Tang Jing and her three little girls set out from Jinshan in the morning, changed planes in Hong Kong, and didn't arrive in Perth until nine o'clock at night.
By phone with Tang Jing, Zhang Ke stood in front of the window and stared at the snow grains on the glass with the wind outside. He had been thinking about Unicom.
Even if the mobile communication bureau and its subordinate provincial and municipal mobile companies are separated from China Telecom Corporation and accounted for separately, relying on the advantage of market monopoly, the net profit of the main business operators of mobile communication reached 12 billion in 1999, and the net profit margin of the main business reached 22%. After * *, it will become the second largest profit-making central enterprise after China National Petroleum Corporation; At this time, China Unicom's profitability is even lower than that of Huaxia electronics. In 1999, the net profit was only more than 1.2 billion, and the net profit of its main business was even less than 6%.
As a result of today's situation, China Unicom can complain that it was suppressed too badly in the early stage, and almost all advantageous resources were seized by the mobile communication bureau. After the reorganization of the Ministry of information industry, the situation of China Unicom is much better. In particular, the support of the State Council to China Unicom has been greatly strengthened, and China Unicom has also given priority to overseas listing and financing to develop its main business. It is difficult for China Unicom to catch up with China Mobile immediately. Most people are optimistic that the gap between China Unicom and China Mobile will be smaller and smaller. This is also an important factor that China Unicom is sought after by investment institutions when it is listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time. However, China Unicom puts its chips for developing high-end business on CDMA with the mentality of gamblers. The facts in the future will prove that China Unicom's gamble is inappropriate.
The actual situation is that until 2008, China Unicom had never really posed a threat to China Mobile. After the CDMA network was completed, China Unicom also regarded it as a chicken rib.
Zhang Ke looked at the wind and snow in the window and sighed secretly. He thought it would be more or less beyond his power to intervene in this matter at this time. The key is to consider how to seek the best interests for Jinhu.
Wanqing talks to Zhitong on the phone in the living room next door. The topic of mother and daughter talking on the phone is also very interesting. Zhitong says on the other end of the phone that she wants to find two handsome Australian guys for Wanqing in Perth. Zhang Ke stands by the door and laughs. She thinks why the girls after 90 are so precocious?
Wanqing and Zhitong talked nonsense on the phone for a while before hanging up. Zhang Ke smiled at her and said, "it's a pity that you don't go to Perth. It's cold here..."
"Sometimes I don't go to Perth to join in the fun," said Wanqing with a smile. "If you don't feel lively enough, just pull Xu Si over..." she wanted to say something more. The mobile phone rang again, looked at the display number, smiled with Zhang Ke and said, "what a coincidence." she spread out the mobile phone to Zhang Ke, and Xu Si called in.
"Why do you remember me at this time?" Wanqing answered the phone.
"Are you with Zhang Ke?" Xu Si asked at the other end of the phone.
Zhang Ke stood behind Wanqing, hugged her soft body from behind, and put her ears on her mobile phone to listen to what Xu Si said on the phone.
"He's eavesdropping on you. I flew to Beijing with him at noon. Why don't you come too?" said Wanqing, with her head depressed behind her, resting on Zhang Ke's shoulder and her cheek close to her cheek.
"I'm surprised to hear that you're going to Jianye. Why don't you go to Beijing secretly with Zhang Ke and go to Jianye alone?" Xu Si said with a smile on the other end of the phone. "I'd like to see you in Beijing, but I just got a phone call. I heard that ye Xiaotong gave birth to a baby boy in the hospital, a little fat baby of eight pounds and six Liang. I'll take time to visit the pregnant woman in Jianye first..."
"Ah!" Wanqing exclaimed, "don't hurry to visit the pregnant women in the hospital after you arrive in Jianye tomorrow. Wait until I go back to Jianye. I told everyone this morning that I went to Jianye. If you don't go back tomorrow, the lie will be exposed..."
"Then turn off your mobile phone now and pretend you haven't heard any news. I'll wait for you to come to Jianye tomorrow to see the pregnant woman."
"OK," agreed Wanqing, and asked Xu Si, "do you want to talk to that bastard for a while?"
"I don't want to ignore that bastard," Xu Si said with a smile on the other end of the phone. "Ignore him and he won't come back tomorrow."
