Chapter 24 The Era of Profiteering
During the morning meal, Sarilang was obviously a little absent-minded.
"Abaga, it's good to answer the phone." She looked at Qin Dong expectantly, but Qin Dong took out a box and handed it to her with a smile.
pager?
Sarilang blushed, "Abaga, this is very expensive..."
But Qin Dong stood up with a smile. The April sunshine hit him, warm and bright, just like Dudley Aga's smile when he first arrived at the grassland...
Eji was also looking at them with a smile. She seemed to be busy forever, working forever, and her eyes were full of kindness. As long as she was there, Qin Dong would feel at ease no matter where he went.
"Sarilang, I ask you, do you want to work in high-end jobs in this era?" Qin Dong gestured to answer the phone, "You have to answer the phone too."
As soon as he heard that he was answering the phone, Sarilang smiled, "What kind of high-end job is it?"
"It has something to do with what you are in your hand." Qin Dong smiled and clicked on the pager in her hand, imitating the way on TV and said in Mandarin, "If you have something to do, call me!"
Pagers and wireless paging networks appeared in my country in the early 1980s. After more than 10 years of development, they have reached their peak in the 1990s.
In the 1990s, pagers in Beijing, Qinwan and other places were already very popular. Of course, the big brothers were still used by a few wealthy people. When I saw a huge mobile phone on the street, I gave people the first impression of being a "big guy".
Because not only is the machine expensive, it also requires a telephone fee of one yuan and two yuan per minute (two-way charges), and a frequency occupancy fee of 200 yuan per month, because a frequency point of a radio signal is like a road, and you will charge a portion of money if you occupy one road.
Even if you save money, the monthly phone bill will cost 300 to 400 yuan, which ordinary people can’t afford to buy, and even more so.
However, pagers began to become popular all over the country, especially in 1990, Motorola launched the first pager that supports Chinese information display. The pager market was extremely prosperous for a while, and pager stations in various places and pager stations were blooming like mushrooms after a rain!
The 10-year era of huge profits in the paging industry has officially begun!
In this era of huge profits, the most prosperous paging industry has also created a career that was once quite popular - Miss Paging.
In the 1990s, Miss Hutai's job was simply out of the blue. First, the high-tech telecommunications industry, how much could it be done in the 1990s? Second, the salary was high, with a monthly salary of more than 800 yuan, and more than 1,000 yuan. Compared with a worker's monthly salary of 200 yuan, this salary would be at least 20,000 yuan in later generations.
This is definitely a high-end job at this time!
Santana traveled all the way and stopped in the yard of the Qinwan Electrical Section of Shennan Railway Bureau.
Looking out from the car window, there were many people gathered in the yard. Santana drove in and attracted their attention.
Qin Dong pushed the door and got out of the car, and everyone surrounded him, smiling and cautious.
Um?
Qin Dong stopped, and he didn't say anything and looked at the group of people like this. There were not many people, and there were always more than eighty or ninety people.
Needless to mention that he had been a factory director for several years, even his identity in his previous life made him look very powerful. Someone whispered to him, "Are you President Li?"
Qin Dong knew that these people had misunderstood, "Are you?" He did not rush to deny himself.
"We want to run a paging station..."
"I want to do it too. I'll come first. I've been waiting for you for two weeks..."
"Li Duan, my surname is Gao, Cui xx in the city has greeted you..."
...
Puchi-
Gao Hu almost laughed out loud. It turned out that these people were also here to set up a paging station. This was a narrow encounter, but I had been waiting for two weeks, but there was no result?
Qin Dong smiled. In this era, it is not only himself who is smart. Many people have a keen sense of smell. Opportunities are placed in front of everyone to recognize it, but they must also be able to grasp it.
"I'm not, you recognize the wrong person." Qin Dong carried the military green bag on his body and walked inside.
"Oh, I understand, you are here to run a paging station?" The most enthusiastic middle-aged man just now pulled down his face, "We're still busy for a long time, tell you, it's useless!"
"He has been waiting for two weeks and went to Duan Zhang's house, but no one has seen him!"
"Yes, the country has no policies, and private paging stations are difficult!!!"
...
They are right. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued Document No. 55 in 1993, and social operating units were allowed to enter the telecommunications business market, and the paging market has been fully opened.
Before this year, radio has always been a strictly controlled industry. In addition to the certificates that other companies must apply for, they also need to apply for radio frequency points, a large number of telephone relay lines, and the setting up of radio towers. Therefore, paging stations that were able to obtain industry licenses in the early stages were all well-known, with officials and businessmen gathering.
126,127 (number) 128 (Hanxian), is a subordinate of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, which belongs to the main root; 180 paging belongs to the Beijing Telephone Bureau, 188,189 paging belongs to the Beijing Long-distance Telephone Bureau... 191,192 paging is opened by China Unicom.
There are also the Sanitary Communications paging of China's Sanitary Communications, the Far-looking paging of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission... Comrades paging, Huaying paging, Maoda, and Jinda paging, all have military backgrounds. Dayou paging belongs to the Central D School, and Beijing's Zhongda paging belongs to the Xicheng District Committee...
Among them, railways, civil aviation, and Chinese businessmen will know which ministries and commissions belong to. At this time, the agency operations are legal and compliant, and there are major state-owned enterprises with strong capital: China Travel, China Travel, Huaneng, Peony, etc. There is another type of paging station with only computer rooms and no transmitting stations, and it depends entirely on others. For example, Huaxun Campus Network, there are small paging stations from many colleges and universities such as Beiyou and Beilin.
Seeing these people looking different and complaining with their arrival, Qin Dong ignored them, but before he could enter the building, a young woman in a railway uniform came out from it.
"Secretary Qin, you arrived so quickly," she stretched out her hand enthusiastically, "We Li Duan are waiting for you upstairs..."
"Oh, I've been waiting for him for a long time," Qin Dong smiled and shook hands. He didn't know this woman. After introducing himself, he realized that he was a senior official of the group of the electric service department. He also served as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the city. He didn't know this woman, but this woman knew him.
Seeing Qin Dong walk into the building, a beautiful young woman greeted her, the people in the yard were surprised.
"Who is this? Is it related?" Everyone looked at Santana in Qin Dong at the same time. These days, Santana is either rich or noble.
Someone speculated, "Didn't you hear someone calling him secretary?"
"Where is the secretary, so young?"
"Oh, no one has to guess. I know this person," said one person, "This is Qin Dianzi, the famous Rongya District!"
"Oh," the person beside him slapped his thigh, "He also serves as the deputy secretary of the city's Youth League Committee!"
