Tan family cuisine is one of the most famous official dishes in China, as the family heirloom banquet of the late Qing Dynasty bureaucrat Tan Zongjun, it is known for its exquisite ingredients, delicious and soft and tender, and it tastes unique, but in addition to Du Qiu, several people here are either locals in the capital or people who have lived in the capital for a long time, and all of them have a history and have eaten many times, so they don't care too much about the dishes, but focus on business with Snapdragon.

"Du Qiu, I have always wondered, you did a good job in the capital before, why did you suddenly move the Snapdragon to Cloud City?" Wan Pingguo put some white fungus stew in the bowl and said: " The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, rich in resources, as long as there is a little noise, the whole country can know, I only have 30 million funds in the network, shouting a few slogans to the outside world, on several newspapers, Wang Peng has 400 million funds in the information industry, last year from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications got the approval to engage in Internet business, but he is in Pengcheng, no matter how tossed no one knows. ”

"400 million?" Liu Yunlai, who was eating shark fin, was a little surprised, looked up and said: "Boss Wan, I thought you were the richest one among the five companies that got the Internet service license, but I didn't expect that there would be even richer owners, what is the origin of this Wang Peng? Where did he get so much money?"

"This man is very mysterious, I haven't seen it, I only heard that it has something to do with the army. Wan Pingguo was more familiar with him, picked up the wine glass and touched it, and said, "You have a close relationship with the army, you can go and inquire." ”

"I've been out of the army for many years, and I'm still close. Sun Shaojie helped her husband clear up, and then said regretfully: "Du Qiu, how good it would be if you put Snapdragon in the capital, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of media coverage, it will take a big advantage, such as this cooperation with Microsoft, if you are in the capital, you can find heavyweights to cheer at will when you sign the contract, and then you will definitely be on the front page of "News Network" or "People's Daily". ”

When Chen Dayou and Silverberg signed a contract, Sanjiang Provincial TV went to shoot a news clip, but after being sent to CCTV, he was shot and failed to appear on the "News Network".

According to the gossip revealed by Jiang Danfeng, Chen Dayou was very disappointed in this, and vowed to block CCTV from love to hate, and resolutely refused to accept their interviews in the future, nor did he resolutely not appear on their programs - although so far, no CCTV reporter has interviewed him, and he has never appeared on CCTV programs.

"Everything in the capital is good, but there is a little bit of it. Du Qiu nodded Wan Guoping and Zhang Shuxin with his hand, and said: "There are too many competitors, and it is difficult for Snapdragon to get ahead, so just hide away and be a country overlord." ”

"You Snapdragon are really doing technology, and Wan Pingguo and I are doing the service industry, not the same business, how can there be any competition. Zhang Shuxin shook his hand and said: "Du Qiu, no matter how I think you are not a person without courage and ambition, there must be a reason for you to go to Cloud City, say it and listen to it, if Cloud City is really that good, I will also move the company over there for development." ”

"It's really because there are too many competitors, there is an old saying, rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix, although the capital has all kinds of convenience, but there are too many large companies, the government does not pay attention to us, although the economy of Yuncheng is a little worse, but the government treats the company as a baby, you can do technology with peace of mind. ”

In fact, for the Internet industry in the 90s, the best entrepreneurial city is Pengcheng, because it is close to Hong Kong, it can be connected to the international Internet through the submarine cable there, which is faster than the network speed of other cities in the mainland, and the economy is active, open-minded, and friendly to small and medium-sized enterprises, so it has seized the first-mover advantage, and has been the most prosperous city in China's IT industry since 2000.

In addition to Pengcheng, the competition difference between the rest of the large and medium-sized cities is not obvious, although the capital and Pujiang have a large population and developed economy, but the bureaucracy is too strong, the government is more conservative, does not pay attention to the Internet industry at all, and does not look down on small companies like Snapdragon, can not get too good preferential policies, and the cost of living and work is high, and the Internet industry and manufacturing industry are different, the need for supporting facilities is very little, as long as there is a computer and a network, where to work is the same, so there is no need to stick to the big city.

Although Yuncheng is not near the sea, it is not far from Pujiang, and as a famous city of science and education, there are three key universities and research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the talent reserve is relatively sufficient, which can fully support the early development of the company, and the local economy is very general, Snapdragon makes a big news every once in a while, which belongs to the existence of a flock of chickens, the government should look at it as a son, and I can't wait to give all the benefits that can be given, which is more beneficial than the development of big cities, such as the electronic tax calculation software, which can easily get orders in Yuncheng, and don't even think about it in Beijing, those intertwined software companies in Zhongguancun have already gnawed all the bones。

Of course, the most important reason is that Du Qiu is a very nostalgic otaku, who has personally transformed his hometown into a well-known high-tech town in China and even the world......

