Chapter 9 Grandpa Su, I need your support

The fat man was not eaten in one bite, and Rome was not built in a day, and after the first round of meetings with Matsumoto Masamichi and Fernand, Fang Mingyuan was not interested in participating in the whole process of the subsequent negotiation work. It is enough for him to learn about the process of the negotiations from time to time and grasp the general direction of the negotiations.

You must know that as a former half-otaku, laziness is also one of his characteristics. It's just that in the years after his rebirth, due to the entanglement of many affairs, he was not given the opportunity to be lazy at all!

Ninety-four years is definitely an era worth remembering for Fang Mingyuan, because in this year, Huaxia was officially recognized by the international community as a country with Internet, although the Internet speed was so slow that he felt sad. It was also in this year that the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences set up the first web server in China and launched the first set of web pages in China. Soon after, the Computer Network Information Center of the Academy of Sciences completed the setting of the CN name server, and since then the CN server has been located in China. And this also means that the familiar online shijie will lift his hazy veil to him again, and a new opportunity to make money will come again.

"Do you want to be an Internet business provider?" Su Huandong looked at the information handed over by Fang Mingyuan in his hand, and said with a face. This term is still extremely unfamiliar to him.

"Yes!" Fang Mingyuan answered categorically. He had been preparing for this day for a long, long time. Not only to make money, but also to protect the vast number of people from the poison of telecommunications, networks and mobile in the future.

Huaxia netizens are the most pitiful group of people on shijie, because they use the Internet access fee of other countries' citizens several times the price to "enjoy" the Internet speed that other countries' citizens are completely unsightly. Fang Mingyuan couldn't forget that in his previous life, every month, he had to take out nearly 200 yuan from his modest salary income to give to those "vampires", just to enjoy the network that was stuck to death!

Fang Mingyuan can't forget that according to the statistics of the Huaxia Internet Network Information Center, the average monthly broadband tariff of the Chinese people is 18 times that of the South Korean nationals, and if we take into account the income gap between the two countries, the broadband tariffs paid by the Chinese citizens are equivalent to more than 100 times that of the South Korean citizens. And South Korea's Internet speed is as high as 14 Mbps, but Huaxia can't even reach a pitiful Mbps! Such a thrilling contrast, how can people forget!

So whether it is for his future money-making plans, or for his own online happiness, Fang Mingyuan does not plan to let all this happen again in Huaxia. If you want to break the monopoly of the three major operators on Huaxia Network in the previous life, then it is undoubtedly the best to find a way to squeeze into the operator's team from the beginning. At least in this period, everyone is starting from scratch, interest groups have not yet been formed, and the pattern of monopoly has not yet become a fixed pattern! What's more, the monopolies have not yet realized the lucrative business opportunities this piece brings! And when they hesitated and made a decision, it was a good opportunity for Fang Mingyuan to squeeze in!

Su Huandong put the information in his hand on the table, took off the old mirror, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes in contemplation. To be honest, Fang Mingyuan's request was really a bit unexpected by Su Huandong. Originally, he thought that the steel plant project to be built in Liao Province would be enough to make the Fang family and Fang Mingyuan so busy that they had no time to take care of it. I can't imagine how long it has been, and he actually proposed to be an Internet operator again!

Su Huandong is not unaware of the existence of the Internet, but for this new thing, Su Huandong's understanding is the same as that of most people today, and it is still stuck in the fact that it is just a relatively fast contact tool. And compared to the telephone and fax, at least he did not see how much advantage the Internet could have. After all, there are still a few families that can own computers today, and even in government agencies and large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, computers are still something that only leaders can equip. Without computers, the Internet would be just a decoration.

However, Su Huandong attaches great importance to this matter, because in the information, Fang Mingyuan obviously attaches great importance to this Internet. History has proved that everything that Fang Mingyuan solemnly mentioned will happen, such as the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the reunification of Germany, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union! Moreover, Fang Mingyuan's business talent also made Su Huandong have to consider this matter carefully.

"Mingyuan, can you tell me about weishenme, you want to be this ......" Su Huandong glanced at the information and said, "Internet operator? ”

"Grandpa Su, if the emergence of the steam engine laid the cornerstone for the birth of the industrial revolution, then the establishment of the Internet also opened a door for the arrival of the future Internet era. Grandpa Su, it may seem to you that the network is nothing more than a connection between computers and facilitates the flow of some computing data, but I would like to say that you are wrong in this thinking! The fundamental role of computers and computer networks is to serve people's jiāo streams, not just for computing. It's not the network that connects the computer, it's the network that connects the people who use the computer. The greatest success of the Internet is not its development at the jishu level, but its impact on people who use computers! Email may not be a major advance in computer science, but it is a completely new approach to the flow of people between people! And this method, in the next ten years, will change shijie! Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.

