Chapter 185: Royalists and Reformists

The meeting room of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was solemn.

From the development degree and trend of international and domestic technology, to the realization of mobile Internet technology, Su Yuanshan has answered several questions.

And these questions are all extensions of his report.

This means that the directors have carefully read and even studied their own reports.

"Xiao Su, one last question. Minister Tang, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, looked at Su Yuanshan.

"Minister, please. ”

"From your perspective as a technology provider, do you think it is better to promote enterprise or administrative at present? ”

Su Yuanshan licked his dry lips, and then smiled.

Of course, he would not be confident that his opinion could influence the decisions of the ministry, but the minister asked him at this time...... It's kind of interesting.

He has been observing since he entered the venue.

He found that, as Tian Yaoming said, the supporters of the two views were almost evenly matched.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, when mobile analog phone Big Brother was just emerging, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications set up a special post and telecommunications office to manage this "emerging" communications market.

Due to well-known reasons, in the era of the model, there was no domestic standard, and the standard adopted was TACS (Total Access Communications System), which originated in the United Kingdom.

But the problem is that this TACS standard does not have any networking (roaming) function, and only Ericsson and Motorola, the two terminal providers, have their own networking solutions and standards.

Now, with the growing popularity of Big Brother, the drawbacks of this different standard have also surfaced, even to the extent that they have to face it squarely.

The first is the poor coverage and stability of the network - the inherent flaws of the analog network, and it does not have the associated network support system.

Second, the two analog networks based on Ericsson and MOTO cannot roam and are not interoperable.

That is to say, analog wireless base stations around the world only support the corresponding big brother.

For example, if the post and telecommunications bureau of city A chooses Ericsson's big brother, then its base station only supports Ericsson, and MOTO's big brother can't use it.

Finally, due to the lack of support from the system, it can't do instant billing yet. Roaming is billed in the form of exchanging tape data from place to place.

Roaming here means that if both A and B adopt Ericsson's standards, then Ericsson's big brother can roam between A and B.

And manual roaming is simply troublesome.

Probably the operation is that a big brother user is from city A and wants to go to city B, and then he has to send an application to the post and telecommunications bureau of city A in advance, saying, "I want to go to city B at such and such time, please help me roam." ”

The post and telecommunications bureau of city A will greet the post and telecommunications bureau of city B and say, "I have a user who wants to come to you and help you give a number." ”

Then the Post and Telecommunications Bureau of City B gave the big brother a temporary number? After this big brother arrives in City B? Use this temporary number to make and receive calls.

Trouble or not?

Trouble to death!

And you have to charge dozens of fees for roaming once, not to mention, the cost of roaming? It takes almost three months to settle the bill......

In a past life? The main "function" of upgrading the Mobile Communications Division to a mobile communications bureau is to solve these long-standing problems.

I won't talk about the specific measures - because in the end the mobile communication bureau found out, instead of solving the problem? It's better to solve the problem with the device.

Less than a year after the establishment of the pilot in Guangdong Province, the GSM pilot was expanded to 13 provinces.

Of course? Big Brother users are all Big Brothers? Those who are reluctant to change their mobile phones are even more big brothers, and the post and telecommunications bureau cannot ignore them.

So the post and telecommunications bureau pulled Ericsson and MOTO to sit down and unify their signaling (just know that it is the global control signal responsible for the entire communication network in the communication information, it is not unified, it cannot be networked)? In the end, the national network was completed.

And it's the world's largest analog network.

- And then everyone knows? It didn't take long for it to be eliminated.

However, due to the emergence of Yuanxin, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications began to think about it one step more.

——How can we solve the old and difficult problems while also quickly promoting the construction of a new generation of networks?

This brings us to the focus.

Focusing on solving problems, setting up a mobile communications bureau and focusing on promoting new networks? A mobile communications company was established.

As for why it doesn't hold?

Hey, hey, hey......

Mobile communication companies, state-owned enterprises that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, are generally at the vice-ministerial level - even if they are only at the bureau level? It is also on a par with the Mobile Communications Bureau. (Again, note: now it is a subordinate enterprise, and it is likely to be a positive situation.) But a little higher...... )

When the time comes? A royalist, a reformist? Who are you listening to in a fight?

......

