Yes, the old business of train sales, and the leaders of the railway have not forgotten to put it on the test line of the Beijing-Tianjin Express.

Or rather, it was the leaders on the railroad who strongly demanded that it must be put on this test line.

Since the railway line of the Beijing-Tianjin Express is a quasi-high-speed railway, the hardware facilities and services are naturally of the highest standard, and the same ticket is also of the highest standard.

Although because of the short distance, the ticket price is not sky-high. But the price of twenty yuan still kept the vast majority of wage earners out.

After it was put into operation, the main passengers of this train were almost all state workers who were reimbursed at public expense, private bosses who made a fortune, white-collar workers who worked in foreign companies and received wages from developed countries, and foreigners who traveled to the imperial capital.

This is a group of people with a lot of spending potential, and the people above will certainly not turn a blind eye to this. Train sales were originally reserved programs on the railway, and there was no resistance to the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin Express.

As for what to promote, many railway companies and related households want to occupy this high-quality platform. But after a fierce competition, this place unexpectedly fell into the hands of a less conspicuous company.

Tietong.

Railway communication has developed well in recent years, but it can still only be said to be a supplement to telecommunications.

After all, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has obtained an almost unlimited number of digital switches in the hands of Xinke Group and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In many regions, the Directorate General of Telecommunications may not have that much money on hand, and Xinke proposes a variety of strategies for them to choose from. For example, with equipment as capital, it is operated in a joint venture with the local post and telecommunications bureau. Or simply sell the equipment to the local post and telecommunications bureau on credit and stipulate the future repayment method.

After all, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau is also a high-quality customer, so there is no need to worry about defaulting on the debt.

As a result, the domestic communications industry has ushered in an explosive growth in a few years.

Although Tietong Company is also not far behind, relying on the railway to develop a large number of users. However, it has been established for a short time and lacks sufficient foundation, and almost any resource, whether it is employees or customers, capital and equipment, is at an absolute disadvantage.

With such an explosive market, the first series of posts and telecommunications naturally got the lion's share. Relatively speaking, although Tietong has developed well, it has still been overshadowed by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau and has become less prominent.

It is such a "small enterprise" that is not usually noticed by people, and it actually got the rare sales opportunity of the Beijing-Tianjin Express.

It really shocked a lot of people's glasses.

Tietong's behavior of pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth is not without no opinion. For a communications company, what do you want to sell on the train? Loading a phone? It doesn't feel like a good fit.

The number of people that a train can carry is too small compared to the communication market. In the era when there was no awareness of image building, everyone's impression of sales was still stuck in how many products could be sold immediately.

Many people think that instead of selling such a universal service as installing telephones, they should sell some handicrafts such as silk, porcelain and wood carving on the Beijing-Tianjin Express, and by the way, wouldn't they also be able to promote traditional Chinese crafts?

If you're on the train and you're on the phone, you might forget about it when you get off the train, because there's always a lot to worry about when you're out on the train or when you're home.

Even if the passengers still remember the matter and really want to install the telephone at that time, they will not necessarily choose your Tietong -- the post and telecommunications bureau has too great an advantage in resources.

But when Tietong put out the products he intended to sell, all the people who questioned it immediately chose to shut up.

This product is so convincing that all competitors have even produced, the real purpose of the test line of the Beijing-Tianjin Express is not to build a big stage and launch this product?

It's no surprise that someone would think so.

Because this product not only has broad market prospects, but also is one of the most dazzling technical achievements of the Ministry of Railways in recent years, and it is also in line with the country's intention to publicize the achievements of reform and opening up.

Killing three birds with one stone, the Ministry of Railways really couldn't find a reason to veto it.

Tietong has two names for this product, one is the official scientific name, which is called "handheld digital communication radio".

It also has a common name -

"Passengers, this is the epoch-making product launched by our Tietong company, mobile phone!"

The beautiful flight attendant girl held up the rectangular object in her hand and introduced it with some pride: "Its function is similar to the big brother we often see, but it is more advanced." Not only can you make mobile calls, but they are also smaller, have longer talk times, and have more diverse functions. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a person with a big brother in his hand stood up with a glaring eye and said in disbelief.

