"China now has only a few pilots of 1G, and if you want to ask my opinion, that is, don't do 1G, there is no future! Just start with the 2G network!" After Lin Qi returned to China, he went to the capital to communicate with the big leaders and directly made suggestions.

"Experts say 1G networks are cheap......," the big leader said.

"If it is put into production, it will be backward, and when it is put into production, it will be eliminated. We can't export, we can't earn foreign exchange, and even, if we introduce these backward technologies, we will slow down our development and make our domestic market have to pay for backward 1G infrastructure. Widen the gap between the domestic industry and the international market. Lin Qi said frankly, "Even if 1G mobile phones and base stations are cheap now, don't do it! The construction of 2G network, I think that as long as the charge is reasonable in our country, there will be more than 100 million users in ten years, which will have a future than fixed lines. In the future, the users of fixed telephones are not the mainstream, but mobile phones are. In the future, our domestic market should have a scale of hundreds of billions or even trillions a year. In the later stage, not only does it not need the government to subsidize money, but it will continue to provide jobs, profits, and feed back to our technology industry, at least a few more Fortune 500 companies. Our country can no longer plan its economy as it did in the early days of reform and opening up, and picking up broken ideas will drag down the country's economic development in the future. The most cutting-edge technology should not only be usable, but the best and most up-to-date! Moreover, not only for us to use, but also for us to develop the industry. The current 2G communication industry is almost such a good direction!"

"Okay, Lin Qi, you said so, we will resist the pressure, do not engage in 1G, 2G parallel construction, and directly engage in 2G network!"

The first generation of mobile communication technology, that is, the large-scale commercial application of 1G analog cellular networks, began in the 70s.

However, the world's first generation of mobile communication technology and the first mobile phone should have been invented by Soviet engineer Leonid Kupriyanovich in 1957. Leonid Kupriyanovich, not only the inventor of mobile communication technology and mobile phones, but also wrote and published more than 500 professional scientific and technological books in his lifetime, it can be said that he is a scientific wizard similar to Tesla.

It is a pity that the Soviet Union did not provide a stage similar to that of Europe and the United States, and applied and commercialized its inventions on a large scale, only building base stations in some urban areas, only as a technology to show off the success of Soviet science and technology, and did not commercialize and popularize it throughout the Soviet Union.

In 1976, Martin Cooper, an engineer at Motorola in the United States, reinvented the mobile phone and the first generation of communication base station technology, and the technology was not more advanced than the ЛК-1 mobile phone invented by the Soviet engineer Leonid Kupriyanovich in the 50s, on the contrary, the ЛК-1 mobile phone was reduced from 3 kg to 500 grams in a few years after its invention. And Motorola's big brother is still a few pounds of big bricks after it went on sale in the 80s.

After Leonid Kupriyanovich invented the mobile phone, he also tried to sell it in the Soviet Union. However, the sky-high price of up to 300~400 rubles made it impossible for the ЛК-1 mobile phone and its communication base station technology to be promoted and popularized in the Soviet Union. Nor did the Soviet government provide any subsidies to promote the popularization and commercialization of mobile phones in the country. After all, in the eyes of the Soviet government, the production of things was exactly according to the plan, and there was no profit to be made from it, so if it could not be mass-produced, it would not be mass-produced, and in any case, the production of a thing would only bring trouble, not profit or other benefits.

It is precisely because the laws of the economy, that is, for production and technological innovation, were not used to provide effective incentives that the productive forces in the later period of the Soviet Union lacked the impetus for development. In capitalist countries, the use of profits as remuneration to motivate capitalists to put into production and promote has become a more effective means of promoting new technologies and new products in this era.

As a result, the Soviet Union developed 1G base stations and mobile phones 20 years earlier than the United States, but this industry was not developed until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Ironically, on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the 90s, the Soviet government suddenly wanted to introduce the first generation of cellular network communication technology from the United States and import Big Brother when foreign exchange was very tight. As everyone knows, the set of technologies introduced is already something that Soviet scientists have been playing with since the 50s.

