Zhao Ye's network can go directly to Tianting, and in the afternoon of the same day, he called the relevant leaders, expressing the suggestion that China can build the network on its own, and said that Wujiang Group can go all out and invest heavily in China's network construction.

The leader was very interested and decided to arrange someone to talk to Zhao Ye in detail.

Two days later, relevant leaders and experts came to Wujiang Group.

After Zhao Ye exchanged pleasantries with the leaders, he led them to the conference room.

"China's request to access the Internet network has been denied again. Zhao Ye, I heard you mean that China does not necessarily have access to the Internet, why is that? Huo Xing, the leader of the leader, asked Minister Huo.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he thought about it and replied: "Because the main users of the current Internet network are Western countries, they are likely to carry out various actions that threaten network security, such as network attacks, network viruses, network fraud, and network espionage, so the main purpose of not accessing the Internet is to protect China's information security." In addition, right now, the root servers are controlled by the United States, which can shut down Internet services in other countries at will, thus threatening their network security! ”

After a pause, Zhao Ye added, "Of course, there are certain advantages to being connected to the Internet network and being able to connect with the world. If China's network must be connected to the Internet, then two conditions must be met, one is that the United States will give us a few root servers, and the other is to set up a firewall to protect the internal network from external attacks! ”

In the previous life, China did not have a root server, but there was a root mirror server. A mirror reflects what is in front of it, while a root mirror server reflects the root server and contains any processed information from the server that is updated in real time.

Many people believe that if China has a mirror server, it is not afraid of the United States disconnecting the network, and they can sit back and relax.

In fact, this is a wrong perception.

Applications for mirror servers in China and any other country must be approved by ICANN, a private company registered in the State of California.

Moreover, the main problem with the Chinese mirror server is that the secondary root mirror server in China is a mirror image of the root servers F (in the United States), I (in Sweden), K (in the Netherlands), and L (in the United States), which are 100% controlled by the root servers F, I, K, L. As a result, secondary root mirror servers in China are not secure. Secondary root mirror servers in other countries are similarly insecure because they are subject to the United States. The idea that "China has six secondary mirror servers and that China's Internet is no longer controlled by the United States" is completely wrong and very harmful.

Therefore, Zhao Ye hopes that China can build its own set of networks, and develop IPv6 networks in one step.

In the previous life, the development of IPv4 network was at the beginning, but with the increasing number of networking devices around the world, the number of IPv4 IP addresses is not enough, so IPv6 network.

A well-designed network needs to be forward-looking from the start, and the United States obviously did not expect the network to evolve so rapidly.

When the leaders heard this, they smiled bitterly one by one, and it was undoubtedly whimsical to want the United States to sell a few root servers.

So...... Can only China build its own network?

"Zhao Ye, in your opinion, it's best for us to build our own network?" Minister Huo asked.

Zhao Ye nodded and said, "Yes, Minister Huo, it's best for us to invest in building our own network." With the popularity of the Internet, a large number of Chinese will have access to the Internet, and most of them do not need to contact the Internet at all. ”

"So what is the difference between our network and the Qing Dynasty's seclusion?" At this point, another official questioned.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, closed off the country? It's not the same at all! Where did it all come to mind?

"We can build China's network first, and then connect with the countries that are friendly to us, so that our network can also become an international network, maybe call it the Internet!"

I'm sorry, but the World Wide Web is now invented by Wujiangji, so Zhao Ye called China's network the Internet, and there is nothing wrong with it.

At this time, the Internet in the United States was just like that, without the support of the World Wide Web and browsers, that is, a niche network, except for scholars, researchers and other professionals, ordinary people are not interested in playing at all.

Zhao Ye has decided that when China has not officially launched the Internet, it will not launch the World Wide Web, deliberately slowing down the development of the world's Internet.

China's Internet has not yet developed, do you still want to progress? Give Lao Tzu a stop!!

As soon as the leaders heard that they could connect the networks of friendly countries, they couldn't help but smile.

Yes, yes, this can be had!

"Zhao Ye, Wujiang Group plans to invest heavily in the development of that 'Internet'?" Huo Xingwei asked with a smile for the minister.

"Yes, Wujiang Group is willing to invest at least $10 billion to develop China's Internet. I have one condition, though! Zhao Ye replied with a smile, and then raised a finger.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.

They originally thought that Wujiang Group planned to invest hundreds of millions, but they didn't expect to invest at least $10 billion.

"Zhao Ye, is it necessary to invest so much in the development of the Internet?" Huo Xing frowned for the minister and asked, he always felt that spending $10 billion to invest in the Internet was a bit of a waste of money.

According to my plan, to build China's Internet, we must first invest in the research and development of more advanced optical fibers, followed by laying optical fiber networks across the country, and it is best to be able to achieve fiber-to-the-home, and then develop routers, servers, switches, modems and other related network equipment......"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked again, the price of optical fiber is very expensive, how much does it cost to lay optical fiber networks across the country, and it is best to do optical fiber to the home......

