Chapter 2 First heard of iridium

"Old Su, it's been a long time since I saw you, you're still the same." Jian Zhikang said with a big laugh.

Zhou Heng walked around from behind Su Liangyu and Liang Yuan, took a few steps and smiled at Jian Zhikang, and reached out to take the trolley box in Jian Zhikang's hand.

Jian Zhikang nodded to Zhou Heng with a smile, and reached out to hold Su Liangyu.

"Old Jian, you are still the same. I haven't seen each other for three years. Wei Hui's health is fine." Su Liangyu asked.

Wei Hui is Jian Zhikang's lover and graduated from MIT. The three of them are classmates of the same class and are currently working in Motorola's Communications Research Institute.

"Fortunately, fortunately, Wei Hui is busy with work recently. Motorola recently proposed a global satellite communications plan called "Iridium". Wei Hui and the others have been making forward-looking technical predictions, otherwise she will follow me back to China this time."

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional. When Liang Yuan listened to the conversation between the two, he roughly judged that the man named Wei Hui should be Jian Zhikang's lover. It turns out that people are divided into groups and birds of a feather flocked. The biggest gain since his rebirth was to fool Su Liangyu into Shengjing to establish the Nanhu Science and Technology Park. Otherwise, like a first-class Chinese scientist working in Bell Laboratory and Motorola Laboratory, even if in ten years, it would be extremely difficult to find a reliable contact channel recognized by the other party.

The famous Iridium project, a plan known as the crown jewel of the communications industry, Liang Yuan was well-known in his previous life. Various magazines in communications, finance, technology, finance and other categories have long analyzed the Iridium project from success to failure. From market to technology, the two words Iridium can at least create an eye-catching economy of tens of millions of dollars in the global media industry.

Even in the new century, the Iridium project is an exciting top-notch technological achievement. It consists of 77 near-Earth satellites, and communicates with each other with starlink technology. When the system is completed, the holder of the Iridium terminal device can make a number to travel around the world, whether you are in the hot and deserted Sahara Desert or in the south and north poles of the icy and snowy land, as long as you are in this blue planet, you can contact anyone you want to contact.

The Iridium system has ushered in a new era of global personal communications and is considered a milestone in the modern communications industry. The Iridium system has realized five "any" (5w) for the first time. That is, anyone whoever communicates with anyone (whoever) at any place (where), at any time (whenever) in any way (whoever).

After the Iridium system died, there was no global barrier-free communication system in the civil communications industry. Followers of the Iridium project could only cover the satellite network to some parts of the planet.

It can be said that Motorola Group, which is currently extremely strong in the communications industry, was truly at its peak after proposing the Iridium project, becoming a leader in the global communications industry, and spent the extremely beautiful golden age in Motorola's history from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.

Liang Yuan listened to Jian Zhikang introducing the general idea of ​​the Iridium project to Su Liangyu, but remembered the dilemma of this old communications group after the new century. Liang Yuan passed through Motorola, which was acquired by Google before, was in a situation of being broken down. Although the Iridium project brought Motorola to the peak of the industry, the Iridium project was also the culprit of Motorola's decline. When the Iridium project was officially in operation, this world's top communications industry group kicked off the curtain of sliding towards the abyss of bankruptcy.

Yin and Yang flow, and prosperity will decline. In the 1980s and 1990s, countless people firmly believed that Motorola would become General Electric, a top company that was still thriving over the threshold of a century. No one would have thought that the radiant Iridium project would ring the death knell of Motorola's fall.

Jian Zhikang and Su Liangyu spoke as they walked out of the waiting hall. Liang Yuan looked at Su Liangyu and smiled hiddenly at him. He could only shake his head helplessly, followed the two of them honestly and walked out of the hall.

It seems that the emotional intelligence of some scientists is really a problem. Liang Yuan complained in his stomach that he was so big that he was just ignored.

Several people left the waiting hall, Su Liangyu and Jian Zhikang got into the back seat, Zhou Heng put his luggage into Volga's trunk, and then started the car.[13800100]

"Xiaoyuan, go to the hotel or go back to the science and technology park?" Su Liangyu asked, patting Liang Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

In order to meet the overtime needs of technicians, Liang Yuan built an emergency hotel with color steel in the Science and Technology Park, providing the core R&D personnel of the gas engine laboratory and chip laboratory for rest. Li Yuanling, Su Liangyu, Gu Haiyun, Wang Xin and other scientific research leaders and backbones are regular customers of this emergency hotel.

Adhering to Liang Yuan's consistent idea of ​​providing first-class hardware facilities, the facilities of this small hotel are extremely luxurious. Although the decoration style is mainly comfortable, bathing equipment from Italy, German appliances, Dutch lighting, Nordic flooring, Turkey carpets and other facilities are enough to throw domestic hotels out of eight streets. In the 1980s, I would not find such a luxurious place to search through China. After the hotel was completed, Liang Haiping was shocked by looking at the budget of nearly 3 million.

"It cost 3 million to spend more than ten rooms. Xiaoyuan, you can no longer describe it as the word "spendant"," Liang Haiping said.