Su Huandong couldn't help but be a little moved, Fang Mingyuan actually compared the Internet with the steam engine that created the industrial revolution, which is a very high evaluation!

"Grandpa Su, in the present, the Internet that has just appeared can be said to be a new thing, just like a baby who has not been born for a long time, it is difficult for people to see whether his future is whether he is the overlord of Chu who is strong enough to pull out the mountains and conquer the world, or the cowardly literati who has no power to tie his hands. However, who would have thought that Watt's xiǎoxiǎo invention would make Britain dominant for more than 100 years! Can you imagine that in the next few years, as long as you sit in front of your computer and connect to the Internet, you will be able to talk to people thousands of miles away in real time, and you will only need to pay for the Internet instead of paying the high cost of long-distance calls abroad. Moreover, no matter anyone, regardless of nationality, race, xìng, age, rich or poor, no matter where they come from shijie, at any time, as long as there is an Internet, they can participate in the dissemination of online information. They will not be excluded because of different skin, different clothing, and different religious beliefs. Fang Mingyuan paused slightly, glanced at Su Huandong, who was listening attentively, and then continued, "And I believe that in less than ten years, the number of people in the world who are online will exceed one billion, and the value created by the Internet every year will be as high as hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars!" ”

Su Huandong's head was buzzing at that time, and in an instant, it was completely blank! As a vice-national leader, the minister of the Ministry of Railways, the funds in his hands over the years can be said to be trillions, which is not excessive. But the annual output value is hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, what is that concept? It is almost twice the GDP of Huaxia in 93 years, and the sum of the top ten in Shijie's economic strength ranking is more than the sum of the two zuihou!

Numbers can indeed sometimes give people the most intuitive impact, and at this moment, Su Huandong suffered an unprecedented violent impact! Prior to this, Su Huandong never thought that this newly born emerging industry would have such great energy in the future!

Su Huandong clenched his hands into fists tightly, his eyes widened, staring at Fang Mingyuan deadly, for a long time, Fang Mingyuan was a little worried about whether he would give the old man too much impact, Su Huandong breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body eased up.

"Grandpa Su, are you okay?" Fang Mingyuan hurriedly approached the front and said, "Do you want to call a doctor?" ”

Su Huandong waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Stinky xiǎozi, the impact of your words is very strong, but I haven't aged to that point yet!" ”

Fang Mingyuan hurriedly poured out the tea on the table, poured a new cup of tea for Su Huandong, and put it in his hand, Su Huandong leaned back, and then said, "Mingyuan, what you just said is serious?" ”

"It's true! Although I can't give you conclusive evidence of all this at the moment, I will tell you that it will become a reality in the next twenty years, and it is likely that it will be even larger than I expected, and it will have a greater impact on the Shijie economy! Grandpa Su, I think you should already know that Bill Brown, the founder of Microsoft Corporation in the United States. Gates is already a well-known rich man in Shijie, maybe next year, maybe the year after that, he will top the Shijie rich list and become the richest man in Shijie. Twenty years ago, when Microsoft was just founded, who could have believed that a company that sold software would become a well-deserved giant of today's computer cào system, and there was no one! ”

Su Huandong nodded slightly, Su Huandong never felt that there was any shame in admitting that he was lacking in knowledge in front of the xiǎo generation, people are not gods after all, it is impossible to know everything, omnipotent! The same is true for national leaders, otherwise there would be no existence of faint kings, tyrants, and jiān ministers on this shijie. And the United States is unlikely to replace Britain.

Su Huandong fell into deep thought, Fang Mingyuan's words, if they fell into other people's ears, it is likely that ten of the best people will think that Fang Mingyuan is alarmist, xiǎoxiǎo's Internet, how can it be compared with the famous Microsoft company, after all, people are doing entities, and the Internet is something that can't be seen, at present, except for forwarding emails and some data, I really can't see any earth-shattering future.

But Su Huandong would never think like this, because he knew Fang Mingyuan better than everyone else, and he understood better what kind of behemoth the Fang family, which was originally just an ordinary worker's family, under Fang Mingyuan's control! In this process, the Fang family did not get rich by sucking state-owned assets like many families in China, but completely relied on its own ability to come to this day step by step. Therefore, for Fang Mingyuan's business talent, Su Huandong values it more than anyone else!

Looking at Su Huandong, who was in deep thought, Fang Mingyuan's heart was also jumping nervously, in Huaxia, if you can't get the support of the government, you want to develop the Internet industry rapidly and not lag behind European and American countries, it is tantamount to a pipe dream! Even if you have invested a huge amount of money and countless efforts for it, as long as the political officials do not like you, they hinder you everywhere, and stumble you step by step, even if you are reborn, it is helpless!

