Chapter 615: Mobile Networks

Kong Xiangdong is a poor technical wood researcher, and has been secretly researching the Beidou navigation system. When I came to Tang Dynasty Company this time, I just took a casual look, and Kong Xiangdong benefited a lot. Sure enough, the technology driven by the business model is much better than the closed-door growth of Zhilingding. Take this Linchuan as an example, under the leadership of commercialization, today's Linchuan seems to have more potential than Zhongguancun and Shenzhen.

In the past few days, Kong Xiangdong received a meeting from his superiors. The conference center revolves around the commercialization of the Beidou navigation and positioning system. In fact, Kong Xiangdong and their own planning side have already considered the commercial issue of Beidou navigation. Especially in recent years, under the thorn of the OPS navigation market in the United States, they feel that the Beidou navigation system should be quickly introduced to the market.

It's just that because the current Beidou navigation and positioning system has only launched 3 satellites, on the one hand, there is still a great value for research and use in national defense and military, and on the other hand, the country has always wanted to hide this system, but in fact, it is unwilling to announce it so soon. However, because this system is too large, this has led to the fact that in recent years, their growth has been on the study of software systems.

As for the hardware project, that is, the satellite, because of the lack of funds, the satellite cannot be built at all, and it will not be able to be sent into the sky.

For this reason, Kong Xiangdong was not less depressed. Nowadays, the top has finally paid attention to the commercialization of Beidou navigation. After the meeting, Kong Xiangdong led some researchers of the Beidou navigation system to Linchuan. They just wanted to inspect the Tang Dynasty Company to see if they had the strength to cooperate with them.

Because, this is not only to win the cooperation of various products of Beidou navigation. His cooperation also includes the development of a larger and larger foundational fund. For example, the construction of Beidou navigation satellites. This time, Kong Xiangdong was ready to chat with Chen Jiayi. Otherwise, just relying on the state to give money, when will it be able to become a mature system?

Afterwards, Kong Xiangdong chatted with Chen Jiayi for a few words. At the same time, when chatting, he was unhurried and mentioned the commercial market problem of Beidou navigation. Moreover, he also threw this question to Chen Jiayi, and said to Chen Jiayi, "If our Beidou navigation is put into the market, what commercial products will be born?" ”

These products are related to his commercial profits.

If you don't have this profit, talk about commercialization? Therefore, the issue of commercial products of Beidou navigation is also an important issue. At present, Kong Xiangdong believes that the most important function of the Beidou navigation and positioning system is to locate this big head, which is the most obvious on the car. However, at present, Kong Xiangdong feels that today's car positioning systems are using GPS in the United States, and even if they launch their own Beidou navigation system, they will not be able to seize the market so quickly.

Legend has it that the Tang Dynasty Company's use of business has always been magical. This time, Kong Xiangdong directly asked Chen Jiayi. Of course, he is not afraid that Chen Jia will not know for a while. In the end, the commercialization of Beidou navigation this time was his beginning. If not, the devil will know when it will be commercialized.

"At present, the main function is positioning. And the products launched are basically around positioning. ”

In addition to the traditional positioning of automobiles, there are also the positioning of ship branches. In particular, ships far away from the central coastline often do not receive signals after Chinese fishing or cargo ships enter the sea. At this time, it is necessary to have special satellites to send and receive information. The price of Inmarsat at $8 a minute is a big burden for the detached fishing vessels.

Then, now that Beidou navigation is launched, this part of the market can also be greatly sought.

Of course, there are more applications for other Beidou navigation systems. Such as hydrological surveying, weather, geography, etc., are relatively large applications. It's just that these applications are only carried out at the national level. There is not much commercial value, Chen Jiayi will not hint at anything about this.

"It's just that, at present, can Beidou navigation enter the traditional car positioning?"

GPS, his positioning system, has long covered the whole world. At present, it occupies more than 95% of the positioning market in the global market. Even if Beidou Navigation is launched, it will not be able to seize the market so quickly. Because, if there are too few users, the price of this navigation must be on the high side. If the price is low, they don't make a profit at all.

Kong Xiangdong doesn't have much of a way to deal with this.

"The positioning system is very large, but it doesn't actually mean in the car."

Although the automobile sector is a relatively profitable positioning market. But Chen Jiayi believes that it does not mean that the positioning system cannot be pushed out without the support of the car.

"Don't just mean in Qifeng?"

Kong Xiangdong also thought that Chen Jiayi would have a relatively good body and enter this car positioning. But unexpectedly, Chen Jiayi, he seems to be not very interested in car positioning.

However, the current positioning system, most of his commercial market, is in this area. If you go to the lost car, I'm afraid...... It's not profitable at all.

If it is for this purpose of commercialization, it is estimated that the country would rather keep it than launch it.

"Yes, the car is a big deal, and we can't afford not to pay attention to it. However, at the beginning, the promotion of Beidou navigation in domestic cars was not easy. However, in addition to automobiles, we have another relatively large market. Although it has not yet been truly expressed, I predict that the market will be unlimited in the future. ”

"Which one is Toyoba?"

