Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

At this time, there were very few users with dial-up Internet access in the world, less than 5 in total.

The Internet market has not yet been discovered. It is difficult for ISP Internet service providers to survive and are very small in scale. They usually rent telephone lines from telephone companies to carry out Internet access services.

Therefore, Zhao Ye decided to make a fortune silently and strive to obtain ISP licenses from various countries.

……

United Kingdom.

Representatives of Wujiang Group submitted an application to the relevant British authorities.

"What? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Do you want to be an ISP network service provider?" a British official asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm not mistaken. Wujiang Group really wants to be an ISP network service provider. We are willing to invest US$5 million in the UK to develop this business!" the Wujiang Group representative sitting opposite him said.

The $5 million is mainly used to update network equipment and lay fiber optic cables between major cities.

However, if you want to achieve fiber-to-the-home, it is simply impossible to invest in this amount, and time does not allow it. Therefore, when Wujiang Group develops its ISP business in Europe, it will cooperate with local fixed-line companies to rent their phone lines and realize dial-up Internet access.

This cooperation will bring no harm to the fixed-line company. It is equivalent to opening up a new business and a new profit growth point. Why not?

When the relevant British authorities heard that Wujiang Group had invested US$5 million, their eyes immediately lit up and they said they would consider it.

Subsequently, the British side held a meeting to discuss the matter.

Unfortunately, there were no websites and web pages at this time, and the value of the Internet could not be reflected at all.

Everyone believes that since Wujiang Group is willing to spend US$5 million to develop ISP business and invest in network infrastructure, then support it. This will not cause any loss to the UK.

Not only the United Kingdom, but other European countries were also discussing the same issue at this time.

Although Europe is very wary of Wujiang Group, Wujiang Group’s investment is very good.

Wujiang Group alone can drive local economic development by investing huge sums of money in laying optical cables.

Europe obviously did not realize the importance of the Internet at this time, so for them, why would they be reluctant to part with just an ISP license?

Wujiang Group makes decisions very quickly, and the European side also welcomes Wujiang Group’s investment. It can be said that the two sides hit it off.

In less than a month, Wujiang Group directly established an ISP company in various European countries, uniformly named "European Online" company, directly benchmarking "America Online".

Zhao Ye does not intend to go it alone. When the benefits of the Internet are realized, he will let the "European Online" company raise funds and involve major European capitals to make "European Online" bigger and stronger, thereby firmly binding Wujiang The ivp6 network protocol standard proposed by the group.

Just after the establishment of "European Online", it immediately cooperated with the fixed-line company and signed a long-term cooperation agreement.

Before the introduction of optical fiber to the home, dial-up Internet access through telephone lines became the most economical and reasonable way to solve the "last mile" problem of the Internet, that is, the access from the backbone network to the network client.

……

In Japan, the actions of Wujiang Group were a bit unsatisfactory.

Japan insists on not issuing an ISP license to Wujiang Group.

This makes Wujiang Group very helpless.

South Korea is also very conservative and stubborn and has not given Wujiang Group an ISP license.

However, good news has come from Southeast Asia. On the one hand, Wujiang Group has invested heavily in Southeast Asia, and they also attach great importance to Wujiang Group. On the other hand, they hope that Wujiang Group will invest in local telecommunications infrastructure and lay more optical cables. .

Countries in Southeast Asia are even less aware of the importance of the Internet. They only see Wujiang Group investing here and it is enough for them to make profits.

Of course, Wujiang Group also only builds Internet backbone networks in Southeast Asia and can accept financing in the future.

Wujiang Group is a weak company, and it is difficult to get fiber optics into the home. This is not only an economic problem, but also involves many things. It is naturally the best to introduce local snakes as partners.

At the moment, Zhao Ye is hesitating whether to invest in building a submarine optical cable from China to Europe. This optical cable is expected to be 12000 kilometers long and requires a large investment.

If this submarine optical cable is not built, then Asia and Europe can only play their own roles, and the network cannot be connected together.

Such a large super project may be difficult to accomplish with the influence of Wujiang Group alone. Therefore, the country needs to step forward and cooperate with Europe.

At this time, even if the United States no longer pays attention to the Internet, it never wants to see the success of this super project.

Therefore, it is very difficult to implement this super project!

“Is it still possible for China to turn the Chinese Internet into a huge intranet like it did in previous lives?”

Zhao Ye frowned slightly, thinking deeply.

It seems that even if a submarine optical cable is laid between Asia and Europe, ordinary Internet users will not be able to browse European websites due to language barriers.

However, submarine optical cables are not only involved in economic aspects, but also have strategic significance.

A few days later, Zhao Ye thought carefully and decided to invest in this super project.

The completion of this optical cable will strengthen communications between China and Europe and greatly increase the data transmission speed between China and Europe. It is particularly important at a time when China is strengthening economic exchanges with Europe.

The closer China and Europe get closer, the higher China's status will be.

Only by relying on the motherland can the Wujiang Group resist the shameless tricks of all kinds of demons and monsters.

Only when Chinese people go abroad can they not be looked down upon by others.

Afterwards, Zhao Ye spent about a week preparing the materials and wrote out the feasibility and importance of the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable super project.

Then, he asked people to send this material to relevant departments, hoping to get support from the state.

Domestic senior officials have long seen the Wujiang website, and they know the importance of the Internet.

Therefore, of course, we are extremely supportive of the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable super project.

At a certain meeting, an official even said that the role of the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable is not only to make communications between Asia and Europe closer, but also to incorporate countries along the way into China's Internet standards!

We have missed the industrial age and the electric power age, and we can no longer miss the information network age! ! !

Wujiang Group has created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our country to surpass the United States. Our country must seize this opportunity to achieve the goal of national prosperity and national rejuvenation! ! !

The Eurasian submarine super project has received strong support from the country. However, it is only unilateral at present, and the intentions of Europe are not yet known.

……

Wujiang Group of Companies.

Office of the Chairman.

"Comrade Zhao Ye, do you think we should submit the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable super project plan to Europe immediately?" an official asked.

Zhao Ye pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "Europeans value profits and do not let go of hawks before they see rabbits. They will not agree to this plan without seeing the benefits of the Internet!"

"You mean, after you release Shenzhou Computer 2 and ibook 1, start an Internet frenzy, and then contact Europe to support the plan to build an Asia-Europe submarine optical cable?"