Zhao Ye saw the shocked expressions on the faces of the leaders, and couldn't help explaining: "Fiber to the home is the ultimate goal, for now, you can use telephone lines to replace optical fiber, but in this way, the network speed is relatively slow." ”

Huo Xingwei hurriedly said: "Slow down, slow down, step by step!" By the way, Zhao Ye, tell me about your conditions! ”

"My condition is very simple, that is, to enable Wujiang Group to be an ISP in China, that is, an Internet operator!" Zhao Ye said slowly, "And monopolize it for 20 years!" ”

With such a large investment, of course, Wujiang Group has to get a return.

The purpose of laying optical fiber is not to provide Internet access services, information services, and value-added services to the majority of users, so as to establish the monopoly advantage of Wujiang Group in China's Internet in one fell swoop.

Wujiang Group has a monopoly directly at the entrance of the Internet, how can other companies compete?

In addition, Wujiang Group is also engaged in Internet café chains, so how can other Internet companies compete in the future?

I'm afraid the hellish level of difficulty is not so difficult!

And this model can also be used in other countries, especially Southeast Asia and other countries, and there is no money to develop the network? It doesn't matter, Wujiang Group will help you, it's so benevolent!

Moreover, as an ISP Internet operator, the benefits are also huge.

In the future, if Wujiang Group can obtain a mobile communication license, it will be able to become a full-service operator like China Telecom in its previous life.

However, I am afraid that this is a bit difficult, the mobile communication market is monopolized by state-owned enterprises, and it will not be easy to issue licenses to private enterprises.

At present, taking advantage of the fact that the world is not very clear about the importance of the Internet, Zhao Ye does not hesitate to invest $10 billion in order to become an ISP Internet operator! In Zhao Ye's view, this is definitely a super bargain, provided that it can monopolize China's ISPs......

In 2000, AOL merged with Time Warner, with a transaction volume of $166 billion!

Huo Xing instinctively had to monopolize for 20 years for too long as a minister, and handed over the monopoly of the network to private enterprises, which is seriously inconsistent with the regulations. However, the problem is that if Wujiang Group invests $10 billion to build the Internet, if it does not have a monopoly, it may not be able to recover its costs, and it must not allow people to make a loss-making transaction.

Huo Xingwei couldn't help but feel a little nerve-wracking.

"Zhao Ye, the matter of Wujiang Group's monopoly on ISP still needs to be discussed and studied, and today's conversation will end here, and we will talk to you when we have a decision."

"Okay, no problem."

Zhao Ye nodded, got up and sent everyone away.

After returning to the company, Zhao Ye immediately notified the investment department to acquire Corning Company of the United States.

Corning is a leader in the optical fiber industry and has developed the most advanced fiber optic products in the field of fiberglass. However, none of the optical fiber products on the market satisfied Zhao Ye.

Wujiang Group is preparing to lay optical fiber on a large scale in China, and if the optical fiber is too rubbish, it will be a waste of money.

At this time, Zhao Ye thought that Corning was a well-known technology company in the United States, and was awarded the "National Technology" award by the President of the United States.

Will Borderless be able to acquire such an American company?

Zhao Ye decided to give it a try, if it doesn't work, forget it, it's a big deal to dig people to develop optical fibers, although China's development in the field of optical fiber is weaker than that of the United States and Japan, but it is not bad.

In August 1974, Academician Zhao Zisen proposed a quartz optical fiber communication technology scheme. In the absence of technology, equipment, and personnel, Zhao Zisen began China's optical fiber research. After nearly three years of hard work, China's first practical, short-wavelength and stepped quartz optical fiber was finally born. In 1977, at the "Industrial Daqing Exhibition of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications", Zhao Zisen successfully transmitted black and white TV signals through self-developed optical fibers. Optical fiber communication is listed as a national key research project. China's optical fiber communication technology has since entered the "fast lane".

In the past, "Wuhan China Optics Valley" had the largest production base of optical fibers, optical cables and optoelectronic devices in China, the largest research and development base of optical communication technology, and was a landmark brand for China to participate in international competition in the field of optoelectronic information.

Zhao Ye thought about it and decided to ask Academician Zhao Zisen to come over, and he would preside over the development of Boundless Optical Fiber! At the same time, you have to continue to poach people!

In addition, the optical glass and filter materials used in ZEISS products are primarily sourced from SCHOT's glass factory in Jena. After World War II, the SCHOTT Glass Works was split into two parts: one in Jena, East Germany, and one in Mainz, West Germany.

It is worth mentioning that East Zeiss wholly controls East Germany and Jena; West Zeiss, on the other hand, took full control of West Germany's Mainz.

Needless to say, the company that can provide glass to Zeiss is not a great technology.

