Chapter 604 - Strange Failure of Mobile Phone Mobile Network
The pager of the well-known JNEC company could only hide in the shadows, swallow some of the leftovers that Feixun drank and received some small orders at almost cost price, and barely kept the pager R&D department and production department from being laid off and bankrupt. However, the leaders responsible for the R&D and production of pagers were replaced by the company's headquarters.
With the change of these leaders, the leaders of JNEC who are responsible for the development and production of pagers slowly forgot their resentment against Feixun Group, and only regarded Feixun Group as a strong opponent, and even began to admire Feixun Group. Because the Japanese people have the element of worshipping the strong, when they think they can't defeat the other, they are willing to bend down and worship.
JNEC's worship of the Flying Signal Group reached its peak after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, especially when the Flying Message Group used the Mi-26 helicopter as an emergency communication equipment to connect the analog mobile communication system produced by JNEC, so that the JNEC analog mobile phone could make a call from the earthquake rubble, causing many victims to express their gratitude to JNEC for saving their lives and making JNEC's reputation flourish, the JNEC leadership knew that they were sticking to the light of the Flying Signal Group, and it was the Flying Signal Group that achieved their good reputation。
In order to express their gratitude to Feixun Group, they approached Feixun Group and offered to accept Feixun Group's pager production technology at the best price and purchase the production license of Feixun Group's pagers.
Ren Zhenfei not only packaged and sold all the technology of the pager to JNEC, gave them a license for the production of pagers, but also allowed their products to be sold worldwide.
Naturally, JNEC was overjoyed and signed the contract as quickly as possible, paying a whopping $1.2 billion in technology transfer fees. The two sides also held a banquet to celebrate the successful signing of the contract, and also held a high-scale press conference.
At the press conference, the president of JNEC first thanked the Feixun Group for its selflessness, reviewed the outstanding performance of the Feixun Group in the Great Hanshin Earthquake, and was also happy that his company has obtained so many pager production technologies, and asserted that the future pager will be the world of the Feixun Group and JNEC, and the two companies will share the market profits of a large number of pagers.
The excited president of JNEC said their estimate: there is still more than 50 billion dollars in the pager market, and JNEC can carve up at least one-third of the market, that is, it has a market share of 18 billion US dollars.
In the wake of this press conference, the stock price of JNEC Corporation soared.
Under the leadership of JNEC, several more companies later came to Feixun Group to request the transfer of pager technology and request to obtain a license for the production of pagers. Because Feixun Group and JNEC signed an exclusivity agreement, Feixun Group did not care about JNEC's dissatisfaction, and continued to transfer these technologies on a large scale and continuously issued production technology licenses.
It can really be said that he has made a lot of money, and these funds have completely solved Ren Zhenfei's capital needs and solved the problem of lack of funds for him to rapidly expand his production capacity. Ren Zhenfei not only does not need to take money from Jiang Xinwei now, but he can allocate a large amount of funds to scientific research institutions related to the Huawei branch.
JNEC is a little unhappy with the technology transfer of the Fly-On Group, but they are not too frustrated, believing that they can at least a quarter, if not a third of the global market share. Even if it's only one-fifth, that's a 10 billion dollar business, no loss!
If it was in the previous life, the president of JNEC was absolutely correct in his estimation of the market, and even underestimated this market. You must know that Huaxia alone has a market share of tens of billions of dollars: in 1998, the sales of Huaxia pagers were 20 million units, and each unit had a market share of 3 billion US dollars at 150 US dollars!
It's a pity that this life is not the previous life, and the pager market in Huaxia has shrunk greatly in this life.
All of this is caused by the Fly-On Group:
On the one hand, because of the good quality of the pagers of the Flying News Group, the Chinese people prefer to buy the pagers of the Flying News Group rather than the pagers of foreign countries. It is also because of the good quality of the pagers of the Feixun Group, and the relevant departments have deliberately restricted the import of foreign pagers, so that the import of pagers in this life is far less casual than in the previous life, and there are not too many businessmen who are willing to import foreign pagers: they can't be sold if they are imported.
As the saying goes: someone does something that kills, but no one does something that costs money.
On the other hand, because of the good quality of the pagers of the Feixun Group, the competition of foreign pagers cannot be achieved, and their main energy has become to improve and upgrade their pagers, and strive to compete with the pagers of the Feixun Group in technology. In this way, their energy and funds will naturally be dispersed, and where will they still have the heart to squeeze open the door of the Huaxia market? Moreover, in the face of the aggressive attack of the Feixun Group, they have no choice but to give up a lot of their own country's market, and there is absolutely no way to come to Huaxia to compete.
