Chapter 194: Doing the Way for Heaven - Next
Due to Gu Mojie's reasons, China's 3G network construction today is much earlier than the same period in history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It has been 20 months since the base station was upgraded in batches from mid-08.
In the early upgrades, the fastest was the telecom company's "Tianyi", because the EVDO system used for this cargo can be physically smoothly inherited from the CDMA base station. Therefore, in the first six months, Telecom did not need to relocate the site, at most upgrade the equipment slightly, and did not even need to replace the entire station.
The stage of completely setting up a new base station is at least three to five months later than the starting point of network upgrade. It was opened in the fourth quarter of 2008 by China Unicom's WCDMA "Wo". The "G3" of the mobile TD-SCDMA standard is even later, and it is basically not until the Spring Festival in 2009 that the net is laid, and it has only been a year.
However, not all new base station construction work is accompanied by the construction of iron towers.
Many children's shoes who don't understand communication often have a misunderstanding that the towering towers built by operators are base stations.
In fact, the base station is just some equipment on the top of the tower, plus related communication cables. And the tower body is just a pure iron frame.
And not all base stations need to be built on the tower. Many base stations that provide signal coverage in urban areas directly borrow the rooftops of high-rise buildings in the city and erect an antenna slightly, which solves the problem.
In the huge project of network upgrading, the theoretical sequence is "first repair and upgrade the existing base station - the base station is too old to upgrade, so the whole unit will be replaced - even the base station site selection can not be used in the original one, so the tower has to be erected again".
In the past year or so, China Unicom and China Mobile have also built many new base stations, but the construction of new towers has hardly begun.
The main reason for this situation is that operators upgrade their networks, starting from the urban areas of core cities, and only then going to the suburbs and rural areas when the urban areas are almost built.
Only in the suburbs and rural areas, when there are no natural tall buildings to rely on, it is necessary to build towering iron towers.
The construction of the 3G network, in the 08 year plan, is to continue the entire five-year plan, and will not be fully completed until 2013. By March 2010, after more than a year of construction, the 3G signals of the three major operators had just completed the "coverage of the core urban areas of all cities in the country".
In the next three years, it will also need to expand to the suburbs and rural areas in batches. According to the plan, by mid-2011, more than 90% of the country's urban suburbs will be covered by 3G signals. By the beginning of 2013, 75 per cent coverage in relatively densely populated rural areas will be achieved.
In the four trillion plan at the end of 08, the 700 billion yuan reserved for the communications industry is to pave the way for this huge plan.
This 700 billion is only the start-up cost of government-led investment. In fact, when operating in the capital market, it is also possible to involve the input of other financial capital with several times of leverage -- this can be seen by comparing the construction of the railway sector in the same period in history. In the 4 trillion plan, the money for the Ministry of Railways to build high-speed railways was only about 1.2 trillion yuan, but in the end, a few years later, the debt owed by the Railway General Administration was more than 3 trillion yuan. Removing the interest can also show that at least 2~2.5 times of the funds are pulled into that project.
Therefore, the big project of "laying 3G signals for all population areas in China" may end up spending more than 1.5 trillion yuan.
By March 2010, the three major operators had each invested more than 100 billion yuan. In the future, there is still 3~4 times the amount of money waiting to be invested.
In order to conquer the vast suburban market, conquer the rural market. The intensive construction period of the tower has just begun.
It was at this juncture that Gu Mojie did not hesitate to offend people to put forward the proposal of restructuring the operator and establishing an iron tower-company.
If the restructuring is successful, the money for building base stations and buying equipment will still be spent, and not a penny can be saved.
But the money to build that iron frame can really save several percent.
At least there will be no more strange things like three operators in a small area who could sit down and negotiate to finalize a compromise site, but they don't negotiate and have to waste resources to build three towers.
Gu Mojie's think tank estimated to him that if his proposal can be passed and implemented before the intensive construction period of the 3G tower, it may save more than 100 billion yuan for the more than 1.5 trillion 3G construction funds.
The saving rate accounts for 6%~8% of the total 3G construction funds.
Don't underestimate the proportion of 6%~8%. Although it may seem insignificant, it stands on the huge base of "the cost of infrastructure construction to build a 3G network for the whole of China".
Gu Mojie didn't know if there were detours in this country in history, he didn't remember those things, and he lived until 2012 to travel back. But now that he has this strength, he naturally wants to prevent the tragedy of wasting people's fat and ointment.
