Chapter 527: Flying over the Yellow River
The promotion of PHS business in Binhai City is quite smooth, and it can be said that it is smooth sailing in Hangzhou, but in other places, it has encountered all kinds of troubles.
The first stop was the Zhejiang Provincial Company.
Xu Xinfu is the leader of the city company, Hangzhou is the provincial capital, and the relationship with the provincial company can be said to be very good, PHS has also achieved success in Hangzhou, I thought that the trip to the provincial company will be quite smooth.
Unexpectedly, the first nail was hit here.
The provincial company is still very enthusiastic, the general manager personally entertained, didn't say a word, first invited Liang Yifei and Xu Xinfu to rub a meal, and talked about things while eating.
The food is good, but the matter is a little off-track, from beginning to end, I heard Xu Xinfu talking about PHS, the people from the provincial company have not answered much, but a few escorts have been persuading to drink.
After a meal, no substantive intention was reached.
Don't say the intention, in fact, the provincial company has not expressed its position on PHS business at all.
Afterwards, Liang Yifei chatted with Xu Xinfu, did he need public relations or something? Xu Xinfu was also unsure, so he went to the provincial company alone.
This time, Liang Yifei was not there, and the general manager of the provincial company told Xu Xinfu a little truth in private.
The provincial company means that there is no rush to do this, try it out in Hangzhou first, and if there is no problem, the provincial company will consider promoting it in the province.
This sounds good, but when Xu Xinfu asked, when will the 'trial' be tried, and what is the standard of 'success' in the province after the success of the province', the provincial company was vague.
Before Xu Xinfu left, a vice president of the provincial company, who used to be in the city with him and was a good colleague, looked for him privately and told him a word.
"Lao Xu, why are you causing this trouble? Okay, I can't make a lot of money personally, in case it breaks, then whoever agrees to do it, who is unlucky, do you think that's the truth?"
This meaning is very clear, the province does not want to take risks at all.
Not everyone dares to take the risk of 'making mistakes' to accept the PHS business, in fact, Liang Yifei was relatively smooth in two places before, mainly because he met a more enlightened local leader and was his home base.
And most leaders, especially those of state-owned companies such as telecommunications, are skeptical of PHS and would rather miss opportunities than take policy risks.
After all, the telecommunications business is not good, and it is better than the mobile to get rid of it, and this is not a personal reason, and the individual leaders of the provincial and municipal companies do not need to be responsible for this, and they will still take as much money as they should get; if they take 10,000 steps back, even if telecommunications is yellow, these leading cadres at the party and government level will still arrange their work in a different place organizationally, and they may not be far behind;
However, if the violation is caused by the acceptance of PHS business, then the last individual is liable.
In contrast, it is human nature that it is better for a business to be unsuccessful than to be unlucky.
Xu Xinfu was a little annoyed, since the separation of Telecom Mobile, Mobile took the license, Telecom this day, that is really Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as a year, now there is such an opportunity, you can overtake in a corner, avoid the exclusive wireless license, but can carry out mobile call business, such a good opportunity is in front of you, actually because you are afraid of taking responsibility and do not accept it?
Xu Xinfu was annoyed, but Liang Yifei's attitude was more calm.
The reason why he chose PHS is not only because PHS will become popular in the next ten years and is a springboard to smartphones, but also because he has some understanding of the development process of PHS in the original time and space.
In the mid-to-late 90s, until the mid-2000s, during this decade, the original time and space of UTStarcom can be said to be the hottest enterprise in China, this decade, whether it is industry status, social influence, profit income, etc., in the current era, it is comparable to the later Tencent, Alibaba, can be said to be a well-deserved top star enterprise.
Liang Yifei has a certain understanding and research of this enterprise and PHS, and it is precisely because of this that he will choose this industry: to do what he is familiar with.
So it is clear that in the beginning, PHS did not open the market so simply.
"Mr. Xu, don't be too indignant, we still have to listen to this from both sides in the province. Liang Yifei said with a smile: "After all, PHS has not been completely denied, in case PHS is found to be non-compliant, they will naturally not do it, but if PHS becomes popular, famous, and recognized, they will definitely turn faster than anyone else when the time comes." ”
"Then what to do now?" Xu Xinfu asked.
"Let's go to other provinces and cities, if one more city can be opened, the influence of PHS will be greater. Liang Yifei said.
Xu Xinfu doesn't have a very good way now, and marketing is not exactly a 'golden idea' that can play a miraculous effect, in most cases, he still relies on 'two legs and one mouth', down-to-earth to do work, and go to run and talk about every household.
