Chapter 564 Compact Cell Phone
Han Xuan heard Dawson say that the Shanghai market government agreed to divide 1 million square meters, but it was still close to the golden land on the Huangpu River for his home, and he immediately wanted to laugh out loud. ∽↗∽↗,
Understanding the comprehensive building complex plan proposed earlier, similar to the Rockefeller Center Building, finally touched them.
The Shanghai Municipal Government really wants a landmark building to prove itself now. The benefits it has given to Japan are unimaginable. It is just like giving it for free.
Even so, Nippon Mori Building Co., Ltd. was still reluctant to build it, thinking that it had no investment value and was simply hoarding land and planning to dig a foundation and then starting construction.
The Global Financial Center Building was built in 1997 to 2008 in the previous life. During this period, it was suspended for several years due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis.
The senior executives of the Central China Central Committee have just had contact with the old man and sold the land to Han Xuan, which will bring such a large investment.
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible, and there is no reason to strand this plan.
I believe that in the near future, a Han Central Building complex located in Lujiazui will be built by the Huangpu River.
Nowadays, the labor cost in China is like cabbage. The longer it is, the higher the cost, so Han Xuan will naturally not waste such opportunities.
He is about to have a large amount of cash to spend, and his talent reserves cannot keep up. Xueshan Investment Company has fallen into a temporary bottleneck period and cannot continue to acquire companies. He has to digest them first.
He continued: "Help me contact S Architectural Design Office and ask them to send someone to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for on-site inspections, and come to me again at that time.
If I can satisfy me, I will make this order for them to do.
The development plan on Jeju Island will be temporarily suspended and all projects will be completed in three phases.
Let’s investigate the number of tourists and consumption levels that have been visited by Jeju Island this year, so that we can make a detailed plan.
Construction will start in the first phase, and other projects will be developed, and the Jeju Island tourism market will be positioned as a medium- and high-end resort.
In addition, build some single-family villas for rent, and leave me a building close to the beach, so I will find a construction team in the local area."
Dawson wrote down this incident and noticed that someone patted him on the shoulder.
Turning back, seeing it was Anthony, he smiled: "Hello, Mr. Anthony, is this Professor Christopher?
Hope Technology has been so popular recently. When I was in Korea, people from Hyundai Investment Trust asked me if I needed financing.”
Christopher used to do research every day and was not very adaptable to dealing with interpersonal relationships. When he heard this, he kept giggling.
I helped introduce the old man in his fifties who had gained weight and blushing face next to me, and said, "This is Charlie Fres. It's not all my credit for Hope Technology to become like this. He has helped me a lot.
In the past, I had to deal with the company's affairs, but now I just need to be responsible for research and I can devote all my energy to developing products."
Charlie Fres is the supervisor Anthony personally poached from ibm. He not only has an understanding of the Internet industry, but also has a master's degree in the Department of Financial Management at Oxford Brooks University, and has served as om (operation manager) for 17 years at ibm.
Han Xuan’s requirement for him was to give him whatever the R&D department needed, and help coordinate the relationship between various departments and handle all trivial matters except development, such as employee salary, attendance, etc., now Charlie is responsible for it.
Old Chali has rich management experience and is cautious and steady. He is most suitable for being a Hope Technology company EO. After two months, the company has been initially rectified.
Charlie reached out to hold Han Xuan and Dawson, pointed to the wall of money, and joked:
"That light almost blinded my eyes. There should be part of me inside, right?
I had expected that I had already brought my bag, but now it seems that the briefcase is too small and I should bring a mountaineering bag over."
"Haha, of course, some of you are there, and everyone present is there.
Please go there and sit there, it will start soon, and the people below are already impatiently waiting."
Han Xuan waved to a waiter, "Please make a pot of black tea for me."
"When they see the money, they will find that the waiting is worth it!" Anthony was very excited today and said with a laugh.
Since its establishment in August, Snow Mountain Investment Company has hardly had much rest during this period.
At this time, I saw the crowds of people downstairs and suddenly realized that the company was so big, and I was sincerely happy.
Seeing the boss busy talking to Christopher, I originally wanted to tell him about the situation in Mexico recently, but now I have to talk about it later.
Han Xuan sat cross-legged.
Open the white box that Christopher gave him, the packaging was particularly simple, with only the strip on the front under the light, shining with five-clawed golden dragon, and it feels like a metallic texture when touched with your hands.
The body of the Huaxia Dragon totem is curved into a wavy shape, which is a kind of dynamic feeling. This is a trademark that distinguishes it from the cartoon Western Dragon of Sos Group and Hoops Company.
Opening the lid, a "small" mobile phone appeared in front of you. It looked a little curved from the side, and the shape was not so square. It felt comfortable to hold it with one hand. The shell was made of white plastic, and there was also a small golden dragon on the back cover.
Han Xuan took the phone in his hand and weighed it, and then asked Jason to bring his old phone. The two were put together, and he felt like he was thrown away with goods.
"Very great! Those twenty or so industrial product designers did not invite them in vain, and the packaging designers also looked very good. Christopher, how heavy is it?"
"Part wise, it's only 491 grams.
By the way, boss, those people from the Hardware Engineering Department, let me remind you to fulfill your previous agreement with them.”
