Chapter 256

North America, Washington D.C.

A heavy-duty SUV that looks like a bulletproof version of the Red Flag but hangs a 'T' logo slowly drives away from the office area of ​​the White House.

This is an administrative car launched by American company TEP during the New Year's Day.

It is jointly invested, developed and produced by TEP, FMC, Harsco Industries and North American Tower.

Although it borrows the design scheme of the retro version of Dahongqi, the engine layout is more reasonable, the overall workmanship is more refined, and the price of each model is also cheaper, which is only one-third of that of Dahongqi, about 50 to 320 million dollars.

TEP Chairman James plans to replace Hummer with this series of off-road vehicles in the military field, and replace Ford, Toyota, Dahongqi, and Rolls-Royce of the same level with this series of business models in the civilian field.

At the same time, after the launch of the new car, in order to ensure the sales volume, Kelin, the former general manager of North America, was also appointed as the sales director. He blatantly put pressure on the stationed areas through North American overseas bases, requiring the other party to use a certain amount.

Against the backdrop of the crackdown on Iraqi Krypton in North America, within less than a month of its launch, TEP’s new car has surpassed Dahongqi, which has an annual sales volume of just over [-] vehicles, and has become the most popular luxury car nowadays.

Even because TEP completed the share exchange with Grumman, the oil king, the Texas arms dealer, etc., and formed a community of interests, the major capital consortiums, Aiwu and Wuxia, put the series on the screen and became a star in film and television works. C position, No.1.

General Raymond, thanks to his identity and status, was fortunate to receive a gift from his friend James, a heavy armored tank with a T-top.

At this moment, he was sitting in the back row of the vehicle, looking out the window expressionlessly.

Today's General Raymond, with a detached identity, is not only the head of the White House's military adviser, but also one of the shareholders of the Carlyle Consortium, the chairman of Carlyle Investment, the CEO of Leifei Technology, and a member of Renipfei Studio.

But it looks bright on the surface, but it is actually borrowing money everywhere.

Six months ago, he secretly used the funds invested by Carlyle to invest in crude oil with Director Xu, and bought it at US$15.2 per barrel, enjoying the benefits of following the trend. He never thought that he would kill a large Hazara oil field halfway, causing the oil price to plummet to $11.

Seeing that he was losing money, Raymond was worried that he would not be able to make up for Carlyle's funds, so he couldn't help but sell crude oil worth US$5 million to TEP Energy at a price of US$3.7 million.

Later, Morgan exposed that the big oil field was fake, and then the Iraq Krypton campaign broke out. Now the oil price has risen to 137.5 US dollars / barrel.

Ten times the income, the $50 billion is gone.

And because of the loss, Carlyle still has a gap of US$1.3 million that needs to be filled out of his pocket.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy long ago.

Fortunately, the will of General Raymond, who has experienced the baptism of war and iron blood, calmed down and began to plan for the Hazara coalfield.

Logically speaking, the deployment of marines from the Marine Corps disguised as Hadza people, coupled with the refitted special 80 heavy tank, snatched the Hazara traffic fortress - the southern camp from the Washima Inagawa Chamber of Commerce, and then controlled the coal mining area, it should be like drinking cold water Generally simple.

Even if the Wajima Self-Defense Force reinforces, while the opponent's heavy weapons have not arrived, one's own side can easily win.

Never thought that a surprise battle would turn into a tug-of-war.

The troops invested by both sides have exceeded [-], and the number of various tanks has also accumulated to [-].

During this period, just as the Iraq Krypton campaign broke out, JP Morgan found Xiaobu and asked for the Invincible Battalion of the Marine Corps.

As the person in charge of the White House's military advisor, Lei Meng came forward to negotiate with the other party in exchange for 50 tons of gold and a share of 20 billion US dollars.

Unexpectedly, when the deal was about to be completed, gold was robbed, American knives were thrown into the Aegean Sea as leaflets, and a Hercules and five F-16s were lost.

If it wasn't for JP Morgan and Xiao Bu to suppress the matter, he might have to go to court-martial.

What's even more uncomfortable is that hundreds of hounds, which were sold very well in the first half of the year, have been lost recently. Many rich people demand a reasonable explanation, otherwise the money will be refunded.

Lost one or two, probably not tied properly.

Losing hundreds of them is outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that it is said that someone saw a lost hunting dog in the northern mountains of Canada, and the other party got mixed up with the wolves and became the wolf king.

Raymond was exhausted thinking about these things.

Suddenly, the personal communicator rang.

"Xu, why are you free to call?"

According to intelligence, Director Xu is also very busy recently.

