The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

The important influence of the new Internet can be felt with just a little sorting and confirmation.

Not to mention that there are already many actual cases in the United States for your reference.

Therefore, the relevant departments in China acted very quickly, as it was originally planned to be fully connected to the international Internet in 1994.

Now it has been brought forward to 1991.

Of course, now we have just decided to connect to the international Internet and have obtained the approval of the National Science Foundation of the United States.

But in fact, there is still a lot of work to be done before the Internet can be developed.

On the one hand, there are various publicity activities, and on the other hand, there is the laying of optical cables.

"Dad, it's very expensive to lay fiber optic cables on a large scale."

"When the number of users is still small, the pressure is obviously huge."

"I think we can start dial-up Internet service as soon as possible and use this method to make the transition."

"Once we have more computers and more Internet users, it will become worthwhile to build fiber optic cables on a larger scale."

Although the full access to the Internet is already considered a success.

However, there is still a long way to go before Jiang Hui can truly achieve what he wants.

But it’s already a huge effort.

Don't underestimate these three years.

With this increase, the impact on the development of China's semiconductor industry, computer industry and Internet industry will be enormous.

These industries complement each other.

The energy that will be unleashed in the future will be beyond everyone’s imagination.

"Tell me the details of how to dial up to the Internet, and I will contact the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to discuss it."

Zhu Jiansheng is still very confident in Jiang Hui's vision.

He had no reason to object to something that was beneficial to the country and the people and to the development of the company.

"Dial-up Internet access works by converting digital signals from your computer into analog signals suitable for transmission over the telephone line."

"That requires a dedicated modem."

“When sending data, it modulates the computer’s digital signal into an analog signal that is transmitted over the telephone line to the Internet service provider’s server.”

"When receiving data, the analog signal from the telephone line is demodulated into a digital signal for the computer to recognize and process."

"The modem is the core device for dial-up Internet access, and products with different speeds can be developed based on needs."

"For example, there are different specifications such as 14.4Kbps, 28.8Kbps, 33.6Kbps and 56Kbps."

"The higher the speed, the faster the data is transmitted, but due to factors such as the quality of the telephone line, the actual transmission speed often does not reach the theoretical maximum."

In front of my father-in-law, I naturally have to explain the actual situation clearly and thoroughly.

This is the only way to move things forward as quickly as possible.

"For telephones, a normal household landline will do."

"Plug one end of the telephone cord into the LINE port on the modem and the other end into the telephone socket on the wall."

"At the same time, you also need to connect a telephone to the PHONE port of the modem so that you can use the phone normally when you are not connected to the Internet."

Since Jiang Hui has already proposed such a plan to Zhu Jiansheng, he has naturally arranged for Zhujiang Technology to make relevant preparations.

Computers, mobile phones and various peripheral products will be Zhujiang Technology's main business in the future.

Jiang Hui doesn't want to miss any opportunity.

The key is that if Zhujiang Technology does not do it, other companies may not be able to seize the opportunity so quickly, which will delay things instead.

This is a situation that Jiang Hui doesn't want to see.

"I kind of understand what you said, but I'm a little confused."

"If you have a telephone at home and a modem, what are the specific steps to get online?"

Now that we are ready to start, we must make sure we get it clear.

Otherwise you might accidentally go in the wrong direction, which would be embarrassing.

“It’s actually very simple. Basically, there are only three steps.”

"At Zhujiang Technology, we can already try it out within the company."

"The first step is to install the modem driver. Usually the modem will come with a driver CD. Put it into the computer's CD-ROM drive and follow the prompts to install it."

"Then it's just a matter of setting up the dial-up connection in your computer."

"Open the Control Panel, find Network and Dial-up Connections, click the New Connection Wizard, follow the prompts to enter the dial-up number, user name and password provided by the ISP, and create a dial-up connection icon."

"When you go online, double-click the dial-up connection icon, enter your username and password, and click the Connect button."

"The modem will emit a dial tone and connect to the ISP's server."

"Once the connection is established, the computer can access the Internet through the telephone line."

Although in Jiang Hui's opinion, this operation is already very complicated.

But for Zhu Jiansheng, this is already amazing.

It is incredible that you can get all kinds of information online with just a few operations.

"According to what you said, dial-up Internet access is easy to install and use. As long as you have a telephone line and a modem, you can access the Internet anywhere there is telephone network coverage?"

Zhu Jiansheng was worried that his reason was wrong, so he checked it further.

"Yes, that's it."

“But it’s not without its drawbacks.”

"Dial-up Internet access is slow, with a maximum speed of 56Kbps."

"It takes a long time to open a simple web page, and it is even more difficult to support the transmission of large-capacity data such as video and audio."

"At the same time, dial-up Internet access will occupy the telephone line, you cannot use the phone to make calls while surfing the Internet, and the connection stability is poor."

“It is susceptible to dropped calls due to telephone line quality and external interference.”

In Zhu Jiansheng's view, the problems mentioned by Jiang Hui are not problems at all.

At least for China at this stage, these problems are not problems.

This is already a huge breakthrough.

"Please prepare some specific information for me, and I will immediately contact the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to implement this matter."

Zhu Jiansheng is also a decisive person.

Once I decide on something, I will do it immediately.

……

"Mr. Ren, I think the company can consider developing and producing modems."

"Now that our country is fully connected to the international Internet, the next step will definitely be to promote the development of the Internet on a large scale."

"Due to hardware limitations, according to documents from relevant departments, the initial consideration was to use dial-up Internet access."