Although Beidou navigation is a national product, it stands to reason that it should be able to be pushed to domestic cars relatively quickly. However, there are so many Chinese cars, but most of them are not domestic, and Chinese people have always liked to buy foreign goods, not electronic products, especially cars, what Japan, South Korea, Germany, the United States, all choose them.

That is, other countries, how could he possibly adopt the Beidou navigation system? Most likely, that is, the procurement of positioning systems for government public vehicles. However, if you rely on national buses alone, the profit is not very large. If there is really a profit, it is to control the entire Chinese car positioning market.

Of course, it would be great if with the security of Beidou navigation and being able to enter foreign countries.

"Cell phone."

At this time, Chen Jiayi took out his mobile phone.

"Cell phone?"

"It's not a cell phone."

Tang Dynasty Company has a Tang Dynasty Electronics, and Tang Dynasty Electronics is the production of Tang Dynasty smart phones. Or wells, to ordinary mobile phones, their mobile phones to navigate or not, in fact, there is nothing to do. However, for a high-end smart phone, electronic navigation, he is one of the indispensable tools.

Of course, there are still very few mobile phones with electronic navigation. However, Chen Jiayi believed. With a vision of the future, he has long seen the future market for mobile phone navigation. And, with the popularity of smartphones in the future. There are tens of millions of smartphones in the world. Such a mobile phone, even if he is not as big as a car, the same, he is also a very high-profile market When the popularity of mobile phone navigation, he will enhance car navigation.

If you just get into the car... block, even if it is Chen Jiayi, he doesn't have much style.

"Taking our Tang Dynasty mobile phone as an example, the future intelligent mobile phone is bound to dominate the world. The function based on electronic navigation has more unique needs.

In addition, it would be great if Beidou navigation could be used in the communication system on the mobile phone. For example, Beidou Navigation cooperates with our Tang Dynasty Telecom. ”

At this time, Chen Jiayi arrived at a key business.

Tang Dynasty Telecom, he is only a second-level operator, and the business he operates is to help telecom agency business. Although he also has telephone, broadband, etc., he only works for the Tang Dynasty company. Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Tang Dynasty Company is also a relatively large telecommunications company. It's a pity that Chen Jiayi knows. The Tang Dynasty Company is just an empty shell, called telecommunications on the outside, but in fact it is just an agency.

The reason for this is that Tang Dynasty Telecom did not have its own trunk line. In addition, mobile communications, Tang Dynasty telecommunications, are also not involved. At this time, if you cooperate with the Beidou navigation system. Well, quite possibly. Tang Dynasty Telecom can be directly involved in mobile communication services.

This piece of business, you know, in the future life, he is another interconnection.

Even, with the upgrade of personal mobile phones around the world, more and more users have been connected through mobile phones. In the meantime, on the edge of traditional interconnection, the world has created another "mobile network" that is more beautiful than traditional broadband. For this piece, Chen Jia was red early in the morning.

It's just that, before that, Tang Dynasty Company did not have another example. At most, they can only make some software products for the mobile Internet, but they will never be able to enter the business of providing services for the mobile Internet.

However, Chen Jiayi really wants to enter the market.

On the one hand, Chen Jiayi wants to expand his profits by entering the mobile market. On the other hand, Chen Jiayi also saw that although there are mobile services from China Mobile and China Unicom in China. However, these two companies, although they are large, have always been content with the status quo. Or, even if they're not satisfied, they don't know how to scale.

If Chen Jiayi really wants to have such a large market and merge with other major mobile communication companies around the world, it will be a matter of time. Moreover, such a merger is not impossible. Like the major telecommunications companies in the United States, as well as several mobile telecommunications providers in Europe and the United States, they are all individual businesses.

Under such a system, there is also the possibility of acquisition. Of course, there is a lot of work to be done in this.

However, if Chen Jiayi does not have the qualifications to operate mobile operations, even if he buys these foreign telecommunications companies, it will be useless. Because, foreign mobile telecommunications, they still have to cooperate with other companies. Like to cooperate with state-level satellites, if the Tang Dynasty company acquires it. If the governments of these countries do not cooperate with the Tang Dynasty Company, or simply adopt the suppression, then the Tang Dynasty Company's mobile market dream will still be shattered.

But now, with the Beidou navigation and positioning communication system, everything is easy to do.

In the end, Beidou navigation, in addition to positioning, he also has a very excellent business.

This business, that is communication. It's just that this communication function has been dominated by other satellites. Since the launch of Beidou Navigation, this communication has not been used much.

So, now that they are coming, Chen Jia has a look at the beads, no matter what, he has to take this business down.

"Telecommunications."

Unexpectedly, the conversation with Chen Jiayi made Kong Xiangdong frightened.

He originally thought that if the Tang Dynasty Company cooperated with them, it would just want to enter the car navigation system. However, I didn't expect that in addition to making car navigation equipment, Chen Jiayi also wanted to make mobile phone navigation. This is only second, and the later, Tang Dynasty telecom's mobile business, shocked Kong Xiangdong even more.

"Mr. Chen Jiayi, although the prospects for mobile communications are very good. Moreover, our Beidou navigation satellite also has the ability to provide such services. However, the result of this piece of communication service is still controlled by the state, and in fact, it is not something that can be entered if you want to. ”

The hole is solid to the east.

