After coming out of Chi Zhenjun, Zhang Cundao knew that his plan to make money by selling the red light therapy device went bankrupt.
Now, it seems that he can only rely on other ways to make money. He returned to the cave and saw Di Lao harvesting mushrooms, so he casually asked: "Why are you growing these mushrooms?"
Di Lao replied: "Someone collects these mushrooms, and one kilogram of dried mushrooms has one colorful coin.
"Does anyone collect mushrooms like this?" After hearing this, Zhang Cundao picked up a mushroom and saw that it was ordinary and had no special effects.
"Why did that person collect these mushrooms?" Zhang Cundao asked.
"I don't know, but I heard that it might be feeding some kind of animal." Di Lao said.
Zhang Cundao nodded and continued to ask: "Is this mushroom easy to grow?"
Di Lao scratched his head and said, "It's quite easy to grow. You can harvest it once every three days. After drying, it can weigh about ten kilograms."
Earning ten colored coins in three days... This is a bit inefficient. Zhang Cundao picked up the mushrooms and looked at them carefully. He suddenly remembered that there was a TV program called "The Book of Wealth", which taught others how to grow mushrooms and become rich...
Maybe he can learn from it and teach it to Di Lao. Zhang Cundao thought in his mind.
After chatting with Di Lao for a while, Zhang Cundao returned to his room to practice.
……………………………………………………
Real world. When Zhang Cundao opened his eyes, snowflakes were already falling outside and the first semester of his junior year was coming to an end.
This morning it was snowing and the ground was slippery and it was not suitable for morning jogging. Zhang Cundao came to Wen Xi’s house and had breakfast with Wen Xi. Since Wen Xi joined Zhang Cundao’s company, Grandma Wen likes Zhang Cundao even more, and Professor Wen treats him well.
A lot.
Sure enough, as long as a man has a career, others will always look at you with admiration.
A large table was set up with a full breakfast. Wen Xi sipped the porridge and said to Zhang Cundao: "The first-generation mobile communication terminal developed by Mingrui University and domestic companies will be held at a press conference today. Do you want to take a look?
"
"Mobile communication terminal? What is this?" Zhang Cundao asked.
"To put it simply, it's a mobile phone." Wen Xi replied.
"Mobile phone? Is it similar to a satellite phone? What's so exciting about this? Isn't there such a product?"
Wen Xi smiled and shook his head and said: "It is said that satellite communication is not used. The cost of satellite communication is too high and is not suitable for large-scale promotion. Mobile communication terminals use microwave communication technology to transmit information. It is said that the cost will be much lower. This technology
There has always been a cost issue that has been difficult to solve, but this time Mingrui University seems to have made a technological breakthrough that can greatly reduce costs."
Zhang Cundao is not sensitive to technology, but after hearing this, he also smiled and said: "Will it be much more convenient to communicate by phone in the future?"
Wen Xi nodded and said: "It is said to be like this. People from the High-tech Zone Management Committee suggested that all companies in the Information Industrial Park should learn about it. That's why I talked to you."
Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "In that case, let's take a look. There will be a live TV broadcast, right?"
Wen Xi nodded. After watching the two of them finish speaking, Professor Wen, who was reading the newspaper, put down the newspaper, coughed lightly and said, "Cundao, let me ask you something."
"Do you have any plans for the later stages of your game?" he asked seriously.
Hearing this, Wen Xi rolled her eyes at him slightly, but drank the soy milk and said nothing. Zhang Cundao didn't know yet that Professor Wen was also a player of "Let's Have a Big Adventure"! Even Wen Xi only found out recently.
In the past few days, Professor Wen had been asking about the later plans of this game, which aroused Wen Xi's alert, and then she realized that he was also a gamer. And he was also a hardcore gamer!
His game characters have not died for more than 1,700 hours, and they are top-notch bosses in the entire gaming circle. Relying on his solid foundation in ancient Chinese, the old professor can always understand good things from the scriptures.
Skills, his game characters are extremely powerful in combat!
Wherever Zhang Cundao has any game planning, this is all the responsibility of the cerebellum. However, Professor Wen rarely asked him a question, so he thought for a while and said: "I have some humble opinion, that is, it is possible to make the game into a graphics game."
