Chapter 682: No Choice

China's Internet industry has developed 10 years ahead of schedule because of the cable modem technology poached by Qin Feng.

Why didn't anyone buy cable modem technology back then? They waited a few years until adsl technology became popular before starting. By that time, it was already very late.

Why this is so, Qin Feng doesn't know. But no matter what the reason is, it is now ahead of schedule.

As for the TV station, they specially invited Qin Feng to ask about the charging issue.

Regarding charges, Qin Feng proposed several levels of charges, which are naturally related to the broadband speed. Starting from the most basic 1m bandwidth, all the way to the currently achievable limit of 36m bandwidth.

If it is 1m, the download speed can be about 128k per second. In future generations, you will not be able to watch movies, you can only watch movies of very rubbish quality.

However, there are currently very few resources on the Internet, and the quality of the movies is indeed not good enough, so it is enough. At least when playing online games, for now, there will be no lag.

In particular, current computer speeds are far slower than broadband speeds.

The 1m broadband proposed by Qin Feng is purely for entry-level purposes, allowing everyone to access the Internet. Therefore, Qin Feng also suggests charging the same fee as wired broadband, which is 15 yuan a month.

This amount of money is affordable for most people. If you charge too high, it may be difficult for ordinary people to access the Internet.

Of course, most people don’t have computers at home now. But by next year, computer prices will start to drop.

Because, next year, in 1998, the Celeron processor will be born.

Currently, AMD chips are occupying the market at half the price of Intel. However, the performance of AMD chips is so poor that almost no personal computer users will consider AMD chips.

This has also led to the fact that computer prices are still a bit high. However, with the advancement of AMD technology, the gap with Intel has gradually narrowed. By next year, facing the situation that the mid-to-low-end market may be completely cannibalized by AMD, Intel will launch

Celeron processor.

This directly caused a computer to drop from its originally high price to the ground in an instant, and the price was cut in half.

Therefore, the road to popularizing computers in China began. After all, Celeron processors are very good.

Now, let’s launch it first. Next year, many people will naturally start surfing the Internet.

After the entry speed of 1m, it jumps directly to the broadband of 10m, and the price also changes from the original 15 yuan a month to 98 yuan a month.

Obviously, this is currently unacceptable to most individuals. This is also aimed at companies.

After all, for the company, 98 yuan a month is acceptable.

Then, 20m broadband itself rises to 298 yuan. For large companies, as long as the speed is good, the price does not matter. This little money is nothing.

As for the ultimate 36m broadband, Qin Feng recommends a monthly service fee of 598 yuan.

In these days, 36m broadband speed is already very fast, almost as fast as flying. And for large companies that want to have such speed, this little money is nothing.

"Mr. Qin, we think your price positioning is feasible!" After studying for a long time, the director nodded repeatedly.

It ensures entry-level prices and absolute profits for the TV station.

"Qin Feng, we finally understand everything. We have now begun entrusting manufacturers to produce it! It is expected that our own cable modem will be on the market in a month." Lei Jun called.

"That's good!" Qin Feng smiled, "How's the production capacity?"

"Well, we can currently guarantee the production of 10,000 units a month." Lei Jun said.

Ten thousand units? Qin Feng thought about it and found that this is basically enough for now.

Of course, production capacity will gradually increase as production line workers become familiar with it. At the same time, if enough orders are signed, the manufacturer will increase production lines and recruit more workers to increase production capacity.

"For now, it's OK. Then we can talk about cooperation with other cities!" Qin Feng said, "We will negotiate with several big cities first, and then gradually win over second- and third-tier cities!"

As for the current cooperation between the two parties, the cooperation with Beijing TV Station is Qin Feng providing equipment and technical services, with a 50-50 split.

In other words, the TV station only provides the cable cable platform, and everything else belongs to Qin Feng. Of course, the cable TV station will be responsible for signing the contract and then issuing the relevant orders to Qin Feng's company.

Then, Qin Feng Company sent staff to the door to install the wired cable. As for after-sales service, the TV station also provided a customer service hotline, and then transferred relevant issues to Qin Feng's staff to come to deal with it.

It can be said that the TV station has to pay very little, but it takes half of the income. This may seem unfair, but if people have such a platform, they have such rights.

Qin Feng is not jealous of this. After all, the platform is king.

What's more, in the competition between Internet service providers, TV stations also need to compete with other companies such as China Mobile and China Unicom to counter the blockade of these companies.

It would be impossible for you to rely on Qin Feng alone to handle this kind of thing.

Qin Feng doesn't have the connections or face to deal with these big companies.

"Well, I know, I will set off immediately to negotiate in other cities and win this contract!" Lei Jun nodded.

Lei Jun is not worried about cooperating with TV stations. The reason is very simple. Currently, this technology is unique and only they master it. Then there is no possibility of bargaining with the TV station, and in terms of price, the TV station does not suffer any loss.

If you think about it this way, then naturally no TV station will give up such cooperation.

All this is a matter of course.

Of course, now that cable modems are about to be fully online, the current domestic Internet services will also have to change.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the portal website!

Currently, portals are lacking in China. This is because, for rookie netizens, they need to use portals to discover information, Internet resources, and various resources.

As for search engines, Qin Feng naturally understands that this needs to be done. In this regard, Yahoo has resources. Qin Feng will talk to Yahoo when the time comes to build a domestic search engine. This only needs to occupy the market in advance.

, then latecomers will not be able to challenge its status.

For example, in later generations, Baidu occupies an absolute monopoly position that no one can challenge. Even though Baidu has been reduced to selling rankings and selling fake medicines. But as domestic netizens, Baidu still comes first.
