We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#432 - Governor's ambition
Murray MacLehose made a phone call to his wife, and the process went very smoothly.
After putting down the mobile phone, Murray MacLehose's heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
He didn't expect that a product with such a high level of technology would actually be produced by a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa?
As the top leader in Hong Kong, he naturally knew how much this thing could benefit them if it could be commercialized!
Murray MacLehose was the Governor of Hong Kong, the head of the government, and often needed to travel to various parts of Hong Kong for official business.
At this time, if someone wanted to contact him, they simply couldn't get in touch.
Especially when there were important matters he needed to know immediately, he could easily miss the crucial time.
But if there were mobile phones, then he would no longer have this trouble.
"Can this mobile phone receive calls in every part of Hong Kong?" Murray MacLehose asked after handing the mobile phone to Simon Topping.
At this time, he couldn't wait to own a mobile phone of his own, as it would bring great convenience to his work.
"Not yet. Currently, we only have a few places in Hong Kong where mobile phones can be used to make and receive calls," Simon Topping said.
"Is that so? That's really a pity," Murray MacLehose said, shaking his head.
Sure enough, how could such a high-tech product be so easily commercialized? The beautiful country has not been able to achieve it for so many years, and it is even more difficult for companies in a small place like Hong Kong to achieve!
"Governor, you don't need to feel sorry. We currently have the full capability for commercialization. Our mobile phones transmit signals through signal towers. As long as enough signal towers are built, mobile phones can truly be commercialized in Hong Kong," Landon Moore, as the company's general manager, explained to Murray MacLehose.
"Really? That's really great. If it's really successfully commercialized, your Hutchison Telecom will be bringing glory to our Hong Kong. I thank you on behalf of the Hong Kong government!" Murray MacLehose's excited mood returned after hearing Landon's words.
"Of course, but we are currently facing two problems. One is that our initial investment is very huge, and whether we can recover the costs is still a question. Building signal towers throughout Hong Kong would require even more massive funding; second, we need the full support of the Hong Kong government, otherwise we will not be able to truly commercialize mobile phones in Hong Kong," Simon Topping said.
Hutchison Telecom doesn't need to invest too much capital, and even the cost of the signal towers that follow won't be too high, but naturally, these things can't be said to the outside world, otherwise, how would they sell them at a high price?
Hong Kong itself is not large, and the most important thing at present is to deploy in the city center first, so the layout of the network points does not require many signal towers. After these things achieve mass production, the cost price will also gradually decrease.
What's more, according to the boss's intention, these materials were bought at sky-high prices, and Simon Topping felt that he was not talking nonsense.
"As for the funding, I think you shouldn't be lacking, right? After all, the whole world knows how rich Mr. Su is. Moreover, now that you have developed it, you must continue to do it, otherwise you wouldn't have invested huge sums of money to research this high-tech product, right? In addition, as long as you can make Hong Kong the first city to officially commercialize mobile phones, I, on behalf of the Government House and the Hong Kong government, can promise to unconditionally fully support Hutchison Telecom's mobile communication layout in Hong Kong. These can even be signed with you in the name of the government, so you can rest assured!" Murray MacLehose's sincerity was full. In order to make Hong Kong a mobile phone city, he was going all out.
Mobile phones, this thing, in this era, is simply a special high-tech product, even more difficult than computers.
After all, computers have already been popularized for civilian use, but mobile phones, let alone civilian use, have not even been able to be commercialized. So many laboratories around the world are researching them, but they have not been able to commercialize them.
But now, the unheard-of Hutchison Telecom has quietly developed it and can make it officially commercialized.
At this time, Murray MacLehose looked at Su Cheng. He increasingly couldn't understand the young man in front of him who was too young.
Originally, because of Su Cheng's ability, Murray MacLehose had always held a kind attitude towards Su Cheng.
And a few days ago, Su Cheng even obtained the KBE Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire personally awarded by Her Majesty the Queen. In this way, Murray MacLehose's attitude towards Su Cheng became even better.
People recognized by Her Majesty the Queen are naturally one of our own.
First, he came up with the world-leading Oracle computer, and now he has come up with the equally advanced cellular mobile telecommunications system and mobile phone.
If this continues to develop, wouldn't Hong Kong be able to become a world-renowned city of technology?
Suddenly, Murray MacLehose's mood became even more excited.
These are all his achievements, which are closely related to his career.
Originally, Hong Kong was a world-famous shipping center city. Over the years, under Murray MacLehose's governance, Hong Kong has gradually become a famous international trade center, manufacturing center, and international financial center.
Now, Su Cheng's appearance has given Hong Kong the opportunity to go further, and it is not impossible for it to become an international technology center, a world refining center, and other city honors. There is even a high probability that it can be achieved.
And if these are achieved during his tenure, then these achievements will not be his, Murray MacLehose's?
The more powerful Hong Kong is, the more it proves that his, Murray MacLehose's, ability is stronger!
At that time, he can successfully leave Hong Kong and return to the UK, and maybe even enter the cabinet and become a senior government minister, with the opportunity to run for Prime Minister.

Under normal circumstances, after he steps down from the position of Governor of Hong Kong, the most likely place to go is the House of Lords, the nursing home for retired political figures.
Now, Murray MacLehose is only in his early sixties. This age is the best age to rise in politics, and he is not willing to retire just like that.
Everyone has their own "ambitions."
Murray MacLehose is, after all, someone who has been in politics, and he naturally hopes to hold the highest position in the country in his lifetime.
Murray MacLehose still has three years of his term as Governor of Hong Kong, and with Su Cheng's current development speed, these may not be impossible to achieve during his tenure.
"It's really great to get the Governor's promise. Thank you very much. I will go to the Government House another day to discuss the details with the relevant officials," Simon Topping said with a smile.
He himself knew that Murray MacLehose would definitely support it, so he was not surprised.
Now, Hutchison Telecom has these key technologies in its hands, so there is no need to be afraid that the government will not support it.
People with high vision will not refuse such benefits.
Because everyone will know that the limitations of fixed-line telephones are too great. The future development trend must be towards mobile phones. Sooner or later, mobile communications will be popularized all over the world.
