Chapter 161: Sweeping the World (4.8k)
In China in the eighties and nineties, as long as you set up a stall on the street and sell clothes, shoes, socks, tea eggs, electronic watches and other products, you could make a lot of money, and you became an enviable 10,000-yuan household.
Shenzhen.
Sun Youqian is a 10,000-yuan household, and he has been selling clothes on the road since 1985.
As his business gets bigger and bigger, he already has the money to build a 100-square-meter store for himself.
His career is thriving, but he is reluctant to spend money on a Motorola mobile phone.
Sun Youqian worked hard from the bottom and suffered a lot, and every penny came from hard work.
As the saying goes, spend your money wisely.
The Motorola handbag phone for tens of thousands of dollars is too expensive, and he would rather use a combination of fixed-line + BB machines.
"Yo, Boss Sun, you have opened such a big store, why do you still have a BB machine on your belt, why don't you have a whole Motorola mobile phone, how domineering! When others look at that guy, they know that you are the big boss! Sun's rich acquaintance saw him and spoke.
When Sun Youqian heard this, he smiled embarrassedly on his face, and said: "How can my Sun have the money to afford a Motorola mobile phone, the two-way text BB machine of Wujiang Group is very good, I can use it to send text messages to others......"
"Boss Sun, you are too modest, you look at your name with the word 'rich', and say that you have no money. Are rich people so low-key? ”
Sun Youqian couldn't help laughing, this name was given by his father, at that time, the family was surrounded by four walls, and he happened to be born, his father hoped that this baby would be "rich" in the future, so he named it "Sun Youqian".
After a while, Sun Youqian returned to his shop.
At this time, more than a dozen customers came to the store, all looking at the clothes.
At this time, Sun Youqian heard the conversation of several customers and immediately showed surprise.
"I heard that we are about to launch PHS in Shenzhen, and I am ready to save some money and buy a PHS mobile phone!" A tall and thin man wearing black-framed glasses and a good shirt looked like he was working in a government agency, and said to his companions.
"Well, I've heard about it too, and I'm planning to buy a PHS phone. With a PHS mobile phone, you can carry it with you, whether it is to call others or others to contact yourself, it is more convenient. ”
"Yes, PHS phones are really useful. The point is that its price is several times cheaper than the Motorola mobile phone, and we gritted our teeth and barely managed to afford it...... Oh, by the way, I heard that PHS mobile phones are already a hot mess in Hong Kong, and countries around the world have sent people to cooperate with Wujiang Group to introduce PHS technology, including Japan!! ”
The two of them said, they couldn't help but feel proud, Wujiang is so awesome, although the two of them are not employees of Wujiang Group, they are also honored!
Hehe, aren't the Japanese very awesome, it's not about introducing our Chinese technology!
Sun Youqian eavesdropped for a while, and finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Shenzhen had reached a cooperation with Wujiang Communication Technology and was ready to promote PHS technology.
Nowadays, PHS base stations are being built rapidly in various parts of Shenzhen.
When the base station layout is completed, PHS services will be launched.
Motorola's big brick mobile phone costs 30,000 yuan a piece, and the PHS mobile phone of Wujiang Communication Technology Company is several times cheaper than it, maybe you can buy a PHS mobile phone for five or six thousand yuan.
"Even Hong Kong people are using PHS mobile phones, which shows that PHS mobile phones are really good. In other words, PHS mobile phones are so cheap, and my grandson is rich and a clothing store owner, so it's time to buy a mobile phone......"
Previously, a friend asked Sun Youqian why he didn't buy a Motorola mobile phone, and he pretended not to care, but in fact, he was still a little angry.
Sun Youqian then went to inquire and learned that the Post and Telecommunications Bureau is indeed building a PHS base station, and the price of PHS is indeed very cheap, but PHS can only make calls in Shenzhen at present.
Sun Youqian thinks that there must be gains if there is a loss, and since PHS is so cheap, it is normal to have a little flaw.
In the days to come, he was looking forward to the news of the launch of "PHS-1" every day.
On October 1, Shenzhen Post and Telecommunications Bureau launched the "PHS Service", and the "PHS-1" was sold in the flagship store of Wujiang and the business hall of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Shenzhen is a special economic zone, a city at the forefront of reform and opening up, and there are many more wealthy people than other cities.
But they are not very rich, and at least very few people can afford a Motorola mobile phone.
The launch of "PHS-1" just satisfies their spending power.
As a result, countless citizens in Shenzhen have flocked to the flagship store and the business hall of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to purchase the "PHS-1".
The grandeur is even greater than that in Hong Kong.
Shenzhen became the first city in the mainland to open PHS, followed by Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beiping City.
For a time, PHS took the lead in China, like mushrooms after a rain, blooming everywhere.
In less than a month, in mainland China alone, Wujiang sold 1 million units of "Wujiang PHS-1".
At this time, the "PHS-1" is unique, and many people across the country are proud to have a "PHS-1".
The man took off the BB from his waist and replaced it with "PHS-1".
