In his previous life, in 1985, Li Chaoren's Hutchison Telecom and Motorola launched a cellular mobile phone business in Xiangjiang.

At that time, they built a total of 28 radio towers to ensure the smooth flow of mobile phone signals.

But it is obvious that because the first generation of mobile phone signal sending and receiving towers are not so mature and not so powerful, even in some downtown areas, when more people use mobile phones, there will be a lack of signals.

Those who hold their mobile phones and shout "Hey Hey" loudly in an open place are not really pretending to compete, but the signal is really bad.

So Yin Jun absorbed these experiences.

After he bought radio signal transmission and reception technology from Ericsson, he immediately handed it over to the domestic radio department to start improving and enhancing signals.

China thinks it is a strong point in radio, which is why China's future wireless networks will far surpass the foundation of other countries.

If it weren’t for the accumulation of so many years, how could the 4G network era surpass that of foreign countries and directly realize the dream of overtaking on the curve?

Do you think development can be so good in one or two days?

After about a year of technical experiments and application, by the time the transmission tower was officially delivered to the Kirin Group in November, the intensity of the received and transmitted signals had increased by more than 5 times.

Even so, Yin Jun prepared 60 radio towers, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, and even remote places like Lantau Island and Lamma Island were arranged.

With such signal strength, the call effect of Kirin mobile phones is naturally much stronger than the first version in his previous life.

This is not because Yin Jun is wasting it, but because he regards Xiangjiang as an experimental base, and all kinds of data from the experiment can be used elsewhere in the future.

Therefore, such experiments do not have to care about the loss of money.

With the continuous release of advertisements, the construction and installation of radio towers, and the establishment and improvement of various service departments of Xiangjiang Telephone, more and more people are interested in Kirin mobile phones.

The advertisement has already stated that the release reservation will be officially accepted on January 1st.

Then, after the Spring Festival in February, the shipment will begin one after another.

This is not intended to make you happy, but the complete installation and debugging process takes time.

Including various sorting and training on Xiangjiang Telephone, it is also a very complicated matter.

If Yin Jun hadn't been rushing to start the title of the first commercial mobile phone before Motorola, it would actually be the best choice to release it again in February.

Even if I can only get my phone after the Spring Festival, a group of rich people in Xiangjiang, or those who yearn for a new life in the advertisement, still responded positively.

In ten days, the number of mobile phones booked exceeded 8,000.

By January 1, the number of people had exceeded 15,000.

Don't think that this number is too small.

Motorola's first commercial mobile phone, 8000x, is priced at $3,995, and one dollar per minute of a call.

According to the current exchange rate, it is 28,000 Hong Kong dollars per mobile phone and 7 Hong Kong dollars a minute of call.

Naturally, Yin Jun could not be so unscrupulous. After all, Xiangjiang is a test site, and the production cost of mobile phones is not that much.

If the various patent fees are not counted, the cost price of a Kirin mobile phone is about HK$800.

The reason why Motorola set such a high price is simply because it wants to regain the cost as soon as possible - at this time, they never thought that mobile phones could make so much money for them.

Of course, in addition to manufacturing costs and patent fees, there are also high operating costs, such as labor, launch towers, etc., all of which must be considered in the selling price and service fees.

The three major operators in China in later generations charged so much that most of them were actually paying for infrastructure.

Otherwise, there will be no signal in those remote third- and fourth-tier cities, villages, and surrounding mountains and rivers.

Why is the signal coverage of the United States far weaker than that of China?

Why does the signal suddenly become weaker when there are cities and densely populated areas?

Isn’t it because their operators will not set up a large number of signal base stations in unnecessary places?

They will not do anything without profit.

The three major operators in our country have this task and must do it.

From this point of view, it is inevitable that our country's national Internet era will be coming, surpassing other countries and becoming the world's number one.

After considering all the considerations, including summoning the senior management of Xiangjiang Telephone Operations, discussing more than ten times, Leyiling finally made the decision and set a suitable price.

A Kirin mobile phone costs HK$8888, and the basic monthly payment fee is HK$500. In addition, the call time is tentatively set at HK$1 per minute.

The price of mobile phones is definitely profitable.

However, according to the current base of 15,000 users, as long as a call is made for more than ten minutes in a row, the Xiangjiang Telephone Company will lose money. The longer the call is, the more you lose.

This decision was made by Leyi Ling.

