We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#1074 - Robert Galvin's Concerns

After the release of Motorola's new phone, although it hasn't officially gone on sale yet, it has clearly garnered expectations from many people, especially in Europe and America.

According to Motorola's plan, the new product will be available for pre-order.

As for delivery, it will take two to three months.

Clearly, they achieved their goal.

Now, Motorola has once again become the pride of the nation in the United States.

From its release in mid-May to early June, according to the information released by Motorola, their pre-order numbers have exceeded 50,000 units, and it is expected that the pre-order data will exceed 100,000 units by the time of delivery.

This is a terrifying number, after all, it is no longer like the time of the Yunsheng S1 release, without any competitors.

Now, in the world, besides the Yunsheng brand, Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, etc., have all successively released their own mobile phone products two or three years ago.

With the precedent of Yunsheng S1, it is much easier for everyone to develop later, after all, there is no need for blind research and development anymore.

Therefore, the mobile phone brand on the market is now very rich.

However, in recent years, Yunsheng mobile phones have become the first commercial mobile phone brand, and the subsequent technology is slightly better than other brands, so Yunsheng mobile phones have always had the highest sales.

Motorola, due to their good technical foundation and the great influence of the brand, can also maintain sales in second place.

Now, in just half a month, the number of pre-orders has actually exceeded 50,000 units, which is data they had never dared to imagine before.

By June, although the data for Motorola's new product has slightly declined compared to when it was first released, it is still maintaining a good momentum, which shows that their hurried launch event has had a certain effect.

On the other hand, the Hutchison Telecom Research Laboratory is carrying out the final sprint in an orderly manner.

Since the technology itself has been developed and is already very mature, the person in charge of scientific research is not worried at all and is completely unaffected by the outside world.

Because everyone knows that once this new product is launched, it will definitely shock the world.

After all, this new product actually has revolutionary significance, completely changing the development direction of mobile phones.

Originally, mobile phones were just pure communication tools.

But now, after adding entertainment functions, mobile phones are no longer pure communication tools, but more of a product for entertainment and leisure.

It is conceivable how much impact it will have when this product is released.

Perhaps, the impact will not be less than the impact of the Yunsheng S1 release.

This is innovation.

As for Motorola's new product, it is just a small micro-innovation on the basis of existing products, and in fact, the technical changes are not much different from Yunsheng S4.

Let Motorola be arrogant for a while, and by July, it is estimated that they will not be able to be arrogant anymore.

Because Landon Moore and Wei Li have decided to officially release this new product to the public on July 1st.

Moreover, in early June, the product had been improved and repeatedly tested, and there were no problems, which is why it was decided.

After determining the final version of the product, this product had already entered the production line before it was released.

Because Hutchison Telecom and Hutchison Whampoa Group are both full of confidence in this new product.

Their plan is to launch and sell it simultaneously at the time of release!

Not a superficial pre-order, but a real pre-order with goods.

A month of overtime production, although it may not be able to satisfy too many orders, but tens of thousands of units can still be produced.

After the final version of Hutchison Telecom's Yunsheng S4 came out, Hutchison Telecom specially sent 10 specially made Yunsheng S4 phones to Su Cheng, the boss, with the best configuration.

At this moment, Su Cheng is holding this latest product from Hutchison Telecom in the Su family villa.

Although it cannot be compared with the mobile phones of later generations, and even in Su Cheng's eyes, this product is still very, very backward.

But these are just because Su Cheng has seen too much.

In fact, this product is already unique in this world, once again creating a new innovation revolution, and starting the most important beginning for the future development direction of mobile phones.

The biggest change in this mobile phone is that the size and weight have not changed much, but the display screen has changed from a traditional long black and white display screen to a slightly yellow square screen.

On this, not only can you display the dialed phone number, but you can also play two mini-games, namely Snake and Chinese Blocks.

These two mini-games are essential games on Oracle computers, and now they have been ported to this newly developed mobile phone.

Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Ajiao, Amei, etc., Su Cheng gave each of them a new mobile phone.

And he himself is also using this latest mobile phone with great interest, playing Snake.

It is still the familiar keyboard control feel, although the game is a bit boring, but Su Cheng is playing with relish.

Compared to Su Cheng, Ajiao, Amei and others are having much more fun.

They have not experienced the joy of the smartphone era like Su Cheng.

Therefore, even such a backward mobile phone is amazing to them and they feel very incredible.

"Brother Su Cheng, this is too amazing, mobile phones can actually play games, and there are ringtone songs to listen to, great!" Guan Jiahui exclaimed.

"Technology is developing, and future new products will shock you even more. Now it's just the beginning," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Brother Su Cheng, what do you think the mobile phone of the future will be like?" Guan Jiahui asked curiously, holding the Yunsheng S4 mobile phone.

"I estimate that the mobile phone of the future will be more advanced than the current computer, with more ways to play, more and bigger games can be installed in the mobile phone, and those songs can also be played through them. We can even use it to watch videos, take pictures, etc.," Su Cheng laughed.

"How is that possible?" Ajiao said with some disbelief.

"I also think it's impossible, too exaggerated," Amei followed closely.

From the current technology, Su Cheng's words do feel very difficult to achieve, but Su Cheng knows that he is just saying it in a small way. The future smartphone will be like a computer, able to do more things.

