Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 192 China Mobile
This was the last meeting between Zhang Yong and Gao Lin, and this was an unexpected event with a small probability.

And Zhang Yong didn't see Tiger again, he didn't ask for Tiger's contact information, but left his business card.Obviously, his decision was right, and he never received any more messages from Tiger or Gao Lin.It seems that Skydon's experience is completely over in Tiger's heart, and he doesn't want to have any contact with the old man.

He is just an old man who privately carried chips between China and the United States, and has nothing to do with this circle.Perhaps Zhang Yong was the only person worth seeing during that experience, but it doesn't matter if you see it or not.

Zhang Yong looked at Michelin, wondering if he and Tommy still had contact.But he didn't ask Michelin, children's friendship has nothing to do with adults, let the children get along freely.

In fact, this is a result that Zhang Yong expected in his heart, and it is not an accident.But he saw that Gao Lin seemed to intend to return to the old tiger, and he was a little moved. At least this world is not cold.Good luck to them all.

This chance encounter was just a small episode, and it passed away after seeing it.

At this time, Zhang Yong, thinking about China Mobile and the Beidou receiver, seemed to see a brand new world, and gradually couldn't extricate himself.

Madam is no stranger to Zhang Yong's appearance, knowing that he has discovered something new.After urging his son to finish his homework, he went to rest first.

Zhang Yong went out alone, came to the swing chair in the yard, stared at the starry sky in a daze.

China Mobile's network has covered the whole of China. Even in remote rural areas, almost no fixed-line telephones are installed, but a mobile phone for everyone.

2G/3G services are slowly withdrawing, 4G networks have been fully rolled out, and the number of base stations in the country is probably in units of one million.And Chinese companies represented by Huawei are promoting 5G standards and equipment. It should be within a few years that China's 5G network services will be like 4G, spreading all over China.

The mobile network already has a positioning function, but the accuracy is not as good as GNSS, and the multi-path interference is more severe than GNSS signals. After all, positioning is not its main function, and there are not many researches on this kind of mobile network.

With the development of mobile Internet and the rise of companies like Zhongxun, location-based services are increasingly tied to mobile networks.

Then if China Mobile considers introducing GNSS Beidou receivers into the mobile base station network and binding 4G/5G+GNSS services, Zhang Yong feels that his heart is pounding.The prospect was too good for him to imagine.

He suddenly felt that he was superficial, and he was still that shallow guy.He once used freedom and dreams to describe Skydon's base station technology, which deeply moved Richard and other people.When he ran into Liu Yining on the plane, he realized that Zhongxun seemed to be closer to his standard of freedom and dreams.Today, if mobile networks and high-precision positioning are combined, what is it?
He thought for a while, and said silently, it is freedom, there is no need for dreams, this is absolute freedom.

Thinking of Zhongxun and Liu Yining, he suddenly felt worried.Zhongxun is very powerful, with leading awareness and models, and Liu Yining has a very good ability to attract money, which is impossible for traditional navigation circles.And a good financial situation can help Zhongxun go faster and go further.but……

If Zhongxun is compared with China Mobile, this is not a level of competition at all.If China Mobile wants to provide the same service as Zhongxun, then its competitive advantage is obvious.He decided to talk to Liu Yining.

……

The next day, still in Tutu's coffee shop, sitting across from Zhang Yong was Liu Xin who finally changed his clothes and shoes.

Liu Xin refused Zhang Yong's coffee and asked for a cup of Coke.Only then did Zhang Yong discover that the only reason for meeting each other at McDonald's in Huaqiangbei was that Liu Xin really liked Coke.

"Never drink coffee?"

"No, I used to drink coffee as water, just like I drink Coke now, but I quit later."

"health issues?"

"There are reasons for this, but not all of them."

Zhang Yong looked at Liu Xin with a little curiosity, "I am very grateful, you have come to Beijing. I thought you would never leave Shenzhen. What do you want to do when you go back this time? You will continue to spend time in Huaqiang North." Small business card, do bootleg? Why not keep it. We have other things to do."

"If you have other things, you can contact me again, and you can cooperate at any time. This lifestyle was not chosen by me at first, nor was I willing, but now I like this feeling of freedom. There is nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Yong looked at Liu Xin's somewhat neat hairstyle, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. There is no need to say too polite words among men, but Liu Xin really helped him a lot, and even changed many of his habits.He knows it's all hard to come by.And he has no doubt that when Liu Xin returns to Shenzhen, he will definitely turn back into that sloppy fairy.