What's more, his think tank has analyzed it for him.
If the tower is established, the least obvious damage among the three major operators should be telecom in the short term.
Because the telecom model has a smooth advantage in the "2G to 3G" time, once the tower company is established, the telecom can immediately lease its existing towers to mobile use, and collect a rent first. For the current telecom boss, it is a short-term political achievement and performance.
As for a few years later, when telecom needs to pay off its debts for the "3G to 4G" era, who knows if today's telecom CEOs will still be sitting in their current positions?
Maybe he's elevated, maybe he's leveled off.
Executives of China's state-owned enterprises are not responsible for the long-term interests of their enterprises in the same way as private companies. They just need to be like local officials who have only served two terms, and they can make enough achievements in front of them. It can be seen by looking at the fragmented planning of a development zone for a local emperor, a courtier, a mayor, and a development zone.
Among the three major operators, the relatively intermediate degree of interest should be China Mobile. Because China Mobile will have the greatest technical advantage in the future of "3G to 4G", which can complement telecom in turn.
Therefore, once this thing is done, there is a bit of essence, that is, it can allow telecom and mobile to communicate with each other. While the operator will certainly be damaged in other directions, it is somewhat possible to recover from this point.
In the end, only poor Unicom, because there is no "generational complementarity" between mobile and telecom, so once the tower is established, they can only rent a little telecom tower at the moment, and it is unlikely that someone else will rent their tower in the future.
In addition, after the restructuring, the three major operators will lose the benefits of self-built towers, self-retracted deductions, and self-contracted construction for their own related households. China Unicom can be said to be harmful in this matter.
Gu Mojie's revenge for China Unicom's switch to iPhone4 as a "Wo" contract machine is coming!
Even if this is a bit of a fake public benefit, at least Gu Mojie is also on the basis of saving more than 100 billion yuan for the people of the whole country to build a tower, and he has found a joint report to avenge this private interest.
In order to accomplish such a major event, it is necessary to coordinate the interests of many parties.
First of all, convincing other members of the special committee and sub-committees, and even experts of the expert group, is a huge undertaking.
Second, even if the expert group and subgroups are persuaded to vote in the plenary meeting, the workload to be voted on is even more important if they want to be passed.
Finally, taking into account China's national conditions, even if the proposal is passed, with the poor executive power of the whole country, it has no legislative power, and it still has to rely on the people.
Therefore, in order to ensure execution, Gu Mojie has to obtain at least two of the three major operators who do not strongly oppose it.
It is difficult to connect horizontally and vertically, and it is far from ancient and modern.
Gu Mojie is really "as-".
……
As soon as the meeting was dismissed in the morning and when it was time for lunch, Gu Mojie expected that there would definitely be a lot of more "professional" arguments in the afternoon than in the morning, which came out of the mouth of the questioning brick family.
It's not that the IQ of those bricks has become higher all of a sudden, but that at lunchtime, many opinions from the stakeholder think tanks of the three major operators will accidentally run into the minds of the bricks out of thin air.
He was unmoved. Sooner or later, it will come.
I've been doing my homework for so long, and I've invested nearly a month of energy in this matter, can't I still deal with those temporary brick families?
While eating lunch, Gu Mojie thought about the ups and downs of these days.
A month ago, he didn't have the slightest clue how to be a good member of the committee.
It's not that he doesn't know what to propose, it's that he really doesn't have time to understand procedural matters, and he doesn't know how to use words, how to organize, and how to defend the proposal to improve the approval rate. Moreover, if this kind of thing is entrusted to non-people, it can easily lead to the leakage of the content of the proposal in advance and give the opponent too much time to prepare off-the-field.
Politics is also a very complex science, and he is not good at it. He only knows what he wants to say for the benefit of the country and the people, and how to tell the truth directly.
Later, in late February, Gu Mojie once met the person in charge of the provincial file who recruited him into the "Democratic National Construction Association", and said during the chat that "I lack a person in charge to help me organize proposals and defenses."
The person in charge of the stall said on the spot: "Why don't you consider Comrade Mo Ying? When she was the director of the General Manager's Office in Qian Yang, she wrote a ten-year provincial proposal to Mr. Xu. ”
At that time, Gu Mojie remembered: His mother is not yet 50 years old this year, and she should still have energy to do something occasionally, right?
When he returned home that day, Gu Mojie took the initiative to chat with Mo Ying for the first time.
