Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

The next day, Zhao Ye and others moved into the Mahler Villa.

Villa Mahler is like the "Princess Castle" in fairy tales, covering an area of ​​more than 5000 square meters and a garden area of ​​nearly square meters. Norwegian-style spire, Gothic roof, Chinese-style glazed tiles, dark brown Taishan tiles. There is a pair of stone lions placed at the door like a traditional Chinese mansion, and the garden is planted with cypress, cedar and other precious flowers and trees. The interior is decorated like a luxury cruise ship, with ship-shaped windows and seaweed-patterned floors.

In the past life, if you wanted to buy such a large villa, the price would have exceeded 10 billion yuan, which would probably be far more than that.

Zhao Ye sat under the shade of a tree, drinking a small drink, blowing the summer wind, and was filled with emotion.

There are still many old houses like Mahler Villa in Shanghai, and their value increases every year.

If you buy these old houses now, even if you sell them in the future, you will definitely make a lot of money...

……

Wujiang Group, Communications Division.

"Boss, great breakthroughs have been made in the research on Chinese display BB machines. The decoder, an important part of the BB machine, can decode the signal from the base station into Chinese characters and then display them on the monitor!"

"In addition, it can also display English letters."

Lu Jia, head of the Communications Division, said.

Zhao Ye also rushed here because he received the news.

He looked at the experimental table, and the words "Wujiang Group Wujiang" appeared on the LCD screen of the BB machine, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

The progress of the Communications Division exceeded his imagination.

"It's very good. We should perfect it as soon as possible and then achieve mass production!" Zhao Ye said.

At present, the digital BB machine market is highly competitive. There are many BB machine brands on the market such as Imagine, Motorola, Ericsson, Panasonic, Sony, Hitachi, and Sharp.

As the earliest digital BB machine brand, Imagine-BB machine currently occupies the largest market share, but only 34.1% has been cannibalized by other brands.

Once released, the Chinese display BB camera will definitely be able to capture the market.

It is said to be a Chinese display BB machine, but in fact it can display English letters and numbers. There is absolutely no problem in selling Chinese-display BB cameras to English-speaking countries.

Of course, for languages ​​in other countries, such as Japanese, you only need to develop corresponding decoder software, but technically, it is almost the same, just slightly different.

However, at present, paging stations are basically manual paging stations.

As the number of BB machine users increases, manual paging will become too busy.

Automatic paging requires the development of program-controlled switches.

Moreover, the future development direction of Han display BB machines is two-way Han display BB machines.

As for the two-way Chinese display BB machine, what does it mean? It's very simple, you can send text messages to another BB machine through this BB machine.

In a previous life, Motorola developed this kind of two-way Han display BB machine, which became very popular in China. However, the product launch was a little late.

BB machines were already a thing of the past at that time, and were slowly replaced by mobile phones.

If a two-way Chinese display BB machine can be developed early, this product will definitely become popular all over the world and make a lot of money.

Chinese people like to send text messages, and foreigners also like to send emails.

It’s difficult even if the two-way Chinese display BB machine is not popular.

However, before developing a two-way Chinese display BB machine, a program-controlled switch needs to be developed first to realize the automatic paging function of the paging station.

Later, Zhao Ye called the directors of the communications division to the office for a meeting.

Zhao Ye first praised the work of the Communications Division, and then mentioned the two-way Chinese display BB machine and program-controlled switch.

"To develop a two-way Chinese display BB machine, you must first develop a program-controlled switch! Moreover, the program-controlled switch is not only used for automatic paging of the BB machine, but also for making calls and automatically dialing the phone number."

Although there are few mobile phone users in China, there are many fixed-line telephones. Public institutions, governments, scientific research institutions, schools, private enterprises, etc. use a lot of fixed-line telephones, so a large number of program-controlled switches need to be used.

Huawei started out by making program-controlled switches. In 1990, Huawei began to develop program-controlled small switches with more than a dozen employees. In 1992, the company's sales exceeded RMB 1 million, and in 1994, sales reached RMB 8 million.

It can be seen that the domestic communications market is still very huge.

It's only 1986. Wujiang was making program-controlled switches much earlier than Huawei, and technically, it was not comparable to Huawei at this time.

In the conference room, Zhao Ye ordered the Communications Division to set up a program-controlled switch development team with a tentative number of 25 people.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ye thought to himself that since Wujiang Group wanted to take a share of the communications market, it might as well lay out the plan at once.

After a pause, he added: "Mobile phones are the future communication trend. BB phones will be eliminated sooner or later. We must prepare early and take precautions. The Communications Division will allocate some people to set up a mobile phone development team. The more people, the better!"