Zhao Ye now thinks that after the acquisition of West Zeiss, he will be able to fully control the SCHOTJENA glass factory, and with the technology of the SCHOTJENA glass factory, coupled with the optical fiber experts hired by himself, he may not be able to develop advanced optical fibers!

In fact, SCHOTT Jena's glass plant is more technologically advanced than Corning's, but at this stage the company is not involved in the fiber optic industry.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wujiang Group tried to make a takeover offer to Corning, but was directly rejected by the other party.

Academician Zhao Zisen also received an invitation from Wujiang Group at this time to serve as the chief engineer of Wujiang Optical Fiber.

"Academician Zhao, the conditions for domestic research on optical fiber are too poor, as long as you can come to Wujiang Group, we can provide you with the best research equipment and a large number of talents!" Said the person who went to invite him.

Academician Zhao Zisen heard this, the sadness in his heart is indescribable, he has been engaged in optical fiber research for one or two decades, the conditions are extremely difficult, and now there is finally a company willing to invest heavily in the field of optical fiber!

Academician Zhao Zisen's biggest dream is to hope that China's optical fiber technology can catch up with Western countries as soon as possible, so he agreed to the invitation of Wujiang Group very happily, and said that he would call a group of friends who are researching in the field of optical fiber, and gather the strength of the whole country to promote the development of China's optoelectronic information industry!

"Academician Zhao Zisen, China is blessed to have you! I believe that China's optical fiber will definitely catch up with Western countries, or even surpass them! ”

A few days later, Academician Zhao Zisen came to Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye personally came forward to welcome the "father of China's optical fiber".

"Academician Zhao Zisen, I'm glad you can join Wujiang Group!" Zhao Ye warmly held Academician Zhao Zisen's hand and said.

Academician Zhao Zisen smiled kindly: "It is my honor to be able to join Wujiang Group!" ”

The two chatted as they walked.

At this time, Zhao Ye proposed the concept of full-wave optical fiber to Academician Zhao Zisen, that is, low-water peak single-mode optical fiber G.652C.

However, as soon as Academician Zhao Zisen heard it, he said that it was extremely difficult.

This technology was introduced by Lucent in 1998, and then Corning developed low-water peak fiber in 2001, and this technology was quickly popularized around the world.

"Academician Zhao Zisen, I know this is difficult, but when the time comes, there will be many people who will cooperate with you in research, including employees from Corning, Lucent, Philips, NTT, Sumitomo, and Furukawa. The company is currently organizing people to dig people, and it must be able to dig up a lot of engineers! Oh, and East Germany, Jena, which supplies glass to East Zeiss, will also be involved in the development of optical fibers! ”

When Zhao Zisen heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, this is why the scientific research ability of Wujiang Group is so strong, in order to develop products, he does not hesitate to use a lot of financial resources to recruit talents into the hands of Wujiang.

It would be nice if other domestic enterprises had this spirit.

A week later, Zhao Ye did not wait for Huo Xing's notice as minister, but the Wujiang Optical Fiber project had also been launched, and 250 million US dollars were directly invested in research and development.

Until qualified optical fibers are successfully developed, Wujiang will not lay optical fibers on a large scale.

During this period, there was ample time for Wujiang Group to complete the development of network servers, routers, switches, optical modems, repeaters, hubs, bridges, gateways and other Internet equipment and various protocols.

The other is to establish a chain of Internet cafes, and once the optical fiber is laid in the future, these Internet cafes can be connected to the Internet, so that China can suddenly become the country with the largest number of Internet users.

Moreover, Zhao Ye feels that with the credibility of Wujiang Group among the Chinese people, if it develops the e-commerce industry, it will definitely win the trust of users, and perhaps the development speed of China's e-commerce industry will far exceed that of the United States.

By March 1990, 2,500 Internet cafes had been renovated nationwide, and the first batch of Internet cafes were basically distributed in densely populated urban areas, with an average of 80 computers per Internet café.

A steady stream of Shenzhou computers are sent to all parts of the country from the Shenzhen Wujiang PC manufacturing factory.

For the first time, the upcoming release of Shenzhou Computer will be presented to you in the form of a dedicated computer for Internet cafes.

Zhao Ye has set the official release time of Shenzhou Computer - April 1st, just when the Western world celebrates April Fool's Day, give them a surprise.

"Liu Yinyin, remember, when Shenzhou Computer was released, 100 computers were given to all colleges and universities across the country, and I want domestic college students to learn to use the HarmonyOS operating system!" Zhao Ye suddenly thought of something, and instructed Liu Yinyin beside him.

At present, the number of domestic universities is not large, only 368 universities, even if each university sends 100 computers, only 36,800 computers. The manufacturing cost of each computer is less than 2,000 yuan, that is, the cost of donating computers has not exceeded 100 million yuan.

You can also earn a good name without paying for it!
