Video Game Empire - Chapter 632
After Li Xuan and Robert Allen met at this fundraising dinner at NYU, the Oriental Group soon began negotiating a partnership with a&! Two giant companies in the electronics industry, it is impossible for the business of both parties to have no competition!
The friction between Dongfang Group and a& company mainly stems from its subsidiary i. The two sides have been in the long-distance telephone market in recent years and have been conducting fierce market competition!
But since Dongfang Group became the largest shareholder of i Company, i Company’s business direction has been greatly adjusted. It began to put more energy on the emerging Internet and mobile communication market areas.
In this way, the competition between i company and a& in the traditional telephone market has appeared to ease! For a& company, his real nemesis in North America is actually the Northern Telecom Company located in Canada.
Nortel is the Canadian counterpart of a&! Both parties are century-old stores, and both have profound accumulation in the field of telephone communication market and basic telecommunication equipment. The similarity of the main business is also doomed that the contradiction between the two parties is almost irreconcilable!
The Eastern Group is different, it and a& are far from the point of needing your life and death! If a& company becomes an ally of the Oriental Group, although it still cannot avoid the challenge from i, at least in emerging fields such as interconnection and mobile communication, it can directly obtain the help of the Oriental Group.
The part of the interests it lost in the Oriental Group can completely be regained from other competitors such as Nortel! This is also one of the important reasons why a& is willing to cooperate with Dongfang Group!
After all, the reason why Li Xuan took control of i Company was to better promote the development of internet and mobile communication technology in the US market. And in this regard, the more powerful a& is actually a better helper than the i company!
As long as a& support can be obtained, the entire US telecom market will open the door to Li Xuan. And Motorola still opposes it in time, and it will not cause much trouble to Li Xuan.
Because it is only a telecommunications equipment supplier, not like a& also has the identity of a telecommunications service provider at the same time. What kind of mobile communication technology U.S. consumers use depends on which standard the telecommunications operator adopts.
As long as the Oriental Group can reach a tacit understanding with a&, Motorola can only join the da camp obediently unless Motorola is willing to give up the entire US market of new-generation mobile communication equipment!
Just as Li Xuan stepped up to win over a& company, the restrictions on da at the US policy level began to change!
The White House officially announced that Mr. Ronino, one of the five current commissioners, will not be re-elected after his term ends. President Bush will renominate South Carolina Democrat Richard Brown as the new commissioner.
Major American media did not pay much attention to this latest appointment by the White House. The focus of everyone’s recent attention has been on hot topics such as the tax reform dispute between the president and the Congress and the new civil-rights bill.
Li Xuan contributed a lot to Richard Brown’s nomination by Bush Sr. But in fact, Li Xuan and the new commissioner had never had any contact before.
But not long ago, Li Xuan got acquainted with Senator Hollins, the current chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, under the introduction of Bradmas. It is directly accountable to the U.S. Congress by f’s statutes.
The House of Representatives is responsible for docking with the Energy and Commerce Committee, while the Senate is the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee chaired by Hollins.
Dingell, the current chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is one of the main opponents of the da standard entering the United States. Li Xuan wants to balance the voices from the parliament, and the best choice is naturally to obtain the support of the Senate.
And Richard Brown’s appointment of Commissioner F was one of the bargaining chips that Li Xuan gave in order to gain Hollins’ support. Hollins had been South Carolina’s governor since 1959, and then ran for the Carolina Senate in 1966.
Hollins was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1967 and has worked on Capitol Hill for more than two decades. He is one of the most senior Democrats in the Senate, not inferior to Dingle in terms of seniority.
But compared to Dingle, who has run the House Energy and Commerce Committee for a decade, Hollins’ biggest weakness is that he didn’t chair the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee until 1987.
In the three years that Hollins has served as chairman, f has been changed to two commissioners. But both are Republican seats, and the Democrats don’t have much right to interfere. So in fact, he has not had time to expand his influence in f.
And Li Xuan just gave Hollins a chance to install his own people in f, and the two naturally hit it off. Brown is Hollins’ fellow countryman in South Carolina~www.mtlnovel.com~ After entering f, he will naturally become the da standard, the most staunch supporter and promoter in the United States!
These political games hidden in the shadows will naturally not be known to ordinary voters. Of course, those insiders with a keen sense of smell can still feel the changes in the climate.
First of all, f’s attitude towards da has become more and more ambiguous! Some people who were originally staunchly opposed to da stopped speaking up. For example, Dingle, a senior member of the House of Representatives, Li Xuan taught the other party a lesson this time.
The Rodino Commissioner who was kicked out of F was one of Dingle’s supporters. And his influence on f will be increasingly challenged by Hollins from the Senate in the future!
After his own rights were threatened, the Dingle Congressman’s attitude towards the Eastern Bloc had to undergo a huge change. Because he has changed from the strong side to the weak side now. Li Xuan now has enough means and capital to play with him slowly!
Of course, Li Xuan didn’t really need to form a deadly feud with a senior congressman. After he swung a big stick, he naturally wouldn’t forget to give him a sweet date. For example, spend one million dollars to support Dingle’s re-election campaign for the House of Representatives, and make the other party a friend of the Eastern Bloc.
Li Xuan has been in the United States for nearly two months since he went to Austin to participate in the Global Internet Conference, and finally made a breakthrough in the implementation of the da standard in the United States.
The matter here has come to an end, and it is time for Li Xuan to return to Hong Kong! After all, he lit a fire before he left, and he always had to go back and clean up the mess himself!
