Chapter 615 The torrent of technology(1/2)
Capital, Xicheng District, connecting to headquarters.
As a newly established enterprise, even a central enterprise can only temporarily rent a house and work in the Financial Street.
Of course, since it is a state-owned enterprise... the specifications of the chairman's office cannot be lost.
After all, Yang Weichang is now enjoying the treatment of a deputy department.
In the 40-square-meter large office, there are two rows of large bookshelf that are filled with various economic and electronic works, and dark furniture shows its grandeur.
"Xiaoshan, your move is to get the chestnut from the fire."
Because of the rapid development of connectivity, Yang Weichang has been very proud recently. He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, held the thermos, and happily rushed to Su Yuanshan Road.
When he saw the news released by Yuanxin, he saw it at a glance. Yuanxin hoped to use cooperation with two Thai telecommunications companies to fully occupy Thailand's telecommunications field, while also using this as a springboard to achieve expansion and penetration into the entire Southeast Asia.
Su Yuanshan sat opposite him, shrugged and said with a smile: "There is no way. If some domestic communication companies do not support us, we can only develop abroad."
"Hey! You boy! Who doesn't support you?"
"I don't know, I didn't say anything - I don't know whose business hall puts domestic mobile phones in the corners, and promotes foreign brands in all the conspicuous places."
Yang Weichang laughed: "Since it is a market behavior, we must follow the market rules. Didn't this what you reminded me at the beginning? Why? Have you forgotten it yourself?"
"Uh..." Su Yuanshan thought that he always kept saying this, but unexpectedly shot himself in the foot with a stone, and said angrily: "Anyway, I have to give domestic brands some way out."
Yang Weichang knew that this guy was joking - how precious is Su Yuanshan's time? How could he come to his office to pretend to be pitiful?
And from the perspective of connectivity, there is a reason why Yang Weichang chose to support foreign brands in the business hall.
Liantong has only been established for less than a year and has only been officially operated for half a year. Although it was caught off guard by the initial raid - yes, China Unicom's mission was to break the monopoly of telecom and mobile. (This is also true in history)
But after all, Liantong is just a company that was established. Even if it is ordered, it is still not easy to quickly open up the situation.
Fortunately, Liantong has no burden, and has set a goal again, seized the wonderful opportunity of mobile phone price reduction this year, and obtained support from international brands, which has made a beautiful breakthrough in the past six months.
Up to now, the number of mobile phone users in Connect has exceeded 3 million, and it still maintains a monthly growth rate of 400,000 users - this growth rate is approaching the big brother of Mobile.
As for supporting the development of mobile phones in domestic brands...
From Yang Weichang's perspective, except for Yuanxin, other brands have only two situations to gain policy preference.
——Either they are about to be wiped out, and if the country does not take action, it will cut off the flames of mid- and low-end independent mobile phone brands.
——Either they can transform in competition, even if they cannot reach the level of the far core, they must at least have the power to fight.
This attitude has a particularly appropriate and fashionable word in later generations.
Raising a Gu.
Sure enough, Su Yuanshan quickly said seriously: "Uncle Yang, since you use my words to block me, then don't double standards - Yuanxin has plans to support domestic brands. At most, domestic mobile phones can come up with models that meet the range price. At that time, don't use any foreign brand, naturally noble or something, it's boring... They will bully friendly competitors without foundation, and have the ability to get high-end prices and Yuanxin are positive!"
Yang Weichang held back his laughter and nodded one after another: "Okay, okay, I'm fair, right?"
"Hehe!" Su Yuanshan relaxed, crossed his legs, and smiled slightly: "Then let's talk about the serious matter."
“…”
"Uncle Yang, hk is back, do you have no idea?" Su Yuanshan's eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was full of temptation.
Yang Weichang was slightly stunned and said seriously: "You said."
"Uncle Yang, it's not me, it's you..."
Yang Weichang pretended to glar at Su Yuanshan and pondered. After a moment, he slowly said: "We have indeed investigated the hk market, but you also know that hk is not as good as the mainland. Without the Tower Group to help us - all business depends on us to carry out our own business. Even with you Yuanxin, we dare not enter rashly at this extraordinary stage at this time."
"Don't talk about us, telecom and mobile have also tightened resources recently, for fear of financial storms that will affect HK."
Su Yuanshan nodded to express his understanding.
State-owned enterprises, especially central enterprises such as connected enterprises, can rely on policies to open up and expand other things at home.
Once you go out to sea, you have to face real capital and cunning enemies.
Especially now that HK has just returned, not to mention that Liantong is a small company with less than 5 million users. Even a "old" communications company like Mobile with tens of millions of users has to be obediently circulated when it comes to HK.
For example, mobile’s HK fee is only half of the current domestic fee - so mobile is scolded by users in Luohu District every day.
You should know that one g and two systems will last for 50 years.
"But we're back to what you said just now." Su Yuanshan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said softly: "Uncle Yang, whether it's a fire or a wealth or a risk. Under the financial storm, all local industries have tightened in an all-round way. It's the time for our new forces to land strongly. After passing this village, it's probably difficult to find this store."
"Now the Thai baht collapses, and the financial crisis swept across Southeast Asia and even the entire Asia. There are only a few moves of international hot money going back and forth with those governments that hold the Washington consensus."
"International hot money builds short positions, then borrows money, creates momentum, and smashes the market. What about those governments? There are only two tricks, using foreign exchange to take over and raise interest rates. But you also see that the consequence of raising interest rates is that the high demand for capital and circulation areas of the stock market, the real estate market, are under pressure - and then international hot money takes two steps to short in multiple fields. Finally, the government runs out of foreign exchange and announces surrender. The international hot money is exhausted and the reward is two-monthly and leaves."
