Chapter 1165 A Friend Comes From Afar

In fact, in many eras, foreign weak technologies have been used for almost as many times. But overall it's not satisfactory. There are some shortcomings of one kind or another.

Foreign businesses actually have several similar characteristics in the early stages of development. The first is that the data card business is the main focus. As a pioneer, the data card business occupies a very important position.

In addition, in Japan and Europe, Wei's enhancement business plays a very important role. Conceptual applications such as video phones, which were expected to be very optimistic at the time, turned out to be very unsatisfactory. Only short video downloads and browsing were unexpectedly successful.

Why is this so? In fact, there is a very important reason here, which is business promotion. In fact, it is not launched out of thin air. Users don't care whether you are % or good. What they care about is the specific business and what kind of experience the users can have.

Therefore, service providers attach great importance to the inheritance and continuity of business to outbound business in order to meet the inertial needs of users and cultivate usage habits. This is unavoidable. Therefore, in the early stages of development, it is unlikely that Mi will reach the top in one step and do these things all at once. Very high-end initial services are launched for users to accept immediately.

In terms of terminals, this kind of data card was the choice, but then there were very big changes. First...concave technology became dominant. Network coverage has also reached 50%, and the number of users has also increased. At this time, the mainstream application is actually mobile multimedia services, which is actually closely related to the development of terminals, because the functions and performance of early mobile phones include. processing capabilities. Application processors are very limited, so for some standard processing and editing code technologies, as well as graphics accelerators for game applications, such technologies cannot meet the requirements.

But at this time, manufacturers began to play a role in solving these problems and using the game to improve the user experience. Suddenly, this business became a very important source of profit for operators. At the same time, many early Internet applications Mobile TV has also begun to appear, and mobile TV has become a very successful application.

Since it is impossible to build a large-scale mobile phone service network in China, although Fan's Investment Group is also doing % mobile phone business, it is basically exported and very profitable. However, Fan Wubing never expected that in In the far west of Africa, people have begun to popularize Mi mobile phone technology.

What a shame! Domestic bureaucrats should indeed reflect on themselves. The monopoly in the telecommunications industry is real. It does not mean that if several companies are split up, there will be no monopoly. This is simply a cover-up!

Fan Wubing was secretly depressed there. Lu Qitong discovered something. She discovered that the production address on the mobile phone package was re-pasted with self-adhesive tape.

So Lu Qingtong took off the sticker very curiously and discovered a fact that made people laugh.

"This is a product of Fan Investment Group.

It's actually produced by the Suzhou factory," Lu Qingtong opened his eyes and said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing took the mobile phone packaging box and looked at it. Sure enough, he was surprised to see the production address stuck on it. He couldn't help but have a very strange feeling, "I always heard that people bought it back when they went abroad. product, I didn’t expect that this time it would be even more outrageous, I actually bought a product from my own factory!”

the next day. The chief of the local tribe arranged a grand welcome ceremony to entertain Fan Wubing and the others. The mining experts and legal experts from Fan's Investment Group also rushed over to join Fan Wubing and the others.

It should be said that everyone was very happy to play here. Apart from the fact that the local beauties are a little too dark to satisfy everyone's aesthetic point of view, there are really no other shortcomings.

The next step is to check out the mines. The main local means of transportation is airplanes. If you look carefully, you will find many private jets, private hangars and private airports. In fact, the airport terminal is like a larger bar. It is entirely for the rich.

Fan Wubing and the others looked down at a large circle on the plane. Rather than looking at the mines, they were looking at the scenery, mainly looking at the wild animals running below.

Then we drove to the mining area to survey. While driving, we could see very clear road signs. Drivers are reminded not to get out of the car. It is said that a few months ago, a Japanese driver was fed to a lion because he had to get off the bus in the middle of the road. So if the car breaks down here, they can only call for rescue. Seeing the locals happily singing in unintelligible Aboriginal languages ​​and driving BMWs speeding on the gravel road, Fan Wubing and the others still feel in their hearts I'm very worried, but BMW is a BMW. After all the abuse along the way, it didn't even have any minor problems.

