this man is not calm

Chapter 304 Prepare for a rainy day

The emergence of mobile local phone services is not a matter of course. The popularization of "Personal Smartphone" in the previous life was a last resort attempt due to a combination of various factors.

Every great success that exceeds common sense must have been unexpected by no one in advance. Looking for various reasons later is just hindsight and is not worth it.

In 1996, the situation in this world was completely different. PHS technology was already recognized as a backward technology, and no one was optimistic about it. There was even no startup company like UTStarcom to promote it. Grandpa doesn't love me, grandma doesn't love me, and I'm a despised rag.

As for technical preparations, this technology is actually quite mature, and its performance is quite eye-catching in places such as stations, KTVs, large hotels, public venues, city halls and centralized business districts.

As long as it is in an area with good signal, the transmission rate of handheld mobile local phone equipment is faster than that of mobile phones, and cellular base stations have advantages that mobile communications do not have, that is, large network capacity, stable switching, and extremely low power area Hotspots can ensure that a large number of users are online at the same time.

This is not an era when 2G is popular. If we insist on PHS technology, the signal penetration is poor and calls are unstable. In fact, mobile phones are not much better. In major cities, compact and lightweight mobile phones have become more popular with superior performance. In central and western cities and small counties below the third tier, there are many local bosses with mobile phones on their waists, and salesmen who use pagers to assist in contact work.

At least at the moment, the shortcomings of mobile local calls are not so obvious against the backdrop of also immature mobile communication technology, but the advantages of high quality and low price are eye-catching.

After sending Zheng Liangzhi away, Jin Shang wrote down the important matter of "promoting and confirming mobile local calls as a supplement and extension of fixed phones" in a private memo, and began to think about how to proceed so that Hao Qilian could completely stand on his side. The trial operation of PHS technology is positioned as a "useful attempt".

Jin Shang listened to Zheng Liangzhi's warning.

"There's no rush. The harder you try to catch it, the faster it slips away. When dealing with basic operators, you have to be patient." 』

Relying on Jin Shang and Jinxi Culture's strong push is not effective at all. You must understand the other party's internal interest pattern, take advantage of the situation, and take action at the critical moment to get the desired results.

"I hope... everything goes well. 』

Although it is not starting from scratch, it is not easy to break the ice in PHS operations.

"Formally setting foot in the core field of mobile communications, success is like overcoming a catastrophe and ascending to the top, becoming a registered strategic support enterprise. Failure to do so will severely damage your vitality. Hardware investment is indeed a big money burner! 』

"I hope that the dual insurance of being an entrepreneur and "gold finger" will allow me to successfully develop my ambitions!" 』
-

After entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After the noisy college entrance examination season, everyone's attention is on students filling out their applications and the enrollment competitions of major colleges and universities.

Not to mention the distant ones, in the next six months, promoting the trial operation of mobile local calls in three districts in western Beijing will be one of the company's most important matters.

This result made Jin Shang feel relieved. At the same time, he sent an email to Beichuan Electromechanical and asked them to contact upstream and downstream hardware manufacturers on their behalf to prepare for the next big move.

Fortunately, Jin Shang is a local, and his father and ancestors still have some connections, so he won't be completely unable to find opportunities.

"In other words, the "Golden Finger" feedback that my decision was correct, but there were too many uncontrollable factors. How beneficial it is depends on the specific operation process. 』

Judging from the performance of "Golden Broom", it seems that the feedback is tending to be positive, but the effect is not yet stable.

Like the trial operation of the ADSL high-speed network, the PHS strategy is also a very important route choice. They form the wings for Beijing West’s culture to take off.

Beijing Normal University invited Jin Shang, as a past outstanding alumnus, to attend the graduation ceremony. Because of his busy schedule, he really had no time to attend.

Fortunately, Jin Shang has determined the route, and the next step is to implement it.

The two parties have a series of cooperation, and there is also fierce competition between PHS Chat and Fetion. In terms of PHS mobile local phone business, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a competitor or a partner.

"The preparation and development of PHS technology... no, let's call it PHS. The deployment of cellular base stations, the manufacturing and sales of handheld mobile devices, the bundled preferential packages, etc. are all difficulties that need to be overcome one by one. 』

Since we are deeply involved in the Internet industry, network speed, stability, convenience of networking and tariffs are undoubtedly top priorities.

If it weren't for the gains, the listed company of Beichuan Mechanical and Electrical would have collapsed long ago, and Jinxi Mall would also be dragged down.

