Chapter 218: Popularization of the Internet

In 1992, post and telecommunications were not separated, and the post office and telecommunications department were the same organization. Many of the backbone employees or managers of Longteng Telecommunications Company were employees of the original post office.

Since most people are not familiar with how information technology should be developed, Zhang Bixuan will become the commander-in-chief unswervingly. Zhang Bixuan does not have to worry about a specific technology, that is the engineer's business. Zhang Bixuan mainly guides the development direction of the network. After all, at that time, the US Internet is also in a state of exploration.

However, the United States has more technical talents than China, and they can carry out many development directions at the same time, allowing the market to eliminate those with weak competitiveness. However, China cannot fail. If it fails, it will waste precious time to surpass the United States.

China's per capita GDP is not high. Even if Guangdong Province, the most economically developed, is far inferior to developed countries, if China only started to develop the Internet in 1997, it would have to charge more than 100,000 yuan to allow people to install the Internet, it would undoubtedly slow down the development of the Internet in the early stage.

Later, as the number of users increased, the cost of maintaining and developing the Internet by the telecommunications department gradually decreased to each netizen. In the end, most Chinese Internet users accepted free installations, and then paid for broadband monthly services ranging from dozens to hundreds of yuan. The development speed of network users increased like an explosion.

"Can users connect to the Internet for free and attract more PC users to upgrade to netizens. Then you can consider charging about 300 yuan a month to maintain the development of Longteng Network!" Zhang Bixuan instructed.

Now Longteng Telecom Company is not short of funds, and can fully struggle for losses for a few years in the early stage. When the network users develop to a certain scale, they will soon enter the profit era. As long as the number of users is large, I believe that various network companies in China will be born one by one, and Longteng Telecom will provide services to the company to the company to be the time to make a lot of money.

"For users' computers to connect to the network for free?" Many supervisors from Longteng Network Company's telecommunications department muttered, "In the past, when users installed telephone lines, it took tens of thousands of yuan. If a network with 150 billion yuan was installed, when would it be profitable?"

"As the employees present, as one of the major shareholders of Longteng Telecom, I invested two-thirds of the funds in the early stage. If China's information technology industry is prosperous and there are many Internet users, then I make money. On the contrary, I lose money and become a laughing stock in the mall. I want to tell you that in the future, if you master the Internet, you will have control over the world. Maybe we will not see the day when the Internet will completely dominate the world in the whole life. However, I can tell you that the Internet industry can contribute 1 trillion GDP to China, and in 10 years it can contribute 10 trillion GDP to China every year!" Zhang Bixuan said, "Maybe you haven't realized that a new information industry represents the fourth industrial revolution! China missed a great development opportunity in the first two industrial revolutions, and China only enjoyed a small part of the results in the third industrial revolution. Then we must seize the opportunity in the fourth industrial revolution!"

"We are creating history! If we seize this opportunity to replace the United States as the world's strongest country, then the historical astronomy network will contribute 10 trillion yuan to China's GDP, which is a huge number. Some people are petty thinking happily. China's GDP is only 3 trillion yuan now. If the GDP contributed by the information technology industry in 10 years will reach 10 trillion yuan, then how much GDP will other industries generate under their promotion? Then my salary will be...

Although Zhang Bixuan didn't know what many of the employees present were thinking, he was very satisfied that everyone no longer opposed helping ordinary computer users provide network equipment for free and connecting their computers to the Internet.

This year, under the decision of Chief Deng, China took the lead in the information technology frenzy.

In December 1992, the Ministry of Information Industry of China was officially born, and the two major departments of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry were merged. The central government held many meetings and emphasized that the information technology industry will be the focus of national strategic development. Longteng Technology, Longteng Telecom, Huawei and other companies have become key support companies. There are also hundreds of small night-consuming and information technology-related related products that have also become the targets of policy support.

Many people have found that Longteng Technology basically belongs to a private enterprise group, Huawei also belongs to a private enterprise, and Longteng Telecom is also a semi-state-owned and semi-private group.

Chief Deng explained: "Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, it is all contributed to China's economy and technology. The contributions made by Longteng Group to China's economy and technology in recent years are obvious to all. At least 40% of the fiscal and tax revenue of the entire central government are collected by Longteng Group and enterprises closely related to Longteng! The State Patent Office of China counts 60% of China's patents in 1992, and the scientific research results were registered by Longteng! In contrast, many state-owned enterprises are now bloated in scale, with disrespectful ideas, economic benefits, and scientific research results are rarely seen. This does not mean that hundreds of millions of state-owned enterprise workers are not hardworking, but the main problem lies in the leaders!"

On January 1, 1993, Longteng Network in some cities in Guangdong Province had been laid out. Longteng Telecom Company first opened some free Internet cafes on bustling streets in big cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou. There are some employees of Longteng Telecom Company who popularize network knowledge in the Internet cafes. These Internet cafes will of course allow users to try online in the future.

Now, Longteng Telecom mainly provides adsl internet access, making the network speed of ordinary users reach more than 64kb/s, which is hundreds of times faster than the educational network or other network used by many colleges for academic exchanges. It reaches the 0.5m network speed that China often said after 2000, and is now the leading international leader! Moreover, with the improvement of technology, Longteng Telecom will provide faster network speeds such as 1m, 2m, 4m. I believe that even if it is used to play online games, if it is stuck, it is definitely not the Internet speed. If you want to blame it, it is a bit of a problem. The hardware technology has not yet been followed. Of course, the legendary online games moved to China, Longteng Game Company has been researching it, and it will be put into the market after a few years.
