Chapter 207: Attack! PHS
"From BB to Big Brother, and then to PHS, we haven't actually experienced many years. It can only be said that the era of telecommunications is developing too fast, and it is impossible to say what the future will look like. In a restaurant outside Xueyuan Road, Chu Qing and the three of them found a small private room and ordered three or two side dishes and a bottle of bamboo leaf green.
Li Shihe and Chu Qing are fellow countrymen. A black tunic, with a pen on his chest, is the daily wear of academics in this era.
He was in the Xi'an Research Institute before, and it was only with Lao Wu that he was transferred to the capital.
"Well, in the era of digital communications, one day at a time, according to Silicon Valley, the number of transistors in integrated circuits doubles every 18 months. With such rapid development, within a few years, these technologies will now be obsolete. R&D cannot be stopped for a moment, which is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Chu Qing, who has an incomparable understanding of future generations, is convinced of this.
In fact, in many fields, in the eighties and nineties, the gap between us and the world was not so big. It is precisely because of the guidance of the trend of trade, industry and technology that we have stagnated in many industries.
In the era of rapid change, let alone stagnation, as long as you slow down your development slightly, you will be distanced by your opponents.
Stagnation is tantamount to regression.
"So the future is still for you young people, we are all fifty or sixty people, and we can't toss for a few years." Regarding Chu Qing's point of view, Lao Ren is very convinced.
"So Xiao Chu, you have to understand that GSM is the trend of the times, whether it is in terms of security or communication effect, it is higher than PHS. It is a matter of time before it is replaced, and it is better to plan early than to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to develop a product that has no future. As he spoke, he took out an internal journal from two months ago, and there was an analysis report on it, which was about GSM.
Chu Qing and Lao Ren glanced at each other, and instantly understood Li Shihe's consciousness. The one above is clearly in favor of GSM.
This is also an official notice to them.
"The trend of the times is inevitable, and we naturally won't use our arms as a car. So don't you find you, we still have a lot of deficiencies in technology, and we still need a lot of support from experts like you. As the other party is in charge of this aspect, Chu Qing naturally knows the truth that his arms can't reach his thighs.
In the previous life, with internal support, PHS still didn't support it for long. As for whether PHS has a future, Chu Qing believes that any technology has its merits.
It's just a matter of seeing if it's used correctly. In the last life, PHS went offline for many reasons, the most well-known being to make way for 3G.
However, the real reason is that the PHS standard is in the hands of the book, because the book does not have as high base station density as ours, and the traffic density is high, and the power to improve the PHS standard is lacking.
Coupled with the uncertainty of the policy at that time, domestic manufacturers entered PHS with the intention of making quick money.
Therefore, the technology of PHS has not been developed. In the end, it became inevitable to be eliminated.
However, there are two sides to everything. PHS has the smallest power usage of all communication standards.
As a result, the talk time is longer on a single charge, which is more convenient to use and more energy-efficient. In 08, PHS also discovered another function.
In the case that all base stations fail, only PHS can make normal calls. The PHS air interface can also support the intercom function between terminals, and the terminal can also play the role of a walkie-talkie even if it is detached from the base station.
So some people on the Internet ridiculed that if a nuclear war broke out, PHS would become the last hope! In particular, the TDD mode of PHS technology is a pioneer in the application of small cells.
All these have made a great contribution to the future of mobile communication engineering. In later generations, in addition to the good development of PHS in Xiaori, many areas still retain the existence of PHS.
The book is the introduction of OFDM and other technologies on PHS,In the end, they have evolved to support package exchange,Emobile's XGP can even reach the 3.75G level,This is also the book in the 4G era
"Autonomous technology". So there is no uselessness in any technology, it is just that it is suitable or not. But these are not too important to Chu Qing.
After all, whether it is 2G, 2.5G or 3G, it will not last for many years. Digital communications are evolving much faster than anyone could imagine.
He started to be PHS, and he didn't think about really using it to do GSM, his original purpose was actually the same as everyone else, that is, to use the advantages of PHS to make more money.