Invest in the Balkans, deal with anti-monopoly investigations, launch a new generation of charging treasures, update the models of Hongqi Automobile, Tiepi GM, and Daze Agricultural Machinery...

"Old Lei, there is a profitable business, do you want to partner up?"

"Oh? You said."

"Some time ago, Ironhide obtained a set of radio technology from General Electric, called the Zigbee network. Later, Mr. Foreman came up with a set of ideas for the German army during World War II, and asked me to think about it."

"and then?"

"The so-called communication technology is nothing more than the application of electromagnetic waves. The higher the frequency band, the higher the frequency, the wider the spectrum, the greater the channel capacity, and the more information can be transmitted.

Like the previous 1G, analog communication, the frequency is 150MHz, and the rate is only 2.4kbps.

The current 2G adds digital modulation, the frequency band is 900MHz, and the rate rises to 14Kbps.

The 3G technology announced years ago uses 2100MHz, with a rate of about 2Mbps.

Even if the communication provider replaces 3G with 2G, the frequency band is still on the rise.

I figured it out, if there are 4G and 5G technologies in the future, there is a high probability that higher frequency bands, or even GHz millimeter waves, will be used. "

"Xu, we all understand the truth, but this kind of toothpaste-squeezing gameplay is actually linked to communication hardware, such as satellite networks, whose speed can reach 1Gbps, but who can afford it for ordinary people? What frequency bands and hardware are used now? What kind of applications do they support? It is linked to business, and business, to put it bluntly, is to create the greatest profit at the lowest cost, so the carrier has temporarily canceled 3G, launched 2.5G, and even launched 2.75G."

"So, here's our chance to make a fortune."

"How?"

"What Mr. Foreman asked me to think about is a communication technology based on radar waves. You think, no matter 2G or 3G, base stations need to be laid, and radar itself is a kind of platform. If it is integrated into communication technology, Shall we just waive the cost of laying base stations?"

"But radar has a scanning range and is divided into long and short waves. Long waves have a wide range, but their carrying capacity is limited, so they are not suitable for containing information. Short waves can hold information, but their distance is limited, so they are not suitable for long-distance communication. To achieve communication effects, we must Lay more radars, and the cost of building a radar station is far more expensive than a communication base station."

As a general, Lei Meng is obviously no novice in the field of communication, and he pointed out the Achilles heel of the 'integrated radar communication technology'.

This is also the main reason why "radar communication integration technology" originated during World War II, but no country has been willing to engage in it.

"Old Lei, if there is a technology called 'Zigbee', its hardware cost is very cheap, if it is used with a radar station, every user is a 'mobile base station'... so you may not understand, you know' How do queen bees and worker bees pass information'?"

"do not know."

"Read more books at ordinary times."

"..."

"The way they transmit information is that the queen bee releases pheromones, which spread orderly in the bee colony with the help of air flow or individual contact, and then form a kind of 'order'. The Zigbee technology is derived from this.

For example, user 1, user 2, user 3, 4, and 5 are connected to each other to form a small-scale local area network. Zigbee technology is used to transmit information to each other. If 12345 is connected to five users of ABCDE 20 kilometers away To deliver messages, we can help switch to the radar, assigning a rate of 2500kbps, 300 characters per second, through programming conversion, and then setting aside uplink and downlink channels, about 150 letters or [-] Chinese characters can be transmitted at a time. "

When Lei Meng heard this, he immediately understood what it meant, "A BP machine that can send and receive text messages?"

"No, it's called instant messaging. When the technology matures, you can also send voice messages."

Xu Fei went on to talk about the video call supported by WIFI, "Zibee and Wifi have the same goal by different routes. We only need to make Zigbee compatible with Wifi without infringing patents, and then we can use the router."

"This is indeed a big business opportunity, but outdoors, we still need to lay radar."

"Are you stupid? We can cooperate with TEP and use their iron tower. At that time, my side will be responsible for researching equipment and technology, and your side will use Carlyle to invest. We will cooperate with the three parties to remove operating costs and share the benefits equally."

"How much money do you think you need in the early stage?"

"An epoch-making device is very likely to redefine the concept of communication. In the future, we can also sell emoticons, sell special fonts, and push advertisements... Think about it, make more money."

"I want to know how much money is needed up front."

"You'd better talk to Old Bu and let him estimate the price himself."

"It's like I can't be the master."

"20 billion dollars, can you take it out?"

"so much?"

"Old Lei, why do you become more and more confused, and your vision becomes narrower, and you can't see the prospect of this project."

"..."