"As a result, the modem required for dial-up Internet access will become a hot-selling product."

Liang Hua is the vice president of Warwick Technology and has a very keen sense of the market.

This time, after he heard that Zhujiang Technology was developing a modem, he immediately went to research the relevant industry situation.

Then I realized this was a huge business opportunity.

“Is the structure of the modem complicated?”

Huawei's current research and development focus is on small switches and digital program-controlled switches, and there is not much energy to develop other products. If the development of modems is too complicated, Mr. Ren does not want to distract his attention.

After all, the future of digital programmable switching systems is very broad and bright.

He had no reason to give up.

“It’s not particularly complicated.”

"A modem is mainly composed of a modulator, a demodulator, a controller, an interface circuit, etc."

"The key modulator usually consists of a digital signal processing circuit and an analog signal generation circuit."

"The digital signal processing circuit is responsible for encoding and converting the digital signal sent by the computer to meet the modulation requirements."

"The analog signal generation circuit generates a corresponding analog signal based on the encoded digital signal and transmits it through the telephone line."

"The demodulator mainly includes analog signal processing circuit and digital signal recovery circuit."

"The analog signal processing circuit is used to receive the analog signal transmitted from the telephone line and perform amplification, filtering and other processing on it to improve the signal quality."

"The digital signal recovery circuit restores the original digital signal based on the characteristics of the received analog signal."

"As for the controller, it is generally a microprocessor or a dedicated control chip with its own instruction set and registers, which can control and coordinate various parts of the modem according to preset programs and received signals."

“It’s not difficult to develop at all.”

Liang Huahui proposed to develop a modem and naturally did some analysis on this product.

There have been cases of this kind in the United States for a long time, and results can be obtained through investigation.

According to his understanding, Warwick now has the ability to develop such a product on its own.

"What is the approximate selling price of a modem?"

"There are very few products in this category in China, and the relevant departments have just proposed the concept of dial-up Internet access."

"According to my confirmation, the sales price of the modem is expected to be between 1000 yuan and yuan."

“It depends on the brand and the performance requirements in terms of speed.”

"As for the cost, if the production quantity is large enough, I think it can be less than 100 yuan."

"There is still a lot of room for profit in each link."

In this day and age, the profit margins for electronic products are not just a few percentage points.

Instead, there must be at least dozens of points of profit to be in line with the general trend.

It is not uncommon for many products to have a profit of several hundred percent.

The price of a computer is often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

You have to know that this was 1991 or yuan in .

You can imagine how expensive it is.

This is certainly due to the relatively high prices of various components, but the relatively high profits in each link are also an important reason.

Of course, if the profits are not high, there is no way to promote the rapid development of this industry.

There is no way to attract more talents to join this industry.

After all, people are profit-seeking.

"Since you think it's feasible, arrange a small group of people to give it a try."

"We will adjust our strategy in a timely manner according to the situation at that time."

The modem product is highly overlapping with the company's current business scope.

So Mr. Ren would not resist.

Try it first, it's ok.

……

"Mr. Jiang, our school is planning to include computer teaching in the compulsory courses for all majors."

"Starting this year, we will purchase computers on a large scale and build more computer labs to meet the needs of students."

"do you have any good advice?"

Zhang Wei would find opportunities to discuss with Jiang Hui about Shenzhen University's operation and development every now and then.

The two sides have close cooperation in some scientific research projects and talent training, and are like grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Principal Zhang, I think your decision is very correct and forward-looking."

"The importance of computers in the future is unquestionable. It is a tool that everyone should be able to use."

"Although the price of computers is still relatively high, the operating threshold is also relatively high."

“But this situation will definitely change a lot in the future.”

"The prices of various computers will drop rapidly, and everyone's income will continue to increase."

"The number of computers owned will increase explosively."

"We have built a brand new computer assembly factory at Zhujiang Technology."

"This new factory is built to produce 100 million computers per year."

"And we plan to build a larger factory next year to increase Zhujiang Technology's computer assembly capacity to more than 300 million units."

"In the next few years, we will not stop this kind of action, which will keep our computer production capacity growing rapidly."

"In this process, it will inevitably have a huge impact on everyone's life and way of communication."

"I think Shenzhen University can do a lot of work in this regard and encourage students to try this."

Jiang Hui was thinking and giving Zhang Wei suggestions.

If the computer skills of students at Shenzhen University improve, it will definitely be a good thing for the BMW Group.

So he was very happy to give a push from behind.

"Can you tell me specifically where our school should implement some encouraging policies?"

Zhang Wei admires Jiang Hui's strategic vision very much.

So when it comes to new things like this, he is very willing to listen to Jiang Hui's opinions.

"If the number of computers at Shenzhen University continues to increase rapidly, the time students spend using computers will increase."

"But what do you use a computer for?"

"How to make people have more fun and meaningful things when using computers will definitely be a development trend in the future."

"For example, you could consider asking students to set up an Internet forum on campus."

“On it, everyone can post and have various discussions.”

"From astronomy and geography to school content, to international economic news and things like that."

"I believe that passionate students are definitely willing to express their opinions online."

"Now the relevant departments are vigorously encouraging telephone dial-up Internet access, and the speed of Internet development will exceed everyone's imagination."

"If we intervene in this area in advance, Shenzhen University can occupy the commanding heights of the industry."

When Jiang Hui said this, Zhang Wei's eyes immediately lit up.

This matter has something going on.

As a top scholar, although Zhang Wei is not young anymore, his thoughts are still very active.

There is no doubt that what Jiang Hui said is worth talking about. (End of this chapter)
