The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Joey quickly called Motorola's president Galante and reported the situation to him.

Galante was very shocked when he heard this.

Of course, he had heard before that Longguo was building a large-scale mobile communication network, but he didn't quite believe it. He always thought it was just a smokescreen.

In his estimation, it would take at least one or two years for Longguo to truly promote mobile communication networks on a large scale.

By that time, according to the agreement between Motorola and Pangu Technology, Motorola will have priority in obtaining communication network equipment.

"Is there something wrong with my prediction?" Galant thought.

He asked Joey, "Have you been to the scene to check it out?"

Joey said: "I saw that many mobile base station towers have been built throughout the Magic City."

"I heard that they had already started internal testing half a month ago."

"Their postal and telecommunications departments have already received the mobile phones and are preparing to start the network access procedures."

"This is definitely not a smokescreen."

Galante was very depressed and shook his head. He said, "Go contact Qian Guangjun and make a big concession to try to get this order!"

"Even if they promote mobile communications, the paging business should continue, right?"

"After all, the mobile communication network cannot cover all areas. There are definitely blind spots."

In the early days of mobile communication network promotion, the area that a base station tower could cover was not large. Even in cities, there were places where the signal could not reach.

Therefore, you may not be able to make calls with your mobile phone everywhere.

Moreover, the vast suburbs are generally not covered.

In those areas, a mobile phone is a brick.

Paging is different. The signal is transmitted directly to the owner's pager frequency, and the transmission distance is quite far.

Even in the mountains, you can still receive paging signals.

For this reason, in the past, during the first few years of the 21st century, many people used pagers and mobile phones together, with pagers hanging on their waists and mobile phones in their hands.

Therefore, there is basically no problem with Galante's judgment.

Joey said, "Boss, there is a problem here. If we make a big concession, we will be laughed at by the other party, and we may even suffer losses. In that case, there will not be much meaning in doing this business."

According to Motorola's original plan, the business of Shanghai's paging system would cost at least several hundred million dollars.

But now, people have started to promote mobile communications on a large scale, and paging has become outdated!

If we negotiate an agreement with the Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Department now, I'm afraid even 100 million dollars would be enough, right?
Galante said impatiently: "Go and try to talk!"

"Also, call Pangu Technology. No! You might as well go visit them and ask them if they can supply us."

Joey accepted the instructions and contacted Qian Guangjun immediately after he finished the call.

"Mr. Qian, I heard that your mobile phone business will be launched soon?"

Qian Guangjun smiled and said, "Yes, we will start promoting mobile phone business soon."

Joey asked almost subconsciously: "So, will you continue to carry out the paging business?"

Qian Guangjun heard the disappointment in Joey's words. He laughed and said, "The paging business will also be developed."

"However, patrol operations will only be auxiliary in the future."

"Your equipment is too expensive!"

"Your pagers are even several times more expensive than our mobile phones, which is a bit funny."

Joey quickly said, "Mr. Qian, we can talk about this again."

Qian Guangjun said: "Give me a price."

Joey said, "We can help you build a paging network that covers the entire Magic City for only $1 million. Is that okay with you?"

Joey gritted his teeth and quoted a price.

In fact, the equipment of the paging station is different from the mobile phone communication network.

Paging stations need to build a wireless paging system, which only requires one transmission tower.

Its working principle is based on radio transmission.

When users need to contact pager holders, they call the paging station and tell the operator the relevant information. The paging station compiles this information into a string of digital codes and transmits it through the antenna of the transmission tower, so that the pager holder can receive the relevant information.

A high-power pager transmission tower can transmit at a distance of more than ten kilometers in a densely populated urban area and more than 20 kilometers in an open area.

Therefore, pagers can have a wider coverage area than mobile phones.

Its construction cost is also much lower than that of mobile communication networks.

Moreover, there are not many particularly difficult aspects in terms of technology.

In my previous life, in the early 90s, a Motorola digital pager could be sold for more than 1 yuan, while a Hanxian one could be sold for two to three thousand yuan.

However, by the time Longguo developed its own pager system and produced its own pagers, the price of pagers began to plummet in the late 90s. At one point, the price dropped to less than yuan for one, and it came with a service fee for one or two years. Can you imagine that?
This is the huge benefit brought by the development of independent technology.

If you don't develop yourself and the relevant fields are blank, don't blame the multinational giants for coming in and reaping the benefits.

Qian Guangjun smiled and said, "If you had quoted this price ten days ago, we might have signed an agreement with you."

