"Academician Zhao, the conditions for researching optical fibers in China are too poor. If you can come to Wujiang Group, we can provide you with the best research equipment and a large number of talents!" said the person who invited him.
Hearing this, Academician Zhao Zisen felt a deep sense of sorrow. He had been engaged in optical fiber research for one or two decades under extremely difficult conditions, and now finally a company was willing to invest heavily in the field of optical fiber!
Academician Zhao Zisen's biggest dream is that China's fiber optic technology can catch up with Western countries as soon as possible. Therefore, he readily accepted the invitation from Wujiang Group and said that he would call on a group of friends who are researching in the field of fiber optics to pool the strength of the whole country to promote the development of China's optoelectronic information industry!
"Academician Zhao Zisen, China is fortunate to have you! I believe that China's fiber optic network will catch up with, and even surpass, Western countries!"
A few days later, Academician Zhao Zisen visited Wujiang Group.
Zhao Ye personally came out to welcome this "Father of China's Fiber Optics".
"Academician Zhao Zisen, it's a pleasure to have you join Wujiang Group!" Zhao Ye said warmly, shaking Academician Zhao Zisen's hand.
Academician Zhao Zisen smiled warmly: "It is my honor to join Wujiang Group!"
The two walked and talked.
At this point, Zhao Ye proposed the concept of full-wave optical fiber, namely low-water-peak single-mode optical fiber g.652c, to Academician Zhao Zisen.
However, Academician Zhao Zisen immediately recognized the immense difficulty of the task after hearing it.
This technology was first introduced by Lucent Technologies in 1998, and Corning developed low water peak fiber in 2001. The technology was quickly adopted worldwide.
"Academician Zhao Zisen, I know this is difficult, but many people will be working with you on this research, including employees from Corning, Lucent, Philips, NTT, Sumitomo, and Furukawa. The company is currently recruiting, and we should be able to bring in quite a few engineers! Oh, and by the way, Jena in East Germany, which supplies glass to East Zeiss, will also be involved in the optical fiber research and development!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zisen couldn't help but sigh. This was the reason why Wujiang Group had such strong scientific research capabilities. In order to develop products, they spared no expense to recruit talents into Wujiang.
It would be great if other domestic companies had this kind of spirit.
A week later, Zhao Ye still hadn't received Minister Huo Xingwei's notification, but the Wujiang Fiber Optic Project had already been launched, with a direct investment of $250 million in research and development.
Wujiang will not lay fiber optic cables on a large scale until qualified fiber optic cables are successfully developed.
During this period, Wujiang Group had ample time to complete the development of internet devices such as network servers, routers, switches, optical modems, repeaters, hubs, bridges, and gateways, as well as various protocols.
Another option is to establish a chain of internet cafes. Once fiber optic cables are laid, these internet cafes can all be connected to the internet, making China the country with the largest number of internet users in an instant.
Moreover, Zhao Ye believes that given Wujiang Group's credibility among the Chinese people, if it were to develop the e-commerce industry, it would certainly gain the trust of users, and perhaps the development speed of China's e-commerce industry would far exceed that of the United States.
By March 1990, 2,500 internet cafes had been renovated nationwide. These first batch of internet cafes were mainly located in densely populated urban areas, with an average of 80 computers per internet cafe.
A steady stream of Hasee computers are being shipped from the Wujiang PC manufacturing plant in Shenzhen to all parts of the country.
The upcoming Hasee computer will be presented to the public for the first time as a computer specifically designed for internet cafes.
Zhao Ye has already set the official launch date for Hasee computers—April 1st, just as the Western world celebrates April Fool's Day, to give them a surprise.
"Liu Yinyin, make a note: when Shenzhou Computer is launched, 100 computers will be donated to all universities across the country. I want all college students in China to learn and use the HarmonyOS operating system!" Zhao Ye suddenly thought of something and instructed Liu Yinyin beside him.
Currently, there are only 368 universities in China. Even if each university donated 100 computers, that would only amount to 36,800 computers. The manufacturing cost of each computer is less than 2,000 RMB, meaning the total cost of donating computers would not exceed 100 million RMB.
It's affordable and free, and it can also earn you a good reputation!
