Chapter 143: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
However, when it first opened, there were only 20 pagers in the business room of Fengyun Information Desk, and everyone worked in three shifts. The tool used is a transmitter similar to that of the current computer, and the pager slowly became familiar with it after half a month of internal practice. When a phone call comes in, because of the slow typing, one person is responsible for recording the content of the page, writing a note and passing it to another dispatcher. The regular telecommunications department has strict regulations on sending and receiving, and someone must review the content, and this is also in line with such requirements.
More than ten years later, Miss Liu, who had worked as a pager, recalled that the title of "Miss Paging" made her very honored in the circle of friends. Her sweet voice and skilled typing skills gave her the opportunity to work, and despite working three shifts a day, she still felt lucky. At that time, she had to answer thousands of calls a day, and she could earn more than 1,000 yuan by completing the prescribed call tasks in a month plus the commission for the number of calls.
More than 10 years ago, there were more than 200 pagers at the Fengyun 126 pager where Miss Liu worked in three shifts, and until midnight, the phone still rang non-stop. The year 1994 was recognized by almost every respondent as the starting point for the paging industry.
According to Ms. Liu's recollection, the monthly salary of the pager could reach 2,000-3,000 yuan, and the average number of paging calls answered per day was more than 1,300 based on a 5 cent commission for each pager. Due to answering too many calls, in order to prevent the paging ladies from being overtired, the Fengyun paging station specially organized experts to train them, requiring each paging lady to use a false voice when answering the phone.
From 1996 to 1997, the daily workload of Fengyuntai paging lady was about 800, and the most diligent paging lady had a daily workload of just over 1,000. After 2000, the number of calls per pager dropped sharply to about 300 per day, and the salary was reduced to less than 700 yuan. It was from that year that Miss Paging changed jobs and changed careers.
In order to make the signal coverage of Hongcheng 126 paging station include 20 towns and 10 townships in Hongcheng County. Even the medicine king can accept the signal on the peak. Therefore, a multi-zone system is adopted, that is, a paging center with multiple base stations, and each base station is connected to the paging center by a dedicated relay circuit for the work line. Each base station works simultaneously, i.e., it transmits the same signal at the same time, so synchronization is required.
In a multi-zone system, in order to avoid the phase difference of the arrival of signals from different base stations in the overlapping area. Equalization is required, and frequency bias techniques are used to avoid differential interference. The paging signal sent by the paging station is encoded in POCSAG encoding format.
The retail price of the Panasonic pager operated by Fengyun Information Technology Co., Ltd. over the counter is 2,900 yuan, the network access fee is 100 yuan, and the service fee of the pager is 40 yuan per month.
Regarding the retail price of pagers, there was a dispute between Yang Jibin, Yin Chunlan, and Wang Mengqi, and Yin and Wang believed that Yang Jibin's price was too high, and the import price of pagers was 580 yuan per unit. In addition, the cost of equipment is only about 800 yuan per unit, and Yang Jibin is priced to 2900 yuan per unit, which is really ruinous in the rhythm of three views.
In the end, after some good talk, they were persuaded by Yang Jibin.
Because Yang Jibin has his own plans in his heart, the market positioning of pagers in the early stage is to face the successful people who have become rich first, and they belong to the high-end customer group. This is not to give up the low-end consumer group, but because according to the current average wage earner. Even if you price 1,000 yuan per unit now, ordinary salarymen can't afford to spend it in a short period of time. Instead of this, it is better to directly distance and grade, and make rich people's money first.
Later, in fact, this was also proven, according to a senior person of Fengyun Information Technology Co., Ltd., when it was the most brilliant, the price of a pager was as high as 3,000 yuan. There are more than 100 kinds of pagers from imported to domestic as many as 30 brands, and the annual service fee is as high as 1,200 yuan, and finally the pager price drops to one or two hundred yuan, and the annual service fee is reduced from 1,200 yuan, 720 yuan, 480 yuan, and 360 yuan to 180 yuan.
Fengyun Company operates 126 pagers on the day of operation. It ushered in more than 70 customers, nearly half of which were free pagers and a month's paging fee, but even so, the operating income on the day was as high as more than 110,000 yuan.
On the first day of opening, Yin Chunlan and Wang Mengqi happily hugged each other, hip-hop and laughter, spring light, so lively, the whole paging center suddenly boundless spring, if there are men present, they will be in reverie, and their eyes will be feasted.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Yang Jibin took 20 pagers from the paging platform, selected 20 consecutive numbers and walked out of the paging center.
Yang Jibin first gave 15 of the pagers to Li Wenrong, who participated in the ribbon-cutting together, and handed them over to her to distribute them herself, first satisfying the company's executives. If you don't think it's enough, you can go to the paging center to buy it, and a small half of the money will eventually flow to your wallet anyway.
