Wealth

February 2nd of the sixth year. The old Smongkang company's imprisonment in the United States has aroused great attention from the research and development department of Fan's Jie Gan frozen field machine.

Since the mid-1990s, with the popularization of mobile phones, the mobile communications industry has begun to flourish. The two major mobile service providers, China Mobile and China Unicom, are controlling this market. They make a lot of money. Relatively speaking, China Telecom, the industry leader in the past, was unable to get a share of the pie because it could only engage in fixed-line telephone services.

At this time, Wu Ying, a Chinese student who had worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States, saw a business opportunity. He introduced a Japanese-invented wireless technology called mobile local call to China.

This technology can use the existing fixed telephone network to provide wireless communication services in a wireless access manner.

Its biggest weakness is the poor signal, and sometimes even poor listening in the house, so in Japan, where it was invented, this is a marginal technology that was abandoned. But in China, it has become a life-saving straw for China Telecom, because with this technology, it can enter the mobile telecom market in a curve. The high call service fees of the two major mobile service providers undoubtedly provide a huge profit space for China Telecom's entry.

The Ganstarcom company established by Wu Ying became the equipment supplier of the Gang project, and he named this mobile phone PHS. December 1997. The first PHS wireless local call pilot was opened in Yuhang City, Xijiang Province.

Local consumers were told that the call fee for PHS is two cents for three minutes, while the Long mobile phone of China Mobile or China Unicom is five cents a minute. The price difference is 7.5 times. In addition, there is no charge for incoming calls. The price gap between PHS and Ru is about ten times.

In just three months, the number of PHS users in Yuhang has caught up with the combined users of China Mobile and China Unicom. PHS soon spread throughout Xijiang, and was quickly regarded by China Telecom as the only magic weapon for grabbing mobile services.

An edge technology accidentally detonated a telecommunications war between monopoly companies in China. China Telecom promoted Linktone in hundreds of cities across the country at the same time, while mobile service providers everywhere were sniping on the entry of PHS, while continuing to report urgently. Ministry of Information Industry.

The Ministry of Information Industry also felt dilemma. It announced that PHS was a backward technology and would restrict its development across the country. Later it declared that after investigation, PHS is a supplement and extension of fixed telephones and that China Telecom is conditionally allowed to engage in this business.

The most sensational news occurred this year in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. Lanzhou Telecom gave PHS a prefix of the bureau number, while China Mobile in Lanzhou refused to admit this number that was not approved by the Ministry of Information Industry and refused to let it enter the mobile phone. net.

Lanzhou Telecom, which has always been bullish, simply broke the connection between the entire mobile network and the fixed telecommunications network. Hundreds of thousands of users were unable to contact their mobile phones and fixed phones for tens of hours, which led to a major accident that made people laugh.

Except for a few large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. The full line of Lingtong's business has been opened, with more than 10 million users.

China Telecom's strong promotion of PHS. Naturally, equipment supply Dakang has achieved amazing growth. After Dakang's listing in the United States, the company has drawn a perfect growth curve, and its performance has exceeded Wall Street's expectations, even during the Nasdaq stock market crash. Its share price has never been lower than twenty dollars. It is the most outstanding Chinese stock. Starcom's market value exceeded 26 billion when its market value was at its highest.

After Fan Wuyao returned to the capital, he heard people talk about this issue. He probably felt a little envious of the strong launch of PHS. Dad Fan Heng also mentioned this incident during dinner, saying that the Ministry of Information Industry had a lot to do with it. Embarrassed, after all, palms and backs of hands are all meat. It is unlikely that you will let China Mobile and China Unicom take up all the good things. Let China Telecom starve to death, right?

"The survival of the fittest," Fan Wubing said, "The biggest problem at the moment is not that the price of mobile phones is too high, but the reason for the high mobile costs. It is precisely because of the high profits of mobile phone bills that we have The internal demand for PHS to enter the Chinese market is prevalent. Once the cost drops, there is naturally no market for the backward technology. This is also an inevitable market self-selection."

"Your brainstorming is inclined to develop the PHS network?" Fan Heng asked. He now attaches great importance to his son's opinions.

"Always respect the market's choice." Fan Wubing did not say too clearly.

In fact, for something like PHS, some people call it Weiwaicao, which means that this thing is small, inoperable and unreasonable, and most people pick it up. I always "hey" twice, and then realized that I couldn't hear what the other party was talking about, so I called out the word "grass" again.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, from the practical use of Dangfeng, PHS does have many problems.

The basic condition for it to survive is the economy of telephone charges. PHS uses the same rate standard as fixed-line phones, and implements one-way charging. Enjoy the convenience of a local mobile phone at the price of a fixed line. Of course it can attract many people. Moreover, the PHS power consumption electromagnetic wave radiator does not have much radiation hazard to the human body, and it is loved by some special groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, and medical staff.

Moreover, the PHS consumes less power and has a long standby time. The standby time can be up to ten days after charging once, which saves the trouble of frequent charging. Therefore, there are indeed many people who use PHS, and there are even many people who do not have a great demand for mobile phone services. The mobile phone used before was also replaced by PHS. First, save money, second, save trouble, even a little flaw is tolerable.

But in general, PHS is a product of a special period. It was also the helpless move of China Telecom and China Netcom because they did not have a mobile license, but they seized a large number of users for the operators on the eve of Lunqian.

Lingtong has many disadvantages. Few auxiliary functions. At present, short messages can only be exchanged between PHSs, and many fashionable new functions such as Internet browsing and mobile games are not available. There is also poor network coverage, which is generally limited to urban areas, with poor signal, few base stations, poor communication in some parts of the city, and inability to make calls in the event of a power outage.