After a few people chatted for a while, Zhang Shuxin talked about the topic of high Internet costs, and encouraged Wan Guoping to form an alliance with her to negotiate with the Telecommunications Bureau for preferential treatment.

"Shaojie, you help us advocate more in the "Science and Technology Daily", put some pressure on the telecommunications bureau, don't patronize and suck blood, or let some blood out. ”

"Sister Zhang, "Science and Technology Daily" is no better than "People's Daily", and the articles on it have little influence on bureaucrats. Sun Shaojie shook his head and smiled, and said: "And the telecommunications sector is owned by the state, and there is no independent pricing power, and the Ministry of Finance has the final say on how much money it charges." ”

Du Qiu suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of VCDs and DVDs?"

"VCD, I know, the DVD player, it's selling very well now. Zhang Shuxin was a little puzzled and asked, "What is a DVD?"

"DVD is also a kind of DVD player, which is still in a state of research and development, and has not been officially put into production. Du Qiu explained the difference between the two, and then said: "Developed countries in Europe and the United States have higher requirements for many things, such as DVD players, they feel that VCD picture quality is too poor, and they can't record programs like VCRs, so they have no interest in it, but in China it is different, because VCRs are too expensive and not popular, so VCDs are very popular and sell very well." ”

He took a sip of tea from his teacup and continued: "In the Internet access technology, European and American countries have also made such a mistake, the United States has a very famous scientific research institution, called Bell Labs, they invented a new technology for Internet access in 1989, called DSL, DSL is divided into symmetrical and asymmetrical two situations, of which the technology of asymmetric upstream and downstream bandwidth is called ADSL, ADSL's theoretical uplink rate is 1Mbps, and the downlink rate is 8Mbps. ”

In 1995, 56K modems were not yet popular, and the fastest on the market was only 33.6K, and ADSL was hundreds of times faster than it, so Wan Pingguo was surprised and asked with wide eyes: "So fast?!"

Zhang Shuxin didn't pay much attention to it, and said while drinking soup: "This technology uses optical fiber, right? ”

"This technology doesn't require optical fiber, and it can use an ordinary phone line like dial-up Internet access, but it needs to install a splitter on the client side, which is more expensive, so it can't be promoted for a long time, but ......" Du Qiu stopped and glanced at the two of them, and then continued: " If the rate is reduced, such as the downlink rate from 8Mbps to 1.5Mbps, there is no need for a splitter, only a special modem needs to be installed, and users can also make calls while surfing the Internet, in other words, using ADSL to access the Internet does not need to go through the telephone exchange of the telecommunications bureau, so there is no need to pay additional telephone bills, only need to pay Internet fees. ”

Zhang Shuxin was greatly surprised, put down the spoon, and asked repeatedly: "Which company has the production of this special cat? How much is a one?"

Wan Pingguo was a little surprised, and asked in disbelief: "This technology needs the support of the telecommunications department, right?"

"We do need their support, but it's just retrofitting existing lines, and the cost is much lower than laying fiber. Du Qiu made a slightly calmer gesture and said: "I just said that European and American countries have relatively high requirements, so they tossed for several years, and never thought of reducing the rate, so now there is no manufacturer to produce this low-rate ADSL equipment, just like VCD, as early as 1993, Sony and Philip and other manufacturers have formulated VCD standards, but have not been produced, desperately to study DVD, so last year was Wan Yan took the lead and produced it in China." ”

"Du Qiu, do you mean that we can find a manufacturer in China to produce this kind of ADSL equipment ourselves?"

"The American National Standards Institute developed a draft standard for ADSL last year, so I only know a little bit about that, but I don't know exactly how to produce it. ”

Zhang Shuxin and Wan Pingguo glanced at each other, and then said: "Wan Pingguo, I have a relationship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and you have a relationship with Stanford at Qingcheng University. ”

Wan Pingguo nodded again and again, indicating that there was no problem, and said with emotion and excitement: "If the network speed is really as fast as Du Qiu said, and the transformation price is acceptable, then this ADSL is a great good thing, especially suitable for China's national conditions." ”

"Fast internet is good, but the biggest advantage is that you don't have to pay a separate phone bill. ”

Sun Shaojie and Liu Yunlai also glanced at each other, but didn't say anything. (To be continued.) )
