Chapter 71 It's not that technology can't work, it's that the timing is wrong.

Christopher, my friend, it's been a long time since you've been to Los Angeles, please be seated. ”

"Thanks, William, you've been in the limelight lately. ”

William White smiled bitterly, is it okay not to be in the limelight, anyway, if you don't look at how much money he has, just say how much he has lost, that feeling, this guy is basically going bankrupt.

"Lisa, give us something to drink. ”

"Okay, boss, please wait. ”

The Asian financial crisis has the potential to evolve into a global economic crisis. Then, the first to be unlucky are the so-called multinational companies.

"It's really bad right now, our ixim program, which is going to be officially launched next year. In the current situation, there may not be a way to achieve the goal.

What good advice do you have about operations. ”

"Tsk, the report in my hand is a regional survey report on mobile communications, Asia-Pacific region.

To be honest, I was shocked. ”

William White handed the document to Christopher, and the handsome old man was slightly stunned and took it with a smile. Although the two have had a disagreement, in general, there is more cooperation than confrontation.

It's not surprising that people who are engaged in business think differently than Wall Street, and everyone thinks about the same.

"So much?"

"Yes, not to mention other places, users in Xiangjiang are discarding their pagers. You know, the service fee is not cheap, and the money saved, texting is enough. ”

The development of cellular telephony has far exceeded the expectations of the market. Now if you say tens of millions of users, it belongs to the layman. The goal of the operator is to use 100 million as a unit.

With money, anything impossible is possible.

Submarine fiber optic cables?

There's something about it, one is simply not enough.

As for those base stations, the number is large, and the price is naturally low. Whether it's Motorola or William White, they basically gave up. Anyway, you just have to pay the royalties.

As a result, the position of the ZIM project is very awkward.

Of course, no one will deny that this is a great plan.

However, your greatness is useless, if this thing doesn't make money, it will be difficult to sustain at all.

Clearly, Motorola is aware of the problem. The investment during this period of time has come from a flicker, and not only have they continued to invest, but they are also suspected of cashing out.

"I take the liberty of asking, CIA or FBI, have you been bothered lately? William White's words were not only a little shallow and profound, but also a little impolite.

However, William White doesn't care, his recent form is somewhat magical, basically doing what he wants. Anyway, I don't want to see anyone, and I am full of malice when I see anyone.

Well, this is also normal performance, if anyone is like him, and he has lost so much money, it is estimated that it will be even more unbearable.

"Ahem, of course, you know, unlike you, we're still a military provider. ”

"Damn, I should have thought that CDMA, the system promoted by Xiangjiang, they didn't bother my engineers a lot.

I heard that they were close to success. And you, Yixing, are basically unlikely, if the call time is too short, it is impossible to leave what they want. ”

William White's words hit Christopher's goal. If you stick to business, you will lose a lot of users. You don't really need a phone like this unless you need to be out in the field.

Yes, your cost is 75% lower than Inmarsat. However, a minute is also necessary, and the call quality is still very poor, that is, similar to analog mobile communication.

However, the cost of a digital analog call is less than 10 cents. More than 100 a month is enough for people, and you, if you have the same call frequency, at least more than 1,000.

Well, that's not the most critical thing, if it's the same communication experience, it's five times more expensive or ten times more expensive, it's really not a big deal. After all, the degree of call security is completely different.

But can you do it?

No, the satellite can't find you, and it's a waste of feelings to say anything.

"Christopher, trust me, next year won't be a good time. When you announce commercialization, if, if the Asian financial turmoil affects the whole world, well, this is already a high probability event. ”

William White's words, that's all there is to it. The meaning is already very clear, drag it out, Sao Nian, if you can drag it out for a year, you may be able to get out.

Of course, I can also cash out, but if I don't get off to a good start, I'll be done in three or two years.

"However, if it drags on any longer, the stock price will be unstable. ”

"It's gone up 400% before, and no one says it shouldn't be. As a CEO, you really should be accountable to your shareholders.

Christopher, I didn't say that as a CEO. You are the successor of the Galvins, so I will tell you this. ”

Christopher was silent, and William White understood perfectly. Technically speaking, this thing is really too good13, it is definitely tall, and there is nothing to say.

Since the establishment of the project, the project has improved a lot of problems. The current set of things, and Nima is digital. The most endearing thing is that he bypasses the ground nodes of the country. The degree of security between satellite phones is very high.

With such a bull 13, he can really blow it for a lifetime. Unfortunately, business operations are definitely not that simple.

Bastard, how are we going to track down this thing?

Also, the root of the wall of Lao Wang next door can't be heard, you can tell me, how can we solve it?

Of course, these words are not appropriate to be said in public

How Christopher chooses, William White doesn't know. He came up with a bad idea anyway, your system is new, spend a little more time polishing, and spend a little more time blowing all kinds of blows.

Look, those animal protectionists, can't you just support it? Polar expedition guys, you can fool around.

Overall, it's a pretty good plan. It is obviously better to test with these people than to have a president call.

You're in the Oval Office, and it's a lot of pain before you can remember to use a satellite phone. The president's phone call was originally a copy.

Unless......

No way, no matter how much money you give, Lao Ke won't help you shoot this advertisement.

The plot is designed like this, Lao Ke hid in the office and picked up the Yixing phone......

As a result, when he was cross-examined by the judge, this part of the call was not recorded, and Lao Ke was acquitted.

This system, William White didn't want him to hit the streets. It's okay to lose money, but if you lose billions, the richest man in the world will also suffer.

If you can operate it at a low cost, like that Inmarsat, that's fine. Just because digital transmission is slow today doesn't mean it will be slower in the future.

At the same time, the oval office area of Peanutton is going on a tearing 13 battle.

"Robert, we have to rescue Smecta and it's simply not a loss we can afford to lose. ”

As the boss of finance, Robert Rubin, he is not a rubber stamp.

"No way, Your Excellency, you'd better talk to the Wall Street giants first.

Not only did they downgrade Smecta's sovereign rating, but they also spared no effort to short-sell Smecta. Are you really sure that the money will not go directly to Soros. ”

Damn, Old Ke was dumbfounded, he couldn't order Robert Rubin, not even if he nominated him. As for the Wall Street giants, that's even more.

Bastard, you dare not let me make money, believe it or not, I'll go find a few more neurotics.
