Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1194. About two generations ahead.

First day of May.

The working people of China are welcoming a long holiday on Labor Day.

For the telecommunications industry, however, there was a major earthquake.

The No. 3 Asia-Pacific submarine optical cable project, which was generally favoured by the industry, was stalled due to the lack of cooperation from three major communications companies in China. At the same time, SubCom's share price declined dramatically as orders worth more than tens of billions of dollars could not be honored.

No one understands why the three major telecommunications companies in China make such choices.

In fact, not only do outsiders not understand, the vast majority of the three major telecommunications companies themselves do not understand why...

Jinling Higher Institute.

In the dean's office, sitting on an ark in front of a desk, scrupulously painting something on a blank piece of paper.

At this point, a knock came from the door.

The pen in his hand stopped and the ark put the unfinished draft drawings in the drawer and looked to the door and said.

“The door is unlocked, please come in. ”

The door was opened, a trench crossed and a very distinctive face appeared behind the door.

“Master Lu is still so dedicated,” Wang Zhengfei said with a smile as he walked into the office. "Don't you want to take two days off? ”

“I rest every day when I'm not busy, even if it's New Year's Eve,” said Wang Zhengfei, looking at Wang Zhengfei sitting on the office couch, the ark smiling slightly, "... Aren't you? ”

Wang Zhengfei smiled and set his hand.

“Me? Ha ha, I don't know life as well as you. It's a lot easier now than before. I might even retire in a few years. ”

Compared to the situation of internal and external worries a few years ago, the situation facing the Huawei Group today can be said to be much better.

From carbon-based chips to HV-1 helmets to the explosion of 5G technology, Warwick Group's 1 + N strategy has begun to bear fruit. From the top of the industrial chain to the bottom of the downstream, this semiconductor giant has almost completed the entire industrial chain layout, and nothing can stop it from rising.

By this point, even without itself, the Warwick Group will be able to develop smoothly. It can even be said that after leaving, the group as a whole will not be allowed to become more energetic and to go further on the path of becoming stronger.

And that's why recently he's been planning on finding the right time to step back from the front line.

Had it not been for his respect for Master Lu, he would have intended to leave the meeting to his chosen successor.

“I had planned to go on vacation today, and I heard from my secretary that you had something to discuss with me. I immediately rushed over from Shanghai on a magnetic hover." I poured myself a cup of tea and Wang Zhengfei, sitting on the couch, laughed. "I don't know what the project is, it can make the Lu Academicians, who have not always been interested in business matters, so interested. ”

When Wang Zhengfei said that, the face of the Ark made a helpless expression.

In fact, even now, he had little interest in commercial matters, which he would have been lazy to get involved in.

But the elder personally ordered him to do the task, and he had to carry it down.

In fact, from the expression of envy on the faces of others, the Ark can presumably guess that the task is certainly not just as simple as the task, but will almost certainly bring him a "good deal”.

Even in a sense, it is a national reward for his credit, just like the stock of East Asian electricity.

For the State, currency was only a number, and social development could not be measured simply by the amount of money. Anyway, this money is earned by everyone, so why don't you let the people who earn it make it.

It's just that the Ark itself doesn't have the idea of making that much money. After all, the patents on quantum computers and quantum communication technology are enough for him to eat and support, and running submarine optical cables is really not attractive to him.

So he figured out a compromise, and that was getting some more people into the car.

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

On the other hand, it is also possible to avoid being jealous of eating alone.

After all, this is a trans-Pacific submarine cable, the lifeblood of the future global information network, and it's not just going to be a fix.

This kind of thing is in the hands of a person, it's still a little too dangerous...

“Is President Wang interested in the submarine optical cable project? ”

“Underwater cables? ”

Wang Zhengfei was slightly stunned. The first reaction was somewhat strange.

Soon, however, he was acutely aware of what might be behind the sentence, and looked at the ark and asked curiously.

“Did you hear anything from Master Lu? ”

The ark thought about it, picked something to say, and said.

“We intend to build a trans-Pacific submarine optical cable. ”

Wang Zhengfei frowned when he heard this.

