Attending the school's freshman dinner, Feng Hao finally made a decision.

The second thing is that we donated money to both the college and the school, so the issue of graduation and graduation certificate must not be a big deal.

In the next time, he can devote himself to his career, especially the research and development of Haotian Research Institute.

Feng Hao and the people from Haotian Research Institute prepared relevant materials for network communication together and prepared to negotiate with relevant operators.

It will take a while to get ready.

First of all, it is necessary to fully understand the situation of domestic operators, and secondly, to find the corresponding regulatory authorities to promote them to speed up the opening of 3G operating licenses.

Domestic operators are already conducting research and building 3G networks, and the related technologies are becoming more and more mature, but there is still some work to be done before the actual launch.

As an emerging technology, CDMA and CDMA2000 are rapidly sweeping the world and occupy 20% of the wireless market.

China has already submitted TD-SCDMA to the world, and wants it to become an international standard. This is one of the three most mainstream technologies in the 3G era, along with European WCDMA and American CDMA2000.

It is still waiting for the International Telecommunication Union to officially announce the third-generation mobile communication standard, which will officially become an international standard.

In September 2006, China Mobile occupied most of the mobile phone users. As another operator, China Unicom is of course unwilling to be lonely.

In order to catch up, China Unicom is completely betting on the 3G network, and wants to surpass China Mobile and compete for the top spot of the operator.

For such information and materials, Feng Hao is of course clear.

China Mobile has a large number of mobile phone users, and they are not eager to develop new users, while China Telecom prefers fixed-line and telecommunication services, and of course, PHS services.

Speaking of 3G network, China Unicom is undoubtedly the fastest in domestic research and development, which gives Feng Hao a chance.

On the one hand, China Unicom urgently needs to open up the market and win more new users, and has an urgent need for the market. On the other hand, China Unicom is betting on 3G, and its technology matures relatively quickly.

These conditions are actually beneficial to Haotian Research Institute. After all, if the 3G smartphone of Haotian Research Institute wants to be launched in China and give full play to its 3G characteristics, it must have corresponding supporting conditions, that is, 3G network. condition.

At the beginning of September, Chen Mingyong, Peng Qian, Feng Hao, Chu Lingzhen and others were all preparing.

The four met again to prepare relevant materials and apply to the relevant operators to start 3G testing.

At this time, in Feng Hao's office, the four of them were discussing hotly.

"Mr. Chu, how are you preparing here?"

Feng Hao asked Chu Lingzhen with a smile. At present, this matter is the most critical, and everyone is very concerned about it.

Seeing Feng Hao asking about Chu Lingzhen, Chen Mingyong and Peng Qian also looked sideways.

"Mr. Feng, some information has been collected, especially the 3G situation of the three major domestic operators, foreign operators in Europe and Japan and South Korea. At present, there are three mobile operators in China, namely China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom.

According to domestic data, from last year to the beginning of this year, there were 28.339 million new fixed-line telephone users nationwide, bringing the total to 340.095 million; mobile phone users increased by 33.190 million, bringing the total to 368.015 million. Among them, PHS business, PHS users exceeded 80 million.

Among them, in terms of mobile phone users, China Mobile has the largest number of users, followed by China Unicom, and finally China Telecom, but the PHS business of the telecommunications business is very strong.

According to the information collected, China Mobile and China Unicom are currently preparing to carry out pilot work, but they have not been able to obtain 3G licenses, and it is still difficult to officially launch. "

Recently, Chu Lingzhen has spent a lot of time sorting out information, and the harvest is not small.

"What do you think about these domestic materials?"

Feng Hao raised his hand and motioned for Chu Lingzhen to continue his topic.

At present, what I see is only information, Feng Hao wants to get practical advice from Chu Lingzhen.

"Mr. Feng, China Unicom's 3G R&D and construction are currently the most complete, which is very in line with what we are striving for, followed by China Mobile, we will strive for both.

Of course, the first priority is China Unicom. After all, they pay more attention to the development of 3G, and they also particularly expect that 3G can be used quickly. "

Chu Lingzhen's face was solemn, and he came up with what he had learned one by one.

