Chapter 1633 Face Riding Output

A few days later, when the outside world generally believed that there would be no major developments before the December 12 deadline set by the United States, the financial channel unexpectedly inserted a special column called "31G, the Future Has Come" into the industrial news program.

In the trailer, this part will last 16 minutes and 30 seconds.

If it were a standalone show, it would even be a bit short.

But as part of the news, it is already unimaginable length.

At least rarely in the history of financial channels.

But even so, it still didn't attract much attention at first.

After all, as a national strategy, many promotional videos have been shot for 5G.

The trailer also seemed unremarkable, as if it was just another routine technology or commercial promotion.

Especially since it is set in the process of industrial economic news, it seems to further confirm this speculation.

Only some universities and government agencies have issued the requirement to "watch the program and write a review."

However, after the show started, keen observers immediately smelled something unusual.

The program did not adopt the usual feature film format, but was a one-time program with a host, guests, and a live director...

Outside broadcast.

The initial footage focused on a core business district in Beijing. The host used on-site experience to visually demonstrate the huge differences between 5G and 4G networks in download speed and smoothness of high-definition video playback.

The time difference in downloading a high-definition movie is so obvious that it is staggering.

The scene then turned back to the interior, where Luan Wenjie, director of the Industrial and Construction Committee, announced that the country's first 5G pilot area was officially open to the public in Beijing.

The content completely echoes the "Future Has Come" in the column title.

But this is just the beginning. The real highlight is in the second half.

That is, after Luan Wenjie finished his speech.

Representatives from Beijing's three mobile operators and China Tower Group, which is responsible for infrastructure construction, gathered together.

The four parties solemnly signed an agreement in front of the camera.

The agreement’s core commitments raise eyebrows:

所有第一批部署在京城5G试点区域的基站设备已全部就位，铁塔集团保证将在2015年1月1日前启动施工，于2015年4月30日前完成所有试点区域的5G信号开放。

Throughout the entire program, from the host to the contracting party, no company was named, and the words or logos of "Ju Factory" or "Huaxing Technology" did not appear anywhere.

Even the phone used by the reporter for testing.

Even though everyone in the world knows what model it is, in order to avoid suspicion of "commercial promotion", the logo was erased through post-production technical means.

However, the words "all base station equipment is in place" are like a bolt from the blue at the current point in time.

Everyone in the industry knows that the main suppliers of 5G base stations are Juchang and Huaxing Technology.

The former, in particular, is the only core supplier that can provide end-to-end 5G solutions and support such large-scale and rapid deployment.

It is not mentioned anywhere throughout the entire program, but it is everywhere.

In this case, it is not difficult to interpret the deep meaning behind this show——

Use the most practical actions to echo the previous strong statements made by the Industrial and Construction Committee and the two companies.

The financial channel has a relatively limited audience, and its broadcast time is awkwardly after the prime time, so the program’s influence did not gradually spread until the next day.

But it's like a huge rock thrown into a lake...

No, it should be a bomb.

It directly stirred up layers of waves, causing the public opinion that had already been fully prepared to erupt again.

As usual, the mainstream media was mostly cautious.

But there are still some commentary articles that give quite clear directions.

[Although the ban on December 12 has not yet been implemented, the content of the program itself cannot prove that the two target companies really have the ability to withstand long-term pressure, but since it was chosen to be broadcast at this time and endorsed by official media, it is sending a clear and positive signal and is also a shot in the arm for global 31G potential customers and capital markets. ]

Some media with semi-official backgrounds are more direct.

[The core message of the program is that China's 5G construction will not be stalled by external interference, and the basic hardware support is already in place. This is the most powerful response to market concerns. ]

In comparison, the reactions from Internet platforms and self-media were much more intense.

Under the manipulation of Mr. Jia, the topic #5G future is here# quickly topped the hot search list.

"I finally figured it out. How can the central bank promote 5G? This is clearly a face-to-face output!" a technology blogger wrote excitedly, with a picture showing a close-up shot of the "equipment in place" at the signing ceremony.

