Minke's black technology

Chapter 307 Grid Connection Test
Of course the price has to be negotiated!

In order to obtain the ownership of the "Starlink" network satellite, the Meow Star Group owes Musk a lot of money. Although the money does not need to be repaid in a hurry, it can be paid slowly by operating the "Starlink", but the debt is always money The problem, Zhou Lin had to transfer it out as soon as possible.

Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom are good targets right now, and only they can catch them!

But for the three major operators, they have always been the only ones who harvest other people's shares. I didn't expect to pay the road money to the Meow Star Group today. It is clear that they want to take advantage of them. This kind of thing is uncomfortable for anyone.

As for Huayao's hard-earned money from selling equipment, it was ignored.

"Mr. Zhou, is this price too high? Can it be lowered?" The telecom boss felt distressed about the three-year rent of 1 million yuan for a Starlink satellite.

That's right, Starlink is awesome, a single satellite can be worth thousands of base station facilities on the ground, and it is even possible to use satellites in the sky to replace ground signal towers in the future, but this situation has not yet come , The three major operators do not have much sense of urgency.

"1 million yuan per satellite is already the price of cabbage!" Zhou Lin obviously did not intend to give in, insisting on this price, and persuaded him earnestly: "Our production costs and R&D costs are very high. If you don't believe me, you You can also build a space satellite communication network by yourself!"

Hearing such words, everyone here wants to scold their mothers. Everyone knows that the R&D cost of Meow Star Black Technology is almost zero, and the so-called production cost is not used at all. Now it is Musk’s "Starlink" flying in the sky , but not a black technology satellite using the "Star Engine"!

Even if there is a cost, judging from the current asking price, the Meow Star Group intends to use the method of empty gloves and white wolves to get the "Starlink" from Musk, and then sell it to domestic operators for use, so as to repay it in one fell swoop. Clear purchase debt issues.

Moreover, after the three major operators spent money to help buy the "Starlink", what they got was not the ownership of the satellite, but only the three-year use service of the satellite.

The Meow Star Group's calculation is really resounding!
Yu Chengdong helped out and said, "Mr. Zhou is right. We have invested a lot of research funds. There is no free lunch in the world. What's more, the coverage of a satellite has reached hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. The whole country only needs a few hundred. Coverage without dead spots can be achieved with about one or so, and this price is already very cheap compared to the laying of ground base stations!"

The CEO of China Unicom immediately went on to ask: "Then we can only buy satellites that cover the country? There is no need to rent tens of thousands of satellites..."

Zhou Lin laughed, "We are packing the 'Starlink' for rent, and there is no way to disassemble it for use. You must know that other satellites may fly by in the sky at any time. Do you want to endure the kind of network that sometimes has internet and sometimes does not have internet?" Do you do it?"

Everyone was at a loss for words. They also knew that the tens of thousands of satellites in the "Starlink" were originally a whole. If you only rent a hundred satellites, it is not impossible, but the user experience will definitely be poor when the time comes!
Everyone chatted for a while, and felt that the Meow Star Group had no intention of lowering the price at all, so they planned to delay the discussion for a few days, maybe they could delay this matter.

The three major operators do not have to use the "Starlink" service. They are already satisfied with the current 5G speed. Even if the space satellite communication provided by the Meow Star Group can cover every corner of the world, it is a shame to let them spend money. accurate.

"There is no good thing in the world to buy things by yourself and let others pay for it!" The mobile boss laughed privately to the other two.

"That's right! The boss of the Meow Star Group has too much calculations, and wants to take advantage of all the good things!"

"It's better for us to join forces to form a satellite communication network. It doesn't matter even if we spend a little more money. Anyway, the ownership of the satellite still belongs to us!"

"Good idea, go back and get someone to do it right away!"

"Even if it doesn't work out, as long as you let the wind out, you can get Meow Star to cut the price by half..."

After several people made up their minds, they were about to send someone to deal with this matter when they suddenly received a message from their assistant, "Meow Star Group intends to enter the domestic mobile communication market?"

"The higher authorities intend to issue mobile communication licenses to Meow Star?"

"It is said that because users reported that the domestic 5G network speed is too slow, which does not match the real speed of the marked network, so it is strongly requested that cats with 'Starlink' enter the venue?"

I don't know if this series of news is true or not, but they all know that once Meow Star enters this market, let alone keep the current market share, they may not even be able to survive.

Meow Star brand black technology road roller is not a joke!
Thinking that things would develop in this direction, the three major operators ran back and pulled Meow to the negotiating table to continue the next negotiation.

