In 1999, some big or small things happened in China's communications industry.

In June of the same year, Huaguo Mobile Communications Group was established, thus Huaguo Communications officially entered the era of three pillars of telecommunications, China Unicom and China Mobile.

On July 2, GSM mobile phone number increased to 11 digits.

During this period, foreign mobile phone manufacturers attempted to enter the Chinese market several times, but were rejected by the Ministry of Information Industry on the grounds that the market was immature.

Wan Feng knows that no matter how hard we protect the interests of domestic manufacturers now, after China joins the WTO in 2002, this market will definitely be open to foreign mobile phone manufacturers.

But Wanfeng has nothing to worry about. Let alone 2002, Huaguang would not take it seriously even if it opened up now. It can be said that Huaguang has led the trend in 2G mobile phones.

Every once in a while, Huaguang mobile phones will launch a batch of mobile phones with new functions.

These features will be released about a year earlier than the previous generation, always putting Huaguang mobile phones in a leading position.

For example, wireless Internet access, which was only launched in 2000 in the previous generation, and mobile phones that can be used for handwriting are all coming out this year, and mobile phones that can listen to MP3 will also be released soon.

Next year Huaguang Mobile will launch a color screen mobile phone.

If Gu Hongzhong can understand the research on cameras, Huaguang may be able to launch a mobile phone that can take pictures by the end of next year. Of course, the pixels will not be much higher. One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand will be enough.

Like the Nokia 1100 released in 2003 with global sales of 200 million units, Wanfeng is preparing to launch it in 2002.

Everything has been planned by Wan Feng. With a person like him with a cheat, no one else can expect to surpass him.

Of course, Nanwan Group also has this technical strength. It can be said that at this time, Nanwan Group has achieved the point of not asking for help in everything in the field of mobile phones and computers.

Although the Ministry of Information Industry has rejected requests from foreign manufacturers to enter the Chinese market, domestic manufacturers are able to develop mobile phone projects without any hindrance.

In August 1999, a mobile phone that was later called a fighter among mobile phones appeared on the market.

It is the waveguide RC818.

The emergence of the waveguide RC818 broke the monopoly of Huaguang Mobile Phones in China.

The predecessor of Bird Company was Fenghua Bird Company. After successfully developing pagers in 1993, it began to focus on the communications industry.

In 1996, digital pagers and stock pagers were successfully developed and put into production. By 1997, the annual sales volume of pagers was 320,000 units. By 1998, the sales volume of pagers exceeded one million.

In August 1998, Bird's first 2G mobile phone was launched.

It can be seen that whether it is a pager or a mobile phone, waveguide lags far behind Huaguang Technology.

When Bird's pager sales exceeded one million, it was also when Huaguang began to stop the production and sales of pagers.

When Huaguang's mobile phone sales were approaching eight million units, Bird's first mobile phone was released.

Since 2000 in the last generation, Bird mobile phones have been the sales champion of domestic mobile phones, with 700,000 mobile phones sold that year.

In the following years, it continuously won the sales championship of domestic brand mobile phones and won the reputation of the fighter in mobile phones.

But in this life, although it has appeared, it is destined to no longer have the glory of the previous life. An insurmountable opponent stands in front of it.

This opponent is insurmountable.

Wan Feng has nothing to worry about when Bird makes mobile phones. What he is worried about is that if foreign manufacturers discover that domestic manufacturers in China can manufacture mobile phones, they might create some messy joint ventures like those for cars.

Although Huaguang is not afraid of competition, it is reasonable to resolve these troubles through legitimate channels.

Therefore, Wan Feng discussed with the Ministry of Information Industry and issued a temporary document. Although the wording was high-sounding, there was only one content. Any company and foreign businessmen jointly producing mobile phones would be illegal and would not receive approval from the Ministry of Information Industry.

Network access permit and business license.

The hole was blocked in advance.

While Wanfeng was plugging the hole, the issue of third-generation mobile phone standards, led by the Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, later known as Datang, was also in intensive progress.

This is China's own TD-SCDMA standard.

However, at that time, domestic communication base station manufacturers had little confidence in the formulation of this standard, and there were very few responders.

Even Yin Zhenfei is not optimistic about this standard.

There were more than 30 people attending the meeting, and the debate was fierce, with 90% of them skeptical.

People's suspicions are justified. International standards have always been dominated by foreigners. It is very expensive and difficult to develop mobile communication standards. Our country has no such precedent. Can we afford to play this game?

Song Zhiyuan, then director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, said: "China cannot always rely on foreign technology to develop its mobile communications industry. There has to be a first time. The first time may not succeed, but it will leave valuable experience. I support them.

Bring TD-SCDMA to the international market. If it fails, we will regard it as a victory, an innovative attempt by Chinese people, and a contribution to the country."

This is considered a decision.

Thanks to Song Zhiyuan's decision, without his decision, TD-SCDMA would not have become one of the three major standards for third-generation mobile phones.

It's hard to say how China's communications industry will develop in the next four or even five generations.

Although Song Zhiyuan made the decision, few responded.

It was Wan Feng who came forward to persuade Yin Zhenfei to let Warwick participate.

Yin Zhenfei didn't have to listen to what others said, but he still listened to Wan Feng's words.

After several days of fierce ideological struggle, Warwick made up its mind and was the first to participate in the discussion and formulation of the TD-SCDMA project, and of course invested in it.

They and Datang established the China Wireless Communication Standards Research Group, abbreviated as CWTS.

After four months of full preparation and extensive coordination work with the 3G Project Coordination Group and the TSG Technical Specification Group, it was recommended to 3GPP in September 1999 that TD-SCDMA be included in the work content of the 3GPP standard specification.

Of course, this standard will have to go through many meetings and debates before it can be approved and implemented, which is a matter for the future.

If Warwick is involved, Huaguang will naturally not participate. Huaguang can develop its own mobile phone and computer business with peace of mind.

During the day, someone scolded Fang Qiu and acted like a sunflower, but at night he had to accept the surveillance of his two wives.

His novel "The King of Soldiers" has now written more than 20,000 words, and it has become very popular on Qidian.com.

Xu Meilin finally launched the recommendation ticket function, and his novel received thousands of votes within three days of the recommendation ticket appearing.

Driven by this novel, the Qidian website now has more than 20 authors stationed on the site, and more than 20 novels are being serialized.

It feels a bit prosperous.

As the saying goes, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first, and several literary lovers have begun to serialize their works on Qidian.com.

But they obviously did not master the essentials of online literature, and still used traditional literature writing methods.

How can this be done?
