Chapter 408: Hook
After Huashang Daily, Yanjing Business Daily, and Economic Daily, many newspapers and media jumped out to make a fuss. They were not invited by Dongling Hi-Tech, but came out on their own. Just joining in the fun.
Influential domestic media such as Yangcheng Evening News, Southern Weekend, China Youth Daily, Industrial and Commercial News, Beiqing Daily, Hanxi Provincial Daily, etc. have reported one after another. There are also media outlets that have analyzed the future of PHS in a matter-of-fact way. The prospects in overseas markets have added fuel to the fire, exciting countless companies and making them red-eyed!
In the past, PHS was considered a non-mainstream communication technology. Many communication technology developers and mobile phone manufacturers around the world, including Juhua Factory, Ericsson, Nokia, etc., believed that Japanese mobile phone manufacturers were unwilling to develop PHS. No one expected that the mobile phone and PHS business that seemed to have no financial prospects could explode into such a large market.
“Dongli Hi-Tech announced this year’s revenue performance. Compared with last year, revenue increased by 78%, which is almost equivalent to doubling. It has also officially become the most profitable company in the domestic technology field.< br>
Today, media from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as media from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, have also reported on the PHS mobile phone. It is considered a miracle in the mobile phone industry. What do the two guests present today think of Mr. Li Dongling and PHS? ”
Compared to inland TV stations, coastal areas are in the midst of a wave of reform and economic level is soaring rapidly. In addition, they are adjacent to overseas, and the media in coastal areas are more focused on the economy and technology industry. .
As the hottest news at the end of the year, PHS has naturally become the focus of the media. An economic program on Guangdong TV Station discussed today’s PHS.
“We have to admit that Li Dongling, the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech, is the most visionary and courageous person in the domestic technology industry! ”
The guest sitting to the left of the host is Wu Gaofan, who holds the title of professor of the School of Electronic Information Engineering of a certain university. The predecessor of this major is the radio major.
The radio major is no longer popular. Nowadays, major universities in China have basically changed the name of the radio major to the electronic information engineering major.
TCL Boss Li, Skyworth Boss Huang, and the founders of Konka, including Li Dongling, all came from the radio major, which is now the electronic information engineering major.
At the beginning, Wu Gaofan praised Li Dongling, which was actually speaking out for the entire electronic information engineering profession.
“PHS technology did not just start to appear this year. Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company started research and development a few years ago, but there has been no mobile phone manufacturer willing to develop mobile phones with PHS technology standards. Donglin Hi-Tech became the first A pioneer introduced PHS technology into the country, and mobile phones really began to enter the hands of thousands of households!
To put it bluntly, from the 1980s, mobile phone products represented by Mobile Phones, The development in the past ten years after entering the country is not as big as the changes that PHS has brought to the domestic telecommunications and mobile phone industries in one year!”
After hearing Wu Gaofan's evaluation of PHS, the TV host asked him, "Professor Wu, do you think PHS is very important to the domestic communications market?"
"PHS will definitely be the next step. Within a few years, it will be the most important communication technology and mobile phone product in the domestic communication and mobile phone market!”
Wu Gaofan said with certainty, but before he could continue, he sat on the right side of the host, a professional in the communication technology industry! Another technical expert was reluctant after hearing that Wu Gaofan kept touting PHS.
“But PHS is a backward technology, it lags behind GSM and CDMA. After entering the 2G and 3G communication era in the future, PHS will definitely be the first communication technology to be eliminated!”
Zhong Chengdong I couldn't help but say, "Anyone who has used a GSM standard mobile phone will know the gap between GSM and PHS technology!"
"If now, the country is betting on PHS technology, then domestic communication technology is destined to lag behind overseas companies by one or even two generations!"
Zhong Chengdong almost complained about Wu Gaofan. This is to destroy domestic communications. Industry, the visible development potential of PHS technology, as well as call quality, call stability and other aspects are far inferior to GSM or CDMA. What is the purpose of spending so much money on research and development of a technology that is lagging behind and even destined to be eliminated?
"PHS technology is still developing. The Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company that developed PHS technology is still continuously improving this technology!"
After Wu Gaofan finished speaking, he also Some people feel guilty. Anyone related to the communications industry knows that a technology inherently has fatal shortcomings. No matter how it changes, the shortcomings will still exist.
Not to mention, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is famous for being a one-man food company. Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company is clinging to PHS technology and has been unwilling to let other companies intervene, even as the closest "closest" company to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company. Partners, including Tanglin Hi-tech and Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, which have made great contributions to the development of PHS, are also wary of intervening.
This makes the development of PHS technology not very good. The problems of poor signal and unstable signal still cannot be solved. However, the second generation communication technology mainly focused on GSM or CDMA, such as Internet access and other functions, PHS does not mention, making phone calls. The signal is not good, but you still want to surf the Internet? !
