Genius One Second Memory β†’ Net, providing you with wonderful novels to read. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info (March is a day that will appear in the history books in the future, and on this day, Ambrera began to sell so-called PHS phones in Canada.) The price of PHS mobile phones is only about 1000 yuan on average when converted into Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be a very cheap big brother in this era.

The company responsible for PHS's operations is Northern Telecommunications Canada, abbreviated as Nortel.

Since PHS was announced to the world last year, it has been half a year, and the reason why it took so long to open PHS local calls is mainly due to the installation and connection of base station lines.

A base station is a big iron pole, that is, the so-called RF antenna, and then a wire will link the RF antenna and the central computer room, although the backbone network has already been laid in the north, but because there are too many base stations, there are more branches to be connected, and it is the first large-scale application of PHS, so we have done it carefully and carefully, in order to prevent PHS from various accidents in actual operation, the engineers of the communication laboratory have made a variety of treatment plans. Even the ultra-small probability event of only one in 10,000 was taken into account by them.

The trial operation of the North Telecom selected Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver three cities, the use time of three months, if the HPS after three months does not appear major problems, North Telecom will promote PHS city wireless call technology across the country.

It's Saturday, and Canadian citizens don't have the habit of sleeping in on weekends, but today is the day when PHS wireless local calls are launched and PHS phones are on sale, so they wake up early and turn on the TV to watch the news about PHS.

And what about the pilot cities? The scene in the computer appliance retail store is simply crowded with people, and thousands of empty alleys can be described as it.

What are these people doing at Ambrera's retail store? Of course, it is for the purchase of PHS, and the whole family goes out together, the price of a minimum version of PHS is only $160, and the highest price of the high-end business version is only $399, this price makes it impossible for the Canadian people to have a mobile phone at all.

For them, PHS is selling a little cheaper. Even Ambrera employees thought PHS was selling too cheaply.

Is it cheap, Ling Shizhe smiled, if there was a traverser standing in front of him. will definitely scold Ling Shizhe for being too black, a PHS of a few hundred yuan, and he dares to sell it for hundreds of dollars, black, too black!

The reason why Ling Shizhe wants to sell it so cheaply. It is to break the market of PHS technical standards in the first time, and to completely occupy the wireless communication market before GSM and CDMA wireless communication standards have not come out, leaving no chance for them, and then Ambrera will be like Motorola in history, becoming the king of wireless communication in the first decade. 【△Net】

As long as you don't play iridium like the historical Motorola, as long as you honestly follow the pace of mobile phone development in history, even in the era of smart phones, Ambrera is still the boss of the mobile phone market, what Jobs, Google, Xiaomi or something. (.’) To hell with it, business competition is not a dinner party, and both sides are in vain in order to compete for the market. [800]

So on the day of the PHS launch, the people in the pilot cities in Canada came to the dealer store of Ambrera with their families.

They automatically lined up to chat, slowly walked forward, and when it was their turn, they paid and received a box larger than a palm, this box adopts the minimalist design of the later Apple company, and there is a frontal photo of this PHS mobile phone printed on it.

Many consumers have a bit of an unreal feeling after getting this box for the first time. This thing smaller and lighter than a shoe box is the legendary PHS?

Even after some of them opened the box on the spot, they looked at the PHS that could be placed in the palm of their hands, and they felt very unreal, you must know that it was only last year. The future mobile cellular phone announced by Motoros is comparable to a brick, it is big and heavy, and it can be used to smash people, and this light and small thing in front of you looks much more chic by that brick. Much more stylish.

After buying a mobile phone, I went to the telecom counter to go through the network access procedures and got a SIM card, which has a string of numbers on the card that is the number of the mobile phone.

The SIM card is designed with the second type of standard card in later generations, with a size of 25mmx15mm, and all mobile phone cards in China in later generations are this standard size.

The capacity of the card is generally 128k, which can be used to store the following information: 1000 sets of phone numbers and their corresponding name text; 40 sets of short messages; More than 5 sets of newly dialed numbers; 4-digit SIM card password.

After returning home, after installing the battery and charging the phone, I made a call to my relative's house or neighbor's house with the mentality of trying it out, and the clear sound from the phone receiver made them feel excited! Even many of them deliberately moved back and forth with their mobile phones, and some even wanted to go out of the house and go to the street with cars and cars!

As a result, after such a back-and-forth experiment, they actually found that the call effect was not bad! That's what makes everyone excited!

The call fee of the mobile phone is also quite cheap, just a little more expensive than the landline phone, and it is a one-way charge, and you can also send text messages! It's so blissful that some housewives start lying on the couch with their PHS phones and start talking to their girlfriends.

At this time, they realized how pleasant it was to have no rope for the phone! They can make a phone call in the kitchen, they can make a phone call in the bathroom, and even their wives can take PHS with them when they go shopping in the supermarket, and they can call their husbands at home while shopping in the supermarket and ask him what he wants to eat at night.

Such a life makes the Canadian people feel that their lives have changed completely, and they all live on the landline phone at home, if they receive their own calls, it is fine, if it is someone else in the family, they have to call them to answer the phone.

But now it's different, spend $160 for a real mobile phone, and it's still a person, put it on your body and pick it up when the phone rings, not to mention that it protects your own **.

The PHS system has become popular all of a sudden, and the result of the hot sales scene is that the manufacturers who have obtained the PHS authorization have accelerated their PHS research and development progress. And more small and medium-sized manufacturers are flocking here!