"This is the longest cooperation, can you tell me your real name? Is your name really Liu Xin?"

Liu Xin looked at Zhang Yong, drinking Coke through a straw, seeming to use this time to think.

"Of course my name is not Liu Xin, but I can't tell you my name. It has nothing to do with trust. It's not a glorious thing to make pirated chips on the street. My name may not be used anymore in the future..."

"However, I can tell you something about me. If you don't believe me, you can listen to it as a story..."

"I graduated from an Ivy League school in the United States..." Zhang Yong took a breath, knowing that this guy is not easy.

"Later, I worked in a classified research institution in the United States. It was not easy for me to return to China. I paid a price..." Liu Xin suddenly lowered her head and stretched her head towards Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong was at a loss for a while, His first reaction was whether Liu Xin's head was itchy, and asked him to scratch it for him.

Then, Liu Xin parted his hair, and Zhang Yong discovered that there was a long scar hidden in his long hair, which was twisted to show the extraordinary experience of the master.

"That's one of the prices I paid for leaving, along with my pile of burnt papers and my smashed computer.  …"

"So I came back. At that time, it was said that China was making chips. It would be too hypocritical to say that I only serve the motherland. I think more about the fact that I can be useful.  …"

"But the reality is cold, and I'm very disappointed. I also witnessed with my own eyes that some people used chips to cheat and get a lot of money from the government. …"

"In short, I ended up living in Shenzhen and fell in love with Huaqiangbei. Maybe we didn't achieve the career I wanted, but we still found ourselves. That's it."

Zhang Yong picked up coffee instead of wine, "Thank you for your story, I respect you. Although you didn't mention any details, I can imagine the thrilling in your story."

"You're welcome, real stories are always more exciting than literary works. It's a pity that you are just a Beidou practitioner. If you are a writer, one day, I can let you write my story..."

He interrupted Zhang Yong's conversation with a wave of his hand, "It's almost time. The car I called has arrived, so I'll leave first. Feel free to contact me if you have anything to do..."

"Remember, I've done what you want me to do. But the specific effect later depends on the improvement of your senior brother's algorithm. At present, it is not very ideal, so I advise you, don't rush to market, of course..."

Liu Xin suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter if you insist on taking it out to embarrass yourself, no one knows my name, and will not blame me for the failure of the product."

Zhang Yong also smiled and said: "It's a pity, if I want to know your name, I will definitely engrave your name on every receiver. Let's have a smooth journey. I'm tired of being bored in the south, so I come to Beijing to relax. Tang Liwei and the others adore you." Incredible. You are always welcome."

"Let's find me if you have anything to do. I'm not tired of staying. I have a studio, a bed, and a cup of Coke. It's enough for me. It's the same everywhere. Let's go, goodbye!"

After seeing off Liu Xin, Zhang Yong refilled another cup of coffee, and then waited for Liu Yining's arrival.

"Zhang Yong, hello. You called me over from Shanghai. If it's not good news, I'll never end with you. Tell me, is your receiver ready?"

Zhang Yong was a little embarrassed, "The receiver is indeed ready, but it still can't be used. There is no problem with the hardware, and the APP is also very good, but the performance of the chip itself needs to be improved. What do you drink? Latte?"

Liu Yining sat down and took away the Coke cup in front of him, "Okay, let's have a latte, whose Coke is this?"

Liu Yining drank his own coffee, "Your progress is actually OK. I went to Big Dipper and Compass, and they are actually similar to your progress. Dual-frequency chips and boards have begun to take shape, but the performance is not stable. Some These indicators are very poor.  …”

"Looking at it now, you probably won't lose or win the bet you made in Germany. The progress of these three companies is almost the same. It's hard to say who is faster. But looking at it now, I guess it will take about a year and a half to tell your winner. "

Zhang Yong said: "Then let me tell you some good news, we may be faster than them, I think half a year will be enough."

Liu Yining did not show a particularly excited expression, "Thank you, I am very pleased. But you have nothing to be proud of. I don't really understand what you are researching, but I still know that you have taken a shortcut. I only hope that the shortcut is not cutting corners. "

"Of course not, I just took a shortcut."

"That's good, what are you looking for me for?"

"Have you heard about China Mobile?"

"Oh, you said this, no wonder you are so cautious, this is indeed a big deal."

