Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

Twenty-eighth.

Academician Mi gave Tang Yichen another surprise before the arrival of the millennium.

The smartphone research project team successfully implanted the operating system into a chip.

What does this mean?

This means Tang Yichen's operating system can be used on mobile phones. What's the next step?

All that’s missing is a mobile phone internet connection.

And if Tang Yichen remembers correctly, the domestic mobile dream network will be launched next year.

By then, the Internet will truly begin to integrate with mobile phones.

Of course, Huaxing is already working hard to promote progress in this area.

Huaxing has developed both the software and hardware for mobile phone networking, but the domestic mobile network infrastructure does not meet the requirements.

To this end, Huaxing started negotiating with Zhongxin Communications Company as early as June.

If they want to invest, Huaxing will participate in the investment, and Tang Xionghua will also personally inject capital.

But this kind of negotiation is really troublesome and time-consuming.

So far, the negotiation progress has remained stuck there.

"It looks like I'll have to postpone my return for a few days. I happen to be in Shenzhen, so I'll go and talk to Zhong Xin in person this time!"

That night, Tang Yichen and his father chatted online using PP.

The father and son trust their own software more than the phone.

Looking at the text from his father, Tang Yichen typed something quickly and replied with a line of words.

"Okay, Dad, come on, try to win it. The more shares you can get, the better."

"Ok!"

Tang Xionghua didn't reply too loudly, but a single "hmm" made Tang Yichen full of confidence.

Tang Yichen was not in a hurry before, because he thought that it would take at least two or three years for Academician Mi to develop the chip.

Who knew they were so awesome that they made it in just over a year?

This surprised Tang Yichen.

At the same time as the accident, other places must also speed up.

The person in charge of Huaxing’s negotiations needs to be changed.

After all, the representatives of Huaxing cannot directly contact the top management of the new company. Every time they negotiate, they have to wait for the other party to come back to report and then wait for the other party to attend a meeting.

Well, maybe the other party has this process, maybe not.

But anyway.

This is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient.

Tang Xionghua happened to be in Shenzhen now and contacted the chairman of Zhongxin Communications Company directly.

With Tang Xionghua's status and identity, he can definitely talk to him face to face.

There are some things that the people below may not be able to handle well, or may even take a long time, but when the leaders of both sides get together, they will be able to complete them.

Maybe if we have some tea together or play a round of golf together, the matter can be settled.

Of course, if the negotiations really fail, the Tang family might really find another way.

For example, acquiring stocks of new companies in Hong Kong and the mainland.

Alternatively, they could mobilize resources directly and create a new basic communications company in a joint venture with the state.

It’s just that if they really do that, it’s not certain whether the local government has the courage to do so.

Even if there is, the Tang family may have to withdraw all the funds invested in the US stock market and the Internet market, and then invest all of them in it at once, instead of looking for other options.

Of course, Tang Yichen has made up his mind. If the other party really refuses to budge and he is forced to leave, he will be willing to take back all the money from the rice stock.

Of course, you can also try another approach and borrow money from the bank to support the company.

But no matter what, the Tang family will inevitably accelerate the development of basic communications.

2G now, and 3G, 4G, and 5G in the future.

In fact, they are all radio communication technologies, including the technology researched by Lao Tangjia Communications Company, which is the future 4G.

Now, our country has actually started to lay out 3G, so the 4G researched by the Tang family has not yet been put to use.

Of course, the main reason is that at present, let alone 4G, 2G is of little use in China, and mobile phones cannot connect to the Internet.

Broadband Internet and wireless Internet are two different things.

In other words, one is wired and the other is wireless, and the speed is basically based on the bandwidth of the wired one.

At present, the country is still using dial-up telephone lines to access the Internet, and when the telephone line is connected to the Internet, you cannot make calls.

Domestic Internet broadband is in a true bronze age.

Yes, this Bronze Age is not just talk, copper wires are actually used to transmit signals in telephone lines.

In this case, although the unlimited communication technology invented by Tang Yichen Communications Company can be used now, it is almost the same as being useless.

The current network itself has a slow dial-up speed, and after wireless connection, the download speed is pitiful. Lao Tang’s family has done experiments and the speed is only a few dozen K at most.

How is this still playing?

After connecting to the Internet, sending a text message or editing text with more than 100 words will have to be calculated in minutes.

Therefore, if we want to promote the transformation of mobile communications as quickly as possible and accelerate the leapfrog development of the Internet, it is not enough to just develop smartphones.

Smartphones are developed but cannot connect to the Internet, or when they do connect to the Internet the speed is controlled and they cannot do anything.

That would be so painful.

It is necessary to increase broadband Internet speed, change the original historical process, and let copper wire enter the optical fiber era as soon as possible. Only then will smartphones have a real place to be used, and the international communications industry can also enter the era of unlimited communication technology of the Tang family in advance.

However, we still have to wait and see what to do in the future.

The real decision can only be made after Tang Xionghua meets with the chairman of Zhongxin Communications Company in Shenzhen.

On the 29th, Tang Xionghua had not yet met with the chairman of Zhongxin Communications Company.

But on this day, a new set of authoritative statistics was released online.

According to the data, the number of netizens who have access to the Internet has officially exceeded 10 million so far.

This is a groundbreaking moment and one that will be remembered by history.

On the eve of the millennium, the number of Internet users in China reached eight digits.

Of course, Tang Yichen is not very clear whether this data is accurate.

But Tang Yichen estimated that it was about the same.

Because so far, Xiongchen’s PP registration volume has exceeded 5.

Although there is currently no real-name authentication procedure for Xiongchen's PP account registration, so one person can register multiple accounts, and not everyone who has access to the Internet will register for PP, but the 20 million registrations also indirectly reflect the current number of Internet users.

At the same time, there are more than just PP registrations.

The daily active users of PP and the traffic of Xiongchen Forum can also reflect the situation.

This data is directly known to Tang Yichen and is absolutely accurate.

PP’s daily active users have exceeded three million.

Xiongchen Forum is slightly worse than PP, with around one million daily active users.

With this level of daily activity, it is actually reasonable for the number of netizens to exceed 10 million.
