Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 186 Beidou Fishery
"Brother, in Germany, you asked me to choose the best plan, so I chose Gaoping's acquisition plan. It's not a choice, it's just my personal opinion. It doesn't matter to the overall situation. No matter who I choose, it won't matter. Change the pattern, and everyone will still stick to doing their own thing..."

"But I really didn't expect that I would be involved in so much. I also didn't expect to be upgraded inexplicably on the plane to the United States..." He looked at Liu Yining, their eyes met, and they both smiled.

"But that's someone else's choice after all. It doesn't matter who I choose. But this time you asked me to choose a place for myself, and that's my real choice. But I have a problem."

"You still have questions, tell me." The madman smiled with a disapproving expression.

"Why should I choose? I never said I would choose you."

Both Liu Yining and the madman were stunned, "Never choose? Then what are you going to do? Do your own thing? But don't you do things related to these companies? How could you leave these companies yourself? What about development?"

Zhang Yong spread out his hands, the expression on his face looked like a child who was not deeply involved in the world.Suddenly, the angry madman's heart moved, he thought of Zhang Yong many years ago, Zhang Yong who upgraded the equipment in the GPS center, and Zhang Yong who rejected Wei Shao's large sum of money in Tiangong.He suddenly discovered that Zhang Yong had indeed grown a lot over the years, but many things had never changed.

"I'm not in your company now, and all I do are related to you. Since I do the same thing, why do you have to find a boss for me?"

Liu Yining reached out his hand to stop the madman who was about to speak.

"Zhang Yong, if you think about starting your own business, I'm afraid your thinking is too simple. I admit that you are very capable. Whether it is for Zhonghe or us, you have helped a lot. Many of your operations , It can be called a stroke of genius, very remarkable. However, if you think that everything you do is your own ability, then you are probably a little overestimating yourself..."

"These things you have done are actually supported by the platform of Zhongxun and Zhonghe. Your American friend Horton, I am afraid that the price for every service is not low. Don't ask me how I know, When Hertz suddenly delayed my acquisition agreement, I knew there must be a story behind it, so I did some research. Also, no matter how well you operate, it is still Zhonghe who acquired Hertz. It is not you, you can’t do it. The same , Zhongxun got the financing, and you also helped a lot. However, without the platform of Zhongxun, if you want to raise money, you can't get anything...."

"If you want to develop, you need a good platform. Your previous experience with SKydon and Eka helped you obtain a lot of resources, but from the perspective of development, it is far from enough. I only started doing crowdsourcing services in the past few years , but I have worked on Ali's platform for many years before. This is the foundation of my business today..."

"Even if you are only willing to be a small company, I'm afraid you can't help it. Now that the Beidou satellite is in the sky, and the ICD is officially released internally and externally, there will be countless Beidou companies in China, all with the prefix of the country or listed companies. You can't Rapid development, I am afraid that you will be eliminated soon. Now such a good opportunity, everyone welcomes you, it would be a pity if you give up like this.”

The madman laughed teasingly and raised his glass, "What Mr. Liu said is very reasonable, and I have also been taught by the side, I respect you."

Putting down his wine glass, he smiled and said, "But I guess your reasoning failed to convince this guy, and the premise of starting a business on your own may not be right. Zhang Yong understands himself very well. Of course he knows, which platform is better for him if he wants to develop?" Okay. He just has some other thoughts of his own. Am I right?"

Zhang Yong glanced at the madman gratefully, and nodded.

"Mr. Liu, what you said is right, but obviously my brother knows me better. My first official boss should be Xiaowei. I'm sorry, this guy has given some bad influence. I don't know what to do. Wrong, but I like it very much...”

"That is, do what you like. No matter what others think, I am happy, I am willing, and I like it, which is the most important thing. I know this is not good, but I have seen Xiaowei's arrogance in negotiating with others, At that time, I had just graduated, and if I was still a blank sheet of paper, Xiaowei used his behavior to write a heavy stroke on my sheet of paper, which I can't erase until now...”

"But Xiaowei and I are also different. Xiaowei likes the feeling of making money. Whether he is happy or not is calculated by the money he gets in the end. But I like the feeling of doing things. I don't reject making money, but only having money Not enough, I like the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after one thing is done.…”

"So, Mr. Liu, you said that I have done so many things. In fact, I used other people's platforms to do other people's things. But this is exactly what I want. Since I can do things on your platforms, then I Does it make any difference whether to join or not?..."

