Chapter 367: The Cycle of Heavenly Dao

In this era, those who can make a name for themselves are all decisive people. After all, those who dare to throw away the iron rice bowl of a stable life and go to sea are all taking huge risks. Without determination and courage, they can't do it, and Wu Yaoguo is no exception.

The Dongfang Era Mall project is still under construction, and it is hard to say whether it is a success or a failure. Including the newly introduced New Oriental training institutions and IT training centers, it is also hard to say whether it is a profit or a loss in the future, but Wu Yaoguo is also willing to gamble.

What Wu Yaoguo is gambling on is not the Dongfang Era project, but Li Dongling. What he is gambling on is the person. Wu Yaoguo believes that sometimes gambling on projects is not as reliable as gambling on people. Different projects, done by different people, have completely different effects!

Not to mention, the IT training center also received support from a host of companies such as Fang Zheng, Kingsoft, and New Oriental. It is impossible for these companies to be blind together, right?

Investing in the IT training center together with these companies, even if it is a loss, can earn a few points of human favor. If this time doesn't work, there will be opportunities for cooperation next time. A sharp light flashed in Wu Yaoguo's eyes.

Li Dongling looked at Wu Yaoguo and thought for a while before saying, "Since Wu is interested, Dongfang Era Mall cannot refuse the kindness of the Provincial State Investment!"

The New Oriental Pingyang School and IT Training Center for English training, studying abroad, art training, college entrance examination review, and civil service examination training have a total investment of around 80 million.

This money is mainly for acquiring land, building school and training center buildings, purchasing computers and other office equipment, and hiring professional personnel, teaching talents, etc.!

"If Hanxi State Investment is willing, it can invest 25 million and can get 15% equity in New Oriental Pingyang School and IT Training Center!"

25 million in exchange for an IT training center that hasn't even grown a hair. These words came out of Li Dongling's mouth. If it were said by others, Wu Yaoguo would have no interest in listening, and would have flicked his sleeves and left long ago.

"Hanxi State Investment recognizes this investment!"

Wu Yaoguo didn't have any hesitation and said directly. Dongfang Era Mall is Li's project and is carried out under the banner of the Li family.

In name, the head and president of Dongfang Era Mall is Li Dongshan, but Li Dongling has put a lot of effort into this project. This trip to Yanjing didn't forget to pull projects for Dongfang Era. Li Dongling doing all this is less for Dongfang Era Mall and more for Li Dongshan.

Wu Yaoguo sees the relationship of the Li family in his eyes. If the Dongfang Era Mall project has problems one day, he can be sure that Li Dongling will take action. Therefore, the risk of investing in the Dongfang Era Mall project is far from as great as imagined. As for the unfinished project, as long as Dongling High-Tech hasn't fallen, then Dongfang Era Mall won't fall!

"Pingyang Municipal Government and Pingyang Education Department also support the establishment of Pingyang New Oriental and IT Training Center!" Yao Zhengru also expressed his stance.

Regarding the economic scale brought by English training, studying abroad, art training, college entrance examination review, and civil service examination training, as well as how much revenue and talent the establishment of the IT training center can bring to Pingyang, Yao Zhengru doesn't have a specific concept. In fact, the country hasn't paid special attention to this aspect yet.

But Yao Zhengru instinctively felt that these two projects, if left in Pingyang, might bring unexpected revenue. Of course, being able to have this feeling is mainly due to Li Dongling. This name has already become a golden signboard in Pingyang and Hanxi!

"Welcome to watch the *Super Girl* grand finale scene jointly created by Central Media Television, Hanxi Television, and Focus Media!

I am the host Cheng Qian. Now welcome judges Wei Wei, Cai Qin, Ke Yimin, and Mao Ning to enter..."

In a courtyard behind Dongling High-Tech headquarters, the voice of the number one variety show host in the country came from the LCD television in the living room.

Saying that Cheng Qian is now the number one variety show host with the highest popularity in the country, no one can refute it. The hottest variety shows in the country now, such as *Zhengda Variety* and *Happy Mobilization*, are all hosted by him. Now added to the *Super Girl* program, his fame has soared. It is rumored that the Spring Festival Gala, which will open in two or three months, has already booked him as the Spring Festival Gala host.

In the courtyard, the *Super Girl* grand finale competition was playing on the large LCD television in the living room. Taking off her professional suit, rarely not having to handle Feiyan Technology's affairs, with her hair casually coiled up and wearing casual clothes, Yao Luoying was lying comfortably on Li Dongling on the sofa, shaking her white and tender calves hanging under the sofa from time to time.

Yao Luoying ate a grape and stuffed one into Li Dongling's mouth from time to time. Li Dongling was looking at the computer on the table and writing and drawing in his notebook from time to time.

The laptop Li Dongling is using and the current LCD television don't have any brand or LOGO. They are products of Dongling High-Tech's technical department laboratory.

Now Dongling High-Tech hasn't entered the LCD television and laptop industry, but it is experimenting. Stones from other hills can be used to polish jade. The automotive industry also has a tape measure department.

