this man is not calm

Chapter 310 Let’s get started
As long as you are willing to invest and relevant parties are willing to cooperate, the mobile local phone business can be promoted very quickly.

Since it is a backward technology that is about to be eliminated, it means that it is very mature, and its application scenarios and operating models are all ready. In the past, outlets were only deployed in airports, stations, open-air squares, parks and scenic spots, etc., as a supplement to the fixed-line network. On trial.

There is no precedent at home or abroad to raise it to cover the city's main hot spots and build it as a system project that keeps pace with mobile communications.

After a brief discussion and deciding on the key points for replying to the inquiry letter, Jin Shang, Yang Qi and others each had different ideas on key issues related to success or failure.

Operations and technology development are two different directions. For the current Jinxi Culture, it is unrealistic to devote all its energy to research and development. The manpower and material resources cannot keep up. For the time being, it can only use commercial promotion, recruit talents and establish a scientific research team for the future. prepare for.

"It is not difficult to manufacture microcell base stations. There are ready-made manufacturers that can produce them. The technology is semi-public. As long as you are willing and make some improvements, you can make it yourself. Handheld wireless phones are even simpler. We can even make mobile phones. Although it is mainly based on assembly, we have a foundation after all. As for the retail price of the equipment, it is best to control it within one thousand yuan."

Jin Shangru said.

The price of old-fashioned mobile phones on the market is not cheap, and the latest pocket phones are even more expensive. Of course, this price is much cheaper than Jin Shang's previous life. In the final analysis, it lies in the stronger strength of domestic basic operators, and imported mobile phones cannot be sold at high prices of 10,000 to 20,000.

Judging from the data obtained by Hao Qilian, there are currently more than 5 million mobile phone users in the country, and the growth rate is huge. However, the base is too low, and we cannot expect too much in a short period of time.

If the price of PHS exceeds 1,000 yuan, or the phone bill is too expensive, promotion will be difficult.

Seeing Jin Shang's face looking a little weird, Yang Qi really didn't know what was wrong.

"What is the frequency band allocated by the operator?"

The caller is charged, that is, you have to pay to make the call, while the called is free, which means there is no charge to answer the call.

"Of course, it's not without its shortcomings."

"That's it."

Yang Qi looked at Jin Shang's expression, but there was no clear expression. He relaxed a little and continued to add,
"Mobile local phone is a pseudo-wireless communication technology based on PHS technology. It requires very high density of base stations. Once the signal is poor, it will be impossible to use it because it is just a brick. In addition, taking the route of high quality and low price will inevitably As a result, the configuration is simple and the functions are single. It is easy to be squeezed out of the mainstream market when the price of mobile phones decreases in the future..."

It can be intuitively judged that PHS technology is likely to occupy high-quality spectrum in the future and have an impact on 3G development.

The above expressions are almost the original words of PHS technology and mobile local calls.

"According to the tariff standard of the local telephone network, it is 20 cents per minute, which is indeed very cheap. The relatively expensive mobile phone tariff package is very attractive; its standby time is more than ten days, which is very good. What is even more rare is that the fixed-line and mobile phone Communication is different, it’s a one-way charge.”

Jin Shang, who was sighing in his heart, had to think more. The exit of PHS in the previous life may not only be unable to compete with wireless communications, but also most likely because the frequency band of mobile local calls was diverted for other projects.

"Is this frequency band bad? I consulted and found that there is currently no interference and it will not have any impact."

"It's too early to talk about competition before it's even launched on the market. Let's make a good start first. We'll worry about the future later. Things like PHS technology have been popular for five years and have made a lot of money. Ten years can be considered an unexpected blessing. Ten years Five years is the limit, we can’t rely on it for much longer.”

"It's like this now, it's hard to say in the future."

If I remember correctly, in the previous life, China had independent intellectual property rights for 3G technology td-scdma. The spectrum occupied by the system was 2010MHz to 2025MHz. It was characterized by low interference and could be networked on the same frequency or on different frequencies. Co-frequency networking has high spectrum utilization, but co-channel interference from adjacent cells is large, requiring a certain capacity loss in exchange for performance improvement. Inter-frequency networking can effectively reduce the impact of co-channel interference from neighboring cells and improve system performance, but the spectrum utilization rate is low and more frequency resources are required.

The package billing model these days is still relatively complicated. Comprehensive accounting, the advantages of mobile local calls are endless.

During the meeting, Yang Qi passed on the recent survey data to everyone, and then explained:

Since it is a backward technology, PHS will naturally have to make way for the future, and it is natural that it will be cleared to give up the frequency band.

Unless we increase investment and participate in future 3G R&D and standard formulation, we can smoothly integrate mobile local phone networks into 3G.