"Girl, you said that the thing in your hand can have the same function as mine?

As he spoke, he lifted the big brother in his hand, and his tone was full of suspicion: "Look at my big brother, the antenna is so long, and it weighs one or two catties." In the imperial capital, you can't make calls everywhere, and there are always times when there is no signal. Just a small thing in your hand, there is no antenna, and the battery is not big, even if you can make a call, it is not good, right?"

"Sir, the call effect of our mobile phone is only better than that of Big Brother, and it will definitely not be worse than it. Big Brother uses an analog communication method, which is why such a long antenna and a large capacity battery are needed, otherwise the signal cannot be recognized. But our mobile phones use digital communication, for example, analog communication is like a person talking, far away from the need to shout loudly if you want to distinguish what to say. But digital communication is different, and it is equivalent to agreeing on a rule in advance. For example, one long and one short means one thing, and two long and one short mean another. It's not easy to hear what people are shouting, but it's much easier to hear the length of the voice, isn't it?"

"However, the corresponding technical difficulties are much more difficult, and if you want to restore the original communication content through simple digital signals, you need to recognize it faster and do more calculations. Our mobile phones use specially designed integrated circuits that enable digital communication. If you're not convinced, you can try it out in the field. I can use my mobile phone to call the flight attendant in the front compartment and ask him to give you a demonstration, and everyone will say okay?"

The Beijing-Tianjin Express is arranged by the top business among the flight attendants, and the beautiful flight attendant girl has a crisp and neat voice, so naturally no one will deliberately embarrass people.

If it is done in a different place and with a different number of people, maybe some people will suspect that the big brother man is a liar childcare agreed upon. But what kind of place is this? On the railway trains, the products are sold by conductors in railway uniforms, with national credit endorsements.

Railroad stuff may be a lot more expensive, but at least in the early nineties, people didn't believe in selling fakes.

"Well, let's ask the foreign traveler next to me to agree on a code word. Then I would use my phone to call the flight attendant in the car in front of me, and I would speak in a very small voice to see if he could repeat the code word when he came over in a moment. ”

The flight attendant confidently introduced the rules, and then asked Louis if he was willing to cooperate.

Louis really didn't expect that he would encounter an opportunity for Chinese to sell mobile phones on the train, which once made him feel that it was a trap for him.

However, Meng Shuiyin soon dispelled this idea, China's railways are Chinese government departments and represent the country's image. Unless this car is undercover, blatant fraud on the train will never be allowed in China.

And the time and motivation of the two of them to take the Beijing-Tianjin Express are all improvised, and it is impossible to give people time to make such detailed preparations.

That being the case, Louis can only regard what happened as a coincidence.

There is an opportunity to touch China's mobile phones, and Louis will certainly not let it go.

"Let's make an appointment with a Chinese food that I really like. Louis thought for a moment and said, "If you can, please ask the lady to tell your colleague to say 'shrimp crawler, let's go' when you come over." ”

"Shrimp crawler, let's go?" The flight attendant girl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, that's this sentence 'shrimp crawler, let's go'." ”

With that, she pressed the keypad on her phone a few times, and then dialed the call.

Louis almost held his breath, watching her maneuver intently.

When Big Brother first entered China, it was more than just a communication tool. It's like BBA's cars aren't just cars, and the favorite thing businessmen do at that time was to slap their big brother on the table – that's a status symbol.

And others prefer to show their identity in public, and the big brother who suddenly turns on the voice speaker mode in the crowd is not a "pretend" but a really "awesome" character.

Of course, the human voice speaker mode also has its last resort, that is, the call quality of Big Brother is really terrible.

In the absence of digital processing to eliminate background sounds, in the face of analog signals facing interference, signal attenuation and signal distortion and other problems, the call quality of Big Brother can be imagined.

If the voice is a little quieter, then the other side may have to listen to a decimal point or something less, and there is really no place to cry about the loss.

The flight attendant girl waited for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up, apparently connecting the phone on the other side.

"Brother Sun, come over to the seventh carriage now. When you come, you have to say, 'Shrimp crawlers, let's go'......"

The flight attendant's voice was very soft, and she even lowered her tone when she narrated the code.
