Chapter 218: Key Directions

Zhou Ming left the Ministry of Commerce Building and returned to the State Telecommunications Building. When he pushed open the door of his office, he was stunned for a moment, because the current core leadership of companies such as Limous, Antonio and Valentine were all here. When they heard the sound of opening the door, they all turned around and looked at Zhou Ming in unison. Obviously, they were all looking forward to Zhou Ming's result.?

Faced with their expectations, Zhou Ming was not at ease and said directly: "I'm afraid I don't bring any good news. According to the market norms established by the Ministry of Commerce just now, we cannot use any of our current business methods in competition with Mexican telecom companies."

"What about them?" Valentine asked anxiously.

"They are not subject to any restrictions." Zhou Ming replied.

Although they had already prepared before, they still couldn't accept Zhou Ming's answer now.

"So simply put, they can send sales staff to attract customers on the streets, lower their tariff standards at will, and can also utter any irresponsible rumors against us, or even continue their fucking behavior of leaving the National Telecommunications compensation, but are we not allowed to do this right?" Antonio asked.

Zhou Ming directly answered him for this question, but this answer undoubtedly made them even more angry.

"Are we going to Satan's forbidden paradise? Or are we all Indians two hundred years ago fighting against the colonists, but didn't this drama end two hundred years ago? And I'm very sure I also have noble Spanish ancestry, how could they be so blatantly favoring Mexican telecommunications companies?"

"If I think Mexico's so-called market-oriented reform is simply a big joke, because there has never been such a despicable partiality in Mexico's history, and there is no fairness at all. This is very disgusting and despicable. With the actions of the Ministry of Commerce, in the next general election, I will definitely not vote for the institutional party again!"

Zhou Ming clapped his hands and signaled everyone to quiet: "I think what we need now is not these simple complaints and abuses. At least we have guessed it long ago, right? So, it may be more important to do our own things well than this."

Antonio and Valentine were both awakened by Zhou Ming's words. Zhou Ming said very satisfied: "Then now you all report on their work progress."

Zhou Ming sat down while talking. Limus and Antonio took out the documents they had prepared long ago to report to Zhou Ming.

In fact, there is not much new content in these reports. After all, the tasks assigned by Zhou Ming only focus on zero-yuan machine purchase and the upgrade and transformation of the route, and these two tasks are not a problem for them.

In the report of Limous and Antonio, the upgrade and renovation of the line went very smoothly, while the zero-yuan machine purchase was a bit unsatisfactory.

After hearing this, Zhou Ming said: "This is normal. After all, we and Mexican Telecom use the same communication network. Of course, they will be happy to do the smooth progress of our line upgrade and transformation. The situation of the zero-yuan machine purchase project in a competitive position is completely opposite."

With Zhou Ming's words, everyone looked sad because they all thought of Abeto's intention to do this, just to turn the State Telecom into their line builder. When they try their best to upgrade and renovate all communication lines, they can pick up ready-made ones directly. Don't think about any business customers or zero-yuan machine purchase projects.

Everyone clenched their fists and cursed Abeto's shamelessness, but then Zhou Ming's words made them raise their heads again.

"So since we understand their ideas, we have to make some adjustments," said Zhou Ming. "First, the upgrade and renovation project of all communication lines."

Antonio pricked his ears because this was the project he was in charge of now.

"The national route upgrade and renovation scope is too large, and our situation is not suitable for such a large-scale project, so our comprehensive renovation project can be adjusted to a key renovation. Simply put, we will first renovate the Mexico City route." Zhou Ming looked at Antonio and asked him, "I need to adjust immediately. Are there any problems?"

Antonio answered with no questions with certainty, and then Zhou Ming said to Limus: "As for the zero-yuan machine purchase project, if it is just the current competition, we are at a disadvantage compared to Mexican Telecom, so we must immediately introduce updated phones and mobile phone models."

Limus also nodded and said: "At present, the technical department is communicating with the communication product manufacturing company in the United States and proofreading the signal frequency according to your requirements of the chairman. As of today, the preliminary contact has ended. According to the news feedback from the United States, representatives of their major communication product manufacturers will come to Mexico in the near future."

