After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it was time to say goodbye to the guests one by one.
Chu Tianyao did not participate, but asked Duan Yongping to attend on his behalf.
In the reception room, Chu Tianyao met Zheng Peng alone.
"There were so many people just now, so it's not convenient for me to elaborate on some things with Brother Zheng."
Chu Tianyao asked someone to make tea and motioned for Zheng Peng to sit down and talk.
Upon hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Zheng Peng immediately became interested, and now he could finally satisfy his curiosity.
"Brother Zheng, does he know why I went to the capital some time ago?"
"Why?"
Before Zheng Peng could serve the tea, he hurriedly asked Chu Tianyao.
At a critical period in the development of Ericsson, Chu Tianyao suddenly disappeared from the world and went to the capital. This incident also made Zheng Peng curious.
"What does Brother Zheng think of the domestic mobile communications field?"
Without waiting for an answer, Chu Tianyao asked Zheng Peng again.
If this question were asked to anyone else, Chu Tianyao would feel that it would be boring, but Zheng Peng is not an ordinary person.
In the eyes of others, Zheng Peng may be just a clothing company owner who started his business in clothing, but in fact Chu Tianyao knows that Zheng Peng is not a simple person.
Being able to see the benefits of the TPS management system written by Chu Tianyao at a glance proves that Zheng Peng's vision and ability are not comparable to ordinary people.
"Mobile communications?"
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Zheng Peng began to think deeply.
"I once attended a gathering and talked about this matter with several big guys from the southern business community. Unfortunately, although everyone is very optimistic about the domestic mobile communications field, there are not many people who really want to start working on it.
indivual."
Zheng Peng said aloud.
These words also made Chu Tianyao's heart move.
Sure enough, the domestic mobile communications field has huge potential, how could business tycoons like Zheng Peng fail to see it?
Chu Tianyao also kept in mind the so-called gatherings mentioned by Zheng Peng, as well as the words "big names in the southern business world".
In his impression, there were probably only a few organizations that could bring together the southern business tycoons.
"The development of domestic communication technology is lagging behind. If you want to engage in mobile communications, you need to invest a lot of money in the early stage. It is not only a matter of money, but also to smooth the relationship with the National Telecommunications Bureau and create a huge technical team.
.”
Zheng Peng glanced at Chu Tianyao, but suddenly reminded him with some sincerity: "Brother Chu, I know you have extraordinary abilities, but it is not as easy as you think to get into this industry in China."
"Even Wang Shitou, who has hundreds of millions of spare cash in his hands, dare not set foot in this industry now. It's not just about money, but more importantly, technology. We don't have such technology at all in our country.
If you want to independently engage in mobile communications...in one word, it's difficult!"
Although he didn't know where Chu Tianyao's confidence came from, Zheng Peng still felt that he needed to remind the people in front of him.
Chu Tianyao also understood Zheng Peng's kindness.
"Brother Zheng is worthy of being a senior in the business world. He really sees things thoroughly."
Chu Tianyao smiled slightly, "I went to the capital this time just to solve the problem that Brother Zheng mentioned."
"oh?
How long will it take for you to solve these problems?"
Zheng Peng glanced at Chu Tianyao, but said with some disbelief: "Don't say it far away, even if you have connections with the superiors, what about the R&D technical team? There are few people engaged in R&D in China, so hire a R&D team abroad.
It costs a lot of money, and it’s not something you can just ask for.”
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. I'm not an aggressive person. The technologies we use are all ready-made. We don't need a huge technology research and development team at all. And using this technology, we can even achieve regional mobile communications. The initial cost is
The cost is lower.”
"What?
Is this true or false?”
Zheng Peng opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
If the technical and cost issues can be solved, this will be a huge advantage.
When Chu Tianyao said this, even Zheng Peng himself was a little moved.
"Of course it's true. Does Brother Zheng know about the Island Telegraph Company?"
“Insular Telegraph Company?
It seems that I have heard something."
Zheng Peng thought for a moment and said.
The Island Telegraph Company has a good reputation in the island country. Although Zheng Peng has heard of it, he does not understand it.
"The Island Country Telegraph Company invented a technology called phs, which can realize regional mobile communications. This technology is mature enough and has been put into use in the island country."
"What?"
When Zheng Peng heard this, he was immediately surprised. He originally thought that Chu Tianyao was just talking, but he never expected that the small island country next door would actually invent such advanced mobile communication technology.
In the 1990s, although domestic businessmen were smart enough, they were still too superficial about foreign knowledge. This was one of the reasons why the initial development of the domestic Internet was so slow.
Those big guys who really emerged were all those who successfully sensed business opportunities from foreign development experiences in the 1990s and were the first to apply them domestically.
"I bought the exclusive right to use the telegraph company's phs technology, hired a technical team from the headquarters of the island country telegraph company, and recruited UT Skanda for joint development. I named the new product PHS. I believe it will not work at most.
In half a year, our new product will be available."
He didn't hide anything from Zheng Peng, and in fact Chu Tianyao didn't need to hide anything at all.
