Chapter 133
On the other end of the phone, a burst of laughter and Michael Corleone's magnetic voice rang out.
"Not bad lately. The family is on the right track, and business is going smoothly."
Ni Yongyao exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then said, "Michael, I wonder if you have any interest in the communication field?"
"Communication field? What exactly is it?"
Michael Corleone asked.
"Mobile phone business."
Ni Yongyao said.
"Mobile phones? This is high technology. The Corleone family hasn't dabbled in it yet, but I can see that technology is developing rapidly now. It must be a technological era in the future."
Michael Corleone said.
Ni Yongyao nodded, very much approving of the vision of this Corleone family godfather.
From the nineties to the twenty-first century, in just a few decades, with the advancement of technology, the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"There is an opportunity now that can allow the Corleone family to dabble in the communication field. It just depends on whether you want to do it, Michael."
Ni Yongyao said.
"Ni, don't keep me in suspense. Speak more clearly."
Michael Corleone's curiosity was piqued by Ni Yongyao.
Ni Yongyao smiled and said, "I have a communication company in Hong Kong. The mobile phone we recently developed has been launched, and the response has been quite good. People from Motorola found me, intending to cooperate with me to secure the overseas agency rights for the mobile phone. I agreed to them, but one of the conditions was that there must be a three-party cooperation.
For the American market, I would like to invite you to join. How about it, Michael, are you interested?"
"Ni, you're not joking, are you?"
After hearing Ni Yongyao's words, Michael Corleone asked hurriedly.
"You know I never joke."
Ni Yongyao said.
"So what you said is all true? Your new mobile phone actually made Motorola come to you for cooperation?"
Michael Corleone knew very well Motorola's status in the communication field. In 1991, it was no exaggeration to say that Motorola was the absolute hegemon.
And for such a large company to want to cooperate with Ni Yongyao made Michael Corleone feel like it was science fiction.
After all, just a few months ago, Michael Corleone had chatted with Ni Yongyao in person. He didn't expect that in such a short time, Ni Yongyao would have had such a big change.
"Ni, the Corleone family is definitely in on this business."
Michael Corleone said.
The Corleone family had dominated New York for many years, but they had always focused on traditional industries. Now that such a good opportunity was placed in front of him, Michael Corleone naturally agreed without hesitation.
Michael Corleone trusted Ni Yongyao very much, knowing that the latter would never trick him in such matters.
"Then if you have time, Michael, come to Hong Kong, and the three parties will sign the contract together."
Ni Yongyao said.
"No problem."
Michael Corleone agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Ni Yongyao looked at Charlie and said, "Now you can report to headquarters. A few days later, when the people from the Corleone family arrive in Hong Kong, we can officially start our cooperation."
"Yes, Mr. Ni."
Charlie nodded, feeling very surprised.
He didn't expect Ni Yongyao to have connections in America as well, and it was the Corleone family at that.
"This is our first cooperation, so I plan to test the waters in two countries first: one is America, and the other is Mao Xiong."
Ni Yongyao said.
"Mao Xiong? That place is not easy to handle, and those guys are very poor."
Charlie frowned and said.
The confrontation between America and the Mao Xiong Union had lasted for many years, and by now, it could basically be declared that Mao Xiong had completely failed, and the entire union was on the verge of collapse.
"You don't need to worry about that. My friend has extensive connections within Mao Xiong, enough to handle everything."
Ni Yongyao said.
As for Mao Xiong's consumption power, that was even less to be questioned. Although a considerable number of people were going hungry, there were also no shortage of people eating until their mouths were oily.
"Everything will be as Mr. Ni says."
Seeing Ni Yongyao's persistence, Charlie didn't say anything more. After all, he was the one asking for help now, and he couldn't speak with any strength.
Immediately, Ni Yongyao dialed another string of numbers.
For Mao Xiong, the person Ni Yongyao contacted was naturally the White Widow.
The White Widow came from an arms-dealing family, and her connections could be said to be spread throughout the Mao Xiong Union. Opening up the market for the Galaxy II was simple enough—at least much easier than selling arms and Mao Xiong assets.
The call was connected quickly.
"Nia, there is a business that needs your help."
Ni Yongyao said straight to the point.
Nia was the White Widow's real name, which Ni Yongyao had only learned after their relationship had become closer.
"What business?"
The White Widow's lazy voice rang out on the phone.
"A mobile phone. I plan to sell it in Mao Xiong. Besides you, there is also the Motorola company."
Ni Yongyao briefly explained the situation.
Without any surprise, the White Widow agreed directly. She would handle all the procedures in Mao Xiong, ensuring that the Galaxy II could enter the Mao Xiong market smoothly.
"You've helped me with the business, how are you going to thank me?"
After finishing the business, the White Widow switched back to her lazy tone and asked.
"When you come to Hong Kong, you will naturally know."
Ni Yongyao said calmly.
Although the White Widow, as a Mao Xiong person, had great stamina, compared to Ni Yongyao's physical fitness, she was far behind.
Ni Yongyao could easily bring the White Widow to heel.
"Then see you in Hong Kong."
The White Widow said and hung up the phone.
"The Mao Xiong market is also settled. Next, it depends on you."
Ni Yongyao looked at Charlie and said.
"Mr. Ni, rest assured, I will communicate with headquarters."
Charlie said.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
People from Motorola headquarters arrived in Hong Kong, and it was none other than CEO Morrison who came.
Michael Corleone and the White Widow also came to Hong Kong.
The contract was signed smoothly, and the final terms were set: Ni Yongyao only needed to provide the Galaxy II, and everything else was left to Motorola, the Corleone family, and the White Widow to handle.
And Ni Yongyao would take fifty percent of the profits from the sales.
This was still Ni Yongyao making concessions out of consideration for Michael Corleone and the White Widow; otherwise, according to custom, Ni Yongyao would have needed at least seventy percent to nod.
After the cooperation was established, a branch company would be set up in both America and Mao Xiong, with all three parties holding shares.
After this, the size of Galaxy Communications would expand rapidly.
Ni Yongyao expected that it wouldn't be long before Galaxy Communications would leap to become a top communication giant in Hong Kong.
On this day.
Ni Yongyao was enjoying a sunbath in the courtyard, with Fire Fox and Sophia's fingers kneading his legs.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
This was his mobile phone ringing.
After Ni Yongyao answered, a familiar voice rang out.
"Mr. Ni, I have already contacted General Songpa's arch-rival, General Barry. He agreed to help, but he needs you to take care of Songpa in a short time; otherwise, if the time drags on too long, he won't be able to suppress it either."
The Doctor said.
"Time is not an issue."
