Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After the celebration in Chicago, Bao Zixuan returned to Boston the next day. He wants to see how the Heiyun mobile phone functions. After all, he is only proposing a technical specification and appearance sketch.

When Bao Zixuan left, many Blackstone Fund employees had another expression. No one thought that this little boss could drink so well. Until now, no one knows how much Bao Zixuan drank last night, only a lot, and a lot more than them. But everyone is drunk, and only the boss is fine, that's the problem.

Returning to the Black Cloud Lab and seeing Yule Engel waiting for him, Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Yuer, how is our mobile phone performing? I can't wait to see it."

Yul-Engel: "It completely meets the technical requirements you mentioned. Now the size of the mobile phone is much smaller than that of the Motorola laboratory, and the weight is only half of the other side's, but the standby time is three times that of the other side. This is mainly because We have a major breakthrough in lithium battery technology and all our components have been streamlined."

In fact, Bao Zixuan knows that the signals used by mobile phones in this era are all 1g analog cellular networks. Although there are many shortcomings such as low spectrum utilization, limited business types, no high-speed data services, and poor confidentiality, compared with this era, it has important significance. He created a precedent for human long-distance wireless communication.

Bao Zixuan: "How much does the construction cost of our signal tower cost now?"

At present, there is no large-scale construction of signal towers in the market, and many telephone companies still do not see the prospect of this mobile phone product. Therefore, the cost can only be reduced to a minimum, and it is very likely that the signal tower will be built by yourself in the early stage. This is a lot of money, and it would be difficult to support it if it was just a single company in Heiyun, but Bao Zixuan also thought about this issue, which is to provide a good foundation for subsequent expansion. In the future, it can be seamlessly connected to the era of 2g\3g\4g\5g.

Juer-Engel: “Currently a small set of equipment costs $200,000 and can only be used in cities. But when you go outdoors you need a larger set of equipment, which is more cost-effective; $1.2 million to $1.5 million per set Between. It mainly depends on the order situation and usage requirements.”

Bao Zixuan: "We will first establish local systems in several major cities in the United States. If the effect is good, many telephone companies will follow up on this project. At that time, we can make a fortune even by selling equipment."

Heiyun has now purchased all the patented technologies of Bell Labs and Motorola on mobile phones and signal communication protocols, and he can completely upgrade and transform on this basis.

When Yul-Engel held a brand new mobile phone in front of Bao Zixuan, he really felt incredible this time. At present, Motorola only produces Big Brother, which is the kind of brick machine that can be used to smash walnuts. And what Yule Engel got in front of Bao Zixuan was a second brother, a brand new mobile phone with antenna telescopic function and microphone flip function.

Just by looking at the appearance, it can beat Motorola's similar products. This is the current technological capability of Heiyun. With Bao Zixuan's unremitting efforts and investment regardless of cost, this mobile phone can reach the level of the previous 90 years.

Bao Zixuan: "How much does this phone cost?"

Yule-Engel: "Except for the motherboard, which is made by Motorola, we manufacture the rest of the components ourselves. The cost of a one-step mobile phone is about $1,500, and if mass-produced, it can be controlled at $1,200."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan thought to himself, no wonder Motorola dared to launch so many satellites into space in the previous life, it turned out to be too rich. It's no joke that mobile phones are more lucrative than anyone imagined.

Bao Zixuan: "Very good, but we have to purchase enough motherboard chips from Motorola before going on the market. Otherwise, if our business is good and he will run out of stock for us, the loss will be too great."

Yul-Engel: "Boss, we have a procurement contract with them. They won't do such a thing that goes against business ethics!"

Bao Zixuan thought to himself, Yule Engel is really just a scholar. I don't know what many people in this world will do for profit, but he will not be so idealistic and put his fate on other companies.

Bao Zixuan: "Harmful actions are a must, but there are some things we have to guard against. It's better to be careful. Let's order 10 million motherboard chips first, and we can hold on for a long time even if he runs out of stock."

In fact, in the past life, many companies in the United States committed hooliganism in which they received deposits, did not deliver goods, and did not refund money. When the time comes, Bao Zixuan does not want this kind of thing to happen to him if he casually prevaricates with a crime of endangering national security.

Yule Engel still didn't understand the doorway here, so he could only choose to trust Bao Zixuan. Don't look at the age of the boss, but his business sense is very sensitive. He is not comparable to him as an engineer. At this time, it is better to listen to the boss.

Yul-Engel said embarrassedly: "Good boss, I know how to do it. But buying so many goods at one time will take up a lot of money. The money in the Heiyun mobile phone account is used for research and development, and there is not much money to buy at present. components.

No wonder Yule Engel is embarrassed. The sum of the money he has burned these days exceeds $100 million. If it was replaced by any boss, he would have been angry long ago, and he did not expect Bao Zixuan to care so much.

Even in Bell Labs, a major scientific research institution that takes scientific research as its primary goal, they did not invest such money. If Yule Engel really dared to spend such money, investors would probably have troubled him long ago. This is also the reason why the mobile phone project lags behind Motorola, otherwise his technical reserves are definitely earlier than Martin Cooper to develop the mobile phone.

Bao Zixuan: "Contact other companies in Heiyun immediately. We will first invest in large-scale signal towers in major cities in the United States. I know that these will be acquired by phone companies sooner or later, but now these companies will definitely not be for an invisible one. Project investment ~ www.readwn.com~ Then we will give priority to investment, and we can buy them or cooperate at that time, in short, we must not lose money.”

Juer-Engel: "What do we need to do, which cities to choose first."

Bao Zixuan: Calculate the coverage area and how many signal towers each city needs. For the first batch in the United States, we only selected six cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Detroit. In other places, after we generate benefits, there will naturally be companies negotiating with us for construction. In addition, Asia chose Hong Kong as the first pilot city, and the others will be decided after the phone is listed. The most important thing is to prepare the signal tower equipment, and other companies will definitely follow up and buy after seeing our benefits.

Bao Zixuan is going to release his mobile phone at the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, and the time can be said to be very urgent. Fortunately, we have already negotiated with these cities when we were preparing. Heiyun not only pays for the purchase of land and uses oil, but also increases urban employment. Moreover, in this era, mobile communication has not endangered national security. After all, in this world before no. The core technology is in the hands of Americans, and the motherboard chips are produced by American companies. This is the confidence of others, mastering the core technology is not afraid of what you will do.

Yule Engel: "Boss, if this is the case, we will need to invest about 200 million US dollars in the early stage to cover these cities."

In fact, this is one of the reasons why the early telephone charges are expensive, the initial investment is too large, and there are too few users. If you don't charge customers for phone calls, then please wait to lose money!

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I will invest 300 million US dollars in Heiyun Mobile Phone Company."

This means that the Blackstone Fund has made a lot of money, otherwise the cost of looking for ginseng can take away the black cloud cash flow.
