After breakfast in the cafeteria, Xiao Sui wanted to see what the pager signal station looked like.

Gu Biao also happened to be idle, so he called the person in charge of technical support of the contractor through the business card that Han Ting received yesterday.

When he saw each other, Gu Biao felt a little familiar.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, very modest and polite: "Mr. Gu, I am very happy to serve you, and I have admired your name for a long time." Ren Zhengyi, if you have any technical support questions about the use of pagers, you can consult me at any time, I am the construction leader and technical support engineer of the city's pager network construction. ”

While speaking, he diligently helped Gu Biao and others press the freight elevator of the hotel and went directly to the roof.

In the 80s, the hotel did not have electronic access control, so the freight elevator of the Zhaolong Hotel was actually guarded by a security guard, and only people he knew or checked his ID card would allow you to use the elevator.

It can be seen that the gold of the elevator is nowadays, as well as the high identity of the guests upstairs and the importance of safety. Even an elevator can hire a security guard to monitor it, and one stop is a day, 12 hours a day.

Dozens of seconds later, the elevator arrived at the top of the 21st floor, and when Gu Biao and Xiao Sui walked up to the rooftop, they saw a bunch of things composed of small antennas and electrical boxes.

It's roughly the same thing that Brother Dog faced when he hacked into the CTOS node in "Watch Dogs", a little bigger.

If you are an insider who is familiar with China Unicom and mobile base stations, then you can directly imagine it, and you don't need to use "Watch Dogs" to substitute it.

"I thought it was like a TV station, and I wanted to build a big tower. Xiao Sui covered her mouth curiously and quietly told her husband about her Xiaobai cognition.

Gu Biao smiled and patted her waist: "If it is built in the suburbs or rural areas in the future, of course it will be necessary to build an iron tower." This Zhaolong Hotel is already the tallest landmark building in the vicinity, more than 90 meters, and the signal can be transmitted far enough with the height of the building, what kind of iron tower do you need? I guess this station can cover a radius of several kilometers. ”

In the era of pagers, the signal requirements for the base station are not high, which is very different from mobile phones. Because the mobile phone is to ensure that the signal is continuously connected, otherwise the phone will be disconnected when it is called. No matter how weak the pager signal is, as long as it can occasionally receive one or two frames intermittently, the paging record can be delivered, and it doesn't matter if the signal is intermittent.

Xiao Sui listened, nodded embarrassedly, and looked at it from a distance, just like a young woman in literature and art who looked at science fiction.

Only then did Gu Biao have time to sort out his thoughts and talk to the technical support staff who explained.

"Mr. Ren, have we met? I think you're a little familiar. Are you from Cantonese Province?"

Gu Biao has realized that this Ren Zhengyi has the same name as the boss Ren of Xia Wei Technology in the later generations, and his appearance is vaguely similar, but he has changed from an old man to a middle-aged man of forty years old.

But he didn't know Ren Zhengyi's origin and early experience, only that later Shixia started a business in the Special Economic Zone for science and technology, so he casually guessed a Guangdong provincial origin.

Ren Zhengyi folded his hands in front of him, bowed slightly, and replied politely: "Mr. Gu has a good memory, I have seen you, but you should not have heard of me." I am not from Guangdong Province, but from Guizhou Province, and I studied in Shu Province in a junior college, studying construction engineering.

I have served in the infrastructure engineering corps for many years, but at the beginning of this year, the national unified system abolished the establishment of the infrastructure engineering corps, before the revocation, we served in the second phase of the Yizheng chemical fiber construction project, after the revocation of their own way out, just in time to catch up with this side to withdraw the professional construction troops, the people of the post and telecommunications bureau can not do it, I have taught myself computer, electronic and automatic control, and the organization recommended me to bring people. ”

Gu Biao secretly rejoiced in his heart, this resume should be all right, and he is the boss of the future generations.

The dismantling of the reorganization and reorganization of the infrastructure engineering corps was also a major event at the beginning of '83 and a prelude to the million-dollar disarmament in the following year. After all, economic construction should still be carried out in a market-oriented manner, and even the petroleum/petrochemical departments are engaged in engineering troops, which is a bit out of line with international standards. It is a remnant of the "iron man spirit" of the Qing Dynasty in the 60s.

Historically, Ren Zhengyi was in early 83 years after the withdrawal of the infrastructure engineering corps, he was forced to go to the sea as a contract foreman for three years, the wind and rain came and went, first to engage in various projects involving electronic and electrical technology construction, and then found out the direction of struggle, saved 20,000 yuan to run Xia Wei, focusing on the network side of telecommunications, building a telephone exchange.

Therefore, it is not much of a coincidence that this matter is now - because in 83 years you want to find out from the staff and technicians under the Hujiang Post and Telecommunications Bureau who understand wireless communication and electronic construction, it is almost impossible. The Chinese have only come into contact with paging stations for the first time, and low-educated workers, masters, and engineers simply can't handle it.

Yangzhou is not far from the Hujiang River, and it is logical to find two talented people with academic qualifications and technical qualifications from the newly disbanded infrastructure engineering unit on the Yangzhou side of the project. Ren Zhengyi has a college degree and also understands the disciplines of electronics and automatic control, and is already a very specialized senior talent in the engineering unit.

"No wonder, I remember, two years ago, when I accompanied some executives of CITIC Trust to inspect the construction progress of the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Project, I met you - you are in the infrastructure engineering corps, in the direction of petrochemical. At that time, Yizheng Chemical Fiber's yen trust bond financing was done by me and Boss Tong. ”

Gu Biao said, regained the bearing of leading the inspection work back then, and patted Ren Zhengyi on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Ren Zhengyi was quite aware of the grace of the encounter, and said with emotion: "You have a really good memory! I didn't expect that such a big boss as you would be able to remember all the ordinary engineers you saw when inspecting the work two or three years ago. ”

Gu Biao was very impressed by the other party's attitude, and he couldn't help but be complacent.

