For the release of the first batch of big brothers in China, Gu Biao obviously didn't pay attention to it.

He didn't even bother to know the news that the capital was close at hand, and he didn't care about Yuezhou and Hujiang even more.

In his opinion, the number of wealthy private bosses in Guangdong and Hujiang must be more than in Beijing, and they are all the kind of money that can see the light openly. If the capital can be sold, the sales channels of Yuezhou and Hujiang will only be better.

On the Hujiang side, because Xiao Sui happened to come to the meeting and had to go back after receiving the code word task, Gu Biao handed over the gift-giving machine to Xiao Sui and took it away.

On the Guangdong side, Gu Biao did not have any relatives, friends or business partners. So he just sent a secretary, took three big brothers with Guangdong network access license numbers, and sent them to the Special Economic Zone by plane.

Han Ting, Zhang Zhongmou and Shi Yuzhu were each given one, which was considered a gift to a partner and office equipment issued by the company, and everyone else could not give it.

Although these people usually mingle mainly in the Special Economic Zone, they occasionally go to the provincial capital of Guangdong. Sending a big brother is also a kind of show of favor or envelopment. {It is a gesture of goodwill to Han Ting, and it is a subordinate's encompassing to Zhang Zhongmou and Shi Yuzhu}

The rest of the Yuezhou numbers can be shipped in accordance with the regular market channels. With the scale of rich bosses in the south in 86, more than 80 units should be easily sold.

Some people may wonder: after deducting 3 units from 100 units, why are there only 80 units left?

That's because when he was in the capital, Gu Biao had already sold and reserved more than 10 national roamers. In the end, the first batch of mobile phones put into use in the country will not be 300 units, but more than 280 units.

However, the machines bought by the people of Yuezhou and Hujiang do not mean that they cannot roam at all in the future, but that the post and telecommunications departments will upgrade the switching system on the Internet side next year or the year after next, and they will be able to roam. In addition, those new machines that will be roamed in the future will be charged an additional roaming fee based on the duration of the roaming call.

Of course, people who can afford to buy a mobile phone for 180,000 yuan will not care about this call roaming fee, even if it is a few dollars extra per minute.

As an aside, roaming is actually not technically difficult, and it was possible when Motorola's first mobile phone was first introduced in '86.

In terms of technical cost, as long as the exchange capacity is sufficient, the cost of the operator will not be much higher after a mobile phone is transferred to a new city, as long as the base station information is transferred once at the beginning.

In the future, operators will charge high roaming fees just to ensure that the network construction costs in each place can be earned back from local users and prevent them from crossing the border.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the student card package in Wuyue Province was almost the most preferential in most provinces, with a monthly subscription fee of 10 yuan for 1,000 messages and 50 hours of virtual network calls. The student card package in Jiangnan Province next door was only 400 text messages for 10 yuan at that time, and the calls were also more expensive.

Therefore, some of Gu Biao's high school classmates who were admitted to Jinling to study in college in his previous life all went to Jinling from his hometown with a good student card.

It can be seen that if roaming fees are not charged, the national market is easy to form vicious competition, that is, all mobile users in the country go to the cheapest and most preferential province to open a card, and then get back to their own province.

In this way, all the money has been earned by the branch of the province with the most preferential treatment, and what money will other remote provinces take to continue to build signal coverage in mountainous areas? It is necessary to carry out punitive roaming and collection of "neighboring provinces to open cards and take back to their own provinces" in order to ensure that "you use the money of which province to build the base station, you will hand over the telephone bill to the branch of which province" and ensure that the builder and the charging party are consistent.

At the end of the day, it's driven by business reasons, not technical reasons.

However, regardless of the "roaming" feature, the actual cost will be reduced in the future.

At least for now, at this point in time of October 1986. If you want your big brother to make "calls in the core urban areas of the country's three first-tier cities, as well as other cities across the country that have opened mobile phone services in the near future".

Then you'll have to pay an extra $80,000.

Therefore, from the perspective of identity symbolism, having a machine that roams the whole country this year and next year can gain an additional wave of social status. It's equivalent to other Big Brother users driving Audi and you driving Mercedes-Benz.

……

Later that day, Xiao Sui personally dragged a suitcase as big as a bunch of bricks and got off the plane from Hongqiao Airport.

Because her trip was a private matter, she didn't let the bodyguard drive to wait, and after coming out of the airport, she just took a taxi and went straight home.

The Xiao family's house in Hujiang was redistributed in the first half of the year, and the conditions became much better.

It was a downtown community that had just been built last year, which was originally a dilapidated alley of the Republic of China, and was vacated by demolition.

The location is quite good, one or two hundred meters east of the big world, and it is only half a stop to the Bund river.

The building is a six-story small bungalow, each house has an anti-theft door with reinforced concrete, and the exterior wall is pasted with a mosaic that was already very good at that time. Xiao's house is on the third floor of the relatively valuable house, and the house type is a rare three-bedroom and one living room, 80 square meters.