After the hotel was repaired, the number of overtime workers in the park was welcomed by the overtime workers. The number of technicians working overtime increased significantly at night. Liang Yuan also pointed to the lights of the Science and Technology Park throughout the night to show off his foresight to Liang Haiping. Since many technical backbones regard the hotel as a long-term destination, the core technical information of the Science and Technology Park is often seen in the hotel rooms. This is also a place with a relatively high level of confidentiality in the science and technology park. Therefore, Su Liangyu asked this question. After all, there will be no better resting place in Shengjing than the hotels within the Science and Technology Park.

"Let's go back to the Science and Technology Park. For Mr. Jian, there is nothing we have to keep in secret with our relatively primitive technologies." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Jian Zhikang's tone was extremely mature when he heard Liang Yuan's speech. Then he noticed Liang Yuan's existence. He smiled at Liang Yuan awkwardly, turned his head to look at Su Liangyu beside him and asked, "What is this kid?"

"Lao Jian. Remember I told you that I met a very enlightened investor in mainland China who has a deep understanding of the electronics industry."

"Of course I remember, you described it to me, saying that this investor's sensitivity to finance and understanding of the electronics industry is more than all the current local American entrepreneurs, Lao Su. Is this a member of your investor's family?"

When Liang Yuan heard Jian Zhikang say this, his face was a little hot as a middle-aged uncle. Although the real middle-aged uncle in front of him said that his emotional intelligence was not very good. His IQ was so top-notch. He was so big that he should be invisible even if he had any dissatisfaction.

Su Liangyu smiled strangely, nodded and said, "This Mr. Liang is the investor I mentioned to you many times."

"I really didn't expect that after just a few years of reopening, excellent entrepreneurs compared to the United States appeared...."

Jian Zhikang's voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually became silent, and he obviously understood the meaning of Su Liangyu's words.

Liang Yuan looked at Su Liangyu with satisfaction and sighed helplessly. Lao Su's "bad habit" would be better to find an opportunity to correct it in the future.

"Sorry, Mr. Jian, my height has caused you some trouble. I really feel ashamed of Su Gong's praise." Liang Yuan smiled mockingly and said sincerely.

After all, Jian Zhikang was influenced by the foreign social atmosphere for a long time. He was much more likely to accept the fact that young people were entrepreneurship than domestic people. His shocked expression only lasted for five or six seconds and returned to normal. Although there were no young geniuses in Bell Labs, there were definitely many people who were successful in creating a career in Silicon Valley, California, at the forefront of the US electronics industry.

Jian Zhikang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand the mentality of my old classmates asking me to go back to China to see it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the mainland of the motherland would have a entrepreneurship soil similar to that of California in the United States, and gave birth to a young corporate talent like Mr. Liang."

"I really don't dare to take it as a talent. My personal entrepreneurship comes from an accident. Now I'm just investing in it, but I can't stop it if I get too big."

"Mr. Liang doesn't have to be too humble. Extraordinary people will definitely do extraordinary things. I am very much looking forward to returning to China this time." Jian Zhikang said with a smile.

None of the three of them deliberately talked about the topic of electronics. They just chatted casually from all over the world. It was limited to Su Liangyu and Jian Zhikang's professions. Often the topics were related to the current booming electronics technology in the United States. Liang Yuan listened most of the time, and occasionally interjected and often pointed to the core.

He sent Jian Zhikang to the emergency hotel in Nanhu Science and Technology Park. After arranging the room, Liang Yuan was not staying for a long time. He said politely and freed up space for Su Liangyu and Jian Zhikang to reminisce.

"How is it? I didn't exaggerate it." Su Liangyu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Liang's division of the future is still very accurate. From the analog era to the digital era, from narrowband to broadband, he still has a good understanding of the cutting-edge of American electronic technology."

"However, many of Mr. Liang's views are very close to the third wave of Toffler's works, and are more concrete and materialized. However, I was surprised by the high evaluation of the uucp network (Note 1) proposed by our laboratory ten years ago. I understand what you said, and his eyes seem to be able to see through the future." Jian Zhikang said while placing his luggage.

"Old Su, don't you take me to your territory for a while? Let me see what you have made in China over the years?" Jian Zhikang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take you around, although it's incomparable to the United States, after you go to the laboratory, you will understand why I said that this company will be an oasis in the domestic electronic desert."

Liang Yuan leaned against Volga's wide back seat and stretched his waist tightly, but his head was turning around the scenes after meeting Jian Zhikang. No matter what, Su Liangyu's mission was completed, bringing people from the United States to China. However, how should he convince this scientist who seems to have a low emotional intelligence but is actually extremely smart?

Judging from the current poor scientific research environment and atmosphere in China, it is not comparable to the United States. In addition to being the emotional card of the descendants of Yan and Huang, he also has to find a trump card with a huge shock. Liang Yuan rubbed his swollen forehead with a headache.

Note 1: The ancestor of modern Internet. (Welcome to come, your support is my greatest motivation.)
