Although it is inconceivable that the shareholders' meeting will be staged in full force, it seems even more unbelievable that the lawmakers on the other side of the Pacific are fighting at the venue of the "Black Palace".

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Ye didn't feel strange.

At this time, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company fell directly.

The major shareholders couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly contacted Zhou Anping to express their agreement with each other's conditions.

……

……

End of July 1988.

Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. and Great Eastern Telegraph Co., Ltd. jointly acquired Hong Kong Telephone Company, and later merged Hong Kong Telephone Company and Great Eastern Telegraph Company (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. to form Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation.

As soon as this news came out, it was a big surprise.

Many shareholders wept with joy, keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, and the Hong Kong telephone company was acquired, and the value of the shares in their hands soared immediately.

As for those shareholders who sold the shares of the Hong Kong Telephone Company at a low price, they regretted it at this time.

In any case, Borderless Group has taken control of Hong Kong's communications industry, and the group's influence in Hong Kong has been further strengthened.

The main purpose of Wujiang Communication's acquisition of telcos is to promote CDMA technology.

However, at present, the CDMA technology is not mature enough, and there may be huge risks in rushing to launch.

However, Wujiang Communications can promote PHS in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong is a small land, it has a large population, according to statistics, in 1988, Hong Kong had 5.62 million people.

Motorola mobile phones are expensive, 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars each, and the monthly tariff is also very expensive. Therefore, most Hong Kong people still use landline or BB machines.

PHS definitely has a great market prospect in Hong Kong.

After seeing the PHS technology of Wujiang communication technology, Dadong Telegraph Office couldn't help but be glad that it chose to cooperate with Wujiang, otherwise, as soon as the PHS technology was launched, many people in Hong Kong would become users of Jiangjiang PHS.

PHS is only an extension of the fixed line, and there is no need to apply for a mobile communication license in China.

In Beiping, because there are many issues to consider, it is still in talks with Wujiang Communication Technology Company, while Hong Kong has already planned to launch PHS services.

Lu Jia came to Hong Kong at this time and personally presided over the promotion of PHS.

Headquarters of Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation.

Lu Jia, Luke Theresa, Warren Tony and others are meeting to discuss PHS's promotion plan.

"The coverage area of a 500 milliwatt PHS base station is very small, the maximum coverage radius is about 300 meters, so basically a community must build a base station, fortunately, the investment of PHS base station is low, so we can build more base stations to cover the entire Hong Kong area! I calculated that about 5,000 base stations will be built, and in remote rural areas, we will not build base stations, and base stations are mainly built in areas with large populations, which is more economical and cost-effective! Luke Theresa, who is now the general manager of Hong Kong Telecom, has become the deputy of Warren Tony.

Lu Jia groaned: "The investment in each Xiaoling base station is about 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if there are 5,000 base stations, the total investment is 500 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

According to statistics in the previous life, there are more than one million PHS base stations in China, with a total investment of hundreds of billions.

In fact, the cost of building a PHS base station is lower, but "the brothers settle the accounts", Dadong Telegraph is another major shareholder of the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company, and the price of a PHS base station is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is already very favorable.

Ahem...... The installation cost of PHS base station is about 10,000 yuan, and the localization is 100%, the cost is low, and there is no way.

In the previous life, you can see that many families have PHS base stations installed on the roofs at any time, and at a glance, you will know that this kind of play is not very valuable.

Warren Tony said: "The investment of 500 million Hong Kong dollars is relatively large, but as long as PHS can cover the whole of Hong Kong, then the benefits obtained by Hong Kong telecommunications companies will be very huge. Second, get a long-term and stable tariff. Hong Kong has more than 5 million people, and even if it gets 1/10 subscribers, Hong Kong Telecommunications can make a lot of money! ”

After a pause, Warren Tony calculated: "PHS users are charged 1,000 Hong Kong dollars for accessing the network, and the average monthly tariff is 100 Hong Kong dollars, assuming that the number of users in the first year is only 500,000, then Hong Kong Telecom can create 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars in revenue, that is, in just one year, we can not only recover the cost, but also make a lot of money!! ”

Hong Kong is no more prosperous than other places, and many things are expensive.