This kind of house, of course, is far from comparable to the conditions of any of Gu Wei's residences. But Xiao Sui has rarely lived in Hujiang in recent years, and the elders in the family don't want to be too eye-catching and hateful, so they think it's also very good.

After all, Xiao Sui has no name yet. In addition, until she won the Contradictory Literature Award at the end of last year, Xiao Sui wanted to keep a low profile, so that it seemed that her career achievements were all spelled out by herself, and she didn't want to be seen as "a woman who Gu Biao wanted to support, so she became famous".

Therefore, the conditions of the Xiao family, I really can't blame Gu Biao for "not returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and watching his relatives suffer poverty".

And in good conscience, in 86, the 80-square-meter small western-style building in the city center was already a very oily state-owned unit, and the treatment given to the leaders was distributed.

Since this house did not use Gu Wei's favors, it was obviously the indicators of the Xiao family's unit to use this house, and it was Xu Xu, the director of Hujiang Film Studio, who overrode public opinion, and took the original dormitory in the factory and replaced it with this.

When Xu Wei first had business dealings with Gu Biao and Xiao Sui, he was just a production director in the factory. However, over the years, with a little fairy spirit, good performance, and ability to transfer resources, it is logical to climb to the factory director.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the mainland screening rights of "Terminator" and "First Blood" bought by China Film Imports, but China Film Imports itself is only a distribution company and has no production power, so it still has to find translation studios under the three major studios to translate and dub. Xu Xuan has a relationship with Gu Biao, of course, he can grab the translation list of these blockbusters, and this alone is enough for Hujiang Studios to get a little bit of the benefits leaked out of his fingers from China Film Imports, which is enough for Hujiang Studios to far overshadow their counterparts in Beijing and Chuncheng.

If this kind of cadre who can hug his thick thighs does not take over the work of the factory director, who will still be able to take over? Who would dare to disagree with this kind of new factory director who wants to reward him for his meritorious deeds?

At the same time, the pager worth more than 10,000 yuan that Xiao Sui's mother, Su Ping, lent to Xu Wei two years ago may have also played a role in the decision to divide the room.

Because every time Xu Xuan rang the pager, he would be reminded of the precautions of "the Xiao family is following Gu Biao", so that every time there is a good thing, he will give priority to the Xiao family.

……

"Mom, I'm back. ”

As soon as he arrived home, he opened the lock and pushed the door, and before he saw anyone, Xiao Sui took the initiative to greet him.

Su Ping was watching TV in the bedroom, and when she heard the voice, she dragged her slippers out, and was a little surprised: "Why did you come back after only two days? Didn't you say that I wanted to ask you to help write an autobiography? He didn't keep you for a few more days?"

The Xiao family didn't know about the twists and turns between Xiao Sui, Gu Biao, and Mina, but they just thought that because Xiao Sui was busy in retreat last year to write books and win awards, he snubbed Gu Biao, so the relationship between the two was a little cold.

So seeing that Xiao Sui traveled thousands of miles to the capital this time and came back after not staying for two days, I couldn't help but be even more worried.

Xiao Sui hurriedly explained: "Mom, don't think about it. He was busy, and after a while, I accompanied him to Qiantang, and I had time to discuss work slowly. This time, he asked me to come back first, and he brought the gifts over, these are big brother's phone calls, and it is also a courtesy to call all the business partners in Hujiang. ”

Su Ping was not surprised when she heard this, although she already vaguely knew that a big brother could be worth 180,000, but after all, she had seen Gu Fei's big money, and these were nothing.

It is estimated that those colleagues and leaders of Hujiang Studio will be surprised to see this new thing.

She thought about it for a while, and said to her daughter in a consultative tone: "If Xiao Gu doesn't give a specific explanation to who to send, you can take one and give it to your Uncle Xu." Let's not say that we sent it ourselves, let's just say that it means Gu Biao.

When it is Tiankun Film Company to a partner, it is convenient for him to work and contact business, not for individuals. In this way, the factory director will not be embarrassed to save face, and think that we are repaying the favor for the matter of dividing the house. ”

With the value of a house in Hujiang City today, the 80-square-meter apartment in Puxi, which is close to the Bund and the big world, is certainly not worth the money of a big brother. There is at least a three-fold price difference, and all the money on the surface and the resources below the table that are unclear have been converted into money.

However, Xu Wei gave priority to the Xiao family to share the house, not because of the eldest brother, but more because of the pager two or three years ago. In 84, you gave people a pager with a caller ID, which is worth a suite in the urban area of Shanghai.

Xiao Sui is not a caring person, and she is still willing to pay filial piety to the elders of the unit who have been taking care of their family.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow. Xiao Sui agreed.

Su Ping: "You'd better be early tomorrow and go directly to the Bund with me." Director Xu has not been in the factory for the past two days, and has taken on an urgent task in the factory in the past few days, and tomorrow he will bring a documentary crew to the Bund to shoot a few sets of shots.

The reception for the foreigners will be arranged on the yacht 'Brittana' before tomorrow afternoon, and the ship will be parked at Ponte 16 Pier. Let's talk to him before we get to work. ”
