When the paging information is sent to Song Yuanchaoshou's device through the internal test paging station, the message content is displayed, which means that the Chinese pager has been completely completed, at least there are no problems in technology and practical application.

"Well done!"

Song Yuanchao once again praised Shen Xiangsheng, in less than half a year, Shenghua Electronics was able to thoroughly absorb the technology completed from the American branch, and then make a prototype according to Song Yuanchao's requirements, and its progress has been very good.

Although the prototype has come out, and today's test results have also made Song Yuanchao quite satisfied, it will take time to really put the product into production.

Song Yuanchao inquired about the formal production of the Chinese pager, and Shen Xiangsheng immediately made a detailed report to Song Yuanchao.

The design of the product has been finalized, in fact, this prototype has the outline of the stereotyped design, but it is still very rough.

According to the actual product stereotype, the formal product shell will be made of ABS material, ABS is one of the five general plastics, with good heat resistance, high surface hardness, good dimensional stability, chemical resistance and electrical properties, easy molding and machining and other excellent comprehensive properties.

This material is very good as the shell of the pager, although the price is higher than ordinary plastic, but the effect is obvious, and according to the requirements of Song Yuanchao, Shenghua's pager in addition to the most ordinary black, but also have other colors, such as red, yellow, orange and other colors suitable for young people and women.

Due to the demand for color, which is also the advantage of ABS material, the opening of the shell shape is ready, and once the prototype is passed, it can be started immediately.

In addition to the shell of the pager itself, it will also be equipped with a matching shell with a clip as an external accessory, when the main body can be directly inserted into the outer shell, and the machine is no longer needed to be used when the machine is directly removed from the belt and then installed, which will be a lot more convenient.

Of course, the anti-drop chain of the main body is still retained, and it will be optimized to achieve a sturdy, reliable and beautiful effect.

As for the pager itself, the important thing is the internal spare parts. This is more troublesome, the machine's communication chips and some spare parts cannot be produced in China, and Shenghua does not have this ability, so it can only rely on foreign imports and customization.

Shen Xiangsheng told Song Yuanchao that at present, these products can only be supplied through Europe, America, Japan, and the Taiwan Strait, and the cost is high.

According to the comparison of spare parts provided by Shenghua Electronics to these suppliers, Motorola's communication chip technology is the best, but compared with the price and practicality, Japan has the greatest advantage.

After testing, Shenghua Electronics proposed two schemes, one is to use Motorola's communication chips, and the second is to use Japanese communication chips, but no matter which one is used, customized production is required, and the output can only be reduced by reaching a certain degree of quantity.

Song Yuanchao did not make a decision on this immediately, he planned to let Shenghua Telecom and the American company contact each other separately, and see the results of the negotiation before making a choice, after all, this is the key to the development of the entire pager business, and we must be cautious.

In addition, even if the problem of spare parts and key communication chips is solved, the cost of Chinese pagers will be high. According to Shen Xiangsheng's calculations, if it is just a digital pager, because the communication chip is very mature and there are many manufacturers, the cost will be much lower.

】

Mass production, the cost of digital pager Shenghua Electronics can be pressed to a cost of about 80 yuan, but the Chinese pager is different, according to the preliminary estimate of the cost to at least reach a high level of about 300 yuan, this cost is too high.

Song Yuanchao is noncommittal, can he smile, 300 yuan? Is it high? Not tall either!

In big cities like Shanghai and Yanjing, the average monthly income of ordinary workers has exceeded 120 yuan, and there are also 200 yuan with a high income, which was simply impossible before.

As for Pengcheng, not to mention, as long as an ordinary migrant worker is willing to work, it is easy to get this number in a month, and if it is a staff member of the management level, it is no problem to multiply it a few times.

Song Yuanchao used pagers back then, whether it was an ordinary digital display or a later Chinese machine, it was distributed by the unit, and it didn't cost him a penny. But as a staff member of the telecommunications department, Song Yuanchao still has a considerable understanding of the price of pagers.

Nowadays, the price of the domestic digital Motorola classic pager is about 750 yuan, which is almost the salary income of some groups with higher wages for more than 4 months. As for the Chinese pager Shenghua has just been developed and has not yet been officially put into the market, but Song Yuanchao remembers that when it was just listed, the price of a Chinese pager was about 4,000 yuan, which was ridiculously expensive.

But even so, the sales of pagers in China are still extremely hot, in the early nineties, especially in the three years from 1992 to 1994, the annual sales growth rate of the pager market is extremely amazing, and the annual sales of Motorola a brand of digital pagers have reached millions.

Even in Xiangjiang now, the price of pagers is not low, and from this point of view, the cost is slightly higher for Shenghua is not a matter at all.