Xu Xinfu is a telecommunications person, and he has a certain network in the national telecom, and he is more justifiable to come forward, so in the next month or so, he took Liang Yifei together and ran to four provinces and more than a dozen cities.
The results are not optimistic, only two cities are willing to try it first, and the rest, the attitude is similar to that of Zhejiang Province, they are all wait-and-see, and two provinces simply give a closed door to eat, expressing no interest.
A lot of public relations expenses have been spent, so it can be seen that it is really not a matter of money.
After a month, Xu Xinran lost a lot of weight, Liang Yifei was very embarrassed, and asked Wu Sanshou to send a card in private, Xu Xinran didn't say anything at the time, smiled and accepted it, but a few days later, he looked for it with a serious expression and had to return the card.
The money in the card is a bit too much to his imagination, in Liang Yifei's opinion, it is a normal expense, but in his opinion, it is too hot to hold.
No matter how you say it, you have to retreat, Liang Yifei thought about it, and simply hired Xu Xinran as a consultant of PHS, and there will be regular consultant fees in the future.
is a part-time job, Xu Xinran is also very interested in PHS, so he didn't shirk much.
These things are easy to say, but PHS still has to be promoted as soon as possible, according to the current speed, one city and one province will be gnawed slowly, and I don't know how to gnaw until the Year of the Monkey, not to mention most provinces and cities.
On this morning, Liang Yifei had just returned to Binhai City and had breakfast at Lanyun Lake, Wu San was sucking a plate of xiaolongbao on the side with one hand and reading a newspaper in the other.
"Yo, this person is awesome, he wants to drive over the Yellow River?! The Yellow River is so wide, can you fly over it by a car?"
"Flying over the Yellow River?" Liang Yifei raised his head, sandwiched a fritter, and said, "Ke Shouliang?"
"Yes, a movie stunt star in Xiangjiang. Wu San handed over the newspaper with his hand.
Ke Shouliang is currently not well-known in the mainland, this well-known special effects and martial arts instructor in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in fact, as early as 1992, completed a flying car crossing in the mainland: driving a Yamaha 250CC motorcycle, soaring over the Great Wall beacon about 30 meters wide gap.
However, at that time, the act of flying over the Great Wall did not cause much sensation, in the early 90s, motorcycle acrobatics were very popular, often in the zoo or other occasions, you can see a large round iron cage, motorcycle rider car speeding on the cage wall, in most people's sensory impression, the flight over the Great Wall in 92, in essence, is the same as these, a stunt performance.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this perception, whether it is flying over the Great Wall or the Yellow River, it is essentially a stunt performance.
But this time, there is a lot of hype in the newspapers and on TV, and there are some reasons for this.
First, it is to celebrate the return of '97.
This reason is very inspiring, and the performer is a patriot of the Kuomintang who is originally from the mainland, moved to the treasure island, and struggled to grow up in Xiangjiang, which can add a layer of luster to the return;
The second is to render the crossing of the Yellow River as a human 'miracle'.
China has been poor for decades, and in the past 100 years, it has been repeatedly bullied by foreign powers. After the reform and opening up, the country took off, and this kind of emotion also needs an outlet, once anything involves nationalism, it can cause some waves, even if it is not until many years later, the bad movie will be pulled at every turn, and the garbage product will be claimed to be a national industry at every turn, and a national flag wrapped around the arm can make the terrorists shudder and the whole people climax......
Lao Mei is used to being the hegemon of the world, saving the earth or something at every turn, the Chinese have been bullied for so long in the past and finally have a little rise, so they immediately want to find a sense of existence, flying over the Yellow River itself is a stunt show, but after attaching many halos, it immediately becomes a hot spot of national attention.
"Brother, do you think this can fly over? A car is not a motorcycle. Wu Sanshou was a little excited, and also a little worried: "If this smashes it, I'm afraid my life will be gone, right?"
"How can this be smashed?" Liang Yifei said, "I have rehearsed it beforehand." ”
"Isn't it live?" Wu Sanshou said.
"Rehearse before the live broadcast. Liang Yifei casually took the newspaper and looked at it, then looked up at Wu Sanshou and said, "Do you think there are many people watching the live broadcast?"
"That's for sure! I'm afraid there are more people than watching the Spring Festival Gala. Wu Sanshou said without thinking.
Liang Yifei nodded, he remembered very clearly, he was actually a person who didn't like to watch TV very much, but in his last life, he flew over the Yellow River, and he and a few friends watched it together in front of the TV.
"What do you think, how about PHS sponsoring this leap?" Liang Yifei asked with a smile.
