Chapter 430 Good News
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
Today is January 3, 1979, an extremely ordinary day.
After Zhong Chuhong spent New Year's Day at the Su family villa, he hurried back to get busy with work.
Nowadays, Jiayi TV and Jiayi Film Company have no shortage of scripts for TV series and movies, so they are very busy.
It can be said that as long as Zhong Chuhong is willing, she can be elected as the heroine of these TV series and movies.
After all, Zhong Chuhong’s acting skills have conquered the producers and directors of Jiayi Company.
In addition, Su Cheng, the big boss behind the scenes, is also Zhong Chuhong’s real supporter. No one dares not to give Zhong Chuhong face, even the boss Liang Shuyi is no exception.
However, Zhong Chuhong is not that domineering. She knows that if she does this, she will definitely cause public outrage and become a thorn in the eyes of other actors.
Therefore, Zhong Chuhong has recently only selected two movies and one TV series to participate in, and the roles she selected are more suitable for her to participate.
Although it may seem like a small amount, she is actually very busy. Sometimes, when her acting schedules run into each other, she can only let another film make up for her scenes later.
So, one can imagine how busy Zhong Chuhong is.
After taking some time off, Sioux City received good news from Hutchison Telecommunications Company. Mobile phones were successfully tested at multiple test sites.
With the detailed information provided by Sioux City, Hutchison Telecom's laboratory research and development and manufacturing speed are very fast. In just two or three months, the key technology has been successfully conquered, and now it is even more The test was successful.
With such good news, Su Cheng was naturally very excited.
He has long been tired of the era without mobile phones. Sometimes when others want to contact him or he wants to contact others outside, he often cannot receive the call in time. It is really inconvenient.
Now, the test is successful, indicating that there are conditions for promotion.
The area of Xiangjiang itself is not that big. If we can take the lead in popularizing mobile phones in Xiangjiang, then the title of Xiangjiang City of Science and Technology will definitely be withheld.
After receiving the news, Su Cheng went out directly and rushed to the Hutchison Telecommunications Building in Causeway Bay.
When Su Cheng arrived at Hutchison Telecommunications Building, he found that Wei Li had already arrived earlier than him.
"Boss, let's go to the laboratory together." Weili said with a smile.
Weili is also very excited. This is the most important task for Hutchison Whampoa today. As long as mobile phones develop well, Hutchison Telecom's development prospects will be no worse than Oracle Computer Company.
With the detailed information provided by Sioux City, the research and development costs of Hutchison Telecom's laboratory are very low, so as long as it can be promoted, there is no need to worry about making money.
Moreover, if the mobile phone developed by Hutchison Telecommunications becomes the world's first officially commercial mobile phone, the reputation it will bring to it will be endless.
As for Motorola, although it had developed a mobile phone called DynaTAC as early as 1973, it had no real commercial use and it had no meaning.
It took 10 years for this "brick" to become a product, in April 1983. The model was "Motorola DynaTAC8000x", and the official name was "cell phone". It sold for US$4,000, and the battery lasted for 20 minutes of talk time. However, now the first truly commercial mobile phone is about to be won by Hutchison Telecommunications Company!
Once commercially successful and fully promoted in Hong Kong, this is an extremely meaningful thing.
"Okay!" Su Cheng nodded, and then the two of them took the elevator together and arrived at the laboratory of Hutchison Telecommunications Company.
"Boss, Mr. President Weili, good afternoon." Seeing Sioux City and Weili, Hutchison Telecommunications General Manager Langdon Moore quickly came over to greet them.
"Where's the finished product?" Su Cheng asked very directly after nodding.
"Boss, I'll bring it to you right away!" After Langdon Moore said that, he walked to a display cabinet in the laboratory, took a telephone smaller than a brick from it, and handed it to Gave it to Sioux City.
Su Cheng looked at this mobile phone carefully. It was not much different from the Big Brother in the Chinese and Hong Kong dramas he remembered.
“Can I make a call here?” Su Cheng asked.
“Boss, it’s okay. We have set up several test points for cellular mobile communication systems in Xiangjiang. The signal tower of one of the test points is built on the roof of our building. Look, your hand The mobile phone on the phone has a small green light on. This small light shows whether there is a signal. If there is a signal, it will show green. If there is no signal, it will show red." Landon Moore said carefully. Introduce it to Su Cheng.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Su Cheng couldn't wait to experience the convenience of mobile phones.
After thinking about it, he had a goal.
Press a phone number directly on your mobile phone.
Less than five seconds later, the call was connected.
“Hi, hello, I’m Maliho.”
Yes, Su Cheng called Mailihao.
Hutchison Telecom has now developed mobile phones and cellular mobile communication systems. The next thing to do is to promote them throughout Hong Kong.
If you want to promote it in Xiangjiang, you must first get the support of the Xiangjiang government. Otherwise, it will not be promoted at all.
"Mr. Governor, it's me, Su Cheng." Su Cheng responded.
"It turns out to be Mr. Su Cheng. I wonder if you called me for something?" Mailihao asked curiously.
"I wonder if Mr. Governor is free now? I would like to invite you to come to Causeway Bay. There is something very meaningful that I hope you can participate in witnessing. Its birth will take the technological civilization of the human world a step further! "Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Where is Causeway Bay? Wait for me for half an hour, and I will move on to the work at hand first." Mailihao suddenly became curious when he heard what Su Cheng said so awesomely.
"Okay, Mr. Governor, I'll wait for you!" After Su Cheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"What are the results of the test, and how is the stability? How much coverage does a signal tower have?" After handing the mobile phone to Wei Li, who also wanted to try making calls, Su Cheng asked Langdon Moore asked.
“Our official test has actually been carried out for more than half a month. During this period, we made adjustments and corrections while testing. Now, after a long period of testing, our test results have been obtained. As long as Within the unobstructed coverage of the signal tower, the signal coverage can reach about 1,000 meters. If you are in a sheltered place such as a house, the signal coverage can only reach about 500 meters. If you go outside, the signal will basically be unstable! " Langdon! Moore replied.