There are two deep-seated problems in the unpopular market: first, the pager production of Feixun Group is limited, and under the requirements of relevant departments, Feixun Group's pagers are more exported to earn foreign exchange, and a small part is used to meet the needs of the domestic market. Without enough pager hype, this market can't be hot if it wants to.
Second, the relevant departments have actively guided the public opinion propaganda about pagers, restricted those erroneous remarks that "pagers are a symbol of status" and "pagers are the standard for successful people" are flying all over the sky, so that the people can rationally look at the new thing of pagers, and have also introduced policies to restrict the undisciplined hype carried out by the post and telecommunications departments in their previous lives for the sake of business development.
Pagers are not popular in China, and when digital mobile phones appear, when people know that digital mobile phones can communicate with SMS, people's desire to buy pagers is lower, and they are looking forward to their cities to establish a digital mobile communication network as soon as possible, and they are looking forward to buying digital mobile phones as soon as possible.
Naturally, the stock price of JNEC began to turn downward.
The rise and fall of the company's stock price was naturally also taken advantage of by Mayony's investment company, which made East-JM investment company make a lot of money.
Seeing that JNEC was finally finished, Jiang Xinwei's heart was finally comfortable, and the depression in his heart since the Hanshin earthquake raised the value of JNEC was swept away. At the same time, he is also happy that his CDMA98 digital mobile communication has become the darling of the market as soon as it comes out.
However, every new product cannot mature immediately, and there are problems of one kind or another. No, Jiang Xinwei received a call from Lu Xiangtao and asked him to arrange someone to deal with the failure of the digital mobile communication system in Jintian City, and solve the problem that digital mobile phone users often drop calls, receive roaming signals at home, and call neighbors are long-distance calls.
The so-called mobile phone dropped call means that the call that should be normal is suddenly interrupted, and you must redial if you want to continue the call.
This naturally makes mobile phone users inexplicably annoyed, not to mention the waste of phone bills, the most important thing is to delay things.
Minister Lu Xiangtao of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications personally called him last night and said: "Jiang Dong, why is there no such phenomenon in other places? Now Jintian City is about to hold the East Asia Machinery Products Expo, if this problem is not solved, not only your Feixun Group's products will be questioned by users, but also the image of Jintian City will be affected. ”
After hanging up Lu Xiangtao's phone, Jiang Xinwei immediately called Ren Zhenfei and asked him if he knew about the failure of the mobile communication network in Jintian City, Ren Zhenfei gave him a positive answer, but he said: "The day before yesterday, we sent experts over, but the problem has not been finally solved." They are now researching to solve the problem before the expo takes place. ”
Hearing that Ren Zhenfei's confidence seemed to be a little insufficient, it was estimated that those experts had not yet found the crux of the problem, so Jiang Xinwei decided to go there in person to see what caused it.
In the conference room of the maintenance department of the Jintian Municipal Telecommunications Bureau, Jiang Xinwei met with experts from the Telecommunications Bureau and experts sent by Feixun Group. Because Jiang Xinwei and Ren Zhenfei had talked about hiding their identities before coming, Jiang Xinwei did not cause a sensation when he entered the conference room, and they all thought that he was just an ordinary engineer stationed in the field of Feixun Group.
Only Zhang Binghan, the expert headed by Feixun Group, recognized Jiang Xinwei, although his heart was turbulent, but he received a call from Ren Zhenfei, and he also remained silent at this time, only casting a look of awe and understanding to Jiang Xinwei.
Although Jiang Xinwei attended as an engineer stationed in other places, Zhang Binghan still did not dare to slack off, and he took the opportunity to give the experts of the Jintian Municipal Telecommunications Bureau the opportunity to tell the problem of the fault to roughly explain the situation here, which made many experts feel inexplicable, and felt that Zhang Binghan was very verbose today: "Everyone knows the fault situation, but they have not found the specific reason, is it necessary for you to tell the details so much?"
Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, Zhang Binghan personally hung a map of the administrative division of Jintian City on the wall in front of him, pointed to the map and said: "We have established a digital mobile communication network in Jintian City and around Jintian City. With the exception of this Jinlan district in Jintian City, the communication network in other urban areas and several surrounding suburban counties is performing normally. In particular, the communication quality indicators of the digital mobile communication network in the five counties under its jurisdiction are much higher than those of the analog mobile network in this region. Director Sun, don't you say?"
Sun Enzhu from the Maintenance Department of the Telecommunications Bureau looked at Zhang Binghan a little puzzled, and seeing that the other party looked serious, he nodded and said, "Not bad." At present, except for Jinlan District, there are few failures in other places, and the communication quality of the network is indeed much better than that of the analog mobile communication network. ”
