Rebirth, I want to be a prince

Chapter 3 The [-]G Era Opens (Please Subscribe!)

2007, October.

The south has gradually begun to feel the warmth brought by the sun, and the south of the Yangtze River has also begun to smell the breath of spring.

It is finally time to take off the heavy cotton-padded jacket and down jacket. Stone Group is also preparing for the release of their first pure 3G electronic product. This will be another spring for Stone Group.

At the end of 04, Shi Weixian became the governor of Jiangdong Province as he wished, and Shi Lei became the number one young man in Jiangdong.Of course, Shi Lei wouldn't take this kind of fame that he would never get on the stage too much.But this kind of feeling is still very good, and he can finally understand the feeling of those invincible young and old in that life. It turns out that the feeling of fighting for father is really good, not to mention that Shi Lei himself is now the hottest in the domestic economic circle Characters, none of them.

Regarding the application of 3G network, the State Council and the Ministry of Information Industry have long planned. While Shi Lei released a series of music playback products, he did not forget his efforts in this area.

According to the original historical trajectory, domestic 3G was only put into trial operation in 2008, and it was not officially put into commercial use until the end of the year.And about this point is the development plan that the central ministries and commissions have basically set up long before the establishment of the 3G standard, and it is not easy to change it.

But it's hard to change doesn't mean it can't be changed at all, at least Shi Lei has been working tirelessly for this.Moreover, Shi Lei is confident that the arrival of the 3G era can be brought forward. The reason is that in this world, there have already been more variables of the stone group, a private enterprise with a profound influence, and, as early as the last century, Shi Lei and China Unicom have been working together. A test network in two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River has been built.If Shi Lei is the ordinary human being mentioned by Archimedes, and 3G is the huge earth, then this experimental network in two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River will become the fulcrum that Archimedes needs.With this fulcrum, Shi Lei felt that it was not impossible for him to move the 3G world.

After these years, Fang Zida also became the general manager of China Unicom from the original general manager of Jiangdong Unicom.Since Shi Lei told him about the disadvantages of m's development in China early on, he has always attached more importance to the development of the g|m model, or at least among the top management of China Unicom, he expressed deep confidence in the prospects of m Worrying, and all this is not something he can change alone, so when the 3g standard was established, he has been focusing on the development of the 3g network.This includes technology research and development and continuous communication with the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Information Office and other government departments, trying to get the 3G license issued earlier, so that the domestic 3G network can be launched as soon as possible.

Fang Zida's efforts were not in vain, or his and Shi Lei's joint efforts were not in vain. In 06, the experimental network in two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River, which had been completely completed, was upgraded with the technical support of Stone Group, and then again Obtain the approval document for the pilot operation of the 3G network issued by the State Information Office. In May 06, China Unicom had already started the stage of 5G network trial operation in two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River, and Shi Lei also took the opportunity to let Stone Group release the first mobile phone in the history of Stone Group, which is directly a 3G smartphone. Moreover, it is limited to sales in Jiangdong, Shenpu and Hangnan regions.

By the end of 06, in view of the envy of other regions in China that the two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River had entered the 3G era, China Unicom and its branches in other regions began to apply to the headquarters to open the 3G network. After several meetings, officials from the State Information Office and the Ministry of Information Industry submitted a report to the State Department on fully launching 3G network operations across the country, which was quickly approved.

In December 06, the State Information Office and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly carried out a large-scale reorganization of five domestic telecom operators. China Unicom's m business will be handed over to China Telecom to continue to operate.

The five domestic telecom operators have merged into three, and the State Information Office and the Ministry of Information Industry have also issued three licenses for 3G network operation, which are operated by China Telecom, China Unicom and China Telecom with different standards of 3G networks.China announced to the world that China has entered the 3G era in an all-round way. On January 07, 1, all regions in China, 1.And it takes into account two 3g network standards, which are divided into g version and version two.

In fact, the first mobile phone released by the Stone Group has already caused a great sensation. Its operating system is completely different from the mainstream mobile phone market at that time, and its extremely simple and beautiful appearance has become the target of r chasers.It's a pity that at that time Stone Group, under Shi Lei's instruction, insisted that rne was only sold within the scope of Jiangdong, Shenpu and Hangnan provinces and one city, which even caused many non-local users to make a special trip to these two provinces and one city to buy this product cell phone.

The industry’s comment on this is that Stone Group has used the hunger marketing sales strategy to the extreme, and the so-called restricted area sales are unnecessary. This mobile phone does not mean that it can only use 3G network and does not support 2G network downlink.But this questioning voice is obviously very pale. For r fans, they don't care what kind of marketing methods Shi Lei adopts. What they care about is whether they can own an rne mobile phone.

