Chapter 244: A Costly Communication Network
"Can this mobile phone make outgoing calls now?" Chen Xu took the square mobile phone in his hand again and asked curiously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We have erected a 2G communication tower on the hillside next to the industrial park, which is specially used to test the strength of the signal, and this mobile phone can make calls!" Secretary Ding stood straight, walked to the window and pointed to a hillside about five kilometers away, and could vaguely see a sharp thing standing on it, straight into the sky, that is, the company's 2G communication antenna.
"There is a signal from five kilometers away, and the coverage of this signal is quite good...... How much does each base station cost? Chen Xu put his face on the window, wiped the dust off the window with a sigh, squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally saw the iron tower looming in the distance in the snowflake air.
After reading it, he didn't rub the dust on his fingers, and said directly: "This window has not been wiped for at least a month, and all departments of the group should pay attention to hygiene in the future. ”
Secretary Ding's expression did not change, he simply took out his notebook and recorded the matter, and then said: "I will draw up health management regulations as soon as possible, and there will be no such situation in the future." ”
Chen Xu believes that Secretary Ding is not talking casually, this guy is a serious cleanliness habit, since Chen Xu has taken the initiative to pay attention to hygiene, then he will take the hygiene issue as a major matter, and make full use of Chen Xu's delegated power to clean the Panda Group inside and out.
"That's because you can get a full view of the suburbs without being blocked by buildings, so you can receive enough signals from five kilometers away, and the signals emitted by this antenna tower can barely be received from ten kilometers away. But if the situation is different in the city with high-rise buildings, the R&D department has built three base stations in Xiangping urban area, and under the blocking attenuation of buildings, the radius of signal coverage has been reduced to 3 kilometers, and dozens of base stations can be installed in a large city to ensure that the whole city is covered in the signal network. As for the construction cost of the base station, it depends on the situation, if you rent the roof of a high-rise building to build an antenna, you can save the money to build a tower, the cost of a base station is about 50,000 yuan, if it is in the suburbs, you need to build a separate tower, the cost will rise to 60,000 yuan. Secretary Ding opened his notebook, slid his fingers between the lines, and quickly found accurate data and read it out, don't underestimate these data, they are all trade secrets.
"It's not cheap for a base station to be so expensive." Chen Xu's heart sank, although he had been prepared in his heart, he was still shocked by the expensive construction cost of the base station.
China's land area is vast, 50,000 2G antenna towers themselves are not expensive, it is expensive because of the huge number, to establish a communication network covering the whole country, the number of stations to build at least one million. This is only domestic, if you go abroad, plus more expensive labor costs, the investment will be even more astronomical, maybe more than the overall cost than the Sky Dome Plan,
"There is no way, now the domestic semiconductor industry is in the ascendant, and many of the parts we need need to be ordered from abroad, and imported things are not cheap. In the future, when our own semiconductor factory is established, the cost can be reduced by more than 40%. Secretary Ding spoke without the slightest emotion, for him these are just simple numbers, and it is a leader like Chen Xu who really wants to make up his mind to issue orders.
The next decade will be the era of the rise of the semiconductor industry, and the current semiconductor manufacturers are busy making parts for the most popular products such as personal computers, tape recorders, and televisions, and there is no mobile phone communication business at all.
An emerging high-tech industry that has not yet been born has unlimited possibilities, but also huge risks. Motorola pioneered the development of commercial mobile phones, but it took more than a decade to fully popularize the industry around the world, and it was also stolen by Nokia, a rising star who started out in arms.
Mobile communication equipment is the vane of the changing times, when Nokia after making money for ten years, it seems that Apple has robbed the business overnight, and then rapidly declined, and the original sky-high market value of Nokia stock fell to the bottom.
When Apple enjoyed the dividends of a decade of pioneers, it gradually became less supportive, and mobile communication devices began to transition from the simple pursuit of advanced hardware to richer content. People buy mobile phones no longer blindly pursue advanced, but whether the mobile phone has more content than other mobile phones.
It's just that when the content has also been developed to a very rich extent, all mobile phone manufacturers around the world have fallen into a strange circle of hardware and content.
Everyone knows that the mobile communication industry has reached the edge of a new evolution, when a new mobile device that is more convenient and suitable for people to use is born, all the pure mobile phone hardware companies in the world will basically hang up.
Only a few companies have been spared, because they have long been aware of this problem, and all of them have transformed into Internet companies early, and mobile phone hardware is just a content carrier for them, even if the mobile phone cannot be sold, they can quickly transfer the content to the newly born mobile device.