The lady used a beautiful rope to string the PHS-1 and hung it around her neck for a quick look.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you bring a mobile phone belt holster and a mobile phone lanyard, the "PHS-1" is small and exquisite, and you can put it directly in your pocket.
However, many people like to show off, like to pretend to be forced, and don't expose the "PHS-1" to the outside, who knew I bought a mobile phone? Isn't that a brocade nocturn?
Borderless understands people's hearts and minds, and has specially provided men's belt holsters for men and women's mobile phone lanyards for women.
Pretending to be forced + comparing = sales.
Good guys, it's not for nothing that "PHS-1" is a big hit in China......
Of course, the main reason is that although PHS technology is relatively backward, it is very in line with China's national conditions, so PHS has received extensive support.
"Mr. Zhao, this PHS developed by your company is very good, and it has made great contributions to my country's communications industry!" Secretary Liu Hai said with a smile on his face.
Zhao Ye smiled slightly: "PHS technology is just in line with my country's national conditions, so it can develop so quickly in China!" In fact, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. has also developed a 2G wireless communication technology - cdma code division multiple access technology.
This technology is more advanced than the GSM developed in Europe, and has more development potential, and can evolve to 3G and 4G technologies in the future. ”
Zhao Ye paused slightly, and introduced it to Secretary Liu in detail, he first revealed a little boundless technical reserves to the country, so as not to prevent the country from adopting European GSM technology in the future.
Zhao Ye organized the language and said: "Compared with GSM based on time division multiple access, CDMA has several advantages.
First, the capacity is large, that is, the spectrum utilization rate is high. CDMA can allow more users to make calls in the same frequency band as GSM, and there is basically no problem of users' mobile phones not being able to go online. With the same frequency resources, the system capacity of CDMA network is 10 times that of analog network and 4-5 times that of GSM, which greatly improves the utilization rate of frequency resources and alleviates the current situation of increasing tension of frequency resources.
Second, the sound quality is good. CDMA mobile phone calls are clear and low-noise, which can eliminate the disadvantages of disconnection and crosstalk in the GMS network.
Third, there is strong confidentiality. CDMA technology can be widely used in the field of military communications.
Fourth, the radiation is small. The frequency and power of the transmitted signal of CDMA mobile phones are very small, less than 60/60 of the average transmit power of GSM mobile phones, and even lower than the radiated power generated by TV screens.
Fifth, network design, construction, and capacity expansion are relatively simple, and can be smoothly upgraded, which is the evolution to 3G and 4G as I just mentioned.
In addition, the digital control channel of CDMA can also support functions such as satellite communication, multi-party call, voicemail, etc., which can provide image, video and multimedia services that cannot be done by analog and GSM networks......"
After Zhao Ye introduced, Secretary Liu Hai's face was full of surprise and excitement, this cdma technology seems to be much stronger than GSM.
Wujiang Group is also too good, and the technology developed by it has even surpassed the GSM developed by the whole of Europe.
"Mr. Zhao, since Wujiang Group has such advanced communication technology, why don't you take it out and use it?" Secretary Liu Hai asked urgently and curiously.
Zhao Ye smiled helplessly: "The development of CDMA is relatively difficult, and the technology is not very mature, so we have not taken out the CDMA technology for the time being, but chose to use PHS technology first." However, please rest assured that our Wujiang Group dares to issue a military order, and we will come up with mature CDMA technology in one year at the earliest, and two years at the latest!! ”
So fast!!
When Secretary Liu Hai heard this, he was overjoyed.
"Okay, then the country is waiting for the good news of your company!"
Secretary Liu Hai suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, about the CDMA matter, I will report to the above, and then there should be an expert group to investigate and study your Wujiang Communication Technology Company......
Zhao Ye said with a smile: "No problem, warmly welcome the above expert group to visit Wujiang Communication Technology Company!" ”
Leaving the government building, Zhao Ye had a smile on his face.
Recently, with the rise of PHS, the European GSM standard-setting organization has been a little ill-intentioned and sent people to China to introduce GSM standards.
When Zhao Ye heard the news, he hurriedly chatted with Secretary Liu Hai, and revealed by the way that Wujiang Group is also developing 2G communication network technology, and it is more advanced than the other party.
But said Secretary Liu Hai, the mood at this moment is still not calm.
Zhao Ye and Wujiang Group have never been untargeted, that is to say, CDMA technology should be real.
Unexpectedly, Wujiang Group secretly developed such an advanced mobile communication technology as CDMA without making a sound.
……
……
NTT, Japan's largest telecommunications operator, has signed a $1 billion partnership with Wujiang Communications Technologies.
A large number of complete sets of PHS base station equipment are shipped from Tianjin Port by cargo ship and then to Tokyo, Japan.
At this time, NTT, a Japanese telephone and telegraph company, had roughly completed the layout and distribution map of PHS base stations in Tokyo.
With the arrival of PHS base station equipment, NTT, a Japanese telephone and telegraph company, immediately organized manpower and began to lay PHS base stations on a large scale.
