In the eyes of many people who have a vague impression of that era, it seems that the country's economic opening up is mainly about several key nodes and years.

For example, the three important nodes were the legalization of large-scale self-employed enterprises in 1979, the township enterprises were renamed in 1984, and the pure domestic investment company in 1992.

But in fact, those who truly have a deep and detailed understanding of that era can still feel more changes in rhythm in small stages, of course, the premise is that you were already a well-known businessman in the 1980s, and you can feel these. If you are just working, you may not be able to experience them.

In this life, Gu Ao was obviously standing on a high place and seeing far away.

After experiencing the domestic business environment for 1986 years, he has a very understanding of why Americans, especially the American business delegation organized by Times Group, chose to further release their goodwill to cooperate with China after September this year.

From June to August of 1986, the domestic economic environment ushered in another wave of additional openings. (Of course, it was a bit overheated later)

There are two major economic events here. First, on August 3, a state-owned enterprise factory in a provincial capital outside the pass announced under the organization of the Shenzhou industrial and commercial system that the situation has not improved in one year after the issuance of a "bankruptcy warning notice". Therefore, the city and the industrial and commercial officially decided to let the factory go bankrupt.

China did not have the Bankruptcy Law at that time, and the domestic bankruptcy law was not established until 2006 and 2007 in the early 21st century. Moreover, it was not possible to pay attention to the state in society and allow a state-owned enterprise to go bankrupt completely, which was originally completely unimaginable.

So although it was just a city explosion-proof equipment factory, the influence of this news was very huge.

Take the American media giant Times Group for example. At that time, this incident was on the cover news of Times magazine, and became one of the most eye-catching news in the world in August 1986. The title was "China's 'iron rice bowl' is really going to be broken." It took several pages to exaggerate this "the world's major society pays attention to a big country and the first state-owned enterprise bankruptcy case."

Time magazine's commentary said: "Thousands of workers have been warned that their companies are in desperate situations and that their jobs will not be guaranteed. This phenomenon is not uncommon in the West. If it happened in Detroit or Manchester, it would be common for a hundred or two years. But this time, it happened in Shenzhou, China."

Immediately after half a month, another chief inspected the Tianjin Economic Development Zone. This was the first time that a chief in China had a chief inspected the northern economic development zone. It was originally in places like the Special Administrative Region, Yuezhou or Hujiang. Therefore, this was also interpreted by Americans as a trend of deepening reform.

American media people represented by Times Group were very excited and urgently organized an entrepreneurial delegation to teach Chinese people who "have taken a more open attitude and lacked market experience to the Chinese people."

...

It was under such a background that Gu Ao came to the capital.

Of course, his main purpose is to prevent Wang Lie from being embarrassed, and to do some extra effort to lower Wang An's computer's stock price. Gu Ao is not a nosy person, and he doesn't want to argue about national affairs.

It was only mid-August when he came, and it was a while before the US delegation came.

He couldn't come to the door directly, so he volunteered to attend these symposiums, so he could only spend some time to invite guests to dinner with acquaintances in the circle and find opportunities slowly.

After all, the current situation is different from that in March and April of the first half of the year. In March, Gu Ao was invited by relevant departments, and the background at that time was to provide some strategic planning opinions on the electronics and communications issues in the 863 Plan. The Wang father and son were also invited as foreign experts at the time. It is natural for Gu Ao to fight with the other party.

Now this matter is different from the time of the 863 Plan. The organizer this time is the American Times Group, which is talking about the issues in the transformation of the market economy.

The other party didn't invite Gu Ao, so you can't get in with shame.

You can only create opportunities on your own.

...

But let alone, Gu Ao was created by the Ministry of Electronics Industry after all, so there are many relationships in the circle.

After having a few meals with his old colleagues, Gu Ao found out what electronic meter plans to do recently.

For example, on the third day after Gu Ao arrived in the capital, he invited Chen Sicong to chat about things and had a meal to find out the news.

It’s either a good dish, it’s a takeaway in Gu Ao’s courtyard, or a takeaway order at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse next door.

At the dinner party, Chen Sicong talked about something, which was also a question, and then gave Gu Ao some ideas:

"Xiao Gu, the department has been applying for something recently. Do you think it is reliable? The country originally planned to officially complete the initial network layout at this time next year and put into mobile phone calls in China. Moreover, the city was originally scheduled to be used in Guangdong Province for next year's autumn Canton Fair.

But recently, many people in Beijing have also been promoting it, and they are unwilling to accept that the first city with a "big brother" in China was snatched away by people from Yuezhou. Within the past two months, foreign affairs activities in Beijing have been very intensive and many delegations of American capitalists have to be convened.

