Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 310 Emergency Meeting

At noon, Zheng Yaoyang and Lin Defu finished their lunch and went back to their room to take a rest. Their arrival happened suddenly, so the relevant departments should be given time to prepare well.

Director Luo, who settled them down, also started to get busy quickly, and hurriedly contacted Huang Rengui of the Communications Bureau, and Liu Yaowei, the director in charge of the department.

They do not exclude the entry of foreign communication providers, especially the coastal cities, which have always been at the forefront of reform and opening up, and dare to be the first in everything.

As early as the National Games in Guangdong Province in 87, the cellular mobile communication system was officially launched, which also marked the arrival of the 1G era in the mainland.

Over the past three years, the telecommunications market in the mainland has been monopolized by foreign telecommunications companies.

There are a total of eight standard signal models in seven countries, and they have monopolized the communication market in the entire mainland.

For example, NEC in Japan, Siemens in Germany, Ericsson in Sweden, and Lucent in the United States, etc., are also known as the period of seven countries and eight systems.

The reason why they are allowed to develop savagely is that they don't care whether they will involve national information security.

On the one hand, it is the communication collection terminal of various enterprises, which is subject to official supervision.

On the other hand, the eight telecommunications companies are engaged in a chaotic war. None of them can form absolute market dominance, and it is not considered a true monopoly.

What's more, communication companies are in chaos in the mainland, and local communication companies can also fish in troubled waters and develop rapidly.

But Zheng Yaoyang is different, Mili technology PHS, and Xiangjiang Telecom's PHS communication technology.

The two companies have the same roots and the same origin and complement each other. They have also experienced the test of the Xiangjiang market, gained a good reputation in the market, and formed a complete and mature communication system.

If they are introduced, it is bound to deal a devastating blow to the remaining eight carriers.

Once they monopolize the entire mainland market, local communication companies will have no future.

Whether to introduce Heung Kong Telecom has also become the main topic of discussion in the emergency meeting at noon.

Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng were also invited to participate. They are representatives of ZTE and Huawei respectively.

Both of them are state-owned and authorized private companies, and they are also local communication companies supported by Pengcheng.

There are specializations in the art industry, and for some professional matters, it is still necessary to ask professional people for their opinions.

Liu Yaowei asked Hou Weigui: "Mr. Hou, how does the ZX500 produced by ZTE compare to PHS?"

Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng, both of them have always been based on Hou Weigui's opinions, supplemented by Ren Feizheng's opinions, because strength is the last word.

ZTE has developed the first domestic digital switch. Although the market is still dominated by foreign companies, it is the first time to break the monopoly of foreign communication technology.

In contrast, Huawei was established relatively late, and it is only a middleman for Chinese and foreign companies, without any outstanding achievements.

Hou Weigui smiled wryly and said, "Director Liu, you think highly of ZX500 too much, the two are not in the same order of magnitude."

The magically modified PHS technology is a precious result that Zheng Yaoyang spent a lot of money on.

They invested a total of 50 before and after ZTE. They had no money and no one, so how could they compare with the other party.

Liu Yaowei frowned, and asked the two of them again: "If we introduce Heung Kong Telecom now, can we catch up with each other before the next generation of technology emerges?"

He is more advocating the introduction of Heung Kong Telecom. The mainland is too poor now and needs someone to help with the market.

Even if it gives up the benefits of five years, even ten years, or even as long as 15 years, it will not hesitate.

As long as he can catch up with the next-generation technology, Zheng Yaoyang's current market is to make wedding dresses for them.

Hou Weigui fell into deep thought and didn't say a word.

Ren Feizheng shook his head and said, "I went to Beijing last month and heard from an old friend that last year Zheng Yaoyang invested 500 million US dollars to set up a communication laboratory in Tsinghua University, specializing in 2G digital communication technology.

"It is said that a breakthrough has been made, and it should be able to catch up with the research and development progress of major international communication companies."

"The essence of PHS technology is to simulate 1G signals. Before, the market agreed that it was a derivative of fixed-line phones, but after improvement, it has become a 1.5G signal simulation."

"They have invested heavily in this project, and they should also realize that analog signals are a thing of the past and will soon be replaced by digital communication technology, so 1.5G is paving the way for the upcoming 2G."

Last year, Zheng Yaoyang acquired Heungkong Telecom, and Ren Feizheng was always paying attention to the direction of the incident.

After all, Xiangjiang is too close to Pengcheng, and the return date is also confirmed. Once Xiangjiang has a new product, it is bound to spread to Pengcheng quickly.