After all, whether it is the development of 3G or mobile phones, it requires a lot of money. If we do not take advantage of the past few years to master more technology and resources, and wait until after joining the WTO, it will be the time to really fight for bayonets, and it is impossible to imagine such a peaceful development as it is now.
"You kid, didn't you say it was very tough at the party a few days ago, and now you're coming to me to complain." Li Shihe also took out Chu Qing's speech in moving China and teased him.
Then he said with a straight face: "After all, you are a private enterprise, and there are many things, and we can't do too much." The only thing that can be given is some ZC stuff. GSM is up to you, but it probably won't change much in the last two years. Now that I'm helping you, you should understand that sometimes time is more important than anything else. "The last GSM has been officially introduced since 1994.
In this life, with the butterfly Chu Qing, he flapped the wings of PHS and postponed the entry of GSM to 1995.
At the beginning, the domestic GSM base stations were basically all Ericsson and Nokia. Even if Huawei made the first set of domestic GSM equipment in 1997, it had to rely on the GSM core network to subsidize GSM base stations for a long time because of the encirclement and interception of Western companies, but in this way, it could only get orders from some small marginal cities.
The reason why domestic manufacturers missed the first wave of opportunities. It's because of the uncertainty of ZC.
The reason why Huawei only launched its first GSM equipment at the end of 1997 was not because their technology could not keep up.
It's because of the situation at the time, no one knew that it would become the standard. Huawei has a history and is called
The background of the "Zheng and Li controversy" is in the choice of GSM and CDMA. This lasted for more than a year, and it was not until the end of 1996, when the attitudes of all parties were clear, that Huawei made up its mind to invest in the research and development of GSM.
Chu Qing, who understands this, can only understand the importance of time by looking at Li Shihe's sentence again.
As soon as GSM confirms its entry into the country, BBK and Huawei will be able to get the exact news first, which undoubtedly gives them a lot of room to operate.
With the strength of BBK and Huawei now, just like Li Shihe said, even if they don't give it to people, they can quickly come up with their own things.
Besides, how can it really not be given. After the meeting that day, a team resigned from Dongfang Communications and joined the joint research center of BBK and Huawei.
Without any preparation, the GSM project was directly pushed onto the horse. A month later, on April 10, Ericsson and Guangdong Province reached a cooperation, and GSM officially began to settle down.
On April 18, Nokia and Jingcheng Post and Telecommunications Factory jointly established Jingcheng Nokia Co., Ltd. and began to produce GSM systems and mobile phones.
…… Xu Lihua, a native of Suizhou, Hubei, taught at Jiaotong University in 1991, followed the tide of the times and became a member of the sea.
After working for a year in a Taiwanese-funded pager factory in Shenzhen, he saw the future of Hanxian pagers.
He then wrote a 'feasibility report on Chinese pagers', and because he had ideas at that time and struggled with lack of funds, he took this report and looked around for 'funds'.
After hitting a wall many times, the government of Daqiao Town, Fenghua City, Zhejiang Province was very interested in this project, so it established Bird Company in Ningbo, Zhejiang.
It was the one that hit later
Waveguide for "fighter in the phone". In the 90s, the most sought-after electronic products in mobile communication were not big brothers, but BB machines.
In 1994, Bird's BB machine sold 450,000 units nationwide, and this number did not even qualify for entering the top five.
That year, the BB machine priced at 2,000 units has exceeded 25 million units nationwide. But in the second half of 1994, Xu Lihua found that Yuedong, which has always been the largest sales leader of BB machines, suddenly appeared unsalable BB machines.
For two months in a row, there was a wild drop in sales data. Xu Lihua, who found that something was wrong, immediately rushed to eastern Guangdong to check.
When he bought a PHS for 6,000 yuan, Xu Lihua knew that the future of the BB machine was over.
The reason why BB machine can rise rapidly in China. In addition to the fact that it is smaller and more convenient than the big brother, more importantly, it is only one-tenth of the price of the big brother.
Don't worry about the problem of bad signal, as long as there is a fixed line next to you, it is no worse than the big brother.
You must know that at that time in foreign countries, the standard configuration of ordinary people was BB machine + fixed telephone. Big Brother is mainly used by professionals, such as firefighters, ambulance crews, etc.
