Since Hutchison Telecom's products are only suitable for sale in Hong Kong, it has not spent money on advertising in areas other than Hong Kong. It is even less possible to advertise in distant European and American regions.
Today, Hutchison Telecom has only deployed its cellular mobile telecommunications system in the city center of Xiangjiang. In other words, after its release, the product can only be used in the city center of Xiangjiang. It does not make sense to spend money to put it in other places. big.
However, the mobile phone is a great product after all. Hutchison Telecommunications does not plan to launch it outside Hong Kong, but it does not affect it at all from becoming a hot news and quickly appearing in technology and business newspapers around the world. , and even some TV stations began to broadcast this news.
Motorola headquarters building, CEO office, Motorola headquarters building, Schaumburg Township, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, Illinois.
Robert Galvin, the current CEO of Motorola, couldn't calm down for a long time when he saw the description in the newspaper of the upcoming commercial launch of Xiangjiang mobile phone.
It has been 20 years since Robert Galvin took over Motorola from his father, Paul Galvin.
As a visionary and outstanding leader of Motorola, Robert Galvin has shifted the company's business focus to the research of electronic products in recent years, and has achieved great results, so he has already become a technology leader. A well-known boss in the world.
Over the years, Motorola has been groping in the direction of mobile phones. In 1973, Motorola successfully developed the first-generation mobile phone, which was something he was proud of.
In order to make mobile phones commercially available as soon as possible, Motorola, with the support of Robert Galvin, has continued to invest money every year in scientific research laboratories that study mobile phones and cellular mobile communication systems.
According to feedback from the laboratory, it will only take another three or four years at most before mobile phones can be commercialized.
Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, Motorola was not far away from the season of receiving goods. At this time, they actually told him that other companies had completed scientific research and were about to commercialize it? ? ?
In recent years, Motorola has invested huge sums of money from its profits every year. Up to now, it has spent at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
At this moment, these hundreds of millions of dollars seemed to have been wasted.
Robert Galvin sighed and called the company secretary: "Notify all senior executives that an emergency meeting will be held in an hour."
He wanted to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Not only these technology companies in the beautiful country, but also high-tech companies in Japan, Europe and other places, especially companies with design and research on mobile phones, were all shocked by this news.
Hutchison Telecommunications?
Everyone is thinking about what kind of company this sudden appearance is, and it can actually commercialize mobile phones before all companies.
Soon, someone found out the boss behind this company - Su Cheng!
And Su Cheng is also the boss behind another company, Oracle Computer Company, and they were even more shocked.
Send people to attend this press conference to see if the product they release is the product they imagined. It is best to come back with a finished product!
This is the idea of many heads of laboratories and companies involved in mobile phone research or mobile signal research.
Time soon came to the day when the mobile phone was released, January 26th.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
Many companies in Xiangjiang will have a holiday today so that employees can reunite on New Year's Eve. The press conference has been prepared, and all the mainstream media in Hong Kong have been invited; all the billionaires who should be invited have also been invited.
Tickets for this press conference are not open to the public. All guests attending the press conference have been determined in advance.
The press conference was held at the Xiangjiang Opera House. According to the invitation list, including the heads of my brother companies, the number of people was only about 700, and the rented opera hall of the Xiangjiang Opera House was enough. Accommodates thousands of spectators.
Originally, Landon Moore, the general manager of Hutchison Telecommunications, thought that he would just wait for the press conference to arrive. Unexpectedly, he soon encountered a problem.
More than 400 journalists, representatives of scientific research laboratories, business representatives, etc. from the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other places attended the press conference. I have flown to Xiangjiang one after another before.
Then, without exception, on the day of the press conference, these people used various methods to find connections and applied to Hutchison Telecom to participate in the press conference.
When Landon Moore, general manager of Hutchison Telecommunications, received the report from his subordinates, he looked at the list of applicants and was a little confused.
Behind these lists are basically people with good backgrounds, so it’s not easy to offend!
However, the opera hall that has been arranged can only accommodate an audience of 1,000 people.
And the 700 guests who have been invited, plus the more than 400 people who will come later, are relatively exceeded.
It’s not easy!
There is no other way. Langdon Moore can only call Weili and ask him to give his opinion on whether to allow these people to attend the press conference. Although he is the protagonist of the press conference tonight, he The person in charge of this small subsidiary company is not good at deciding such big things.
Langdon Moore told Weili the reason for everything, and then waited for Weili's answer.
Unexpectedly, Wei Li laughed and said: "It's a good thing that they want to participate in our product launch. We don't need to advertise outside of Xiangjiang, so they will help us for free. Publicity, why not do it! Although our mobile phones can only serve in Xiangjiang for the time being, we will definitely expand the market in the future. Now is a good opportunity for external publicity. No matter what, we must agree to their participation!"
"Then we have to change the venue?" Langdon Moore asked.
Weili looked at the time. It was still early. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still more than four hours before the press conference at eight o'clock in the evening.
"The total number of media reporters this time, in addition to those from Xiangjiang, plus press groups from other regions, is about five hundred." After Langdon Moore calculated it, he quickly gave got the answer.
"In that case, let's continue to use the opera hall. The time before the press conference is too short now. It is obviously too late to re-create the press conference site. Let's do this. All the seats in the media area will be removed. , other guests continue to reserve their seats," Weili said decisively.
The arrival of so many new guests was a surprise. They had not thought of this problem.
However, it is too late to change the location of the press conference. Last night, they tried a press conference speech in this opera hall. If they change the location now, the equipment may not be able to arrive at the press conference. It was adjusted before, so there was no time to change the conference venue. (End of chapter)