"My current mediocre studio has been upgraded and has become a mediocre technology. The manufacturing relationship in Kunshan is also closer. Now I have a team, a production line, boards, Zhonghe, chip research, and seniors. On your side, the R&D receiver market, Mr. Liu, I am doing it for Zhongxun. In addition, I have more than a dozen dealers like Li Jian, and I have a lot of things to do. Actually, I don’t want to be independent. Development, but I want to bind with everyone and cooperate more closely. At the same time, I want to maintain a certain degree of freedom.”

Liu Yining still disagrees, "I know that you have made some money these years, so you think you can do what you like without any worries. But even Ma*yun can't do everything according to your own preferences. What do you do now? Since it involves research on board chips, you should know that, first, these things cost a lot of money, hundreds of millions of dollars are invested every year. In the past two years, how have these three companies progressed? If you are not on a big platform, you will not be able to survive at all.”

There was a familiar resolute expression on Zhang Yong's face, "I can try."

Liu Yining shook his head and sighed, as if he was looking at a friend who was about to go to a dead end but couldn't be pulled back no matter what.

The madman caught some more information from Zhang Yong's words.

"You have a lot of things to do? You still have to maintain a certain degree of freedom? Maybe you have some new ideas besides Beidou."

Zhang Yong smiled unnaturally, like a little brother who was caught stealing candy.

"I found a lot of good things at the German exhibition. And I have reached an agreement with a French company. As Mr. Liu said, in the next few years, countless Beidou companies may emerge, and the competition will be extremely fierce. And for me As far as Beidou is concerned, the work on Beidou has reached the point of chips, and it is almost done. I want to do something else."

As he spoke, Zhang Yong took out his mobile phone, and took several photos of the food stall's dining table from different angles.

Then he started the processing program, and after 1 minute, he sent the screen of his mobile phone to the Angry Maniac and Liu Yining, a [-]D model of the dining table that was exactly the same as the real scene appeared on the screen, with Zhang Yong's finger sliding, slowly turning, Display data from any angle.

"I want to do some [-]D modeling. In fact, this is not a very new concept. When I was in Eka, the Eka factory often talked about the concept of Modeling. At that time, I didn't understand it, but now I see it with my own eyes. .This may be a new direction of development, I want to try."

Liu Yining was very interested in this, but quickly put down the phone.

"It's good that you have your own ideas. But let me say a few more words.  …"

"As I said, I was inspired by the two of you and the German when I did crowdsearch. But have you ever thought about it? How long has it been since we first met? Ten years, 15 years? Why after so many years , I just started doing crowdsourcing services. Why didn’t I start the day after listening to your talk?…”

"Because the earliest opportunity may not be the best opportunity. At that time, the hardware and communication facilities were expensive, and the mobile phone network just started GPRS data communication, which is not like the 2G/3G network now. The users and market are not cultivated enough, and the investment circle The level of awareness is far from enough...”

"Zhang Yong, you are really good. Maybe the future is the direction, but now it's not necessarily a good business. Remember the first company in China to make VCD decoders. It cost so much money, it was done early, and it died. It was also early. But after its death, a number of VCD machine manufacturers sprung up and sprouted one after another. Unless you are willing to become a pioneer in the [-]D industry, my suggestion is that you might as well touch this one a few years later.”

The madman laughed, "Mr. Liu, you are too late. I believe you have been unable to convince him. He just said that he likes Xiaowei like Xiaowei. I am happy! Also, do you know how he joined Skydon in the first place? Is it very simple, I will tell him that there is a reference station technology, it is very powerful, you go and see for yourself..."

"He went to see it, and then he was tempted. Then he went to compete for the position of director of the Skydon reference station. I thought that after so many years, he had changed at least a little bit, and he had seen more, and his interest in new technologies had faded. But even I didn't expect him to be exactly the same as he was many years ago. That's okay, shouldn't there be more people like this in the world?"

Liu Yining hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, let's have some more Zhang Yong, let's pay respects to this forever young guy, cheers."

After drinking this cup, Liu Yining said to Zhang Yong seriously: "I can't control what you like to do and which company you go to. But you promised my receiver, I hope it can be launched as soon as possible. The press conference is for you, you Help me close it perfectly."

……

……

Two years later.