It's not that he doesn't have enough city, but when he thinks that the big guys in later generations have such a "sense of knowing" about him, normal people can't help but be complacent.

Gu Biao thought for a while, and asked very empathetically: "So, Brother Ren, have you thought about the way out in the future? You are helping Motorola to lay a signal station in Hujiang City, this construction should continue for a few months, right? I estimate that you have only covered two or three districts near the venue now, and there will definitely be no signal in a slightly remote place." ”

Ren Zhengyi was quite flattered: "No, no, no, Mr. Gu, how can you call me Brother Ren, if you are willing to make friends with me, just call me justice." I'm only a few years older, how can I afford such a heavy gift? ”

Gu Biao patted the other party on the shoulder: "Eh, you guy, you just came out of the army, you are 20 years older than me, what's wrong with me calling you brother? Let's get down to business. ”

Ren Zhengyi could only accept this setting and replied seriously: "Then I will be disrespectful, you are no longer right, at present, Motorola's pagers only have signals in Xu, Chang, and Jing districts, and the Jing case area is all near Zhabei."

The Municipal Telecommunications Bureau has given us the task of covering several more districts, at least the southern signal should cover the county center of Hujiang County, and the northern Zhabei and Pu districts should be covered. With so much contracting, it will be completed in about the middle of the year. I haven't thought about the follow-up plan yet, and some comrades-in-arms who are good at going to the place said that they want to introduce me to the project, maybe there will be an establishment, but I don't really want to go. After all, the major is not necessarily the right one, and we have learned so many technologies, there must always be a place for us. ”

While listening, Gu Biao sketched a rough map in his mind.

The Zhaolong Hotel where he lives is roughly located in the core area of the Xujia business district in later generations. However, it is only 83 years now, and the surrounding area is full of old-fashioned low-rise houses with only 3 floors, and the greenery is very good, and the proportion of green space is very high.

As for the Jingxin District in the north, it belonged to the absolute city center of Hujiang in later generations, but it is still relatively northerly, and Zhabei people will definitely not be regarded as city people by Hujiang people now. These core citizens, who will be classified into the quiet case area in a few decades, are still proper "Xiangwoning".

In the same way, the "Hujiang County" in the south is the Min and Song of later generations. When people there enter the city along the Humin Road in later generations, they will say that they want to "go to Hujiang", which shows that they do not regard themselves as Hujiang people at all.

The area to be covered by Ren Zhengyi, the contractor, is still relatively small, at least much smaller than the urban area of Hujiang in later generations, no wonder he will soon run out of work.

Gu Biao's mind turned, and he took the opportunity to test Shi En with the attitude of inspecting the leader: "Then what do you think, how about Motorola's product technology? Are you interested in undertaking the construction of these network equipment for a long time in the future?"

I believe that Motorola will not be satisfied with only developing in Shanghai, and with Motorola's expansion speed, it is still no problem to feed a small contingent of infrastructure engineering troops who have been transferred to work. Now that Motorola has a request for me, it is not difficult for me to bring a message to Mr. Gao Erwen. ”

He didn't want to interfere too much in Ren Zhengyi's life trajectory.

On the other hand, it was also because of Ren Zhengyi that he first came into contact with the communications industry, and he did not cultivate interest and determination.

If Gu Biao said directly to the other party: "I think you are a genius in communication, I want to promote you and invest in partnership business for you." ”

That would definitely be suspicious, thinking that his Gu Biao was not in his right mind.

On the other hand, Ren Zhengyi's ability and domestic foundation are not enough to enter the wireless communication industry.

In this case, it is better to provide Ren Zhengyi with an environment and sell personal favors, so that he can start from network construction and slowly cultivate his ability, vision and goals.

Ren Zhengyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you can always do supporting construction for Motorola, then of course it is the best, Mr. Gu, you are a big man, you can talk to the Galvin family, and you are out, of course there is no problem." ”

Gu Biao thought for a while: "Then do you have the capital?"

Ren Zhengyi was a little dumbfounded: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Biao: "You are just as a contractor, how can I help you? At least you have to register an engineering company." Then I struck while the iron was hot this time, and asked Mr. Galvin to sign a long-term contract with this engineering company, such as subcontracting the technical construction of Huapu to this company in the next two or three years. ”

Ren Zhengyi was a little timid: "I'm ...... If you ask a friend to borrow it, you can make up about 20,000 yuan if you count it all. ”

Gu Biao shrugged indifferently: "Twenty thousand yuan is a bit of a rip, so let's borrow a little from you." Count as a loan, not an equity investment, and if your construction company makes money in the future, you have to repay me, and the interest will be calculated.

I don't want to share the profits from your construction, I believe that doing construction for Motorola is just a temporary way for you to make a living, and it will not be your ideal. In the future, if you have other ideas, or you can see the future of the industry and figure out your own way, you are welcome to come to me again. ”

Of course, this construction company will not grow into the future Xia Wei Technology, it is just a stepping stone for the contractor to cross the river, and it is used to open his eyes and hone the team.

So of course, Gu Biao doesn't have to talk about any shares in this small company, just borrow money to keep a favor.

Ren Zhengyi was very moved: "You...... You're not afraid to lend me money, and you won't be able to pay it back if you lose it? Why did you help me?"

"My girlfriend, as well as many of my loyal bodyguards who helped me get out of the army, were all laid off by the army, and I can understand the difficulties of the people who have been laid off. And I think that you people are all down-to-earth and clean, and it is not easy for the infrastructure engineering troops to be withdrawn just now, so I believe I will not be wrong about people. ”
