in the country. If Lin Zhiyuan is willing to help him, Guowei will not only get funds, but also some implicit policy support.

Guowei is also an electronics company. In this industry, it has fought for more than ten years from weak to strong and is well aware of how important policies are in the domestic environment.

Not to mention anything else, the PHS production license that Lin Zhiyuan helped Guowei obtain last year has brought Guowei tens of millions of profits.

If China Electronics Technology Group Corporation can invest in Guowei, then Guowei will have a certain state-owned background, which will be beneficial to its future development.

Zheng Fei had made a careful calculation. He had rejected Gegang's investment twice because Gegang was an enterprise in the steel industry and could not provide any help to Guowei's development except financial support.

However, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation is the leader in the domestic electronic technology industry. Many standards for electronic equipment are established by government departments based on the suggestions of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, which is of vital importance to national maintenance.

First-rate companies set standards, second-rate companies build brands, and third-rate companies make products. There is nothing wrong with Guowei's current products, and its brand is also being established. If it can take advantage of the momentum of China Electronics Technology Group and participate in the formulation of standards, it will be crucial to Guowei's future development and allow Guowei to avoid many unnecessary mistakes in scientific research.

After listening to Zheng Fei's complaints, Lin Zhiyuan did not show a strong willingness to invest. He sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, as if thinking about something.

Zheng Fei's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Could it be that Mr. Lin no longer wanted to invest in Guowei? Did he see the current predicament of Guowei and decided to withdraw?
