"Oh, change the channel, change the channel! I said that in such a developed country as the Netherlands, why is there no other news? Are you angry with me, which station you change to, it's all this little red guy! ”

In the hotel room where the tour group gathered, a middle-aged man stood up and simply turned off the TV. Ignoring the anger of the woman behind him, he walked out helplessly.

"Lao He, this Sister Li is such a temper, she is not a bad person, you must not forget to ...... in your heart"

The middle-aged man who was called Lao He was stopped as soon as he went out, he turned around and saw that it was another leader in the tour group coming over, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't go to my heart, it's just Sister Li's temper, hehe-"

"Oh, the magic capital, coming from a big city, it's always inevitable to be a little proud." Leaders play the art of leadership, professionalism and mud.

"What kind of demon is she? Her man is a decent man, and I am also looking at Director Zhang's face. Look at what level Director Zhang is doing? Look at her again, they are all a family, why is there such a big gap in life? Forget it, don't care about her as a woman. It's just that I'm married to a demon capital, and I've seen a lot of people in the magic capital, and none of them are like her! ”

"Okay, less to say. It's not easy for everyone to come to the Netherlands once, so just give me face and don't make the atmosphere stiff. The leader patted Lao He on the shoulder, and sighed with empathy.

"But speaking of which, this kid called Zhou Shuo looks inconspicuous in China, who knew that he had such a great ability in the Netherlands?" Lao He didn't want to really cause the unhappiness of the leader, so he quickly changed the topic: "The Netherlands is a small place, but it's not so easy to be on TV for anything, right?" ”

"Are you a nobody in China when Zhou Shuo?" This leader is none other than that. It was Director Wang who led the delegation at the airport that day. How could the director of the dignified Economic and Trade Commission not know Zhou Shuo's origin? He laughed. He also said with honor: "This week's fame is not big, but his influence in China is not small!" Have you ever heard of Pan Han Group? It is to control Huajing and BOE. The group that also produces MP3s themselves. ”

"Of course, I know that there are not many companies in our country that can handle high-tech. If there were a few more people like the Pan Han Group, they would have caught up with the Premier League and the United States. ”

"Hey, you know this Zhou Shuo, in fact, he is the chairman of Fanhan Group!"

"Ahh

Zhou Shuo completed a week-long lecture tour, concluded his last exchange at the University of The Hague, and finally returned to the university town of Leiden on the outskirts of Amsterdam.

The lecture he gave in the Netherlands this time was more graphene at the beginning. But he can't stand it every time he has to talk a lot about the content of the communication network, over time. The information behind Zhou Shuo has also been investigated a lot by people with a heart.

The Dutch were amazed that such a young discoverer of graphene turned out to be a billionaire at the same time! This contrast is too strong, coupled with the influence of products such as Six Ears Software, Zlink and MP3 chips, and more people from the IT industry came later than from the material physics community.

After a few exchange lectures, Zhou Shuo's reputation as an expert in the field of communication can be regarded as completely stable. Even the University of The Hague is considering whether to hire him as an honorary professor.

When he returned to Leiden University, he was not nationally famous, not to mention the Netherlands, at least in the IT and materials physics worlds. Zhou Shuo's name is finally unknown to few people.

"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Andrew, the technical director of Telfort." Alan wore a formal suit today, fortunately, the Dutch latitude is quite high. Otherwise, he would have to die of heat.

"Mr. Andrew, this is Mr. Zhou Shuo, who recently came to the Netherlands from China for exchange. Mr. Zhou is not only the discoverer of graphene, but also a recognized expert in the field of information. ”

"Oh. Hello dear Zhou! "Andrew is a very strong Dutchman. It should be of some German descent. With blonde fluffy hair and three-dimensional facial features, he is indeed a very attractive person. He held Zhou Shuo's hand tightly. He said in English that he was not very proficient in: "I have long heard that Mr. Zhou is very accomplished in optical communication, and I asked Mr. Allen to take me over to study." ”

Alan and Andrew invited Zhou Shuo to sit down, an open-air café by the sea in Amsterdam with a great setting and style. The refreshing sea breeze in the summer, the chirping of seagulls in the ears, and the beautiful women with large areas of white skin on the streets walking around, it is really a paradise for men.

