Chapter 466 - A Mobile Phone That Can Send Messages
"Boss!
What about our year-end bonus?
I also want to make achievements like those people in the software department, but I don't have R&D tasks!
What kind of touch screen all day long, IBM invests so much money is useless, it will take several years to have results, and there will be no bonuses during this period!"
"You're okay!
Our group wants to develop a high-definition display, but we don't know anything about it!"
"Cry, a lot of money!
Envy, jealousy, hatred!"
"Software engineers, please eat!"
"Yes!
"I want a bonus, I want a bonus"
The wages of HOPE Technology are quite high, and it is strange that they are willing to rebel.
Han Xuan was not in a hurry, and typed the next paragraph: "Then hurry up and develop the mobile phone."
With a limit of 600 grams, for every 30 grams of weight reduction in the phone, I will give a prize of $1 million, with no upper limit.
You know, you have fewer people, and everyone gets more when you divide it evenly......"
Someone immediately replied: "Really?
Hahaha! There's a 1,000,000 bonus!"
"Awesome!lalala~"
"The beauty upstairs, have a private chat, I'm going to buy a computer and put it at home to chat with you!"
"Damn! I'm your own sister!"
“……”
Everyone in the group laughed!
Han Xuan was stunned and said, "What?
"That's right, we've put together a lot of new technologies this year. ”
"It's not difficult, everyone knows the principle of making mobile phones, and anyone can make them.
It's just that the patent barriers of those companies can't be bypassed, so we designed a new motherboard that can avoid some of the patents. ”
"The testing machine is not equipped with a shell, it can make phone calls, it can store 58 pieces of information, and it weighs only 545 grams.
Even with the shell, it won't exceed 570 grams at most!
$1,000,000! Boss! Give us more time and it can be reduced!"
Information fills the screen, talking about the R&D process.
The people in the hardware engineering department of Hope Technology Company currently only have the task of developing mobile phones, which was assigned to them when Han Xuan went to the company in early October.
He knew it would be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!
However, some of them have made mobile phones before, and it is not impossible for more than 200 hardware engineers to develop them together.
Han Xuan asked, "Are you sure you can use your mobile phone to send messages?!"
"Hmm.
In 1992, the British Vodafone telecom operator, in order to solve the problem of high mobile phone bills, launched a low-cost text message service.
I sent a message from my computer to my mobile phone using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).
This method was patented by them and has not yet become popular, but we feel that there should be a market.
So I used some technology in the WOW chat software to transplant this function of sending text messages to the mobile phone.
It is completely different from the core technology in the patent of the British Vodafone telecom operator, and successfully avoided it.
We took a prototype to San Francisco, and the message was received in Santa Clara, Silicon Valley, but it wasn't very stable.
GSM transmission speed is slow, there will be a delay of about two minutes to four minutes, the signal is not good, and it may not be sent. ”
After reading it all, Han Xuan laughed and waved his fist!
Isabelle asked him, "Why are you so excited?"
Isn't it just sending a message, why do you have to write when you can call? ”
"You don't know, the information function is quite important! With it, I can go to the telecom operator to cooperate!
If the operator uses my patent, they have to pay me, and they can also have an additional channel to make money at no cost, which is a win-win!
If the telecom operator agrees to promote this kind of mobile phone that can send messages, I can sell my company's mobile phone and seize the market while other mobile phone manufacturers do not react!"
Han Xuan typed as he spoke, asking if this technology had been registered for a patent.
Christopher replied that he had already registered, which made him even more excited!
"What you said is based on the fact that information functions will become popular, and it is not certain yet. ”
Han Xuan didn't care about the cold water that Isabelli spilled.
He knows better than anyone how big the market this business will occupy in the communications industry in the future, and said with a smile: "The wow just now is interesting, right?"
Its practical use of mobile phone texting, and the use of WOW on the computer is the same reason. ”
After thinking about it, Isabelli suddenly came to the spirit!
She has seen the convenience of WOW software, listening to Han Xuan's words just now, it seems that this function of sending information with a mobile phone is not free to use?
His eyes blinked twice, "How about taking me to invest? I'll invest in your mobile phone manufacturing company." ”
"The beauty of thinking. ”
Han Xuan raised his middle finger and continued: "But you can try to talk to Vodafone in the UK, and the other party may sell it to you."
We have one and a half patents to carve up this market. ”
"I'm not as rich as you, can I make it?"
"Sure, don't forget it, I'll buy it myself. ”
"No, no, no, I invested half a million dollars, and my dad gave me pocket money, that's all I have.
If you dare to lose money, I will live here, eat yours and drink yours!"
Harris silently reached into his pocket and pulled out ......
He counted carefully, 38 dollars, 7 cents and 4 cents, and raised his head: "How many shares can this have?"
My salary will not be paid until next month. ”
"Put it away. Han Xuan was speechless, "I don't know if the other party will sell it yet, I'll talk about it then." ”
With your hand on the keyboard, type out the 1% stock dividend right of HOPE Technology Company at the end of the year, and the 0.2% company stock reward to Christopher, click send......
This news blew up the diving party!
All kinds of thanks and cheering messages flew around, and the new employees were asking if they had their share, and seeing that no one paid attention to themselves, they were so anxious that they sent hundreds of question marks in a row!
The WOW chat software suddenly stuck.
Han Xuan reluctantly logged out of his account and logged in again, got up and opened the door, ready to get water, and the housekeeper of Erna just brought the food over.
……
"My dad hasn't come home yet?"
After a brief lunch, Han Xuan asked Erna Butler.
"Yes, he hasn't come back yet.
Just now, I have already arranged lunch for the professors who came from Huaxia, and they asked me to help convey my gratitude to you. ”
Butler Erna was busy putting away the dishes, looked up and smiled.
"Thank you"
In front of the desk, Isabelli was playing with the computer, and at this time she shouted to Han Xuan: "There is a piece of news about you here, you are despised!
Han Xuan and Harris walked over to the computer, and the headline on the webpage was "Discussion Community for Harry Potter Fans".
But the one Isabelli was reading was obviously not a Harry Potter message, but a screenshot of the interview they forwarded.
The middle-aged man in the picture, known to Han Xuan, is the CEO and majority shareholder of Netscape Communications, Mark Anderson.
In the upper left corner of the picture, there is the logo of NBC TV, which should be a talk show, and more than a dozen pictures each have a sentence (to be continued.) )