Wanqing had to leave Beijing in advance. After hanging up with Xu Si, she immediately informed her assistant to book the earliest flight back to Jianye tomorrow. Zhang Ke won't be in a hurry to participate in this trivial matter of visiting mothers. If he has time, he will go to the hospital. He doesn't have time to wait until ye Xiaotong and Shao Xinwen's son eat the full moon wine, and then go to the door to congratulate him. He thinks that the Ye family must be very happy this time. Now the Ye family is four generations together; Ye Jianbin and Ding Wenyi have never had children.
Zhang Ke can't immediately call Shao Xinwen and ye Zufan, the father of the Ye family, to congratulate him. He can't say that he heard this when Xu Si called Wanqing. Wanqing arranged to go back to Jianye tomorrow. He picked up his mobile phone and called Chen Xinsheng. He talked about the in-depth cooperation with China Unicom through Lianxin, which was unclear on the phone, Chen Xinsheng was asked to come to Beijing and contact China Unicom on behalf of Jinhu.
Hearing the news from Chen Xinsheng that ye Xiaotong gave birth smoothly in the hospital at night, Zhang kecai called Shao Xinwen to congratulate him.
Shao Xinwen and a large number of people in the Ye family are in the hospital. Ye Zufan's voice is surprisingly loud. He commands the East and the West there. He grabs his mobile phone from Shao Xinwen's hand and talks with Zhang Ke excitedly. Ye Xiaotong changes from dystocia to caesarean section. He doesn't wake up after anesthesia. Naturally, he can't talk on the phone. He makes an appointment to visit the hospital another day before hanging up; Wanqing is also in a hurry to arrange things.
Wanqing rushed to the airport early the next morning to fly to Jianye, creating the illusion that she had been staying in Jianye. After meeting Xu Si, she went to the hospital to see ye Xiaotong and her biological son.
Zhang Ke lived in the Nanhu forest villa in Xianglin town. Until the afternoon, Yao Jian, general manager of Jinhu commercial north company, received Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong from the airport and rushed directly to the other fields of Nanhu forest.
There are few on ramp vehicles coming down from the second line highway of the airport. There is snow on the road and the car drives very slowly.
In addition to Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong, Zhang Ke also asked Liu Mingfeng to come to Beijing.
After applying for a structural engineer in Oak Park in August, Liu Mingfeng asked his girlfriend to meet Zhang Ke in Oak Park at night. He got another interview and finally entered IDA group.
After the original trial period, Liu Mingfeng officially served as the deputy manager of the user experience design center of the newly established Department of IDA group. This is a newly established department. The office location is also in the Oak Park for the time being, and the organizational structure has not been finalized. Although it works in the Oak Park, it is under the direct jurisdiction of Su Jindong, one of the three giants.
During this period, apart from submitting the work report to Zhang Ke by email once a week, there has been no direct contact with Zhang Ke. Even the response to the work report is the same. After the e-mail is delivered, it will automatically confirm the response, and there is no other response. Liu Mingfeng even thought he had forgotten about Zhang Ke until he received a phone call from Su Jindong last night to know that he was going to travel today.
Even if he is forgotten, Liu Mingfeng has nothing uncomfortable in his heart. He really knows that there is a huge Jinhu economic empire behind Aida group. Can he be among the 29 person meeting or the ultimate glory that excellent professional managers can move? Only then can we really know who stands at the top of the pyramid of Jinhu economic empire, which itself is a distant distance.
Although IDA group has many examples of taking on important positions at the beginning of employment, Zhang Yaping, President of pixel device department, has just joined as the president of the first level department and vice president of the group, directly ranking among the 29 person meeting. However, Zhang Yaping had a high reputation in the industry before joining IDA group. Before joining Jinhu, Liu Mingfeng was just an unknown person. Although he was a doctor of Jianyou, he did not have any outstanding academic achievements. He served as the deputy manager of the newly established department at the beginning of his employment. The key is that the newly established user experience design center is directly led by Su Jindong, one of the three giants. There is no formal manager yet. Liu Mingfeng's experience is more or less significant.
The car passed through Xianglin town and drove into Nanhu forest villa. Although it was covered with snow, it could still see the luxury of the villa area. Liu Mingfeng said with a loud smack: "when we can buy a suite here, we will have no regrets in our life."
"That's all?" Su Jindong was addicted to smoking. When he got off the second line of the airport, he moved to the last row of the business car, opened the window and sat there smoking. When he heard Liu Mingfeng's words, he smiled and scolded him. "Employees above the deputy manager of Ida think it's difficult to live in villas and foreign buildings. They really should go to the employee training center and wash their brains..."