Regarding their views, Su Cheng did not refute them. Without experiencing the era of technological explosion, one would not feel how developed future technology is.

……

Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of June.

In the past two months, Motorola has been increasingly mythologized under the extensive media coverage in Europe and America.

This has led to an increasing number of orders being placed with them.

On June 28th, Motorola even issued a public announcement stating that orders for their new product, the Motorola MicroTAC, had exceeded 100,000 units.

This news further enhanced Motorola's reputation, and its influence in the telecommunications industry surpassed that of Hutchison Telecom in an instant.

Even some media outlets in Hong Kong began to worry about Hutchison Telecom, as it was the pride of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong was the first city in the world to achieve full wireless network coverage.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

And now, it was actually being surpassed by the old company, Motorola?

Many reporters even went to Hutchison Telecom or Hutchison Whampoa hoping to interview the group's leaders for their opinions, but they were not able to do so.

Because the top leaders had already left Hong Kong, including Hutchison Whampoa's president, Simon To, and Hutchison Telecom's general manager, Landon Moore; their destination was New York in the United States.

Compared to the influence of a city, New York is indeed much larger, something Hong Kong could not compare to for the time being.

In addition, Motorola held their press conference there, so Hutchison Telecom ultimately decided to release Yunsheng's new product in New York.

Simon To and his team arrived in New York a week in advance, then rented the Metropolitan Opera House, and sent invitations to some celebrities and influential media reporters.

Hutchison Telecom is about to release a new product!

Immediately, with the extensive announcement by media reporters, the news quickly spread throughout the United States, and was transmitted to Europe, Australia, and other places at the fastest speed.

No one expected that less than two months after Motorola released its new product, Hutchison Telecom, the leader in the mobile communications industry, would release a new product.

Could this be a response to Motorola's new product?

Many people suddenly became very interested and started paying attention.

The gods are about to fight.

I just don't know who will win in the end?

Schaumburg, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, USA, Motorola headquarters building, CEO's office.

Motorola's current CEO, Robert Galvin, panicked when he saw the description of Hutchison Telecom's upcoming new product launch in the newspaper, and almost knocked over the coffee on his desk.

Robert Galvin took over Motorola from his father, Paul Galvin, and it has been 24 years since then.

Before 4 years ago, Motorola was the leader in mobile communication technology, until 4 years ago, a new product released by Hutchison Telecom completely broke this tranquility.

Motorola's mobile communication technology was actually surpassed!

Moreover, the object of surpassing was not a technology company in the United States.

It was just Hong Kong, which many people considered a technological desert.

Since then, Hutchison Telecom has not only gradually led the world in cellular mobile communication networks, but Yunsheng Mobile Phones has also successively released three new products.

These three new products are all ahead of other companies' products, including Motorola's.

When Motorola's new product came out, everyone was excited, they felt that this was the best opportunity to overtake.

Therefore, when the product was not completely perfect, when there were still semi-finished products, they could not wait to hold a new product launch.

As a result, facts proved that their decision was correct.

After the product was released, Motorola's new product became popular at the fastest speed.

In just over a month, the number of pre-orders exceeded 100,000 units!

Although these pre-orders are not the final orders, under normal circumstances, unless the product is very bad, cancellations are basically unlikely.

In mid-June, they finally overcame numerous difficulties, and the final stable version finally came out.

Therefore, after confirming it, they quickly began to prepare for production.

However, when Motorola's MicroTAC new product had just started mass production, its competitor Hutchison Telecom was also about to release a new product?

Robert Galvin was also panicked about Hutchison Telecom.

In the past four years, they have been trying to surpass Hutchison Telecom in the field of mobile communications, but they just couldn't.

An hour later, Robert Galvin convened an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, I believe you have all heard the news of Hutchison Telecom's new product launch. What are your thoughts on this?" After the senior management meeting was convened, Robert Galvin asked his many elite senior executives with a heavy expression.

"Mr. Robert, we are not yet clear what kind of new product Hutchison Telecom has developed, so we cannot make corresponding countermeasures," Vice President Isa said helplessly.

"I think we don't need to worry too much. Their new product will at most have similar technology to ours. In this way, although our leading advantage is gone, we already have more than 100,000 orders. Relying on these 100,000 orders, we can earn a lot of money," a senior executive said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Zvi O'Hara's view is very agreeable to me. Hutchison Telecom will definitely not be able to come up with any new products. After all, it has only been less than two months. Even if the technology slightly surpasses ours, we don't need to worry too much. I think the biggest possibility is that the product they release is at most fifty-fifty with us. In this way, our sales in Europe and America will definitely be ahead of them," another senior executive replied.

"Hutchison Telecom has accumulated too much influence in the past few years. What we are worried about is that if their product is much better than ours, then our advantage will be gone," a senior executive raised his concerns.

"Mr. Yuri's view is not impossible, but I think the chance is very small. Let's focus more on productivity. Now that we have more than 100,000 orders, delivering them as soon as possible and completely completing the transaction is what we need to do at the moment," a senior executive said.

Looking at the mess in the conference room, but no one offered any useful suggestions, Zvi O'Hara sighed.

He was really worried that if his concerns were true, then Motorola's new product might become a joke this time. (End of this chapter)
