Chapter 372 Inspection work STYLE
After running out of breakfast in the buffet restaurant, Xiao Sui wanted to see what the pager signal station looked like.
Gu Ao was just idle, so he called the technical support person in charge of the contractor through the business card that Han Ting received yesterday.
When Gu Ao saw the other party, he felt familiar.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties, very modest and polite: "Mr. Gu, I am very happy to serve you and have long admired you. Ren Zhengyi, if you have any technical support questions about pager use, you can consult me at any time. I am the construction manager and technical support engineer of pager network construction in this city."
While speaking, he diligently helped Gu Ao and others to press the hotel freight elevator and went straight to the roof.
In the 1980s, there was no electronic access control, so the freight elevator of Zhaolong Hotel was specially guarded by a security guard. Only people he knew or had checked his ID card would allow you to use the elevator.
It can be seen that the current value of elevators and the high status of the guests on the building are so important that safety is important. Even an elevator can be specially hired to monitor it, one stop is a day, and two shifts are carried out 12 hours.
A few dozen seconds later, the elevator arrived at the top of the 21st floor. Gu Ao and Xiao Sui walked up to the rooftop and saw a bunch of things made of small antennas and electrical boxes.
It's roughly the same thing that the dog brother faced when he hacked into the ctos node in "Watch Dog", and it's a little bigger.
If you are familiar with China Unicom and mobile base stations, then you can just follow the imagination and don’t need to use "Watch Dog" to substitute it.
"I thought it was like a TV station, and I wanted to build a big iron tower." Xiao Sui covered her mouth curiously and quietly told her husband about her novice knowledge.
Gu Ao smiled and patted her waist: "If it is built in the suburbs or rural areas in the future, of course it will be a tower. This Zhaolong Hotel is already the tallest landmark nearby, which is more than 90 meters away. It is enough to use the signal of the building height. What other towers are needed? That's not a single move? I guess this station can cover a radius of several kilometers."
In the pager era, the signal requirements for base stations are actually not high, which is very different from mobile phones. Because mobile phones must ensure that the signal is continuously connected, otherwise the line will be disconnected while the phone is called. No matter how weak the pager signal is, as long as one or two frames can be received intermittently, the pager record can be delivered. It doesn’t matter if the signal is intermittent.
When Xiao Sui heard this, she nodded embarrassedly and started playing around with her own eyes, just like a literary and artistic young woman watching science fiction.
Only then did Gu Ao have time to sort out his ideas and talk to the technical support staff who explained it.
"Mr. Ren, have we met you? I think you are a little familiar. Are you from Guangdong Province?"
Gu Ao has realized that Ren Zhengyi is the same name as Boss Ren who was later in Xia Wei Technology, and looks vaguely similar, except that he has changed from an old man in his seventies to a middle-aged man in his forties.
But he didn't know Ren Zhengyi's hometown and his early experience, and only knew that Xia Wei Technology started a business in the SAR in the later generations, so he casually guessed the origin of Guangdong Province.
Ren Zhengyi folded his hands in front of him, bowed slightly, and replied politely: "Mr. Gu has a good memory. I have seen you, but you probably haven't heard of me. I am not from Guangdong Province, but from Qian Province. I studied at a college degree in Shu Province and studied construction engineering.
I have served in the Infrastructure Engineering Corps for many years, but at the beginning of this year, the state unified the entire system to abolish the Infrastructure Engineering Corps. Before the abolition, we served on the Second Phase of Yizheng Chemical Fiber Construction Project. After the abolition, we sought a way out. Just as we were going to take off our professional construction troops here, the people from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau couldn't handle it. I learned computers, electronics and automatic control by myself, so the organization recommended me to bring people."
Gu Ao was secretly happy that his resume should be matched, and that he was Boss Ren in the future.
The complete revocation of the infrastructure engineering corps was a major event at the beginning of 1983, and it was also a prelude to the second year of the million-dollar disarmament. After all, economic construction should still be operated in a market-oriented manner. Even the petroleum/petrochemical department was engaged in engineering corps, which was a bit inconsistent with the international community. That was the legacy of the "Iron Man Spirit" of the Qing Dynasty in the 1960s.
Historically, Ren Zhengyi was forced to go into the sea to work as a contractor for three years after the infrastructure engineering troop was abolished in early 1983. He went in the wind and rain, and first carried out various projects involving electronic and electrical technology for people. Later, he found out the direction of his struggle and saved 20,000 yuan to run Xia Wei, focusing on network-side projects for telecommunications, and started building telephone switches.
So, this is not a coincidence now - because in 1983, it is almost impossible for you to find someone who understands wireless communication and electronic construction from the staffing and technical personnel of the Hujiang Post and Telecommunications Bureau. Chinese talents are exposed to paging stations for the first time, and low-education workers and engineers can't handle it.
Yangzhou is not far from Hujiang. It is natural to recommend two talents with academic qualifications and technology from the newly disbanded infrastructure engineering corps from Yangzhou. Ren Zhengyi has a college degree and knows about electronics and automatic control. He is already a very professional senior talent in the engineering corps.
"No wonder, I remembered that two years ago, I met you when I accompanied some senior executives of CITIC Trust to inspect the construction progress of Yizheng Chemical Fiber Project - you are an infrastructure engineering team and are in the direction of petrochemical. At that time, Yizheng Chemical Fiber's yen trust bond financing was done by me and Boss Tong."
As Gu Ao said, he restored his demeanor to inspect the work and patted Ren Zhengyi on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Ren Zhengyi was quite aware of the kindness of his encounter and said movedly: "You have a good memory! I didn't expect that you, such a big boss who is busy with every opportunity, can remember all the ordinary engineers you met when you inspected your work two or three years ago."
