The first day of May.

The working people of China are happy to welcome the long and small holiday of labor day.

However, for the communication industry, there was a big earthquake.

The No. 3 Asia Pacific undersea optical cable project, which was generally favored by the industry, has stalled due to the non cooperation of the three major communication companies of China. At the same time, Subcom's share price fell sharply because the order worth more than 10 billion yuan could not be fulfilled.

No one can understand why the three major communication companies in China made such a choice.

In fact, it's not just outsiders who don't understand. Most of the three major communication companies don't understand why

Jinling Institute of higher learning.

In the dean's office, the land boat sitting at the desk is meticulously drawing something on a piece of white paper.

Just then there was a knock at the door.

The pen in his hand stopped, and Lu Zhou conveniently put the draft of the unfinished drawing into the drawer and looked at the door and said.

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

When the door opened, a distinctive face with crisscross gullies appeared behind the door.

"Academician Lu is still so dedicated," Wang Zhengfei said with a smile as he walked into the office. "Don't you have two days off?"

"When I'm not busy, I have a rest every day. Even when I'm busy, it's the same for Chinese new year," said Lu Zhou with a light smile, looking at Wang Zhengfei sitting on the office sofa Aren't you, too? "

Wang Zhengfei smiled and waved his hand.

"Me? Ha ha, I don't know life as well as you. It's much easier now than before. I'm sure I'll retire in a few years. "

Compared with the situation of internal and external troubles a few years ago, the situation faced by Huawei Group today is so much better.

From carbon based chips to hv-1 helmets to 5g technology, Huawei Group's 1 + n strategy has achieved initial results. From the upstream to the downstream of the industrial chain, the semiconductor giant, which has almost completed the layout of an entire industrial chain, has nothing to stop its rise.

At this stage, even without itself, Huawei Group can develop steadily. It can even be said that after leaving, the whole group is not sure to radiate greater vitality and go further on the road of becoming stronger.

It is for this reason that he has recently been planning to find a suitable time to withdraw from the front line position.

If not to show respect for academician Lu, he had intended to give the meeting to his chosen successor.

"I planned to go on holiday today, but my secretary told me that if you want to discuss something with me, I'll come here from Shanghai by maglev," Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, pouring himself a cup of tea. "I don't know what the project is, which can make academician Lu who is not interested in business, So much interest has been generated. "

Hearing Wang Zhengfei's words, Lu Zhou's face made a helpless expression.

In fact, even now, he is still not interested in business matters, which he was too lazy to get involved in.

However, the elder personally ordered him to do this task, and he could only carry it down.

In fact, judging from the envious expressions on other people's faces, Lu Zhou can probably guess that this task is certainly not just as simple as the task, it will almost undoubtedly bring him "no small" benefits.

Even in a sense, it is a kind of national reward for his merits, just like the stock of East Asia power.

For a country, money is just a number. Social development can not be measured by the amount of money alone. Anyway, whoever makes this money will make it. It's better for those who should make it to make it.

It's just that Lu Zhou doesn't have the idea of making so much money. After all, the patents of quantum computer and quantum communication technology are enough for him. It's really unattractive for him to manage submarine optical cable.

So he came up with a compromise, which was to pull more people into the car.

On the one hand, you can leave the trouble to others.

On the other hand, it can also avoid being hated for eating alone.

After all, this is a submarine optical cable across the Pacific Ocean. It is the lifeblood of the global information network in the future. It can be seen that there will be more than just one repair.

It's still a little too dangerous to hold this kind of thing in one's hand

"Is president Wang interested in the submarine cable project?"

"Submarine cable?"

Wang Zhengfei was slightly stunned, and his first reaction was that he was somehow baffled.

But soon he realized that there might be some news behind this sentence, so he looked at the boat and asked curiously.

"Any news from academician Lu?"

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou picked out something to say and said."We are going to build a cross Pacific undersea cable."

Hearing this, Wang Zhengfei frowned.

"Didn't you say it couldn't be built?"