In the waters of the South China Sea, a Chinese fishing boat is heading towards the motherland at full speed.On the sea not far away, a coast guard patrol ship of a certain country is chasing after him.

The patrol ship blew its siren siren, and the loudspeaker repeatedly broadcast in English and jerky Chinese, "Listen to the fishing boats ahead, you have sailed into our country's waters, seriously violating our country's laws and violating our country's territorial waters. Now order you to stop immediately , turn off the engine, and go back with us to accept the investigation. If you don’t stop the ship, you will bear the consequences. …”

Although the fishing boat was advancing at full speed, it was no match for the horsepower of the patrol boat, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

In the cockpit of the fishing boat, the boss of the boat is nervously driving the boat.

"Boss, what should we do? It's getting closer."

"Has the Beidou's position been sent back?
"It was sent half an hour ago, and the initial reply was that it would take about an hour for the nearest fishery administration boat to arrive."

"Then let's hold on for another half an hour, they didn't catch up to us so quickly."

After a while, gunshots were suddenly heard on the sea, and the coast guards began to fire warning shots.

"Boss, they shot."

The expression of the boss of the boat seemed to start to relax.

"It's okay, they shot, it means that they sensed a crisis, survive this moment, and we will be free."

Before the words fell, a low but extremely powerful siren sounded from afar, and then a huge hull appeared on the horizon.A Chinese fishery administration ship of at least [-] tons is slowly approaching.

The coast guard patrol ship immediately slowed down, made a circle, and turned back.

On the fishing boat, the fishermen cheered thunderously.The boss of the boat secretly wiped the sweat from his brow, this Beidou positioning is so easy to use.

In the cabinet behind him, there is a Beidou sensor with a flashing indicator light, and a familiar logo on it, Beidou Star Technology.

……

……

At the same time, Zhang Yong came to Beidou Star and was sitting in the office of General Manager Jianhui, listening to Jianhui's talk about Beidou equipment serving pelagic fisheries.

"Did you think Beidou short messages were useless before?"

Zhang Yong nodded, "It has always been. The Beidou generation is just an attempt because it has no practical significance. So I think the designer also knows that our active positioning is not very meaningful, so he added some communication functions to make up for it. As for being too ugly."

"You," Jianhui laughed, "you can see it now, the vast sea, with this function, although it is just simple information, it can solve big problems."

"It's not the same with a satellite phone."

"It's expensive, it's free. Also, if you use a satellite phone to report your location, what should you do if you report an error with such a long latitude and longitude coordinate? The Beidou communication is integrated. After positioning, the location will be sent back directly. It will never be wrong. , wouldn’t it be much more convenient than a phone call.”

"Actually, I don't understand," Zhang Yong asked, "I don't think our fishermen were caught once or twice, and they were all resolved properly in the end. They were locked up for a period of time and released, and we took them home. What is the greatest significance of this Beidou fishing equipment? "

"You are technically proficient, but politically naive. It's not the same if you are caught or not. Even if you are caught, when will we know, it will make a big difference."

"Fishing is becoming more and more difficult nowadays, and fishermen are going further and further away. They may not deliberately enter other people's waters, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the vast sea, and this kind of thing is basically unavoidable. What's more, we have There are already disputes with other countries.  …”

"When this kind of thing happens, what we are most taboo about is that people are arrested. We don't know. After the other party's interrogation is over and they come out with the fishermen's testimony, it will be too late."

"You have seen the interrogation of prisoners in the movie, how stressful it is. What's more, these fishermen are not familiar with the place and the language. The police threaten and intimidate, and the fishermen will admit that they have invaded other people's waters when they are afraid. At that time, we There is no way to coordinate the diplomacy, because we recruited ourselves...”

"The current Beidou equipment, in case of an emergency, immediately sends back the location through the short message function. It would be best if the fishery administration ship can rescue in time. If it is really too late, our embassy can also quickly intervene, and talk to the fishermen before the other party's interrogation Let’s meet. With someone to rely on, the fishermen will naturally not be afraid...”

"As long as there is no confession, matters above the sea are just arguing with each other, and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handle it."

"Wow, I've been taught. It's amazing, it's amazing. But why are you looking for me, just to introduce your Beidou fishery?"

"Of course not. It's not me looking for you, but Dr. Chen Xiaoming. He has something to talk to you about."