Su Yuanshan didn't think about it for long? Just a bow down and drink water? He figured out how to answer.

Ambiguous words, not offending both sides, that is the attitude that only commercial companies that dare not take a stand should have. As a technology company, especially in the infrastructure field, Yuanxin can only stand on the side of supporting technology development.

Since the leader wants Yuanxin to "pick out" from the perspective of a third party......

Then Su Yuanshan can only follow his inner thoughts.

"Ministers, leaders. As an enterprise, Yuanxin is of course willing to cooperate with enterprises. ”

"In fact, in my opinion...... As long as GSM digital networks are pushed fast, then the problems of analog networks are not a problem. ”

A leader glanced at Su Yuanshan, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said lightly: "But analog network users can't just lose it." ”

"Of course you don't have to lose it. Su Yuanshan smiled and pursed his lips: "Just convert." ”

"The Post and Telecommunications Bureau can provide subsidies for old users according to the service life, consumption level, etc., and Yuanxin mobile phones can also provide marketing subsidies in the form of trade-in. ”

The minister looked at him with interest: "Trade in the old for the new?"

"Yes, trade-in. Su Yuanshan nodded and said: "For high-quality users, Yuanxin can also give up profits for subsidies and recycle the old analog big brother." ”

"What about after recycling?"

"Of course it's sold in rags. Su Yuanshan replied naturally.

Everyone: "......"

Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "As for the analog base station, during the coexistence of the dual networks, it will no longer be upgraded, and only basic maintenance can be done." ”

After Su Yuanshan opened the chatterbox, he couldn't close it anymore, he paused and continued: "Now the cost of solving the various problems left over by the analog network, and the cost of directly converting them into GSM users in the form of subsidies, is actually about the same. ”

Su Yuanshan said and looked at a few leaders who were inclined to repair the analog network and make do with it, and after thinking about it, he said slowly:

"Leaders, let's think about it from the perspective of the future. ”

"More than ten years later, when mobile communication enters the 3G and even 4G era, we look back at this moment...... What decision we would like to make at this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Su Yuanshan at the same time.

Many people even have a flash of light in their eyes in an instant - that is a sign of deep emotion.

Minister Tang stared at Su Yuanshan and nodded slowly. He coughed and looked at his many subordinates.

"I understand what Xiao Su means. ”

"Analog networks are doomed. ”

"Now it depends on whether we take the initiative to eliminate it, or passively wait for the technology and the market to eliminate it. ”

"To take the initiative to eliminate is to lose the burden. Passive elimination is to walk a long way with a burden. ”

Su Yuanshan slapped his ass unscrupulously: "The minister summed it up too well!"

Minister Tang exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "Throw away the burden and travel lightly." ”

Several leaders who wanted to maintain their existing analog networks were a little more distracted.

They know how hard it was to build a simulated network.

The simulation network looks backward now, but when it was set up in 87, it was the season when Guangdong Province was preparing for the 6th National Games.

Guangdong Province, which is at the forefront of the reform wave, is ahead of the times in terms of consumption awareness and life and work style. As a result, the provincial and municipal leaders at that time decided to build a mobile phone service before the National Games.

The Guangdong Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau, which took full action, negotiated the equipment with Ericsson after choosing the TACS standard.

And then...... It was time to ask for money, and the Guangdong Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau found the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and then found the central government to ask for money, and the central government said: There is no money, and the policy is casual.

......

The Guangdong Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau eventually borrowed an interest-free loan of US$5 million from Hong Kong's CSL (Hong Kong Mobile Communications Co., Ltd.), and then scraped together a little from other banks to finally get the first installment of the contract funded.

There is no need to mention the hardships and hardships that followed......

In short, from scratch, the analog network can be built to this scale, and the most of them is the bitter tears of post and telecommunications people everywhere.

It's only been six years...... It becomes a burden.

Because he was too excited, Su Yuanshan couldn't sleep, he sat on the sofa and chatted with Min Guangliang, deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology, who came to visit.

Min Guangliang, an alumnus of Chengdian, was also one of the leaders of Yuanxin who interviewed Yuanxin last time.

"Frankly speaking, among the countless departments in China, in fact, the most entrepreneurial spirit is actually Uncle Min, your post and telecommunications department. ”

Su Yuanshan patted the ass without leaving a trace.