He told Zheng Peng about the idea of the PHS project, and after hearing Chu Tianyao's extremely careful analysis, Zheng Peng's originally somewhat speculative expression turned into an unbelievable shock.
"Hey, Brother Chu has a unique vision. I have seen it as early as the previous Ericsson project. A capable person must be strong. Only those who dare to be the first in the world are brave."
Zheng Peng sighed inexplicably.
Having said that, he is not jealous of Chu Tianyao.
One thing that Zheng Peng adheres to is that he will never make money beyond his own knowledge.
This is true for Ericsson products, and it is also true for the PHS that Chu Tianyao talks about.
What's more, Chu Tianyao has bought out the PHS technology of the island country's telegraph company. If someone wants to plagiarize and imitate, it is equivalent to giving money to Chu Tianyao.
"It seems that we guys are getting old, and the future will be dominated by you Yangtze River wavers."
Zheng Peng drank the tea in the cup and smiled heartily at Chu Tianyao.
"Brother Chu, tell me...you have told me so much today, what is your purpose? Is there any gap in funds that you need my help for?"
Zheng Peng put down his tea cup and asked Chu Tianyao again.
Regarding such a confidential project of PHS, Chu Tianyao told him without reservation. In Zheng Peng's view, Chu Tianyao was cautious, and he might have had other motives for doing so.
"Hey, I can't hide it from you, Brother Zheng."
Chu Tianyao also laughed when he heard this. His little thoughts could not be hidden from Zheng Peng's eyes, so he also expressed his request.
"You want me to help you smoothen your relationship with the Guangdong Provincial Telecommunications Bureau?"
A few minutes later, after hearing Chu Tianyao's thoughts, Zheng Peng clicked his tongue and said.
"Yes, PHS's first target market is Guangdong Province. We use cities as units. For the first batch of products, I want to cover all places above county-level cities in Guangdong Province and achieve 100% local communication.
Seventy coverage.”
Chu Tianyao expressed his thoughts.
And his words made Zheng Peng suddenly fall silent.
"If it's just one or two cities, that's it. You have to rent base stations across the province. Money is a trivial matter. There are a lot of relationships that need to be smoothed out."
Zheng Peng said as if talking to himself.
"Although I don't dare to guarantee it 100%, Lao Zheng and I still have some connections in Guangdong Province. I can only do my best on this matter. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your own abilities."
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Peng finally agreed to Chu Tianyao.
It's just a matter of using personal connections. With Zheng Peng's many years of connections in Guangdong Province, this is actually not too difficult. However, Chu Tianyao has a lot to ask for. Whether he can convince the people at the Telecommunications Bureau depends on him.
.
Not long after.
Chu Tianyao bid farewell to Zheng Peng.
When returning to the reception room, Lu Qiuyu walked to Chu Tianyao's side.
“Didn’t you say that the Chu family was willing to help?
Why are you asking Zheng Peng again?"
Lu Qiuyu asked Chu Tianyao with some confusion.
Chu Tianyao will naturally have to repay the favor to Zheng Peng when the time comes. After all, when dealing with people like Zheng Peng, the financial benefits are easy to say, but the biggest fear is the favor.
"I am not related to the Chu family. Even if it is because I saved Chu Yiren, it is not out of my own heart. Chu Zhongguo said he wanted to help me. In my opinion, it is not that simple.
There should be Lao Chu’s help inside.”
Chu Tianyao said in a deep voice to Chu Yiren.
The Lao Chu he mentioned was naturally referring to Chu Weiguo.
Ever since he learned about the relationship between Chu Weiguo and the Chu family, Chu Tianyao thought about it and still didn't plan to rely on the Chu family's power.
For some reason, he didn't want to owe the Chu family this favor. He always felt that it would be troublesome to repay such a favor in the future.
On the contrary, Chu Tianyao felt much more at ease when dealing with businessmen like Zheng Peng.
If Zheng Peng is on good terms with him, he will naturally try his best to help him in this matter. Even if he owes a favor, Chu Tianyao also knows the weight of this favor. He knows how much and how to repay it.
"You are really strange. You saved someone's daughter, and Director Chu is willing to speak for you and ask the Chu family to help you. In my opinion, isn't this just them returning a favor to you?"
In the reception room, Lu Qiuyu held Chu Tianyao's suit jacket and pouted.
Chu Tianyao did not answer this.
"Mr. Chu..."
Just as the two were about to leave, Duan Yongping, who was wearing a shirt and trousers, led Lu Hongliang and others to find Chu Tianyao.
"I was so busy just now that I didn't even care..."
When he saw that Chu Tianyao was leaving, Duan Yongping said with a hint of apology.
"Don't be so polite with me. I will hand over the branch to you because I believe in your ability."
Chu Tianyao stretched out his hand and patted Duan Yongping's shoulder, glanced at Lu Hongliang and Wu Ying, and then smiled again: "I don't understand technical things. Anyway, Lao Duan will be in charge of the branch from now on. PHS
I don’t need to tell you how important this project is. You should also know that I only give you half a year, and you must see the results within half a year.”
After saying that, Chu Tianyao glanced at Duan Yongping and then led Lu Qiuyu away.