If the bureaucracy of the USSR, a little business-minded. In the past 30 years, it is completely possible to use its national strength to forcibly promote the mobile phone system to the whole of the Soviet Union, and rely on large-scale application to reduce costs, and after that, there are even opportunities to earn foreign exchange through exports, and promote technology and standards, but unfortunately, the Soviet Union has a large number of promising advanced technologies and inventions, and it is because of the bureaucrats without business acumen and economic consciousness that no industry has been formed for decades, and the advanced technology that was originally very awesome has been dragged down and become the tears of the times.

In fact, in the early 90s, 2G networks were just emerging. The United States has come up with the CDMA standard, and Europe has just established the GSM standard. With the domestic economic level at that time, it was difficult to make a strategic decision to follow up with international advanced technology, but for the sake of greed, some technologies that had been used for some years were selected.

When Europe and the United States and other countries are building 2G communication networks, many domestic telecommunications industries are building analog networks in the 1G era, such as the introduction of the United Kingdom's Total Access Communication System (TACS) and Japan's PHS wireless local telephone technology (PHS).

These technologies have since proven to be backward technologies that have slowed down the development of China's telecommunications industry, not only those base stations and mobile phone production lines, but also those that have been put into production. Historically, the reason why these technologies are engaged in is, on the one hand, because they are poor, so they have to go abroad to pick up garbage.

However, at Lin Qi's suggestion, the three major telecom operators of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom should not build 1G networks anymore. Instead, they began to invest money and resources, and began to focus on GSM base stations and mobile terminals.

Moreover, at the beginning of this era, domestic mobile communications were not the only mobile companies, and China Telecom and Unicom also obtained licenses.

Historically, China Telecom and China Unicom introduced PHS at the beginning, mainly because China Telecom and China Unicom were not allowed to engage in the mobile communications industry in the early days, and only one company was approved to operate mobile phones. Unicom and Telecom had to play a sidekick without taking pictures and adopted the PHS system. This is because PHS's communication network is a product between the fixed telephone system and 1G analog base station technology. Therefore, in the name of fixed telephones to do this kind of mobile communication business. Later, after China Unicom and Telecom got the pictures, they began to withdraw the backward PHS from the network, freeing up valuable frequency band resources to make way for the 4G network.

And now Lin Qi suggests not to develop 1G websites directly, because the backward network also needs to occupy the frequency band. If you can directly develop 2G, you can start directly from 2G. The 2G industry has just emerged in the early 90s, and the manufacturing of related base stations and mobile phones can not only be used by themselves, but also can be exported to earn foreign exchange.

Historically, Samsung relied on gritting its teeth in the 2G era to do mobile phone business. Although Samsung's patent reserves are not as good as those of Nokia, Motorola and other companies, it is the main cost performance. Relying on continuous exploration and accumulation, Samsung later obtained more and more patent reserves related to mobile phones and communication technology, which laid a solid foundation for Samsung's mobile phones in the later 3G and 4G eras, which can later catch up and develop into the world's largest mobile phone brand with the largest market share.

Just like Samsung, the domestic market is only tens of millions of people, and it basically relies on overseas markets. For the development of overseas markets, the number of patents is the core competitiveness. Without patent licensing, it is impossible to sell in overseas markets. Even if you get a patent authorization, if you don't have a lot of patent reserves, then a bunch of companies will come to your door to ask for patent fees, and you won't be able to gain a foothold in the industry at all.

Therefore, to do high-tech industry, you can only develop a bunch of necessary and basic patents by yourself, and then cross-license these patents with other companies in the industry. Mutual reduction of royalties to reduce costs.

At the same time, when they have a bunch of patents in hand, some rookies who are new to the industry, if the patent reserve is not enough, cannot reach the extent of using independent patents and authorizing each other. Then, these rookies are also lambs to the slaughter of the old hooligans of the industry.
