Chapter 211

The international news reported by CCTV, the Xiaolingtong mobile phone sold 30,000 units in a single day, for people in the country who don't know, this may be just an irrelevant piece of news, and they don't care after reading it.

But for companies in the domestic telecommunications and mobile phone industry, it really set off waves. The PHS technology that was previously criticized has begun to be commercialized, and it seems to be performing quite well in Japan. This represents that PHS does not seem to be useless.

You must know that Japan at this moment is a developed country in Asia and the second largest economy in the world. Its economic volume reached 5.45 trillion US dollars, which is larger than the economic volume of the European three heroes, Germany, England, and France combined.

The distance to the United States' 7.64 trillion US dollars is only 2 trillion US dollars. This looks like it is not an insurmountable chasm. A few years ago, Japan clamored to buy the United States, which was not empty talk.

A few years ago, the United States harvested Japan's leeks, and Japan's real estate bubble was also pierced, but in the eyes of countless people, Japan is still the most developed region in Asia. Japanese people engaged in PHS and PDC technology standards in the telecommunications industry to challenge the CDMA of the United States and the GSM of Europe, which was not self-deprecating. Japan at this time has this qualification.

The telecommunications level in Asia and most parts of the world is still far behind Japan. PHS can be popular in Japan, so can it be popular in other places?!

Seeing that PHS, which was previously discussed by the outside world and seemed to be full of flaws and could not compare to GSM and CDMA, was commercialized and seemed to be very popular in Japan, it attracted the attention of the domestic telecommunications industry.

Among them, the previous entanglement between Dongling Gao Ke and the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company also played a crucial role. If there was no previous lawsuit and Dongling Gao Ke did not get the patent and technology authorization of PHS, then I guess the domestic telecommunications industry would not have any thoughts.

Japanese companies are famous for eating alone, such as plasma TVs, hydrogen energy vehicles, robot industry, etc., which are all first started by Japanese companies, and rely on patents and technology to monopolize the entire upstream and downstream, and simply do not give other companies room to intervene, wanting to eat all profits into their stomachs.

The result is that other companies bypassed the track held by Japanese companies and began to set up another stove, excluding Japanese companies.

PHS technology is special. It was Dongling Gao Ke who intervened to add blockages to the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company. In addition, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications also did not want to push PHS, wanting to engage in a new Japanese PDC telecommunications standard.

Isolated and helpless, Nakamura Takeo put down his posture and used the method of authorizing patents and technology to pull Dongling Gao Ke into the PHS, which is very similar to Qualcomm pulling South Korea's Samsung and SK Telecom into CDMA.

Now, PHS has a trend of being popular in Japan, and Dongling Gao Ke also has PHS patents and technology, which makes the domestic telecommunications industry inevitably have thoughts. Can PHS set off a frenzy in the country?

For domestic mobile phones, or manufacturers producing pagers and big brothers, they are concerned about the Xiaolingtong mobile phone.

In the past few years, there have been rumors that mobile phones will replace pagers and big brothers, because the functions of mobile phones far exceed pagers, which has long been not fresh news.

But domestic pager and big brother manufacturers didn't take it seriously. Don't they know that mobile phone technology is good? Mobile phones can make calls and send SMS, and mobile phones have ringtones when they ring, but how much is a mobile phone? At least eight or nine thousand yuan. Besides, can you afford it?!

Not to mention, after buying a mobile phone, you have to handle network access fees, monthly rent fees, and pre-deposit call charges. Whether you answer or make a call, it is double-charged. One SMS is one dime, and the mobile phones sold in the country now have English operating interfaces, and SMS does not support Chinese, which naturally isolates a large wave of users.

If you use a mobile phone, the cost of call charges plus SMS, the cost of a month, the low is three or five hundred yuan, and the high is thousands of yuan. How many families can afford a mobile phone?

In contrast, although the functions of pagers are not as good as mobile phones, they can also receive information, and now the price of pagers has been beaten down by a group of domestic pager manufacturers such as Bird. The price of a pager has now fallen to less than one thousand yuan.

Originally, pagers didn't need to worry about the threat of mobile phones, at least in the short term. But this time, the Xiaolingtong mobile phone issued by the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company made domestic pager companies feel a sense of crisis.

Currently, the largest pager production base in the country, the Bird company, which sold more than 300,000 units last year, has a very heavy atmosphere at this moment.

"In Japan, has the cost of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone really dropped?!"

Bird founder Xu Lihua asked the other three of the four heroes of Bird, Pu Jie, Xu Xiguang, and Sui Bo.

Bird is not yet the fighter in mobile phones, and is busy producing Chinese pagers, and it took only a few years to become the second largest pager manufacturer in the country after Motorola.

Now Bird is doing is to impact the status of the largest pager manufacturer in the country, wanting to surpass Motorola and sit on the throne of the largest pager in the country.

Xu Lihua is a person with outstanding vision and action. Being able to stare at pagers and daring to develop Chinese pagers under the situation that Motorola dominates the domestic pager industry is enough to explain his vision and courage.

Although now, Bird's focus is still on pagers, Xu Lihua also often stares at the latest market conditions of the electronic industry in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. He regards Hong Kong and Japan as the wind vane of the electronic industry. Things that become popular there will definitely spread to the country.

"There is no news yet. We contacted a person studying in Japan through channels and asked him to help find out the situation of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone in Japan."

The person who spoke was the general manager of Bird and another founder, Pu Jie. He looked at Xu Lihua, who had a worried look, and said, "Japan is different from the country. It is a developed country. Even if the Xiaolingtong mobile phone and telephone charges are cheap there, the country cannot afford it!"

That's what it said, but Xu Lihua was still uneasy, "The Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company reached a cooperation agreement with Hanxi Dongling Gao Ke before. Dongling Gao Ke is promoting PHS technology in the country. Now PHS base stations are being laid in Hanxi provincial capital, Pingyang, etc. If PHS really rises in the country, I am afraid that the pager industry will undergo drastic changes!"

Hearing Xu Lihua's words, for a time, Pu Jie, Xu Xiguang, Sui Bo, and others were also discussing. Just then, the phone on Xu Lihua's desk rang. After connecting, Xu Lihua heard the other party claim to be a person from Mingzhou Post and Telecommunications.

"You said, the Xiaolingtong mobile phone is produced by Dongling Gao Ke?!"

When Xu Lihua heard this news, the whole person was stunned there. The rest of Pu Jie and others were not much better. The impact of this news was really too great.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lihua and Pu Jie looked at each other, and a sense of confusion appeared in their eyes. If the Xiaolingtong mobile phone is produced by Dongling Gao Ke, and Dongling Gao Ke also has PHS patents and technology, what this means is self-evident. The road to domestic PHS has been completely opened!

"The Xiaolingtong mobile phone produced by Dongling Gao Ke is popular in Japan. The first-day sales exceeded 30,000 units, creating 1.5 billion yen in foreign exchange.

Dongling Gao Ke received a new order of 100,000 units from the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, with a total value of nearly 5 billion yen, which is about 500 million yuan!"

The Xiaolingtong mobile phone is produced by Dongling Gao Ke, which is not a secret, and Dongling Gao Ke does not mean to hide anything. The next day, "Science and Technology Daily" reported the news of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone export to Japan on the front page. This report also revealed the pricing of the Xiaolingtong in the country.

Subsequently, a group of major media such as Industrial and Commercial News, China Youth Daily, and Post and Telecommunications News all reported one after another. Seeing the reports of these media, people with sensitive sense of smell can feel that the domestic telecommunications industry is afraid that something big will happen.
