Chapter 620: Snatching the Bottomless Gold Mine
Guo Zhuocheng thought for a while, and immediately changed his mind and said, "You should stay in the game company." You send me someone to keep an eye on Nintendo, and I must not let them develop, and I must try to suppress them, and try to buy the technicians and sales experts in them, and if necessary, you can ignore the cost until you swallow them. ā
Jack said seriously, "Okay. I believe that we can acquire them, at least to ensure that they become a small supporting enterprise for our company. ......, Guo, what about radio and digital program-controlled switches? Otherwise, I'll go home and tell my adoptive father about the situation, and let him preside over the matter. He is also an expert in the field of electronics, and he has several friends who work in the Bell Sil yĆ n room. ......, what did you just say about the wireless paging system, what is that? ā
Guo Zhuocheng asked in disbelief: "You are engaged in electronic research and production, why don't you know wireless paging?" This began to be used on a small scale in '94. It's just that the volume was too large at that time, and the range of use was not wide, but now with large-scale integrated circuits, the volume can be greatly reduced. ......, I expect that this one-way communication gadget will take the world by storm in the future. ā
Jack also asked incredulously, "Could it be more common than consoles?" I tell you that in European and American countries, almost every middle school student can have one game console, and on average, there may be more than one. ā
Guo Zhuocheng said: "This kind of wireless pager is definitely more popular in China than game consoles, although it cannot be said that everyone has one, but everyone who has a job and income has about one." ā
In the past life, wireless pagers were very popular in China, and the sound of BP machines could be heard everywhere on the road, and people often said when saying goodbye: "Something called me." ā
ā¦ā¦ Then, Guo Zhuocheng talked about the general function of the wireless pager in the face of the skeptical Jack, and talked about the general principle of the wireless pager in the same way as talking about missiles and aircraft with Qian Xuesen:
Wireless paging is a special way of radio communication. It consists of a wireless paging station, a portable miniature signal receiver and a telephone, which is connected to the telephone. It is a one-way signal transmission system, which is mainly used for the calling user to paging the called user carrying the receiver.
The working process is: when the calling user wants to call the called user in the distance, the number of the called user can be dialed out by using the ordinary telephone, and the call is transmitted to the wireless pager by telephone, and the call is sent out by the antenna by modulating to the specified frequency; All micro-receivers within the reach of this paging station can receive the signal it emits, but only the micro-receiver with the same number as the called number will respond, make a sound or vibrate to alert the carrier, and at the same time display the caller number on such a micro-receiver, thus completing a communication contact.
The person carrying the receiver can reply to the call based on the caller's number, or know the caller's intent from the information attached to it.
Wireless paging is popular because it provides convenience for people by providing them with the ability to establish communication connections while on the move.
After Guo Zhuocheng joined the work in his previous life, it was the hottest time for wireless paging. If you are not dressed properly, the security guard of the hotel or hotel may turn you away, but if you have a BP machine hanging on your belt, the security guard will let you go immediately.
In his previous life, he himself had used several BP machines with pure digital display and BP machines with large screens of Hanxian. This wireless pager was not slowly replaced by mobile phones until the 21st century, and it was not completely withdrawn from the stage of history until around 2006.
Of course, Guo Zhuocheng is only a user of BP, and he only knows that this thing will be widely used in the future, and the general principle and process are known, but the specific technology is not very clear. He did not know what POCSAG was or how 20,975 addresses could be represented by 2 binary bits.
But he knows how to use them, knows which of their basic functions is good, and knows how to design the form.
The reason why Guo Zhuocheng wants to enter the wireless pager market at this moment is because he wants to accumulate experience in the field of communication and reserve talents and technology.
People living in the 21st century know that the hottest and most profitable are IT and cars. Especially in the IT field, the network, computer, mobile phone ......, not only have many categories and profit points, but also are closely related to people's lives, have a huge impact on people, and can produce countless derivative industries.
In fact, what people don't know is that at the end of the twentieth century, the hottest and most profitable was communications, the most prominent representatives of which were program-controlled switches and optical transceivers.
After they mature and the market is occupied, this is the world of mobile phones and personal computers. It can be said that if we can gain a firm foothold in the communication equipment market in the decade from 990 to 2000, we will be able to occupy a place in the field of interconnection that will flourish in the future, and we will be able to establish a position that others cannot shake.