"When we go to expand, let's not talk about anything else, will the labor cost be reduced by rent alone?"
After hearing Su Yuanshan say a big swagger, Yang Weichang slowly shook his head: "What if the economy cannot recover for a long time, what if people lose their consumption power?"
"Uncle Yang, don't forget, what do we do." Su Yuanshan laughed: "We are basic service providers! What is basic? It is the kind that cannot be separated from."
Yang Weichang smiled and nodded in agreement, but then said: "But Xiaoshan, you are based on the judgment that HK is about to encounter a financial crisis and cannot resist it. Now... there is no sign that the financial crisis broke out in HK, and HK will not be able to resist it."
"Don't worry, how could international hot money miss HK?" Su Yuanshan pursed: "HK is the signboard of the financial free port. Even if the HK government has foreign exchange, it will not dare to end up rashly - if it only returns to the Hong Kong government and intervenes vigorously, I am afraid that the road ahead will only become narrower and narrower in the future."
Yang Weichang frowned slightly.
Suddenly he looked at Su Yuanshan: "Are Xinghai Funds also together?"
"...Don't blame the good guys!" Su Yuanshan flatly denied: "Xinghai Fund is not a hedge fund, Xinghai is playing with advanced forward investment."
Yang Weichang: “…”
"So, Uncle Yang, be prepared if you have any ideas, Yuanxin will support you at any time - by the way, bringing domestic brands out of the sea."
Yang Weichang nodded slowly: "You are right. Judging from the current situation, the country is indeed much more stable than the neighboring countries and regions. If the surrounding areas can recover quickly after this financial crisis, it is indeed a good time for us to go out."
"Don't worry, technology leads the economy. One is mobile communications and the other is the Internet, two emerging industries are full of vitality. What can't be carried by the torrent of technology under the huge waves?"
"In our eyes of technology, those economic experts who change their careers and become carpenters will not hinder the social driving force brought by the technological revolution..." Su Yuanshan said frantically: "So, listen to me, it's absolutely right!"
“…”
Listening to Su Yuanshan’s nonsense, Yang Weichang, who was born in the economy, was so amused and laughed: “Go to yours!”

This time, Su Yuanshan went to Beijing, of course, not to instigate Yang Weichang to advance to HK, and to call Qu a "small thing" to mobile phone partners.
He came to inspect BOE.
Chen Jing has been flying everywhere in Southeast Asian countries recently, so that while reassuring partners, she is also seeking opportunities to gain the greatest benefit.
Therefore, only Su Yuanshan came here in person.
After all, BOE has a big surprise for him.
The next day, when Su Yuanshan arrived at BOE, Wang Dongsheng and technical representatives from Sony and Fujitsu went far away.
"Let's go, I don't want the red tape, and there are no outsiders." Su Yuanshan quickly shook hands with several people, and hurriedly walked in: "Let me see the results."
Seeing this, the few people couldn't stop smiling and rushed to the laboratory with Su Yuanshan.
After several urgings from Su Yuanshan and Chen Jing is also paying attention at any time, BOE's pace has suddenly accelerated in the past two years. Not only has it completed a first-generation line factory and a second-generation line factory ahead of schedule, a third-generation line factory is about to be completed - this third-generation line factory is specifically aimed at the PDA market that is about to become popular.
The division of generation lines is based on the size of the cut glass substrate.
For example, the specification of the first generation line is 320*400 (mm), which is often used for cutting products below 9 inches.
In addition to catching up in generation lines and investment scale, BOE's technology has not fallen behind. Relying on the efforts of three cobblers and the interference of Yuanxin, BOE has invested a lot of energy in the technology used in mobile phones.
This time, they asked Su Yuanshan to check the color driving results of the small-sized display.
...
As an engineer turned on the circuit, a display screen about 5 cm long and 4 cm wide flashed for a moment, and then the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue were displayed, and then there was a simple color level.
Su Yuanshan pursed his lips, his eyes falling on the electric board behind the 2.5-inch display screen, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated.
These guys... are indeed lab products.
"How is it? 256 colors." Wang Dongsheng smiled at Su Yuanshan: "When using it on a mobile phone, it is a color screen mobile phone, which is very beautiful!"
"Yes... it's beautiful. But what protocol do you use? And... can you install this thing into your phone?" Su Yuanshan pointed to the driver board and said laughing and crying: "Are you afraid that you didn't just disassemble the driver panel of the monitor?"
"Uh... no." Wang Dongsheng saw that Su Yuanshan was wrong and explained with a smile: "It was because there was no ready-made agreement that we had been struggling for a long time."
After listening to Wang Dongsheng introducing the origin of the very industrial-style driving board behind, Su Yuanshan realized that it was still 1997...
It means that not to mention the DSI protocol, even the mipi standard committee in later generations will not even be embryos.
In later generations, any mobile phone will be exposed to the MiPI standard - a standard organization initiated by Arm, Nokia, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments in 2004, aiming to provide a common protocol standard and solution for mobile communication devices - to be precise, mobile phones.
This will reduce the production threshold and costs of equipment manufacturers and provide compatibility solutions.
In the end, the number of members of this standard organization expanded to dozens, all of which were famous big shots in the industry.
The mipi protocol is all-encompassing, such as camera interface CSI, display interface DSI, RF interface DIGRF, microphone/speaker interface Slimbus, etc.
What it means now is that BOE and its group have developed a display interface protocol specifically for mobile phones.
"Uh..." Su Yuanshan looked at several slightly depressed engineers, especially several Niguo engineers, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I understand wrongly, I apologize to you."