It’s not that Jin Shang has a good memory, and the “golden finger” can bring up the secrets buried deep in his heart, but that the characteristics of the PHS technology itself, as well as the matching frequency band, are too similar to the TD system.

Jin Shang understood Yang Qi's concerns, but did not take them to heart. Instead, he saw a more serious problem from the report.

"At present, it seems that the use of 1900-1920Mhz spectrum is most likely."

It is foreseeable that if five years later, Jinxi Culture still cannot occupy a favorable position or have a certain technical say, the PHS technology it has worked so hard to obtain will soon be swept into the garbage heap of history.

"Mr. Jin, are you a little unfounded?"

"If you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. I am the big boss and I have to be responsible for such a big decision. I cannot lead the company into a ditch. But... there is no rush for the time being. There is still room for change. Put this issue aside for the time being. , let’s talk about the next topic…”

Seeing that Jin Shang was no longer entangled, Yang Qi turned to the next page of the technical description.

"There are still many discerning people. Judging from the promotional package arranged by China Telecom, it seems that they are trying to make a wave of 'quick money'. The discount rate is huge. It is almost like 'recharging phone bills' and giving us a mobile phone. All we need to do is to connect to the Internet." Well, I don’t even expect to make money from selling equipment.”

"This is a good thing for us."

This means that there is no strategic conflict between the soon-to-be-established "Planet Intelligent Manufacturing" and the operators.
"When is the expected launch date?"

"As early as the end of November, as late as New Year's Day next year."

"It's too late! Let's not be greedy for perfection. Let's start the pilot project first and strive to start network operations during the school season in September. It is not a high-tech and sophisticated technology. If it is not related to mobile communications, it will not be possible at all. Worth mentioning.”

"Then... OK! I'll urge you, it's... Beichuan Electromechanical is short of manpower. The release of the game console Venus 2 plus is already imminent, and the Mercury 2 mobile phone is also expected to be fully launched by the end of the year. The payment is quite timely. , there is more payment to be made, I had a chat with Mr. Hong and was very busy."

"Also, has Telecom relented? More shares can be released to allow them to participate..."

"I don't care at the moment. There is a lot of pressure on network infrastructure at present, and the focus of work tends to be there. The ADSL high-speed network we cooperate with has good operating results, and may be put into trial operation on a large scale. It is expected to be fully rolled out within three years."

"All right!"

The share distribution of the company's Planet Intelligent Manufacturing has been almost negotiated. The listed company Beichuan Electrical and Mechanical will take the majority share, Beijing Telecom will take 15%, Jinshang will actually contribute 5% and temporarily serve as the chairman, and the legal representative will be designated by the listed company. , the rest is divided between Jinxi Culture and several strategic partners, and a certain share is left as an option pool to attract high-level technical talents to join.

In the future, Planet Intelligent Manufacturing will definitely be listed on the market, as early as three years or as late as five years. It will be decided separately depending on the specific situation.

After the draft plan was announced, Beichuan Mechanical and Electrical's stock immediately started another wave of rise. Jin Shang didn't pay much attention to it anyway, and he didn't know what those stock investors were crazy about. As an actual trader, I felt a little uneasy. They were actually more confident. Confident and more optimistic.

After the tense meeting, Huang Yiyi directed the secretary to clean up and prepare meeting minutes, while Jin Shang returned to the office to take a break. The body is not that tired, but the mental fatigue is even more exaggerated.

If it weren't for the "golden broom" who always helps solve problems and eliminate hidden dangers, Jin Shang's pressure would be even greater.

"Is mobile Internet feasible?" 』

Jin Shang, who was thinking like this, quickly dismissed this crazy idea. Neither the Mercury series mobile phone nor the local mobile phone could bear it. Whether it was hardware or software, they were far from the level of smartphones.

In 1996, mobile phones that could listen to music were at the forefront of fashion. There were indeed mobile phones with camera functions, but they were not available in the ordinary civilian market.

A few months ago, Jin Shangzhen saw a handheld professional special equipment with photography, communication and many functions. It can only be used in special fields. Whether it is useful or not is another matter. The price starts at several hundred thousand, and there are also prices that are priceless. city.

Not to mention ordinary citizens, even Jin Shang felt a little pain.

Cable networks have not yet become widespread, and wireless Internet can only make a presence felt in fantasy anime works.

Of course, this doesn't mean that nothing can be done.

For example, Jin Shang tried to load stock trading software on the Mercury 2 mobile phone, which was under intensive development, and used the unstable wireless network to really see real-time stock market conditions.

