The mobile phone and its business jointly launched by Kylin Communication and Heung Kong Telephone began official operation in mid-March.

The first batch of users who got their mobile phones finally had a place to use.

So in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, you can see people everywhere holding brick-like mobile phones and talking loudly.

The first group of users to buy mobile phones to join the network ended up surpassing 20,000.

Only a third of them are tycoons, bosses and top executives of multinational corporations.

Of the remaining two-thirds, thugs and community members make up more than half.

Then the others are people from other industries, as well as government procurement, and Youde, as the governor, naturally also has it.

Heung Kong Telephone has set up 60 call signal base stations throughout Heung Jiang, more than double the number of previous generations.

Such extravagance and waste, what it brings is the improvement of the call effect, although the noisy local noise still exists, and the signal in the complex building is not good, but in general, its role is still very large.

One of the biggest functions of mobile phones is that they can find people anytime and anywhere.

This feature alone is enough to make those who value time as their life feel that it is worth the money.

They no longer have to be paged and run around looking for pay phones.

The Governor was particularly appreciative of this function, because there were so many people looking for him that it was sometimes inconvenient to contact him, which naturally caused a lot of trouble.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of mobile phones with short talk time and long charging time, the Xiangjiang Government purchased three telephones for the Governor in one go and used them in turn.

If these bosses, elites, and public servants use mobile phones for work needs, then people in the community use it purely for comparison.

With a mobile phone in hand, swaggering through the streets and alleys, enjoying the envy of others, this is the best time!

If you make a phone call at this time, press the call button yourself, talk loudly to others, talk and laugh, it is a great satisfaction, as if the greatest meaning of life lies in this.

Many of the people in the community are three poorer and five richer, and they can't stay overnight if they have money.

I don't know when I will be hacked to death on the streets, so timely pleasure is the creed of many of them.

In addition, the comparison in the community is particularly serious, you have it and I have it, no matter how the money comes from, I just want to buy it anyway......

Driven by this mentality, it is not surprising that more than 8,000 of the more than 20,000 mobile phones in Xiangjiang are purchased by people in the community.

Even with more than 20,000 mobile phones, Xiangjiang Telephone's losses are now very serious.

As soon as it opened, it lost money, which made the senior management of Xiangjiang Phone cry and laugh.

When they first started to collect statistics, they were a little frightened, because those people in the community would definitely be very conspicuous with their mobile phones, and they would not control the time of the call at all.

In fact, when the call data came out, it was obvious that the people in the community had the longest call time.

On average, the daily call time is more than 30 minutes!

I don't know where they have so much to say.

30 minutes is 30 yuan, and if it goes down like this in a month, it will be almost 1,000 yuan!

Don't these guys know anything about saving?

According to this posture, I don't know how long I have to wait for the company to enter the capital preservation stage.

But there is something to be thankful about.

That is the feedback of the mobile phone is very good, although there are various shortcomings, but most of the people who use it are satisfied.

The failure rate is still there, but the efficiency of Kirin Communication's repair point is very fast, and ordinary faults and faults can be repaired in two or three hours, and can be repaired in a day at most.

In the 80s, when the pace was generally slow, such an efficient repair was already outstanding.

If you have won a good reputation, then the next step will definitely be the spread of word-of-mouth, and more people will buy and use it.

Although it is not realistic now, as long as the economy improves, the surge in users is definitely not a dream.

But Xiangjiang Phone is a listed company after all, and if their losses are too much, it will still be very troublesome.

So a few days ago, this group of people found Le Yi Ling, while crying that their losses were really unexpectedly large, on the other hand, they wanted to ask Le Yi Ling to let Kylin Communication Company reduce the price of mobile phones, so that they could make more money on the price of mobile phones.

The price of a Kirin mobile phone is 8888 yuan.

The price of the goods given by the Kirin Communication Company to Xiangjiang Phone is 8,000 yuan, which means that they only earn 888 yuan in the process of purchasing the Xiangjiang Phone, and the rest is earned by the Kirin Communication Company.

This is still the result of Yin Jun's reconciliation with them under the efforts of Xiangjiang Phone.

Otherwise, according to Leyiling's plan, they will directly purchase at the price of 8888, and they will not earn a penny on the mobile phone itself.

This is also the way to call Xiangjiang.

Le Yiling is their president and the largest shareholder representative, and what she said is the decision of Xiangjiang Telephone, and those original high-level executives have no way to object.

