"Brother Wu, do you want to involve terminal equipment?" Wu Ying couldn't help asking.
Wu Nianzu nodded generously: "I'm not hiding it from Brother Eagle, I have this idea. Brother Eagle, do you have any suggestions?"
After thinking about it, Wu Ying said: "Generally speaking, manufacturers of communication equipment and systems will not be distracted from terminal equipment unless they are really top-notch and have all the industry chains.
On the other hand, I am also worried about causing downstream concerns.”
Then Wu Ying gave an example:
"For example, Huawei started out as a product that is used for communication equipment and is currently strong in China. However, Ren Zhengfei repeatedly emphasized at Huawei that Huawei is determined to be impossible for mobile phone equipment. Whoever mentions this matter will be laid off!
As a equipment service provider that provides communication technology to operators, in order to reassure operators, Ren Zhengfei promised that Huawei would not enter the field of communication consumer goods.
Making mobile phones is a taboo topic within Huawei, and everyone in the industry knows it.”
"So that's the case!" Wu Nianzucheng suddenly realized.
However, Wu Nianzu laughed in his heart, "Isn't the old boy Ren still unable to escape the law of true fragrance in the end?"
For example, Xiao Lingtong is a matter that he is determined not to do now, and will he still do it in a few years?
He said he would not make a mobile phone, and he became the number one domestic product in more than ten years later.
There are also the promises that Huawei promised not to enter the new energy vehicle market and only provide technical support. It would be fine if you listen, that is, to fool Volkswagen.
The history of Ren Zhengfei's "really fragrant" several times is there. Whoever takes his words seriously in the industry is a fool!
Wu Nianzu picked up the wine and toasted the two of them again, and said with a smile:
"I am extremely optimistic about Xiao Lingtong's prospects. With the help of two brothers, I believe this cooperation will be successful!"
However, Wu Nianzu turned around and said, "But there is a little bit of concern."
"Brother Azu, you might as well say something." Mr. Wang stretched out his hand and said.
"We all know that Xiaoling is a landline network, but for the public, Xiaolingtong that can be carried with you is a mobile phone.
How to locate Xiao Lingtong?”
Then Wu Nianzu reached out and pointed:
"The key is, what do the above think?
Will Xiaolingtong be classified as a mobile service? Will this Xiaolingtong business of Telecom be dismantled again at that time?"
Mr. Wang didn't make a promise directly, but pondered for a while and said:
"Brother Azu, the superiors don't let us telecom do mobile business, but we don't want to kill them all. To put it bluntly, if we don't let us telecom do it, who can fight the split mobile battle?
Just rely on China Unicom?
It’s not that I look down on them, China Unicom is really not good!”
After hearing this, Wu Nianzu thought about it. Judging from his previous life experience, Mr. Wang was really right.
For example, telecommunications and mobile are split. Even after they are split, relying on the demographic dividend, the two major companies are developing extremely rapidly in their respective fields, especially mobile, which is simply expanding rapidly and quickly becomes a giant.
At the beginning, China Unicom specifically supported China Unicom, whether it was paging services or wireless mobile services, China Unicom could do it without any restrictions, obviously to prevent mobile companies from forming a monopoly again.
But China Unicom is not good at all. No matter how much support it is, it cannot overcome the mobile market and cannot stop the monopoly formed by mobile in the mobile market.
Unicom is simply a brother in front of Mobile. In the end, it was impossible to see that it was too late, and it still had to rely on telecom.
In 2008, the top leaders made Telecom again start mobile services, which made the mobile business market competitive.
It was also after the telecommunications entered the market that the consultation fees in the mobile market were reduced again and again, which made the country want to see the benefit of the people.
Then Mr. Wang continued: "I admit that telecommunications were too monopoly in the past, and some of them were very bad, and even I couldn't stand it.
But think about it, breaking the monopoly is only a means, not an end.
The result that we want to see above is to break the monopoly, make the market full of competitiveness and vitality, and let the people enjoy benefits.
When it comes to affordability, what can compare to Xiaolingtong?
The phone bill is only one-third of the mobile phone bill, and it is a one-way charge, and terminal communication devices are much cheaper than mobile phones.
Although there are technologies that are so beneficial to the people, we Telecom has spent our efforts to inspect and introduce them, so why don’t we use them?
Could it be that our telecommunications are raised by our stepmother?”
Wu Nianzu still agrees with Mr. Wang’s words. Although Xiaolingtong’s technology is backward, it is undoubtedly in line with the current national conditions of China.
Moreover, Mr. Wang caught the point and said that I am seeking benefits for the people. With this, Telecom can stand it!
Then Mr. Wang promised loudly:
"Brother Azu, don't worry, I promise you that even if we make trouble in the ministries and commissions, our telecommunications will not let Xiao Lingtong be banned!"
These senior telecom executives have all their connections and backgrounds. If they really involve such critical moments, they can make a big fuss even if they are ignored. Moreover, there is still reason this time, so they will definitely be able to withstand it!
