Chapter 235: In No More Than Five Years, China’s GDP Will Surpass That of America! (Part 3/4)

Su Xiaoli hurriedly followed him.

The two of them got busy in the kitchen.

Just as they were about to sit down at the dining table, someone rang the doorbell.

Tang Feng put on his coat and went out to open the door.

He saw Su Ming and others!

“How did you guys come?” Tang Feng asked.

“We just finished eating and felt that it had been a while since we last saw you, so we came over to check on you,” Su Ming replied.

Tang Feng hurriedly invited them in.

“Boss, have you and sister-in-law eaten yet?” Zhu Zihang asked.

“Not yet!” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “We were just about to eat.”

“If we had known, we would have come later,” Su Ming and the others said apologetically.

“It’s okay! You can eat with us,” Tang Feng said.

“You guys eat! We’ll sit on the sofa for a while.”

“Make yourselves at home.”

Su Xiaoli got up to greet Su Ming and the others, then sat down again.

Tang Feng also sat down opposite her.

Perhaps because Su Ming and the others were there, Tang Feng ate very quickly.

Soon, he pushed his bowl and chopsticks forward, then stood up and came over to Su Ming.

“Boss, what have you been busy with lately?” Zhang Hao asked.

“Just busy with random stuff. What about you guys?” Tang Feng asked.

“Su Ming and I go to class on time every day. Zihang spends most of his time at the company,” Su Ming replied.

“After a while, you guys should also start your own business,” Tang Feng suggested.

“Ah? What can we do?” Su Ming was a bit surprised.

“There are many good industries,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile. “Like mobile phones, cars.”

“What?” Su Ming and Zhang Hao were shocked.

The mobile phone industry sounded somewhat reliable.

The car industry, is that something ordinary people can get involved in?

Moreover, they were just ordinary college students, probably lacking strong leadership skills!

“Boss, you think too highly of us! If you let us start a mobile phone store or something, I think that’s possible. Even opening a 4s store is relatively reliable,” Zhang Hao said.

“Everything can be learned. No one is born knowing how to do everything. Besides, you guys are students at Jingcheng University and are majoring in mathematics. I believe that if you study hard, managing a mobile phone company or a car company wouldn’t be a problem,” Tang Feng said, full of confidence in them.

Su Ming and Zhang Hao didn’t say anything.

“Since the boss is giving you this opportunity, you definitely shouldn’t miss it. I’m now the general manager of Jianbao Network, and I think it’s pretty good. Moreover, once Jianbao Network goes public, I can immediately achieve financial freedom. Of course, my goal is to make Jianbao Network the largest shopping website in the country and even the world. I believe I can do it!” Zhu Zihang said, very excited.

“Boss, whether it’s starting a mobile phone company or a car company, we need startup capital. Where will the capital come from?” Su Ming asked with interest.

“That’s simple! Leave it all to Huaxing Investment Company,” Tang Feng answered.

“But just having capital might not be enough! After all, the mobile phone market is basically occupied by Nokia and Motorola. The market share of domestic mobile phones is pitifully small. Moreover, we don’t have any technical reserves,” Su Ming expressed his deep concerns.

Tang Feng knew that what he said was the truth.

In 2004, Nokia and Motorola together occupied about seventy percent of the mobile phone market share.

Especially Nokia, at its peak of dominance.

Unchallenged!

The situation for domestic mobile phones, like Bodao Mobile Company, was a bit better, but their market share was still less than ten percent.

In many people’s eyes in China, the position of Nokia Mobile Company was unchallengeable!

The true dominator!

However, for Tang Feng, Nokia and Motorola, and the like, were nothing.

As long as he could create smartphones and develop a new mobile operating system, beating Nokia would be a matter of minutes.

Thinking this, he said to Su Ming and others, “I’ll find a way to help with the technical issues. In the coming period, Su Ming, try to strengthen your knowledge about mobile phones as much as possible. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can look it up or call me. Whenever I have time, I’ll answer your questions. I hope you can become a semi-expert in the field of mobile phones in the shortest possible time.”

“No problem! As long as it’s beneficial for starting a business, I’m very willing to learn!” Su Ming nodded and agreed.

“Zhang Hao, you also need to enhance your knowledge about cars. The per capita car ownership in China is far behind that of America, which means there’s huge potential! If you can seize this opportunity, you might very well become a leader in the automotive industry,” Tang Feng said earnestly.

“The per capita car ownership is indeed very low. After all, Jingcheng is an international metropolis, and the number of private cars is quite large. In my hometown, there are hardly any cars on the roads. The automotive industry is indeed promising,” Zhang Hao responded.

“The reason I chose these two industries is mainly because, in the near future, cars and mobile phones will become essential for every household, even every adult. Just imagine, with a population of over a billion in the country, there are at least eight hundred million adults! Even if only half of them own a car, that’s four hundred million cars! As for mobile phones, needless to say. On average, at least one per person, over a billion units is very easy,” Tang Feng said, somewhat excitedly.

What he said was also the truth!

As a reborn person, Tang Feng knew very well what the next few decades would be like!

He could completely use his advantage to speed up this process!

By then, whether it’s mobile phone brands or car brands, they would mostly be domestic!

Thinking of such a scene, Tang Feng felt extremely excited.

“Boss, I feel like what you just described has already happened in America and Japan. Whether it’s cars or mobile phones, they have basically achieved popularization,” Su Ming said.

“It’s normal for you to feel that way! Our country, relatively speaking, is still quite backward. Although our GDP total is currently ranked sixth in the world, our per capita GDP ranks at 129th, only one-fifth of the world average. That means, in the coming years, our country’s main goal is to surpass America. Once this goal is achieved, the people of our country will definitely live a happier life than the people in America,” Tang Feng said a lot in one breath.

“To achieve such a goal, I guess it won’t happen without thirty to fifty years. Even the mainstream media predicts that around 2035, China’s GDP total will surpass that of America,” Su Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

“Predictions are often inaccurate. The results given by forecasting agencies change every year. In my view, by 2009 at the latest, China will surpass America,” Tang Feng said, full of confidence.