Although he is relatively optimistic about the conversation with China Unicom, it is all on paper. China Unicom, a well-known company, wants them to develop rapidly, but it is not easy.

Feng Hao nodded slightly when everyone heard the words.

What Chu Lingzhen said was not much different from what they had learned.

So Feng Hao continued to ask: "What do you think about the situation abroad?"

Chu Lingzhen pondered for a while: "The 3G situation abroad is much better than that in China. Our smartphones can be directly adapted to the communication market and sold."

"This is a good proposal. Boss Chen has already arranged for research and development and testing. By the way, Boss Chen, how is your research and development going?"

The foreign market is so huge, especially in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, where there are already complete 3G base stations and communication systems.

It is particularly beneficial for the sales of 3G mobile phones, how could Feng Hao miss this opportunity.

He had arranged for Chen Mingyong to conduct research and development and test it before. When the smartphone was launched, Feng Hao hoped that it would be sold globally!

Of course, foreign sales channels will be difficult, but don’t forget that Haotian Research Institute’s drones are also sold abroad!

There are already similar sales channels, which is undoubtedly very convenient.

Therefore, it is very important to adapt to the international market!

For smartphones and software to be used normally abroad, language and user habits must be the most important places to pay attention.

The language needs to match the local situation, as does the user habits.

"Mr. Feng, it has been adapted to some countries, but there are still many countries that have not adapted, which requires a lot of professional translation."

When Chen Mingyong heard Feng Hao's question, he immediately showed difficulty.

When he was doing MP3 before, he was also exposed to international things, but is it definitely not as complicated as a smartphone.

The difficulty increases exponentially. Fortunately, all R&D engineers have certain international experience, otherwise the difficulty will be even greater!

"Don't be afraid to spend money on personnel, you must do your best! If you need professional translators, then recruit with high salaries!"

For this aspect, Feng Hao is of course willing to spend money. If he wants to do it, he must do his best.

He is also a veteran in the research and development of smartphones, and naturally he knows some situations. There must be many problems in the process of adapting to other countries.

However, as long as you do it seriously, you will definitely do well.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, we will arrange it properly and invest more resources appropriately."

Chen Mingyong naturally promised it, this is what the smartphone R&D center needs to do.

"Then the task this month and next month is to discuss 3G matters and continue to develop smartphones. President Chu and President Peng will discuss with China Mobile and China Unicom respectively, and catch up as soon as possible. As for President Chen, you need to continue Pay attention to the development progress of smartphones.”

Feng Hao then arranged tasks for the three of them, mainly two big things, as for the small things, he didn't need to worry about them.

"Okay, Mr. Feng."

The three immediately responded and answered solemnly.

"Okay, you all go to work."

Feng Hao waved his hand and ended the discussion.

Negotiations between China Unicom and China Mobile have been arranged, and then he will have to negotiate with the government.

At this time, he will have to trouble his future old husband.

Gui Province, Greentown, also needs to become the first batch of 3G pilot cities in China!

This is very important for Haotian Research Institute!



Financial Street, Xicheng District, Kyoto, China Unicom Headquarters.

At this time, China Unicom, whose name was still China United Communications Co., Ltd., had not yet merged with China Netcom and became a new company.

At this time, the old man of China Unicom was always Chang Bing. Chang Bing joined the company in 2004 and has been the chairman of the board.

Chang Bing, who has been employed for almost three years, completely controls China Unicom. Under his helm, China Unicom is developing better and better.

Of course, Chang Bing hopes to make some achievements.

So, he pushed for the merger of China Unicom and China Netcom, which is already underway.

Since this is a matter of asset integration, it involves various aspects and even requires national regulatory consent.

At this moment, Chang Bing has seen hope, actively integrating the market, and the growth of communication business and mobile phone business is very beneficial to this merger.

One of the key places, that is, the application of the 3G network.

If China Unicom achieves double growth of users and revenue by virtue of this network upgrade, it will definitely get a certain number of people to support the merger.

"Chairman Chang, hello, do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Anguo, vice president of China Unicom, just walked into Chang Bing's chairman's office and asked.