"It seems that the rumors are still credible. The products bought from China are all low-end products." Fan Wubing is very sentimental. Of course, his opinions are indeed recognized by everyone. The merchant who fooled Xu Xunba will definitely Little Japan is not the only one.

But the good news is that the iron ore here is very cheap because it is very easy to mine. So it is usually piled there in the open air, at least hundreds of millions of tons. The grade of the ore is close to 60% iron content, and the cost per ton is only 25 cents, but transportation is a problem. All costs are basically transportation costs. The iron ore here that originally costs 25 cents costs more than 5 US dollars when transported to the port. After adding the port fee, it costs almost 5 US dollars when leaving the port. When it is shipped to China, it costs more than 20 US dollars. Now the sea freight price is relatively stable. , otherwise the cost will be higher, so transportation is the key issue here.

In order to solve the transportation problem, under the arrangement of the partner, Fan Wubing and the others also met with the relevant railway departments to understand the transportation situation. The railway is the boss in the local area and is very powerful. Generally, foreigners are not very familiar with it. Bird their.

However, unexpectedly, the railway department welcomed Fan Wubing and the others very much. And it can be seen that he is very enthusiastic, far from the style as rumored.

Fan Wubing felt a little curious, so he inquired with the partners. After asking, he found out that these local railways were built by China, and those who worked on the railways were basically soldiers during the country's revolution. Now that the revolution is successful, of course you have to work in the best department. And these people were all trained by Chinese instructors.

Because few Chinese people come here. So when they saw Fan Wubing and others, they all felt very cordial, and a feeling of closeness suddenly arose spontaneously. According to them, they met Chinese friends. Li Xuan thought of his youthful years during the revolution and the era of fighting, so he became passionate.

Fan Wubing was immediately amazed after hearing this, thinking that he looked like the older generation of proletarian active revolutionaries. Back then, we did good things for the descendants of our nation in Africa. Nowadays, the local people still feel so warm to the arrival of the Chinese. They are all taking advantage of the kindness of their predecessors! It is said that many Chinese people died here in order to build railways in Africa, and many iron ore mines were discovered with the help of Chinese mineral experts.

By chatting in this way, everyone's relationship has become much closer, and everyone feels very cordial.

But soon everyone discovered new problems. After a round of fun, the two sides began formal negotiations. Africans are also very familiar with Chinese hospitality tactics. They probably learned them from Chinese instructors back then, and now they are using them on the Chinese. In fact, the Chinese The things that Ren Ming invented were very lethal, and Fan Wubing and the others also found them very useful.

The negotiation arrangement was relatively tight. They prepared several versions of the causes, each with dozens of pages, and it would take a long time to read them all.

Only then did Fan Wubing find out. It turns out that they arrange for customers to play to consume your negotiation time. If you are negotiating for business, your time here will definitely be tight. After coming all the way, there is always a result to explain when you go back, so they take the initiative. They have already consumed a lot of time during the previous visit, and now the time that the customer can use for negotiation is very tight.

However, this did not trouble Fan Wubing and the others. Because Fan Wubing himself is the boss, he does not need to worry about time and cost issues at all. It is best to be able to negotiate a result. If he cannot negotiate a result, it does not matter. Only when the conditions are right, he can Entering the African mining industry.

And there is another point that is unmatched by others, that is, they arrived later than Fan Wubing and others, and there is an expert team of more than thirty people. With these people as their backing, not to mention a few contracts. A few more can be handled.

Therefore, people here in Africa are also very surprised. Basically, the customers they have contacted before can't escape their calculations. I didn't expect that they failed again this time. It's really surprising. It's just based on their expectations of the Chinese. They think this is quite reasonable, especially the understanding of the Chinese instructors who have trained them before. After all, China, a distant country, has many incredible things.

In this way, everyone sat together in a more pragmatic manner, and then bargained carefully to reach a consensus.

Because of the arrival of the expert team, Fan Wubing no longer had to do everything. He took Lu Qingtong and drove an off-road vehicle around the world to see lions, elephants, antelopes, hippos and so on. It was not fun. Very happy.

As for the joint film crew of CCTV and Phoenix Satellite TV. From here, they were divided into three different groups and rushed to film their programs.
