Chapter 591 Paging Station

"We must pay special attention to this base station. All the functions of a pager depend on these communication base stations. It is undoubtedly the core of the entire wireless communication system!"

"It is not only responsible for signal transmission and reception, but also undertakes important functions such as signal processing, user access management, communication quality control, data transmission and switching! The rational layout and efficient operation of base stations are crucial to ensuring the stability and reliability of wireless communication networks!"

A long string of technical terms retrieved from the AI ​​assistant left Bai Ling and Lao Luo completely bewildered.

This also gave Simon Lang a completely new understanding of the importance of base stations.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder this thing is called a base station, the name is really fitting! It's the foundation for everything, the name base station is truly well-deserved!"

He explained all the functions of the base station to Lao Luo and Bai Ling in detail.

Ximen Lang inquired.

"Now you know why I keep emphasizing the importance of improving infrastructure, right?"

After Ximen Lang's explanation
Okay, or more accurately, it should be explained as an AI assistant.

Bai Ling and Lao Luo immediately realized the importance of the base station.

She was immediately amazed, and Bai Ling nodded in agreement.

"It's the foundation for everything, and that's something we really need to pay attention to."

"not enough!"

"what?"

"What I'm saying is that you still don't pay enough attention to or understand the importance of base stations! Because the mobile phones you care about, the 2G network, the 3G network, the 4G network, and the 5G network we are using now, all of these rely on these base stations to operate stably!"

After he finished speaking, Bai Ling and Lao Luo gasped in shock.

He teased them at the same time.
"Are you a little confused? How can this base station be so excellent?"

Meanwhile, Ximen Lang finally confessed to Bai Ling and the others the idea he had completed.

"That's right. It's not just you who look down on pagers. I don't think much of them either, even though they did bring us a lot of help back then!"

"Because in my mind, it's at most a transitional measure, something to deceive... no, something to specifically secure benefits for our foreign friends!"

"Once the time is right, those foreign friends will look down on pagers and think they're outdated. Meanwhile, our production capacity will also increase."

"Let's immediately change direction and start with the brick-sized mobile phones. With each upgrade, we'll ruthlessly fleece the outside world! We'll fleece them all the way up to smartphones!"

"In fact, if conditions permit, it would be best not to let go of even the PHS phones! Don't miss any opportunities or trends, and make a killing off them!"

Yes, they are that heartless, that ruthless, and utterly devoid of humanity.

They claim to be working for the benefit of foreign friends, but in reality, they are treating them like leeks, ready to harvest them one after another!
"Think about it, one pager alone is worth at least 1000 yuan! Note that this is the pager itself, which is worth at least 1000 yuan! If you add the network access fee, service fee, and all sorts of other fees, it can easily sell for 2000 yuan!"

"Even in the later stages, when pagers were everywhere, they could still sell for several hundred dollars after adding up all the costs! And the cost? All the costs added up, at most it was only a few dozen dollars!"

"You can make so much money from just one pager? If it were like our peak years, selling tens of millions of units a year, I can't even imagine how much money you could make in a year!" What's the key point?
The key is that this thing isn't a one-off deal; it can generate income steadily and create countless jobs in Beijing!

That's really going against the grain!
what?
You ask how many jobs it can create?
"Come on, let me explain it to you step by step. First of all, we definitely need to deploy these base stations on a large scale! Not like where we are, we want to build base stations in every no-man's-land."

"At least at the township and town level, and even at the village level once conditions improve, you must have signal coverage. This is absolutely necessary!"

"Building base stations requires a lot of steel, so won't that boost the steel industry? And what about the construction industry? With so many base stations, how many construction teams do you think it can support? It's unimaginable, isn't it?"

"The steel and construction industries alone can provide you with no less than a million jobs. And what if you add the essential paging stations?"

Speaking of this paging station, Ximen Lang has to bring it up separately and have a proper talk with Bai Ling and Lao Luo.

It's not because the paging station can bring a certain number of jobs or generate a certain amount of revenue to Beijing.

Simply because
"The very nature of paging work dictates that a large number of paging positions are reserved for women!"

"Luo, Bai Ling, you're both professionals. You should understand just how significant this is to the world of Beijing, right?"

That's more than just understanding; it's like knowing everything perfectly!
It's a good thing that Director Wang, Director Li, and other grassroots staff weren't here. Otherwise, based on Ximen Lang's words alone, they would have fought tooth and nail for this paging station!

For no other reason than that the current employment environment for women is simply too pessimistic.

Because the priority for development in Beijing is heavy industry, most of the jobs require heavy physical labor!
Jobs like fitter and blacksmith are inherently less friendly to women.

Of course, we do not deny that many women are truly hardworking and have indeed achieved remarkable results in these positions.

For example, there's Liang Ladi, the welder who's as tough as iron and as resilient as steel, and the female fitter in the original series who was jokingly called by He Yuzhu as looking like Pigsy's second aunt.

These are all excellent, very positive, and exemplary examples that deserve to be discussed at length.

But even the most typical examples are still a minority!

Even a very small minority!

All of these are physically demanding jobs, which would certainly increase the employment pressure on women.

Upon hearing this, some people will surely say...

"Wait a minute, if physically demanding jobs aren't good, then there's the textile factory, right? Why not just go to the textile factory? And there's this lighter factory that's about to open up everywhere, aren't these all good options?"

These are indeed good places, but no matter how good they are, can these few factories compare to the rapidly developing and booming heavy industry?
That might not work, right?

"It's very blue."

Therefore, although the country stood up after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people's situation did not improve much due to the lack of a stable source of income and the influence of the old society.

And just then, the paging service, which could create a large number of jobs, arrived.

Do you think Lao Luo and Bai Ling wouldn't be excited?