I have been working on an Internet cultural and creative enterprise for more than a year, but the total investment has not exceeded 500 million. This is still counting the loan financing. But in the field of hardware, the total sales of the game console Venus in the first half of the year exceeded 2.5 billion. Various coupons and gifts were paid, which amounted to more than 300 million.

During this period, several development projects cooperated by Jinxi Culture and the School of Computer Science were delivered and settled, and several industry-university-research pilot projects were launched.

It can be seen that companies without strength cannot afford to play in real industries such as home appliances, consumer electronics, and large electromechanical equipment.

Hundreds of millions or billions are invested at every turn. Once a major mistake is made in a certain decision, bankruptcy and liquidation are imminent.

Not only that, there were also several job changes, and professional talents who had been "missed" by Jinxi Culture were recruited, which was really surprising.

Whether it can be retained in the future is another matter. At least the current Jinxi culture is no longer the unknown of last year. It is also slightly more attractive to college graduates and even students from prestigious schools.

Entering the second week, it was Sunday again. Jin Shang took his girlfriend home to see his parents and younger brother. With the help of two live-in nannies and the housekeeper Lao Bian, Jin Shi and Mei Xinghong were not in a hurry. However, their ability to take care of children was really unflattering.

The father, who had obviously lost weight, couldn't help but sigh:

"Ah Shang, I was careless. You obviously didn't bother people like this when you were a child. Do you know? In the past half month, I haven't had a good night's rest. I cry every two or three hours and can't beat or scold. , I don’t know how to make Xiao Jinfeng calm down.”

Mei Xinghong, the mother who was also a little haggard, said calmly after changing her little son's diaper:

"I have said it several times and let Guifeng and Que Sheng watch. Don't interfere too much. You have to show off and ask for trouble."

"Stop talking about me. You're not much better. You insist on doing it yourself because you're afraid of being too unfamiliar and not getting close to me in the future."

I'm afraid Jin Shang's "learned from the past" was so profound that Mei Xinghong was always thinking about her youngest son. As long as he woke up, she didn't want to let herself out of sight.

Although having a baby is indeed a wonderful thing, taking care of it is a bit troublesome.

Jin Shangke didn't want to get involved in such issues, but changed the topic and asked:

"Where's grandma?"

"Go and stay at a friend's house for a few days."

Jinshi replied,

"It was warm for a few days at first, and then it became a bit nerve-wracking. Now, I come back from time to time to see my grandson. Once I feel satisfied, I won't stay any longer."

"Hey……"

Mrs. Xian is indeed an interesting person. Like Jin Shang, she understands the principle that distance creates beauty.

Looking at Xiao Jinfeng's rosy little face, Jin Shang took it and pressed it on his delicate skin, but it didn't make him react. It looked like he was sleeping deeply.

"What should I do with the full moon wine in late afternoon?"

"Just ask your relatives to get together, there's no need to make a fuss about it."

As Jin Shiru said, Mei Xinghong had no intention of objecting.

"That's fine, just let your own people have fun. Then... the hundred days will be a little simpler, you don't have to do too much." There are only a few people in Lao Jin's family, and there are not many in-laws left in the capital. As for It's better not to have close friendships with the people of Lao Huang's family. It's enough to maintain basic decency and communication.

If the Jin family father and son came from some small place, they might be able to play a drama of returning home in fine clothes. Unfortunately, they are all natives of the old capital, and their ancestors were all prominent figures. However, they have declined in recent generations. They have no shame to worship their ancestors and brag, and they still There is no such thing as a glorious lintel.

"Today's young people don't pay much attention to it. It's enough for the family to be reunited and safe."

Mei Xinghong also has a relatively cold temperament, and her relationship with her brothers is not very close, but she gets along well with her nephews and nieces.

Turning around, seeing Li Xuan looking at Jin Feng very enthusiastically, Mei Xinghong asked strangely:

"Xiao Li... rarely see babies?"

"That's not the case, I'm just a little strange. Was Ashang like this when he was a child?"

"If you say that..."

Hearing this, Jin Shi looked at Jin Feng, then looked at Jin Shang's face, nodded in agreement,

"They still look very similar, but there are some differences. At this time, Ashang was not as good-looking as Xiao Feng now."

"After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are saying that I was ugly when I was a child, right?"

"You can't say it's ugly..."