Due to the fire in Hong Kong and the mainland, it is impossible for Japanese media and companies to be blind, and with the Japanese telephone and telegraph company NTT laying a PHS base station network in Tokyo, NTT's stock price soared for a while.
Major Japanese media and experts are analyzing the application prospects of PHS technology in Japan and quickly come to conclusions.
That is: PHS has the potential to catch fire in Japan.
Japan has a small number of people, which is just right for PHS.
GSM digital mobile communication technology was first released in 1987, and the countries that started to set up GSM networks were almost exclusively those in Europe. It wasn't until 1990 that GSM-based networks were officially on the right track, and then widely used.
Japan is still in the era of 1G communications.
PHS was born at this time, and it is naturally extremely competitive.
NTT, a Japanese telephone and telegraph company, has spared no effort to promote PHS this time, mobilizing a large number of manpower and resources, and striving to quickly complete the layout in Tokyo and even other cities in Japan.
The first person to eat crabs is the one who earns the most.
Installing a PHS base station is very simple, and it is not much more difficult than installing a "TV satellite pot".
It only took half a month, and PHS basically covered the whole of Tokyo.
Subsequently, NTT, a Japanese telephone and telegraph company, officially launched the PHS service.
On the same day, countless Japanese people rushed to the NTT and Wujiang flagship stores to buy the "Wujiang PHS-1".
At this time, the Japanese rich did have money, and they bought and bought all kinds of things all over the world, Mitsubishi Estate acquired the Rockefeller Center, a national historic landmark in the United States, for $1.34 billion, Sony successfully bought the American entertainment giant Columbia Pictures for $3.4 billion, Japan Life Insurance merged with the American Shezon Liman Brothers, and the Bank of Tokyo acquired the United Bank of America.
In addition, Japanese companies are also investing heavily in real estate in central cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Hawaii. By the end of the 80s, 10% of the real estate in the United States had become the pockets of the Japanese, which was very scary.
However, there are more ordinary people in Japan.
Therefore, PHS has a broad market in Japan.
On this day, due to the excessive number of people, it directly led to the paralysis of traffic in many places.
Tokyo's traffic police are too busy.
"Inoue Chuanyue, you did a beautiful job and successfully helped the company reach a cooperation with Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd., which led to today's great success!!" Inoue's boss saw that the NTT business hall was overcrowded, and couldn't help but praise Inoue Kawazuki beside him.
Inoue Chuanyue bowed slightly, smiled modestly, and said: "Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. originally wanted to enter the Japanese market with PHS technology, and I negotiated on behalf of the company, but it was just a matter of hitting it off and becoming logical. ”
"But you have won the patent authorization of PHS mobile phone for the company, and the company has decided to reward you with 2 million yen as a bonus!"
"Thank you, company!"
At this time, other telecom operators in Japan have also taken action, quickly sending people to cooperate with Wujiang Communication Technology Company, also wanting to get a piece of the pie, and planning to lay PHS base stations in other cities.
Now it is a horse race, whoever builds the PHS base station first will be able to gain local users.
Wujiang communication technology for collaborators, come and do not refuse, anyway, they are just selling equipment, how do you want to compete, what does it matter to me.
……
Towards the end of the year, following Japan, telecom companies in Southeast Asian countries have launched PHS projects. A number of telecom giants in the United States have also reached cooperation with Wujiang Communication Technology.
"Oh my God, even telecom companies in Africa and South America have sent people to Wujiang Communication Technology Company to discuss cooperation, and want to introduce PHS technology, which is really awesome!" An old man in his fifties who read the newspaper said excitedly.
My colleague couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "China is borderless, it's really super powerful!! ”
"Wujiang is once again famous overseas, and it deserves to be the brightest star in China's science and technology industry! I'll tell my son when I go back next time, if he doesn't go to the Borderless Group after graduation, I'll kill him as a waste! ”
"Lao Liu, stop your anger!"
"Why are you angry, he is now interning in Wujiang, and the leaders of Wujiang are very optimistic about him, and want him to work directly in Wujiang after graduation, and directly become a regular with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. This kid is hesitating whether to accept the state's package allocation, get one or two hundred yuan a month, or go to Wujiang ......," Lao Liu said.
"......" colleague was stunned, stunned for a while, I am special...... The clown turned out to be myself, Lao Tzu also persuaded him, persuaded a hammer, Lao Liu, a bad old man, pretended to be forced in front of Lao Tzu!
……
I have to say that PHS appeared at this time, which is really a good time.
The era of 2G mobile communication has just sprouted, which makes PHS technology an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it is frantically conquering cities around the world.
Once the telecom company has invested in PHS, then if you want them to invest in GSM, you have to think about it.
In the same way, in the previous life, due to the late emergence of PHS technology, many countries have already invested in GSM.
It is not difficult to imagine that in this life, Europe wants to promote GSM, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth.
December 5, 1988.
The shipment of "PHS-1" exceeded 5 million units, and it took less than half a year for Wujiang Group to become a mobile phone manufacturing giant alongside Motorola.
Wujiang Group immediately announced the news.
As soon as this news came out, it couldn't help but cause a sensation in the whole world......