Just like the skill of recovering the soul, it is difficult for such a high-tech enterprise to go out of business as long as it has a huge group of content users, which is the way for enterprises to survive in the Internet era.
Not only mobile phones, but even TV companies have begun to transform into Internet companies, and the people are no longer willing to be bound by the simple programs of TV stations, and everyone prefers to eat some food and watch whatever they want, so it is difficult to sell TV sets without rich movies, TV series, and music resources!
Of course, he is still far away in the Internet era, and Chen Xu only wants to make good money now.
If you want to monopolize the newly born industry of mobile communications, you must make the ultimate profit, ensure that all the equipment is localized, and use China's cheap manpower and material resources to minimize the cost and earn the highest profit!
"It's good that the cost of building a base station can be controlled in this price range, so we will go to Japan to test the water first, build our communication network in Tokyo, and then start selling our mobile phones!" Chen Xu played with the square big brother in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said: "But it is definitely not possible to make the mobile phone in this shape, it is not easy to hold in the hand, the mobile phone should be long and flat, and it is best to carry it in the pocket of the clothes." At the same time, the feel of the keys should also be improved.,You look at this hard key.,Press it a few more times and pick my fingers hurt.。 At the same time, the sound quality of the microphone and earpiece should also be improved, the user's experience is the most important, to do it is to be the best mobile phone company, especially we are the first to eat crabs, we must not play the signboard smashed! ”
Chen Xu decided to try it in Tokyo with a mobile phone to see how the Japanese reacted, and if it worked well, he would spread the way around the world. Now Japan is very arrogant, it can be said that it is the most nouveau riche country in the world, and it is crazy to buy and buy all over the world! Especially in the bubble economy period a few years later, they were crazy to buy all kinds of large enterprises all over the world, and used economic methods to control the momentum of the world, during that period, the Japanese were the public enemies of the world, many Americans thought that the Japanese had robbed them of their jobs, the society was extremely anti-Japanese, and people with Asian faces were easily beaten and killed when they walked on the street.
Many experts and scholars in the United States believe that the Japanese took advantage of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union to make profits and seek to seize the economic lifeline of the United States!
However, in later generations, the name of the public enemy of this world was obtained by the flower planters, especially the flower planters are particularly greedy, after becoming the only modern industrial country in the world with all categories, all the low-end industrial products that can make money are made into cabbage prices, and then exported to the world, so that foreign companies can not even eat the residue.
And as the flower growers continue to march into the high-end industry, there is a great idea of embezzling all the world's manufacturing industries. Countries like Japan and the United Kingdom, after entering high-end industries, will transfer low-end industries to third-world countries, giving these countries the opportunity to make a fortune.
But the key is that there are too many Chinese, even if they are entering the high-end manufacturing industry, they still hold the low-end industry and refuse to let go, so in the twenty years or so of the rise of the flower planter, I have never heard of any country in the world that can develop by manufacturing.
On the contrary, those countries that originally had manufacturing industries have all gone into decline because of the rise of flower planters who have stolen business, such as the Asian tigers have become four worms, and the BRIC countries have also planted flowers in pure gold, and Ah San has also been plated with gold leaf. As for Russia and Brazil, they are bricks in the front and tail of the car, and the economy is a mess.
It is true that Japan is now the public enemy of the world, but it is the most economically prosperous country in the world, and any new goods can be easily marketed in this country!
Rich Japanese people will not hesitate to pay out of their pockets to buy mobile phones that are convenient for their lives, and the expensive communication tariffs are completely out of the consideration of Japanese people, they are too rich! When he goes out to a party, he will randomly put 10,000 yen in his finger to stop a taxi, although the meeting place is only about ten minutes away from his location, but people don't want to leave if they have money......
The main reason for using Japan as a breakthrough point in the mobile phone communication business is not because the Japanese are rich, but because Japanese businessmen are all over the world, and when the Japanese use it well, they will naturally spread the benefits of mobile phones to the world.
"I think we have to pick up the global satellite communications network as soon as possible!" Chen Xu suddenly remembered that if Panda's mobile phone could make global calls through the satellite network, and it was unlimited time and place, then Japanese companies would definitely rush to buy one for every employee.
The ability to communicate with your staff or assign tasks anytime and anywhere on your mobile phone is a great attraction for those who value efficiency.
There is no doubt that in this era when telephone communication is not yet developed, satellite phones can definitely make a lot of money! (To be continued.) )