And the 5 pagers in his hand, Yang Jibin has already allocated them in his heart: Yang Yiren, Wang Zheyuan, Jing Miaozhu, and Zhao Anxiang each have one, which can be regarded as borrowing flowers to send Buddha.
"Auntie, this is the original imported Panasonic pager, I think you should know that Sister Yin opened the Fengyun information technology company, which is currently operating this one. Sister Yin has already given Uncle Huang a gift just now, I will borrow flowers here to send Buddha, and then give one to Auntie, with this it is more convenient to contact and communicate. Yang Jibin found Wang Zheyuan, a mother and daughter, who were visiting the paging center.
"Oh, how embarrassing is this, your Uncle Huang already got one for free. Although this company is jointly run by you and Yin Chunlan, the company is for the purpose of profit, and it is useless! Wang Zheyuan is actually quite rare in his heart, this pager is just a little difficult to wipe out if he asks for it in vain.
"Auntie, where is it, in fact, this is also a sales method of the company. An elite and successful person with a temperament like you is like one of the company's image spokespersons. When you bring it to use, you're actually helping us advertise, which is a big credit. What's more, you haven't planned to charge us for advertising, but in fact, our company has taken advantage of it! Yang Jibin said with a smile.
"Xiao Yang, you are really good at talking, no wonder the few companies you opened can be done quickly, it's really amazing. Especially the medicine king wine you recently launched, it is very popular, even Lao Huang thinks it is delicious! ”
Wang Zheyuan is more and more satisfied with Yang Jibin, the young man can be literate and martial, and he has such a strategy for sending things, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it, and he feels justified in receiving gifts for free.
Wang Zheyuan nodded happily and said, "That's okay, I'll take it, and I'll help you recommend others to buy your pager." ”
"Then thank you Auntie in advance. That Yaowang Bulao Liquor is just a primary product we have launched, and there will be better intermediate, high-grade, and top-grade liquors in a few months! "Yang Jibin has also recently collected precious medicinal materials for dispensing medicine, as well as medicinal seedlings or something, and he is almost ready.
"yes, then I'll wait and see! Waiting for your top wine! Huang Jianye didn't know when he came over to join in the fun.
"Uncle Huang, you're here, you've been very busy lately, look at your red face, you're even more proud!" Yang Jibin looked at Huang Jianye with joy, his luck was booming, and he immediately joked.
"It's okay, I feel more motivated, and I can finally see some results!" Huang Jianye has been very happy recently, and he has finally been able to vent his grievances in Hongcheng County for several years, and his old man also called to congratulate him, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible, one is to celebrate his birthday, and the other is that he wants to ask him about what happened recently.
Thinking of this, Huang Jianye's heart moved, and he said to Yang Jibin: "Boy, do you have any good things to give me, I will go back to the capital in a few days, and I want to bring some souvenirs back!" ”
"Lao Huang, you are a big man, why are you embarrassed to ask others for things?" Wang Zheyuan's face is really a little unbearable, I really don't know when it started, my own family is so familiar with Yang Jibin, how can I feel like a family, and I don't have a part at all.
"Haha, who said that Yang Jibin is not an outsider that day?" Huang Jianye looked at the few people around him with a smile.
Yang Jibin couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard it, it seems that the future mother-in-law and father-in-law have passed this level.
Looking back and looking again, standing not far away, Huang Yuelian, who was wearing a light blue dress, looked at the delicate face, graceful figure, and ethereal and delicate temperament, Yang Jibin is not drunk and everyone is drunk.
Yes, it is this girl, it is this feeling that makes me haunted by dreams for a lifetime, and I regret my heart for a lifetime, it is really "affectionate and empty hatred since ancient times, and this hatred lasts forever".
Since God has given me the opportunity to start over again, I can't miss her again no matter what.
In order to please this future father-in-law, Yang Jibin patted his chest and immediately said: "Uncle Huang, this matter is simple, it's wrapped up in me, I just don't know what Old Man Huang likes?" ”
"Boy, your tone is not small, it seems that there are a lot of private goods hidden. My old man loves tea, calligraphy and jade in his life! Huang Jianye felt that this kid was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Uncle Huang, you won't let me prepare a copy of everything, will you?" Yang Jibin said with a bitter face.
"Where, didn't you ask my old man what he liked? Just answer truthfully, in fact, I was joking just now, if you had that good tea delivery that day! Huang Jianye was really embarrassed to be asked by Yang Jibin like this, and explained and covered it up, but he didn't expect Yang Jibin to really have private goods in everything.
"Okay, Uncle Huang, when will you leave to return to the capital?" Yang Jibin asked. (To be continued......)
