199: Chapter 199 Signing Completed
The four CEOs looked at Chen Mo, forced fawning smiles onto their faces, and said:
"President Chen, thank you for giving us the opportunity to cooperate. In the future, we will definitely strictly abide by the contract, absolutely not dare to play any tricks, and will fulfill all agreements on time!"
Chen Mo didn't say anything; he just waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.
Seeing this, the group hurriedly stood up and respectfully exited the conference room. The moment they stepped out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew in their hearts that although they had paid an astronomical price today and lost all face, being able to obtain Tianxing's 5G authorization was already a blessing in disguise. If they had missed it again, their companies would truly have been phased out by the market.
As soon as news of the four giants signing and transferring funds leaked out, the entire internet completely boiled over. Trending topics were once again dominated by Tianxing, becoming even more lively than during the 5G internal testing:
#Tianxing Signs Astronomical Deal with Overseas Giants#
#Tens of Billions in Authorization Fees Paid on the Spot#
#Japanese, American, and Korean Companies Charged 8% 5G Royalty#
#The Ones Who Once Choked Us Now Come to Give Us Money#
The view counts for these entries broke a hundred million in minutes. Netizens' comments flooded in endlessly, filled with cheers and sounds of relief:
"Satisfying! So satisfying! Back then, you guys choked our Huaxia Technology's neck, and now aren't you obediently sending money over, begging us for authorization!"
"Tens of billions in authorization fees! And paid in one lump sum! This is the confidence of Huaxia Technology; this is President Chen's strength!"
"An 8% cut for Japanese, American, and Korean companies is too reasonable! This is the price they pay for targeting us back then; it's not a loss at all!"
"I used to see you all acting high and mighty, but now aren't you lowering yourselves and obediently waiting for President Chen in the conference room? Does your face hurt?"
"Thank you, President Chen! Thank you, Tianxing! We finally held our heads high and no longer have to look at the faces of foreign giants!"
"Hahahaha, Samsung and Qualcomm have their day too. When they were suppressing us back then, why didn't they think there would be a day they'd be begging us and waiting for us?"
"Ten billion! Ten billion in one go, and there are four for the four giants. Tianxing is making a killing this time!"
"Korean companies: 'We have stronger technology, we just won't make it public.' The result? Aren't they kneeling and begging to talk cooperation with President Chen!"
"I'm dying of laughter. Korean netizens are still being stubborn, while their companies have already knelt. How do they have the nerve to say Chen Mo is one of theirs?"
"We used to envy foreign countries for having advanced technology, now it's their turn to envy us. This is the rise of Huaxia Technology; I'm so proud!"
"From now on, Huaxia Technology will never be choked by foreign countries again. Tianxing is awesome, President Chen is awesome, Huaxia is awesome!"
Some netizens even specifically took screenshots of the uneasy looks of the four giants while waiting in the conference room released by Tianxing, with the caption:
"They choked our necks back then, and now they obediently wait for President Chen's summons. This is karma; the cycle of heaven is just!"
In a short time, the likes on this content surpassed ten million, and netizens joined the hot comments one after another:
"Who would have thought! We used to beg foreign countries for technology, and now foreign giants are begging us for authorization. This reversal is just too good!"
"Tianxing has directly seized the lifeblood of global 5G. From now on, foreign 5G development will all depend on President Chen's mood. So domineering!"
"8% for Japan, Korea, and America, and tiered collection for other countries. This vision! It both avenged being choked back then and showed Huaxia's confidence. Brilliant!"
"The four giants paid forty billion at once. Tianxing's cash flow is maxed out; there's even more confidence for subsequent R&D!"
"If nothing else, just for President Chen's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, I'm a fan! This is what our Huaxia entrepreneurs should look like!"
"The whole world is fighting for Tianxing's 5G authorization. Our country will never have to look at foreign faces again, and we can even set the 5G rules. This is the power of rising!"
"The foreign media that previously mocked Huaxia's 5G as being no good have all shut up now. This is hard power talking, more effective than ten thousand words of explanation!"
"I suggest carving this famous negotiation scene of President Chen into textbooks, so everyone can see how Huaxia Technology turned the tide and held its head high!"
As for those previously stubborn Korean netizens, seeing the astronomical signing of the four giants and the news of them having to obediently wait for President Chen—and remembering their own country's companies were among them—they fell completely silent. They no longer dared to randomly pick fights or spread rumors. Occasionally, a few stubborn ones were shut down by domestic netizens, unable to cause any more waves.
Zhang Kai looked at the heated discussions online and said to Chen Mo with a smile:
"President Chen, look online. It's all voices supporting us. Everyone is saying how satisfying it is, and they're even teasing the giants for waiting for you so obediently in the conference room."
Chen Mo leaned back in his office chair, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"This is just the beginning. In the future, we will let the whole world know that Huaxia Technology is not something they can manipulate at will."
Li Yue also nodded and said:
"President Chen, companies from other countries have already taken the initiative to contact us, wanting to discuss 5G authorization. They are all willing to accept our threshold and even said they are waiting for your summons. Should we arrange time to meet?"
Chen Mo said indifferently:
"No rush. Go in order and be a bit stricter with the screening. Reject all those who don't meet the conditions."
Remember, we are the ones in control. We don't need to accommodate them; just let them wait."
"Understood, President Chen!"
The 5G cooperation between the four giants and Tianxing was settled. The news swept through the global tech and financial circles like a thunderclap, and a capital carnival centered around Tianxing officially began.
On the day of the signing, investment institutions and consortia from all over the world flooded into Tianxing Group, submitting letters of intent for investment, each bid higher than the last, just to get a share of the 5G dividend.
Many multinational corporations from Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia even held board meetings overnight to finalize cooperation intentions, proactively accepting all of Tianxing's cooperation thresholds, and were even willing to increase authorization fees just to obtain 5G technology authorization first.
The giants that once monopolized global communication technology had now completely become "followers" of Tianxing, with every move having to align with Tianxing's rules.
Global funds poured in continuously, making Tianxing's cash flow incredibly abundant.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to order the expansion of the scale of 5G base station construction, while simultaneously accelerating the iterative upgrade of core technologies, deeply integrating 5G with Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things to further consolidate technical barriers.
At the same time, Tianxing officially introduced global 5G technical standards. All cooperative enterprises must strictly follow the rules formulated by the Chinese side, or their authorization qualifications will be canceled.
This move completely broke the long-term foreign monopoly on communication technology standards, allowing Huaxia to grasp absolute discourse power in the global communication field for the first time.
Those companies that had once refused to cooperate with Huaxia or even suppressed Huaxia Technology now lowered their heads, not hesitating to take a loss to line up and beg for cooperation, only to be strictly screened by Tianxing according to the rules, with most being rejected.
In the top-floor office of Tianxing Group, Zhang Kai held the latest cooperation list and reported to Chen Mo:
"President Chen, companies from over eighty countries are now proactively seeking cooperation, and funds are still pouring in frantically. We have completely monopolized the global 5G technology and market discourse power; no one can choke our necks anymore!"
Chen Mo nodded and said:
"This is not the end; it's the beginning of Huaxia Technology going global."
Next, we want 5G to cover every corner of the globe and let the whole world witness the power of Huaxia."