However, Heung Kong Telephone has always been a public utility company, which has assumed a certain amount of responsibility for social welfare and is subject to the supervision of the Heung Kong government.

Seeing such a big loss, it is not easy to explain, and Le Yiling also took a little step back.

She lowered the shipping price of Kirin Communication's mobile phone to 7,000 yuan, and gave Xiangjiang Phone an extra 1,000 yuan in profits.

In this way, every time a mobile phone is sold, Xiangjiang Phone can earn a profit of 1888, and the more it sells, the more it earns, which soothes their fragile hearts.

The top management of Xiangjiang Telephone did not dare to gain an inch anymore.

In this world, only Kylin Communications has produced commercial mobile phones and successfully operated them.

Although Motorola also has mobile phones, the performance of their mobile phones is said to be inferior to Kirin mobile phones, and there is no large-scale operation, and Xiangjiang phones cannot be purchased from them.

If they provoke Kirin Communications, they will simply stop supplying, and the Xiangjiang phone that has invested hundreds of millions will cry bitterly.

Speaking of which, many people may not believe that Kylin Communications, like Heung Kong Telephone, is still in serious losses.

Be!

They sold 20,000 mobile phones, and the payment was more than 160 million Hong Kong dollars, excluding the patent fees and other expenses that need to be paid for each mobile phone, and the net profit exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

That's still three months of sales, and if they wait until the rapid development of mobile phones in the future, they will earn even more.

But Kirin Communications' expenses are far greater than their revenues.

First of all, their R&D team has skyrocketed several times compared to when it was first established.

Today, there are more than 100 experts from Europe and the United States, and more than 500 engineers from Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong.

These people are all happy with the highest level of Xiangjiang, Tim who invented the World Wide Web, and gets an annual salary of 2 million US dollars!

Tim is European, so his values are different from those of the Chinese.

He can give up the patent of the World Wide Web for the development of all mankind, but this does not mean that he will stop eating, not consuming, not falling in love, getting married, and having children.

It's all about money!

And he is responsible for the research and development of various networks in Xiangjiang, which is also consuming his talent and energy, so it is natural for him to get a high salary.

Among this group of engineers, the least received 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

So think about it, to raise so many senior talents, how much should Kylin Communications spend in a month?

There is also cooperation with Nokia, and every time a mobile phone comes off the production line, it is also necessary to share dividends with them.

Of course, this is all a small expense.

Compared to Kylin Communications' crazy purchase of patents, the above expenses are nothing.

So far, Yin Jun has invested a total of more than 500 million US dollars, which has been placed in mobile phone baseband structure patents, communication transmission patents, network signal research and development patents, and Internet transmission patents...... and so on.

And Yin Jun is still buying, as long as it is a suitable new patent, Yin Jun will buy it.

It is conceivable that $500 million is definitely not the end, I am afraid that $1 billion is possible.

If you want to earn this money back, you can analyze it on the optimistic side, and it is unlikely that it will be possible in ten or eight years.

Kirin Communication Company even believes that if it wants to return to its original cost or even make money, it is unrealistic to rely on Xiangjiang alone.

They don't know how developed the mobile phone market in Xiangjiang will be in the future, and they intuitively feel that Xiangjiang may have two or three hundred thousand mobile phone users, which is the sky.

Therefore, if you want to make money, you should aim at the surrounding Asian market.

For example, places like South Korea, Japan, Treasure Island, and Singapore.

As long as their mobile phone market is developed, then Kylin Communications will make more money and have more funds to participate in research.

In this way, it will not be secretly ridiculed and looked down upon by the brother companies.

Who can afford a company that just burns money, but can't make money?

It's just that Yin Jun attaches great importance to Kylin Communications, and clearly said that the mobile phone industry is one of the best industries in the next 40 years, and the current investment is very necessary, so no one says them to their faces.

But in the eyes of others, the information revealed still made them a little awkward.

Fortunately, the mobile phone industry is really high-tech, and it is unique in the whole Xiangjiang, and this sense of glory is still impossible for other brother companies to achieve.

You talk about the comics and toys of the unicorn culture to make money, but there is no technical content in that, right?

Xiangjiang has finally produced such a weighty high-tech industry, shouldn't we be proud?

What's more, the future is very long, and when we develop it, the products are sold all over the world, and there will be a beautiful day!

Well, for now, we're just in the darkness before dawn!

Without the courage to move forward with huge losses, how can it be possible to survive until the day of success?
