Lin Shuyi understands Lu Yiming's logic more and more.

Since Lu Yiming knew that PHS had so many shortcomings, why did he still vote?

It's like rushing in even though you know there's a dead end ahead.

Isn't this a disease?

Faced with Lin Shuyi's doubts, Lu Yiming smiled lightly and said: "Because PHS is cheap enough. In the face of the absolute price, any shortcomings will no longer be shortcomings. Just like if you are sitting in a Rolls-Royce now, you will endure it."

But its ground is not tough enough

, the sound insulation is not strong enough...are these problems? No, because it is a luxury car worth millions and tens of millions. But if this Rolls-Royce only sells you 50,000 yuan, will you care about it?

Is it the chassis, sound insulation, or control or something like that?”

Because the construction cost of PHS is much lower than that of traditional 2G base stations, and precisely because of the low cost, the tariffs are very cheap.

Just like the PHS service first launched by Yuhang Telecom, there is a one-way charge, and there is no charge for answering calls. The monthly rent is 20 yuan, and the call fee is only 20 cents per minute.

This tariff standard is very sensational in this era, because it is only about one-fifth of that of China Mobile and China Unicom, and is basically the same as fixed-line services.

In addition, the price of PHS mobile phones is also very cheap, only a few hundred yuan. Compared with mobile phones that cost tens of thousands of yuan, they are not in the same dimension at all, so they are very attractive to users.

Other investors hesitated because they were unsure of the country's policy direction, but Lu Yiming knew it.

In June 2000, the Ministry of Information Industry will issue a notice positioning PHS as a "supplement and extension of fixed-line telephones", which indicates that the policy restricting the development of PHS has been relaxed.

By then, telecommunications companies all over the country will launch PHS services one after another.

Wu Ying also made an annual income of 23 billion by relying on the PHS business!

Even if this money can only be earned for a few years, it's still a big deal. Lu Yiming even drooled over it.

If it weren't for the late layout, he would have wanted to snatch this business away.

However, a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. Now that Wu Ying has taken action, Lu Yiming can only participate in the company and receive dividends.

Lin Shuyi suddenly understood Lu Yiming's logic, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Your perspective is really tricky. There is a request for ten thousand yuan for ten thousand yuan, and there is a thousand yuan for one thousand yuan."

You don’t even have a request for 100 yuan. I’m so moved by what you said, how about I also invest in PHS?”

Lu Yiming said: "If you really want to vote, you might as well vote for PHS. I think Ma Jack is more interesting, and I vote for him more."

"Ma Jack? That guy talks so much about trains, what's the point?"

Lin Shuyi directly refused without thinking: "You don't have anything in your hand, so you dare to brag to the sky. I tell you, don't let him fool you. That guy's character is not very good."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "You can make money only if you have bad character. You don't understand. If ordinary people want to make a lot of money, they have to have extraordinary means, be bold, careful, and thick-skinned. He perfectly meets the conditions. Are you sure you don't want to invest?"

"Don't vote."

Lu Yiming didn't persuade him much.

After the party, Lu Yiming began to negotiate related investments. Of course, these matters were left to Li Yiwen.

Li Yiwen was shocked when he learned that Lu Yiming actually planned to invest in Jack Ma.

Apparently Majek has become famous.

"Why did you invest in this guy? That guy is not reliable at all. The websites he runs are all flashy, but he doesn't actually make much money."

It’s no wonder that Li Yiwen is not optimistic about Jack Ma. In fact, in China in 1998, the Internet atmosphere was not particularly strong. It was mainly a group of high-level intellectuals crowded in their own circles to make troubles. There was still a long way to go before it could be popularized by all the people.

distance.

And if a thing cannot be popularized by all people, its market share is destined to be very small.

Li Yiwen said: "To be honest, I am not optimistic about online shopping, because there are still many obvious problems that have not been solved. Nowadays, online shopping is just giving money. If nothing else, how many people have computers at home? These people

What percentage of them will buy things online? If you have this spare time, you might as well use the money to open a shopping mall."

Lu Yiming did not refute Li Yiwen, but said: "This is indeed the case now. But when doing business, if you don't have a long-term vision, you will really lose money. The reason why I invested in Ma Jack is mainly to bet on the future. Internet shopping will be in the near future.

In the future, it will definitely become the mainstream of the market. Think about it, is the economy getting more and more developed now? Are people getting richer and richer? And will computers become cheaper and cheaper? By then, every household will have a computer.

Just like America now."

Li Yiwen understood immediately and suddenly said: "No wonder you asked me to buy Amazon stocks when I went to the United States before."

