Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

In the United States, Motorola is developing plans to produce text BB.

An executive named Randy Rossetti said excitedly: "Since Wujiang Communication Technology Company launched the text BB, sales have increased sharply. We should increase production capacity and fully produce Motorola text BB machines!!!"

"Randy Rossetti is right. Text BB machines are popular all over the world, especially in developing countries, and the sales are extremely amazing. We at Motorola must quickly grab this piece of cake!" a senior executive agreed.

At the meeting, everyone unanimously decided to increase investment and increase BB machine production capacity.

In the next period of time, the Motorola factory worked frantically overtime to produce, preparing to stock up on a large number of text BB machines.

The same is true for other BB machine manufacturers around the world.

A fierce competition for BB machines is about to begin.

However, it was obvious that they were going to be hammered again.

Wujiang Communication Technology Company is about to launch a two-way text BB machine, which can send text messages directly between BB machines.

The major BB machine manufacturers may be severely cheated by Wujiang Group again.

……

"Mr. Zhao, we contacted an insurance company in the United States. They have a Houston communication satellite at a relatively cheap price!"

"This satellite is called the Westa6 geostationary communications satellite. In February 1984, the U.S. Space Shuttle Challenger carried the satellite into space together with another Indonesian Palapa B2 satellite. However, the two satellites were separated from the space After the plane, the perigee engine on the satellite did not ignite as scheduled, so they failed to enter the scheduled orbit and the satellite launch failed."

"However, the insurance company that insured the satellite launch paid the insurance premium for the failure of the satellite launch and took ownership of the two satellites. After calculating the relevant costs, the insurance company believed that recycling the two satellites was economically worthwhile. Therefore, the insurance company entrusted Hughes Aircraft Company and NASA to jointly complete the satellite recovery mission."

CITIC Group executive Liao Xinghua called suddenly and introduced Zhao Ye.

At the same time, he also serves as the general manager of Asia Satellite Corporation.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he suddenly understood.

Come to think of it, this Westa6 communication satellite is the "Asia " communication satellite in the previous life.

On April 1990, 4, China's Long March 7 rocket was used to successfully launch the Asia- satellite, which ushered in a new era of satellite communications and broadcasting in Asia.

AsiaSat-1 is the first commercial communications satellite in Asia and is of great significance. For the country, "Asia One" is also a pioneer in securing valuable satellite orbit resources for China, elevating national sovereign interests to the level of space.

Why do you want to seize satellite orbit resources?

This is because the international satellite communications community and the United Nations and other organizations currently adhere to the principle that whoever occupies low-orbit space resources will own it forever.

Fortunately, there are very few countries or companies capable of launching satellites. Therefore, the race to enclose low-orbit space resources has not yet occurred. However, competition for horse racing staking will become extremely fierce in the future. If low-orbit resources in space are lost, it will be as serious a problem as losing territorial sea rights and access to the sea.

The entire country will be trapped in a low-orbit space environment. At that time, renting other people’s resources would be sky-high.

In the previous life, the earth's low-orbit resources were precious resources on the order of 5 satellites. Musk plans to launch 42000 rockets, and he has to do it within five years. Just be a good person. If your company has so much, how can others play...

For now, ATV's use of the "Asia-1" communication satellite is completely sufficient. This satellite alone is enough to cover most of Asia.

And it will not be until April 2003 that the Asia-4 satellite will successfully complete its historical mission and be honorably retired.

Zhao Ye quickly communicated with Liao Xinghua, and Asia Satellite Company purchased the Westa6 communication satellite from an American insurance company and then renamed it the "Asia " communication satellite. The relevant technical parameters of the satellite have also been readjusted and updated according to the requirements of covering the Asian region.

After Liao Xinghua successfully communicated with Zhao Ye, he immediately flew to the United States and purchased the Westa6 satellite from an insurance company.

Although it is a second-hand communication satellite, the price is not cheap, with an asking price of US$2000 million.

It was expected that Liao Xinghua would have to talk to the other party for a long time.

……

Zhao Ye was speechless when he opened his mouth to the lion of the insurance company.

Just this second-hand satellite is actually sold for 2000 million US dollars. What a rip off.

It is a pity that China cannot build such advanced satellites, otherwise why would it buy them from the Americans?

Having said that, launching satellites is also very expensive.

Currently, rockets cannot be recycled and are disposable, so launch costs are high.

Fortunately, China's rocket technology is relatively advanced and launch costs are very low. Many countries or companies have asked China for help in launching satellites.

"China's satellite technology is relatively backward. It seems that it is necessary to recruit aerospace technology developers from the Soviet Union. It is already 1988. In the next two years, we must speed up penetration and use our 'money' ability to get what we want!" "Zhao Ye murmured to himself.

……

In early June, Wujiang Communication Technology Company announced that it would hold a product launch conference on June 6.

This news immediately caused a sensation in the industry and caused a lot of speculation.

Wujiang has always been a benchmark for technological products, so this press conference attracted a lot of attention.

"What product will Wujiang Communication Technology Company release? Will it be a mobile phone? After all, Motorola's mobile phone business is very profitable, and Wujiang has no reason not to enter this market!"

"Indeed, since the name of Wujiang Communication Technology Company contains the word 'communication', Wujiang will most likely develop products related to mobile phones! We have released text BB machines before, now it is time to release mobile phones!"

"..."

Many people speculate that Wujiang Communication Technology Company will soon release a mobile phone, and they are quite looking forward to it.

However, they never expected that after Lu Jia came on stage, he introduced and demonstrated the two-way text BB machine to them.

The two-way text BB machine is only slightly larger than the one-way BB machine, but it has a wide screen, which is convenient for typing and reading.

When typing, a tiny virtual keyboard will be displayed on the screen. The user types using the Pinyin input method and selects letters by operating the direction keys.

The guests in the audience looked at this large-screen BB machine and were slightly surprised.

Not only does it display the time and date, but it also has more new functions, including notepad, BB account book, phone book, task list, alarm clock...

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

Several foreigners looked flustered and seemed to be representatives of "friends and businessmen".

Imagine's two-way BB machine is so awesome, can their company still sell BB machines?

It is extremely powerful with so many functions, and it can also send text messages to all other BB machines on the market.

If both users' BB machines are Imagine two-way text BB machines, then the instant chat function can almost be realized.