Although Fang Mingyuan can develop in European and American countries before most people really realize the value of the Internet, after all, it is the territory of other countries, and from the three aspects of time, place, and people, the Fang family is congenitally inferior. Moreover, it is impossible for any country to allow its control to fall into the hands of a foreigner, so the Fang family can develop in other countries, but it is destined to become the leader of its domestic industry. In this case, it also means that the Fang family does not have a solid base!

This is the headache that Fang Mingyuan felt! You must know that the Internet was originally developed from the United States, and European and American countries have an inherent advantage, and in terms of funds, Fang Mingyuan does not think that with his family's capital investment, he can compete with the strength of the whole country. Even though Fang Mingyuan had the advantage of being reborn, but in the face of so many disadvantages, just eliminating these difficulties was enough to completely cancel out Fang Mingyuan's advantage of being reborn!

If you want to open up the situation in China, you must get the support of Su Huandong, and with Su Huandong's support, you can better win the support of Mei, Lu, Chai and other domestic officials, so as to tear an entrance to the original monolithic industrial policy!

"Grandpa Su, the country has missed many opportunities for economic development, steel industry, automobile industry, shipping industry, machinery manufacturing industry, transportation industry, computer industry, etc., and now my country is working hard to catch up with the footsteps of developed countries! The developed countries, on the other hand, are now transferring their declining domestic industries to our country, which has brought us investment and employment opportunities, but they are also exploiting our wealth, but the means are more secretive and more unnoticed! An airplane can be exchanged for tens of millions of pairs of socks produced in our country, is it true that their products are so valuable? It's not because we can't make it ourselves! And the sneakers produced in our factory, as long as they add their brand, can immediately increase their value tenfold! Is this again because of weishenme? We have missed too many opportunities and have been left far behind by developed countries, while the Internet, but all countries in the world, are basically still on the same starting line! ”

"Mingyuan, what do you want me to do?" Su Huandong couldn't help but be moved, and asked in a deep voice.

Fang Mingyuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Su, I hope that when the government is developing the Internet industry, it can allow the entry of private capital, even if there are restrictions on the entry!" Don't be completely monopolized by state-owned enterprises! History has proven that only when there is competition, the industry will develop rapidly! State-owned enterprises, although they have sufficient capital and the support of the government, are lacking in competition! Even if the government arranges for three or five state-owned enterprises to enter this industry at the same time, it is still likely that this will be the result! ”

"Wait!" Su Huandong interrupted Fang Mingyuan's words and said, "Since three or five state-owned enterprises have entered this industry at the same time, and the state will also promote competition between them, will there be any changes?" ”

Fang Mingyuan was silent for a moment, and then said categorically: "Maybe there will be changes on the surface, but it is impossible to change in substance!" ”

“weishenme？” Su Huandong asked. He was very strange, weishenme Fang Mingyuan could be so sure?

"Because they are state-owned enterprises! Because their position is no one to threaten! Just like a lioness in a lion pack in a zoo, maybe there will be occasional competition between them for food, but after all, they will still lose their wild xìng because they don't have to worry about eating and drinking! Because Huaxia is so big, they can completely divide the scope of several provinces, maintain their monopoly position, and tacitly not enter other provinces where other companies are located, or just symbolize the entry into other provinces. Because their leaders are likely to swap over from each other, no one wants to provoke competition and add trouble to their future! So hello everyone, hello everyone, everyone together stable and risk-free development, that is the most haode result! However, those enterprises in Europe and the United States are like lioness in other lion groups, in order to grow their own strength and not be devoured by other lion groups, they are sharpening their minions all the time, and it is impossible to wait for them to develop slowly and harmoniously! And when the industry in Europe and the United States becomes complete, the Internet industry will become the next computer industry, and they will continue to draw huge profits from the whole shijie! ”

Fang Mingyuan didn't say that the result of this was that those state-owned enterprises still became members of the top 500 companies, but it was the citizens of China who used the network with "network speed far below the global level", but paid the Internet fee "much higher than the global level", and piled it up!

With the largest population market in the whole country, with the strong protection of the government and the support of huge funds, and with the ability to snatch money from the pockets of the people in a different way, and make the people helpless, they can only swallow their anger, even a pig, and can also lead these state-owned enterprises to become giants in the domestic market! Become a top 500 shijie!

It's just that I don't know if one day Huaxia opens up its network operation qualifications, and after network operators from various countries enter Huaxia, these giants will be able to maintain their status!

"And by that time, we'll be too late!"
