Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Chapter 566 The Coming 1G Era

Sometimes this person can't save face too much, the pursuit of profit is the most important thing for a businessman.

What is a businessman?

Look at Li Chaoren's approach, he entered the village quietly, but was discovered by others, and he knew in his heart that he was no match for his master.

Ever since, Li Chaoren decisively threw the weapon in his hand to the charter king, and he took a piece of fat from the charter king and ran away.

This is businessman.

Because the charter king's lessons are ahead, and Li Chaoren's pearl is behind, Yang Chen feels that he can't fight against Jardine.

Even though Jardine has been in a financial shortfall, but he has not exhausted Jardine's last drop of blood, he is not going to confront a tiger that is too full.

If he has money, he has money, but there are more places where he needs to spend money, and it is not worth wasting it for no reason.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

He didn't think that after he defeated Jardine, other Huazi would watch him swallow the whole piece of fat.

You must know that the Jardine Consortium is comparable to HSBC, and its early strength is not comparable to that of HSBC. The number of companies under Jardine is huge, involving all walks of life in Hong Kong.

If it weren't for HSBC Bank's right to issue banknotes and its rapid growth in strength, the Jardine Consortium would never lag behind HSBC Bank in the rankings, ranking second.

However, the ranking belongs to the ranking. If you think that Jardine is not as good as HSBC, then you are wrong.

The most powerful people in this world are always those who hide under the darkness and are not known by people.

The market value of Jardine Group is indeed not as high as that of HSBC. Even if it is combined with Hongkong Land, it is not as good as HSBC, which is now spread all over Asia, Africa and Europe.

However, the holding companies under the Jardine Consortium involve many industries. Not to mention the early Wharf, the remaining milk international, cultural oriental, Jinmen Construction, Jardine Pacific, Jardine Motors, Xiangjiang Airlines, Huihui Kang Supermarket and so on are relatively famous in the early days.

There are as many as dozens of companies that are not very famous but affect all walks of life in Xiangjiang.

However, Yang Chen didn't care about those companies. He only focused on Heung Kong Telephone and Hong Kong Electric, which was about to be acquired by Jardine.

Among them, Xiangjiang Telephone, if it wasn't for the purpose of defrauding Jardine and making it a pillar of debt, Yang Chen would have bought it long ago.

As a reborn person, no one knows better than him what the future development of the telephone will look like. Who would have thought that decades later, the telephone will not only become a communication tool, but also become an inseparable life partner in people's daily life.

To a certain extent, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting is more important to Yang Chen than Carrefour. Although this thing will consume a huge amount of funds in the future, its benefits are unparalleled.

Like HK Electric, Heung Kong Telephone also has the exclusive right in Heung Kong Telephone, that is to say, once he acquires Heung Kong Telephone, he will have the final say on the entire Heung Kong Telecom business.

As for the British Dadong Telegraph Bureau, without Xiangjiang Electric, there is no way to get involved in Xiangjiang Communications business in the future.

In any industry, no matter how small it is, as long as it involves a monopoly, it will have unbelievable profits for ordinary people.

"The first thing you need to do next is to secretly absorb a little of the shares of Xiangjiang Telephone, as much as you have, but remember, you can't be discovered by others, and you will personally lead people to operate this matter."

"Xiangjiang Telephone" Zheng Haiquan glanced at Yang Chen, then nodded vigorously. Xiangjiang Telephone is a high-quality company. Although the market value is a bit higher, once it is controlled by Yang Chen, it will have a great impact on him personally. help.

Zheng Haiquan didn't know what Yang Chen's plan was. After all, in this era, the phone is still purely used to make and receive calls. For other purposes, if hitting people and knocking walnuts counts, its usefulness is really not small.

However, no matter how useful it is, it is impossible for people to be inseparable from it, and it is even more impossible for people to look up information on the Internet and watch short movies.

Nowadays, there are not many people who use mobile phones. The real commercialization of mobile phones will not be until two years later when Motorola's DynaTAC8000X portable mobile phone appears, and mobile phones will really enter the lives of rich people.

The history of mobile phones can be traced back to the 40s. The engineers of Galvin Company developed the SCR536 portable FM wireless walkie-talkie for the US Army.

That's right, the principle of the first generation of analog mobile phones, to put it bluntly, is to convert voice into FM radio through the chip and send it out.

Therefore, the confidentiality of analog mobile phones is actually very poor, and the signals sent by mobile phones can be received by FM radio stations, and it is not difficult to decipher them.