If it is in a car, it is basically unusable, because once the speed exceeds forty kilometers. The call is intermittent. Although Japan is still improving the PHS technology, after the introduction of the domestic one, it basically no longer develops, which also caused the problem that the follow-up functions cannot keep up.

The most important point is that PHS cannot roam the country like a mobile phone, so it can only supplement and extend fixed-line phones, and there is always a considerable gap in functionality from mobile phones.

Rebirth from a previous life. Cannon is not diseased, but also has a smart eye. how to say. (Gu Ru said there is an order) to sing in the song town. Once you enter that kind of relatively airtight environment, the PHS will be completely blocked. If there is nothing wrong, it is equivalent to automatically shutting down. If there is something, the impact will be great. Yes, there is no mobile phone to facilitate insurance.

"Under the current conditions, considering the emergence of PHS from the aspect of cost performance, many people with poor spending power have found a way out." Fan Wuyao explained to his father Fan Heng, "Although it is a backward technology, but The technology provided by domestic mobile operators is actually relatively backward technology. Not only is it backward, but also expensive. This extreme monopoly makes enterprises have no interest in in-depth research and development. In the long run, the technical level of China Mobile Communications will be Reduced to a very scary level. From this aspect, the addition of PHS can enable telecommunications to carve up a part of the mobile communication market without a mobile business license on the The reduction of telephone communication costs is still very good for reducing the degree of monopoly." Fan Heng nodded and agreed, "In fact, the people in the Ministry of Information Industry have more headaches. After all, they want to get them to break the monopoly of the industry. The risk to be taken is too great, and if the company itself has to work around there, the effect will be much better.

Fan Wubing feels ashamed of this. "At a high position, he doesn't want to make progress. He has decision-making power in his hands but dare not use it. He knows that the industry monopoly is very harmful, but he just wants to let it go. Let me go and retire peacefully. There are too many people like this in the senior management."

Logically speaking, the faint and stubborn leadership is the most beneficial for a chaebol like Fan Wubing, but Fan Wubing is a super chaebol. However, the experience of civilians in his previous life made him understand many things, the difficulties of ordinary people, and how much pain the leaders of these corpse positions have brought to the ordinary people. Therefore, it is even harder for him to tolerate job-students who take high salaries and damage the rights of citizens.

Fan Heng is also not willing to theism at this time. After all, his role is limited. "Why didn't your Fan Investment Group get involved in the PHS business? I heard that this piece of profit is not profitable."

Fan Wubing shook his head and denied, "The PHS is only a transitional product, and it is inherently insufficient. Our Fan Investment Group is still focused on mobile phone R&D and production, and now the prices of major components have dropped to an alarming level. Our profits are very lucrative. The scale of tens of billions of annual revenues is already very satisfactory."

Since the mobile phone R&D department of Fan Investment Group obtained the R&D technical capabilities of the underlying new products, Fan’s mobile phone cost has been greatly reduced. At present, the cost of a single ordinary mobile phone has been reduced to less than two hundred yuan, but the price is low. Above 1,000 yuan, it can be said to be an absolute huge profit, especially the price advantage of high-end products is also reflected. The sales of high-end mobile phones that are more suitable for the Chinese aesthetic concept are very good, and the profits are amazing.

"In fact, to make money is to make money from those who are rich. Once our business of customizing mobile phones for the rich is launched, the demand for mobile phones costing millions of dollars can be said to be in short supply. The annual sales revenue in this area exceeds Billions of dollars." Fan Wubing thought of this, and could not help but said to his father Fan Heng with some emotion, "With the most advanced chips, the most exquisite craftsmanship, and the valuable materials, we have built The premium mobile phone series that come out are not so much a commodity as a market-oriented art. Such products are naturally popular among the wealthy at home and abroad."

"There are more and more rich people, Fan Hyung couldn't help sighing after listening.

"It should be said that the phenomenon of polarization is getting more and more serious," Fan Wuyao replied, "Whether it is viewed from abroad or at home, the polarization is now intensified. The wealthy man with a net worth of more than ten billion US dollars. The number is increasing, and the domestic embezzlement of state-owned assets is also increasing. This is an era of **** wealth creation. On the premise of sacrificing the interests of most people, countless new aristocratic classes are born every day." Fan Heng frowned and said.

In fact, Fan Heng himself feels a little depressed. Yes, in the past few years, the country’s wealth has indeed increased a lot, and the people’s living standards have indeed improved a lot, but from the perspective of the increase in per capita income. . There are just some problems. The reform of state-owned enterprises is also full of difficulties. Although many companies have completed their restructuring ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, employees are often laid off as victims. The leadership has taken control at a very low cost. Enterprises have become new large shareholders, and employees have become migrant workers without exception.

Fan Heng doesn't think that such reforms are reforms in his ideals, and the result now looks more like a resource plunder during the enclosure movement, but this time it was carried out in the name of reform.

Many people, in a short period of time. Through the process of legal confirmation, the empty glove white wolf immediately possessed astonishing wealth as astronomical, while more people became insecure in this seemingly fair process. He even lost the source of life and was forced to push to the society to solve life problems on his own.

With such a huge contrast, even Fan Heng, who is in contact with high-level state-owned enterprise reforms every day, will feel worried.

But he is also powerless to change all of this. Because what he is facing is an extremely large interest group, which cannot be adapted by one person, several people, or even a group.

Even if Fan Wuyao can control so many companies, so many funds, and so many assets, he is only a wealthy man with considerable influence. If you want to talk about confronting this interest group, then Wu It's different from a praying man's arm as a car.

In the face of pure interest disputes, any righteousness, morality, integrity, and law are all nonsense.

.

In the face of all this, even Fan Wuyi and Fan Xiang, who stand at the highest level of wealth and power and retain their conscience, can only shout something like those who use PHS. !