But the mobile phone that originally needed 20,000 yuan now only costs 6,000, and the size is only twice the size of the average BB machine, when a pocket can fit it.
There is no need for the BB machine to exist. People who can spend 2,000 to buy a BB machine may not be able to get 20,000 yuan to buy a big brother, but they must be willing to spend more money to buy a better PHS.
Thinking of this, Xu Lihua immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Bird's BB machine has just improved a little, and now it has actually inserted a new product, and it is the kind of fierce rival that can shoot the BB machine to death on the cliff in an instant.
Xu Lihua also made a quick decision, turned around and went back to Ningbo, and held a board meeting, and within a week, the project of Bird PHS mobile phone was put on the agenda.
In 1994, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a license for the production of fixed telephones. Compared with the difficulty of BBK's application in 1993, at this time, the production license for fixed telephones has begun to relax the issuance requirements.
When he learned that PHS was going to be piloted in Central China, even though Bird's mobile phone did not have any eyebrows, Xu Lihua still got on the postal line through the relationship and became one of the new PHS mobile phone manufacturers.
Since coming into contact with PHS, Xu Lihua has developed a strong interest in this backgammon, which was not in the same line as himself.
Offline direct sales, agent joining, learning machine, VCD, variety shows, records, DVDs. No wonder he felt familiar at first, and subconsciously looked at the VCD player he bought for the Chinese New Year last year, and the VCD discs that his lover rented back.
Only then did he realize that before he knew it, backgammon had infiltrated so many industries. Xu Lihua was not invited to participate in "Moving China", but in front of the TV, he also saw that person, the person who changed the future of BB machines.
The man who almost plunged the waveguide into the abyss. [In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp to install the latest version.
Chu Qing's sentence
"I'm willing to spend ten or twenty years on R&D," I don't know if others have listened to it. But Xu Lihua listened to it.
In the eyes of the outside world, he was an opportunist. As soon as I came into contact with BB machines, I dared to leave everything behind and gamble on an uncertain future.
But only Xu Lihua himself knows that his gambling has always been lost. He studied computer mathematics in college and a master's degree in business administration.
Years of study have made him accustomed to analyzing the logic behind the market. Others saw him rashly stepping on the BB machine, but they didn't know how much preparation and research he had done.
To write that feasibility report, he analyzed most of the data that was already available at the time.
The reason why the Daqiao Town Government dared to invest in him was also impressed by the data in him. Now the data performance of BBK and PHS, and the analysis he has drawn during this time, once again make him believe that technology, industry and trade will be the real future.
However, Bird's PHS mobile phone has just started construction, and now there is another GSM!
"Is it GSM or PHS?" Rao is Xu Lihua, who is used to analysis, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Why don't we take a look at backgammon's options?" Sui Bo, one of the four masters of Bird, has also read a lot of backgammon information recently, and subconsciously mentioned it.
"What's new in backgammon lately?" Reminded of this, Xu Lihua asked his secretary.
"Yes! At the end of March, BBK's Xbox debuted in Xiangjiang and accepted global reservations. At the beginning of April, the new DVD was launched in the country......"
"Stop! I'm asking about the PHS project. ”
"PHS ~ At the beginning of March, BBK's PHS business was fully rolled out in Central China, and a red folding mobile phone was also launched."
And launched the purchase of PHS to send phone bills business, but also increased the subsidy for PHS. High-end members can get up to $500 off when they buy PHS. The secretary hurriedly rummaged back, found the night of PHS, and reported a message that he had only gotten not long ago.
"TMD, it's this trick again!" Xu Lihua, who was already very familiar with the backgammon routine, burst into a foul mouth when he heard this.
As early as the era of learning machines, BBK used membership discounts and various subsidy discounts to defeat other opponents.
I didn't expect this trick, which has been useless in eastern Guangdong, to just enter the central China market, and BBK will use it again.
"They're playing a blitzkrieg and want to seize the market!" Sui Bo, who reacted, instantly lit up his eyes.
"Yes, it seems that backgammon should be determined to be PHS." After scolding, Xu Lihua also reminisced.
"Then we ......"
"Bet on PHS!"
