Chapter 418 Make a phone call(1/2)
The latest commercial is playing on TV, and Motorola has launched its latest flip phone.
In the high-tech field of this era, one of the most prosperous companies is undoubtedly Motorola. Its final failure was that it failed to seize the trend of 3G, that is, the trend of digital mobile phones, and was too superstitious to the analog mobile phones of the past.
.
However, I can honestly say that Motorola's analog communication equipment is indeed top-notch, and it has almost reached its peak if it can achieve that level. Therefore, it was reluctant to give up the original market, resulting in ignoring the development of digital technology, and was eventually completely eliminated by companies such as Nokia.
This is just like Apple's smartphone era, when Nokia clung to the feature phone market and was ruthlessly eliminated.
Having said that, in this era, Motorola has a joint venture in China, so it basically dominates the domestic market. It has also produced many popular models, which will become the sentiment of many people in the future.
While feeding Qiqi and chewing deer steak, Gu Yuqin stared at the flip-top machine with a longing expression: "Yuanzi, should you change yours?"
Li Yuan glanced at the antique model and said, "Then I'll buy you one too!"
"This is not good!" Gu Yuqin was already grinning from ear to ear, "Can I use the one you replaced?"
"Give that to Lan Lan! Mom, do you want it? I'll buy one for you and Uncle Jiang each?"
Zhang Zhen covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't need it."
Ruzui looked at his silly girl with such a stern look - idiot, you know? Li Lanlan, whom he admired, was about to go bankrupt for the first time!
"You can launch it if you pay money? The key is that it's not practical." Zhang Zhen said happily, "It's like Wal-Mart in the United States! It's like we are preparing to launch eight satellites. They will be used for logistics management of our small stores.
Is it the same thing outside of you? Parabola is not going to become...a fresh food supermarket yet? Ahem."
According to Bertig, an engineer at Motorola at the time, it came from his wife’s complaint when she was on vacation in the Caribbean, saying that you can’t contact your customers with a mobile phone. Before returning home, Bertig and Motorola were working together in Arizona.
Two other engineers in the satellite communications group working in the state came up with an Iridium solution - a constellation of 77 low-Earth satellites that would allow users to make calls from anywhere in the world.
"Pfft——!" Zhang Zhen directly sprayed. Because when it comes to the famous Li Lanlan, in the recent domestic media, I really have limited fame, even far surpassing the "lying" Zhang Zhen
.
However, no one expected that due to the slow development of software and hardware, the cost of ground base stations would drop rapidly.
The reason why it is so eye-catching is not because Li Lanlan is also launching satellites - building the first low-rise giant building in China!
Is it a case of bankruptcy? Taking advantage of the good and the bad... Bah, bah, this is called giving timely help? And it can only harvest high-quality assets, and it can also make the girl of yours confused.
"Be good!" Zhang Zhen bit and sucked absentmindedly. The meat was so stewed that almost all of it rolled out of her mouth.
After a while, Li Lanlan received a call on the phone: "Are you bad, Mr. Li?"
No matter how Wang Youyu tried to cover it up, Zhang Zhen continued: "You are more optimistic about the future development of Giant. You buy 20% of the shares, and you lend him the up-front funds of Giant's building; you lend him the arrears; you lend him the company's
You can lend him working capital. Is that okay?"
As a result, the low investment, coupled with the low operating expenses, directly brought down Iridium. And the bankruptcy of Iridium caused Motorola to recover, and even caused that company to collapse.
Disappeared...
"Yes?" Li Lanlan admitted subconsciously, "Uh... yes... oh..."
"Yuanyuan, there are no shortcomings in this?"
It goes without saying that the concept of the Iridium satellite project is a revolutionary idea.
Did you find it? Come to Musk's Starlink system. The idea comes from outside. And it uses thousands or tens of thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites to provide full coverage of Blue Star.
How to make money from this?
"Hmph!" Zhang Zhen sneered, "Comrade Gu Yuqin, let him see with his own eyes your true strength, brother!"
Li Lanlan finally discovered the password to wealth throughout his life - advertising!
"Iridium system?"
"whispering sound!"
Shi Yuzhu curiously asked: "Yuanzi, that mobile phone is not broken? Apart from carrying it around with you, what is the use of a broken phone? Do you still need to find a signal?"
No one expected that Zhang Zhen would actually play it real?
As the competition in the IT software industry calmed down before, Li Lanlan promptly switched to selling health care products!
"But the fresh food supermarket is still open, right?"
In fact, when it comes to Li Lanlan, Zhang Zhen’s impression is quite bad. At least before I went bankrupt for the first time, I didn’t become a deadbeat, but quickly started a business again to pay off my debts.
For example, the worst-case first-generation programmer, what kind of health care products would he make?
You thought that Gu Yuqin was so stubborn. You raised your head and said, "No! No one is more famous than him now!"
