The next day.
Morning.
A fighter, apanied by his subordinates, visited Maruyama Takeshi’s home. A few days prior, the fighter had registered apany in Tokyo and, in the presence ofwyers from both sides, hadpleted the transfer of ownership of Mingshun Shipping.
The remaining legal and tax-rted work was handled by specialized personnel.
As for the fifty million dors, it had beenundered through other channels for the fighter; had it been a direct gift, especially such arge sum, it would definitely have attracted attention and also incurred taxes from the government of Japan,plicating the process.
"Mr. Maruyama Takeshi, happy cooperation," the fighter extended his hand.
Maruyama Takeshi quickly grasped it, his face breaking into a wide smile.
Having finally repaid the debt he owed to the formidable Tang Qing, Maruyama Takeshi cheerfully said, "Happy cooperation, please don’t hesitate to ask if you need help in the future. Also, send my regards to your boss."
Tang Qing had already "disappeared."
Maruyama Takeshi could only ry messages through the person in front of him.
"Alright."
The fighter was not much of a talker.
He left as soon as his business was concluded.
Watching the vanishing tail lights of the car, Maruyama Takeshi stood for a long while before turning back to enter his house, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death, determined to spend more time with his family from now on.

May 30.
Tuesday.
Convention Center in Shen City.
Nine in the morning.
Dozens of domestic and international media outlets, and over a hundred representatives from themunication industry, had gathered here.
A grand press conference was about to be held here.
Three days ago.
When the content of today’s press conference was disclosed.
Many were stunned, wondering how it was possible to develop maturemercial 4Gmunication technology when the 3Gwork had not yet been fully deployed.
Upon investigation.
It turned out to be a joint venture between Huawei and a foreignpany.
Instantly, journalists from various countries felt at ease, assuming it was one of the Westernmunication giants.
However, when the journalists understood the background of Huawei’s partnerpany, they found it absurd. This partner had nothing to do with Westernmunication giants; it was actually a subsidiary of Zhiya in Myanmar.
Zhiya Technology Huaxia Subsidiary.
This seemed far-fetched.
Zhiya Technology, which had not previously engaged inmunication, now stood at the forefront of globalmunication technology, holding sixty percent of the stocks of Zhihua Technology Co., Ltd., while Huawei Technologies Co. was just the secondrgest shareholder.
Everything about it.
Seemed like false news.
However, the uracy of this news had been confirmed by multiple sources, making it a reality; hence, the press conference had already caused a sensation in themunication circles even before it started, because everyone knew 4G was the future.
The press conference was about to begin.
Below the stage, Ren Zhengfei was greeting representatives from foreign operators and leaders and experts from domestic information industry departments, as well as representatives from China’s four major operators, except for Tel, Mobile, and Un.
In this era, the strength of Huaxia Iron and Communication Group was also formidable.
"Director Wang, wee to the Zhihua Technology press conference," he said.
"Mr. Ren, we are here to take a look at your 4G technology. I have seen the number of domesticmunication patent applications you have submitted, reaching thousands, which ces you at the global forefront. I am looking forward to your achievements," said Director Wang.
"Rest assured, our technical strength will not disappoint you," Ren Zhengfei replied.
...
"President Ibsen, our equipment will definitely meet the market-oriented,mercial demands. We’ll find some time to talkter..."
...
Ren Zhengfei’s demeanor was very humble.
Simply put.
Zhihua Technology was the first to introduce maturemercial 4Gmunication technology.
But you are ultimately a equipment provider.
A service provider whose direct users are these operators; you rely on them for your livelihood. Whether you can make money not only depends on producing it, but also on their support and purchases.
If the Ministry of Information Industry doesn’t make a decision or issue a 4G license, domestic operators wouldn’t dare buy your equipment. Ren Zhengfei believes that at this time, when the inte does not have a strong demand for 4G, it is essential not only to take the lead but to maintain it as well.
Meanwhile, the general manager of Zhiya Technology Huaxia Subsidiary conducted himself with neither servility nor overbearing confidence.
This attitude was epted by all parties.
Because behind them stood the Myanmar Bank Group, and Ling, their neighboring big BOSS, unlike Huawei, which was merely a civilpany.
After dealing with guests from various paths.
