Li Zetian then gave Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan a detailed introduction to the iPhone, and after it was over, the two were shocked.

“Mr· Li, no wonder you need to know the number of ifi routers sold! Indeed, ifi routers have a big impact on iPhone sales!" Zhang said.

Tian Shuai said: "Compared with mobile phone users, there are not many current ifi router users, but with the excellence of the iPhone, I believe that many users should be willing to spend another amount of money to buy an ifi router in order to connect to the Internet!"

"That's right," Li Zetian nodded, and then put forward an idea: "At present, the router market is fiercely competitive, I think it, the iPhone and the Galaxy ifi router may be able to have a joint promotion! For example, if you buy it separately, the unit price of the iPhone is $200, and the unit price of the Galaxy ifi router is $50, but if you buy it together, it will only cost $240, and you can save $10! Hmm...... As for the specific discount, we can talk about it in detail later. I think it's a good idea, and it's a win-win for Apple and Galaxy Networks!!"

"It's really a good way!" Tian Shuai nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, it should be the Galaxy Network Company that has been stained with the light of the iPhone, and if this joint promotion continues, the Galaxy ifi router will definitely sell well!"

Li Zetian smiled, "Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, and besides, this is also beneficial to Apple." Okay, I'm going to Sprint Telecom later, so I'm going to take my leave. Apple has been working with Sprint Telecom for a long time, and the first ...... in the future About 3 million iPhones will only be available on the Sprint floor. ”

"Oh, by the way, when the time comes, Galaxy Network will send some sales staff to the Sprint business hall to be responsible for the introduction of the ifi router. Other than that...... As for SpaceTravel, Vanessa will contact you when the company is established. Li Zetian added.

"Okay. Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan nodded in unison.

As soon as Li Zetian left Galaxy Network, he asked the driver to go straight to Sprint Telecom.

In addition to the Internet through the IFI router, the iPhone Internet access is also through the 3G network - CDMA network or GSM network.

Many people feel that the 3G network card is dead.

That's right, that's because China Mobile 3G is a pseudo 3G. In fact, the mobile 3G network is a network developed by the mobile company itself, which belongs to the 2.5G network, and the download speed is about 80KB/s, or even less, and the signal will be attenuated when encountering obstacles.

The mobile user base is large, and the network speed and network coverage are not good, so many users naturally feel that the 3G network is very stuck.

At around 11:30 a.m., Li Zetian and Sprint CEO Edgar Carr were already sitting in their offices talking.

Li Zetian asked him a lot about the laying range and speed of Qualcomm's 3G network.

From Edgar Carr's mouth, Li Zetian got a fairly satisfactory answer.

In the United States, due to the promotion of Sprint Telecom, Qualcomm's 3G network has developed very fast, and it has begun to become popular in the United States.

China's network development is slow, and compared with European and American mobile networks, there is indeed a long way to go. At present, with the network situation in the United States, the iPhone already has a breeding ground.

In the future, with the advent of high-definition video, high-resolution photos, and even live broadcast software, the 3G network is obviously not enough.

However, there is no urgency, Li Zetian is here to discuss a big plan with Edgar Carr, which will not only solve the network speed problem in the future, but also add a large number of new subscribers to Sprint Telecom.

Li Zetian then threw out this plan, saying: "Deep in the mountains, on the sea far from the coastline, or in remote rural areas, there is no broadband network line, and sometimes there is no mobile phone signal, but you can access the network through satellites.

Iridium and Globalstar, on the other hand, provide this kind of satellite network service. Above the Earth's atmosphere, they have dozens of satellites that provide network connectivity, whether you're in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, in the Arctic, or anywhere in the world.

But with this network, you don't expect 3G or 4G speeds, which are slower than dial-ups, and can only transmit compressed emails or low-resolution images, so you can't browse the web at all, let alone video. ”

Edgar Carr nodded, "Yes, that's right. The advantage of the network provided by the satellite is that there is no dead end coverage in the world, but the disadvantage is that the network speed is slow and expensive!"

"That's true, but Space-X is trying to change that!" Li Zetian said with a faint smile.

When Edgar Carr heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered: "Mr. Li, how is Space-X going to change that?"

"Develop smaller communication satellites, but the number is very large, seven or eight hundred!!," Li Zetian said with a smile, "as long as there are many of them, not only can they cover the whole world, but they can also provide a very fast network for everyone!"

When Edgar Carr heard that there were seven or eight hundred, he almost stumbled.

“Mr· Li, you're not kidding, are you?" asked Edgar Carr, stunned.

Li Zetian shook his head, serious, and said very seriously: "No kidding, Space-X does have this plan, and ......" Li Zetian smiled, "This plan is still proposed by me." ”

Edgar Carr originally wanted to criticize this plan for purely playing the piano, but as soon as he heard that this plan was proposed by his big boss, Edgar Carr immediately swallowed the words in his mouth, and then said euphemistically: "Mr. Li, this plan is good, but it costs too much to launch seven or eight hundred satellites, and it doesn't work......"

Li Zetian waved his hand and said: "The cost is a big one, -X specially designed this kind of small satellite, and its manufacturing cost is very low, it should only cost a few million dollars." Due to their small size and weight, such satellites can carry multiple small communications satellites in a single rocket launch. In addition, Space-X has made great progress in rocket manufacturing cost control and rocket launch recovery technology. I am sure that in the near future, the cost of rocket launches will be significantly reduced. In this way, the global satellite network plan should not exceed $10 billion if it is to be implemented!"

Edgar Carr smiled bitterly in his heart, hungry, he said it so lightly, it shouldn't be more than $10 billion? Well, his big boss is too rich, and $10 billion may really be nothing in his eyes.

“Mr· Li, since you have decided to do this, then I will do your best to carry out your orders!" Edgar Carr finally spoke, and after saying this, a picture could not help but appear in his mind, beyond the earth's atmosphere, the dense moons, very spectacular, and could not help but make people's hearts feel greatly shocked......
