Chapter 255: Ma Wei's big deal, 2G network covers the whole country
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ma Wei! You have come so far from Russia, and we at Unicom will naturally do our best to receive you at the airport. Fang Zhengde said to Ma Wei eloquently.
Hearing the group of subordinates behind him, I wondered when the chairman was so "eloquent". I don't usually see him talk like that.
However, just as Fang Zhengde had just finished speaking. I saw Ma Guoqing, the operation director of China Mobile who finished the phone call with the boss, suddenly opened the car door with anxiety, and came to Ma Wei with the president's female secretary to say hello.
"Hello, hello! Mr. Mavi from Russia, I'm so sorry! We are from China Mobile, and the boss is in a traffic jam on the way here, so I'm afraid he will be a little late. I'm really sorry!" Ma Guoqing also knew that the level of reception he received was not enough. Including the little red flag he drove, compared to Ma Wei's Rolls-Royce Phantom Führer, it was simply 108,000 miles behind.
To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that even running luggage can't be enough. Because there are also Mercedes-Benz S600 and Mercedes-Benz 230 driven by Unicom here.
After hearing this, Ma Wei shook his head with a smile, he really didn't care about these vain reception problems. In 2001, China Mobile, China Unicom, was still in the development stage. Including the 3G mobile network, it was also developed several years later than other developed countries.
It can be seen that at this time, the overall level of the communications industry is still in its infancy. This is just the elimination of 1G, and 2G has not yet become popular.
……
An hour and a half later, Ma Wei, accompanied by Fang Zhengde, president of Unicom, and others, arrived at a five-star hotel in the center of Beijing. In a hurry, Wang Liangan, president of China Mobile, also rushed to the hotel to meet Ma Wei under the reminder of the director and secretary.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ma Wei! I happened to encounter a traffic jam on the road, and I was late, I'm really sorry!" Wang Liangan fortunately didn't say that the car broke down on the road, otherwise this reason would not be right.
However, Ma Wei doesn't mind this kind of small thing, people who do big things are not limited to small things, "It's okay, President Wang Liangan, I was just about to talk about investment." ”
Ma Wei said, shaking hands with Wang Liangan. Then he casually looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to eat, "Why don't we talk while eating." ”
"Okay, no problem, listen to your Mr. Ma Wei!" Fang Zhengde and Wang Liangan nodded and replied.
The time when Ma Wei looked at it casually just now, others may not know. But Fang Zhengde, president of China Unicom, and Wang Liangan, president of China Mobile, who stood in front of him, saw it really well!
The diamond watch that Ma Weina wears on his left wrist was auctioned off for $4 million, or more than 38 million yuan, some time ago, and is the Hublot "Big Bang" watch! This watch is currently at a sky-high price of 38 million yuan, ranking first among the most expensive watches in the world.
The number of diamonds is also the largest in the world today, as high as 1,282. Even if you don't count the craftsmanship of the watch itself, these diamonds are worth tens of millions of yuan!
Hublot is the first Swiss watch brand to combine precious metals and natural rubber as raw materials. Its birth has revolutionized the world of watchmaking, both in terms of the materials used in watchmaking and the unique aesthetic concept of the watch.
As the saying goes, the poor play the car, the rich play the watch. This is the world's first sky-high watch, when Ma Wei was bored at home, and on a whim, he went to the auction in seconds. Anyway, it's not expensive for him, and wearing it on his hand can almost be worth more than 30 Mercedes-Benz S600, and 60 Mercedes-Benz 230......
In case you walk out on foot in the future and see those rich second-generation driving sports cars and driving luxury cars to show off in front of you...... The price of Ma Wei's watch on his left hand is enough to kill them in seconds. However, others rarely have the opportunity to show off in front of him, and it is often someone who shows off others' faces.
"Mr. Ma Wei, take the liberty of asking you? Is this watch on your wrist the Hublot watch that was auctioned at the Geneva auction a few days ago?" While taking the elevator, Fang Zhengde, president of Unicom, and Wang Liangan, president of China Mobile, asked Ma Wei curiously.
The two CEOs also like famous watches, but when they asked, they quietly pulled their sleeves outward. Cover the watch that was originally exposed.
Not for anything else, just because the Omega worn by Mr. Fang Zhengde and the Rolex worn by Mr. Wang Liangan are really too big compared to Ma Wei's Hublot "Big Bang"! There are two more "zeros"! Can this Nima not cover it...... Unless he doesn't know the goods and can't recognize the sky-high watch in Ma Wei's hand.
"Sort of, Mr. Fang, Mr. Wang. Ma Wei said, so he took off the diamond watch on his wrist and showed it to the two communication industry tycoons in front of him for a closer look.
Seeing Ma Wei's move, Fang Zhengde, president of Unicom, and Wang Liangan, president of China Mobile, hurriedly took the watch with both hands.
Then he was amazed and praised, "Tut-tut, Mr. Mavi, this Hublot watch of yours is really exquisite." This diamond is worth more than 1,200 pieces, right? Now it is worth 38 million, and after two or three years, the price will definitely rise by half, at least. ”
What kind of character, what kind of words to say, it's all based on the object. China Mobile, the two CEOs of China Unicom, usually in the company, belong to the high level. But when it came to Mavi's side, the attitude was immediately different......
"Feel free to add value or something, just buy it and like it. Ma Wei said in a faint voice. He took the watch handed by Wang Liangan, and then took it with his wrist. This natural temperament is not something that others can imitate if they want to.
Seeing the first two CEOs, I couldn't help but praise again. No way, who let Ma Wei have money in his pocket. And it's in dollars. The popularization and development of the communications industry requires a lot of money, as well as technology. in order to catch up with the level of developed countries.
Two minutes later, the trio took the hotel elevator to the revolving seafood restaurant on the top floor. Based on the basic operation of the local tyrant, the entire floor of the restaurant was covered by Ma Wei. Seafood, wine, whatever is high-end, anyway, it is all trivial for Ma Wei.
Even if everyone eats with an open stomach and picks the most expensive one, it can't cover the interest of one day in Ma Wei's bank deposit......
After a full meal, Ma Wei sat in the landscape position of the hotel, looking out the window at the night of the capital. Then the other party Zhengde and Wang Liangan, who spoke, said, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Wang, I have a question for the two of you." ”
"Any questions you may have, Mr. Mavi. Fang Zhengde and Wang Liangan replied politely.
"My question is, if all of China, including some remote mountain villages, are covered by 2G networks, how much infrastructure will be needed and how much will it cost?"