"It's not accurate to say not to build," Lu said, shaking his head. "To be precise, it's not to build backward ones. Instead, we will build a more advanced one. "

Wang Zhengfei touched his chin and said.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, or You want to be direct? What do we need to do? "

Seeing the confused expression on boss Wang's face, Lu Zhou couldn't help but have a headache about how to explain it.

However, just as he was having a headache, he suddenly reacted.

Wait a minute. Why am I struggling with this?

It's like picking up money for nothing. It shouldn't be!

There is no reason to ask for money.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou was too lazy to explain, and said straightforwardly.

"In recent years, China has launched the strategy of building a strong marine economy and formulated the development goal of building a strong marine economy. Under this development goal, strengthening the development and construction of submarine optical cable industry plays an important role. "

Wang Zhengfei: "...?"

Didn't care about the old man's face, and the boat didn't stop.

“…… However, due to the high technical threshold and capital intensive degree of the industry, the global submarine cable market is basically monopolized by three enterprises, i.e. Subcom of the United States, NEC of Japan and Alcatel lucent of Europe. Only a few domestic enterprises participate in the competition. In the past, it's hard for us to build our own advantages in the field of information industry. "

"Therefore, the central government hopes that our outstanding non-governmental entrepreneurs can set some examples --"

"I know," Wang Zhengfei said straightforwardly when he immediately interrupted Lu Zhou, "how much is it?"

Hearing this, looking at the tense expression on the old man's face, Lu Zhou was obviously stunned.

Intuition told him that this guy mostly misunderstood the meaning of his sentence. However, because things went so smoothly, he knew that this guy might have misunderstood, and he couldn't bear to correct

He decided to pretend that he didn't pay attention, and Lu Zhou continued, "without conscience.".

"The budget has not been worked out yet. In short, the central government wants us to pay our own money to integrate the small and medium-sized enterprises that operate submarine cable business in China and build a submarine cable from the east coast of China to the west coast of the United States. "

Originally, Lu Zhou thought that if he wanted to pull boss Wang to his chariot without disclosing the secrets, he would have to spend a lot of words.

However, I didn't expect that just after his voice fell, Wang Zhengfei waved his hand and said without hesitation.

"Don't worry, money is not a problem! What else do you need? "

This guy

Is there any misunderstanding?

"Well, one more thing Boss Wang knows a lot of excellent entrepreneurs. I feel more people to share, everyone can pay less money. "

"Don't worry! I'll get in touch with them! "

Looking at this boss Wang is like being given the poverty alleviation index, Lu Zhou can't help crying and laughing at the expression that I don't go to hell and who goes to hell.

I'm clearly making money with others. How do I feel It's like rolling someone's wool.

Quantum computers can't say for the moment.

Quantum communication can't be said, anyway, it will be open in two days, but even if it is said, it doesn't seem to make sense. Most people don't know about quantum computers. There are only a few people who know that network information security is facing serious challenges.

To put it bluntly, without the threat of quantum computers, there is no need for quantum communication at all.

Although he could not explain anything, but out of conscience, Lu Zhou thought about it and comforted him.

"Don't worry too much. It's not going to lose. Technology and initiative are in our hands. I promise it's a business that can make no loss."

In the face of Lu Zhou's saying, Wang Zhengfei smiled bitterly, apparently not listening to his words.

In fact, it's nothing to lose money. After making so much money, it's nothing to give blood to the country at the critical moment.

It's just that he's more worried about whether the cable across the Pacific can be repaired than whether it's going to lose.

Warwick has not run the submarine cable business before. He knows better than anyone how big the hole is.

Otherwise, he would not have sold Huawei ocean together with its submarine cable business a few years ago.

"Can you give me the bottom line, let's go to the end It's almost certain. "

The boat raised two fingers.

Wang Zhengfei had a dignified expression.

"Only 20%?"

Lu Zhou shook his head."I mean, technical agency."

"We're about two generations ahead."

It was almost a moment.

The whole office is quiet