Liu Mingfeng came out to work after finishing his doctor's degree in school, but he is not a research talent in an ordinary sense. He has strong team leadership. The most important thing is his ability of innovative thinking. He has a good wedge with IDA's newly established user experience center at this stage. He is also very proficient in technical matters and has strong business ability.
Su Jindong once joked with Zhang Ke that how could he pick up a treasure casually? Liu Mingfeng had no chance with Jinhu.
The two cars drove into the yard one after another. Liu Mingfeng saw Zhang Ke standing in front of the steps waiting for them. Zhang Ke was holding a box of cigarettes in his hand. He looked at Su Jindong getting off with cigarettes in his hand and said with a smile: "I thought you could resist smoking the first cigarette after getting off. I prepared cigarettes and lighters for you first. Unexpectedly, I overestimated you..." Hold the cigarette box and lighter in your hand and pin them behind you. Please ask Chen Xinsheng and Su Jindong to come in and talk to them.
Liu Mingfeng and Yao Jian followed and entered the house.
The weather outside is cold and ice, and there is heating indoors, which is as warm as spring. Sitting down, Zhang Ke briefly introduced to them what Xiao Ruimin came to talk about yesterday. Yao Jian couldn't get into the discussion at this level. He didn't know why Zhang Ke called Liu Mingfeng.
Chen Xinsheng doesn't smoke, and Zhang Ke has no interest in smoking. He throws the cigarette box and lighter on the table and says to Yao Jian and Liu Mingfeng, "take your own cigarette..."
Liu Mingfeng wanted to smoke. Seeing that Yao Jian was silent, he was embarrassed to be too casual. He sat there respectfully and prepared to listen to the two giants and Zhang Ke's profound cooperation with China Unicom. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "I briefly explained the situation. You should know why I called the roll and asked you to come to Beijing?"
"..." Liu Mingfeng didn't expect Zhang Ke to ask him directly. Fortunately, he was prepared and didn't get caught off guard. He sorted out his ideas and said, "When we investigate the whole mobile communication industry, we will find that the whole industry is actually composed of four types of enterprises: network and terminal hardware equipment suppliers, technology suppliers, network operators and service and content suppliers. Before the establishment of the user experience design center, IDA was a pure terminal equipment supplier and terminal equipment technology supplier in the field of mobile communication industry. Generally speaking, the scope of cooperation between IDA and China Unicom is very limited, either directly providing hardware products or indirectly participating in China Unicom's mobile phone customization business by providing Lianxin with components and mobile phone technology. However, in the portable music player market, IDA not only provides users with iPlayer hardware products, but also provides music download online through global music Internationally, it plays the role of service and content provider. The current g * * network is limited by bandwidth and technology, and other additional services other than communication are quite limited. However, whether mobile companies upgrade G network and develop GPRS technology, or China Unicom builds a new CDMA network, it can provide users with more services, including audio, pictures, video and the Internet, compared with the old generation G network Browsing, e-mail and many other value-added services, domestic digital mobile phones will also officially enter the era of high-end applications, which is the significance of our establishment of user experience design center. In cooperation with China Unicom, we can not only provide hardware products and participate in China Unicom's mobile phone customization business, but also become China Unicom's software technology supplier and internal provider of value-added business We need more suppliers, and it can greatly promote our hardware sales. "
Su Jindong nodded and said: "Microsoft acquired 30% equity of global music online at a cost of 900 million US dollars. Microsoft focuses on the bundled business model of global music online and iPlayer hardware sales; this business model will form a relatively closed application environment and promote each other to consolidate their market position - we have been investigating whether we can transplant this business model to the mobile phone business, but It's not easy to do this. IPlayer users can directly download music from global music online through computer networking. Of course, our mobile phone users can also directly download application software from our official website through computer networking. In the future, they can also download audio and video files, but for mobile phone users, such applications are still low-level. They can send and receive directly through mobile phones It is more convenient to download application software by email and directly linking to the Internet through mobile phone. You can even download internet instant messaging software such as MSN and ICQ to mobile phone, so that mobile phone can communicate synchronously with the Internet. Mobile phone can even be used as the terminal and payment means of e-commerce... In addition to communication, mobile phone applications should become more interesting and more life like, I think If we want to be a content provider for mobile phone users, we must do this to be a preliminary success, but this process needs the network support of operators. Unfortunately, the attitude of the mobile communication bureau is very tough. They think that the service and content supply is their territory, not that we can make a profit, let alone allow us to share profits. "
Liu Mingfeng pondered Su Jindong's words carefully, and his words expressed his meaning more thoroughly. He thought it was no accident that Aida could develop to today's level in the hands of a group of people. In front of the three giants, it is better to honestly pick up his tail and do things seriously. Many good ideas and ideas are not without realized value, but without reality Now it is possible that the domestic mobile communication bureau and its subordinate provincial and municipal mobile companies control the upstream resources. Although IDA group is likely to jump to the first place in the electronic top 100 list, it is still in a relatively inferior position in the whole mobile communication industry chain.
