The Goddess Shines on America

Everything is a matter of course.

The development of adsl technology is not very difficult, at least for Alice. In fact, she did not graduate from St. Anto’s Elementary School, that is, not long after Cisco was founded, she invented this technology through the trend of routers. It's just that for a short time, there is no need to put it on stage at all.

After all, adsl is hard not to remind her when she is developing routers. The term broadband access is familiar to all Chinese people. When you make a phone call, some errands will come to your door with a contract and router to report the installation, but it is a real part of daily life.

This technology is said to be complicated and complicated. For people who start from scratch, that is, Bell Labs in history, it takes a lot of time and energy to explore the experiment step by step. But it is simple and very simple. When Alice does not hesitate to use Mind Power as a hardware modification aid, it is still very easy to reach the level of "patented".

The full name of adsl is asymmetric digital subscriber line, which is part of the dsl family, that is, digital subscriber line. This is a technology developed by Bell Labs for video-on-demand business in 1989 and uses twisted-pair copper cables to transmit high-speed data. Unfortunately, the video-on-demand business did not emerge at this time, so the dsl technology was temporarily abandoned. On the contrary, after the great development of the Internet in the 1990s, it caused the low cost and low cost of copper-stranded wires, and adsl was restarted, making it easy for ordinary users to achieve high-speed networks.

This technology itself is not difficult, because its basic principle is really nothing more than three channels for twisted pair cables. As long as the people who are interested in finding the right target for research and development, a small laboratory can register a patent in just a few months, which is a very early one year. Unfortunately, since Alice targeted this concept as early as 1984, Bell Labs has nothing to do with it anymore.

Technology research and development is not difficult, and what really takes time is the process by which operators complete the laying of relevant infrastructure and finally realize broadband access to their homes.

For a long time, from the perspective of communication users, the entire process is from the user's telephone set through a common paired copper wire subscriber line, connected to the community or even the municipal exchange, into the public exchange communication network, until the other party's phone is connected. Phone, in order to realize the conversation between two phone users.

This is the frequency band provided by broadband for traditional analog phones. Its frequency is between 300~3400hz. This is actually a very low speed. It is not difficult to understand the hardware standard of Lenovo's world's first telephone. Therefore, in order to better adapt to the needs of modernization, operators provide users with modems to increase the rate, so that the rate can be as high as 33kn/s to 56kb/s for data signals, which can communicate with each other through analog voice bands.

In other words, when the adsl technology arrived, the data transmission speed of Internet users was limited to this. This way of surfing the Internet using a telephone line can still meet demand in the early years, but with the continuous popularization of even this low-level technology, the public's demand for higher-end technology has naturally risen.

The transmission rate of the copper stranded wire can be very high, but the switches in the communication network have limitations. It has only one frequency band for telephone communication, so when the user's Internet data comes, it can only treat it as telephone communication data. Therefore, because the copper stranded wire itself does not restrict data transmission, as long as the narrowband switch can be avoided, users can transmit Internet data to the communication network at a high speed, and this is the core purpose of the dsl series technology.

Well, in fact, after learning about the whole cause and effect, Alice also knew that this was a Cisco problem. Whether it’s Cisco or any company that produces switches, it’s not bad if you can develop the switches and sell them for money, specifically to increase the speed of the masses and make the products distinguish digital information? Why are everyone so idle?

Therefore, this project still needs to be solved by the network provider.

"This is a business with a very large workload, but there is no doubt that it will efficiently promote the development of the entire society. In this regard, Cisco can provide relevant technical support, such as the authorization of dsl-related technologies, and the transformation of infrastructure networks. Interface patent authorization...Yes, Mr. Locke, this technology, as I explained to you, is not too technical, but the difficulty of popularization is very high, so we even need to establish a standard for this. , What do you say?"

The meeting is still going on, and Alice, who has been prepared early, has also distributed materials related to dsl technology. At this time, all the shareholders in the audience had finished reading, and the representative CEO Barton Locke was plunged into contemplation.

"This is indeed a blueprint with outstanding prospects." After a moment of silence, he sighed and said: "But please let me discuss with the board members carefully. Miss Wang, and your Royal Highness, it's not early. Now, how about we go to the restaurant downstairs for lunch first?"