"Haha, with Brother Wang, you said this, then I feel at 100% at ease and can rest assured!" Wu Nianzu laughed.
Wu Nianzu continued to ask: "Brother Wang, then how should Xiao Lingtong be classified in the country?"
When Mr. Wang and Wu Ying looked at each other and smiled. It was obvious that they had already thought of a response plan before.
Wu Ying explained with a smile:
"Brother Azu, since Xiao Lingtong uses a landline network, we will strive to classify it as a landline communication technology, rather than a mobile communication technology.
Even if there is a dispute, it can be positioned as a "replenishment and extension of landline telephones", thus avoiding the national regulation of mobile technology and equipment."
Wu Nianzu suddenly realized when he heard this, and this matched his impression of his previous life.
In fact, the reason why Wu Nianzu specifically confirmed to Mr. Wang is that the domestic regulation on mobile phone production is very strict.
In 1993, Nanjing Panda independently developed the first domestic mobile phone, and sold more than 20,000 units that year, achieving a breakthrough in zero domestic mobile phones.
However, domestic mobile phones had a market share of only 1% that year.
Mobile phones in this era are a new type of technology industry, but this big fat piece of meat is eaten by foreigners, which is unacceptable.
Therefore, the information industry department specially issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Mobile Communications Industry".
If you want to produce mobile phones, you must first pass the official approval, and the approved foreign-invested enterprises must ship 60% of the mobile phones to markets outside China for sale.
The meaning is very simple. You can build factories in the mainland, but you must get a part of the mobile phone you make to sell abroad. The government will give away a certain market share and living space for domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
For Wu Nianzu, on the one hand, it is very difficult to obtain a mobile phone production license just by obtaining this approval. Now the country is still strict in handling this. You have to review your various qualifications and technical reserves, which is laborious. Wu Nianzu has no time to delay.
On the other hand, even if you get the approval, Xiao Lingtong’s main market is domestic. How can you get 60% of its equipment to be sold abroad?
There is no small-scale market abroad, and there is no system network at all. Can it be sold as a junk?
Since Wu Nianzu knew that Xiao Lingtong’s money-making main thing was selling terminal call equipment, he had to ask clearly if he wanted to involve equipment production.
As long as Xiaolingtong's business is not classified as a mobile device, you can do something without worrying about the control of mobile devices and let go of your hands and feet!
At this time, Wu Nianzu deeply understood the widely circulated sentence in China: There are policies from above and countermeasures from below!
Xiaolingtong's backward technology is a countermeasure that Telecom has come up with, and it has taken advantage of this historical opportunity to achieve miraculous results and achieved a ten-year environmental development period!
Five days later, Wu Nianzu returned to Hong Kong. This time everything was going well in the capital.
In addition to obtaining Xiao Lingtong's patent authorization, he also established a good friendship with Mr. Wang of Telecom.
Afterwards, Wu Nianzu also visited two mobile device manufacturers. These two companies are not top in China and are incomparable to ZTE and Huawei, but they are also among the top ten in China and have good foundations.
With a wave of his hand, both manufacturers bought them directly, and they were aiming for their production lines and established channels.
Regarding the development of Xiaolingtong, Wu Nianzu has made plans. Relying on Hong Kong Island's educational resources and superior environment, it attracts high-tech talents and establishes a technology research and development center.
Acquisition of suitable manufacturers in the mainland and building production lines, the cost of cheap labor in the mainland can be extremely low, and it also saves cross-border freight.
Separate technology, design and production lines, and make clear division of labor.
Nowadays, the manufacturers in China are not very expensive, but Wu Nianzu is not short of money now, what he lacks is time!
Xiaolingtong technology is simple, has a relatively low threshold, and is easy to get started. And there is no need to consider whether there is a production license approved by the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Information and Industry. This is good news for Wu Nianzu.
But it is also for this reason that for other manufacturers, it is obviously much easier to enter the Xiaolingtong mobile phone market than to enter the GSM mobile phone and CDMA mobile phone markets.
Wu Nianzu did not fight an unprepared battle. Since he had set a goal and had a prophet's advantage, he had to seize the first-mover advantage, occupy the market first, and snowball this advantage!
After returning to Hong Kong Island, Wu Nianzu did not rush to the crew of "New Police Story", but instead took his feet to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as soon as he got off the plane.
When I met Professor Wang again, this time it was not just him, but he brought a whole project team formed by the Communications Academy to receive Wu Nianzu.
Similarly, Wu Nianzu did not come alone, and followed several technicians he brought from the mainland.
These were brought specifically to Hong Kong Island after Wu Nianzu acquired the two manufacturers.
Wu Nianzu smiled and introduced:
"Professor Wang, these are all technical employees of our company. If you have any technical issues in the future, you will have to communicate and discuss with each other."
Professor Wang naturally would not be accustomed to it. If Wu Nianzu's company had no technician, he would call him a fool.
"Wu Sheng, we have built the architecture of this communication technology system, just so that the people in your company can see if it meets your requirements.
In addition, you can list all the requirements for the system in advance, otherwise it will be troublesome to change after it is done."
