Chapter 433 Gift Giving
"Mr. Governor, would you like to visit our laboratory?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"What an honor!" the Governor responded.
Then the four of them visited the entire laboratory at Hutchison Telecom’s headquarters.
Today, more than half of the entire Hutchison Telecommunications Building has been turned into a research and development laboratory.
There are also more and more R&D experts, technicians, etc.
These days, Hutchison Telecom’s recruitment has never stopped.
The company's goal is to find talents in companies related to the communications industry such as Motorola, Bell Labs, Nokia, and Siemens.
"Mr. Wei Li, I wonder how long it will take if we want to cover mobile signals in the center of Xiangjiang as soon as possible with the strong support of the government?" While listening to the technician's explanation, Mai Li Hao asked Wei Li beside him.
The more he learned about this new mobile phone, the more he hoped to use it as soon as possible.
By then, he will be very impressive in front of other governors.
After all, even London, the capital of the United Kingdom, does not have access to mobile phones, but Xiangjiang was the first to use it.
This is something worth showing off.
"Mr. Governor, we already have a layout plan. We are currently planning to do it step by step, such as Central, Causeway Bay, and North Point on Xiangjiang Island, and Ma Yau Tei, Mong Kok, and Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula. It does not take too long to build coverage for the first batch of signal towers.
Because we have already deployed a signal tower in each of these places for previous tests, it will only take a month. In time, we can achieve cellular telecommunication signal coverage in these places by deploying more signal towers.
As for covering the entire city of Xiangjiang, it will take about half a year. "Weili often comes to Hutchison Telecom, so he knows all about these things.
"That's really great. I wonder when your company will officially start commercial use? I can't wait to become your user. "Mai Lihao said excitedly.
"According to the plan, after the test is successful, we will hold a press conference for the world. At the same time, when the construction of the first phase of the cellular mobile signal system is completed, we will officially Start commercial use. "Weili continued.
"Okay, okay, I can afford to wait for a month! "Malley is in a great mood.
Hutchison Telecommunications Laboratories has multiple laboratory combinations, each of which is responsible for different research projects.
When McLehose visited the R&D laboratory, Sioux City pulled Langdon Moore aside and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Langdon, how many mobile phones do we have now?"
"Boss, due to the need for testing, so far we have assembled almost twenty mobile phones one by one under high-cost development conditions. Look at the display cabinet, except for three semi-finished products that were initially developed. In addition, the remaining five units are all finished products that have undergone quality testing. There are also more than a dozen units being tested at various signal tower test sites in Xiangjiang. However, they are now ready for mass production, and the mobile phone production line is also under observation. It is being installed in the Tang Industrial Zone, and after mass production, our complete machine manufacturing cost will drop significantly," Langdon Moore replied.
After hearing this, Su Cheng nodded and continued; "When Mr. Governor is about to leave, we will give him a mobile phone! You can make arrangements then."
Since There are so many of them, and he plans to take a mobile phone with him when he goes back. After all, he wants to become one of the first mobile phone users in the world.
In addition, give one to Maliho. Judging from his appearance, he already wants to become a mobile phone user. After taking the lead in building a signal tower in Central, MacLehose can also use mobile phones at any time when he is in the Central area, and no longer needs to go back to the office to make calls.
This is a good opportunity to let Mailihao owe a favor.
Having the top leaders owe favors will be of great help to Su City's industries in the future.
About half an hour later, several people finally finished visiting the laboratory.
Mai Lihao is a political figure, but I am not afraid that he will reveal any secrets.
What's more, these technologies have been patented in major countries around the world. If other companies want to use these patents, they have to purchase them from Hutchison Telecommunications!
"Mr. Su, Mr. Weili, and Mr. Langdon, that's it for today. I still have a lot of work to do. Since there is nothing else, I will go back first. Looking forward to it. Your mobile phones can be commercialized as soon as possible!" Mailihao said to the three of them.
"Mr. Governor, I'm sorry to ask you to come here when you are busy. On behalf of Hutchison Telecommunications Company, I will give you a gift. I think Mr. Governor will like it." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, after all, I am the governor of Xiangjiang. I cannot accept gifts from others casually." Although Mailihao was a little surprised, he quickly replied calmly.
Although he didn't know what Su Cheng wanted to give him, he, Mai Lihao, couldn't take the lead in receiving gifts. Otherwise, wouldn't the Independent Commission Against Corruption he established be a joke?
"Don't you want to know what the gift is, Mr. Governor?" Su Cheng continued.
"No matter what kind of gift, I can't accept it. Thank you Mr. Su for your kindness." Mailihao continued to shake his head.
“Well, Mr. Governor is indeed the best-imaged Governor in the history of Hong Kong. In that case, on behalf of Hutchison Telecommunications Company, I will donate a Yunsheng S1 mobile phone to the Government House. I think Mr. Governor will also You can't refuse, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Sending a gift to Maliho personally and donating it to the Government House may seem to have little meaning, but in fact there is a huge difference.
The former is suspected of taking bribes compared to Mai Lihao, while the latter is aboveboard and without any violation of regulations.
After all, it is normal for social foundations to donate to the Government House.
"In this case, on behalf of the Governor's Office, I would like to thank Mr. Su and Hutchison Telecommunications Company." When Su Cheng said that he would give away a mobile phone, Mailihao's eyes lit up.
After he learned that Hutchison Telecom had this product, he longed for one.
At this time, Langdon also came over with a gift box, which contained a mobile phone.
"Mr. Langdon, please deploy mobile signal towers in Central as soon as possible, especially near the Governor's Mansion, so that Mr. Governor can use mobile phones at any time." Sioux City told Langdon Mu Er said.
"Boss, please rest assured, I will strive to have mobile signals covering the entire Central District within a week!" Langdon Moore promised.
