In fact, during this period, although foreign 3G technology has been used for almost two years, it is not satisfactory overall, and there are some shortcomings of one kind or another.

In the early stages of development, foreign 3G services actually had several similar characteristics. The first is that they mainly focus on data card services. As a pioneer, data card services occupy a very important position.

In addition, in Japan and Europe, 2G enhanced services play a very important role here. At that time, those who were expected to be very optimistic, such as video phones and conceptual 3G applications, had a very unsatisfactory development, and only the video downloads and browsing were unexpectedly successful.

Why is this happening? In fact, there is a very important reason here. The promotion of 3G services is not actually launched out of thin air. Users do not care whether you are 3G, 2G, or 4G. What they care about is the specific business and what kind of experience users can have.

Therefore, service providers pay great attention to the inheritance and continuity of 3G services to meet users' inertial needs and cultivate usage habits. This is inevitable. Therefore, it is unlikely that 3G will reach the top in one step in the early stage of its development, and will launch these very high-end early-stage services to allow users to accept them immediately.

In terms of terminals, this kind of data card is the first choice, but then there was a huge change. First of all, WCDMA technology became the dominant, and the network coverage reached 58, accounting for a large number of users. At this time, the mainstream application was actually mobile multimedia services, which was closely related to the development of terminals. Because the functions and performance of early 3G mobile phones, including the processing capabilities of DST and application processors, were very limited, so some technologies could not meet some standard processing, editing coding technology, and graphics accelerators for game applications.

But at this time, the manufacturers began to play a role and solved these problems. Using 3G games greatly improved the user experience, and suddenly made this business a very important source of profit for operators. At the same time, many early Internet applications also began to appear, and mobile TV became a very successful application.

Since it is impossible to build a large-scale 3G service network in China, although Fan's Investment Group is now doing 3G mobile phone business, it is basically exported and has a lot of profits. However, Fan Wubing never expected that in the distant western Africa, people have begun to popularize 3G mobile phone technology.

It’s so shameful! Domestic bureaucrats should indeed reflect on it. The monopoly of the telecommunications industry is real, not to say that if a few companies are split, there will be no monopoly. This is simply a move to cover up the bell!

When Fan Wubing was secretly depressed there, Lu Qingtong discovered something. She discovered that the production address on the outer packaging of her mobile phone was re-sticked with self-adhesive strips.

So Lu Qingtong curiously took off the sticker and found a fact that made people laugh.

"This is a product of Fan's Investment Group. It is actually produced by the Suzhou factory-" Lu Qingtong opened her eyes wide and said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing took the mobile phone packaging box and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw the stuck production address and couldn't help but feel a very strange feeling. "I used to hear that someone bought MADEINCHINA's products when he went abroad. I didn't expect that this time it was even more outrageous. He actually bought the products from his own factory!"

The next day, the chief of the local tribe arranged a grand welcome ceremony to entertain Fan Wubing and the others, and the mineral experts and legal experts of Fan Investment Group also rushed over to meet Fan Wubing and the others.

It should be said that everyone was having fun here. Except for the local beauties who were too dark to meet everyone's aesthetic views, there was really no other shortcomings.

Next is to check the mine. The main means of transportation in the local area is airplanes. If you look carefully, you will find many private jets, private hangars and private airports. In fact, the airport's waiting hall is like a larger bar, which completely serves the rich.

Fan Wubing and his team looked down on the plane. Rather than looking at the mines, they were looking at the scenery, mainly looking at the wild animals running below.

Then I drove to the mining area for investigation. On the way, I could see very clear road signs, reminding drivers not to get off the car. It is said that a few months ago, a Japanese man fed a lion because it was convenient to get off the car in the middle. So if the car broke down here, I could only ask for rescue. Seeing the locals singing indigenous language that they couldn't understand and driving a BMW that was speeding on the sand and gravel road, Fan Wubing and others were still worried, but BMW was a BMW. After such a trash along the way, there was no minor problem.