Hearing this, Professor Wen showed a hint of disappointment on his face. If this was the case, the game would just add some graphics, and there would be no fundamental improvements to the game itself. He sighed and said, "Is that so?"
When Wen Xi heard this, she finally couldn't help it. She said, "Grandpa, if you have any suggestions, just tell me. I'm right in front of you now."
Professor Wen has the shortcomings of a literati. He thinks in different ways when he speaks, and hesitates before and after doing things. He is just not happy enough.
Professor Wen was a little embarrassed when his granddaughter said this. He calmed down and said, "I don't dare to say anything. It's just that the game is not as attractive as before, and it becomes more and more boring as it gets to the later stages."
When Zhang Cundao heard this, he said a little strangely: "No, according to the information we collected, this game is still very attractive. There is nothing boring about it."
Professor Wen feels bored because his character is too strong, and any incident he encounters can be solved by fighting, so there is no turning point in the plot to look forward to... This is a common problem among high-end players, but there are too few high-end players like him after all.
Their feelings are just a handful in front of big data, so they have never been taken seriously by the cerebellum.
To put it simply, they just need to 'beg for abuse and humiliation!'
It took a long time for Zhang Cundao to understand this truth. He said with a bit of a smile: "I will improve it later. It's very simple. We will add new maps for experts like you."
Zhang Cundao also suddenly figured out that masters like Professor Wen must be people with particularly strong understanding or particularly good professionalism. To treat these people, it is no longer enough to give them some ordinary scriptures. They should be asked to give
A more special explanation.
Just like when Zhang Cundao's grandfather explained the "Huangya Sutra" to him, that special insight...
After breakfast, Zhang Cundao and Wen Xi went to the company together.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mingrui University's press conference started on time. Zhang Cundao and Wen Xi sat in the conference room and watched the live TV broadcast. After listening to the opening remarks, the introducer finally took out a prototype machine.
This prototype machine was about the size of a palm, all black, and looked very dull. However, the introducer pressed the button on the top as he spoke, and then the screen of the prototype machine lit up.
The screen of this machine does not have high pixels, but text and other text can be displayed very clearly. The introducer showed the functions of making calls, editing and sending and receiving emails, and notepad functions, which made Zhang Cundao's eyes light up.
"This machine is so convenient! It can not only answer calls, but also receive emails and even display photos. This is so convenient." Zhang Cundao exclaimed.
Wen Xi also nodded, thinking these functions were good.
At this time, Zhang Cundao suddenly said: "What do you think will happen if this machine can run our fog chat?"
When Wen Xi heard this, he frowned, then smiled and said, "That will be a revolution."
Zhang Cundao nodded and said: "Yes, this will be a revolution. Go and see how this mobile communication terminal will be put into the market, and whether we can get involved."
When Wen Xi heard this, she said in disbelief: "We also want to get involved? But do we have the ability?"
Zhang Cundao smiled and said: "How will you know if you don't try? Let's mobilize our Zijin alumni. After all, we have Zijin Mining as a big financier behind us."
Zhang Cundao has a feeling that if this matter is successful, it will be of great help to their company. If this is the case, then they must activate their connections...
In the following time, Zhang Cundao told Mr. Zhu and Zhu Xuanxuan his plan. This plan required the support of big donors.
After listening to his words, Mr. Zhu thought carefully and asked, "Do you have this ability?"
Zhang Cundao nodded and said: "There is no problem with the software. Mist Chat is now very mature. We just need to streamline the program and make it run on mobile terminals."
In this world, the desktop operating system of microcomputers is an open source system studied by several top universities at home and abroad. The update and maintenance of the system are performed jointly by everyone. Therefore, after the system was streamlined, it was also placed on mobile terminals.
As long as the systems are the same, many things are compatible.
Mr. Lao Zhu nodded and said, "In that case, I'll find some old friends and you can make a plan and use it at any time."
Zhang Cundao nodded and began to prepare a plan. On the other side, Wen Xi was also working hard. Relying on the connections of alumni, he began to get in touch with the progress of this mobile terminal.
In fact, before the press conference, there was already a plan for this thing. The telecommunications bureau is mainly responsible for the promotion of this technology. Technology companies will join in to manufacture the terminals, and then the telecommunications bureau will promote it. At the beginning, it will be invested by state funds.