"What agreement?"
Han Xuan had just said the subconscious words, and immediately thought of what he had promised them before, "Don't worry, for every 30 grams of reduction, you will be given one million dollars.
The three million dollar bonus will definitely be given to them, Mr. Charlie, please help me arrange it and send it to their account with the salary before the New Year.
Ordinary employees are divided equally, and the supervisors among the researchers get more points according to their administrative level.”
"Okay, I understand." Charlie immediately walked to the window and started calling to arrange for someone to do it.
Han Xuan lowered his head and removed the back case of the old phone, pulled out the card, and put it into the new phone. After pressing the boot button, the black and white screen illuminated.
It took more than a minute to display the home page, and the clock was marked at 0:00 on December 17, 1994. This is the date of the phone's shipment, which means it was just made six days ago.
Major telecom operators in the United States have started to use GSM network calls in the past few years.
Han Xuan's card is also using this kind of network to find the information bar that he hasn't missed for a long time. All numbers are in his mind, but their mobile phones do not have the function of receiving information.
Christopher understood what the boss meant, and took out the same phone from his bulging suit pocket, but the color was black, and said, "Try sending me the message, my phone can receive messages."
Jason stared at his phone in a daze, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, which meant that the phone could be put in his pocket!
Although it's not very beautiful and it's a big deal, it can be put in
Han Xuan was not suitable for typing on mobile phones, so he only posted a simple "hi".
In less than three seconds, Christopher's phone rang twice. After pressing and checking, he read the message he received to Han Xuan: "Hi, you're sending Hi, right?"
So excited that I'm going crazy!
The people from the Hardware Engineering Department bought all the mobile phone series on the market in five years and dismantled them and studied them all.
The cost alone is more than $4 million. They are only responsible for dismantling and not installing, and all of the mobile phones are scrapped.
In addition, the accessories specially customized from other companies are extremely expensive, and the total investment is silently more than ten million US dollars!
If Hope Technology had not had a ready-made software engineer and helped create programs, the cost would have been higher, and now it has finally achieved results!
The research and development of mobile phones is not just a simple imitation of other companies. With the current mature mobile phone manufacturing technology, some small factories invested about one million US dollars and dared to say that they made mobile phones, but they could not make such mobile phones as Han Xuan.
In terms of appearance, this mobile phone has surpassed existing products such as Motorola and Nokia, but most of the internal technology depends on buying, not independently developed.
Anya had just bought a mobile phone. When she saw this in Han Xuan's hand, she regretted buying it too early. She asked curiously: "What did you do in your company?"
"Well, what about the product I just designed?"
“It’s pretty.”
"I'll give you one when it's officially produced. I won't have to backpack when I go out with my phone. I'll find a rope to hang it around my neck."
Han Xuan rubbed her head, but was slapped by Anya and smiled at Christopher: "How is the technical authorization done?"
He is just getting used to asking, and this matter is no longer under his control.
Lao Chali Interface replied: "It is being discussed with the company that owns the technical patent used by this phone. They are asking for patent licensing very high and are still in negotiations.
It is estimated that the talks will not be completed after Christmas. Now those companies are about to go on vacation, so there should be no big problem."
"We have kept the news of the mobile phone production confidentiality within the company first and can't tell anyone.
When discussing with those companies, don’t calculate based on sales volume. You would rather give more money and directly buy out the permanent use rights of these patents.
Mr. Charlie, next year, allocate more money to the hardware engineering department to strive to develop our own patents. Send text information patents to make a lot of money, and it is still enough to sit at home to collect money.
The phone is still too big, I want it to be smaller, at least put in your pocket, but it doesn't get in the way.
Still as agreed before, I will give them one million dollars for every 30 grams reduction.
For production lines and factory matters, make a secret plan first. As long as you get the patent usage rights, you will immediately release the news and officially start production."
Charlie nodded. He knew what Han Xuan meant. He was afraid that those old mobile phone manufacturers would take the opportunity to increase the price of patent use rights after getting the news, or directly not allow their patents.
As long as one or two of the most critical technologies are stuck, hope technology will still be killed unless it can be bypassed.
Not only will the cost be high, but it may fail.
Han Xuan pressed the old man's number based on his memory and put his phone in his ear. The connection was turned on, but he couldn't hear the other party's voice clearly.
Just as he was surprised, Christopher signaled him to pull out the antenna above, and the ancient aura came to his face, it was only 1994...
Mr. Han thought his grandson was urging him to come to New York to gather with Han Xuan on Christmas tomorrow.
“It’s about to arrive, I just got off the plane.
There was a lot of traffic jam on the road, so I guess I'd have to wait a little longer."
"Oh, I have time to buy a helicopter and put it in New York, where traffic is often paralyzed."
Han Xuan said in accordance with grandpa's words.
Compared with the previous mobile phone call quality, the external antenna mobile phone of my company has significantly improved. I don’t have to call and look for signals everywhere.
Seeing Dawson reminding himself to look at his watch, Han Xuan raised his wrist and it was already six forty. It was almost dark outside, and neon billboards were lit in the tall buildings in the distance.
After looking at the venue, the chairs were completely prepared, and waved his hand to tell Jason that he could let those people in.
Jason picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered a few words.
Chapter completed!