In fact, Xu Fei could not see the prospect of this project either.

He just heard that the communication providers of the Science and Technology Alliance put 3G technology aside and launched Laoshizi 2.5G. If the toothpaste is squeezed like this, it is very likely that they will launch 2.75G network.

Maybe most people don't understand what it means.

Simple explanation, 2G technology has been monopolized, GSM in Europe, Qualcomm CDMA.

Although in the 2G era, Qualcomm CDMA lost to European GSM, but in the coming 3G era, Qualcomm has registered almost all 3G patents in advance, which also caused the opponent's legal department to be larger than the R&D department.

Then, whether the telecom of one's own camp cuts out China Mobile, or China Unicom, or adopts GSM, CDMA, or even develops xxCDMA, it has to pay patent fees.

Including mobile phone manufacturers, also have to pay.

And the more versions of communication technology, just like the outdoor LED gameplay considered before, every time it is updated, it needs to be technically authorized and a fee must be paid.

Moreover, mobile phones have become popular, more and more people use them, and more and more money will be paid.

When one day, one cancels the authorization, not only the mobile phone manufacturers in the East will kneel, but also the communication service providers.

Therefore, we can't use the current mainstream communication technology, we must take the lead, develop independently, and build our own "circle".

Xu Fei's idea is to use Zigbee technology to cover up the integration of radar and communication.

For example, the first-generation Zigbee technology has a maximum rate of 1kbps, but if you apply for a membership, you can enjoy the "overclocking" service, that is, you can secretly dial a bit from the radar communication integrated CCC network to make the rate supported by the device reach 30kbps.

For example, the second-generation Zigbee technology has a maximum rate of 2kbps. If you apply for membership, you will continue to secretly dial from the CCC network to allow the device to support a rate of 200kbps.

If you apply for a higher-level membership, such as bronze, silver, gold, diamond, level 1 VIP, and level 2 VIP, we will call more.

In doing so, it can not only reflect its own research and development capabilities in Zifeng technology, but also make up for the laying costs of the radar base station through membership fees.

Of course, the most important thing is to stimulate the communication providers of the technology alliance and let them launch better network technology as soon as possible.

Because of the improvement of network technology, there will be more related applications, devices will consume more power, and the demand for power banks will increase.

When all mobile phone batteries cannot meet daily needs, everyone will prepare a power bank.

Until then, maybe my own business will be more profitable than selling mobile phones.

'It is best to let mobile phone manufacturers remove the backup battery and replace it with an embedded battery. '

'Without the spare battery, it can only be charged in the future. '

Xu Fei and Lei Meng look forward to the future, describe the communication scene of 15 years, make each other's blood boil, and go to Lao Bu to discuss investment.

After hanging up the phone, the staff from the military division and the operation center had already left, leaving only two clerks waiting for instructions from the factory manager.

"Notify the major media that a 'press conference' will be held here tomorrow morning to announce the new year's plan of the Daze Industrial Complex and the new products of the Iron Sheet Company."

"Good factory manager."

After Xu Fei made the arrangements and thought about it seriously, he came to the design consulting company and asked Tang Mo, the chief designer, to make a beautiful PPT based on his impression of the 15-year expansion, which will be used to imagine Zigbee Network tomorrow.

After that, I went to Wan Tao from TEP Computer Service Company, and asked him to integrate the functions envisioned by the three military divisions into the power bank, creating an effect of "communication equipment iteration".

The whole is both true and false.

Really, they have these functions at home.

The false thing is that due to the limitation of hardware technology, it cannot be combined together, so it can only be realized by dividing into multiple devices.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei made up a 'smart phone' with the help of a computer that comes with the basic production line.

The appearance is based on icrazy 4S, and nano-spraying, XLED screen, and fingerprint unlocking technology are added.

"It's a pity that there is no touch screen technology, otherwise mobile phone manufacturers will probably go crazy in the face of this level of smart phones."

After Xu Fei finished his busy work, he copied two PPTs and one design plan to a USB flash drive, and then asked the laboratory to make a set of samples from the ideas proposed by the three military divisions.

In the end, he wandered around the auditorium, found the recording device hidden in the venue, played it quickly, and checked the executives who had attended the meeting before to see if anyone scolded him secretly.

Fortunately, although Director Xu is strict, he can't find any faults in his behavior.

Xu Fei turned off the device, and suddenly understood the real reason why businessmen like to go to the bathing center.

"They all wear so little, and there is not much furniture around them. Lying there, it's called being honest and can't record."

"It seems that we are still too tender."

"We must find a time to get in touch with and learn from bigwigs from all walks of life."
