At noon, Zheng Yaoyang and Lin Defu finished their lunch and returned to their room to take a nap. Their arrival was unexpected and they should give relevant department personnel time to prepare.
After settling them in, Director Luo started to get busy quickly and quickly contacted Huang Rengui from the Communications Bureau and Liu Yaowei, the director in charge of the department.
They do not exclude the entry of foreign communication companies, especially coastal cities, which have always been at the forefront of reform and opening up, and dare to be the first in the world in everything.
As early as the National Games of Guangdong Province in 1987, the cellular mobile communication system had been officially launched, which also marked the arrival of the 1G era in the mainland.
In the past three years, the mainland's communications market has been monopolized by foreign communications companies.
There are a total of eight standard signal models from seven countries, and they have monopolized the entire mainland communications market.
For example, Japan's NEC, Germany's Siemens, Sweden's Ericsson, and the United States' Lucent, etc., are also known as the period of seven countries and eight systems.
The reason why they are allowed to develop wildly is because they don’t care whether they will involve national information security.
On the one hand, it is the communication collection center of each enterprise, which is subject to official supervision.
On the other hand, eight communications companies are engaged in a chaotic war. No one can form absolute market dominance, nor is it a true monopoly.
Moreover, communication companies are fighting fiercely 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 complement each other. They have also experienced the test of the Hong Kong market and gained a good reputation in the market, forming a complete and mature communication system.
If they are introduced, it will inevitably cause a devastating blow to the other eight communications providers.
Once they monopolize the entire mainland market, local communications companies will never be able to succeed.
Whether to introduce Xiangjiang Telecom has also become the main discussion content of the emergency meeting at noon.
Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng were also invited to participate. They are representatives of ZTE and Huawei respectively.
Both companies are state-owned, authorized private companies, and are local communications companies that Pengcheng focuses on supporting.
There are specialties in the art industry, so for some professional matters, you still need to ask professional people for their opinions.
Liu Yaowei asked Hou Weigui: "Mr. Hou, how does the ZX500 produced by ZTE compare with PHS?"
Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng, both of them have always relied on Hou Weigui's opinions primarily and Ren Feizheng's opinions secondary, because strength is the last word.
ZTE developed the first domestic digital switch. Although the market is still dominated by foreign companies, it broke the monopoly of foreign communication technology for the first time.
On the other hand, Huawei was established relatively late and is just a middleman for Chinese and foreign companies, with no outstanding achievements.
Hou Weigui smiled bitterly and said: "Director Liu, you think too highly of the ZX500. The two are not in the same level."
The modified version of PHS technology is a valuable achievement that Zheng Yaoyang spent a lot of money on.
They invested a total of 500,000 before and after ZTE, but they had no money and no one, so how could they compare with their rivals?
Liu Yaowei frowned and asked the two of them: "If we introduce Xiangjiang Telecom now, can we catch up with the other party before the next generation of technology emerges?"
He is more advocating the introduction of Xiangjiang Telecom. The mainland is too poor now and needs someone to help market it.
Even if it means giving up five years, or even ten years, or even fifteen years of benefits, we won’t hesitate.
As long as they can catch up with the next generation of technology, the market that Zheng Yaoyang is making now is just a wedding dress for them.
Hou Weigui fell into deep thought and remained silent.
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 US$5 million to establish a communications laboratory in Tsinghua to specialize in 2G digital communications technology.
"It is said that breakthrough progress has been made and it should be able to catch up with the research and development process of major international communication companies."
"The essence of PHS technology is to simulate 1G signals. Previously, the market agreed that it was a derivative of fixed lines, but after improvements, 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 Xiangjiang Telecom, and Ren Feizheng was always paying attention to the direction of the incident.
After all, Xiangjiang and Pengcheng are too close, and the return date is also confirmed. Once a new product is launched in Xiangjiang, it will inevitably spread to Pengcheng quickly.
After seeing the entire acquisition and subsequent investment, he was not only amazed at Zheng Yaoyang's financial strength, but also felt a little bit confused.
The cost of an analog signal communication base station is as high as 700,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 100,000 US dollars.
At the same price, if it is a general communication base station, at least three can be manufactured.
The cost is so high, either Zheng Yaoyang was deceived, or he had ulterior motives.
Until last month, he went to Beijing and learned that the Tsinghua Communications Laboratory was conquering 2G digital communication technology, and the investor in the project was Zheng Yaoyang.
He clearly knows the importance of 2G technology, but he is still investing heavily in 1.5G technology base stations. Doesn't he know that backward technology will soon be eliminated?
Unless there is some kind of special communication technology in the communication base station costing 700,000 yuan, 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 need to worry about the original base stations becoming useless.
At the end, Ren Feizheng sighed: "Introducing Xiangjiang Telecom, once they develop, before the emergence of 3G technology, they will have no rivals, and it can be said to be an absolute monopoly."
After the words fell, everyone fell into silence. The situation where one company formed a monopoly was the last thing they wanted to see.
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 could be ten years, it could be fifteen years."
2G digital communication technology has been making a lot of noise in the past few years. Every communication provider said that its technology is leading the world, but it has not yet appeared.
What's more, they don't even know the signal format of higher-level 3G technology, so how can they dare to assert it.
The conference room fell into silence again. Director Huang Rengui, who had been silent, 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 they deliberately ignore the benefits of introduction.
Hou Weigui and Ren Feizheng heard the implication, raised their hands and said respectfully: "Director Huang, if nothing happens, we will leave first. If anything happens, you can call me at any time."
After receiving Director Huang's affirmative reply, the two left the conference room and walked out of the office building together.
Hou Weigui asked: "Lao Ren, what decision do you think they will make?"
Ren Feizheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Probably to impose restrictions and then agree to introduce Xiangjiang Telecom."
Even purely Western capital will eventually agree to the introduction as long as there are many restrictions.
After all, the technology is novel enough to meet people's increasing communication needs. It has also been tested by the market in Hong Kong and is worth taking the risk.
What's more, Zheng Yaoyang donated 25 million US dollars in Pengcheng, made a bet on the Pujiang River in the capital city, and received praise from great people in the capital.
His grandfather was Bao Yugang, a famous patriotic businessman who had made many donations to the mainland, and was a friend of the current great man who had known him for many years.
Publicly and privately, he could not 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 a crime of non-war."
Ren Feizheng suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "Not necessarily."
Hou Weigui asked curiously: "What is certain?"
"Mediocre people only disturb themselves."
Ren Feizheng laughed at himself, got into the car, and waved to Hou Weigui: "Lao Hou, please slowly understand."
Why must Xiangjiang Telecom be regarded as an enemy? What qualifications do they have to regard Xiangjiang Telecom as an enemy?
Their attitude was wrong from the beginning.
Because Xiangjiang Telecom is not Siemens, nor Lucent, nor Ericsson.
The telecommunications and PHS models are suitable for Xiangjiang and Pengcheng, but they may not be suitable for all parts of the country.
The underlying technical logic of 1G analog signals limits the development of PHS, and communications can only be profitable in large, densely populated cities.
The mainland is not as developed as Xiangjiang. The current domestic landline penetration rate is only 1.2%, while in Xiangjiang it is as high as 92%, so higher-end mobile communications are needed.
Therefore, there is no direct competition between them and Zheng Yaoyang. On the contrary, the emergence of Zheng Yaoyang has created a new business path for them.
It is impossible for the government to deeply bundle Telecom and PHS, and will inevitably open up the operator's interface.
This also means that they can not only produce landline phones in the future, but perhaps also mobile communicators.