After the National Day, on October 12, a foreign queen was scheduled to visit China. It is also considered that after the country officially signed the proposal to return Xiangjiang at the beginning of the year, we both became completely friendly and expressed our opinions and would definitely receive it grandly. At that time, the itinerary will be in addition to the capital, Hujiang and Yuezhou.

There are so many major reception activities, from the Ministry to the Beijing area, everyone thinks that it will be better to get mobile communications in Beijing first, and it will also make us Chinese people look forward to modernizing our technology. Even if the country cannot afford so much money to generate sustainable benefits, we can still rely on focusing on laying out base stations to solve the problem.

We don’t expect to be in place in one step, and cover the main urban areas of Beijing, Hujiang and Yuezhou with big signals. Let’s first plan the route of foreign heads of state to visit China, and then build a base station.

Just make sure there is a signal on the second ring road in the capital city and a signal on the way to the airport. As for Hujiang, you must have a signal on the Bund you booked at that time, especially the berth where the Royal Yacht of the Brittany is planned, and there must be a signal. As for Yuezhou, you can only ensure that there is a signal on the White Swan Hotel, the Canton Fair venue and the surrounding hotel business district. If you look at the rest from the perspective of an insider, what do you think of this plan?"

"I don't think so. If you and the local people want to do it, then do it. I'm just an outsider." Gu Ao was very sensible.

Chen Sicong was so angry that he was not angry and laughed: "You said you are an outsider? You are the founder of 'Huaxing Communications'! You were the director of the preparatory committee back then! You were the director of the project and you were sent for a long time. After two months of being the factory director! You stopped recognizing someone after giving up the job?"

Gu Ao took a sip of wine: "Are you all the things that happened? You are not in your position and don't do anything. If you lose money in this kind of thing, no one says I am good. If you make money, I talk too much and some people say that I use my former influence to benefit myself. It's better for me to say less. Besides, even if you make money, there is not much money. I can't make a bad reputation."

Of course, Gu Ao actually doesn't care about losing money. He also needs a normal excuse to show his face and wander around in various relevant departments in the capital in the near future.

If this matter is taken on, it will make his other actions more convenient, just a small scale pilot project, Gu Ao is afraid that he will not be able to afford it?

But all this must be squeezed into Chen Sicong and become completely legitimate and unfair.

Of course, Gu Ao had to pretend not to care first and wait for Chen Sicong to complain.

Gu Ao made a little trick and turned the topic to the feasibility level. He asked in a provocative tone: "Even if this matter is to be done, it is so urgent. It will be used in October. It is only two months now. Is it time to build and equipment?"

When Chen Sicong saw that there was hope, he quickly recommended: "It's time. Didn't you ask Huaxing Communication to discuss a big strategic cooperation with Motorola in the United States before you left? When you left, the localization of the pager and paging base station equipment had been realized. It was just a patent licensing fee for Americans, but production was fine.

After working hard in the past two years, Huaxing Communications has also achieved domestic production of mobile phones and supporting base stations, and it is also a matter of course and has to give authorization fees. At present, you can't say that some of the big phones sold by Motorola to Japan are manufactured by our China.

Alas, the young man Ren Zhengyi, who was promoted from an infrastructure engineering corps back then, was also a really capable person. After you left, it took more than a year and a half to calculate. He was promoted from a middle-level cadre in the technical and production department in one year and became a deputy in the entire unit. This kid has a strong ability to organize resources, and he has passed all the difficulties he has to concentrate on overcoming.

I'm talking about the progress schedule. I think that the local governments and the ministries are currently unable to make up their minds to invest and have no money. If they are willing to spend money, it is fine to make a localization from mobile phones to base stations. How can it be delayed if they directly supply construction? It's not that you can just build within a certain area, just lay the core business districts of two or three cities. At most, a hundred signal stations are enough, and enough manpower can be enough to construct simultaneously.

Anyway, if you decide to do this immediately, Beijing will do it before October 1st. It is better to show your face to the American capitalist delegation by the time you are here. Let's count it for 45 days. The business district of Hujiang Bund and the Guangdong Canton Fair, the White Swan Hotel, can be delayed until October 15th, which will be two months. Anyway, I'm here on the 12th, I'll stay in Beijing for two days first, and I won't go to Hujiang and Yuezhou immediately."

After hearing Chen Sicong's words so sincerely, Gu Ao pretended to ponder for a while and said, "Since it's just a matter of money, I can't help, but I can't make a bad reputation. If you want me to intervene, I suggest you do this and start an open bidding immediately, and this week, spread the cost and sales revenue risks in the first phase.

If no one bids, I will come back, and it will be considered as a takeover for you. As long as someone bids higher than me, I will leave immediately. I promise that this project will definitely not be able to make money for the time being. However, I don’t take it seriously at the small loss of millions of yuan. I don’t want to make money after doing something that loses money."