Min Guangliang also attended the meeting just now, but he never spoke. At this time, he smiled and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Feeling. Su Yuanshan blinked.

In fact, where is the feeling......

He just knows that starting from the separation of posts and telecommunications, to the separation of telecom and mobile, to the reorganization of the north and south, and then to the merger of the six major basic telecom operators into three major groups......

The post and telecommunications system is going to make big news every few years.

It can be said that these people have always been motivated.

"Haha, but you do feel right. From top to bottom, our system has indeed been driven. Min Guangliang said with a smile: "Now it seems that the establishment of a mobile communication company is the general trend. As an equipment provider, what kind of cooperation can Yuanxin give?"

Su Yuanshan squinted: "Uncle Min, are you going to be promoted?"

Min Guangliang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Su Yuanshan was not only a genius in science and technology, but also had such a keen insight into politics, and said a little reservedly at the moment: "Change your position, or be in charge of technology." ”

"Chief Technology Officer of Mobile Communications, what ......about the main hall," Su Yuanshan smiled, and then said: "This also requires Yuanxin to cooperate with the specific situation of the mobile company." ”

"Uncle Min, it's not that I deliberately used an official tone, but it is. But on the whole, our cooperation is based on your plan. ”

"If I were to say it now, I could only say that Yuanxin would definitely not be like Ericsson, which would cost six million dollars to build a broken analog base station, and it would not work for a single cent. ”

Min Guangliang breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace after hearing this.

To speed up the construction of wireless communication networks, money is the biggest problem.

"Speaking of which, in fact, Ericsson and MOTO have approached us many times, like us to sell base station equipment, and the quotation is ...... It's a bit lower than we think. ”

Min Guangliang looked at Su Yuanshan and said, but there was no hint of "lowering the price" in his tone.

On the contrary, there was a little more emotion.

Su Yuanshan understands this sentiment very well - the reason why Ericsson dared to collect six million US dollars was of course because they were a technology monopoly.

Even if MOTO comes in later, it's also a raccoon dog.

You don't have this technology in the mainland, you don't have this key part, then I'm sorry, I'll just shout the price.

Then as long as you figure it out, I will immediately reduce the price - this kind of routine has been fucking done abroad for decades.

It's just that other products may still have the advantages of technology accumulation and craftsmanship abroad, and domestic products can be suppressed by reducing prices.

However, in the technical field of communication base stations, as long as Yuanxin does not cut corners, who dares foreign companies to compare advantages with Yuanxin?

"Uncle Min, it may not take twenty years...... It's going to be the other way around. Su Yuanshan endured a yawn and said: "GSM hasn't outrun them, 3G, 4G...... Must have outrun them. ”

Min Guangliang smiled and nodded: "Then we will sell the equipment to them." ”

Su Yuanshan laughed for a few seconds, and then nodded.

"Yes. ”

......

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has indeed acted very quickly, or in other words, the central government's support for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has been very fast.

On the third day after the decision was made, an initial leadership structure was formed.

As Su Yuanshan expected, this is a high-level vice-ministerial-level enterprise. Led by the vice minister, Min Guangliang then became the vice president of technology.

This also shows the determination of the leaders of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to forge ahead.

Since the leaders are determined, Yuanxin naturally has to cooperate. Wang Rui, the head of Yuanxin's mobile communication division, was recruited into the capital by Su Yuanshan with a phone call, and he will be responsible for industrial layout and technology with Tian Yaoming, and conduct relevant cooperation negotiations with China Mobile from two aspects.

As for Su Yuanshan, he returned to the provincial capital the day after Wang Rui entered Beijing.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Science and Technology Park was to go to Qin Weimin's office.

Qin Weimin saw the dust of Su Yuanshan's way, shook his head with a smile, and took out a disc case from his briefcase.

"Originally, I thought it was nothing, but you made me nervous, and I felt like a spy. ”

This CD-ROM is naturally Claude's CPU data and related engineering files.

It can be said that this is all the achievements that Xinghai &Cyrix has achieved in terms of CPU at present.

So in order to avoid having too many dreams at night, he asked Qin Weimin to bring it back first.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Next time, find a diplomat to bring it back, and go through the exemption channel. ”
