"Cook, risk-averse by temperament, wasn’t so sure. But prior to the meeting, Gou had already met with Apple engineers in China, who were feeding him details and forecasts that were more optimistic than the views in Cupertino. So Gou made a handshake deal on the spot. He offered to personally facilitate the necessary actions to establish mass production, in exchange for taking all the orders when—he believed—they inevitably emerged. “Foxconn is going to underwrite the investment,” he told Cook. “I’ll build two campuses with Chinese government partners, along with the provincial and central government. And when your volume is there, I’m going to build the products for you.”"

"In 1994, Huawei participated in an Asia-Pacific international exhibition and launched its independently developed large-scale exchange without missing the chance, gaining significant influence. That year, the central government proposed the village-to-village communication plan, and rural areas across the country eagerly connected phone systems. Huawei seized this opportunity, tailoring its offerings to rural realities by launching the ETS450D, which could cover an area of 7,000 square kilometers with a single base station, bypassing various obstacles with low cost and guaranteed quality, rapidly becoming a major supplier for the “village-to-village” project."
