[ps: I saw a reader question, why Boss Jia could call Dong Mingzhu during a press conference. It’s very simple, as long as Daqian installs a CDMA base station on site, this is the normal operation of all press conferences.

When Apple held a press conference for the first generation of mobile phones, because during the acting stage, the mobile phone lost all kinds of links and died three times just after crashing, let alone bugs such as app crashes. So when Jobs was presenting, he did not directly look at the mobile phone screen. The video played on the big screen was actually recorded in advance, and Boss Qiao just cooperated with the acting.]

Director Liu, the Mobile Communications Administration of Magic City, just after he started working, received a report from his secretary, saying that he was the director of the business department of Warwick Company and was here in person, hoping to talk.

"If the people from Warwick don't go to the General Administration to talk to me, why are they here to do?" Director Liu touched his beard and muttered.

In fact, the circle of mobile communications is so big now. Everyone knows the things in the circle very well, which naturally includes the hard layout of Daqian Group and Warwick for the CDMA format.

Everyone in the entire circle knows that Daqian and Warwick are CDMA schools. After all, whether they are second-generation base stations or mobile phones, they are CDMA formats, which is completely bound to CDMA.

But people in the circle also know that the new director of the General Administration is from GSM, which cannot be said to be wrong. After all, the second-generation base stations used by 90% of the countries in the world are GSM communication base stations. China will definitely be in line with the world in the future, so it is not impossible to use GSM base stations like the world.

In Director Liu's eyes, these are actually not important. Anyway, whether it is cmda or gsm, they are second-generation communication technology and can meet the requirements of the country. This is enough, and nothing else matters.

But then again, the General Administration is the General Administration after all. As long as the General Administration issues a document and decides which base station to use, everyone can keep up. This is the safest, there will be no problems, and there will be no zz risks.

"Director, you can't see the Warwick people!" the secretary asked in a low voice.

"See! Why don't you see me? At least listen to what others say!" The director smiled. In fact, he didn't care about Warwick. What he really cared about was the Da Qian behind Warwick.

I heard that this is the richest man in China with a saint behind his back. He dares to ignore Warwick, but he will never dare to ignore Daqian.

So soon, Director Liu and Manager Wang of Warwick met in the office!

"I don't know what kind of reason is there for Manager Wang to come to us!" Director Liu asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I heard that the Communications Administration of Magic City plans to purchase 200 second-generation communication base stations recently, and then build a second-generation communication network in Magic City. Our Warwick Company is the most comprehensive and leading company in the country's communication base station technology. Even if our technology is the whole world, it is not much different. Therefore, our Warwick Company hopes to receive this business!" Manager Wang said humbly.

"I knew you came for this!" Director Liu smiled and said, "This is easy to say. Our branch is also preparing for this matter. We plan to learn from the General Administration and hold a bidding for communication companies around the world. The best ones will be chosen!"

"Director, this actually doesn't require any bidding. We at Warwick can guarantee that the quality and stability of our communication base stations can be comparable to the second-generation communication base stations of any international enterprise, and our price is less than half that of the other party!"

"You must know about the 50 Nokia GSM base stations purchased in Shancheng a few months ago. They were bought for foreign exchange for $200,000 each! This price is really too expensive!" Manager Wang said.

"Oh, then how much does Warwick cost?"

"We only need 500,000 RMB!!" Manager Wang said gritting his teeth.

"Just 500,000 yuan!" Director Liu was indeed scared by the price. US$200,000, which is almost 1.7 million yuan. The price is more than three times more expensive than Warwick. The price gap is really too terrifying. No matter how bidding is, Nokia cannot have an advantage in price!

Thinking of the pitiful funds granted to him by the Magic City Government, Director Liu was a little shaken on the spot.

"But that is Nokia's base station after all, it is the best communications company in the world. It's normal for their base stations to be sold at a higher price..." Director Liu said so, although he was a little shaken in his heart.

"But Director Liu, do you know that when Nokia was trading, it specifically explained to the Shancheng Mobile Communications Bureau that they only charge rice dollars, pounds, francs and other mainstream European and American currencies. They will never charge RMB. The 50 units in Shancheng are all bought with real foreign exchange. Do we have so many foreign exchange to buy Nokia's base stations?"

"And what we are collecting in Warwick is RMB. As long as we Chinese people's own currency, we can buy it!" Manager Wang said.

"Only collect foreign exchange!" This time, Director Liu was really hesitant. Although the Magic City granted them some funds, these funds did not have a cent of foreign exchange. Now, although the banks have opened foreign exchange controls, everyone can exchange foreign exchange, but each person has a limit of 100 meters per time, and it can be exchanged up to five times a year.

Moreover, there is a limit on the total amount of exchange per day. Take RM Bank as an example. As long as the exchange rate of rice dollars in a day exceeds 10,000 meters, today's conversation will end. Let's come back tomorrow.

Anyway, to put it bluntly, in order to show its opening up to the outside world, the country had to relax restrictions on foreign exchange exchange. But in fact, the country is poor and does not have so much foreign exchange at all. It can only use these means to control the total amount of foreign exchange exchange, and a collapse occurred.

Although there are some special departments and institutions and enterprises that can get approval slips and exchange large amounts of foreign exchange, they obviously do not have such privileges. The Modu Mobile Communications Administration orders at most more than 100 people in the entire area to exchange foreign exchange in their personal names, but in this way, each person can exchange up to 500 meters of RMB, and 100 people is only 50,000 meters of RMB, which is just enough to buy a quarter of Nokia's base station!

So when Manager Wang said that Nokia's base station must be purchased with foreign exchange, Director Liu was already standing on Warwick's side with one leg.

In fact, Manager Wang made an ambush. Although Nokia is indeed arrogant and domineering to buy all foreign exchange, other communication base station companies are different. For example, Siemens, Toshiba, Qualcomm, and Samsung can all negotiate. Siemens, Qualcomm can accept half of foreign exchange and half of RMB, and Samsung and Toshiba simply accept full RMB payment. Of course, the prices are very touching. If it is converted into RMB, all of them are more than 1 million per unit.

"If we buy 200 units at one time, can you Warwick have any other discounts?" Director Liu was already moved and couldn't help asking.

"Well, our Warwick base stations are sold at cost prices. You know, some special situations of our parent company Daqian, so we absolutely suppress the price to the lowest price for sale. We cannot reduce the price any more..." Manager Wang said, seeing some changes in Director Liu's expression, and immediately said with a smile, "But although the price cannot be reduced, I don't know if the Magic City Mobile Communications Administration is interested in purchasing hundreds more units and directly covering most of the Magic City!"

"Buy hundreds more units, haha, we have no money!" Director Liu sneered and spread his hands.
Chapter completed!