Now the domestic automotive industry is still in the period of imitating overseas automotive brands. Basically, domestic automotive manufacturers take tape measures to measure foreign cars, but later, the tape measure department was inherited by Japanese automotive manufacturers, who took tape measures to measure domestic new energy vehicles at the auto show. It can only be said that the cycle of heavenly dao...

Now Dongling High-Tech's technical department also has projects developed in cooperation with companies such as Dongxin Semiconductor and Dongfang Optoelectronics. If costs are not counted, assembling an LCD television and a laptop can also be done.

Like the laptop Li Dongling is using now, it is a joint experimental product of Dongling High-Tech's technical department, Dongxin Semiconductor, and Dongfang Optoelectronics. The parts of the entire computer are basically manually polished by Dongling High-Tech's laboratory, or imported parts are modified, and then assembled and debugged.

The performance is not much worse than the top-tier laptops of companies like IBM, Dell, and HP, but this laptop is just an experimental product. The cost of making this laptop, as well as the manpower, material, and time costs spent, is enough to buy dozens of IBM computers, and it cannot be mass-produced at all.

Li Dongling ate a grape stuffed by Yao Luoying, his eyes looking at the documents on the computer and the notebook in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly from time to time.

At this time, Yao Luoying gave a light "eh," and the host on the television also shouted, welcoming the opening guest performer of the grand finale. Then, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the scene in the television, and Li Dongling raised his head to look at the television.

He impressively saw Leon Lai, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Xiangjiang, appearing on the stage. Now it belongs to Leon Lai's highest light moment, red throughout Asia. Xiangjiang media even rumored that no matter how red it is, it can't be redder than Leon Lai.

Being able to invite Leon Lai over, clearly as the organizer of *Super Girl*, Central Media and Focus Media have spent a lot of money.

"*Super Girl*, sing if you want to sing. Welcome everyone to continue watching the strong support for this program from brands such as Xiaolingtong mobile phones, Aido VCD, Chunlan air conditioners, Moutai liquor industry, Kelon refrigerators, IBM computers, Toyota Crown..."

After Leon Lai finished as a guest performer, Cheng Qian went on stage again, and then it was in a rap mode, saying a large pile of *Super Girl* advertising sponsors within tens of seconds.

There were also quite a few foreign brands here. Clearly, how influential *Super Girl* is now. Pingyang is not obvious yet. If you go to densely populated areas such as Yanjing, Hujiang, and Yangcheng, at this time, the streets outside are quieter than usual. Wherever there is a television, there is a large group of people watching today's grand finale. Saying it is an empty city is not an exaggeration.

After a large section of advertisements, the remaining three contestants appeared on the stage, competing for the championship. Li Dongling saw Shen Yunjun, whom he met at the airport, was also among them, and was standing in the C position.

Yao Luoying also said, "Isn't that Shen Yunjun the singer that the girl Dongyue likes? Will she become the champion today?!"

"Maybe!"

Li Dongling looked at Shen Yunjun on the television for a few times and said with a laugh.

Subsequently, Li Dongling put his gaze on the laptop again, and then wrote and drew on the paper again.

Li Dongling is considering the next step for Dongling High-Tech and its subsidiaries such as Feiyan Technology and Dongxin Semiconductor. Up to now, Dongling High-Tech has launched products such as Silver Mink mice, electronic pet machines, Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Xiaolingtong mobile phones, etc. Feiyan Technology has also launched products such as the popular mini radio.

Among these products, the electronic pet machine has been sold to Bandai, and the Silver Mink mouse has reached the second-generation optical mouse, also setting off a new trend in the mouse industry.

Shenzhou digital cordless phone revenue is stable. The hundreds of millions of users in old Europe, plus the new users in America, are enough for Shenzhou digital cordless phones to eat this cake for many years. It is expected to bring 1.7 billion US dollars in revenue to Dongling High-Tech this year.

As for Xiaolingtong mobile phones, they are still selling wildly, but now, with the launch of PHS phones from brands such as UTStarcom, BBK, Bird, and Panda, domestic Xiaolingtong mobile phones have entered the price war era.

Now, in order to increase sales, companies such as UTStarcom, Bird, and BBK are constantly lowering prices. The price of a PHS mobile phone from UTStarcom has approached 4,000 yuan. You know, at the end of last year, the selling price of a big brother phone was close to 10,000 yuan. You know how the mobile phone market is now.

For Xiaolingtong mobile phones under Dongling High-Tech, they are definitely affected, but Xiaolingtong is attacking overseas markets wildly. The Brazilian market, Siam, Malaysia, etc., have caused Xiaolingtong's overseas sales to soar.

Of course, according to the original agreement, companies such as UTStarcom, Bird, and BBK must give a share to the Xiaolingtong parent company Dongling High-Tech no matter how many PHS mobile phones they sell in the country. The more they sell, the more Dongling High-Tech earns.

Silver Mink mouse, Shenzhou digital cordless phone, and Xiaolingtong mobile phone have earned a large amount of revenue for Dongling High-Tech, but next year, whether Dongling High-Tech wants to launch any new products is something Li Dongling needs to consider!