Currently, the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company has just begun the research and development of the second-generation PHS technology, preparing to improve stability and call quality, and add Internet functions.
After coughing, Wu Gaofan said, "But now, including in the next few years, PHS and PHS businesses are most suitable for the domestic market and conditions.
The technical costs of GSM or CDMA It’s too high, the cost of base stations is also high, and the price of mobile phones based on their standards is much more expensive than PHS!”
“But if it is just for immediate benefits, give up the development of GSM or CDMA technology! , I will regret it even more in the future!" Zhong Chengdong couldn't help but say.
Wu Gaofan was silent for a moment, "Maybe in the future, after GSM or CDMA technology matures, they will be popular in China, but now, it must be the era of PHS mobile phones!"
"The future must be GSM or CDMA technology. In this era, the rise of PHS was just an accident. When Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other manufacturers react, the sales of PHS worldwide will definitely fall next year!" Zhong Chengdong still "predicted" in the end. ......
In an office of Chrysanthemum Factory in Pengcheng, the conversation and argument between Wu Gaofan and Zhong Chengdong just now was shown on the TV. One of them was talking about the future, and the other was talking about In reality, only time can prove who is right and who is wrong.
“At present, more than a dozen manufacturers including ZTE, UTStarcom, BBK, Amoi, and Panda have obtained patent authorization from Dongling Hi-Tech, the parent company of PHS, to enter the PHS mobile phone market. It is expected to be launched next year. As more manufacturers enter the market, the global market size of PHS will further expand!”
But the host's last words made Boss Ren in the office, as well as Zheng Baoyong, Li Yinan and other Chrysanthemum Factory executives feel slightly silent.
Boss Ren previously decided not to allow Chrysanthemum Factory to enter the mobile phone industry. Now, Chrysanthemum Factory is working hard on GSM technology, but the progress is not great.
Research and development is too expensive. This is not a matter of will, and it is not a problem that can be solved by beating chicken blood. Chrysanthemum Factory makes a lot of money from switches, but it still feels that it is engaged in research and development of GSM communication equipment. Hard work.
It is not that easy to catch up with Nokia and Ericsson, the dominant players in GSM technology. Another point is that Juhua Factory has been frequently attacked when it wants to get orders for domestic GSM base stations.
Ericsson and Nokia are eyeing the Chrysanthemum Factory. As soon as the Chrysanthemum Factory launches a certain product, they will immediately cut the price. Even if they lose money, the Chrysanthemum Factory will not let the Chrysanthemum Factory take the order.
The technology on the other side is better than that of the Chrysanthemum Factory, and the products are sold cheaper than the Chrysanthemum Factory. How can it be possible for the Chrysanthemum Factory to grab the order? Even if it is the GSM base station order in its own hometown, Guangdong Province, the Chrysanthemum Factory cannot grab the order.
After one last look at the news on TV, I didn’t regret my decision not to enter the mobile phone market. Only the Chrysanthemum Factory knew it.
But Boss Ren knows that this is not the time to regret. There is no turning back. Now the Chrysanthemum Factory can only fight against GSM. Regardless of success or failure, it has to grit its teeth and carry on. If it retreats this time, then If the Chrysanthemum Factory encounters problems in the future, will everyone have to retreat?
This is like a person, a person who has lost his enterprising spirit and shrinks when encountering problems. Can he be expected to accomplish great things?
"Chrysanthemum Factory will continue to remain unchanged. No matter what, it will develop GSM communication equipment with the same technology as Nokia and Ericsson within the next few years!" Boss Ren encouraged his subordinates, "The future global communications industry , there must be a place for the Chrysanthemum Factory!”
...
“The sales volume of PHS mobile phones exceeded 10 million units?”
Niphon, Nakamura Nakamura, the president of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, after hearing about the sales volume of PHS, He couldn't help but smile.
The more PHS machines sold, the bigger the PHS market. Similarly, as the developer of PHS, the Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company became more famous and influential, and the more money it made.
“The founder of Tanglin Hi-tech should thank us, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company. Without us, he could have sold so many phones and become the fourth largest mobile phone shipper in the world?”< br>
Nakamura couldn't help but show off to his confidants and said that in his opinion, the reason why PHS sold so much was all because of his contribution.
"Unfortunately, PHS is not a product of our Japanese telephone and telegraph!"
In the end, Nakamura said with regret, if he could get PHS's mobile phone business and patents , then the Benzene Telephone and Telegraph Company will be able to dominate the global PHS market.
As for another company in Japan, Kyocera, there are some ups and downs.
“Our Kyocera is a company that developed PHS technology together with Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company. We were the first to develop PHS mobile phones, but now a mainland company has become the overlord of PHS mobile phones?”
Yasuo Nishiguchi, the head of Kyocera who had just succeeded Kazuo Inamori, asked Hideo Tanimoto, the head of Kyocera’s mobile phone department.