"You know?" Zhang Yong was a little strange.

"It's strange if I don't know. China Mobile has already begun to contact domestic and foreign manufacturers. If I guess correctly, in the next year, there will be many seminars and strategic cooperation agreements will be signed with multiple manufacturers. ..."

"By the way, how long has it been since you saw your senior brother?"

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled, "I don't know how long, but I saw it now." He pointed to the door, Liu Yining turned around, and an angry figure was pushing the door and walking in.

"I'm dying of thirst, coffee, and another bottle of water." The angry maniac sat down and gave Zhang Yong an order directly.

"Design, wait a moment, you." Zhang Yong took the order and left.

Liu Yining turned to the angry madman, "Professor, your younger brother said that his work has been done very well and has been completed. Now your research and development progress is lagging behind, which affects the launch of our receiver, is that true?"

The angry madman was furious, "Hey, Zhang Yong is lawless, he dares to talk nonsense about everything..." Then he changed the subject, "But he is right. It is our problem."

Liu Yining smiled helplessly, "Is the progress really so slow?"

"No, according to our current practice, it is actually very fast. But the later part is the time-consuming part, the real work, repeated testing and polishing, and upgrading versions one by one. This month, we have upgraded four versions. But Still not enough."

Zhang Yong took back the coffee and water.

"Brother, do you know about China Mobile?"

"Not only do I know that this return to Beijing is not only for you, but also related to this matter."

"Oh?" Zhang Yong asked, "What's the matter?"

"It seems that you haven't contacted Master Zhao for a long time?"

"Huatai is now on the market. He is very busy. I haven't seen him for a long time. Besides, he is also a big figure on the cover of GNSS World. I'm sorry to make a fuss."

"Tch, princes and generals, it's better to have kindness. The bigger the person, the more we have to climb high, haha."

After a few people laughed, they were furious and said: "China Mobile established a communication plus Beidou positioning alliance, and Huatai joined as a Beidou company at the first time. Tomorrow is the partner conference. As usual, I will replace Academician Zhu and represent M University to participate .It seems that you have been busy with your own research recently, and you haven’t paid enough attention to external affairs. What do you think about this?”

"At the first moment, I had two thoughts. First, the prospects are immeasurable, and the future is too bright. Second, will our President Liu be in trouble?"

Liu Yining laughed, "That's why you asked me out? Professor Liu, I have to say, you are really a good friend."

Angry and mad, he said: "Little Zhang Yong has always been a good friend. However, his worries are not unreasonable, Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"Thank you both for your concern, but I don't care too much about it yet."

"Oh, why?" The brothers and sisters were all interested in this.

"First, the progress of this matter may not be as fast as you imagined. If domestic receivers do not solve their own chips, I am afraid there is no chance. So at least for two years, I don't have to worry about it. And two years later, the popularity of 5G How is it? It's hard to say..."

"Second, you only see the power of China Mobile, but you don't realize that they have their own disadvantages. It has always been their idea to expand their business on their own network. They have made communication software, but now, you all I’m using WeChat. Few people remember the kind of things they made. So in the end, providing services does not depend on how powerful you are, but also on the professionalism of the service. The professionalism of Zhongxun is now in China. Mobile can't compare."

Zhang Yong interrupted him: "But China Mobile does not rely on itself alone. They have formed an alliance and held a partner meeting to bring these professional companies together to do things."

Liu Yining said with a smile: "It's an alliance formed by a group of people who are at odds with each other. How capable do you think it is? The companies in the alliance are all competitors. At critical moments, they will only count who can sell more receivers to China. Mobile, whoever gets the bigger share..."

"These companies are of course professional, but they have always been there, and have never affected Zhongxun's business. Now I am not only dealing with China Mobile, the Eastern company is building its own website, and Tencent is also joining in. They pass The companies under it have also begun to enter this business. This is a competitive world, and this pressure will always exist.  …”

"What?" He looked at Zhang Yong's expression, "You don't believe me?"

Zhang Yong didn't hesitate, "I think what you said has some truth, but it seems that all the truth is unimportant when it comes to the size of China Mobile. I can't predict the future, so I won't say much..."

"If you are not worried at all about China Mobile's involvement in GNSS positioning, then is there any related matter that you can foresee now, worry about, and have an impact on the future?"

"This," Liu Yining became serious, "Of course there is, and it's very important."