Shenghua wants the market, what you want is the first, especially now that Shenghua has taken the lead in developing a Chinese pager, compared to the history of Motorola according to the Chinese market demand in the early nineties only found this problem, so as to launch a targeted Chinese pager, Shenghua this step has long gone to the front.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Song Yuanchao's mind, and he suddenly had an idea.

Now the domestic market has not even risen up digital pagers, the key is of course because the domestic consumption capacity has not reached a certain level, coupled with the emergence of pagers, which has not yet been accepted by most people, and the establishment and setting of paging stations also need time to cover and improve.

However, overseas countries are different, such as Xiangjiang, Taiwan Strait, Japan, South Korea, these regions and countries, their pager market has gradually matured, and the user group is larger, but the pager they use is still an old-fashioned pager.

Take Xiangjiang as an example, at present, even the digital display pager has just come out, a few years ago, Xiangjiang's pager has not been able to send message messages directly, and can only get paging information by receiving the paging signal by the owner replying to the pager station on the paging number.

If the Chinese pager is promoted in these regions and countries first, it is a very good sales direction, and after a year or two, the domestic pager market will gradually improve, and then hit back the horse gun and enter the right place.

Shenghua's advantage in this area is the technology and patent of Chinese paging, although this thing is not unusual from a technical point of view, in a word, it is a matter of piercing a layer of window paper, but who let Shenghua go ahead?

What's more, this technology is currently in the hands of American companies, and Shenghua Telecom has obtained it through nominal "technology transfer". Because of the existence of American companies, there is no problem for products to enter these markets, and Xiangjiang, as the local location of Shenghua Telecom, and Shenghua originally had its own paging station, which is the most convenient to operate.

Even Japan and South Korea are not the slightest problem, and American fathers' products want to enter the market, when the son dares to oppose it? It's completely impossible.

What's more, Song Yuanchao also thought that he could use this opportunity to cooperate with Japanese suppliers, share the market through technology licensing, and at the same time obtain preferential procurement of communication chips and other spare parts from the other party.

Even Song Yuanchao pondered that maybe he could directly exchange technology to get the production technology of communication chips, including production lines or something, if this was the case, it would be better, although this is not very likely, but it doesn't hurt to try, what if?

As for the conversion of Chinese to Japanese and Korean, there is no problem in terms of technology, and Song Yuanchao immediately instructed Shen Xiangsheng to let Shenghua Electronics start to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Shen Xiangsheng is also a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he immediately understood what Song Yuanchao wanted to do, and the look of admiration on his face after agreeing made Song Yuanchao a little proud.

Jingle bells.

The phone on the table rang suddenly, Shen Xiangsheng picked up the phone and listened, and handed the phone to Song Yuanchao after a while.

"Mr. Song, your phone number."

"My phone? Who called? Song Yuanchao was stunned, this is not his office, he came to Shenghua Electronics today to see the products, so now he is sitting in Shen Xiangsheng's office, how can there be a phone to find himself?

Deputy Chief Engineer Li ....... Shen Xiangsheng smiled and handed the phone to Song Yuanchao, then pointed to the door very knowingly, and went out first.

Song Yuanchao took the phone and put it to his ear, of course he knew who the deputy chief engineer Li was in Shen Xiangsheng's mouth, and immediately said with a smile on the phone: "Uncle Li, how do you know that I am here?" Didn't you go to Xiangjiang with my Aunt Dong? ”

"You kid can make it easy for me to find!" Uncle Li's voice came from the phone, and his tone was filled with irrepressible laughter: "I called your swallow earlier, she told me that you went to Pengcheng, and I knew that you must have gone to Shenghua Electronics as soon as I thought about it, so I called Lao Shen to ask, I didn't think you were in his office." ”

"Hahaha, Uncle Li, you guessed accurately, by the way, you have something to do with me?"

"Good thing!" Uncle Li smiled on the phone: "Daqi, his wife just gave birth, son!" Seven pounds and two taels, hahaha! ”

"Really? That's great! Song Yuanchao said happily: "Congratulations, congratulations on becoming a grandfather, you can forget your wish." By the way, what about Daqi? How is Xiaoli? Okay? ”

"It's all good, I'm busy here, I'm an old man who calls relatives and friends one by one to inform you, you kid said before that you want to be a godfather to the child, don't I specifically tell you about this, okay, the matter has also been said, you can be busy with your first, Xiaoli will stay in the hospital for two days, and other things will be ...... when you are discharged from the hospital."

After speaking, Uncle Li hung up the phone, Song Yuanchao's face was full of joy after putting down the phone, among his brothers, he and Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo had the best relationship, and now Li Daqi is also a father, Song Yuanchao is really happy for him.