However, he then frowned and said: "Since you are optimistic about this track, why don't we just do it ourselves? Why invest in Ma Jie Ke? That guy's reputation in the circle is not very good, and he is evaluated

For a restless braggart. Do you think he will succeed?"

Lu Yiming smiled faintly and said: "Our stall is not small now. Blind expansion is not advisable. Besides, online shopping is a big and long track. With my current energy, to be honest, I don't have time."

It's better to give Jack money to do it. Besides, he hasn't succeeded now, so everyone says he's bragging. But when he succeeds, it won't be called bragging."

Li Yiwen was speechless and said: "Are you so sure that he will succeed? What if you are mistaken?"

Lu Yiming said very freely: "Then it's a loss of five million US dollars. What's the big deal?"

"..."

Very good, you have successfully pretended to be cool again.

After leaving the investment details to Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming picked up his schoolbag and returned to campus.

Wednesday, November 18th.

Shi Qingxue started to feel gloomy early in the morning. When it was time to have lunch, she had a flat mouth. When she looked at Lu Yiming several times, she hesitated to speak.

Lu Yiming reached out and touched Shi Qingxue's lower abdomen: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Come and let me touch it."

"No need..."

Shi Qingxue dodged and swatted away Lu Yiming's dirty hand.

Although the two had physical contact, Shi Qingxue was still very shy in a place with so many people in the cafeteria.

"Hey, do you remember what day it is today?"

Lu Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday seemed to be International College Students' Day. As for today, it's nothing special. What's wrong?"

"Huh, I won't talk to you anymore."

Shi Qingxue took her rice bowl and pouted as she went to find Cao Jingwen, who was sitting diagonally across the table next door.

The reason why Cao Jingwen sat so far away, according to her own words, was because she didn't want to be spoiled even for a meal. She also said that she would definitely come back with revenge when she finds her boyfriend.

Cao Jingwen saw Shi Qingxue sitting across from her with an unhappy expression, and immediately smiled and said, "You finally remembered me?"

Shi Qingxue held her chin unhappily and asked Cao Jingwen depressedly: "Tell me, did Lu Yiming forget that today is my birthday? I tried it several times, but he didn't react at all."

"It turns out you were keeping a straight face because of this matter. I thought you two had a quarrel."

Cao Jingwen helped Shi Qingxue complain: "Lu Yiming is really careless."

However, she then changed the topic and said, "Boys are like this. They often even remember their own birthdays. How about you remind Lu Yiming?"

Shi Qingxue snorted and said, "I don't want to do that. It would feel so embarrassing. I've obviously reminded her before."

After eating, Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen left without waiting for Lu Yiming.

During class in the afternoon, Shi Qingxue also looked absent-minded, worrying about gains and losses, wondering whether to remind Lu Yiming again. But when school was over in the afternoon, she finally decided to tell Lu Yiming, but when she turned around, Lu Yiming was no longer in the classroom.

Shi Qingxue planned to ask Li Quanwang, but found that Li Quanwang was not in the classroom either, and immediately stamped his feet in anger.

With a depressed mood, Shi Qingxue followed Cao Jingwen to the school gate. Su Yunjin was already driving and waiting outside the school.

Every year for birthdays, Cao Jingwen and several of her close friends would go to Shi Qingxue's house to have dinner. Su Yunjin said hello: "Xiao Cao, long time no see."

Cao Jingwen said obediently: "Hello, Aunt Su."

When Su Yunjin asked, Qingxue said: "Why don't you invite a few more classmates to come to your home to have a fun together tonight?"

Shi Qingxue shook her head, with a bit of melancholy on her face. When she thought that Lu Yiming had forgotten her birthday, she was a little angry, and naturally she was not in the mood to call her friends anymore - besides, she was at school

I don't have any friends either.

By about seven o'clock, it was getting dark outside.

Shi Caijiang walked out pushing a three-layer cake. Seventeen candles were lit on top of the cake, which represented that Shi Qingxue was seventeen years old from this moment on.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Even my grandma who was far away across the ocean called me to send her blessings.

Cao Jingwen asked expectantly: "Xiaoxue, what wish do you plan to make this year?"

Shi Qingxue was not happy at all when she should have been happy because there was no one figure around her that made her think about it day and night.

"I……"

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Shi Caijiang frowned slightly and said, "Who is here at this time? Aunt Liang, go and open the door."

Aunt Liang went to open the door.

Outside the yard, Lu Yiming's voice came: "Happy birthday!"

Shi Qingxue's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran towards the front yard like a rabbit.

Seeing Lu Yiming standing in front of her holding flowers, she was so excited that she cried.