"Mom, listen to Uncle Liu, you have written a proposal to Uncle Xu for many years? Do you know anything about that? ”
Mo Ying has been withdrawn from the system since 06 because Gu Mojie's business offended people and was withdrawn from the system. For the past 4 years, I have been at home and living a retirement life with nothing to do. At most, the Democratic National Construction Association asked her to preside over some of the province's file work, so that she could relax.
Without these jobs, this former strong woman would almost be forced to become a square dance aunt.
Therefore, when she heard Gu Mojie's question, Mo Ying's eyes were very chaotic at first, and it took a long time to glow with a hint of brilliance, a little incredible, and a little excited.
"What do you want to do?"
"You know that...... Your son is now a member of the National Council...... Well, I have a proposal next month, and I don't know who to write it for. Do you have the resources to do it, and you need reliable people. ”
Mo Ying shuddered for a while, and grabbed Gu Mojie's ear: "Your kid's wings are hard, aren't they?" Your Uncle Xu has been the general manager for ten years and a member of the provincial political committee for ten years, and I, the director of the general manager's office, wrote him a proposal for ten years. You say I don't have the resources, I don't know how to raise them! ”
A large state-owned enterprise with assets of billions. It is very common for the chairman of the board of directors and general managers to serve as provincial representatives and committee members at the local level. Mo Ying has been the director of the general manager's office in such a subordinate state-owned enterprise for ten years, and naturally he has not accumulated qualifications in vain. She has long been familiar with this kind of coordination between the government and the promotion of proposals.
Well, although the grade is a little low, she has only handled provincial-level proposals in those ten years, and has not handled national-level proposals.
However, talent is certainly enough.
"Mom, I'm going to bother you about this. In the past two years, you have rested enough, so you will work a little hard to exercise your muscles and bones...... If you need to recruit new people to cooperate, you can spend as much money as you like......"
Mo Ying has been unhappy for several years. A strong woman like her retreated at the age of 45 because of her son's succession, which is unbearable!
"Nonsense! How to do it, you kid teach me! As soon as Mo Ying slapped the table, she was energetic, picked up her mobile phone and dialed a string of numbers,
"Xiao Yao, Xiao Li, Xiao Chen...... And who else resigned to me and came to work with my sister immediately. What? You ask me what kind of job I offer you? In the future, you will be responsible for writing proposals, writing defenses, and being a think tank for Xiaojie for the rest of your life. ”
"What? Xiaoyao, are you afraid that this job will not last long? You're a little girl, you think you're young at 30 years old, right? Xiaojie is only 24, and he is far from retired when you retire! Ma Yu to my sister, this job is guaranteed to be enough for you to work for a lifetime, and the salary is 5 times higher than if you stayed in a state-owned enterprise! ”
As soon as Mo Ying's old subordinates heard that they were working for Gu Mojie, the richest man in the province, they immediately resigned without saying a word, and came back to Gu Mojie as a "copywriting dog".
Gu Mojie does not hesitate to spend money at all in raising a copywriting and public relations mediation team. A few million a year is enough to form a top proposal think tank that is strong enough in China -- not all committee members and deputies are big-wield. At least ninety percent of the committee members and deputies spend only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan each year on their motions.
Gu Mojie spends millions of dollars every year on his proposal copywriting and planning, not including public relations costs, which is already a sky-high price in China.
In other words, in a democracy like the United States, or a parliamentary country like the United Kingdom, there may be senators who are willing to spend so much money on the copywriting of bills.
But in a country like China, where the vast majority of deputies and committee members are only responsible for "puppets raising their hands" and "enthusiastically supporting the xx decision", Gu Mojie is the only one who is willing to take his status as a member so seriously and run it with so much money out of his own pocket.
Maybe there are people like Boss Li, or real estate tycoons like Ren Cannon, who can also afford to spend this money.
"Mr. Gu, it's almost time. The meeting is coming soon. Ye Minru, the secretary beside him, reminded Gu Mojie in a low voice, and then handed over all the defense materials that might be needed in the afternoon to Gu Mojie.
Most of the defense materials were prepared in advance, but some were temporarily supplemented by Gu Mojie's think tank based on the discussion in the morning.
"Okay, you've worked hard, go back and have a good rest." Gu Mojie smiled slightly and thanked Ye Minru.
Then, he re-entered the room, ready for questioning. (To be continued.) )