The time is indeed late, and the reading of the adls, sdsl and even hdsl subordinates of the dsl technology takes up a good part of this conference. Of course Alice was so happy. She patted her belly and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Locke. I have long heard that British Telecom’s cafeteria employs several highly skilled French chefs. I want to treat myself well. ."

Afterwards, everyone filed out of the meeting room talking and laughing. When he first walked to the floor lobby, Prince Charles seemed to be pacing carelessly, but he was right shoulder to shoulder with Patton Locke.

"Oh, His Royal Highness..."

"At&t in the United States, and even Bell Atlantic, have a lot of pressure on us to compete." He said calmly: "If you didn't choose to cooperate with her, then this girl would definitely choose our competitor. Mr. Locke When new industries are booming, who is the first is of the utmost importance. I believe you must know this truth better than me."

"That is nature, that is nature."

Barton Locke and the crown prince slowly followed the team. Technical director Chad had cleverly wrapped Alice. When the two were discussing technical details at the elevator door, the two of them whispered behind the team. Talking.

"However, your Royal Highness, if you really want to implement this plan, the transformation of existing network lines is one aspect, we will definitely need to buy a huge order from Cisco. Since this technology was proposed by Miss Wang, her flagship products It will definitely play a key role in this process, so the cost needs to be calculated from two aspects."

There is no time to say more, because the elevator has opened, Prince Charles laughed loudly: "Come on, let us go and taste a table of exquisite French cuisine, Alice, don't you take my share." !"

"So when it comes to setting the standard for the network cable interface...Oh yes, Your Highness, I will definitely grab every minute of the lobster on your plate!"

With a friendly pat on the shoulder of Technical Director Chad, Alice was the first to walk into the elevator.

The executive restaurant is located in a remote corner of the canteen. The decoration style here is quite exquisite, and there is a whole glass window that allows people to see the bustling streets of London. As for organizing the lunch itself, of course, it is not just for eating. Before waiting for the dishes to be served, some people need to ask Alice a series of questions.

Of course, it will not be a matter of this cooperation for the time being, it will be mentioned in the meeting in the afternoon.

"Is the rumors true?" One of British Telecom’s executive-level shareholders, cfo’s redhead Jessica asked curiously: "There is a report in the financial section of The Times that it has a market value of 140 million pounds. I've been trapped, and you did the biggest deal?"

"Ah, yes, Jessica." Alice smiled very calmly: "Thanks to its roller coaster a few days ago, I didn't expect to make so much money thanks to its net profit of 34 million pounds. ."

Prince Charles, who was listening, twitched his eyes.

Jessica undoubtedly provoked a high-profile topic. Seeing Alice’s easy answer, another executive asked, “How did you think it would have a roller coaster? God bless me, but I just happened to be in it. If you lose your short position when you fall, you have suffered a terrible loss now."

"...It is the largest supermarket chain in the UK."

Alice looked at the first dish on the table and said, "As of now, it has hundreds of branches in the UK alone? Most of them are concentrated in London. Everyone, London is a financial city, then You think, when this stock market crash has left so many people short of money to spend, who else will go to the supermarket to hang out?"

"Yeah~www.readwn.com~ So..."

"So it will fall sharply, but it will rise again soon."

Alice smiled and watched the second dish served: “Because after all, what you buy in the supermarket is all daily necessities, and even fresh food. When people are short of money, they will subconsciously think of going to the supermarket less, but they will really suffer. After all, it is only the luxury goods and consumables that are affected, so go to the supermarket less...Isn’t it going to be after all?"

Seeing that everyone in the audience was savoring her own words, Alice once again smiled slowly and raised her glass.

Normally, after all, for these people who watch financial channels every day, their recent multilateral arbitrage in the global stock market must have attracted countless people's eyes. So when she shared her investment philosophy for a while, don't look at these adults at least twice her age, but listen carefully.

"I recommend a sector worth investing in now." When the third dish was served, Alice chuckled lightly, and was satisfied to see that the eyes of this group of people lit up: "Game and film industry, yes. For those who are unemployed at home, there is nothing cheaper than this for consumer entertainment. The more the economy is depressed, the more these industries will develop!" (To be continued.)
