While Xiao Sui was socializing in Hujiang,

Gu Biao was in the capital, dealing with the aftermath of the run on Wang Lie and the big brother in a low-key manner.

The sales data of the first line was quickly fed back, and the first batch of 300 big brothers in the country, the machines and numbers sold out through normal channels were about 240. There are more than 50 in total, which were taken by Gu Biao as favors and given away.

In this way, Gu Biao has "lost" a total of more than 3 million yuan.

It's just that the specific way of loss is to give out gifts worth more than 3 million yuan, make more friends, or maintain some existing partners.

After all, this cannot be equated with a pure loss.

After the dust settled on Big Brother's achievements, Gu Biao took time to meet with his former subordinates and old comrades-in-arms, and Ren Zhengyi, the current vice president of Huaxing Communications.

Ren Zhengyi usually works at the headquarters of Huaxing Communications in the Special Economic Zone, and this time the construction of the network in the capital is very urgent, so he personally flew to the capital as the project leader to supervise it.

He and Gu Biao haven't sat down for nearly two years to have an in-depth exchange, so after this time, Gu Biao casually set up wine in Diào Yú Tái's own garden to receive old friends.

"Lao Ren, I think you seemed to have something to say last time, let's not see outside, just say something. Gu Biao specially opened a bottle of Lafite, which he copied from Kong Shangzhong four years ago, and poured a glass for each of them.

Ren Zhengyi has been honed in Huaxing Communications for nearly three years, and now he is in his early 40s, and he looks a little more vicissitudes than when he first left the infrastructure engineering corps.

He was a little embarrassed, but in the end he decided to say the decision directly, and then slowly explained: "I want to leave Huaxing and come out and work alone." ”

Ren Zhengyi has obviously been thinking about it for a long time, even if it seems very abrupt at the moment, it is only because Gu Biao has not communicated with him much in the past few years, and it is not Ren Zhengyi who pats his head to decide the future.

It will definitely not be a reckless decision for a person to be the vice president of a department-level central enterprise and to be able to decisively want to leave.

However, Ren Zhengyi also considered that Gu Biao might not understand, so he planned to wait for Gu Biao to ask rhetorically, and then explain the reason in detail.

Who knows, Gu Biao just picked up the cup and touched it with him, without asking the reason: "Okay, you think it's appropriate." Do you have a problem looking for me today? ”

Gu Biao's calmness made Ren Zhengyi a little confused.

He was stunned for a full ten seconds: "Don't you ask me why I left? You don't think I have failed you back then? I know that this is a bit unrighteous, the state canceled the formation of petrochemical soldiers back then, and it was Mr. Gu who pulled me on the communication boat."

Although I want to leave now, I still feel like I continue to do communication. You are the one who can embark on the road of communication. I'm sorry for your ......."

Gu Biao smiled: "What is there to be sorry for." At that time, I was the director of the preparatory committee of Huaxing Communications, and I was also the first director of the factory after the project was launched.

So don't be psychologically burdened. However, if you have reason to say it, I don't mind hearing it. "Bump into an idol as a boyfriend

As soon as Gu Biao said this, Ren Zhengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Gu's open-mindedness is very comparable.

Ren Zhengyi took a sip of Lafite, felt uncomfortable, couldn't get used to drinking, sighed, and asked, "Is there anything white?"

Gu Biao couldn't help laughing, got up and walked to the door of the restaurant, whispered a word to the maid waiting outside, and brought back a bottle of Moutai after a while.

Usually, when Gu Biao invites guests, there are female servants waiting by him, and it is very convenient to greet him. However, today Gu Biao realized that there might be some confidential discussions, so he asked the maid to wait outside the door.

After the wine came, Ren Zhengyi didn't dare to let Gu Biao do it, so he took it himself, and only poured himself a drink. After drinking a small cup of three and a half taels, he spoke:

"Mr. Gu, before you left, you said, 'We can build this generation, we can follow the next generation, and then we will strive to be equal with the technology of the Americans, I haven't forgotten.

However, in the past few years in Huaxing, I always feel that the strategy is a little rigid, and I follow too tightly, completely imitating the advantages of Motorola. When it comes to Motorola's communication products, our production links can keep up, so we will be slack.

At the beginning of this year, in fact, Motorola's mobile phones, as well as the production process and supporting of base stations for mobile phones, were reversed. And then what about it? The whole factory is waiting for the state to invest, hoping that the state will make decisions to lay out the network. If the country is not determined to set up the net, they continue to produce pagers and paging stations.

Anyway, the profit is still good now, and the number of orders for pagers in the past two years has been getting bigger and bigger, and everyone thinks that it is good to lie down in the comfort zone and grasp the production. When Motorola people come out with new products, let's learn reverse and spend money to get licensing......