She has served as the chairman of Xiangjiang Telephone and Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

In fact, as long as the senior management knows, the only one who benefits from this solution is Kirin Communications Company.

Because they are responsible for producing mobile phones, the price of 8888, even if the patent fees and other expenses are removed, is already more than 500% of the profit.

Xiangjiang Telephone Company has to bear the construction and maintenance costs of 60 radio towers, and is also responsible for all operating costs.

On the other hand, what did Xiangjiang Telephone Company get?

Just paying a fee of HK$500 per customer, you will have to lose money after a long call time.

So, Xiangjiang Telephone Company suffered a huge loss.

But they had no choice because this was an order given by the chairman. If anyone is unwilling to do it, then get out of here.

Don't doubt that Sister Le's title of Queen Le is not for nothing.

Her gentleness is only used on Yin Jun and her family, and she is very tough towards others.

And Le Yiling is not a random showdown.

At first glance, Xiangjiang Telephone Company is losing money, but who will not have a huge loss when implementing new technologies and models?

To put it simply, Coca-Cola's first-year sales result was only 25 bottles!

Speaking of Xiangjiang Telephone Company itself, when they first promoted home phones, they had experienced many years of losses, and it was only in the past ten years that they started to make profits?

If the mobile phone can develop well and the more people use it, the more money they will make.

According to the current price, as long as the number of people used exceeds 200,000, then Xiangjiang Telephone Company can break even.

If more than 300,000 people are, they will definitely make money.

With more than 500,000 people, this is a very profitable business.

If there are more than 1 million people using mobile phones, Xiangjiang Telephone Company will surely become one of the most profitable companies in Xiangjiang.

And Xiangjiang's mobile phone users will definitely exceed 1 million, which is Yin Jun's speculation.

"If anyone of you thinks that my Ajun's far-sightedness is insufficient, you can stand up and oppose it." Queen Le said at the time.

In fact, as soon as everyone heard that Yin Jun predicted that Xiangjiang mobile phone users would exceed 1 million, he had already agreed to take this risk.

Because Yin Jun has never failed.

Even Yin Jun has long said about the crisis of this real estate plunge, but people just don’t believe it.

Before Yin Jun failed, the people on Xiangjiang phone naturally had to believe Yin Jun.

There is no way if you don't believe it.

Although Xiangjiang Telephone Company is a listed company, the major shareholder has all the power.

Even if they make a fuss and make a big splash at the expanded shareholders' meeting, do you think those shareholders and shareholders believe in Yin Jun or them?

Who doesn’t know that you can eat meat with Yin Jun?

Kowloon Bus has borrowed billions of loans in the past few years, causing such a huge loss, but investors trust Yin Jun and hold on to the stocks in their hands.

How is the result?

This time, not many stocks were spared from this super stock market crash, but Kowloon Bus' stock did not fall much, but it only fell by about 20%.

Among all the stocks with the least decline, Kowloon Bus can rank in the top ten!

The reason is not simple. Yin Jun is the largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus. Another important reason is that the bus routes that Yin Jun decided to have now ended their losses and slowly entered a break-even period.

Once all the residents take over, the construction of houses and commercial facilities on the surrounding roads will be completed, and these buses will definitely become very busy routes, making money is natural.

With the encouragement of Kowloon Bus, the senior executives of Xiangjiang Telephone naturally felt that they could take a try.

Anyway, they have also tried the benefits of mobile phones.

Although the call effect is not as clear as the landline, it is convenient and fast, and you can find the benefits of people at any time, which can offset everything.

People in Xiangjiang pay great attention to timeliness when doing business.

Many businesses are time-consuming.

If they can save time and be one step ahead of others, someone will definitely be willing to buy a mobile phone to use.

Mobile phones are very expensive nowadays, the basic monthly fee is also expensive, and the call fee is also expensive.

But as more people use it, these costs will be reduced.

By that time, many white-collar workers will be able to use it.

Next, expand to the entire work group... Why should there be a 500,000 user group?

Thinking of such a bright future, the senior executives of Xiangjiang Telephone can only grit their teeth and persevere, hoping to see a bright future.

They only hope that Yin Jun will never expect to be wrong, otherwise the entire Xiangjiang phone will go bankrupt.

With the current market value of Xiangjiang Telephone and its profitability, a loss of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year will not last for a few years!
Chapter completed!