"But now, I'm sorry, I guess we can't cooperate anymore."

Joey was surprised: "Why?"

"We at Motorola are the best paging service provider in the world."

"Are you going to cooperate with other multinational companies?"

Qian Guangjun smiled and said, "I have to tell you that we have made a technological breakthrough in the paging business in our country. We have developed the equipment needed for the paging station and have already debugged it. It's very good!"

"Moreover, our domestically produced equipment is quite cheap. A set of equipment only costs a few hundred thousand RMB. We only need about 10 paging towers to fully cover the entire Magic City."

"So, of course we can't cooperate with you anymore."

Joey's heart felt like it was hit hard by a sledgehammer.

He never imagined that Longguo had actually developed the pager device.

In fact, the technological content of pager equipment is much smaller than that of mobile communications.

Joey never thought that since Longguo had made breakthroughs in mobile communication technology, how could it not make breakthroughs in pager technology?

These white people are just too arrogant most of the time.

Joey is in a bad mood now.

This could have been a profitable business!
Now it’s good, he just ran away.

I guess even if he lowers the price to a few million dollars now, the other party will no longer cooperate with Motorola.

"Oh, I want to ask, which company in your country has made a breakthrough in paging equipment technology?" Joey asked.

Qian Guangjun smiled and said, "It was developed by a scientific research team of Pangu Technology."

“They didn’t want to go back to paging technology because it was kind of outdated.”

"However, they later found that pagers would not be eliminated in the short term and there was still a lot of room for their use, so they asked a few scientific researchers to tinker with it and they soon came up with it."

Joey felt even more bitter at this moment.

He thought, why didn’t I think of this…

But now, it is basically certain that a big business deal has been lost.

"Well, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." Joey said bitterly.

After finishing the call with Qian Guangjun, Joey started thinking, I should make an appointment with Wang Haoran to see if I can talk to him.

Joey called Pangu Technology.

The call was answered by Wang Haoran's wife Xiao Lijuan.

Joey made his purpose clear.

Xiao Lijuan asked Wang Haoran next to her for his opinion.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Motorola should be in a hurry these days."

"They probably never expected that we would suddenly make a breakthrough in paging technology."

"They still dream of making a fortune in Dragon Country."

"Unfortunately, it is no longer possible now."

Xiao Lijuan covered the microphone and asked, "Haoran, have you met Motorola?"

Wang Haoran said: "If he is willing to come, then let's meet him and listen to what he wants to say."

Xiao Lijuan said to Joey on the phone: "When do you plan to come? Let's make an appointment first."

"Our leader can give you a half-hour meeting at 4 p.m. tomorrow."

After Joey made the call, he immediately bought a plane ticket to Beijing.

He was on the Starship passenger plane which was completely owned by Dragon Country.

Joey was sitting on this plane, and he felt bitter all the way.

He originally wanted to make a big splash in Dragon Country.

According to his vision, he would be able to obtain business worth at least $10 billion or more every year in Longguo.

But now, he hasn't been able to close any business.

Last year, he came to Long Country. When he traveled between major cities in Long Country, he took the large Usa 707 plane. At that time, he was full of confidence and felt that he was a superior person in Long Country.

But now?

He was hit hard and frustrated. He was very depressed.

He never had a happy day.

Look at the Starship airliner he took this time, which is full of a dreamy sci-fi feel.

This plane is several levels better than the 707.

Even a Boeing 747 can't compare to it!
The Dragon Kingdom is developing too fast.

This country, which was considered backward in the eyes of the Lizardmen, has now become so developed.

This was unacceptable to Joey.

After the plane arrived in Beijing, Joey got off the plane and took a taxi directly to Pangu Technology.

It is still far from the time to meet Wang Haoran, so he needs to stay near Pangu Technology Company for one night first.

Today, a small city with an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers has been formed near Pangu Company, and the surrounding supporting facilities are very complete.

Joey has been here many times and each time he has a different feeling.

Joey stayed in a hotel.

At around 9 o'clock that evening, he called the office of Motorola President Galante.

As expected, Galante was already in the office.

Joey then told us that Longguo had made breakthroughs in paging technology and had built its own paging network.

"Boss, it is now certain that we will most likely not be able to obtain a contract to build a paging network in Dragon Country."

"It's a really sad story."

Galante let out a long sigh.

"We should have expected that they could have figured out the paging technology themselves," he said.

“We always take our chances.”

“This has caused us a great loss.”

"Forget it. If the paging business can't be done, then just give up."