"This time I came here mainly to ask you about the research and development and pilot work of 3G. How is the current situation?"

Chang Bing smiled and asked Li Anguo to sit down. This was his close confidant, a general under his command.

"Chairman Chang, our progress is quite smooth. At present, it is already in the actual test, and the research and development of WCDMA technology has been completed."

"Anguo, this speed is not slow, and it's done well. By the way, what about international verification? Can our country pass?"

"We have applied, but the progress may be slow."

"Anguo, we have to speed up the pace and seize the opportunity in the network upgrade in one fell swoop."

Chang Bing couldn't help frowning, and it seemed that he was still stuck in some places.

So he continued to ask: "Is there any news from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology about the 3G license?"

"Chairman Chang, we will speed up the development process and strive to be the first to go online. But regarding the 3G license, the domestic ones seem to be relatively conservative."

This is the case in China, and things are relatively conservative.

It is necessary to carry out certain experiments first, and only when the market becomes more mature and has certain results, will some policies be officially released.

If it is released rashly, there may be some situations, which have to be conservative.

"For the time being, regardless of domestic policies, we need to do our own 3G research and development and pilot projects, and make preparations for base station construction and network construction!"

Chang Bing is also a little dignified. The transition period of the communication industry is coming soon, and China Unicom will definitely have to fight.



Shenzhen, Longgang Huawei headquarters.

As of August 31, 2006, Huawei has signed many commercial contracts, the compound growth of GSM network sales has exceeded 60% for three consecutive years, and the global market share has exceeded 21%.

This is Huawei's achievement. At present, Huawei has gained a firm foothold in the field of communications.

Huawei's business is mostly from abroad, including Europe, America, Australia and other countries.

On the one hand, it is service awareness, on the other hand, it has strong technology, and the most important thing is cost performance.

"Mr. Ren, China is already preparing to build 3G base stations. Do we have a chance?"

Ding Yun is the president of Huawei's communications business department. At this moment, he is reporting matters to Ren Zhengfei.

"Ding Yun, our goal is still abroad, and there is little hope in China for the time being."

Ren Zhengfei shook his head. He also wanted to get domestic orders. The key is that these institutions are currently difficult to get involved.

Most of them cooperate with foreign communication giants, such as Ericsson, while domestic enterprises also cooperate with ZTE.

"Mr. Ren, can we adopt a euphemistic approach?"

"Oh, do you have any good advice?"

"Mr. Ren, aren't we developing mobile phones now?? This is an opportunity!"

Ding Yun smiled mysteriously at the moment, as if he had a certain idea in his heart.

"Related to mobile phones? Are you talking about customizing contract phones with domestic operators?!"

Following Ding Yun's words, Ren Zhengfei's brain moved quickly, and he soon came to his senses.

The contract phone model is particularly popular abroad. Mobile phone manufacturers cooperate with mobile phone operators, one party makes specially-made mobile phones, and the other party sells them.

If this model is applied domestically, this is also possible.

"Yes, it is to refer to foreign models and cooperate with domestic operators to customize contract machines."

Ding Yun responded to Ren Zhengfei affirmatively, with a smile on his face.

"This idea is not bad, it is equivalent to increasing some users for the operator, which may open up some cooperation in communication."

Ren Zhengfei pondered for a while, and couldn't help but admire it.

It's really a model that might give it a shot at the competition.

He knows that ZTE has won successively in China Unicom's CDMA network bidding, and its market share has increased from 7.55% in the first phase to 14.44% in the second phase and 21.23% in the third phase. In the field of CDMA terminals, ZTE also topped the list.

Next year, China Unicom's CDMA network upgrade to 3G will cost tens of billions of yuan. This may be an excellent opportunity!

"Yes, we can take this opportunity to share a share of the domestic cake."

Ding Yun also showed a smile at the moment, he has always been peeping on the domestic market.

"Well, discuss this with Chengdong. After all, he is in charge of the mobile phone business."

Ren Zhengfei nodded with satisfaction, this capable general is still very capable.