I think this is too slow, a huge central enterprise, the leader of domestic civil communication electronics, just staring at an opponent. The gap between us and the developed countries is not only mobile phones and pagers, but we are backward in all aspects! In addition to Motorola, there are still so many blanks to be earned, developed, and worked hard.

However, the decision-makers in the factory just don't dare to invest in research and development, so they focus on the profits and taxes paid to the state every year. The higher the profit and tax, the better the performance, or just focus on the benefits that can be spread into the cost.

Mr. Fei is not a bad person, but unfortunately he only understands finance, does not understand technology, and does not have the courage to invest. After you left two years ago, although the ministry parachuted another factory director, you didn't let Mr. Fei, who was in charge of finance, directly transfer to the right leader on the spot. From then on, Mr. Fei was also the oldest in the factory. Once the central enterprises have a financial background at the helm, the ruthlessness in R&D will be gone. ”

Ren Zhengyi said a lot, as if he was afraid that Gu Biao would not understand why he wanted to leave, and that Gu Biao would regard him as a person who "was educated and cultivated by the state, but refused to serve the country".

"Actually, you don't need to say so much, I understand that no one is at fault in this matter. Gu Biao waved his hand to stop the other party from continuing to explain,

"The country has the difficulties of the state, everyone is mixed up in this circle. It is not anyone's fault that state-owned enterprises cannot take risks and use state investment to invest in technology, because risky things should have other forms of economic supplementation.

You see those desperate foreign joint ventures and private bosses, who win so brightly, but the proportion of losses is also high, two out of ten live this kind of risk, how can you let Mr. Fei take the risk. Now that you've figured it out, let's go. Do you have a specific direction now?"

Ren Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "At present, there is no more direction, just look at one or two points, I think Huaxing should not only focus on Motorola."

We Chinese are currently too backward in the field of civil communication electronics, not only because there is no mobile phone and no pager. The switches used in the post and telecommunications bureaus are all manual, and the few that have changed the program-controlled switches have to rely on imports.

There are also fax machine business is also struggling, a few developed cities have introduced fax machine business, but the equipment on the side of the post and telecommunications bureau is not up to standard, and the development of terminal fax machine is also limited. Of course, I don't plan to make fax machines, so I'm going to focus on the equipment on the side of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau for the time being. ”

Ren Zhengyi didn't even come up with the technical terms of "carrier-side business" or "network-side equipment", because there are no such trendy terms yet. But what he wants to do, he knows very well in his heart.

Obviously, he has seen that staying in Huaxing, it is impossible to have breakthrough R&D investment for the time being to make up for other shortcomings. There's so much involved.

Moreover, when Huaxing Communications was established, it was subordinate to the mouth pipe of the electronic industry, and it was limited to the field of "wireless communication" at that time, including pagers and Big Brother that had just appeared in the United States at that time.

And the further technical development of corded telephones is a bit out of bounds. Because according to the traditional view, the technology and equipment related to corded telephones are not "the original blank emerging market", so they should belong to the subordinate units of the relevant departments of posts and telecommunications that have existed for a long time.

Under the relevant departments of posts and telecommunications, there are also a bunch of technology-based state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, which will grow into zhōng diàn xìn in the future. Historically, before 1988, the domestic wired telephone system did not fully promote program-controlled exchanges, and there were still a large number of manual exchanges. Therefore, the relevant departments of posts and telecommunications do not think that this thing needs to have anything to do with the "electronics industry".

In other words, if you don't have any electronic technology, you can still make a corded phone.

The overlapping and overlapping rights of licensing rights are gradually highlighted with the advancement of technology, and the interests will become more and more entangled. Just like the PC era, Microsoft will not feel that the winDows system will be invaded by the tablet or mobile phone system, but in the era of win10, Microsoft has obviously proved with its own actions, they began to worry about and face up to the problem of "cross-hardware platform system connection" caused by technological progress.

Communication technology is always doing it, only to find that the electronics industry and the relevant departments of post and telecommunications have begun to overlap their licensing rights. At this time, only when you leave the system can you do business across circles and do business in new fields.

In fact, this may also be the reason why Ren Zhengyi only officially established an independent communication technology company in 1988.

Of course, Ren Zhengyi in that time and space did not have such good conditions as now, and he has not been able to accumulate industry knowledge and project experience in the field of communications since 84. It is precisely because of this that Ren Zhengyi in this life can thoroughly see what he wants a year and a half in advance, and make preparations for starting a business.

"Then do you have any difficulties now? Is it that the start-up capital is not enough?" After Gu Biao clarified the ins and outs with the other party, he no longer hid it, and asked bluntly.

Ren Zhengyi: "It's not that the money is not enough, at least not enough for a year and a half." Today is to tell you the bottom and come and understand. With my identity, the connections in the circle, and the projects to be done, after I go out, I can get tens of thousands of savings by myself and find a bank to borrow 200,000 low-interest loans, and I can still get a loan. You can borrow a part of it without interest, but it is estimated that it is not as much as 200,000. ”
