Chapter 231: The Most Beautiful Voice

When I drove to the management center of the industrial park, I saw Mao Xiuliang, the executive officer of Taiyu Technology, standing downstairs with a group of people and coming up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.infoβ”’β•žβ•‘.

The attitude shown by the other party gave Giles's injured heart a little comfort.

At least the other party still respects Motorola's status in the field of communications, and does not boast of a more advanced technology.

That being the case, Giles can't be too arrogant. Emotions are emotions, work is work, and he has always been very clear about this. He immediately asked the driver to stop the car more than ten meters away from the other party, then opened the door, tried to put a smile on his face, and walked quickly to meet him.

A translator hired from the University of Hong Kong trotted after him.

Mao Xiuliang still has that kind smile, and some of his slightly chubby faces look very similar to the Buddha in Eastern religions.

The two held hands tightly together, and both sides smiled, like friends who had worked together for many years.

"Mr. Mao, there is one thing I don't quite understand, why did we meet here twice instead of at your company's headquarters? Didn't you buy a building in Yau Tong and use it as your headquarters? Why don't we talk there, but here? Giles looked around for a moment, asking the question that had been a question for a long time.

Yesterday's press conference, in order to show the media about the new industrial park, it is normal to hold here, but today it is about to enter the formal negotiations, and it is a little strange for him to put it here.

"Hahahaha! Mr. Giles really looked at him," Mao Xiuliang laughed, "Don't Mr. Giles think it's quiet here?" You know what crazy creatures journalists are, and they will do anything for the sake of journalism. The decoration of Taiyu headquarters is also okay, but the outside is unobstructed, our talks are related to the cooperation between the two companies, if I am chased by reporters every day, I can't stand it! ”

The translator was next to him, translating Mao Xiuliang's words in a low voice.

"That's true! The madness shown by the reporters yesterday was really terrifying. Giles smiled at his explanation.

The industrial park has a gate system and security guards on patrol, so it is difficult for reporters to sneak in and catch the scoop.

Since the new arcade machine no longer uses Motorola processors, reporters have been harassing Motorola's representatives in Hong Kong. Giles was also deeply affected, and as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, he was followed by reporters and semi-compulsively asked questions and interviews, which made him very disturbed.

He watched the flow of people, saw that the others just nodded and smiled from afar, and then consciously moved out of the way, not close to eavesdropping on the conversation, and was very satisfied with the environment and the quality of the personnel here.

Being able to have a relatively undisturbed place and negotiate slowly makes me feel much better.

"Another reason why we came down to greet you is to ask Mr. Giles to actually try out our wireless communication mobile phone."

Before Giles could completely relax, the translator turned over Mao Xiuliang's next sentence and passed it to his ears, and he immediately jumped up.

"What? You've made the real thing! Giles said in shock.

The translator was as shocked as he was, so much so that when he switched from English to Chinese, he stammered, but expressed the tone of surprise vividly.

There are many exclusive terms for electronic content in English, and it is not enough to find a person who understands English to act as a qualified translator. He is a professor of electronics at HKU, and his textbooks are the original textbooks of Europe and the United States. β•ͺβ”žβ” . (〔。 cοΌ»o?m(

After being hired, he checked a lot of information, and he was also very clear about the bottlenecks that restrict the realization of digital mobile communication technology.

In his opinion, the United States is the strongest in the global electronics field, followed by Europe, Japan and South Korea again, and China's big 6 can be described as backward. It's true that laptop recorders and arcade machines are selling well, but that's just a flash of inspiration, and with this idea, anyone can come up with a better product than the Big 6.

Even Europe and the United States can't come up with a physical prototype, but Taiyu Technology can make it, how is this possible?

Seeing their shocked looks, Mao Xiuliang was extremely happy.

Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, he can become a soldier of Guan Fei's trusted guard class, and naturally all kinds of ideas are similar to Guan Fei. Even if there were some different places in the past, after being influenced by Guan Fei for a long time, I naturally accepted his ideas and became a staunch nationalist.

Following Guan Fei to Hong Kong has indeed broadened his horizons and understood what kind of status China is now in the forest of nations in the world.

As far as the participating countries are concerned, China is recognized globally as a well-deserved powerhouse.

But is that enough?

Of course not!

Although the Chinese are naturally reserved, almost self-contained, they are always very modest to the outside world. But in terms of heart, in fact, the Chinese people are the proudest nation in the world.

In the hearts of the Chinese people, there is always a dream of a great power!

This dream of a great power is by no means to become a great power of the same level as others, but an ardent expectation to surpass all other countries and become the most powerful country irrefutably!

Under this expectation, the eyes of the Chinese people are always looking upwards and never looking downward.

Whoever is ahead of us is the one we drive; As for who is worse than us, no one will care.

As a result, in the eyes of the Chinese people, there have always been only two concepts: China and foreign countries: as long as the technology and products that China does not have, are all made by the guy called "foreign", this must be a good thing, we must also have it, and it must be better than "foreign".

As for the ...... that we have and "foreign" do not, isn't that a matter of course?

Because we are the Central Country!