"Now, we need to keep a close eye on Pangu Technology and ask them to supply us with mobile communication equipment in advance. We also hope to build a mobile communication network as soon as possible."

“This is very important to our business transformation.”

In fact, Motorola's own mobile communication technology has also been under research and development.

However, what they are currently developing and researching is analog mobile communication technology.

The equipment was too bulky and the signal wasn't good enough.

Their mobile phones are like bricks.

It’s expensive, hard to use, and compared to Dragon Country’s digital mobile communications technology, it’s pure garbage.

Motorola has invested so much, and they probably know that their early investment has basically been wasted.

That's why they are trying so hard to cooperate with Pangu Technology.

Because they know that if they don’t take the lead, other competitors will probably take the lead.

The next afternoon, Joey arrived at the gate of Pangu Technology early.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he passed the guard's inspection and entered the gate of Pangu Technology.

After entering the office building and going to the floor where Wang Haoran works, I had to undergo another inspection.

"Mr. Joey, you can go sit in the reception room first."

"We will let you know when it is your turn."

The staff member said to Joey.

There were several people sitting in the reception room, all of them foreigners.

Obviously, these are representatives of merchants from various countries.

Joey took a look and found that one of them was Rodman, the vice president of Hytera Corporation in Jusa.

Hytera is also considered a major competitor of Motorola.

Joey was a little frightened when he saw Rodman.

He wondered what business Rodman came here to discuss?

God this is horrible.

"Hi! Mr. Joey, I didn't expect to meet you here." Rodman took the initiative to greet Joey.

Joey smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Rodman. I wonder what business you are here for this time?"

Rodman smiled and said, "We understand that Dragon Country has developed advanced mobile communication technology, and they have even begun to promote and apply it in their own country."

"I came here this time just to discuss cooperation."

Joey shrugged and said, "I'm afraid you're late."

"We have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with Pangu Technology."

Rodman laughed and said, "You are so funny! We have learned that you did sign a cooperation agreement with them, but it is not exclusive."

“Any company can work with them.”

"I'm sure they'll welcome it."

Joey frowned and said, "So, did you sign the agreement?"

Rodman smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although we haven't signed the agreement yet, we are almost done with the talks."

"Mr. Joey, the market of Jusa is big enough, so you can't try to occupy it all by yourself. That's impossible."

"If you monopolize it, you may violate antitrust provisions, which is disadvantageous to Motorola. I think we should build an alliance and share the market together, which will allow us to make more profits."

Joey snorted. Although what Rodman said made sense, Joey was still very unhappy.

Just at this moment, a staff member came in and asked Rodman to go to Wang Haoran's office first.

When Rodman arrived, he greeted Roy with a smile and said, "Don't be so sad, man. I dare say that it is certain that we will become their partners!"

Rodman leaves.

Joey felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

During the short time that Rodman was away, Joey felt a little uneasy.

When Rodman came back with a smile on his face about 20 minutes later, Joey was sure that Rodman must have had a pretty good negotiation on behalf of Hytera.

"Hey guys! I have good news for you. We will soon sign a cooperation agreement with Pangu Technology. Be happy for us."

"In addition, Mr. Wang Haoran said that he hopes that all of our companies that cooperate with Pangu Technology can work together to share the market in Jusa."

Joey looked gloomy and said nothing.

But his unhappiness was now written all over his face.

I originally thought this was Motorola's unique business.

Now the situation is good. I am afraid that several companies will have to share the benefits.

This is definitely not a good thing.

"Mr. Joey, now, it's your turn."

The staff is greeting Joey.

Joey stood up and followed him to the door of Wang Haoran's office.

He was a little angry and wanted to hold Wang Haoran accountable.

However, when he arrived at the door of Wang Haoran's office, he calmed down.

There are several security guards standing here.

Here, you still have to go through another security check.

This scene instantly calmed Joey down.

He realized the gap in status between him and Wang Haoran.

Moreover, it can be said that Motorola took the initiative to request cooperation with Pangu Technology.

Motorola is clearly in a weak position.

After the examination, Joey walked into Wang Haoran's office with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wang, it's nice to see you again." He bowed slightly and said to Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Mr. Joey, please sit down."

Wang Haoran was still sitting behind his desk.

There is a chair in front of the desk.

This is not a negotiating posture.

This is the scene when a superior meets his subordinates.

Joey sat down, and Wang Haoran asked, "I wonder what Mr. Joey is here for this time?"

Joey smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I heard that you have started to build mobile communication networks in many cities across the country. So, have you started to mass-produce communication equipment?"