Of course, the price of 1 million yuan per satellite for three years of service is agreed. Even if the final cost may be as high as trillions of yuan, as long as the current market structure can be maintained, the money can always be earned back.

The three major operators tried to propose 6G communication, even 5.5G is better than a silent upgrade, so that they can use this to charge users, but Meow Star Group and Huayao firmly disagree.

"5G is 5G! Even if its network speed increases and its coverage area becomes larger, there is no reason to change its name to 6G!" Zhou Lin saw through the opponent's purpose at a glance, and rejected this approach without hesitation, otherwise he would be criticized by netizens in the future. If you know, you will definitely be held back by the other party.

Since Meow Star and Huayao are not cooperating, it is not easy for them to upgrade the network on their own. After all, the communication standards are now in the hands of these two companies, and even major Western companies such as Qualcomm have nothing to do with them.

"And we are already formulating the 6G network standard, which is completely different from the existing standard. It will be a standard based on quantum communication technology..."

Zhou Lin revealed a little bit of Li Maoye's research and development plan, which immediately dispelled the original idea of ​​others. Of course, they knew that the bald guy must prevail in terms of technology, otherwise they would die in an ugly way.

"Now that the basic conditions have been negotiated, we would like to make a request..."

The bosses of the three major operations have communicated a long time ago. They all agreed that Meow Star cannot enter the civilian communication market, and can only participate as a technology provider. Otherwise, even if the terms are negotiated, it will not take effect. They can join hands to boycott Meow Star. Group entry.

"no problem!"

Zhou Lin agreed without hesitation. In fact, he didn't want to have conflicts with these giants. He did a few tricks to scare his opponents when the negotiation didn't go well.

After all, if you can control the upstream, there is no need for Meow Xing to go to the middle and lower reaches to fight with others.

"We don't want the domestic market, but the foreign market has nothing to do with you!"

Zhou Lin had already prepared and said: "Meow Star Group intends to set up a subsidiary to explore foreign markets. After all, 'Starlink' itself has many foreign users, and it already existed when we took over!"

This new company is Meowstar Communication, which was rumored on the Internet. At this time, the bosses of the three major operators knew that they had made a big mess. It turned out that they did not pay attention to the domestic market at all, but stared at the outside world. .

The matter has come to this point, and they will not regret it easily. After all, everyone knows that many things are unstoppable, just like the Meow Star Group provides services to the three major operators. If Zhou Lin does not agree, I am afraid that the three major operators will also Build it yourself.

Many things are not transferred by human will, and if they cooperate, both sides will benefit and fight will hurt both. Musk can make the move of a strong man breaking his wrist, and Zhou Lin will naturally know how to avoid unmovable stones and turn to other markets that are easy to conquer. Make a layout.

Once the contract is signed, everyone will be together immediately.

In order to test the actual effect of 5G performance after being merged into the "Starlink Network", the three major operators immediately launched a cooperative operation and quickly obtained the test services of several satellites.

There are not many cities for the new test. There are only five test point cities, namely Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Imperial Capital, Modu and Xiping. Chain Network” will do, so the testing work will be done very quickly.

According to the rules of the test event, 5G users in these cities can switch to the new package, the price remains the same and the package remains the same, but the network speed may change.

"We promise to increase the volume without increasing the price!" The three major communication service operators said. In fact, they had thought about increasing the price, but they were beaten back by the Meow Star Group.

All of a sudden, a message circulated on the Internet: "We can connect to the satellite to surf the Internet!"

Soon "Starlink 5G" became a hot search term on the Internet. Everyone knew that Meow Star Group acquired Musk's "Starlink", but it turned out that it had been incorporated into the flower planter communication network not long after. Here it is, and still in this seamless way.

You don’t need to change your mobile phone, or change your number or card. You just need to go to the operator’s official website to change the package, and replace the original 5G service with “Starlink 5G”. You can immediately enjoy the ultra-high-speed 5G speed around the world without dead ends .

"Shocked! Starlink's 5G technology comes from a bald eagle!"

"The three major communication service operators are aggressively charged by the Meow Star Group. Each satellite needs to pay 1 million yuan in usage fees, and it must be paid every three years!"

"What is the difference between Starlink 5G and ordinary 5G?"

"From now on, donkey friends don't have to worry about no signal when they go into the mountains!"

Amid the cheers of everyone on the Internet, the communication network of the florist began to upgrade again. Although there is no technical update this time, it can be regarded as speeding up on the original basis, but the all-round signal with no dead ends does have a great impact. At least the foundation has been laid for the service industry that was originally only in science fiction movies.