Those with sufficient economic strength already owned rne's first-generation mobile phones. They may ask friends in two provinces and one city in the south of the Yangtze River to help them purchase, or even go to these places by themselves just to buy rne.And r fans who lack these abilities finally got their first rne mobile phone at the beginning of 07.

For Apple, this is undoubtedly a tactic that makes things worse. Stone Group's mobile phones are very similar to Apple's design features in terms of appearance and internal design.Of course, it does not mean that the appearance is the same, but only the design concept is similar. As for the detailed design of the appearance, the two phones can be clearly distinguished at a glance.

But after seeing Stone Group's rne design, Jobs knew that Shi Lei's next third-generation rne mobile phone would probably be more and more similar to Apple's design.There is no way around this. If you want to combine the two extreme features of simplicity and beauty, the final design cannot be too different. In particular, rne is the same as Apple's ne. There is only one button called the me button.

Even sometimes, Jobs would suspect that Shi Lei was sent by the heavens to deliberately oppose him, but he would never know that all of Shi Lei's design concepts were actually plagiarizing Apple. To put it seriously, it was business theft. It's confidential.However, in this world, it is impossible for anyone to find evidence that Shi Lei stole business secrets. All his theft process was completed in his own brain.

Obviously, in this lifetime, whether in the market of music players or mobile phones, Stone Group has successfully replaced Apple as the most popular manufacturer of digital products on the planet.In fact, since Stone Group's first-generation m3 player began to sell well, Stone Group's market share in this market has been firmly ranked first in the world.Rao even Apple has launched a crazy market counterattack, which has achieved remarkable results, but it still cannot shake the absolute dominance of Stone Group.

By the end of 05, the total annual sales of Stone Group's digital music player products had exceeded 5000 million units. Even if Apple caught up, it was only one-fifth of the sales of the r-series player products. Brands, including Sony and other established lmn manufacturers, add up to less than one-tenth of Stone Group's annual sales.

After Stone Group released rne, smartphones have clearly become the mainstream in today's world, and in the short period of two months from January 07 to March 1, the sales of rne quickly surpassed the sales of smartphones from samsung and nokia The sales volume in the same period, and its sales volume is still showing an extremely strong upward trend, the production capacity of Stone Group obviously cannot keep up with the market's digestion capacity.

Regarding the media's criticism of Stone Group's production capacity, Shi Lei is not in a hurry at all. He is very clear that it is not that Stone Group does not have enough production capacity. The current assembly line of Stone Group in China is already sufficient to cope with the current huge market.It's just that he has been doing sales control.Shi Lei understood very well that Apple's success in that life was not only due to its design philosophy, nor was it because Apple's products were easy to use. Marketing methods definitely occupied the most important position.Maintaining the hunger of the market is the essence of hunger marketing. If you blindly meet the needs of the market, it will not take a few years, and many users will start to lose because of the over-exploitation of the market. The freshness of human beings is limited. , so it is necessary to keep it hungry for a long time to ensure the freshness of r powder.

But no matter what, according to the degree of market demand and the sales report of the first two and a half months, there will be absolutely no problem in completing the annual sales of 500 million units.Because it is only a single style, compared with other famous mobile phone brands that not only produce smart phones, but also sell a large number of non-smart phones, Stone Group will definitely export to several streets in terms of total sales, but only from the perspective of the smart phone market. In other words, even if rne fails to become the world's number one smartphone in terms of sales in 07, it will definitely be able to achieve this goal in the coming year.

Shi Lei wasn't complacent because the sales volume in the first two months had surpassed that of Samsung and Nokia. He knew very well that he was taking advantage of the new release, and once Samsung and Nokia released new smartphones, they would definitely increase in sales. Catch up and it is very likely that it will surpass rne's sales.

This is the fact that there is no way around it. No matter how successful Shi Lei is in the music player market, Shi Lei cannot make the sales of the first mobile phone released by Stone Group for worldwide sales quickly exceed giants such as Samsung and Nokia. You know, the combined sales of these two companies in the global mobile phone market in 06 exceeded [-] million, and Nokia accounted for more than [-]% of it.Even though smartphones are not the best-selling part of these two companies, their strength in this market for many years is still not something Stone Group can surpass overnight.

As for Apple, Jobs can only hope that after the release of their mobile phone this year, the annual sales volume will exceed 100 million units.

Early in the morning, Meng Qiuhua called Shi Lei, complaining that he didn't go back to eat for a long time.Not only Shi Lei, but Shi Weixian became the governor of Jiangdong Province, for more than two years, the days when he ate at home were few and far between.It's not that there are many entertainments, but that the work is heavy. Shi Weixian is often busy in the office and forgets the time to eat. If his secretary is not conscientious enough, he will prepare meals for Shi Weixian early. When Shi Weixian's work is over, he will take the opportunity to bring in the food. I am afraid that Shi Weixian's body will have collapsed long ago.

