After returning from the meeting, Zhao Yi began to sort out the technical issues of mobile network upgrade. According to this technical specification document, the upgraded network downlink speed can reach 256kbps.
This technical standard is much faster than the previous one, that is, GPRS. In fact, Zhao Yi can further increase it to 512kbps, but he feels it is not necessary.
Because if the technical standards are improved too much this time, then the necessity of 3G mobile technology in the future will be much reduced, and many network mobile operators may not be willing to upgrade.
This will seriously damage the interests of his communications company, so he believes that upgrading to 256kbps is enough. With high-speed compression transmission technology, it already has certain usage scenarios and can basically achieve the purpose.
In fact, the 3G technology of Hengtong Communications Company has been developed and is highly complete, but it has not been released to the outside world.
Because the current 2G mobile networks have just been built around the world, many mobile operators have spent high prices to build networks and have not recovered the costs.
Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible to get mobile operators around the world to spend money to upgrade their networks again.
Through a small upgrade, the cost of upgrading from 2G to 2G is very low, and at the same time as common call rates, mobile data communications can be activated, bringing another business income to operators.
Of course, if you want to achieve the communication conditions available in most scenarios, just upgrading is not enough, because at such a speed, you can only read text, which is even slower.
Therefore, as an important part of it, high-speed data compression transmission technology is the necessary foundation, and Zhao Yi plans to own this technology under his own name and rely on charging royalties for revenue.
In other words, anyone who uses this technology to transmit mobile data needs to be charged based on the amount of data compression. This part of the fee will not go into the communication company's account and eventually go into his personal account.
Even though he is currently known as a researcher at the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, compared to the amount of wealth he currently displays, anyone who is interested can clearly investigate it as long as they investigate.
Therefore, he must add more sources of funds to himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford such a huge residence just by relying on his status as a researcher.
If he relied on this high-speed data compression transmission technology and charged fees according to the amount of compressed data, he would become a rich man in minutes.
Even if you charge 0.1 yuan per gigabyte of data, you will earn at least hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue every year. This is still a conservative estimate. It is not impossible to have an annual revenue of 1 billion yuan or even more.
With this intellectual property income, there is an explanation for the source of his huge wealth, which can at least hide it from outside investigations.
This is not because Zhao Yi is being too cautious, but because he feels it is very necessary because he does not want to attract too much attention from others yet and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to himself.
After completing these technical documents, Zhao Yi sent them directly to Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technologies Company, asking them to negotiate with cooperative mobile network operators to upgrade the current 2G network.
Under this technical specification, the cost of upgrading is not large, only about 10% of the previous construction cost, but the benefits are very obvious, and operators can obtain data traffic revenue.
In the face of huge profits, I believe that no mobile network operator with a right mind will refuse such a technology upgrade.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you disagree. Originally, this kind of technical upgrade was to cooperate with the issuance of digital currency, and it only needs to be upgraded domestically.
It is very simple to upgrade domestically, because the largest mobile network operator is its industry. China Unicom currently occupies 70% of the domestic mobile network market share.
With the upgrade of mobile network technology, the handheld terminal devices previously released by Hengtong Communications Company also need to be replaced before they can use mobile network data transmission services.
This will bring huge economic benefits to his communications industry, because this kind of upgrading is very necessary and will force consumers to replace their mobile phone devices.
However, Zhao Yi does not plan to just let Hengtong Communications Company operate the mobile phone industry this time. Instead, he plans to involve Polaris Company and Huawei Technology Company to carve up this market together.
Because according to his observation, under the monopoly operation of Hengtong Communication Company, the development speed of handheld terminals has obviously slowed down. Consumers can only buy their products anyway and have no motivation to work more in this area.
If Huawei Technologies and Polaris are involved, the level of competition will be much better than it is now. Although they both have the same boss, they are independent companies after all, and there will still be conflicts of interest.
In terms of manufacturing smartphone hardware, his companies are already technically equipped. The tablets developed and produced by Polaris are very close to smartphones.
The next step is the operating system of the smartphone and the design of the smartphone. Actually, Polaris is not particularly worried because they already have relevant experience in this area.
Their tablet operating system is developed by themselves, and their design is also in line with the aesthetics of future generations, otherwise they would not sell so well internationally.
But Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technology Company are different. They basically focused on enterprise business before, and their capabilities in the consumer field were relatively weak.
In order to avoid them taking the wrong path, delaying time and wasting costs, Zhao Yi directly designed several future smartphone styles for their reference, and also provided many important suggestions on the mobile operating system.
Since Polaris Company already has a tablet operating system that can be used on smartphones with only minor improvements, they will exist as an independent closed system in the future, equivalent to the IOS system in later generations.
As for Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technology Company, since they have no experience in this area and are very short of talents in this area, they will use the smartphone operating system built for them by Fanxing Software Company.
After preparing these, Zhao Yi sent the files to Polaris Company, Hengtong Communications Company, Huawei Technology Company and Fanxing Software Company respectively.