After watching the entire acquisition and subsequent investment, he was amazed at Zheng Yaoyang's strong financial resources, but also felt a little doubt.

The cost of an analog signal communication base station can be as high as 70 Hong Kong dollars, or almost [-] U.S. dollars.

At the same price, if it is a general communication base station, at least three or more can be manufactured.

The cost is so high, either Zheng Yaoyang was tricked by someone, or there is something ulterior motive.

Until last month, he went to the capital and learned that Tsinghua Communications Laboratory was working on 2G digital communication technology, and the investor of this project was Zheng Yaoyang.

He clearly knows the importance of 2G technology, but he is still investing heavily in base stations with 1.5G technology. Doesn't he know that backward technology will be eliminated soon?

Unless there is a communication base station with a cost of 70 yuan, there is some kind of special communication technology in it, which can realize the perfect transition from 1.5G to 2G.

Build one and use it as two.

Even if 2G digital communication technology appears in the future, there is no worry that the original base station will become useless.

At the end, Ren Feizheng sighed: "Introduce Heung Kong Telecom, once they develop, they will have no rivals before the emergence of 3G technology, and it can be said to be a monopoly in an absolute sense."

After the voice fell, everyone fell into silence. The last thing they wanted to see was a monopoly formed by a single family.

Liu Yaowei frowned even more, and continued to ask, "When will 3G technology appear?"

Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng looked at each other, smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, it may be ten years, or it may be 15 years."

2G digital communication technology has been making a lot of noise in the early years. Every communication company claims that its technology is ahead of the world, but so far it has not appeared.

What's more, they don't even know the signal format of the higher-level 3G technology, so how dare they assert it.

The meeting room fell into silence again. Huang Rengui, the bureau chief who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Thank you both for your valuable opinions. We will consider them carefully."

He knows that ZTE and Huawei are talking about the disadvantages of introduction, because introduction is a bad thing for them, and the benefits of introduction are intentionally ignored.

Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng listened to the meaning behind the words, cupped their hands respectfully and said, "Director Huang, we'll leave first if there's nothing to do, and you can call if you need anything."

After getting an affirmative answer from Director Huang, the two left the conference room and walked out of the office building together.

Hou Weigui asked: "Old Ren, what decision do you think they will make?"

Ren Feizheng couldn't help smiling wryly: "Probably restrict it, and then agree to introduce Xiangjiang Telecom."

Even if it is a purely Western capital, as long as many restrictions are imposed, it will eventually agree to the introduction.

After all, the technology is novel enough to meet people's ever-increasing communication needs, and it has also passed the market test in Xiangjiang, so it is worth taking a risk.

What's more, Zheng Yaoyang donated 2500 million US dollars in Pengcheng, made a bet on the Pujiang River in Shanghai, and won the praise of great people in Beijing.

His grandfather is still Bao Yugang, a famous patriotic businessman who has donated to the mainland many times, and he is also a friend of the current great man for many years.

Whether public or private, he couldn't find a reason why the Pengcheng government would reject Zheng Yaoyang.

A trace of bitterness appeared in Hou Weigui's mouth: "It's not a crime of war, it's not a crime of war."

Ren Feizheng stopped suddenly, fell into deep thought, and said after a while, "Not necessarily."

Hou Weigui asked curiously, "Not sure what."

"A mediocre person can only disturb himself."

Ren Feizheng laughed at himself, got into the car, and waved to Hou Weigui: "Old Hou, please understand slowly."

Why do they have to treat Hong Kong Telecom as an enemy? What qualifications do they have to treat Hong Kong Telecom as an enemy?

Their attitude was not right in the first place.

Because Hong Kong Telecom is not Siemens, nor Lucent, nor Ericsson.

The telecommunications and PHS models are suitable for Xiangjiang and Pengcheng, but not necessarily for all parts of the country.

The underlying technical logic of 1G analog signals limits the development of PHS, and communication can only be profitable in densely populated large cities.

The mainland is not as developed as Xiangjiang. The current domestic landline penetration rate is only 1.2%, while Xiangjiang is as high as 92%. Therefore, higher-end mobile communications are needed.

So they have no direct competition with Zheng Yaoyang, but because of Zheng Yaoyang's appearance, they have created a brand new business path.

It is impossible for the government to deeply bind telecommunications and PHS, and it is bound to open up the interfaces of operators.

This also means that they will not only be able to produce landlines in the future, but may also produce mobile communicators.