China Unicom, which is also full of grievances and in a weak position, is relatively easy to do. China Unicom even needs Jinhu to provide rich application software and content services to enrich its business, so as to attract more high-end users to use China Unicom numbers.
Zhang Ke knocked his fingers on the table and made a crisp sound, saying: "The mobile communication bureau will soon choose some cities to open GPRS pilot networks, and the full opening will probably be delayed until the beginning of 2001; China Unicom will build a new CDMA network, and the pace will be slower... For mobile phone manufacturers, a new generation of mobile phones can be gradually introduced to the market in three or five months. After the full opening of GPRS and CDMA networks, the high-end business mobile phone series will also be fully updated We should also make contact with China Unicom, but don't put too much hope on it. Even if we can't reach a cooperation agreement with China Mobile or China Unicom, our user experience store should be set up first. Liu Mingfeng proposed that our user experience store should be named idea store in English and mobile Internet in Chinese. I think it's very good. We can also use 'is' as a new business logo. Specifically, we can use it Well, it's up to you to discuss and decide... "Zhang Ke Xin wanted to let him have his temper and register mobile dreamnet first, so that China Mobile could hide in the corner and be depressed. He also thought that after Jinhu registered" mobile dreamnet ", China Mobile might avoid following the trend and give up the name" mobile dreamnet "?
Of course, others don't know Zhang Ke's gloomy psychology. Liu Mingfeng was a little stunned. He thought that a work report submitted to Zhang Ke by e-mail every week might be ignored. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ke and the senior management of IDA have been thinking deeply about this aspect.
"Your weekly work report in the past four months takes up a long time for us. Sometimes you even think your work report is not concise enough," Su Jindong patted Liu Mingfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Only the user experience store has practical significance for GPRS and CDMA enhanced mobile communication technology. It was not a time for large-scale discussion before. I will send you the opinions of the group's senior management on the experience store. You should submit a complete report as soon as possible..."
"The poor report determines whether you are competent to lead the new Department," Zhang Ke said with a smile. "In addition, you should also stay in Beijing to participate in the contact with the senior management of China Unicom. After all, you will be one of the specific workers in the future..."
Although the user experience design center is only a newly established secondary Department of Aida group, its importance is self-evident because it enables senior executives including Zhang Ke to devote so much effort. In addition, it is a secondary department, but it is directly under the jurisdiction of Su Jindong internally, and its actual status is not comparable to that of an ordinary secondary department. Although Jinhu does not have a CEO position, However, in terms of internal division of labor, Chen Xinsheng's position is similar to that of CEO, Su Jindong and Ding Huai are similar to that of joint CEO, followed by Zhang Yaping, vice president of the group, and then Lu Qingsheng and Yang Yun.
Having carefully investigated the business models of other businesses of Jinhu, Liu Mingfeng also clearly realized the position of the user experience design center in the future. Although he had thought about how to develop if he led the newly established department, before hearing Zhang Ke's words, he didn't really think he could lead the Department. He thought that the group would eventually send a yuan It is impossible for an old man to come to town. He is a newcomer who has not joined Jinhu for half a year, and he is an unknown person in the industry.
Liu Mingfeng looked at Su Jindong with some uncertainty. He usually has the most contact with Su Jindong. Su Jindong patted him on the shoulder and said, "what are you guilty of? You can't make achievements. You should be ready to withdraw at any time..."
Zhang Ke said: "When I use you now, I also think you have a comprehensive understanding of the user experience design center and idea store or mobile think network we need and envisage, and have innovative ideas. Global music online mainly provides music download services, with a fixed mode and low requirements for innovative thinking, but the operation mode of idea store is more complex. On the one hand, We should encourage external software engineers to provide us with rich application software resources; on the one hand, we should develop new application software and innovate operation mode according to the actual application needs... In addition, we should clearly tell you that we have high hopes for idea store. We hope that idea store can stand firm in the high-end market and participate in global competition E should play a vital role. In order to achieve this goal, we can invest hundreds of millions or even billions of funds in the idea store in the early stage. We don't hope that the idea store can provide us with many additional benefits in the early stage... "