In China, there are actually many companies with mobile communication capabilities. For example, many mobile telecommunications companies in Hong Kong can put their business on the mainland. However, because of state control, how is it possible to let them in? Even if the Tang Dynasty Company belongs to China, it is unlikely that the Tang Dynasty Company will be allowed to enter.

Communications, roads, coal power, etc., are all under state control. In general, it is difficult to enter this market. Of course, no one knows what the future holds. But at least, I can't get in now.

"This, I understand. However, the stipulation is dead, and man is alive. ”

Chen Jiayi never thought about competing with the state for profit, the main reason is that he still thinks that some state-owned enterprises controlled by the state. Although the profits are huge, TMD is purely based on monopoly. If you really have to compete with many companies, it is estimated that all of these state-owned enterprises will have to go out of business. That is to say, the efficiency of these state-owned enterprises is actually very low.

Such low efficiency is not at all suitable for the rapid growth of the country's economy.

In particular, in later generations, countless state-level enterprises and many employees were mixed in it. It doesn't matter if the enterprise is profitable or not. If it is not effective, the state will make up for it. They just mix for a day and get a day's wages. Mix for a year, earn for a year. After a few decades, he has become an old worker and an old leader. In the end, he was laid off, Nima, and he could still get so much insurance. On the other hand, with so many laborers in China, where does their insurance go, and who will issue them insurance?

In this way, Chen Jiayi wants to enter this market.

There's no other reason than to improve their effectiveness. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty company is strong enough. Chen Weiyi's own ambitions are big enough to be on the side of his planning, if Tang Dynasty Telecom enters the mobile communications business. Then, Tang Dynasty Company will definitely be able to become a world-class communication company.

As soon as Chen Jia finished, he looked at Kong Xiangdong carefully.

"Legend has it that the money covered by GPS in the past was about $30 billion, right?"

A lot of the cost of military research in the United States, more or less, is published by the city. In particular, there are some top-secret information that has been out of date for a long time, and the government city publishes it at the corresponding time. According to the side of the record, the United States spent about $30 billion to complete the GPS global positioning system in the past.

Somehow, Chen Jiayi came out at this time.

"Yes, strictly, it should be around $40 billion. However, that was decades ago, and until now, 40 billion then, at least now costs more than $1,000. ”

"Well, I understand, therefore, your Beidou navigation research funds are also very tight."

$100 billion, that's not a number.

Such a number is probably even more terrifying than the Shenzhou spacecraft?

It is no wonder that Beidou Navigation has only completed the investment of 3 satellites in recent years. It was not until after 2009 that the country's economy grew relatively large, or there were more surpluses, that there was more investment. It's just that now, it seems, on the one hand, the state does not want to leave this piece behind, and on the other hand, maybe, it will not be able to come up with so much money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of commercialization.

Yes, if the state has money, they will not be commercialized if they kill it.

Some would rather be lost in the military, and they don't want to make it public. Sometimes, Chen Jiayi is speechless about this. In addition to the promotion, in the end, I felt that there was really no secret, or that I was really short of money. At this time, the state will use these technologies to the commercial side.

Hearing Chen Jia one by one, Kong Xiangdong smiled bitterly.

It seems that Chen Jiayi is very clear about the funding situation of the Beidou navigation system. It's just that where he will understand, where is this clear, it is completely Chen Jiayi's elaboration after a lot of elaboration, coupled with the vision of future generations, that he can elaborate it. Otherwise, where would he be able to see so clearly.

"If I, our Tang Dynasty Company, is willing to invest 30 billion US dollars to help the Beidou navigation satellite complete the satellite coverage in Asia. Mr. Kong, what do you think? ”

"$30 billion."

Damn, such a number is simply terrifying, even Kong Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. You must know that since he accepted the research and development of Beidou satellite navigation, the country has approved an investment of 5 billion US dollars. Moreover, this $5 billion is still invested in batches. Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Jia was direct, he came up with a $30 billion. If there are these 30 billion yuan, then Beidou navigation will definitely be able to quickly complete the comprehensive coverage of the Asian region in a very short time. In addition, it will be able to continue to expand globally.

"Mr. Chen is really generous."

30 billion US dollars, in exchange for whom, he is the heart of the city.

Moreover, Kong Xiangdong knew that what he was facing was the head of the Tang Dynasty company, and he couldn't deceive him because of this. Again, Tang Dynasty Company, they have the strength to come up with this rainbow of 30 billion US dollars. Just like his Tang Dynasty, a game that is unique in the world can earn about $10 billion a year. What's more, there are so many branches under the Tang Dynasty Company.

30 billion US dollars, although it seems very large, is definitely nothing in the eyes of Tang Dynasty Company.

"Let me think about it."

If you can come up with $30 billion, how can you give it away for nothing. Combined with Chen Jiayi's Tang Dynasty Telecom just now, Kong Xiangdong is a person who understands, so he naturally knows the tools that Chen Jiayi wants. It is nothing more than that Chen Jiayi hopes that the Beidou navigation satellite project team will help them intervene in the "mobile communication" part