"This is very good news." Zhou Ming said happily, "I will talk to them in person at that time."

Finally, Zhou Ming remembered something again: "By the way, there is also the bank. I think we will need more loans to complete these things. In addition, perhaps based on the zero-yuan machine purchase activity, we can also provide new machine replacement contracts for our old customers."

So under Zhou Ming's idea, the State Telecom Company once again invited ten foreign banks including Tangren Bank and Fenghui Bank. The heads of these banks also agreed very happily, and all came to the State Telecom Building the next morning.

Facing the heads of these banks, Zhou Ming personally invited them into the conference room. After they arrived, Zhou Ming said, "Thank you very much for your arrival first. Secondly, I have very important things to discuss with you today. I believe you all know the Ministry of Commerce about establishing communications industry norms, right?"

The ten people in charge nodded together, obviously they were not ignorant, especially Douglas of Fenghui Bank also said: "I think this so-called norm must be very unfriendly to Mr. Zhou Ming and the State Telecommunications Company, right?"

Zhou Ming admitted very happily: "Mr. Douglas is so polite. I can tell you clearly that this so-called market norm is not simply unfriendly. It is just to suppress the State Telecom."

Then Zhou Ming told the Ministry of Commerce's "standards" of the communications industry in full. The ten bank leaders were stunned after hearing this. This was not how amazing the "standards" were. In fact, they could all guess the restrictions on the Ministry of Commerce on state telecommunications. What they were surprised was that Zhou Ming actually dared to say all this directly.

"I have to say, Chairman Zhou Ming, your courage is really admirable!" The Mexican president of Tangren Bank exclaimed.

After all, generally speaking, when a company faces investors and is preparing to ask for loans from banks, it will try every means to cover up its loopholes and try hard to brag about its own benefits. Almost no one will confess to the bank that it is in trouble, because that is equivalent to digging its own grave.

Zhou Ming said to this: "I don't think this is courage. I just simply think there is no need to hide it. Moreover, more importantly, this is the reason why I need a loan."

All ten bankers were stunned at first, then laughed.

"Please be honest. Although we all admire your courage, Chairman Zhou Ming, this does not mean that we will definitely give you the loan." said Mantis of Citibank.

Zhou Ming said seriously: "So please allow me to emphasize again. This is not a gift, but an extremely valuable investment."

The ten bankers looked at each other, and it was obvious that they didn't understand what the value of Zhou Ming's investment was.

For this reason, Zhou Ming continued to explain: "The value of investment is still in the entire Mexican market. Because Mexican Telecommunications Company and the Ministry of Commerce did a very stupid thing, and the subsequent decision of President Abeto further deepened this stupidity, making them lose the only opportunity to occupy the market."

"The entire Mexico has a population of nearly 100 million, and Mexico City alone has a population of more than 20 million. This will be a market with great potential. As long as it can open one tenth, it will be a huge wealth..."

Before Zhou Ming could finish his speech, Douglas interrupted him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, I think I have to interrupt you. Although your idea is very great, it is obviously not compatible with the current situation. At least for now, your National Telecom does not have any advantage when facing Mexican Telecom."

"You can't see it, that's because you have short-sighted eyes!" Zhou Ming said.

This tit-for-tat almost made Douglas furious. Just kidding, he is a member of the core family of Fenghui Bank. Although he is not the most direct member, he is also very capable at least to be the head of Mexico. Even the Mexican president has to be polite when he sees him, but he didn't expect that he would be ridiculed here for short-sightedness. How could he not make him crazy?

But of course there was no movement in the end, because he remembered the possible identity behind Zhou Ming, and then he suppressed his anger.

Seeing him so quiet, Zhou Ming continued to explain to him: "Actually, short-sightedness is not scolding you. After all, the layout in Mexico is too big, and it is understandable that ordinary people can't see through it. As long as you can continue to provide me with loans. On the one hand, my loan is for upgrading and renovating communication lines in Mexico City, and on the other hand, it is for our customers to provide new contracts."

Ten bankers stared at Zhou Ming blankly, not understanding what he meant.

Zhou Ming finally said: "I can tell you another news. I have contacted the American communications product company before and have achieved very good results. They have sent representatives to Mexico and are expected to arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