Moreover, it is 1988, and when the new technology was first introduced, it was normal for the tariff to be a little more expensive. As for the network access fee, this is actually the way the telecommunications company makes money, after all, it costs so much to invest in the base station, you pay a little network access fee, which should be very reasonable......

To buy a Motorola mobile phone, the network access fee is 5000 Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly tariff is not cheap, the minimum consumption is hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, some people can afford to buy a Motorola mobile phone, but in the end they can't afford to pay the tariff.

In Hong Kong, Motorola mobile phones are still a luxury.

In 1988, the monthly salary of ordinary Hong Kong people was about 2,500 Hong Kong dollars, spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy a mobile phone, and then having to pay so many fees, how many people were willing to do it.

The retail price of PHS mobile phones is 5,000 yuan, and the network access fee is 1,000 yuan.

After listening to Warren Toney's calculations, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

It's too easy to make money!

"Mr. Lu, the soldier is fast, the sooner Ma Xiaoling, the higher the benefit! In my opinion, Hong Kong Telecom needs to lay base stations as soon as possible, and the base station equipment and PHS mobile phones of Wujiang Communication Technology Company must be fully prepared! Luke Theresa looked at Lu Jia and spoke.

Lu Jia smiled and nodded: "No problem, don't worry, the production capacity of the Wujiang factory is very strong, enough to supply the entire Hong Kong." ”

The production capacity of the Wujiang factory was originally benchmarked against the mainland, and it was not easy to meet the needs of Hong Kong.

……

In order to develop mobile phones and PHS, Loongson Design Co., Ltd. has dispatched elite soldiers to work with Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. to develop RF chips, CDMA chips, digital baseband processors, power management chips, audio processing chips, etc......

In mobile phone terminals, the most important cores are RF chips and baseband chips. The RF chip is responsible for RF transceiving, frequency synthesis, and power amplification; The baseband chip is responsible for signal processing and protocol processing.

Based on its own needs and accelerating the development of chips, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. naturally chose to cooperate with the powerful Loongson design company.

On the side of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., the RF chip and baseband chip were successfully taped out, and a small range of tests were carried out in China, and the signal was very good, the performance was extremely stable, and the call sound was clear.

……

Shanghai.

At this time, Zhao Ye fiddled with a PHS prototype, this PHS is light and slender, compared with the big brick of the Motorola mobile phone, it is definitely an ultra-light and ultra-thin design, the weight of the whole machine is only 168g, and it is small and comfortable to hold in your hand.

Its exterior has a straight design, with smooth lines and a complete finish. The color on both sides of the main body of the fuselage is elegant silver gray, and in the middle is sunshine gold, moonlight silver, xia appearance, glow red, midnight gray and other colors, all of which are affectionate. The vertical strips of different crystal colors are embellished among them, like the finishing touch, and the machine surface is immediately vivid, and the whole fuselage is simple, natural and not abrupt, showing everyone's elegant style, and the feeling of fashion is as promised.

"Compared to Motorola's 'big brick', this PHS is a work of art! If it weren't for the fact that you can't make roaming calls, there's basically no big downside. Motorola's mobile phone is not very good, the analog signal communication is poor, and when you make a call, you have to speak loudly, which makes the people around you look sideways. However, it seems to be very forced......"

Zhao Ye put PHS on the left side of the table, and then couldn't help but glance at the Motorola mobile phone on the right side of the table.

Compared with the two, Zhao Ye couldn't help but look down on Motorola's mobile phone even more.

Big bricks, it's inconvenient to take out, and it also consumes electricity.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Ye shouted, "Please come in."

Immediately, Liu Yinyin pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, Mr. Lu has news that Hong Kong Telecom Company plans to invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars to lay 5,000 base stations in Hong Kong!"

"yes, I see."

Zhao Ye thought for a while and said to Liu Yinyin, "Notify the Beiping Wujiang Factory, step up production, and be ready to increase production capacity at any time." I expect that when the situation in Hong Kong opens up, the PHS project should be launched in China soon! ”

"Yes!"

In fact, when Shenzhen heard the news, it has sent people to contact Wujiang Communication Technology Company, and the other party's attitude is very positive. What's not good, Shenzhen launched PHS service earlier than Beiping!

……

In mid-August, the first batch of base station equipment arrived in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Telecommunications Company immediately organized manpower and began to build base stations.

