Fu Lemin's Difficult Transformation

In 1997, the paging market was in full swing, and Beijing Beiwei Tianxing Science and Technology Development Center, the predecessor of Beiwei Communication, was formally established. At this time, Beiwei began to consider the development of the post-paging era.

The reason is that by chance, Fu Lemin came into contact with short messages in Shaanxi Telecom Bureau. As soon as he saw this thing, he felt that the paging industry would be replaced by short messages in the future. When he carefully analyzed this business, he found new business opportunities. At that time, the SMS support system was in English, with few applications. Most people had not seen the future of SMS, and mobile communication lacked Chinese SMS service system.

At that time, Fu Lemin and others considered two transformation directions, one was the Internet, and the other was mobile communication.

On the Internet, they plan to provide access services like 263. However, due to various reasons, the Internet business eventually failed, and the business of e-commerce was also unsuccessful. But this experience has become a good technical accumulation in the north latitude.

In terms of mobile communication, Beiwei developed the Chinese short message center in 1997, which was the first Chinese short message service system. Once launched, the market responded enthusiastically, and Beiwei once again found a new opportunity.

However, the good times didn't last long. Due to the rapid rise of ZTE Huawei, these communication equipment giants packaged Chinese short message systems for sale, which had obvious price advantages and increasingly fierce market competition.

in p>21, China Unicom invited bids for the construction of CDMA network nationwide, and Beiwei was one of several short-listed vendors. However, due to the price factor, we didn't get a contract in the end. It took a lot of manpower and material resources, and the final harvest was zero, which was a great blow to Fu Lemin.

now, talking about this past, Fu Lemin obviously suddenly realized a lot: "Well, starting a business will encounter difficulties at every stage, and what we should do is to adapt to it. In retrospect, this is a good thing. So that we can seriously consider the market conditions at that time and the characteristics of north latitude and think clearly about the future road. "

After mature consideration, Fu Lemin decided to shift most of his energy to mobile value-added services.

in p>21, Beiwei Communication completed the shareholding reform and devoted itself to the development of mobile value-added services.
