Chapter 209 Rumor
The international news reported by the central media, 30,000 PHS mobile phones were sold in a single day, may be an insignificant piece of news to uninformed people in China. I didn't care after seeing it.
But for companies in the domestic telecommunications and mobile phone industries, it has really made waves. The previously criticized PHS technology has begun to be commercialized, and it seems to be performing well in Japan. This means that PHS seems to have also It's not all bad.
You must know that Japan is now a developed country in Asia and the second largest economy in the world. Its economic volume has reached 5.45 trillion US dollars, which is larger than the combined economies of the three European giants, Germany, England and France. The size is still large.
It is only two trillion US dollars away from America's US$7.64 trillion. This does not seem to be an insurmountable gap. Japan's benzene clamored to buy America a few years ago, and it was not empty talk.
A few years ago, America cut off Japan's benzene, and Japan's real estate bubble was also punctured. However, in the eyes of countless people, Japan's economy is still the most developed region in Asia. Japanese people are engaged in PHS and PDC in the telecommunications industry. The technical standards are competitive with America's CDMA and Europe's GSM, but it is not an understatement. At this time, Japan's benzene has this qualification.
The current telecommunications level in Asia and most other parts of the world is far inferior to that of Japan and Japan. If PHS can become popular in Japan, can it also become popular in other places? !
Seeing that it has been discussed a lot by the outside world, it seems that there are flaws everywhere. After the PHS of GSM and CDMA is commercialized, it seems to be very popular in Japan, which has attracted the attention of the domestic telecommunications industry.
Among them, the previous dispute between Tanglin Hi-tech and Benzene Telephone and Telegraph Company also played a crucial role. If it were not for the previous lawsuit, Tanglin Hi-Tech would not have obtained the patent and technology authorization from PHS. This will estimate that the domestic telecommunications industry will not have any thoughts.
Nissan Corporation is well-known for being a one-man shop. Things like plasma TVs, hydrogen energy vehicles, and robotics industries were all started by Nippon Benzene, and they relied on patents and technology to monopolize the entire upstream and downstream industries. There is absolutely no room for other companies to intervene, and they want to take all the profits.
As a result, other companies bypassed the track dominated by Nippon Benzene and started to start a new business, excluding Nippon Benzene.
PHS technology is a bit special. Tanglin High-Tech has intervened to create obstacles for the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan and Japan do not want to promote PHS. Develop a new Japanese PDC telecommunications standard.
Isolated and helpless, Nakamura Nakamura lowered his profile and used the method of licensing patents and technologies to attract Donglin Hi-Tech to join PHS. This is very similar to Samsung and SK Telecom, which were led by Qualcomm to join CDMA.
Nowadays, PHS is becoming popular in Japan, and Tanglin Hi-Tech also has PHS patents and technologies. This makes the domestic telecommunications industry inevitably wonder, can PHS set off a craze in the country?
For domestic mobile phone manufacturers, or manufacturers of pagers and mobile phones, they are focused on PHS mobile phones.
In the past few years, there have been rumors that mobile phones will replace pagers and mobile phones, because the functions of mobile phones far exceed those of pagers. This is nothing new.
But the domestic manufacturers of pagers and mobile phones do not take it seriously. Don’t they know how good mobile phone technology is? Mobile phones can make calls and send text messages. When the mobile phone rings, it still has ringtones. However, How much does a mobile phone cost? It costs at least eight to nine thousand yuan. Besides, if you can grit your teeth to buy a mobile phone, can you afford to keep it? !
Let’s not talk about it for now. When you buy a mobile phone, you also have to pay for the Internet connection fee, monthly rental fee, and pre-stored phone fee. Whether you make a call or receive a call, there are two-way charges. A text message costs 10 cents, and it is now sold in China. For mobile phones, the operation interface is still in English, and text messages do not support Chinese, which naturally isolates a large number of users.
If you use a mobile phone, the phone bill plus text messages will cost you three to five hundred yuan a month, or even a few thousand yuan more. How many families can afford a mobile phone?