Because the coverage area of PHS is very small, with a radius of only about 300 meters, when installing base stations in cities, it is often necessary to operate on the roofs of citizens' homes.

So you can't get noticed if you don't want to.

Soon, news about PHS spread throughout Hong Kong, causing heated discussions among Hong Kong people.

ATV sent a reporter to interview Luke Theresa, the general manager of the Hong Kong Telecommunications Corporation, to introduce PHS to Hong Kong citizens.

"Oriental Daily" also popularized PHS for everyone in the newspaper.

It caused a huge sensation for a while.

"Wujiang has announced that it will hold a product launch conference in Hong Kong in the near future to announce the specific situation of PHS mobile phones, but it is said that the price is several times cheaper than Motorola mobile phones!"

"Haha, PHS is good, although you can only make calls in Hong Kong, but PHS is cheap, my relatives and friends, siblings and brothers are all in Hong Kong, I only need to buy PHS is enough, why bother to buy a Motorola mobile phone!"

“……”

The news soon spread to the United States, and the most direct impact was reflected in the stock market, Motorola's stock price plummeted, and in just a few days, it lost more than $1 billion!

Motorola.

Everyone was speechless and helpless.

This Borderless Group is a lifelong enemy of Motorola, and it is always against Motorola!

Everyone couldn't help but hate the Borderless Group so much that their teeth itched.

It can be said that Borderless has become a thorn in Motorola's side.

Motorola was the BB machine overlord at the beginning, but as a result, it stepped in and snatched the BB machine market hegemony.

In the telecommunications equipment market, the emergence of boundless program-controlled switches has caused serious damage to the interests of Motorola.

At present, mobile phones are the core industry of Motorola. As a result, the Wujiang Group came out to make trouble again.

"According to the information I have gathered, PHS is actually just like that, the technology is very low-end, and it can't even roam, so it can only make calls locally, limited to one city and one place." A technical executive said with disdain on his face, but his eyes still betrayed him, PHS certainly has merits, advantages and disadvantages are obvious, can solve the communication needs of most people, and the market prospect is broad.

However, PHS is basically not very competitive in the business field.

What's the use of buying a PHS mobile phone but not being able to contact a partner in the field? It's better to buy a "big brother" directly.

At this time, Motorola basically had nothing to do about the birth of PHS.

We can only find ways to improve the quality of our own products and reduce costs.

Although PHS will have an impact on the business of Motorola's mobile phone, it will not have much impact.

The two sides belong to differentiated competition.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all, some people originally planned to buy a Motorola mobile phone, but as soon as they heard that the PHS project was going to be launched in Hong Kong, they decided to buy PHS, if they want to make overseas calls, they can call through a fixed line.

Whether it is a business or a business, you should use your money to the best of your ability......

Half a month later, the second batch of base station equipment was sent to Hong Kong, along with a batch of PHS mobile phones.

HKT is fully capable of activating services in areas where PHS base stations have already been installed.

……

On the morning of August 15th, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. held a product launch conference in Hong Kong and officially launched PHS mobile phones.

Lu Jia stood on the stage in high spirits and showed everyone the PHS mobile phone.

"This PHS phone is less than one-sixth the size of a Motorola brick, and it is small and comfortable to hold in your hand!"

"The design is simple and stylish, with an LCD screen on top and buttons on the bottom."

"Not only can it make calls, but it can also send text messages."

"In addition, it has features such as call logs, notepads, phone books, alarm clocks, games, calendars, calculators, and more."

"That's right, this PHS phone can also play games, and in your spare time, you can take it out and play games to relax yourself."

"The name of the game is "Snake", and you can keep devouring food to make yourself longer, and I'll show you how to do it later."

"In terms of standby capacity, it can last about 150 hours and can support a week of normal use."

Unlike smartphones, PHS basically doesn't consume much power, and no one will play with PHS all day long.

Chips, batteries, etc. are all developed and produced by Wujiang Group, with first-class quality, although they dare not guarantee that Nokia 6300 released by Nokia in 2007, the standby time is nearly a month, but a week can still be achieved casually.

PS: Something is going on today, only 4k. A little more word count for tomorrow's update. Finally, please give PHS mobile phone a brand name, otherwise, I will take it myself, I heard that I have a very bad name, right?