, build a new mobile communication network, and then the telecommunications bureau operates it for a fee to repay the state's investment.
As long as the first step is taken, private funds and the operating income of the telecommunications bureau can be used in the future to continue construction, and eventually a mobile communication network covering the entire country will be formed.
Establishing a mobile communication network is a national strategy.
Good news soon came. A company that Zhang Cundao's uncle cooperated with took over the manufacturing and sales of terminals. Under the introduction of his uncle, Zhang Cundao also began to get involved in building the software of the terminal.
This was the first major project of Mist Technology Co., Ltd., and the money on the books was spent like water. The big financier, Zijin Heavy Metal Investment Company, added an additional investment of 10 million.
In the following days, Zhang Cundao practiced in the mist world at night and followed Mr. Zhu to visit various people during the day.
However, Zhang Cundao entered the market late. After fighting for a long time, he only managed to win the support of the Zijin Regional Telecommunications Bureau.
The Telecommunications Bureau and Mist Technology Co., Ltd. agreed that Mist Company can carry out the "mobile fog chat" business. The Telecommunications Bureau will assume the task of network transmission, while Mist Company will be responsible for the processing, storage and operation of information.
This is equivalent to saying that the telecommunications bureau only gave one entry ticket. But in addition to this ticket, Zhang Cundao is responsible for the operation of the software. The telecommunications bureau will not even give a server. If you want to use it, you can only rent them.
. And the final split is 64%, and the telecommunications bureau wants 60%!
This condition was so harsh that Zhang Cundao agreed. Because he had calculated that in fact, the biggest cost of their operation was the server installation. If it was set up according to the strength of one million users, the cost of the server alone would be hundreds of thousands per month. This
Includes electricity costs, manual maintenance and depreciation of the server itself.
But he doesn't have to worry about this aspect. Because there is Cerebellum in this area! He only needs to inject spiritual light into Cerebellum, and he can use it without electricity. And Cerebellum's processing power can also overwhelm the entire service computer room.
No one is needed to maintain it.
The telecommunications bureau only needs to provide the network, and the telecommunications bureaus themselves are responsible for this cost. After all, they account for 60% of the revenue.
After negotiating the business and signing the contract, Zhang Cundao waited for the first batch of mobile terminals to go online.
Not long after, on the occasion of the New Year, the telecommunications bureau launched a new communication package and launched a promotion - recharge the phone bill and get a mobile phone for free!
You only need to recharge 1,000 yuan to get a basic mobile phone with a random brand.
If you recharge two thousand yuan, you can get an upgraded mobile phone, and you can also choose the mobile phone brand.
This activity is promoted nationwide. In the Zijin City area, these mobile phones have an inconspicuous program built-in - Mobile Mist Chat!
One thousand yuan is still a big expense for people in this era. After all, everyone's monthly salary is only five or six hundred yuan. It is still very hesitant to spend two months' salary on these bells and whistles.
However, this is a project promoted by the state. The first people to respond to the call are public officials.
First of all, the Zijin City Law Enforcement Department first ordered 20,000 mobile phones for use by front-line law enforcement officers. After all, the coverage of walkie-talkies is still a bit small.
Then some high-income people followed. When the mobile phone rang on the street, those successful people took out their mobile phones and answered them like a showoff: "Hey! Who are you? If you have anything to say, please tell me, I'm very busy."
This gesture naturally makes others envious, because everyone knows that this is a symbol of wealth.
Gradually, some trendy young people are also frugal and save money and buy a mobile phone. With this mobile phone, dye a trendy hairstyle and walk out on the street, then you will be the most handsome boy on the street. Girls will look up to you.
Take a look at you.
The Zijin City area has a population of several million and is also an economically developed area. In one month, 500,000 mobile phones were sold.
This year's New Year's Eve Gala also had several more programs about mobile phones. As soon as this program came out, most of the citizens became aware of this gadget, and the number of people asking about mobile phones also increased sharply.
On Zhang Cundao's side, someone has also opened a "mobile fog chat" service. This service costs six yuan a month. You can use fog chat to chat with others freely, and it can interoperate with computer-side fog chat.
People with mobile phones get to know each other about this software, and then use their phone numbers to add others as friends, and then they can start chatting freely. To be honest, this is more convenient than sending emails and making phone calls! Many people use this software to leave messages for others.