In contrast, although the function of pagers is not as good as that of mobile phones, they can still receive information. Moreover, the price of pagers has been driven down by domestic pager manufacturers such as Bird. The price of pagers has now dropped below a thousand yuan.
Originally, pagers did not need to worry about the threat of mobile phones, at least for a short period of time, but this time, the PHS mobile phone issued by Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company gave domestic pager companies a sense of crisis.
In the Bird Company, which is currently the largest pager production base in China and sold more than 300,000 units last year, the atmosphere is very solemn at the moment.
“Have the charges for PHS mobile phones really dropped in Japan?” Xu Lihua, the founder of Bird, asked Pu Jie, Xu Xiguang, and Sui Bo, the other three of the Four Elites of Bird.
Board, which has not yet become a fighter in mobile phones, is busy producing Chinese pagers, and in just a few years, it has become the second largest pager in the country after Motorola Machine manufacturer.
Now, what Bird is doing is to impact the status of the largest pager manufacturer in the country. It wants to surpass Motorola and sit on the throne of the largest pager manufacturer in the country.
Xu Lihua is a person with outstanding vision and action ability. He was able to focus on pagers back then, and he dared to develop Chinese pagers when Motorola dominated the domestic pager industry. This is enough to show his vision and courage. .
Although Bird's focus is still on pagers, Xu Lihua often keeps an eye on the latest electronics industry trends in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. He regards Hong Kong and Japan as As a weathervane in the electronics industry, anything that becomes popular over there will definitely be introduced to China.
"No news has come through yet. We have contacted a person studying in Japan and Ben through channels and asked him to help find out about the status of PHS mobile phones in Japan."
The one who spoke Pu Jie, general manager of Bird and another founder of Bird, looked at Xu Lihua who looked worried and said, "Japan is different from China. It is a developed country. Even if there are PHS mobile phones and phone charges, It’s so cheap that we can’t afford it at home!”
This is true, but Xu Lihua is still worried, "Niben Telephone and Telegraph Company has previously reached a cooperation agreement with Hanxi Dongling Hi-tech. Dongling Hi-tech will promote PHS technology in the country. Now the PHS base station is in Hanxi Provincial City. , Pingyang and other places. If PHS really takes off in China, I am afraid that the pager industry will undergo drastic changes."
After hearing Xu Lihua's words, Pu Jie, Xu Xiguang, Sui Bo and others also started talking! One after another, at this moment, the phone on Xu Lihua's desk rang. After the call was connected, Xu Lihua heard that the other party claimed to be a person from Mingzhou Post and Telecommunications.
“You said that PHS mobile phones are produced by Dongling Hi-Tech?!”
When Xu Lihua heard the news, he was stunned, and the rest of Pu Jie Others are not much better. The impact of this news is really too great.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lihua and Pu Jie looked at each other, and there was a look of confusion in their eyes. If the PHS mobile phone was really produced by Tangling Hi-tech, and Dongling Hi-tech still had a PHS phone. Patents and technology, what this means is self-evident. The road to localization of PHS has been completely opened!
"The PHS mobile phone produced by Donglin High-tech and sold by Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is currently selling well in Nippon. The sales volume on the first day has exceeded 30,000 units, generating foreign exchange of 1.5 billion yen.
Dongguan Dongling Hi-tech has received a new order of 100,000 units from Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, with a total value of nearly 5 billion yen, or about 500 million yuan!”
The PHS mobile phone is produced by Dongling Hi-Tech! , it was not a secret, and Tanglin Hi-Tech had no intention of hiding anything. The next day, "Science and Technology Daily" reported on the front page the news that PHS mobile phones were exporting benzene to Japan. This report actually revealed that PHS Domestic pricing.
Subsequently, the Industrial and Commercial News, China Youth Daily, China Post and Telecommunications News and other major media reported on the situation one after another. After seeing the reports of these media, anyone with a keen sense of smell can feel that something is about to happen in the domestic telecommunications industry. Big deal.