It was introduced later that before Li Lanlan graduated from elementary school, he was assigned to the Bureau of Statistics. He saw that the computers purchased by the unit had been idle, and there were basically people using them. As a highly motivated elementary school student who had just started working, Li Lanlan developed a software that has been used for less than 20 years.
Statistical data of a year of work by a person, was completed in a few days with incorrect programming?
"Ah? So simple? Is this stealing money?"
"For example, when the most launched satellites are launched into the sky, there are only a few communication satellites orbiting the earth. In this way, there may be blind spots for satellite phones."
"Haha. This is an infrastructure problem. It would have been solved quickly in the past. And there is no satellite... Well, Motorola is using the Iridium satellite system now, right?"
"Don't worry! Do you have much money to give to them? Oh...except Li Yuan."
"Hey, you still look down on the others? You want to save face."
"You can earn face outside." Li Yuan said with a smile, "That's it, no one has any!"
"Oh? Haha, may I ask Sister Gu Yuqin, who is this person? Give him a name without knowing it? Hahaha!" What a joke. As the king of technology in the new era, doesn't anyone dare to challenge his position?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey! He is bad, please transfer them to Mr. Li Lanlan. You are the Zhang Zhen of the octagon."
"Ah? Launching satellites? Americans are too powerful, right?"
"Qinqin." Seeing that Shi Yuzhu had no particular interest in launching satellites, Zhang Zhen said with a smile, "If he really hates it, you could launch a few for fun in the past."
"Wow——!" Qiqi suddenly screamed. Why is the villain talking so much, and how come the fragrant deer steak is given to you?
Fortunately, after money tightened, Li Lanlan invented melatonin in time, which gave me a chance to make a comeback...
After all, Giant Group has a good reputation, and it is very convenient to check the company's contact information. After a few minutes, the person on duty gave the phone number...
Wang friends, we breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily we have to wait until now.
Wang Youyu made a proud face and shook his head at Zhang Zhen.
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"Okay, okay." Lan Lan still felt sorry for her boyfriend, "I'll give you this, you can play with it for a few days. I'll give it to Li Yuan in a few days."
Wang You: "..."
Before the Iridium satellite system was fully built, mobile phone systems were not yet cheap and high-quality, and the price/performance ratio far exceeded that of the Iridium satellite phone system.
"It's not about stealing money. It's just that you don't have to worry about it. If you find that the phone bill is the highest, they can just stop the business."
It was like the last few years of my career on the bench. Taking advantage of that free time, Li Lanlan went to the workplace to pick up girls and got a wife. But before I lost my family, I finally remembered that I needed to do a career.
Wang Youyu on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Mom, sister-in-law, do they still understand me? I have a guard under my lips, and I will release satellites whenever I brag. Hahahaha..."
To be honest, it must be because of Zhang Zhen's rebirth and cheating, and Li Lanlan's experience, which is also a cheating life.
The next scene should be unfamiliar to the newbies in the workplace. The leader criticized in a low voice during the meeting, and then... was kicked to a hot bench, and this program is still idle. (laughing and crying)
Lan Lan was shocked: "So expensive? Could it be cheaper?"
Qiqi's face was full of horror, and she stared blankly at the remaining bones outside her hand. In fact, the baby was really pretending to be the best? Why did he eat all the good daddy?
And the Iridium system was not even a few steps ahead! This turned into a desperate dash!
His big mouth flattened: "Wow——!" The person crying was heartbroken.
"Hahaha?"
"Why? Why are you using the old one?" Gu Yuqin was immediately happy. Everyone else has a flip phone, but you are the older model? Do you know that you are a delicate boy?
"Mr. Shi, just get straight to the point. Does he have a shortage of funds?"
In fact, when it comes to Motorola's Iridium satellite project, this is not a shedding of tears.
"Ah?" The men were surprised, "Can individuals launch satellites?"
But at that time, the Giant Group was preparing to build an 18-story headquarters building in Zhu City. I was deceived beforehand - he wanted to win glory for Zhu City and build the Giant Building into the lowest building in the country!
Give him another 30,000 square meters of land, half sold and half given away, to build a landmark building, support him no matter what he needs!
In the surprised eyes of the people around her, Zhang Zhen left the dining table and walked to the landline phone: "...Oh, he is on duty at the company today? Let me check for you, the phone number of Zhushi Giant Group. You want to call our boss
Li Lanlan!"
"Tell him! I am like the most - Li Lanlan!"
Wang You's eyes rolled around, he touched his chin and said "hehehe" and giggled.
Wang Youre smiled: "Huh, does he think it's cheap to make calls on a mobile phone? It costs several hundred dollars a month, so he owes it. Does he need to write an IOU?"
Using almost empty-handed tactics, Li Lanlan advertised in "Computer World" and also deceived computers. Then he developed the Giant Hanka. And all the money he earned was invested in advertising. By 1992,
The profit has not exceeded 30 million yet.
"How can mobile phone calls be so cheap?" Zhang Zhen said, "Not yet, there will be over-the-air code hijacking and no one will steal your phone calls."
