195: Chapter 195 Construction

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Kai looked at the bustling construction site, then checked the live stream comments and online discussions on his phone; the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He knew that Tianxing's 5G era had truly arrived.

Meanwhile, in a five-star hotel in Magic City, the CEO of Ericsson watched the CCTV live broadcast and said to his assistant with a grave expression:

"Go contact the people from Tianxing again. Tell them we are willing to accept any conditions, as long as we can meet President Chen. Even if we have to wait a few more days, it's fine."

The assistant nodded hurriedly and said:

"Understood, CEO. I'll contact them immediately. However, Tianxing said that President Chen is very busy lately and isn't seeing visitors for the time being."

"Then keep waiting!"

The CEO of Ericsson said anxiously:

"We can't afford to waste time. Tianxing's 5G project has already started. If we don't get the authorization soon, we'll be completely phased out of the market!"

Beside him, the CEO of Samsung also sighed and said:

"We shouldn't have suppressed Huaxia Technology back then. Now look at us; the initiative is entirely in Tianxing's hands, and we're at their mercy."

The CEO of Qualcomm chimed in from the side:

"Indeed. Forget a ten-billion-dollar authorization fee; even if it's higher, we have to agree. Without 5G authorization, our phones and communication equipment simply won't sell."

The group went back and forth, sighing in despair, yet they were utterly helpless.

They knew very well that Tianxing Group had never been something they could easily manipulate. To survive, they had to swallow their pride and beg for cooperation.

Meanwhile, the online fervor continued:

#Zhang Kai Responds to Overseas Cooperation#

#Tianxing 5G Officially Commences#

#5G Closed Beta Countdown#

These topics dominated the top ten trending searches, with readership numbers skyrocketing.

"Help! Seeing those overseas giants going crazy with anxiety is so satisfying!"

"President Chen's move is brilliant. Leaving them hanging lets them know who's really the boss!"

"Is anyone else like me, camping in the live stream every day just to watch the progress of the base station construction?"

"Go Tianxing! Build the base stations soon and start the public beta. I can't wait to experience 5G!"

"We used to envy foreign technology; now, it's their turn to envy us. This is the rise of Huaxia Technology!"

In the top-floor office, Chen Mo picked up the blueprint on his desk and lightly tapped a spot on the pilot city map with his fingertip.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was just the first step. Next would be the closed beta, public beta, full-scale popularization, and the screening of overseas partners—all to be taken one step at a time.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The Head of the Technology Department pushed the door open and reported to Chen Mo:

"President Chen, good news! Our 5G core equipment has passed its final debugging. Once the base stations are built, we can go straight into closed beta testing. The test data is even better than expected!"

Chen Mo looked up at the Head of the Technology Department and said with a smile:

"Very good. Keep a close eye on the closed beta preparations to ensure everything goes smoothly. There can be no mistakes."

"Also, arrange the screening for public beta users as soon as possible so that people across the country can experience the power of 5G soon."

"Understood, President Chen! We're already prepared. The screening criteria have been set to ensure coverage across different age groups and professions for comprehensive feedback."

The Head of the Technology Department nodded in response.

"Go on then, time is of the essence."

Chen Mo waved his hand, and the head of the department turned and left the office.

Online, the live stream continued, and comments kept flooding the screen. The netizens' enthusiasm hadn't waned at all; everyone was looking forward to the early completion of the 5G base stations and the arrival of China's 5G era.

Meanwhile, the anxiety of the overseas giants continued to escalate. They knew time was running out. To get the 5G authorization, they had to cast aside all pride and bow to Chen Mo and Tianxing.

That afternoon, news came from the construction team that the basic framework for the first batch of base stations in Magic City had been completed, ahead of schedule.

When the news hit the internet, it caused another stir. Comments and discussions exploded once more:

"My god! Tianxing's efficiency is insane! They finished the basic framework in just half a day!"

"As expected, they didn't disappoint. Who can beat this speed?"

"The closed beta is just around the corner. Can the public beta be far behind? I'm already getting excited!"

"The overseas giants will probably come begging President Chen on their knees overnight after seeing this progress, haha!"

"Huaxia Technology is awesome! Tianxing is awesome! President Chen is awesome!"

Zhang Kai reported the construction progress to Chen Mo and said excitedly:

"President Chen, the basic framework for the Magic City base stations is complete. It's estimated they'll be fully built within three days to enter closed beta."

"The online popularity remains high, with nothing but supportive voices."

Chen Mo nodded slightly and said:

"Not bad. Keep a close watch to ensure construction quality. Don't sacrifice quality for speed."

"Also, preparations for screening overseas partners can begin. Once the closed beta starts, notify them to come for negotiations."

"Understood, President Chen! I'll arrange it immediately. We've already preliminary organized the screening process, just waiting for your command."

Zhang Kai replied.

After hanging up, a faint smile played on Chen Mo's lips.

He knew he had already won half the war over 5G. Next, he just needed to maintain a firm grip on the initiative to ensure Tianxing and Huaxia Technology established an unshakeable foothold globally.

The online discussions continued. Someone compiled highlights from the live stream with the caption:

"As soon as the Spring Festival passed, Tianxing went into full battle mode. 5G construction starting, overseas giants crying, the whole net buzzing—this is what a Huaxia enterprise should look like!"

Within just one hour, likes surpassed a million, and the comment section was filled with praise and anticipation.

"Waiting for the closed beta, waiting for the public beta, waiting for 5G to be fully popularized!"

"Believe in President Chen, believe in Tianxing. They will definitely lead Huaxia Technology to even greater heights!"

"Overseas giants, hurry up and line up to beg for cooperation, or you won't even get the leftovers!"

As night fell, the Tianxing Group headquarters remained brightly lit. Employees were still busy, making a final push for 5G base station construction, overseas cooperation, and closed beta preparations.

In the live stream room, countless viewers stayed on, watching the busy figures of the construction team and flooding the screen with supportive comments, anticipating the arrival of the 5G era.

Meanwhile, in the hotels of the overseas giants, they were still anxiously waiting for news from Tianxing, discussing how to impress Chen Mo and obtain the 5G patent authorization.

They knew clearly that this time, they had no way out but to surrender and compromise; otherwise, they would be phased out by the era.