We must, and will be, the center of the world of the future, and make this name worthy of its name, which is the mission of God!

If you can't do it, you're a failure!

Therefore, in the early days of arriving in Hong Kong, seeing that the domestic item was inferior to the "foreign" shortcoming, Mao Xiuliang and other soldiers of the guard squad were so sad that they wanted to cry, they could not accept this fact, and they felt very painful mentally.

Just when they were about to despair because of disappointment, because of despair, they went from one nationalist to the other, became national negationists, and began to deny the superiority of their race, it was Guan Fei who gave them confidence again.

The same arcade machine, the top foreign manufacturers, programmers can not crack, can only turn to fully accept the hardware environment of Taiyu Technology, copy the game software, and then launch an almost identical arcade machine to compete with Taiyu Technology for market share.

It turns out that the other party is not a polite gentleman, it turns out that we are also very strong!

Seeing the game software that Guan Fei wrote casually, it took more than a year for other competitors to crack it, and their unbalanced emotions were rebalanced. ═┝.γ€ˆγ€‚ In the face of the facts, they recognized what Guan Fei said: "As long as our accumulation is deep enough, we will have what others have, and we will be better than them!" What others don't have, we can also have, let others learn from us! ”

The introduction of the portable tape recorder further confirmed this view.

Just like the arcade machine, the portable tape recorder was first realized by Taiyu Technology, and then brought to the market, and it has received rich returns.

Other opponents, including European and American electronics giants, can only follow Taiyu Technology to grab food.

This makes them feel a sense of pride in their hearts, and they no longer think that they are inherently inferior to others, and agree that we are just behind others, starting hundreds of years later than others, and the accumulation of infrastructure and technical talents is not deep enough.

Once the accumulation is enough, the two sides are on the same level, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!

Under Guan Fei's psychological construction, they re-established their confidence, and their desire to return to the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties became stronger.

When an electronics giant like Motorola is afraid to touch digital mobile communication technology and open more easily implemented analog technology, but he has gnawed the hard bone of digital mobile technology and is the first to launch a physical prototype, his inner happiness is beyond measure.

In his mind, the question of "can we do it" finally turned into "we must do it!" ”

Seeing the jaw-dropping appearance of Giles and the others, he felt extremely proud and proud for the first time that he was a member of the Chinese nation.

With a little relief and a little joy, he suddenly felt some sourness in his eyes.

He was afraid that he would cry, so he quickly squeezed his eyes hard, and then waved his hand back, with a slightly nasal voice: "This is just a laboratory product, there are only two in total, one remains in the laboratory to continue the trial, and the other is sent here, please trust our partners in our technical strength." Xiao Liu, bring the things up, and ask Mr. Giles to correct them! ”

Following him, the staff holding the prototype, facing the stunned look of the representative of one of the world's largest electronics giants, was also honored, stepped forward with his chest straight, handed over a white cardboard box with no decoration, and softly spit out a word: "Please!" ”

Giles was completely confused at this time, and he didn't notice their expressions, he only felt that his brain was in a trance, and he reached out blankly to take the carton and open it.

Inside the carton, on a foam cushion, lies a small thing.

This is the handheld mobile phone named PHS that Guan Fei handed over to Yu said!

Giles' first feeling was so light.

You know, the same prototype, the first prototype launched by Motorola based on analog technology, with a total weight of three pounds, or 1.5 kilograms. With such a weight, an ordinary urbanite holding it up to his ear and making a phone call for two or three minutes will be sore.

After eight years of hard work to slim down, the finalized analog mobile phone that was originally going to be launched still weighs two pounds and is heavy in your hand!

This is the greatest achievement of all the researchers.

However, this mobile phone called PHS feels light and fluttering in the hand as if it has no weight, including the carton and plastic foam cushion, the total weight is definitely only 300 grams - only less than one-third of the analog phone!

Its appearance is also much smaller than that of an analog phone, about 15 cm to 18 cm long, about 5 cm wide, and less than 4 cm thick, so you can hold it with one hand. And when not in use, you can carry it in your jacket pocket or trouser pocket.

Thinking of their own analog phone, which they usually had to hold in their hands and take it wherever they went, Giles suddenly felt so silly.

The price they proposed for the analog phones was $4,000 each, and the final price was estimated to be a little less, so as to limit it to four thousand and make users feel cheaper.

Users who can afford a $4,000 mobile phone will definitely not have a low income, and the target group is high-income white-collar workers.

But a successful person, holding a big and thick phone that can't be carried in his pocket and grabs it in his hand wherever he goes, how does he think about this kind of scene and how does he feel stupid. How stupid a designer would think that this kind of mobile phone will be loved by successful people!

If he hadn't compared it before, he would have felt that the brick-top mobile phone that no one else had and could show off in front of others was a status symbol. But once he saw the prototype made by Taiyu Technology with his own eyes, and then thought about the stupid black and thick appearance launched by his company, he felt his face burned.

The gap between Nima is too big, so big that he doesn't even have the courage to say a good word for his company.

The difference in talent between the two sides is not only the difference in weight and size, but also the appearance design.

