Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 476: The U.S. communications industry rises up

As a courtesy exchange, Tang Huan invited Bob Galvin, Christopher Galvin and his son, and important Motorola figures such as Martin Cooper to visit Pacific Communications in San Francisco and Cupertino in Silicon Valley.

Pacific Communications, which has already flown out of AT&T's system first, is building construction projects to further expand the network and carry out digital transformation.

The communication network built by AT&T is still the best quality network system in the world so far. The assets inherited by Pacific Communications are absolutely high-quality.

But there is one thing. Pacific Communications and the other six Bell Brothers are assigned to a local telephone business with limited profits, while AT&T has left the long-distance telephone business, which is in a high-growth stage with substantial profits. Hands.

The breakup of AT&T means the liberalization of the US telecommunications market and the intensification of competition. If Pacific Communications wants to survive smoothly in the future, it must not chew the old and must be aggressive.

Fortunately, even with the common problems of conservative and arrogant large enterprises, the management of Pacific Communications still reached a consensus early-the traditional telecommunications industry is entering the digital age, and the proportion of data transmission services will inevitably exceed that of voice transmission services. Posture, to adapt to the drastic changes in business rules.

Therefore, when setting up optical fiber and opening value-added services such as caller ID and new generation fax, the management of Pacific Communications was very proactive, and Tang Huan did not need to worry about it. Its services in Silicon Valley were highly praised by customers.

But these talented guys are also very stubborn. They stay away from loss-making businesses such as Pacific bbs, exge mail system, and online game mud. The preferential plan for network fees is the same as toothpaste, and they refuse to implement it quickly. In place.

As for the cellular system, because of the huge investment in network construction and the successful business model that has not been proven, it was once left out.

Tang Huan knows well the inertia and habits of these business elites. It is nothing more than waiting for others to find the way successfully, through capital operation, picking peaches by way of acquisition.

Tang Huan, who knows the prospects of the cellular system, certainly cannot accept this routine. When it comes to picking peaches, Pacific Communications may not be able to **** other predators.

Moreover, Pacific Communications is not a company of Tang Huan alone, so it is necessary to expand its territory. Do you feel bad about money?

In addition, it is precisely because the prospects of cellular systems have not been clearly seen by the public. It is a good time to start, but Pacific Communications has an inherent advantage.

As early as 1977, the Federal Communications Commission had completed testing of this technology for cellular systems and confirmed its feasibility.

By 1981, the Federal Communications Commission began to make formal regulations on the operation of the cellular system, and took great care of things like Pacific Communications; be11;y—that is, the regional Bell operating company.

The Federal Communications Commission is so benevolent that in its view, Gein is forced to shut out the door of the lucrative long-distance telephone business, and is forced to stay in a market with almost no profit under the terms of the "revised final judgment". Internal telephone market. It deserves an opportunity for business growth as compensation.

Therefore, the Federal Communications Commission’s rules for issuing cellular phone technology licenses are that each major city in the United States will be granted two licenses: one for the winning bidder in the competition, and the other for the in-service "wired" local telephone operator, namely Similar to Pacific Communications; this decision has hardly encountered any opposition, because the cellular phone system is very expensive to implement, and there is no successful precedent, and the future profitability is difficult to determine.

Ever since. The attitude of most telecommunications companies was very cold. Only Pacific Communications, which was driven by Tang Huan with a whip, responded positively and made it clear that this new type of business would be launched in California soon.

Motorola waited. After arriving at the headquarters of Pacific Communications, what I saw was the situation of the hard work, and I was immediately full of joy-the mobile communication products that I spent a huge amount of US$100 million in research and development, really have real big customers.

Because of the previous successful cooperation in the field of semiconductors in the field of microprocessors, the two parties' cooperation in the field of mobile communications is also quite in sync.

Tang Huan also proudly showed it to Motorola. The high-end Fangyuan PC and entry-level Fangyuan workstation onboard have applied effects in many business links such as billing and service of Pacific Communications.

While everyone was enjoying themselves, a special guest, Executive Officer William McGovern, came to visit.

Tang Huan was taken aback for a moment, and said to his heart that he and William McGovern hadn't had any relationship before, now why is he looking for himself?

Chuck Smith reminded in a low voice, "It has always been financially tight. It is estimated that William McGovern is here to seek financing this time."

Tang Huan nodded suddenly. After Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. was successfully listed, he became a cash cow in the eyes of many people. They all wanted to come and squeeze. If William McGovern did it for this purpose, it would not be surprising.

Chuck Smith is a rare black executive in the American business community. Therefore, although he also has the bad habits of AT&T's big business, in front of Tang Huan, the survival rule prevents him from violating the evil and has always behaved the same. The understanding and execution of various business ideas are in sync.

So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang Huan assured Chuck Smith to continue to entertain Motorola, and he came to meet William McGovern.

The great name of the company is derived from it being the mortal enemy of AT&T. It was its birth in 1963 and its aggressiveness afterwards that led to the fact that AT&T, a giant that monopolizes the communications industry, was finally brought to justice. The ending of the dismantling of the Ministry.

The original founder of the company was John Goken. This man is very ideal and very resilient, but he is not good at business.

When bankruptcies were about to occur in 1968, William McGovern, who was not against John Goken, joined in.

This business elite with a deep Wall Street background immediately made adjustments and attracted financing to make mbsp; after the public listing in 1972, John Goken, who owns 10% of the shares, left the next year to explore new ones. Personal business, no longer participate in any management activities.

In other words, it was William McGovern who played an important role in forcing AT&T to spin off. (To be continued.)
