Chapter 576 Some people are happy and some are worried

Minister Zhang believed Fan Wubing's answer quite trusted.

Because under the current situation, if the Vatican wants to establish diplomatic relations with the mainland, it will inevitably abolish diplomatic relations with Taipei. Therefore, as the spokesperson of Western forces, Paul II is unlikely to agree to do so. At least in his opinion, it seems a bit unkind to abandon the original alliance due to historical reasons.

For many big countries, the mainland has obviously better strategic significance to them than Taipei, so changing courses is an inevitable choice, but for small countries like the Vatican, the impact can be ignored, because Taipei naturally spares no effort to win over these only diplomatic countries. On the contrary, if you abandon Taipei and choose the mainland, you may not be treated so generously.

After all, everyone is just making small plans for their own interests and does not have too many so-called just stances.

Therefore, Minister Zhang does not believe that Paul II came here because he wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the mainland. The inside information raised by Fan Wubing is more realistic and credible.

Of course, Fan Wubing did not tell Minister Zhang more about the specific matters. Not to mention some things, such as ministerial officials, like those at the Central Committee, may not have the chance to understand them. Only those who entered the Politburo could know everything.

Although Fan Heng had nothing to do with this matter, he knew it because he had just returned to Jiangnan Province and did not make it. Similarly, Fan Heng was not the only one who did not understand this matter.

Paul II did consider the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations with the mainland. Once an agreement is reached at this time, the Vatican's activities on the mainland will have a legal basis, their influence will be expanded a lot, and their status in the history of the church will be improved to a certain extent. After all, this is a big country with a population of more than one billion.

But he also knew very well that there are still many different voices within the Vatican, preventing the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the mainland. These forces should not be underestimated. Even though he is the Pope, he may not be able to monopolize the power. His influence in the Vatican is far more religious than political.

"No matter what, today's wedding was held very well!" Minister Zhang also took a glass of champagne, touched Fan Wubing for a moment, and then asked with a hint of a smile, "But I have a question. Who will be the director of you when you get married? Can it be more outstanding than today? This is a question!"

Fan Wubing scratched his hair and said, "I really haven't considered this matter. It's a headache! It's better to manipulate people than to be manipulated by others. I'm really worried that I will be teased like a gray grandson when the time comes!"

After a while, after the newcomers were greeted by several central officials, these people began to evacuate in advance. After all, everyone came here mainly to give Fan Heng and Fan Wubing their family face, not to treat guests to dinner. The Revolution did not treat guests to dinner.

As soon as they left, the scene here became much more lively. At the order of Fan Wubing, several singing and dancing troupes invited were immediately tossing and making fun of the music in the venue, and the music in the venue also changed from the grandeur just now and became lively.

At this time, Fan Ting had already changed her wedding dress, wore a red cheongsam, and her headdress also changed to a set of phoenix-eating hairpins made of platinum and diamonds, which looked particularly eye-catching.

When Fan Ting and Han Chu came over together, Fan Ting grabbed Fan Wubing and complained, "Marriage is really a painful thing. It has been manipulated last night. You must rest early in the evening."

Fan Wubing made fun of him, "Ha, sister, you can do whatever you like, but you must be careful of your health. Don't play too crazy, it's a long time to come!"

When several bad elderly, middle-aged and young men heard this, they immediately laughed in silence. Fan Ting was so angry that she couldn't help but beat Fan Wubing to relieve her hatred before she gave up.

Most of the people were business people. Seeing Fan Wubing present, many people gathered around and talked about the Huafeng Network that was established today.

"Mr. Fan, Yinghaiwei seems to be unable to do it anymore. Even the president has resigned. Look at the prospects of the Internet, are you really that optimistic? Have your company's network service projects really made a profit?" A person with a good relationship asked Fan Wubing.

After thinking about it, Fan Wubing felt that he should make some comments on this point to establish his authority in the Internet industry. So he considered the sentence and said, "First of all, our network service company is still in the stage of high-speed construction and is far from profitable. Secondly, the demise of Yinghaiwei is basically something that is just around the corner."

When talking about Yinghaiwei's development path, it can be said that it is a process from pioneer to pioneer.