The waitress in a lace apron brought delicate snacks and coffee, and smiled shyly with the tall and handsome Andrew, which made Zhou Shuo's heart shake and a small flame scurried - his days in the imperial capital and the Netherlands continued, and his young and strong body obviously had some excessive hormones.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou is very interested in OTN technology, and we Telfort are one of the five telecom operators in the Netherlands, and we are very interested in this technology. With this technology, can a transmission rate of 100G really be achieved? ”

Zhou Shuo was awakened by Andrew's question, nodded and said, "If you want to reach the speed of 100G, you must cooperate with our company's network products. Such speeds are only possible if the entire system works together perfectly. ”

"Your perfect fit...... What does that mean? ”

"Not only do we use OTN technology in the optical transmission mode, but the entire network needs to use our specially developed equipment, the construction conditions must meet our design requirements, and the personnel must also go through a considerable amount of training in operation and maintenance." Zhou Shuo pointed his fingers one by one, and said: "OTN technology is a wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission technology, which is completely different from the current cable transmission system, and the requirements for the equipment environment are of course completely different. ”

"So, it's going to be expensive?"

Andrew's face was a little ugly, Telfort was not strong enough, otherwise it would not be able to operate without a license. He appeared here today, in fact, mainly with the mentality of making technical reserves. As the Technical Director of Telfort, he must always be at the forefront of technology in order to provide technical basis and support for the company's decision-making. Since he had heard from Allen that OTN, which was still in concept state, already had a product, he certainly needed to find out for himself.

Speaking of which, this is also the benefit of "small companies", like the CTOs of the other four telecom operators in the Netherlands, haven't they heard the wind? No, probably he couldn't pull his face to come to the door to ask for advice, but waited for Zhou Shuo to go to the top to develop his business. Telfort is a small company, so naturally there is no reserved capital, and Andrew came to the door in person.

But even if it was just a one-time understanding, he was a little frustrated when he realized that the cost of the OTN network might not be affordable for Telfort.

"It's not wrong to say that the cost is high, a more economical project cost, at least should be a city. 100G backbone network, 80 kilometers of fiber optic lines, two digital centers, one control and maintenance center, related software and maintenance equipment, personnel training, the total cost should be about 50 million US dollars. ”

There are 12 provinces in the Netherlands, which are actually equivalent to cities in China - and the districts are equivalent to county-level cities in China. As for the actual cost, 50 million US dollars is definitely not, 50 million yuan also needs to be considered, if only the price of equipment is calculated, 2, 30 million yuan is already full.

More than 10 years later, China's county-level city telecom investment, let alone 20 million yuan, maybe 2 million yuan can complete the entire project -- of course, there is basically no need to consider the problems of network speed and stability. The maintenance cost and use cost must also be amortized. The same is true for the cost of Internet in China, the poorer the place, the more expensive it is to access the Internet, and the faster and cheaper the Internet access in the economically developed areas. To put it bluntly, it's just that the intensity of infrastructure investment is different.

But for Andrew, this price is tantamount to seeing the dawn from God! $50 million a city? The construction of the whole country of the Netherlands is only 500 million, although it is still more than Telfort can afford, but it is much lower than his previous psychological price. In terms of cost performance, Zhou Shuo's offer is even at least one-third lower than the quotation of other telecommunications projects in the Netherlands!

Don't forget that the current backbone capacity in the Netherlands is only 20G. The cost of 20G network is as high as $15 million in a city! If it were to expand to 100G network capacity with the technology currently used by Telfort, it would cost at least $75 million.

The $500 million Telfort company can't take it out at once, but it can take it slowly, little by little. Or increase shares, or take out loans, and if it doesn't work, you can do it city by city. The key is that as long as you do it, it is the biggest victory! Other companies only have 20G networks, but Telfort has 100G, isn't it obvious which one users will choose?

Andrew excitedly said: "Mr. Zhou Shuo, I would like to ask you to help me make a detailed plan description. Taking the city of Amsterdam as an example, how much budget is needed and what kind of preparation is needed, I will propose to the company to build at least one city project to see the effect. ”

Zhou Shuo was indispensable for door-to-door business, but then asked rhetorically: "I heard that Telfort has a GSM communication license in its hand, does this plan include wireless communication networks?" (To be continued......)