The analog phone produced by the company is really boxy and rectangular, with sharp edges and corners, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that it is a brick.

However, this PHS mobile phone uses a silver plastic shell, which looks shiny with a metallic texture, like a handicraft. Although the phone as a whole is also rectangular, the upper part is slightly larger, the lower part is slightly narrower, and the four corners are rounded, forming a little visual difference up and down.

And the analog phone they are going to launch, the display is a photodiode, and it can only display Arabic numerals, which looks like a scientific instrument.

But this PHS uses a small long strip LCD screen, in addition to numbers, it can also display two lines of English, which suddenly raised its grade by a level. has not actually used it yet, just looking at the appearance, he feels that his own product is not an order of magnitude opponent compared to it.

The two phones are side by side, and if anyone chooses an analog phone, it is definitely a killer who is ready to take revenge - take this thing and approach it to knock each other with it, and others are not easy to be alert!

Failure, this is an all-round failure!

Seeing his distracted appearance, his face was red for a while and green for a while, Mao Xiuliang was not to mention how happy, and he was childlike for a while, and stabbed the other party in the heart again: "When the thing was sent, the chairman said that in order to let you see the real thing and confirm the practicality of PHS technology, the decoding circuit was further decomposed into ten integrated circuits." In this way, the phone is seventy grams heavier than the design weight, reaching two hundred and sixty-five grams, oh, by the way, you use the imperial system in the United States, I will do the math, how much is 165 grams converted to the imperial system......"

"It should be nine ounces, or 1,200 carats!" Giles' eyes were blank, and when he heard him mutter, he reported the exact conversion in one bite.

As soon as he spoke, he was still distracted, but he came to his senses.

He also saw Mao Xiuliang's triumphant expression, but at the moment, he didn't care about these with the other party, and picked up the key technical indicators: "How big is this battery capacity?" How long is the standby time and, most importantly, how long is the talk time? ”

Mao Xiuliang is the general manager after all, and people ask about the performance indicators very seriously, and he also put away the smugness, and said: "The power of this mobile phone is only ten milliwatts, so it is very power-saving." The phone is equipped with a popular chromium-nickel battery with a capacity of 350 milliamps, a standby time of between 35 and 100 hours, and a continuous talk time of about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Originally, with nickel-metal hydride batteries, they were lighter and could be recharged more times, but then the cost was slightly higher, and our profits would be reduced. Therefore, the chairman suggested that this battery should be adopted for the time being, leaving room for future upgrades......"

"Very good advice, I totally agree!" Giles also seemed to recognize the reality, with a look of agreement and satisfaction, obviously very happy with Guan Fei's suggestion.

As a capitalist, we will not provide the best things, but will only provide the most profitable products on the basis of satisfying the needs of customers.

Then, through continuous upgrading, we will provide a variety of new products to the market, meet the mentality of users chasing new and good, and make more money, which is a necessary skill for all enterprises.

The kind of fool who launches a product and the customer does not change it for a lifetime will only be eliminated by the market!

After some conversation, Giles has put aside the previous frustration, entered the working state, quickly checked the phone, and now the battery has been connected, there seems to be no other accessories, and then asked in an inquisitive tone: "Only this phone?" The supporting base station or something......, I mean, can you try it out now? ”

"No problem!"

Mao Xiuliang snapped his fingers excitedly: "I guessed that you would have this proposal." It just so happened that the park used an internal program-controlled telephone, so we set up a demonstration sample in the park in advance, consisting of a switch, a control computer, and a base station, and also assigned a number to this phone. This is just within the signal range, Mr. Giles can now make a direct call to the outside line, try to see if you can talk to the outside ......, by the way, remind you, from the park to call the outside line, you have to dial a 9 first! ”

"No problem!"

Giles is also a veteran in the industry, and he understands it as soon as he hears it, and under Mao Xiuliang's instructions, he pressed and held the power button to turn on the power switch of the mobile phone. After the long boot screen passed, he saw a full-grid sign representing the signal strength on the LCD screen, and then he couldn't wait to press the number button 9, and then quickly pressed a long list of numbers.

This call, he is not calling anyone else, it is the current executive officer of Motorola!

Honk~

Honk~

Pressed to his ear, he heard the long sound of the representative's connection, and he couldn't help but be so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Got through!

This is not a model, but a real mobile phone!

And it didn't go through the communication company, and the wireless transmission and transfer was realized directly in the internal telephone network, and the base station installation was simply too convenient!

The phone rang again and again, but the other party never answered.

But he was not in a hurry at all, he listened to the long voice signal of the phone connection, and felt that this voice was so every second, even if the other party never answered, he would never get tired of listening to it.

Halfway through, he hit again.

Click!

Connected, the other party connected!

"Do you know what time it is! It's two o'clock in the middle of the night! I just took sleeping pills and fell asleep, and I was woken up by you again, and I kept beating, and I kept fighting! Okay, I'll pick it up, I hope you have something important to call me so late, if not, I'm going to be on fire! From the other side came the angry roar of Executive Officer Xi.

But listening to the other party's roar, Giles felt that this was the most beautiful sound in the world!
