Chapter 1270 A Brief Discussion on Mobile Communications
The next morning, Yang Dongxu entered Zhongnanhai. When he was first reborn, he was full of curiosity and yearning for this place, and even had some fear.
But as I came more often, I gradually felt that this place was not as mysterious as the legend said. The people who work here are not superhuman beings as imagined, but ordinary people of flesh and blood, and they even work harder than ordinary people.
When Chen Weimin called him and asked him to go back to Yanjing, he thought that Chen Weimin was discussing international affairs with him. For example, on the oil issue in the Middle East, he was undoubtedly better able to speak than the Wei family.
But what he didn't expect was that none of his previous guesses were correct. Chen Weimin asked him to come over to talk about the mobile communication company.
Perhaps his previous move to sell the world's mobile phone giant in exchange for communication technology was so big that the higher-ups noticed and wanted to talk to him.
Or maybe it’s the explosive growth of the ring tones business in the past. Its profit speed and profit model are so subversive that a song can be sold for more than ten yuan, which is more expensive than an ordinary genuine CD.
What's even more bizarre is that the right to use it is only for one month. If you want to use it after one month, you have to pay again. This is no longer making money, it is simply stealing money.
But so many people came to Yang Dongxu's door to snatch it, so this made many people jealous. It's not like there haven't been some strange voices during this period. Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts, let alone so much money.
"I asked you to come here this time because I want to ask you face-to-face about the construction of communication base stations. Judging from your international performance during this period, it seems that you care more about communication technology than the research and development of mobile phones.
And currently Dongxu Technology is said to have some patents for 3G mobile phones. In recent years, the growth rate of domestic mobile phone users has exceeded everyone's previous expectations, so the construction of base stations cannot be delayed. "Chen Weimin motioned Yang Dongxu to sit down and said directly without any gossip.
The construction of base stations seems to be a problem of the major mobile communication operators themselves, but in fact it is also a national problem. Not to mention that these communication companies are basically state-owned enterprises.
Base stations are not only for civilian use, military base stations also need to keep up with technological changes. Therefore, we must be very careful in this regard.
"I do have some ideas in this regard." In front of Chen Weimin, Yang Dongxu had nothing to say or be tactful, and said directly: "In fact, most people's views on base station construction are wrong.
Many people feel that although the construction of base stations involves a huge investment, it is a project that will benefit them for life. This is true to a certain extent. After all, as long as you have a mobile phone, you must use the signal tower of the base station.
But many people ignore the issue of mobile phone network upgrading. For example, when mobile phones were first released, they did not even use a 1G network.
A few years ago, everyone thought that 2G mobile phone signals were very powerful. However, within a few years, 3G signal networks were about to become popular.
Therefore, the previous base station will not be mentioned for the time being due to the limitations of vision. Should we consider the subsequent upgrade of 4G or even 5G for the newly established base stations?
Can't as soon as the mobile phone communication here is upgraded, the base station over there will have to be rebuilt, right? This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and consumes a lot of money. It also slows down the pace of technological innovation. "
"That makes sense. You are the major shareholder of Dongxu Technology. Do you think 4G will be available soon after 3G?" Chen Weimin nodded and looked at him.
“I can only say that although Dongxu Technology has only mastered part of 3G technology, it has begun to move towards the research and development of 4G technology.
Not only Dongxu Technology Company, but also the communication giants in the world have more or less achieved some research and development achievements in 4G technology.
You also know what is happening in foreign countries. If they have something that we don’t have, then they will desperately add money and sell it to us at a high price until we can develop it ourselves.
They started to cut prices like crazy again, trying to dominate the market. This will make it impossible for companies that invest in R&D to make a profit, thus strangling the seedlings of our R&D.
So as soon as Dongxu Technology made a breakthrough in 2G technology, they immediately announced that they would upgrade mobile phone communications to 3G. But what they didn't expect was that Dongxu Technology had caught up with them in 3G technology and sat at the bottom of the cake table.
Therefore, according to their nature, if they do not have stronger technical reserves, they will definitely fight with Dongxu Technology on 3G, and it is not impossible to forcefully acquire it.
But now, although these companies are targeting Dongxu Technology everywhere, they also seem to be very reluctant to swallow Dongxu Technology. But when Dongxu Technology invested huge amounts of money in the research and development of 3G technology, they used all kinds of intimidation and threats on the surface, but secretly they were letting things slip a little. "
Speaking of this, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously this is a huge conspiracy. Each of these international giants are also human beings. This is a double act. On the surface, those who should suppress Dongxu Technology should still suppress it. After all, suppressing Dongxu Technology is equivalent to increasing its market share and making more money.
But secretly they are setting up a trap for Dongxu Technology to focus on developing 3G technology, while they are already quietly preparing for 4G.
