Chapter 567 The Age of Digital Communication
"Boss, Mr. Jacob has arrived. ”
"Ha, go to my study, I'll change my clothes and come up. ”
Against this stubborn professor, William White is still very painful. Of course, buddy knows that CDMA is good, but time doesn't allow it!
The person who can enter William White's study usually does not have a simple superior-subordinate relationship. It wasn't the first time that Owen Jacobs had come, so he picked up a cigar and smoked it leisurely.
Every time he came to this place, he would always wholesale some cigars. In this wonderful place of the United States, as long as William White is here, there are always the highest quality Cuban cigars.
"Owen, you're here to plague my cigar again? Please, you can smoke it yourself, and don't give it away. I don't want to be targeted by customs. ”
"This damn ban is so stupid, and the only thing that can compare to it is the alcohol ban. ”
"Hahaha, don't say it, I'm a major shareholder of Coca-Cola, and if it weren't for Prohibition, I wouldn't have been able to make that much money. ”
Although the two were chatting, William White's hand was not idle. The phone that Owen Jacob brought was quickly installed by him.
Seeing the familiar SIM card, William White was still slightly distracted for a moment. With this thing, the sale of mobile phones will be much easier.
"William, GSM is really not as good as CDMA, the bandwidth is much worse, and the call quality is far inferior. ”
"So, you're a good professor. Owen, we're talking about business now. You can think of the current GSM as a 1G mobile phone, and when your CDMA matures, we can engage in 2G, and if there is not so much ahead, it can also be counted as 1.5G. ”
"No, it's a lot of waste. ”
"Hehe, do you know, Owen, the Celestial Empire and many countries in Asia are still laying the launch platform of the simulator. You see, I'm not hiding what they mean. ”
Hearing this, Owen Jacob was also a little dumbfounded. The prelude to digital communication has begun, what kind of analog launch platform are you doing now!
"Owen, every equipment upgrade will bring huge benefits, do you think, we are not doing this right?"
"Excuse me, I need to correct your perception. It's not an upgrade, it's just two systems. All the existing equipment will become garbage. Well, I can't think of anything else that is universal other than those metal shelves. ”
"Shareholders will believe and they will invest. Consumers will be convinced that their phone number has not changed. Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, each of them will believe it. Owen, I know it's hard, it's just that business is business. ”
Owen Jacob was gone, and William White's cigar was out of luck due to his great depression. Sometimes William White wondered if this old guy could have done it on purpose. Pretending to be very angry, in fact, is just to rob.
I tried the call quality, although it was only a test platform, the effect was really good.
"Filson, digital mobility is in beta. You find someone to make a plan, randomly select 2,000 users, and give them mobile phones for free. ”
"Boss, what city is it tested in. ”
"Xiangjiang, Dominic is there, you can contact him. ”
Filson was stunned, he didn't expect that the boss would go so far away.
"Boss, won't it be too far. ”
William White smiled bitterly: "Hehe, Filson, I only have one telecommunications company in my hands." You also know the situation here in the United States, it must be all kinds of nonsense. Instead of fighting with them, it is better to operate directly in Xiangjiang. ”
"I don't know how many users are?"
"Haha, rest assured, rest assured, if you talk about the number of mobile phones per capita, Xiangjiang's data is extremely high. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it, hehe, those old guys, it's time to jump again. ”
"It doesn't matter, if they have a suitable place, they can do it themselves, I won't care. To tell the truth, this kind of thing needs to be operated by an enterprise of the level of the telephone and telegraph company. ”
"Yes, it's a lot of money. If the operator doesn't cooperate much, I'm afraid it's fun to see. ”
William White looked at Filson with a strange expression, and then said leisurely: "Old man, are you sure they won't buy a mobile license plate again." ”
After speaking, Filson's face was wonderful. William White was pretty sure that there must have been a herd of alpacas whistling through the car's chest.
"Isn't that shameless?"
"Haven't you noticed that digital communication mobile phones can send text messages? It's a new business, so how about a new auction?"
Since the communication company is in its own hands, things in Xiangjiang are very simple. You don't have to talk nonsense with them, just announce the system upgrade. It's like an upgrade of a traditional phone.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yes, boss, their reaction speed is simply terrifying, and the factory on Treasure Island has already started production. By next summer vacation at the latest, Hong Kong will be able to achieve trial operation. ”
"Tsk, why not the United States? What about Europe? Does the Gallic rooster move?"
"No, they still have some controversy about the positioning of digital mobile communications. Because it covers some of the functions of the BP machine, it seems to be a little troublesome. ”
"What's the trouble? Will the little sister in the paging station lose her job? Are these bastards crazy, how many BP machines are there in Europe?"
"Ahem, boss, in fact, we have similar troubles. ”
"Forget it, I'm old, let them toss this kind of thing. ”
After saying these words, the old guy of Da Mo was a little decadent. He found that the world had changed so much. His previous knowledge is not suitable for today's society.
It's one thing for you to own a portion of a patent, but it's another thing to be the first to commercialize it. Xiangjiang is ahead of Europe, and Europe is ahead of the United States. He was pretty sure that without William White, Motorola would have been a failure.
Yes, it's just a testing area, there's no need to get tangled with guilds. Now that the mobile phone has the SMS function, the end of the pager is inevitable.
Nima, Motorola's pager, is now very profitable. Fortunately, the continued boom in sales of mobile phones offset this part of the loss.
This cunning boy was really prescient.
Foresight is not really enough, William White just hit a time gap. The paging stations in Xiangjiang are much denser than those in the United States.
It's also funny to say that the toys invented by the people of the United States are not very popular in the United States. In addition to some special professions, such as doctors, police, ahem, and those who deliver food.
As for the rest, no one likes to be led by the tail. There is such a thing as a pager, which cannot be promoted at all.
The life that Lao Mei yearns for is freedom, you don't need to wear it when you go to work, and you don't have the obligation to wear it after work. As for the connection between friends, well, this one can still be there. It's just that you don't have to count on the quantity.
In the United States, as long as it involves people, it is usually very expensive. As long as it involves service, the price is ridiculously expensive. If you calculate the cost of use, you might as well buy a mobile phone.
Some people may not believe it, but if you save a little, your mobile phone may be cheaper than a pager. For example, if you don't answer the phone after it rings, then call back from your landline.
Hehe, this method was later widely used in the Celestial Empire.