"Beautiful! Give someone a taste of their own medicine! Do the Americans want to turn the table? Let's see who has the stronger cards!" Another highly-rated comment was filled with a sense of pride.

"It's so satisfying to do this on the eve of the ban! It's to let the world see who is truly promoting technological progress!" Similar emotions surged in the comment section.

Of course, there are also calm and even worried voices.

"Are we being too high-profile now? If the Americans really take ruthless action on the 31st, the subsequent pressure will be even greater. I think we should wait for the other side to make the first move." This relatively rational comment also received a lot of support.

"Low-key? The other party has a knife on their neck and you are still keeping a low profile? Only by showing your strength can the other party be afraid! I support showing the sword!" The objector immediately responded.

……

The debate surrounding "whether we should be high-profile at this time" is taking place fiercely on major platforms, with opinions colliding and sparks flying.

However, amidst the hustle and bustle, an undercurrent of ulterior motives began to surge.

On a well-known question-and-answer platform, a big V with millions of fans and the titles of "famous economist" and "visiting professor of XX University" published a "brilliant article" of nearly ten thousand words.

The title is "The Tragedy of Rules: Reflecting on the Deeper Logic Behind the 5G Dispute."

The core argument of the article is very impactful:

[…The recent disputes over 5G standards are, on the surface, a dispute over technology routes and market share, but at a deeper level, they are due to the failure of some Chinese companies to truly integrate into the rules of international business civilization.]

[Companies such as Juchang and Huaxing Technology, with their special backgrounds and radical strategies, are used to "winner takes all" in the domestic market, squeezing out the living space of their peers. Now they are bringing this set of jungle law into the international market, trying to dominate standards and monopolize profits, which naturally arouses public anger and leads to countermeasures from the international community. ]

[The so-called "sanctions" are actually the inevitable correction of disorderly expansion by international rules. We should reflect on our own business ethics instead of blindly blaming the external environment...]

This article, which switched concepts and carried personal agenda, cleverly catered to the psychology of some "reflective freaks" and "rationalists". Moreover, due to its "expert" identity and seemingly "profound" analysis, it was quickly forwarded and spread by multiple marketing accounts and big Vs.

"Finally someone told the truth!", "Companies cannot just focus on wolfishness, they must also focus on rules!", "Support rational analysis and oppose blind self-entertainment!"...

Similar comments began to appear under related topics.

Although it was immediately fiercely criticized by a large number of netizens, it is undeniable that this article and the arguments it represents successfully tore a hole in the chaotic information field, attracted huge traffic, and muddied the waters of public opinion.

And the economist became famous overnight.

Despite the strong smell of gunpowder...

……

"Academician Chang, it's been very busy outside these past few days..."

Just as the public opinion in Beijing was surging, Chang Haonan was in Shengjing, thousands of miles away.

Outside the window is the huge factory area of Shengfei Group and the Beiling Airport with a cold wind under the gloomy sky.

The "Zou Yu" with its autonomous take-off and landing capabilities is undoubtedly an "aircraft", so its production work was handed over to the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

Naturally, the only two companies capable of producing such a thing are Shengfei and Rongfei.

The latter is currently busy switching to the production of the J-20 and is eager to hand over the J-10 production line to its younger brother Guifei. It has no time to spare to take on such a separate task.

So it's only natural.

It was placed in Shengjing.

Now, the No. 01 "Zou Yu" prototype has completed all assembly and ground testing, and all that remains is waiting for the right first flight window.

In a makeshift office, the heating was turned on high.

Chang Haonan sat together with Xing Muchun, deputy chief designer of the "Zou Yu" project, and Bian Lizhen, chief designer in charge of the prototype assembly. The three tea cups in front of them were emitting steam.

The words just now were spoken by Bian Lizhen.

Chang Haonan subconsciously touched his pocket, and then realized that his personal mobile phone had been handed over.

Of course, he didn't need a mobile phone, he knew exactly what the other party meant by "lively".

"Is it the semiconductor ban again?"