Since upgrading from 2G to 3G has not harmed Dongxu Technology, let's bury you deeper and deeper in the big pit of 3G, and then use 4G to cover your head.
Of course, there must be some arrogance and arrogance among these international giants, otherwise Dongxu Technology would have no chance of survival.
After all, these foreigners are used to China's backwardness. Although the sudden emergence of Dongxu Technology Company surprised them, no one believed that this company could challenge them in the current top 4G technology.
Dongxu Technology's 3G technology may be a variety of theft and piracy, and only with the full support of the Eastern country can they see their backs. In their view, 4G technology is a natural barrier, and it is impossible for a company in this Eastern country to successfully develop it, so they will do such a double act.
Facing the other party's ridicule and contempt, it would be a lie to say that he is not angry. But Yang Dongxu knows the importance of secretly developing himself. After all, the arm is really not as good as the thigh now. If these foreigners are shameless, he really can't stand it.
Of course, it is too early to talk about 4G, let alone 5G. At present, although 3G is constantly shouting internationally and the technology is quite mature, it is still a long way from popularization.
After all, although mature technology can be put into practical use, it will take some time for it to be popularized. If I remember correctly, there were constant news reports about the popularization of 3G technology in the last life, but it was not until 2009 that this technology became popular in China.
Even if his existence would greatly advance the popularization time, it would be a very smooth prediction to use it in 2006 because of the long time required to build base stations and the various modifications and corrections in the actual application of the technology.
However, the transition from 3G to 4G in the last life was not long. In 2009, 3G was popularized in China, and in 2014, 4G was applied in China.
So if you say that the domestic communication giants did not have 4G technology hidden in their hands when upgrading 3G, no one would believe it.
Although the speed of mobile phone upgrades is not as frequent as that of smartphones, there is almost a new model every year. But whether it is Nokia or Motorola, even after the streamlining of the big brother mobile phone, several models have been upgraded.
Therefore, it is certain that the other party wants to put Yang Dongxu in the 3G pit, start to develop 4G communication with a certain technical foundation, and then give him a fatal blow.
"What do you think of the current domestic mobile phone manufacturers?" Chen Weimin asked after a pause.
"They are basically all mobile phones that are eager to show off. Some of them had some technology at the beginning, but now they basically focus on how to make money. The technology they have is actually outdated over time.
So most mobile phones only focus on the outer shell of the mobile phone, and how fashionable and beautiful the design is, but the internal component technology is still the old model of a few years ago, but with the innovation of international technology, the size of the components has been reduced a little." Yang Dongxu said very bluntly.
To be honest, he has no opinion on these domestic mobile phone manufacturers. In the era of smart phones, there are still a few domestic mobile phone companies that have learned from their mistakes and worked hard on their internal strength, and finally rose to become international brands.
And now mobile phone manufacturers basically have loud advertising and magnificent decorations on the outside, but there are no exceptions to the internal dregs.
Even some mobile phone brands established by advertising are not as good as some small factories and miscellaneous brands of knockoff mobile phones. Of course, let's be honest, let's put aside the knockoffs. The functions of some knockoff mobile phones are indeed powerful.
Let alone the domestic mobile phone manufacturers with inadequate technology, even those international giant mobile phone manufacturers cannot compete with the copycat phones in terms of complete functions, which are so arrogant.
However, the current copycat phones are destined to be short-lived, just like the current prosperous mobile phone manufacturers in China. It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated without core technology.
Once the smart phone came out, the technical threshold was instantly raised to a new height. Copycat phones died instantly, and only various mobile phone parts were left to assemble some big-name mobile phones to make a living.
And domestic mobile phone manufacturers basically all went bankrupt, except for one or two manufacturers that relied on technology to go overseas to backward countries and regions, which was considered to be a different way to survive. The three domestic smart phone giants began their arduous rise during this period.
First, they were beaten by fast-transforming mobile phone giants such as Apple and Samsung, and finally began to catch up, making the two big and second-largest companies in the smart phone market complain bitterly.
We talked in Chen Weimin's office for more than an hour, which was the longest time Chen Weimin could spare. After all, he is in charge of industrial work now, and his daily schedule is full.
After the negotiation with Yang Dongxu, he had to rest for five minutes before meeting with a representative of a foreign delegation.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight." Chen Weimin said when he left.
"Come on, you look like you have to work overtime tonight. Every time I go to your house for dinner, it's just me and my sister-in-law. When you retire, I will go to your house for dinner again." Yang Dongxu waved his hand and teased.
The assistant who came in to inform Chen Weimin to prepare to meet with foreign representatives kept looking at him sideways. I don't know which young man he is, but he has such a good relationship with Boss Chen.