In the 70s and [-]s, under the huge demand of the police, taxi drivers and other industries, the car mobile phone market expanded rapidly in the United States.

And some international metropolises like Xiangjiang, Tokyo, London, etc. are also following the pace of the times, and many wealthy people also have this thing in their cars.

The big brother in Junzi's hand is the predecessor of Motorola DynaTAC8000X.

As early as [-], Martin Cooper, a senior engineer of Motorola, developed a prototype mobile phone based on a cellular mobile communication system on the basis of a car mobile phone.

However, due to excessive energy consumption, Motorola spent nearly ten years trying again and again, hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development, and finally made a major breakthrough in portability and low energy consumption, and successfully commercialized it.

The Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone, after installing the battery, can maintain a talk time of about half an hour, and the mobile phone in Yang Chen's hand has almost 25 minutes of talk time, which is infinitely close to Motorola's standard configuration.

Because it has not yet been commercialized, the mobile phone in Yang Chen's hands is as high as 8000 US dollars, which is seven times that of the Motorola DynaTAC[-]X mobile phone two years later.

The Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone was originally priced at US$3995, and the price in Hong Kong was as high as HK$3.

Although the price is high, it is not so unacceptable for Xiangjiang, a middle class with a large number of people.

Two years later, it is believed that the vast majority of film and television stars and high-paid white-collar workers in Xiangjiang will be able to own a mobile phone.

The 1G era is coming, and Heung Kong Telephone will play a big role at that time. As more and more people use it, the market value of Heung Kong Telephone will increase exponentially.

The early telephone bills were not cheap. Xiangjiang has enough middle class and is the best experimental field for developing communication. No matter how much he invested in the early days, he could still earn back from the little sheep.

The phone process has changed. Although he doesn't know the specific process very well, the mobile phones of later generations are all changing towards small and refined without exception.

He has personally experienced 3G and 4G. No one is more familiar with this than him. As for 1G and 2G, although he has never used it, but as the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run? .

In the early movies, Big Brother is the must-have artifact that big guys pretend to be. I believe everyone is familiar with it. Anyway, after decades of mobile phones, the smaller the better, and finally developed from buttons to full screen.

The mobile phone is getting smaller and smaller, Yang Chen guesses that after 7G and 8G, the mobile phone will be directly stuffed into people's heads, or turned into a pair of glasses, so that people can get rid of the bad habit of bowing their heads.

The Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone is an epoch-making product, which means that human beings have entered a new era in communication.

Hong Kong is one of the first regions in the world to build a mobile communication network, and the Xiangjiang Communication Network is fully controlled by the Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

Xiangjiang has a small area, and the communication network infrastructure will not cost much. As long as the Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone is released, Xiangjiang Telephone will become a golden hen that lays golden eggs.

At that time, under the virtuous circle, Heung Kong Telephone will be self-sufficient without investing much money.

After solving the issue of Xiangjiang's phone call, Yang Chen asked Zheng Haiquan again: "What do you think of Xiangjiang Electric?"

"Xiangjiang Electric?" Zheng Haiquan didn't expect that Yang Chen's thinking would jump so much. Just now he was asked to secretly buy Hongkong Telephone, and now he mentioned Xiangjiang Electric. Is this intended to let him buy the shares of Xiangjiang Electric at the same time?

"Boss, I heard rumors that Jardine is launching an acquisition of Xiangjiang Electric. I believe it will not be long before Xiangjiang Electric will fall into the hands of Jardine. Do we need it?"

Before Zheng Haiquan said anything, Yang Chen waved his hand and said: "No need for now, the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric is still falling, and now the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric is fluctuating, although the stock price of Hongkong Electric is falling slowly, it has never stopped .

Coupled with the series of de-industrialization of Heung Kong, it is strange that Hong Kong Electric’s stock price has not been cut in half. There is no rush for this matter. After Jardine Heung Kong’s acquisition of Heung Kong Telephone has cost a lot of money, it will not be too late for us to find an opportunity to acquire it. "

Hearing that Yang Chen was not going to buy Xiangjiang Electric Lamp immediately, Zheng Haiquan breathed a sigh of relief.

As the only two electric power companies in Hong Kong, the market value of Xiangjiang Electric is not low, with a market value of nearly [-] billion Hong Kong dollars. Anyone who wants to control it will need to spend a huge amount of money.