Jinshi replied tangledly,

"According to traditional aesthetics, you really didn't have any signs of being handsome before you entered elementary school. Even now, Dai Yiqin's face shape and masculine 'bones' beauty can be called handsome. As for you... …The face is a little rounder, and when he was young, he could be described as childish and enthusiastic, but in the future...it may be difficult to reach his level.”

"Lao Dai, it's God who feeds me, so I can't accept it. I have this... look that can be said to be blessed. From now on, the baby fat will be completely gone, and I will become a bit tougher. I'm not exactly beautiful, but I'm pretty good anyway." The handsome guy above, right?"

"You... just feel good about yourself."

Patting his son on the shoulder, Jinshi sighed and said,

"Measure it by the standards of ordinary people or entrepreneurs, it is indeed good, but by the standards of celebrities, it is just so-so. In the future... you still have hope, don't grow crooked, there is still room for improvement. "

"You guys have been spoiled by Lao Dai."

Jin Shang retorted unconvinced.

In the future, when those bad guys and ghosts will appear in droves, Internet celebrities who pretend to be ugly and good will become popular, and all kinds of "technical faces" will flood the screen, we will know how good a "purely natural" handsome guy like Jin Shang without the blessing of filters is. It’s rare.

After chatting and laughing, after a pleasant lunch, mother Mei Xinghong took Jinfeng to take a nap, Quesheng cleaned up the kitchen, Guifeng and Li Xuan took their two shepherd dogs out for a walk, Jin Shi and Jin Shang father and son People drink warm tea and talk about more serious things.

"I heard that you want to join forces with Hao Qi again to make a big move?"

"There is such a thing, but...it hasn't been decided yet."

"You, if you start a business that makes 10 million yuan, you will 'reward' yourself by setting up a 'side business' with an investment of 20 million yuan. If this continues, the pressure on the company will remain high. Tell me honestly, Jinxi Culture's What is the debt ratio now?”

"The official data is 24%..."

"Actually, can we stop if it doubles? Is it more than 50%?"

Jin Shang remained silent and did not answer. Jin Shi understood, and then sighed:

"You are playing with fire. I know you have the 'Golden Broom' to protect you, and you are very capable, but... no matter what you do, you must leave room for it. Many risks are not always there. It’s just that I was careless and gave others an opportunity to take advantage of me.”

When running a business, it is inevitable to be in debt, and the business world will rise and fall. It is not uncommon to see cases of overturning. When the risks are visible and tangible, it is already too late.

"That mobile local call, do you have to do it?"

"I'm... looking for opportunities, looking for a truly stable and golden sign."

"Aren't the Internet and Beichuan Electromechanical enough? Game consoles are hard to reach the level of elegance, so mobile phones are not bad, right?"

"It's just an assembly plant. It's still far from self-research and development. And..."

Jin Shang replied calmly,

"The essence of the Internet is actually very fictitious. The reason why it has the name of 'high technology' is that few people understand it now and there are only a few practitioners. When network engineers are called 'code farmers', this industry is highly competitive and the industry is in the period of dividends. What will happen in the past?”

All pragmatic industries will either use their dominant position to cut leeks, or they will go the way of financial companies and never return.

"I once heard a joke. What will happen to an invisible and intangible thing like the Internet? There are thousands of roads. In the end, it only serves to build financial channels. It either lends itself or becomes an auxiliary tool for lending. .”

"Are you saying that the Internet will not be considered high technology in the future?"

Jin Shang smiled and said:

"Industrial textiles, coal, steel, and energy and chemical industries were once regarded as unattainable high technologies. What about now?"

Jin Shi was speechless, and Jin Shang continued to explain:

"In the future... I will be very rich, much richer than you imagine. At that time, we, father and son, will need to explain to the general public why we can make so much money."

"Those are all legal gains obtained through hard work. What's there to be taboo about?"

"It's indeed legal, but...is it really hard work? Then again, who doesn't think it's hard work to make money?"

Legal, but is it reasonable?

This is the key word emphasized by Jin Shang.

After all, there is only one problem.

Why?

"Someone told me that capital's instinct to grab profits is irresistible, but no one said what its ultimate goal is..."

"Wide... the gap between the rich and the poor? Or... strengthen the relationship of dependence?"

"Okay, let's not discuss this topic in depth. It's pointless."

Jin Shang waved his hand and said casually,

"I have no desire to be the 'light of domestic products' or the 'conscience of the industry', nor do I need to do any 'golden body' planning, but... don't let yourself become the target of public criticism, PHS technology and subsequent telecommunications technology... Quite sufficient!”
