Chapter 938: PHS Project
Big Brother is such a thing that Song Yuanchao can't look down on at all, after all, he is also a person who has used a smartphone.
But it's such a broken thing, when it just came out, it actually sold for 30,000 yuan, and now it's cheaper, but it still has to sell for more than 20,000 yuan, you know how much is a set of courtyard houses in Yanjing now? A big brother can almost change a yard.
For the research and development of mobile phones, Shenghua has been carrying out, as early as the United States company was just established, that is, when the development of pagers began.
Compared with pagers, the research and development of mobile phones is much more difficult from a technical point of view, especially the baseband of mobile phones is the main part. Although the American company has obtained some of the technology, it has not yet formed its own overall R&D results in many core aspects, and only partially completed.
Among them, there are reasons for the failure of technology to break through, and there are also reasons for the current scientific and technological barriers. However, Song Yuanchao still invested a lot of money in this area, and strived to be able to come up with perfect mobile phone results in the past few years.
In addition, Song Yuanchao also set his sights on the PHS technology that has just come out in Japan, that is, the personal handheld wireless telephone system.
Speaking of this technology, we can't help but mention the brains of the Japanese, who are the best at using their brains on some original things to make some unbelievable things.
Historically, the Japanese have done this a lot, especially during World War II, when the Germans were desperately researching high-end technologies to turn them into militarized uses. For example, missiles, small submarines, jet planes and even flying saucers and other black technologies.
But what about the Japanese? They seem to be pointing in the wrong direction on the technology tree, and they always like to study some variants and adaptations on existing technologies. During the war years, the so-called Fulong individual underwater attack system, national anti-tank special attack weapons, local decisive national pistols, flying tanks, and the most famous Sakura suicide jet fighter were tossed out.
The same is true in mobile phone technology, the Japanese PHS technology is a kind of use of small cell technology, through the small cell base station to achieve wireless coverage, the user end (that is, wireless local phone phone) in a wireless way to access the local telephone network, so that the traditional sense of fixed telephone is no longer fixed in a certain location, can be freely used within the wireless network coverage, anytime and anywhere to answer, make local and domestic and international calls, to achieve the effective extension and supplement of the local phone.
This technology was invented by the Japanese all over the world, and it was not accepted by the advanced countries of the West in the future use, but the countries and regions in Southeast Asia have been used to a certain extent due to the constraints of conditions.
In China, this technology is also called "PHS", entered the country in 1996, because the terminal price of PHS was much cheaper than that of mobile phones at that time, and the communication cost was also unusually low, and it was welcomed by many consumers who could not afford to buy mobile phones.
In the past few years after entering the country, the PHS market has developed rapidly, but due to the congenital deficiencies and the joint suppression of mobile communication operators, the promotion and application of PHS are not satisfactory.
After 2003, with the improvement of mobile phone technology, coupled with the significant decline in the cost of mobile phone manufacturers, the price and communication cost of mobile phones have also been greatly reduced.
But now, PHS still has a relative advantage compared with Big Brother, first, the cost is much lower than Big Brother, second, there is not much difference between the current communication effect of the two, and third, PHS's call time is stronger than that of Big Brother, and it is more convenient to carry in small size.
In this case, Song Chaoyuan has asked the American company to negotiate technology transfer with Japan's NTT, PHS technology was invented as early as 1989 by Japan's NTT laboratory, and now this technology has been quite perfected and entered practical use.
Although Japan has not really promoted this technology, after all, there are many links from the improvement to the application of a new technology in Japan, and the brain circuits of Japanese people are different from others, on the one hand, they will innovate in technology, but on the other hand, they will resist the practical application of new technologies, and this contradictory mentality does not know where it comes from.
Therefore, although NTT has always wanted to promote this technology, due to various reasons, Japanese operators are not enthusiastic about the use of this technology, and the two sides have been negotiating for a long time, and it was not officially launched until 1995.
NTT, as the owner of the technology, is also distressed by this situation, but it is also helpless.
At this time, the appearance and contact of Song Yuanchao American company made them see the practical application of this technology. After the contact, the attitude of the other party was very enthusiastic, and even a little excessive, which surprised the representatives of the American companies who had negotiated in the past.
After hearing about this situation, Song Chaoyuan was able to understand NTT's thoughts, NTT has spent a lot of effort on this technology, and has always wanted to use it practically to promote, but because of the refusal of domestic operators, it is difficult to promote it.
Now there are American dad's companies taking the initiative to negotiate technology purchases, which makes them see the light of day at once. NTT feels that if the technology they came up with can be recognized by American fathers, it is extremely proud and honorable, and American fathers can use this technology first, then it is equivalent to proving the advanced and practical nature of this technology, and then it will be much easier to negotiate with domestic operators.
But enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and the Japanese are not stupid, but the conditions they offer for the next transfer of technology are quite outrageous, and the American company was shocked to get the conditions offered by NTT, and for a while thought that the other party had taken the wrong information? It's just a PHS technology, and it's not a high-end technology, which is really incredible.
When the news was reported to Song Yuanchao's side, Song Chaoyuan directly asked the American company to suspend the negotiations without saying a word, and without the slightest hesitation to suspend the project, regardless of the Japanese side's retention. At the same time, the U.S. company also privately put pressure on NTT through channels, revealing to the three major Japanese operators that they are not optimistic about PHS technology.
This directly hit NTT's soft underbelly, you must know that NTT originally wanted to negotiate with American companies and use this as a bargaining chip to gain the approval of domestic operators, so as to quickly start the PHS technology project. Who would have thought that the U.S. company has not only suspended the cooperation now, but also the news about the imperfection of PHS technology is flying all over the sky, which suddenly makes the operators who are not optimistic about this technology lose interest in PHS technology.
As a result, NTT suddenly became anxious, and the technology that it had managed to come up with was very important, and the internal accusations immediately began to rise to each other, some said that there was a problem with the attitude towards the American father, and some said that the person who led the cooperation negotiations did not understand the problem from the beginning and was too greedy, and the tactics and methods used were absolutely wrong.
As soon as the new project leader arrived, he took the initiative to contact the American company again, asking to restart the negotiations, and gave much more favorable conditions than the last time.
The U.S. company did not appear to be impatient, but replied with a few words of ignorance, which made NTT more urgent. In order to achieve their ultimate goal through the transfer and use of technology by American companies, NTT took the initiative to give in one more step, so that the American companies restarted negotiations half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.
Song Yuanchao's home in Xiangjiang, Song Yuanchao, Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo, the three of them are sitting and waiting for news from Japan.
Today is the day when the American company and NTT officially signed the agreement, and Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo rushed to Song Yuanchao's side early in the morning.
Although they were waiting for news, the expressions of the three of them were relaxed, because the negotiation process of this agreement had ended today, and it was just the final signing.
And this time, in order to get the PHS technology, Shenghua made a lot of preparations so early.
Sipping tea, chatting about other topics, and waiting for the results from Japan.
"Hu Yaoqing has come to Xiangjiang? also started a cooperation with Da Liu? Did you introduce this? Qin Zhengguo chatted about his children for a while, and suddenly asked.
Song Yuanchao asked Qin Zhengguo how he knew, and he didn't talk to others about this matter in advance.
"How else do you know, we met at a drinking party yesterday." Qin Zhengguo said with a smile, yesterday he attended a business cocktail party, and happened to meet Hu Yaoqing who was with Da Liu at the cocktail party. Although Qin Zhengguo had never met Hu Yaoqing, he knew Hu Yaoqing, and he knew who the other party was as soon as Da Liu introduced him.
"Aiding the DPRK, it's not me talking about you, it's better for Hu Yaoqing to stay away, after all, he is different from Luo Yang, he is not a person on the same road. In addition, Da Liu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and God knows what will happen to the two of them when they get together. On the side, Li Daqi frowned slightly, his sense of Hu Yaoqing was average, although he had never dealt with him, but he knew that Luoyang's original Dashilar business finally fell into the hands of Hu Yaoqing.
Li Daqi and Luo Yang have a good relationship, because this matter is not good for Hu Yaoqing. And as he said, whether it is Hu Yaoqing or Da Liu, these two are not fuel-efficient lamps, and no one knows what will happen in the future when they toss together now.
"I know." Song Yuanchao nodded noncommittally, some things he didn't say to Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo, for Hu Yaoqing and Da Liu, Song Chaoyuan had his own ideas, and he also understood that Li Daqi said these things for his good.
"By the way, how is the communication on the post and telecommunications side?" Song Chaoyuan changed the topic and asked.
"At present, the PHS technology has not yet arrived, and many later things cannot be discussed, but after the initial contact, several leaders of post and telecommunications are still quite interested in this project." At the same time that the American company began to negotiate with NTT, Song Chaoyuan asked Li Daqi to communicate tentatively with the post and telecommunications side, because the next PHS promotion in China must be through the post and telecommunications, at present, the post and telecommunications have not been separated, and all communications are still post and telecommunications, and after 1998, the post and telecommunications will be officially separated, so that there are two major enterprises of post and telecommunications.
"It's good to be sure, you have to pay more attention to this matter, and in addition, our current coverage integration plan for the paging station will be done as soon as possible, once the PHS project is passed, the coverage of the base station is the top priority."
