Bai Zhongqi's expression has not changed much, and he is clear about the image and reputation of several major telecom service providers in China. The combined number www.biquge.info of employees of these powerful monopolies is in the millions, and the scale is quite large, including the personnel in the surrounding industrial chain. The most powerful telecom operators make hundreds of millions of profits every day, and the others are also exactly the same. It has been criticized for covering many users, poor service and low quality. There have been free-marketeers who have been holding on to this and calling for greater private competition, but at the heart of it is profiteering.

The technology of Sky Survey Network is subversive and even destructive, it directly destroys the existing form of telecommunication services, and is an apocalypse for the industry.

But for these monopolies, there is also a huge temptation for them. The construction cost, development cost, and maintenance cost have almost all been reduced to 0, and these companies retain the necessary components such as marketing teams and customer service teams, and even if the support fee has fallen, they are also profitable.

In Xiang Fei's office, Sui Rong, a general manager from a monopoly telecommunications service provider, sat there helplessly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Director Xiang, it's not that we oppose the introduction of such excellent technology by the country, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and our company also raises its hands to agree, and is more willing to provide users with better services. But this transformation and transition problem is quite tricky, our company has 570,000 employees, and millions of related personnel, other companies are not as large as us, but it is definitely not small. If you rashly go on the Sky Survey Network, millions of people will be laid off, what a big impact this is on the country. ”

Xiang Fei was relatively calm, he drank tea, sat behind the desk and looked at the general manager who was in charge of transformation and transition affairs, and said: "That's why the state has set up a special office specifically for planning and carrying out transformation and transition matters." I also want to hear what your company's plan is. ”

Sui Rong immediately leaned over and handed over the document to Xiang Fei, and said, "Yes, yes, I'm tired of Director Xiang and the leaders, this is the preliminary plan proposed by the company." ”

Xiang Fei looked at it roughly, frowned tightly, and said: "The free access to the Sky Survey Network has become a paid access, and the services you originally provided have basically changed the name and continued, and you still plan to slow down the Sky Survey Network?" ”

Sui Rong immediately explained: "We have investigated the speed reduction, and the speed of 100Tbps is actually not used by ordinary people, even if the basic speed of 2Gbps is provided, it is enough to meet the needs of most users, and the user experience is not comparable to the previous network." As for higher speeds, they can be provided to enterprises and academic institutions that need them. Different tariffs are charged according to different services. ”

Xiang Fei retorted: "Research? You are using your present and previous experience to investigate, and we are about to take a new path, and the previous experience is not of high reference value. ”

He paused, pointed to the numbers on the plan, and said: "Your tariff standard, the monthly cost of ordinary users is not much lower than before, and the cost of advanced services is even more than before." ”

Sui Rong said again: "Director Xiang, there are hundreds of thousands of people up and down our company, as well as related industrial personnel, so many people want to eat. What's more, the company is still a big profit and tax of the country, if a one-size-fits-all is severe, the industry shrinks seriously, which is a huge negative impact on the country's economic strategy and finance, we also consider the law of market economy, in accordance with the principle of economic development. ”

Xiang Fei frowned and asked, "Your employees want to eat?" So why are there as many as 100,000 layoffs on this plan? ”

Sui Rong said: "This is also normal, Director Xiang, the Sky Survey Network is a revolutionary technology, just through the space-based communication facilities provided by the Iridium people, we can achieve nationwide coverage, we don't need to build any base stations, we don't need engineering construction teams, plus some other related positions, it has become unnecessary." The state is now also engaged in streamlining the administration and improving administrative efficiency, so it can't support idlers, right? However, our company will not ignore this part of the employees, we will provide very favorable treatment, and hope that the state will allow us to invest in subsidiaries in other industries to accommodate such a large number of employees, of course, only by the company's own strength, it is difficult to place such a large number of laid-off employees, which is indispensable to the support of the state. ”

Xiang Fei's face turned completely cold, and said: "Manager Sui, your company is really a good calculation, as soon as the Sky Survey Network came out, you cut the cost by at least half, and then you also laid off employees to save labor costs." In this way, your company will not only have no losses, but also make a lot of money. This mess is all left to the country and the government to solve for you, and in the end, you will take advantage of it, right? ”

Sui Rong was not afraid of Xiang Fei's questioning, he also said aggrievedly: "My Director Xiang, what you said, our company is a state-owned enterprise, and it is to listen to the command and talk about politics, but if the enterprise wants to develop and the industry wants to progress, it must act according to the laws of the market, right?" The company is profitable, and it is also the profit of the country and society. What can we take advantage of? I am a middle- and high-level cadre in the head office, and the monthly salary is only more than 30,000 yuan, so the salary of the management of any private company will be so low? Everyone is dedicated to the country, and there is absolutely no selfishness. ”

Xiang Fei will never believe Sui Rong's nonsense, maybe on the surface Sui Rong and other middle and high-level companies do not have much income, but these monopolies themselves are interest groups, they can form benefits just by having a position within the company, this benefit is not necessarily economic, but it is impossible to rule out the economic aspect.

Xiang Fei didn't want to waste more words with Sui Rong, but the proposals he met with from other companies were basically the same. Xiang Fei also sneered, these enterprises are used to acting in the industry, and they are public goods that the country cannot do without people's lives, so their bargaining power is also very strong.

No one wants to cut the meat on themselves at this time, but they all look at the pie falling from the sky and think about how to divide the food. What the real state needs, what society needs, and how it is beneficial to the people, there may be people within these monopolies who are worried about the country and the people, but the power of interest groups is too strong, so they will naturally oppose anything that endangers their interests.

Xiang Fei is also very troubled, in terms of space development, star alliance government, etc., country C has basically reached an agreement with the Iridium United Empire, and it is the transformation and transition that is stuck in the process. This is true not only in the telecommunications industry, but in almost every powerful industry with similar problems, but to a different extent.

In terms of electricity, Siiico has proposed a complete phase-out of fossil fuel combustion, first coal, and then oil and gas. Nuclear fusion will be used as the source of energy, and at the same time, the transmission mode will be completely changed, and it will become a long-range wireless power transmission and transformation technology provided by Iridium. From infrastructure to operation, the transition to power system transformation is also fraught with obstacles.

The situation of the three barrels of oil is slightly better, and a large amount of fuel is still needed during the transition period, and the updated refining equipment provided by Starlink will expand the refining and product line of the three barrels of oil, and the three barrels of oil will usher in a period of rapid growth in a short period of time. In the future, it is expected that the three barrels of oil will still be developed for oil and gas, but the product will be changed to provide carbon and other products to Iridium and country C.

The steel and smelting industries are almost all winters, and the neuronal production line will make a small steelmaking plant with maybe 100 people become an annual steel production of hundreds of millions of tons, and all the equipment and technology of the original smelting industry will be eliminated, and a large number of workers will also need a way out.

Xiang Fei became a headache when he thought of this, joining the United Nations means a major opportunity for country C, but the challenge is also quite huge. If the problem of transformation and transition is not properly handled, the long-term construction achievements of country C may be ruined. And country C is even more unlikely to retreat from joining the United Nations, so it can only move forward bravely.