As far as China is concerned, the current China generally uses artificial magnet switches, and every time you make an outgoing call, you need an operator to help you connect and help you transfer out. Moreover, there are very few long-distance relay circuits, even if the carrier circuits used between large cities and large cities are used, generally only 30 can be provided, and only 30 pairs of users are allowed to talk at the same time. As for the county and township, it is basically one or two carrier circuits. If two companies have an urgent matter at the same time, either you can only let the person who calls first finish the call, and you go on again, or let the leader call first.
In the previous life, around 2000, there were 40 megabytes of optical fiber transceiver circuits between each township, which could provide more than 2,000 outgoing long-distance circuits, that is, more than 4,000 people could talk at the same time!
In more than ten years, the number of relay circuits has increased by more than 2,000 times! With so many circuits simply not being used, people no longer have to worry about trunk congestion when making calls, not to mention that there are several operators that provide trunk circuits at the same time.
From 990 to 2000, it was a period of great development of China's communications, and the state invested huge sums of money to speed up the transformation of communication equipment and the upgrading of communication networks across the country, and fed several foreign communication equipment enterprises.
For example, in 996, an inland province -- Hu Province -- proposed a million telephone installations, and the goal of this operation was to increase the number of telephone users by one million on the original basis, and its installed capacity to five million.
According to the calculation that each installed capacity needs to invest 100 US dollars, a province needs 500 million US dollars to introduce foreign exchange equipment, and if long-distance switches, optical cables, optical transceivers, and optical relay equipment are taken into account, the equipment imported from abroad is at least 800 million US dollars. If a province is like this, what a huge market the whole country should have, just think about it and let the population flow!
Guo wants to start preparing now, strive to win half of the market share when the time comes, and lay a solid foundation for the 21st century to enter the Internet.
Jack is obviously also a smart man, and he immediately guessed Guo's intentions: although he has not been to China many times, he has already felt the backwardness of China's communication equipment and communication network, and compared with the United States, China's communications are at least 30 years behind. Thirty years behind, this is a huge business opportunity.
"I'm going to try to convince my adoptive father to invest in this," he says. Is it better for us to set up this company in the United States or in China? ā
Guo Zhuocheng said: "There are at least two research institutes on both sides, the United States is engaged in cutting-edge Xing research, and the Chinese side focuses on applied research, and at the same time the manufacturers are placed on the Chinese side, because the labor cost is low here, the market is huge, which can greatly save transportation expenses and reduce China's domestic trade barriers." Now that China has encouraged foreign investment, there is little resistance to doing so. ā
Jack agreed: "It's good to set up research institutes on both sides!" It is easier to hire experts and scholars from the United States, and it is not only expensive to bring them to China, but it is also difficult to hire high-end experts. ā
Guo reminded him: "When applying for a patent, the name of the domestic research institute must also be written into the patent commons, as one of the patent holders. ā
Puzzled, Jack asked, "Why is this happening?" You should know that the United States still discriminates against China, and if the name of the domestic research institute is listed, it is likely to add some unnecessary costs. Anyway, it's our company, and the domestic name is the same whether it is hung or not. ā
Guo Zhuocheng said disappreciatively: "It's okay. The cost of the increase is to make it increase. ā
Because he knows that after the opening of the country, many Chinese people quickly changed from arrogance to blind worship of foreigners, always thinking that the moon abroad is round, and the deeper the mingling with foreigners, the more sticky foreign atmosphere, the more people like it, the better the market, and the higher the price. The same product, even if the quality is the same, as long as it comes from a foreign country, the price can be much higher, and more people will buy it.
At this time, compared with their counterparts in domestic enterprises, foreign companies have the best killer feature, that is, to invite Chinese leaders to go abroad. As long as a foreign company invites it, those who order equipment in China can immediately raise their hands and let them go.
Because domestic enterprises do not have this ability, they can only stare dryly.
Guo Shucheng is confident that he does not have the ability to completely reverse the consciousness of the Chinese people worshiping foreigners, and it is estimated that he can only take advantage of the trend in the future, and can only quietly do his own things while satisfying the psychology of the Chinese people.
ā¦ā¦ Next, Guo Zhuocheng and Jack discussed the matter of letting Mu Xiaoniu's company sell game consoles as an agent. Because the national policy has changed in advance, there is no need for Guo Zhuocheng to stick to the timetable of his previous life, so let the contact points established by Mu Xiaoniu in each large and medium-sized city officially transfer to the company system, and let them start doing business openly.
Obviously, Mu Xiaoniu's best business now is to run a logistics company: because they now have bases in large and medium-sized cities across the country, as long as they collect a little information, they can grasp the scarcity and abundance of prices and materials across the country.