"It seems that the rumors are still credible. Those who buy Chinese products are all low-end products." Fan Wubing commented on this matter in this way. Of course, his opinions have indeed been recognized by everyone. The merchants who fool Chinese people are definitely not the only Japanese.

But it is worth being happy that the iron ore here is very cheap. Because mining is very easy, it is usually piled in open air, at least hundreds of millions of tons. The ore's grade is close to 60% of the iron content, and the cost per ton is only 25 cents. However, transportation is a problem. All costs are basically transportation costs. Here, the iron ore with an original twenty-five cents was more than 5 US dollars to the port, but when it was added to the port, it was almost five US dollars to ship out of the port, and then shipped to China was more than 20 US dollars. Now the shipping price is relatively stable, otherwise the cost would be higher, so transportation here is the key issue.

In order to solve the transportation problem, under the arrangement of the partner, Fan Wubing and his team also met with the relevant railway departments to understand the transportation situation. The railway is the leader in the local area and is very awesome. Most foreigners don’t miss them.

However, unexpectedly, the railway department welcomed Fan Wubing and others' arrival, and it was obvious that it was very enthusiastic, far from the style of the rumor.

Fan Wubing felt a little curious, so he asked the partner and found out after asking this question. These local railways were built by China back then, and those who worked on the railway were basically soldiers during the revolutionary period of the country. Now that the revolution is successful, of course, they have to work in the best departments. These people were trained by Chinese instructors back then.

Because few Chinese people come here, when they see Fan Wubing and others, they feel very intimate, and the feeling of being close suddenly arises. According to them, when they meet Chinese friends, they immediately think of their youthful years and the years of fighting, so they become passionate.

Fan Wubing was amazed when he heard this, thinking that the older generation of proletarian active revolutionaries did good things for the descendants of the nation in Africa. Now the locals still feel so kind to the arrival of the Chinese, and they all take advantage of the kindness of their predecessors! It is said that in order to build railways in Africa, there were many Chinese people who fell here, and many iron ore were also explored by Chinese mineral experts at the time.

With such a mess, everyone's relationship has been much closer, and everyone feels very friendly.

However, everyone soon discovered new problems. After having fun, the two sides began formal negotiations. Africans are also very good at Chinese hospitality tactics. I think they learned it from Chinese instructors back then, but now they are used in the Chinese. In fact, what the Chinese invented is very lethal, and Fan Wubing and others also feel very useful.

The negotiation arrangements were quite tight. They prepared several versions of the contract, each with dozens of pages. It took a long time to read them all.

At this time, Fan Wubing realized that they had to use your negotiation time to arrange customers. If you were negotiating for business, the time here would be tight. If you came from a long distance, you would always have a result to go back and explain it. In this way, they would take the initiative. During the previous visit, they had consumed a lot of time. Now the time that customers can use for negotiation is very tight.

However, this is difficult for Fan Wubing and the others, because Fan Wubing himself is the boss and does not need to worry about time and cost issues at all. It is best to be able to reach a result, but it doesn't matter if the result cannot be reached. Only when the conditions are right can he enter the African mining industry.

And there is another thing that others cannot match, that is, it arrives later than Fan Wubing and others, and there is also an expert team with more than 30 people. With these people as a backing, let alone a few contracts, you can handle it even more.

Therefore, people in Africa were also shocked. Basically, customers who had contacted before could not escape their calculations. Unexpectedly, this time it failed again. It was amazing. However, based on their understanding of the Chinese people, especially the understanding of Chinese instructors who had trained them before, they thought this was also more reasonable. After all, China, a distant country, has many incredible things.

In this way, everyone sat together more pragmatically, then bargained carefully, and strived to reach a consensus.

With the arrival of the expert team, Fan Wubing didn't need to do everything personally. He took Lu Qingtong to drive an off-road vehicle around the world, watching lions, elephants, antelopes, hippos, etc., and had a lot of fun.