As for when their smartphones will be released, Zhao Yi is not worried. Previous cross-platform languages can be used to build mobile operating systems.
Moreover, Polaris Company and Fanxing Software Company both have their own operating system kernel technology, coupled with the blessing of efficient intelligent editing software. If it is fast, the product can be released in half a year. If it is slow, one year is enough.
During this period of time, mobile communication operators can completely upgrade their networks. When the network upgrade is completed, smartphones should be almost ready to meet consumers.
Because this mobile network upgrade does not require the replacement of base station equipment, or even any changes, it only requires upgrading the network backend, and it is mainly software upgrades, supplemented by hardware upgrades.
In this case, the upgrade speed is very fast, and half a year to a year is considered a long time.
After the document was sent, Zhao Yi sat in his seat and thought about it. He felt that he still needed to let several Internet companies under his umbrella prepare for the arrival of the mobile Internet so as not to be in a hurry.
Therefore, the relevant characteristics of the mobile Internet era were also compiled into documents and sent to several Internet companies, including Shangtong Trading Company and Tianwen Bookstore, which also have related Internet businesses.
With preparation, they will definitely follow the progress of several smartphone manufacturers at any time. When the operating system simulator comes out, they can design their own mobile Internet applications and be one step ahead of others.
You must know that Internet application is faster every step of the way, and their mobile applications can be pre-installed when they are sold. Any consumer who buys a smartphone will have the possibility to become their user.
At this point, Zhao Yi realized that Shangtong Trading Company's online mall was not online yet, and he didn't know what they were doing. There was not much description of this part of the content in their reports.
Because Shangtong Trading Company is so large, many details are not presented for the convenience of Zhao Yi to view the reports, only rough data.
For example, the online shopping mall business is even ignored in Shangtong Trading Company's system, because they are not yet profitable and are just in the preparation stage.
However, there were only a few days until the annual meeting, so he had no intention of calling to inquire. He could just ask about this business at the annual meeting.
After processing these, Zhao Yi began to sort out the technology for this digital currency. After sorting it out, he sent it to Fanxing Software Company. In the future, this company will cooperate with the central bank to develop digital currency.
In addition, Xinghan Technology Company will also moderately participate in the development of digital currencies, because they have accumulated a lot of experience in online payments and can provide a lot of support for digital currency payments.
In fact, digital currency cannot exist alone and must be carried by relevant accounts, which means it needs to be linked to relevant bank accounts.
There is still a huge difference between Xinghan Technology Company's online payment system account and bank account, and it cannot be used as a regular digital currency storage account.
Therefore, Zhao Yi never thought that Xinghan Technology Company could make his account have the nature of a bank account, but he hoped that their online payment interface would be embedded in the payment terminal.
That is to say, using digital currency terminals, you can not only directly realize payment and transfer from bank account to bank account, but also realize digital currency transactions between online payment systems and bank accounts, as well as between online payment systems.
In this case, Xinghan Technology's online payment system will further expand the consumer base and increase their influence and status in this field.
Then we compiled a technical plan for a digital currency payment transaction terminal and handed it over to Polaris Company, who will be responsible for the research, development and production in this area in the future.
In fact, after going through the smartphone research and development plan just now, Zhao Yi is skeptical about whether this kind of digital goods trading terminal is still necessary.
If consumers all have smartphones, these functions can be integrated into the smartphone, and there is no need for such a specialized digital currency transaction terminal.
However, considering that not all domestic people can currently afford smartphones, as a rule, high-tech products that are launched for the first time are often very expensive.
However, according to the current maturity of communications, even if a smartphone comes out, the price will be lower than the price of mobile phones currently sold by Hengtong Communications Company.
According to Zhao Yi's ideal price, the price of a smartphone should be around 1,000 yuan, which is affordable for most working-class people in the country.
The current mobile phone business of Hengtong Communication Company needs to be completely suspended and only produces mobile phones with basic communication functions for domestic low-income consumer groups and elderly groups.
The reason why Hengtong Communications Company's mobile phones were so expensive before was because they were thinking from a monopoly position. You must know that they can also produce mobile phones that cost more than 100 yuan.
Even a high-end mobile phone priced at more than 2,000 yuan is still ridiculously expensive. You must know that our currency exchange rate is not low, which has seriously hindered the development of global mobile networks.
This is also the reason why he plans to hand over the research and development and production of smartphones to three companies this time, so that there will be competition, the price can be lowered, and all aspects can be further optimized.
Considering that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. has no experience in the production of smartphones in the future, and Hengtong Communications Co., Ltd.’s previous mobile phone production business may not necessarily be able to meet the requirements.
Therefore, the foundry business that Zhao Yi had always wanted to establish was put on his agenda, and he planned to spin off the mobile phone production business of Hengtong Communications Company and establish a specialized foundry manufacturing company.
As for Polaris Company's own production business, Zhao Yi has no plans to move it, because their consumer business is very extensive, so it is very necessary to retain their own manufacturing business, and there is no situation where personnel have nothing to do.
