Chapter 1105: Help others for joy Tan Zhenhua

"Zhao De, I have a problem, you must find a way to help me."
"Aha!" After answering the phone, he heard Tan Zhenhua say so, Guo Zhaode couldn't help but yelled strangely, "Does the sun come out from the south today? Our omniscient and omnipotent Young Master Tan Er actually has something we can't solve by ourselves. trouble?"
"Well, that's it. Vivienne recently took a fancy to a project. She wants to invest a sum of money, but what about that project? I just finished talking and plan to invest 100 million US dollars to occupy a board seat."
A hesitant voice came from the earpiece: "Uh, Eric, this sounds like a normal thing? Doesn't Vivienne always like to invest with you? You are optimistic about it and are willing to invest in a $100 million project. She followed the light, is there any problem with this? Ah...hey, Eric, you don’t want to break up with Vivienne? I just had dinner with her grandpa last night, do you want to do it? So suddenly?"
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? No such thing, Vivian and I are fine."
"Oh, that's good, then tell me, what's the situation?"
"The situation is that I am very optimistic about that project, but Vivian must vote, I can't stop it."
"... Eric, are you kidding?"
"I am discussing issues with you very seriously."
"Then I was completely confused by you. Since you are very, very disinterested in this project, why should you invest 100 million dollars in it? Eric, you don’t have a fever? It’s not like having money? If you are If you think it’s too much money, you can even give it to me. I don’t dislike it."
"Well, for this reason, it's really not easy to explain... I invested 100 million US dollars, not for the shares of this project. In my opinion, this project is a pit that will kill a lot of people... But it is. , Now I’m afraid no one will think this is a pit, because the project paints a very good prospect, I used this investment in exchange for something I want, the value of which is far more than 100 million US dollars-and I think , The money I invested will become a catalyst to promote this project to start earlier and faster. Of course, the company that promotes the project the most actively and invests the most will fall into this pit earlier. Bury yourself properly, Zhao De, do you understand what I mean?"
There was a few seconds of silence in the receiver, and Guo Zhaode's voice came: "I think I understand, Eric, you are thinking about harming people again, right?"
"How do you say you? When did I hurt someone? I saw someone digging a hole, so I went up to help him dig a few shovels. Can this be a harm? It's obviously a pleasure to help others!" Tan Zhenhua is righteous Replied.
"Uh...hahahaha." Guo Zhaode's uncontrollable laughter came from the receiver, and Tan Zhenhua yelled dissatisfiedly: "Don't laugh, it's 5 dollars a minute for overseas calls. It's expensive, hurry up, just talk about business. !"
"Oh, okay, talk about business...hahahaha, no, I can't help but let me laugh for a while."
After Guo Zhaode finally stopped laughing, it took several minutes to catch his breath before he asked, "Eric, you are digging a hole, but I didn’t expect that the first person who wanted to jump in was Vivian. Right?"
Tan Zhenhua sighed and said, "Yeah, what are you saying about this?"
"Then you have to tell me what the project is, so I can judge what to do based on the specific situation."
At the moment, Tan Zhenhua gave a detailed account of the negotiation process with Motorola Galvin and his son and the "Iridium Project". Finally, he concluded: "I am very optimistic about this "Iridium Project". There are billions of dollars in it. On the one hand, I want to exchange more technologies and licenses for mobile communications from Motorola through cooperation to advance this plan. On the other hand, I also help China to acquire a few satellite launches by the way—maybe From this aspect, I can earn back the 100 million U.S. dollars. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I really don’t earn it back. Anyway, the benefits that can be gained from mobile communications must be far greater than 100 million U.S. dollars."
There was silence in the receiver for a while, and Guo Zhaode’s voice came again, but with obvious doubts in his tone: "Eric, why do I listen to this "Iridium Project" very well? It is indeed a milestone innovation in the history of communications. To tell you, I’m a little tempted, and I’m also surprised that your attitude towards this project is seriously inconsistent with your usual behavior. In my impression, you are the most enthusiastic investment in these high-tech industries. Why this time Different?"
"Because this plan ignores the most important point." Tan Zhenhua replied: "Motorola has only seen the difficulty of the current wireless communication base station erection and the huge investment, but has not predicted the complexity of the Starlink technology and the theoretical trend of the technology. The difficulty of practical application of engineering, and these two things are based on time as the vertical axis, that is to say, the two mentioned just now are competing with each other in the dimension of realization time. In this kind of competition, compare base station construction In other words, Starlink technology is obviously at a disadvantage—because it has not been tested in practice, it is only theoretically possible at present, but the base station technology is already very mature, and it will inevitably become more costly as construction progresses around the world. When this ground-based wireless base station network takes shape, the "Iridium Project" becomes unnecessary. After all, the vast majority of business travelers who need to keep their phones open at all times, where they go most often, It will not be a wilderness, but a large and medium-sized city with good coverage."
"But there are still many people who need satellite phones for communication, such as those engaged in special tasks such as oil or mineral exploration, field exploration, etc. Now satellite phones are too difficult to use. They are as heavy as bricks, and they are not sensitive enough. Very bad, to tell you, I almost bought one, but later gave up after weighing the weight. According to the reason you just said, the orbit of the current synchronous communication satellite is too high, so it needs more transmission power. The reason? Then the orbit of the "Iridium" is much lower, so there is no need for such a large transmission power, right? Will the phone be much lighter? That's still very attractive."
"On the contrary, the weight cannot be lowered at all, because the terminal in your hand is actually transmitted to the ground relay station for the satellite phones on the market, and the future "Iridium" is the terminal directly transmitted to the satellite, and you The reason for this is that the energy stored in the current battery is not enough, the integration of electronic components is not high enough, and the energy conversion efficiency is poor, so it needs more volume and weight. With the development of technology, these problems will gradually be solved. No matter what kind of satellite phone or mobile terminal based on cellular communication, the time it takes to solve this problem is the same. It depends on the improvement of basic components and integrated circuit integration and the breakthrough of power storage technology. Who is fast and who is slow."
Guo Zhaode said "Oh" seemingly, "Well, I don't understand these technical problems, but if you say this "Iridium Project" will fail, then I believe it will fail. Well, what you worry about now is that Vivian will also jump into this failure trap, right?"
Tan Zhenhua sighed again: "Yes, I can't stop it. The point is that I haven't been able to explain to her the reason for stopping her. Zhaode, help me think about it, what should I do about this?"
Guo Zhaode was shocked: "If you can't stop it, then don't stop it."
