PHS refers to the wireless local phone mobile phone, using small cell technology, through the small cell base station to achieve wireless coverage, the user terminal 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, in other words, it is equivalent to the fixed phone like a mobile phone to carry around, that is, the convenience of owning a mobile phone, and there is no expensive price of mobile phone.

PHS was first launched into the market in 1996 by UTStarcom, and once launched, it immediately triggered a hot market, and many media called it a low-cost "mobile phone", and the Ministry of Information Industry also positioned it as a "supplement and extension of fixed telephones".

Compared with the price of thousands of yuan for mobile phones, the price of PHS is only five or six hundred yuan.

In addition to the price of the phone, its tariff standard is also much lower than that of mobile phones, which is comparable to local calls and is charged in one direction.

Generally, more than 20 yuan per month is enough, which is about one-third of the mobile phone.

It can be said that it is the perfect replacement for mobile phones!

Of course, PHS also has many disadvantages, such as poor signal, such as it can only be used locally, cannot make long-distance calls, and cannot be used in other places.

But compared to the low price, none of this is a problem.

Many high-end people are a mobile phone and a PHS.

In the face of China's huge middle and low market groups, PHS has ushered in explosive growth since 2001, which once caused the stock prices of China Mobile and China Unicom to plummet, until the Minister of Information Industry came forward to support mobile phones, and only survived the crisis.

It is now 2002, and it is the time when the development of PHS is in full swing, which can be described as a hard to find!

Liang Jiangtao asked Xiong Luning, in Ningshui County, it costs more than 700 yuan to buy a PHS! And if you can't get it in stock, you have to wait for a long time!

Xiong Luning is his hair younger, and his family has opened a PHS shop.

Liang Jiangtao asked if he had a batch of goods in his hand, could Xiong Luning accept it?

Xiong Luning immediately said of course he can, the most difficult thing to do now is the goods, if there is, he will collect it at a high price, from three hundred to five hundred, of course, it depends on the brand and quality of the machine.

And the cost of the machine is very low!

Liang Jiangtao estimates that it is dozens of yuan!

Yes, selling it for dozens or hundreds of dollars is also an absolute profit!

In fact, people in this era have a natural admiration and awe for electronic products, because they don't understand, they always think that expensive is what they should be.

Not only mobile phones, PHS, all household appliances are ridiculously expensive, TVs are often thousands, plasma color TVs are tens of thousands.

If you know that a 55-inch Xiaomi color TV will only be two or three thousand in the future, you will definitely drop your jaw.

For people in 2023, the mystery and aura of electronics have long since receded.

Liang Jiangtao still knows Xiong Luning's character very well, he is loyal and honest, and there is no problem doing business with him.

The following thing is very simple, get a batch of goods, hand them over to Xiong Luning to sell, and sit on the price difference, isn't it lying to make money?

Where does the goods come from?

Du Ye, of course!

Du Ye is in this business, as long as he goes to Guangcheng in eastern Guangdong to ask him for help, there is absolutely no problem!

He wants to get the reserve price as much as possible, and in the north of Huaqiangbei, Pengcheng, he can definitely achieve his goal.

It is not only close to Guancheng, the country's largest electronic product production factory, but also close to Hong Kong Island, and some cheap machines from abroad will also pour in!

And according to the development trend of the information industry, after 2006, with the decline in mobile phone prices and tariffs, PHS development will encounter Waterloo, a few years later, will be completely withdrawn from the market.

Some prescient companies, such as Huawei, should have seen this trend at this time, and are vigorously clearing their warehouses to destock and get off as soon as possible.

Therefore, Liang Jiangtao is very confident in getting a batch of bargains.

This will be his first pot of gold.

In order to save money, Liang Jiangtao did not buy a sleeper, but bought a hard seat.

The nearly 20-hour drive didn't torture him to death, and the crowds, all kinds of strange smells, dirty toilets, and occasional thefts reminded him that it was 2002.

finally got off the car, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and someone was waiting for him with a sign at the exit of the station, it was the person sent by Du Ye to pick him up.

A white crown pulled him to the White Swan Hotel.

The White Swan Hotel is located in Baietan, Shamian, Guangcheng City, Guangdong Province, which was built by the patriotic tycoon Fok Yingdong of Hong Kong Island and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, and was jointly designed by China's famous architectural design master She Jinnan and Mo Bozhi, the hotel opened in 1983, is China's first Sino-foreign cooperation of five-star hotels, and is also the façade of Guangzhou.

Inviting Liang Jiangtao to dinner here not only shows Du Ye's strength, but also shows the importance he attaches to Liang Jiangtao.

Liang Jiangtao entered the private room, saw Du Ye in a suit and leather shoes get up from the sofa, walked over quickly and gave him a big hug, and said, "Old Liang, you finally came to me!" ”

His Mandarin has a bit of a big tongue though.

Liang Jiangtao smiled and gave Du Ye a punch: "I didn't think that I hadn't seen you for a few years, and you had become five or six people!" ”

"What do you know, I'm Mr. Du now, and hundreds of people under my command have dinner with me!"

"Come, let me introduce you, these are my brothers, Mr. Wang, Brother Li, Qiang Zai! This is my best brother in college, Liang Jiangtao, who specially came to see me from Handong! Du Ye introduced.

Liang Jiangtao smiled and shook hands with several people.

The private room is really luxurious, and the scenery of the Pearl River is outside the window.

A table of food is full of delicious food, all kinds of fresh seafood, lobster, shark fin, abalone, Buddha jumping over the wall....... It wasn't the waiter who introduced Liang Jiangtao who really didn't know what to eat, and he was breathtaking, it really meant that Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

In his previous life, he lived to be in his forties, and he had never eaten such a luxurious banquet, and he felt a little wasted.

After eating, Du Ye sent the others away, and Liang Jiangtao went to take a bath and massage (of course, they are all regular), after finishing things, the two of them were lying in the private room in pajamas, Du Ye lit a Huazi, spit out a smoke ring, and said: "Ah Tao, I heard that you were admitted to the Organization Department of the Handong Provincial Party Committee?" ”

"You already know?" Liang Jiangtao said in surprise.

"Can this be hidden? What about so many of our classmates, it's good that you don't tell me now, do you treat me as a brother? Du Ye complained.

"Am I not here? I was about to tell you. ”

"Hey, my mood is complicated, it stands to reason that after entering such a unit, you are destined to have a bright future in the future, I should be happy for you, but I have a sense of loss in my heart, do you know why?"