Ren Zhengfei felt more tired than having been in a half-day meeting.
It was time.
The press conference officially began.
After the host’s announcement, Ren Zhengfei, as the main speaker, walked up.
Looking at the lights below.
Ren Zhengfei took a deep breath—this was his first time in such a setting; previously, Huawei had always been chasing Westernmunication giants, always snatching business in the cracks between the giants.
Now.
They had be pioneers.
Although Huawei owned only forty percent of the stocks in "Zhihua Technology Co., Ltd.".
But at thepany’s inception, it was agreed that the 4G technology would be shared, with equal ownership rights. Ren Zhengfei felt that Huawei still got the better deal despite the twenty percent difference in shares.
Back when they initially contacted Zhiya Technology.
The other party already possessed nearly mature 4G software and hardware systems technology. In the subsequent research and development process, those abnormal scientists at Zhiya Technology had be legendary figures within Huawei.
In front of those scientists, there were hardly any so-called technological bottlenecks, and these scientists did not practice technology blocking. The entiremercial 4G technology had been fully mastered by Huawei.
Thus.
This share ratio.
Ren Zhengfei and everyone at Huawei thoroughly epted it.
After a rather unfruitful weing speech, the press conference began.
Ren Zhengfei excitedly said, "Through massive capital investment, prolonged research and development, and the efforts of thousands of technical staff, we have finally conquered all the keys of the fourth generation of mobilemunication technology.
We have met the description requirements for 4G by the International Telmunication Union and can transfer data, high-quality audio, video, and images at high speeds. It provides a single terminal device with download speeds of up to 100M.
This is twenty-five times faster than current household broadband, offering a better user experience. With the same investment, the consequent economic benefits will also increase significantly, and its functionality is highly extensible.
This signifies the possibility of inte TV; with just one set-top box, a family can surf the inte and watch TV without interference from one another, with high-definition quality. Meanwhile, we’ve also developed a wirelesswork technology based on the WAPI standard.
It can realize multi-point data transmission functionality within a localwork....."
When Ren Zhengfei mentioned WAPI, people from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and many technical experts below became excited.
WAPI.
It is a wirelessmunication technology standard, just like WIFI.
The former is set by Huaxia, and thetter by the West, with not much difference in their functions, mainly in encryption and authentication methods—both are equally excellent standard protocols.
However, Huaxia’s technology standard had always been rejected and suppressed by foreign countries.
Communication protocol.
It isn’t a matter of whether it can be developed; anyone can develop it.
Because it’s something like a ’mutual understanding’ between two parties that doesn’t involve the hardware technology level. Even amunications graduate from a university could develop a set ofmunication protocols.
It’s akin to creating anguage.
If created, and others don’t recognize it, meaning they don’t wish to learn it, then they won’t understand what you’re saying. If you insist on using your inventednguage, the two parties cannotmunicate.
This WAPI protocol.
Huaxia had long wanted to establish it as a mandatory standard, but unfortunately, foreignmunication enterprises declined for various reasons, refusing to ept it. Companies like Intel even threatened to halt their wireless operations in Huaxia.
In March 2004, U.S. Secretary of State Powell, Secretary of Commerce Evans, and Trade Representative Zoellick jointly wrote a letter, requesting Huaxia to abandon the WAPI standard, iming it was a barrier to international trade.
In July of the same year, Huaxia submitted a WAPI proposal to the International Organization for Standardization, trying to make it an international standard, but faced strong opposition from the U.S., including blocking Huaxia’s WAPI technical experts from attending meetings.
All WAPI technical experts from the Huaxia delegation were denied visas, only the management personnel obtained visas. The Huaxia delegation had to seek protection and postponed the rted work until next year’s Frankfurt Meeting in Germany.
And in March of this year, at the International Organization for Standardization’s voting, WAPI was excluded by a wide margin.
Thus.
Tang Qing’s idea was to take this opportunity topete with the WIFI standard.
If not.
He didn’t want to lose everything.

....
Ren Zhengfei’s speech still continued.
And he became increasingly excited.
This feeling of being a pioneer really thrilled him, especially when he spoke of one of the prospective applications of WAPI—smart IoT. Not only was his heart almost leaping out in excitement, but the audience below was also infected.
Goodness.
This market seems quite big....