Most of these small and medium-sized manufacturers are manufacturers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, and when he heard that Ambrera would sell the overall solution of PHS mobile phones, the threshold of the Hong Kong headquarters gate was broken by them.

What does that mean? That is to do a good job of arranging all the components in the mobile phone. It is equivalent to selling PHS mobile phones that have everything except no shell to them, and they can directly design a shell by themselves and then sell it with their own brand!

Of course, Japanese companies don't need to do that. They only need to get PHS's technical license, and they can do the rest themselves.

In accordance with the instructions of the chairman of the group, Ling Shizhe, Andy. Grove chose only two Japanese companies, one NEC and the other JVC. These two companies were chosen because they are the first Japanese companies to have no requirements for baseband chip licensing, and they buy chips from Ambrera for all their mobile phones.

And what about Taiwan? The technology is much weaker, but they are much stronger than the manufacturers in Hong Kong, they bought all the mobile phone chips and most of the mobile phone components from Ambrera, and then designed the mobile phone shell by themselves, designed and produced the BCP board of the mobile phone by themselves, and finally all assembled together, a brand new mobile phone came out.

Telecom companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan have not yet opened PHS wireless local calls, and the production of mobile phones can only be sold in the Canadian market, but they can be sold in the Canadian market. In order to live with Canada's network access permit, except for Ambrera, where did the local land-sitting households let these overseas Taiwanese businessmen compete with them in Canada, so Taiwanese businessmen's applications for network access in Canada were rejected.

Not all people go to Canada to apply for a network access permit, and a young man named Terry Gou did not apply for a mobile phone network access permit, but actively contacted the local mobile phone manufacturer and was willing to ask them to OEM.

The labor cost in Taiwan and Southeast Asia is very low, and the low OEM price soon signed a large number of OEM orders with these companies, and grabbed a lot of orders from Li Zhen.

See these merchants from Wanwan. This reminded Ling Shizhe of the copycat mobile phones of later generations.

The reason why China has so many copycat mobile phones in later generations is because they have their own R&D strength and the ability to make mobile phones from scratch? P, they are all overall solutions purchased from MTK, that is, MediaTek, and domestic copycat mobile phone manufacturers only need to design the shell after selling it back. Then you can start selling mobile phones directly!

This is also the reason why many functions of copycat mobile phones in later history are similar, that is, because they are all from the same father!

In Ling Shizhe's plan, Ambrera will continue to promote the company to come up with new styles of mobile phones, which is the so-called explosive sea tactics, and these new styles of mobile phones can absorb endless creativity from later copycat machines.

A week after Ambrera's PHS phone went on sale. Statistics from all over the world kept pouring into the Water Cube headquarters, and Allison was a little dumbfounded when she saw this report.

In this report, it shows that PHS sold 3 million PHS units in just one week in the three pilot cities in Canada.

Three million units! What is this idea, each city has almost reached a mobile phone per person, with an average price of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per mobile phone, accounts receivable is 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, excluding production costs and sales costs, the gross profit of each mobile phone is 50%, that is, Ambrera earned 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in just one week.

Earn 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars a month, so how much should you earn in a month, and how much should you earn in a year? It's a huge gold mine, and although Alison has long known that PHS will definitely make money, he didn't expect that mobile phones would make so much money.

This is just a mobile phone, not counting the sales of digital program-controlled switches, Canada's economy is developed, people's incomes are high, according to the Canadian population to each person with a mobile phone, in addition to small towns in remote areas, each city needs 50 to 100 program-controlled switches at every turn, each switch costs 800,000 US dollars, nearly 1 million Canadian dollars in price, so a slightly larger city is tens of thousands of Canadian dollars of investment, the whole saving is hundreds of millions or even billions of Canadian dollars in sales!

You should know that the base and frequency of use of mobile phones can be much higher than that of fixed phones, if you include various mobile phone value-added services such as SMS services, caller ID, weather forecasts, etc., you will need more switches, and how much will this cost? Alison is a little out of the picture.

If you count the after-sales service of the program-controlled switch (note, the after-sales service in Europe and the United States is to be counted separately), equipment upgrades or something, PHS mobile phones can only be said to be a relatively "trickle" market.

In fact, Alison's algorithm is wrong, and it does sell 3 million PHS phones in a week, but more than half of these phones sold are bought by people living in other cities.

Even if the city where they live has not yet opened PHS wireless communication services, they must insist on buying them in advance, and when the time comes, they will directly access the network when PHS is opened in their city.

After transferring the statistics to the chairman's office, Ling Shizhe just glanced at it lightly, and put the report away, just like that, Alison was shocked, if he knew that in the 21st century, the total annual shipment of mobile phones in the world is 3 to 4 billion units, he will not faint, you must know that Ruokia in the most glorious time, the annual sales of mobile phones exceeded 1 billion units.

Not to mention mobile phones, in terms of home game consoles, when PS3 began to go on sale, Sony's total global sales of PS2 game consoles alone exceeded 1 billion units, Nintendo's GBA series of handheld consoles sold 300 million units worldwide, Sony's PSP sold 500 million units, and NDS was almost more than 500 million units.

At the time of Ambrera's PHS mobile phone sales, the "Little Bee" agricultural aircraft developed by China Aircraft Aviation Industry Corporation finally obtained the aviation operation qualification certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States, not a zero-hour operation certificate, which shows that the "Little Bee" aircraft has an ID card and can be marketed.