From a pioneer to a martyr, Yinghaiwei has taken a heroic journey and played a milestone role in the development of China's Internet. So much so that later netizens no longer knew who Yinghaiwei was. However, for the early Chinese Internet practitioners, Yinghaiwei was once an iconic banner.

In 1996, Yinghaiwei was founded. The boss Zhang Shuxin's tone and courage made Yinghaiwei quickly famous in the Zhongguancun area overnight. At that time, the Internet of Information Highway and the Internet were still a brand new term for most people. Although Fan's Internet Service Company had begun to provide optical cable access services, the market was too large and the supply speed was too slow, so this market was enough for everyone to come in and share it together. Within two months, Yinghaiwei had 6,000 users in Beijing and became a very famous intercom service provider in this area.

However, at that time, the Chinese Internet market environment was far from mature, and the total number of people in China was less than 80,000. When most Chinese people did not know what the Internet was, in addition to Internet access merchants, Yinghaiwei also had to cultivate popularizers of the market's intercom concept and was responsible for content production.

In this regard, Zhang Shuxin later summarized that she did the right thing at the wrong time and place. Such things obviously won't be rewarded.

In September 1996, Xingfa Group invested in Yinghaiwei, and Yinghaiwei's total share capital became 80 million yuan. With strong financial support, this small company began to grow rapidly.

After obtaining an investment of 80 million yuan, Yinghaiwei rented two communication lines with a large amount of money, one was a satellite line and the other was a national data line. The company focused on building a network day and night.

In Yinghaiwei's plan, forty urban nodes will be built across the country this year so that users of these cities can roam freely. However, although Fan Wubing did not take any action against them, the General Administration of Telecommunications made Yinghaiwei's efforts almost wasted.

Last year, the price of the Internet access market of the State Administration of Telecom suddenly decreased, and the low price of Intercom access caused Yinghaiwei's large network to plummet. Under the squeeze of the State Administration of Telecom, by the end of last year, Yinghaiwei had already suffered huge losses.

This month, due to serious losses and lack of subsequent funds, the major shareholder Xingfa Group and Zhang Shuxin had a conflict. In the midst of crisis, Zhang Shuxin had to announce his resignation in disgrace.

She later said that everyone talks about martyrs, and pioneers are polite. Someone must be a stepping stone. You must want to be a stepping stone, but you can't do anything to become a stepping stone. This is just a piece of history.

Looking back at the development of China's Internet, many pioneers can be vaguely seen in the vast waves of smoke and waves. It can be said that every network cable used now is placed on the shoulders of the martyrs, but all revolutions will be so tragic.

"At present, the domestic telecommunications network market has not yet been subdivided. Unlike foreign markets, different fields, such as technical support service providers, information providers, etc., are undertaken by different companies. In China, a network service company can almost cover most of its business, and Yinghaiwei is no exception. Its business scope involves network technical support services, information production and transmission, and internal network construction. The development of these businesses, especially the infrastructure of networks, such as dedicated line ddn, trunk rental, etc., requires a large amount of funds to support operation. With just renting a relay line, Yinghaiwei needs to invest at least 600,000 yuan a year. This modern workshop-style operation method puts the company in a high-cost operating state, and only some of the businesses can make profits.

"Fan Wubing talked about this matter, "Yinghaiwei has been eager to find a partner that can provide a large amount of funds. Several companies have extended olive branches to them to show their intention to participate, including companies such as GTE in the United States. However, as soon as these companies calculate costs and examine the operating conditions of Yinghaiwei, they found that the gap in funds needed to be filled before Yinghaiwei's company reaches the balance of revenue and expenditure, and achieving profits is almost impossible in one or two years. Although the Internet is a market with huge business opportunities in China, the government has unclear policies, lacks infrastructure required, and the investment risks are too high, so these once-tempted investors did not dare to act rashly. All these things have led to their difficulties."

The most important point is that the Southeast Asian financial crisis is also very important for Yinghaiwei. Domestic investors are rarely willing to get involved in industries they are unfamiliar with. However, some people in Hong Kong are discussing cooperation and signing intentions. However, due to the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the investment risks have increased, so this matter is ruined.

Yinghaiwei, who has lost the support of the capital chain, naturally has to end up in a sad way.

"Our Fan's Investment Group is different. We have sufficient funds to complete this business, and profits are second." Fan Wubing finally told everyone.