"In addition, we also need to study communication network standards, that is, wireless technology standards. Europe is now studying GSM. Although this communication technology is good, I am more optimistic about another communication technology!"

Zhao Ye said, walking on the stage, there was a black block in this small conference room. Zhao Ye took out a pen and wrote the words "Code Division Multiple Access", which is CDMA, on the blackboard.

In the previous life, Qualcomm had almost a monopoly in the CDMA field, so in the smartphone market, there was the famous "Qualcomm Tax", which was quite overbearing. Every mobile phone brand in the world had to pay the "Qualcomm Tax", even Apple. Companies are no exception.

Qualcomm uses its large number of patents in communications to sell its own chip packages and requires major manufacturers to pay 5% of the price of the entire machine.

The profits of many mobile phone manufacturers are less than 5%. Qualcomm makes more money than other mobile phone companies. Who can bear this? Chun Chun is working for Qualcomm.

Qualcomm was founded in 1985. It has not yet been involved in CDMA technology, but is working on other products. It was not until 1989 that it challenged the traditional wireless technology standards and then launched code division multiple access (CDMA) technology - its The advent of CDMA permanently changed the face of global wireless communications and became the industry standard in 1993. By 1999, the International Telecommunications Union selected CDMA as the technology behind 3G.

If CDMA technology had not emerged relatively slowly, Europe's GSM would have been no match.

Anyway, in this life, Zhao Ye wants to take CDMA into his pocket, and he will also learn from Qualcomm and implement a "borderless tax".

As long as Wujiang develops CDMA technology early, China's communications department will definitely choose Wujiang CDMA as the second, third and fourth generation mobile communication standard.

If you can go abroad, it will naturally be even better.

At this time, Zhao Ye was explaining to his employees what CDMA code division multiple access technology was.

Currently, only Zhao Ye is familiar with this technology. If it is not explained clearly to them, they will have no idea how to develop it.

However, developing CDMA is quite difficult. There should not be any big progress in a short period of time, unless Zhao Ye takes them to study CDMA together all day long.

But Zhao Ye had other things to do and didn't have so much time. In addition, CDMA technology is too advanced and may not be suitable for China.

It is said that one step ahead is a martyr, and half a step ahead is a pioneer.

It would be great if Wujiang Group was half a step ahead.

The development of CDMA technology is for the future.

At present, there is actually another mobile communication technology that is more suitable for China's national conditions, and that is PHS.

PHS technology is very popular not only in China, but also in many countries.

Because PHS uses a micro-cell technology, the cost is low and it is more suitable for densely populated cities.

A GSM mobile phone normally costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan; a PHS mobile phone costs several thousand.

In addition, PHS has low power consumption, minimal electromagnetic wave radiation, and is less harmful to human body radiation. It is loved by some special groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and medical personnel. And it has long standby time and saves power. After charging once, the standby time can reach 10 days, eliminating the trouble of frequent charging. The call quality of PHS is comparable to that of fixed-line calls within the network coverage; unlike mobile phone wireless Internet access shared by multiple people, PHS Internet access can exclusively enjoy 64/128Kbps bandwidth.

In addition, PHS does not require a mobile license. In the previous life, China Telecom and China Netcom did not have mobile licenses, so they chose PHS and grabbed a large number of users before 3G.

Of course, the shortcomings of PHS are also very obvious, otherwise it would not be replaced in the future.

There are two main disadvantages. The first is that it cannot roam. PHS cannot roam across the country like a mobile phone, so it can only be a "supplement and extension of fixed lines". There is always a functional gap with mobile phones.

Second, poor coverage. Generally limited to urban areas, the signal is poor; there are few base stations, and calls are not smooth in some parts of the city, and it is even impossible to make calls in the event of a power outage.

However, as far as the current situation in China is concerned, it is already good to have a PHS, so what else is needed for a "bicycle"?

Before I knew it, it was almost time to get off work.

Zhao Ye talked a lot about CDMA technology today. As for PHS technology, he plans to talk about it in a few days.

So many technologies were launched at once, including two-way Chinese display BB machines, program-controlled switches, mobile phones, cdma and PHS. The manpower of Wujiang Communications Division is obviously insufficient.

Wujiang Group had no choice but to continue to advertise in newspapers and TV to recruit people, and at the same time, it also asked foreign headhunters to recruit some talents to work in China.

However, at this time, there are not many talents willing to work in China.

Many students studying in the United States never want to come back once they arrive in the United States.

Zhao Ye was deeply ashamed.

Faced with an increasingly urgent talent gap.

Zhao Ye felt it was necessary to take action...