It is difficult to use, and the traffic fee is very high, making it difficult to use as a regular software, but at critical moments, it is very suitable as an emergency solution.

In the end, Jin Shang decided to delete all related applications in the new second-generation phone, leaving only music listening, online browsing of some web pages, and interactive functions.

Today's software and hardware are far behind, and they are obviously unable to carry Jin Shang's many whimsical ideas.
-
On the evening of August, Jin Shang and his girlfriend Li Xuan went to visit their parents and their little brother.

During this period, the little guy started to become a little more lively. Earlier, his neck was soft and he couldn't straighten up, and he had to use his arms to hold him. Now he can raise his head on the ground, crawl around, and turn over.

"Grows up pretty fast."

After dinner, the two shepherd dogs played with their little owner on the floor covered with mats. From time to time, laughter could be heard. After a while, little Jinfeng got tired and fell asleep lying on Jinbiao's furry back.

After putting little Jin Feng into the crib, when Jin Shang came back, he saw a black and blue patch on the bottom of his mother Mei Xinghong's hand. It was not an injury due to a bump, but was contaminated with paint.

"Resuming creation?"

"I've been resting for several months and I'm so busy that it's good to have something to do. When the little guy falls asleep, I can take some time to read. The main thing is to check the manuscripts sent from the studio. It's not time to resume full work."

"The weather is hot, and it's really hard to run around. But... it's better to buy a nanny car. It's convenient for going out."

"Your father has already ordered it and it will be delivered in two days."

"Where's my grandma? I haven't seen her in the past two days. Could it be that she can't stay any longer? It's really rare that she hasn't gone out to play for such a long time."

"A water park resort opened nearby, and she invited some friends to go rafting."

"There are still places like this around the capital."

Jin Shang sighed noncommittally that Mrs. Xian was better at playing than her grandson.
"Why hasn't dad come back today? He went out to drink and socialize again..."

"It is inevitable to discuss future supply and rationing with suppliers, which is very troublesome. In the past few years, the northwest cotton harvest has been bumper. The upstream textile market has been difficult, but the downstream terminals are quite smooth. Especially those engaged in foreign trade..."

The impact of the official start of the World Trade Organization on the country is emerging. As a key link in the upstream and downstream manufacturing plants, it is also related to local employment. Laojin will obviously be busier this year.

"I'll probably be drunk when I come back. Let me prepare to pick someone up. By the way, if you need anything at home, you can let me do it..."

"Aren't you busy too?"

As she spoke, Mei Xinghong took out a piece of paper from the sundries shelf and handed it over. On it was an advertisement for "Little Smart" issued by the local community business hall, with "One-way Charge" and "Twenty Yuan Account Opening" printed on it. "Two cents per minute" and "Limited time offer, big bonus".

It is still very early for the first batch of machines to be launched, and they are basically for trial use through acquaintance channels, but the publicity channels will certainly not be so narrow, and everything must be comprehensive.

The deployment of micro-cell base stations is not troublesome. After all, the Jin family and his son are local aborigines and have a relatively strong network of connections. Assuming that they are on the top of some high-rise buildings with dense human traffic, they have not encountered any obstacles so far.

Handheld mobile devices are not worth mentioning. The technicians at Beichuan Mechanical and Electrical are well versed in the assembly and modification of electronic equipment. According to Jin Shang's requirements, it took a short time to complete the adjustments.

There are not many trial works in the first batch. The three districts in western Beijing have prepared 150,000 numbers. They should not have to worry about selling them in a short time.

“I didn’t expect the publicity to be quite good.”

"The young people in the neighborhood are looking forward to it. Cell phones are too expensive and the phone bills are not cheap. If this 'PHS' is really as good as advertised, it will probably be snapped up like crazy."

"The signal of the base station is slightly poor at present. It is estimated that you have to make calls in an open area. If there is any obstruction, it will not be very sensitive. We will test the water first and gradually improve it later."

"Whether it's good or not is another matter for now. Having a private number is always a lot more convenient."

Mei Xinghong smiled slightly and said,

"If you don't mention anything else, the pager will probably be beaten to death by a 'PHS' like you."

"How can it be so fast?"

The promotion of mobile local calls can be described with nothing more than the word "quick". As her mother Mei Xinghong said, the birth of "PHS" was not a lofty thing in the first place. It was to solve the problem of "having problems". "No" question, as for "is it good or not", let's talk about it in the next step.

"Going online in such a hurry requires a lot of investment, right?"

"Fortunately, the pressure is not great, but after the official operation, handling after-sales complaints is a troublesome matter."

The current mobile phone market with a beautiful name is "cheap", but far from "good quality". It can only make up for it temporarily with timely and convenient after-sales service.