Gu Ao enjoyed the other party's attitude very much and couldn't help but feel complacent.
It’s not that he is not cunning enough, but that when he thinks that the bosses in later generations have such a "feeling of knowing" to him, normal people can’t help but be content.
Gu Ao thought about it and asked very much: "So, Brother Ren, have you figured out a way out in the future? You are helping Motorola laying a signal station in Hujiang City. How many months should this construction last? I guess you have only covered two or three areas near the venue now. There will definitely be no signal if you are slightly off."
Ren Zhengyi was quite flattered: "No, no, Mr. Gu, how could you call me Brother Ren? Just be willing to make friends with me, and call me Zhengyi. I am just a few years older than I can, how can I afford such a tribute?"
Gu Ao patted the other party's shoulder: "Hey, you are just from the army. You are 20 years older than me. What's wrong with me? Let's call you brother? Let's not pay attention to that trick! From now on, you will understand that although I am rich, I am not that kind of person. Let's talk about the serious matter first."
Ren Zhengyi had to accept this setting and answered seriously: "Then I'm disrespectful. No matter how correct you are, Motorola's pager is only in Xu, Chang, Jing, and Jing, and Jing's area is gone.
The Municipal Telecommunications Bureau has to cover several more districts. At least the south signal must cover the county center of Hujiang County, and to the north, Zhabei and General District. So much contracted projects can be completed in about the middle of the year. I haven’t figured out the follow-up plan yet. Some comrades in the army said they would introduce me to the project, and maybe there would be a set up, but I don’t really want to go there. After all, the major is not necessarily appropriate. We have learned so many techniques and we must have a place to use it."
While listening, Gu Ao roughly outlined the map in his mind.
The Zhaolong Hotel he lives in is roughly located in the core area of the Xu family business district in later generations. However, it is only 1983 years old and there are only three floors of old-fashioned villas around it. The greening is very good and the proportion of green space is very high.
As for the Jingchuang District in the north, it belonged to the absolute city center of Hujiang in later generations, but it is still relatively northerly now, and the people of Zhabei will never be regarded as urban people by Hujiang people. These core citizens who will be included in the Jingchuang District in decades are now a "Xingwoning".
Similarly, the "Hujiang County" in the south is Min and Song, who were later generations. When people there walked into the city along the Humin Road in later generations, they would say that they wanted to "go to Hujiang", which shows that they did not regard themselves as Hujiang people at all.
The area that Ren Zhengyi, the contractor, needs to cover is relatively small, at least much smaller than that of the Hujiang city in later generations. No wonder he will have no work soon.
Gu Ao's mind changed and took the opportunity to test Shi En as an inspector's leader: "Then what do you think Motorola's product technology is like? Are you interested in taking over the construction of these network equipment in the future for a long time?
I believe that Motorola will not be satisfied with developing only in Hujiang. With Motorola's expansion speed, it is still fine to support a small team of infrastructure engineering troop. Now Motorola has something to ask me, so it is not difficult for me to give Mr. Wen the second year of high school."
He didn't want to interfere too much in Ren Zhengyi's life trajectory.
On the other hand, it was because of Ren Zhengyi that he first came into contact with the communications industry, and he did not develop his interest or determination.
If Gu Ao directly says to the other party: "I think you are a genius in communication, I want to support you and invest in a partnership to do business."
That would definitely be suspected, and he thought Gu Ao was in a bad mind.
On the other hand, Ren Zhengyi's ability and domestic foundation are not enough to enter the wireless communications industry.
Since this is the case, it is better to provide Ren Zhengyi with an environment, sell personal favors, and let him start from online construction and slowly cultivate his abilities, vision and goals.
Ren Zhengyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you can keep doing supporting construction for Motorola, that's the best. Mr. Gu, you are a big shot and can talk to the Galwen family. Of course, there will be no problem if you do it."
Gu Ao thought for a while: "Then do you have the capital?"
Ren Zhengyi was a little stunned: "What do you need for capital?"
Gu Ao: "You are just a contractor, how can I help you? At least you have to register a engineering company. Then I will strike while the iron is hot this time and ask Mr. Galwen to sign a long-term contract with this engineering company, such as subcontracting the technical construction of Huapu.com to this company in the next two or three years."
Ren Zhengyi was a little timid: "If I... ask my friend to borrow, I can probably get about 20,000 yuan."
Gu Ao shrugged indifferently: "Twenty thousand yuan is a bit irrelevant, let's do this, I'll lend you a little. It's not an equity investment. In the future, your construction company will have to pay me back, which is still interest.
I don’t want to share your little profit in construction. I believe that doing construction for Motorola is just your temporary way of making a living, and it will not be your ideal. In the future, if you have other ideas, or if you understand the future of the industry and figure out your own way, you are welcome to come to me again."
Of course, this construction company will not grow into the future Xiawei Technology. It is just a stepping stone for a contractor to cross the river. It is used by the team to open your eyes and hone your eyes.
So of course Gu Ao doesn’t have to talk about shares in this small company, just borrow money to keep personal favors.
Ren Zhengyi was very moved: "You... aren't you afraid of lending me money, and you can't pay it if you lose money? Why are you helping me?"
"My girlfriend and many of my loyal bodyguards who helped me die. They were all disarmament from the troops. I can understand the difficulties of the laid-off people. And I think you are all steadily doing things, working cleanly, and it is not easy for infrastructure engineering soldiers to withdraw. If you guys are just trying to get you, I believe I won't misread the people."