However, if the production business is tight, part of the production tasks can be handed over to the foundry company, which can meet the rising costs caused by short-term production increases.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi sent relevant recruitment information to the human resources company, requiring that the person in charge must have senior production management experience and also have a keen market sense.
Then he sent an email to Hengtong Communications Company, asking them to sort out their mobile phone production business in advance. When it is ready, it will be much easier to divest it.
After arranging these things, Zhao Yi finally relaxed, entered into his experiments, and started his robot research plan.
According to his plan, this robot research is purely out of interest, because with the current level of economic development, there are not many scenarios where high-end robots are used, and it is not as cost-effective as hiring more workers.
As for the sweeping robot, in Zhao Yi's opinion, it is not considered a robot at all, it can only be regarded as a sweeping machine, and its name is not worthy of the word "human".
The goal of his research and development this time is to create a humanoid robot that is invisible to the naked eye and is no different from a real person. It is very difficult. If it is really developed, he can arrange for some of them to be added to his own security team.
As for other bionic robots, they are secondary goals. If humanoid robots can be developed, many technologies can be applied to other bionic robots, and the difficulty of implementation will be much lower.
While Zhao Yi was busy in the laboratory, Lin Hexia called and told him that Sun Yunxuan, the former executive president of Wanwan, sent someone to Xincheng Hospital to inquire about admission treatment.
If you are not a Hong Kong citizen, it is difficult to enter this hospital for treatment, so it is basically impossible to quietly be admitted to the hospital for treatment.
This is why Lin Hexia knew about this matter. Because of Sun Yunxuan's identity, he had to submit it for approval before he could give a reply. In terms of the management of this hospital, the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company has certain authority.
If it were an ordinary politician, the leaders in charge below would be able to make their own trade-offs, but this matter might not be that simple, so they would report it to Lin Hexia.
You must know that the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is completely hostile now, and Xincheng Hospital is a branch of a Chinese medical company that is publicly disclosed. Many things have to be considered far-reaching, so why not call Zhao Yi to ask for his opinion.
"Although his status is quite special, he can be treated as an ordinary patient. In addition, he is not among the service targets of this hospital and is an exception. Therefore, the fee has been increased by 50%. I believe he should not be short of this amount. ." Zhao Yi said.
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Lin Hexia was also stunned. She began to think that in order to show friendship, Zhao Yi would probably waive his medical expenses and also give him special treatment.
As a result, not only was there no fee exemption or special treatment, but the treatment fee was even increased by 50% because of an exception, which was completely beyond her understanding of how to deal with the matter.
"Is this good?" Lin Hexia asked.
"You think it's complicated. This is a normal business transaction. Isn't it normal to break the convention and charge more
As for other things, it is not something you and I should think about, nor is it something that can be decided by this little goodwill. You know, many things are ultimately a matter of interests.
Even if you want to express goodwill, it should be mutual. You can't do things like touching a hot face to a cold butt. Otherwise, not only will people not appreciate it, but they will also take it for granted.
Once the kindness we have given disappears, instead of arousing gratitude, it will only make us hate us more. This is very similar to the story of a beggar. " Zhao Yi said.
"Oh, tell me." Lin Hexia asked with interest.
"There was a man who saw a poor beggar begging on his way to work every day, so he felt compassion and gave away 1 yuan every day.
This went on for a long time, until one day, the kind person suddenly stopped giving alms to the beggar, which caused the beggar to question him.
The beggar asked: "Why don't you give me money today? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" '
The well-intentioned person replied: 'Because I am getting married and all the money I have is needed to organize the wedding and prepare for subsequent childbirth. I can't spare any more money for charity. '
What do you think the beggar’s reaction was? " Zhao Yi asked.
"It should be congratulations. After all, this kind person has been giving alms for so long. He is about to have a happy event, so he deserves congratulations." Lin Hexia said.
"You guessed wrong. I saw the beggar asking: 'How can you marry a wife and have children? What should I do?', so the beggar raised his fist and hit the kind person." Zhao Yi said.
When Lin Hexia heard that the story had such an ending, she immediately fell into silence. Occasionally unilateral charity may bring about a short-term feeling of gratitude.
Long-term unilateral charity will become a matter of course, and will only pave the way for subsequent hatred. This is a common truth. Only a few people are grateful for a long time, and the majority of people will behave exactly the opposite.
Experience in previous lives has proven this fact. Our policies that were supposed to benefit them were taken for granted by them. Not only were the agricultural products exported to us of the worst quality, but they also imposed bans on various of our business practices.
What’s even more irritating is that the pineapples we warned 10 times had quality problems, but were ignored. As a result, after we banned them, we didn’t reflect on ourselves. Instead, it was our fault.
There are many other examples, so I won’t go into details here.
After hearing the story told by Zhao Yi, Lin Hexia no longer questioned his way of handling the matter, and handled it completely according to his way.
Then Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia talked about themselves for a while. The more they talked, the more addicted they became. They chatted for a long time. Finally, Zhao Yi asked her to come back early to attend the annual meeting if there was no urgent matter to deal with. (End of chapter)