Meng Qiuhua told Shi Lei that Shi Weixian promised to come back for dinner tonight, so he ordered Shi Lei to go back for dinner as well.But Meng Qiuhua was still worried about Shi Weixian's promise, so he asked Shi Lei to leave work earlier, and then went directly to the provincial party committee to find Shi Weixian, and tied him home no matter what he was busy with.

Shi Lei also felt a little guilty about this, so he agreed on the phone.

Meng Qiuhua was still nagging and nagging on the other end of the phone, but Shi Lei didn't find it annoying, he just turned on the hands-free phone, put it on the table, and listened to Meng Qiuhua's nagging.

"Son, you are busy with the company all day now, and your dad is also staying at the provincial party committee all day, and mom is really chatting at home. Otherwise, mom will retire internally, and then you can see what positions in your company are suitable for me Yes. In this way, mom can at least see you every day, and you can also eat meals cooked by mom."

Shi Lei smiled and said: "I am in favor of retiring internally, but it will be exempted when you come to our company. I know you miss your son. Come on, I promise you that I will go home for dinner as much as possible in the future, and bring your daughter-in-law and fu .Actually, I think you might as well move to my place to live. Living in the Provincial Party Committee compound is always awkward, and people from official circles come in and out."

"Your dad doesn't agree, but I really want to live there... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's discuss it after you come back, and see if you can convince your dad. By the way, son, I'll take a look at your company It seems to be on the news very frequently recently, why do you feel that you can see your company's name dangling no matter where you go, tell my mother, how much is your company worth now?"

Shi Lei laughed, and said, "Mom, why do you care about this?"

"Tch! My son's money, as a mother, can't I care about it?"

"Yes, yes, of course I can care, but to be honest, Mom, I really don't know how much money I have. It's even harder to say the company's value. It involves brand value and actual value. But I estimate that I personally His wealth is almost approaching 100 billion U.S. dollars."

Rao had already imagined that Shi Lei was very rich, but when he suddenly heard the figure of 100 billion US dollars, Meng Qiuhua was shocked: "What? 100 billion US dollars!? Son, you really have so much money ?”

"Theoretically, there won't be too many that can be taken out immediately, and the cash in the bank is about [-] million U.S. dollars. In fact, it's not too much."

"Son, you are so angry now, don't talk about 100 billion US dollars, just the [-] million US dollars in your bank, my father and I will not be able to earn it in ten lifetimes." Meng Qiuhua blamed, and then imagined in his mind How much is [-] million U.S. dollars converted into RMB, and how long will it take if they are all [-] yuan?

"It's not that I'm loud, but I'm still a billionaire today, but tomorrow I might have nothing left. You can always hear about this kind of thing in the mall. Mom, I don't want to chat with you Yes, the company still has something to do."

"Okay, okay, you are busy with your work, this child, I don't know what to do when you have so much money. You must come back for dinner tonight!" Meng Qiuhua warned again worriedly, and finally hung up the phone.

As soon as Meng Qiuhua hung up the phone, another call came in from the other side.

Shi Lei looked at the number, and it turned out to be a high-level executive of the InterContinental Group. After thinking about it, he understood the purpose of this person calling him. Obviously, domestic real estate is now on a downward trend, but Shi Lei knows that this declining The curve will rise again in about 08, showing an upward trend again.InterContinental Group has just reached a contract with the Zifeng Building Management Company to purchase the 40 floors. Although the payment has not yet been fully paid, the contract has been signed. They must pay according to the amount in the contract, but it is only two months. Over time, the property prices in that area dropped by more than [-]%.

At the end of 06, the National Tourism Administration finally passed the new foreign-related hotel star rating method, which clearly stipulates the standard of six-star hotels, and the Intercontinental Hotel on the Zifeng Building has become the first in China to be rated six-star hotels. For the ultra-luxury hotel with a star license, according to the original agreement, Zifeng Building Management Company began to contact InterContinental Group about the sale and purchase of the 40-storey real estate. After too long negotiations, the two parties reached a unified price , a press conference was held soon, the sales contract was signed, and InterContinental also quickly made the first payment in place.However, just a few days after the down payment here, the domestic real estate market began to decline...

Something happened at home today, actually it wasn't something that required me to run around, it was just that it was rather troublesome, so it directly caused me to worry.Yes, it's not that I'm lazy or I have something to do, it's just that my mind is messed up and I'm typing.But today's content has basically ended the jumps and transitional plots of the previous few days, and it is obviously not suitable to code with a disordered mind at this time to enter a new story.So, sorry, that's all for today.However, I promise, [-] words tomorrow.

sorry again