“Didn't you say you couldn't build it? ”

“Not building it is not accurate enough,” the ark shook its head, "precisely the kind that does not build backwards. Instead, we have to build something more advanced. ”

Wang Zhengfei touched his chin and said.

“I don't know what you mean, why don't you just say something? What do you need us to do? ”

Seeing the confused look on the face of this Boss Wang, the Ark couldn't help but have a headache. How do we explain this?

However, while he was having a headache, he suddenly reacted.

Wait, why should I get into this?

This thing is like picking up money for nothing, it shouldn't be!

There's no reason to ask for money.

Thinking about it, the Ark was also too lazy to explain, and said it straight away.

“In recent years, our country has launched a strategy of maritime Powers, setting development goals for building strong maritime economies. Under this development objective, strengthening the development and construction of the submarine optical cable industry is of key importance. ”

Wang Zhengfei: “…? ”

Without ignoring the look on the old man's face, the ark did not pause and continued.

“… However, due to the high technological threshold and capital intensity of the industry, the global marine cable market is now largely dominated by three firms, SubCom in the United States, NEC in Japan and Alcatron in Europe, with only a small number of domestic firms competing. In the past, it was difficult for us to build our own strengths in the information industry. ”

“Therefore, the central government hopes that we, good private entrepreneurs, will make some exemplars -”

“I know,” interrupted the ark immediately, Wang Zhengfei straightened out, “how much? ”

When I heard that, I looked at the nervous look on the old man's face and the ark was obviously stunned.

Intuition tells him that this guy probably misunderstood what he meant by that. However, because things were going too well, knowing that this guy might have misunderstood, he couldn't bear to rectify it...

Decided to pretend not to pay attention, the ark continued “with no conscience”.

“The budget for this, has not been made yet. In short, the central government wants us to pay ourselves to integrate domestic small and medium-sized businesses that operate submarine optical cables and build our own submarine optical cables from the east coast of China to the west coast of the United States. ”

The Ark thought that it would take a lot of talking to pull this Wang boss into his chariot without disclosing his secrets.

However, it was unexpected that his voice had just fallen, and Wang Zhengfei waved his hand and said without hesitation.

“Rest assured, money is not the problem! Anything else you need? ”

This guy...

You must have misunderstood something.

“Well, there's a little bit more… Boss Wang should know a lot of good entrepreneurs. I feel a little more apportioned, and everyone can pay a little less. ”

“Don't worry! Leave this to me, too. I'll get in touch with them! ”

Looking at this Boss Wang as if he had been given a poverty alleviation index, the Ark couldn't help but cry when I didn't enter the face of hell who entered it.

How do you feel when you are obviously making money with people... like you are mocking people's wool?

The quantum computer cannot say for the moment.

Quantum communication doesn't mean it can't be said, it's going to be public in two days, but even if it does, it doesn't seem to make any sense. The vast majority of people do not know about quantum computers, and only a few know that cyber information security is facing serious challenges.

To be honest, without the threat of a quantum computer, there is no need for quantum communication at all.

Though he could explain nothing, his conscience made him think and comfort himself.

“Don't worry too much, this thing is definitely not going to lose, we have the technology and the initiative, I guarantee it's a steady and unprofitable deal. ”

In the face of the Ark, Wang Zhengfei smiled bitterly and apparently did not listen to him.

In fact, losing a little money is nothing, making so much money, bleeding a little for the country at a critical moment is nothing.

He was more worried about whether the optical cable across the Pacific could be repaired than just a matter of no loss.

Wasn't Warwick not previously in the business of submarine optical cables, he knew better than anyone how big the crater was.

Otherwise, he would not have packed and sold "Warwick Ocean" a few years ago along with the business of submarine optical cables.

“Can you give me the bottom line? We're pretty sure... ”

The ark raised two fingers.

Wang Zhengfei's expression was a little heavy.

“Only 20%? ”

The ark shook its head.

“I mean, the tech subdivision. ”

“We're probably, like, two generations ahead. ”

Almost a moment.

The whole office is quiet...
