We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Governor, would you like to tour our laboratory?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I would be honored!" the Governor responded.

Subsequently, the four of them toured the entire laboratory of Hutchison Telecom headquarters.

Currently, more than half of the Hutchison Telecom Building has been transformed into research and development laboratories.

And the number of R\u0026D experts, technicians, and so on is also increasing.

These days, Hutchison Telecom's recruitment has never stopped.

The company's goal is to scout talent from Motorola, Bell Labs, Nokia, Siemens, and other companies related to the telecommunications industry.

"Mr. Weili, I wonder, with the strong support of the government, how long would it take to cover the central area of ​​Hong Kong with mobile signals as soon as possible?" While listening to the technician's explanation, MacLehose asked Weili, who was beside him.

The more MacLehose understood this new mobile phone, the more he hoped to use it as soon as possible.

At that time, he would be very prestigious in front of other governors.

After all, even London, the capital of the United Kingdom, has not been able to use mobile phones, but Hong Kong can be the first to use them.

This is such a proud thing.

"Governor, we already have a layout plan. Currently, we plan to proceed step by step. For example, first designate Central, Causeway Bay, and North Point on Hong Kong Island, and Ma Yau Tei, Mong Kok, and Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula as the first batch of signal tower construction coverage areas. This will not take too long.

Because we have previously deployed a signal tower in each of these places for testing. Next, it will only take a month to deploy more signal towers in these places and achieve cellular telecommunications signal coverage.

As for full coverage of urban Hong Kong, it will probably take half a year." Weili often comes to Hutchison Telecom, so he knows these things very well.

"That's really great. I wonder when your company will officially start commercial use? I can't wait to become your user," MacLehose said excitedly.

"According to the plan, after the test is successful, we will hold a press conference to the world, and at the same time, when the first phase of the cellular mobile signal system is completed, we will officially start commercial use," Weili continued.

"Good, good, good, one month, I can wait!" MacLehose was in a great mood.

Hutchison Telecom's laboratory has multiple laboratory combinations, and each laboratory is responsible for different research projects.

When MacLehose was visiting the R\u0026D laboratory, Su Cheng pulled Landon Moore aside and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Landon, how many mobile phones do we have available now?"

"Boss, due to the need for testing, we have assembled nearly twenty mobile phones one by one under high-cost research and development conditions so far. You see, in that display cabinet, except for the three initial R\u0026D semi-finished products, the remaining five are finished products that have passed quality testing. In addition, there are more than a dozen machines being tested at various signal tower test sites in Hong Kong. However, mass production can now be carried out at any time. The mobile phone production line is also being installed in the Kwun Tong industrial area. After mass production, our overall machine manufacturing cost will drop significantly," Landon Moore replied.

After listening, Su Cheng nodded and continued; "When the Governor is about to leave, let's give him a mobile phone! Please arrange it then."

Since there are so many units, he plans to take a mobile phone back with him when he goes back. He must become one of the first users of mobile phones in the world.

In addition, give one to MacLehose. Looking at his appearance, he already wants to become a mobile phone user.

After the signal tower is first built in Central, MacLehose can use his mobile phone at any time when he is in the Central area, without having to go back to the office to make calls.

This is a good opportunity to make MacLehose owe him a favor.

Having the top leader owe a favor will be of great help to Su Cheng's industries in the future.

After about half an hour, the group finally finished visiting the laboratory.

MacLehose is a political figure, so he is not afraid that he will leak any secrets.

What's more, these technologies have been patented in major countries around the world. Other companies have to purchase these patents from Hutchison Telecom if they want to use them!

"Mr. Su, Mr. Weili, Mr. Landon, let's end here today. I still have a lot of work to do. Since there is nothing else, I will go back first. I look forward to your mobile phones being commercially available as soon as possible!" MacLehose said to the three of them.

"Governor, I'm really sorry to have you come over during your busy schedule. On behalf of Hutchison Telecom, I would like to give you a gift. I think the Governor will definitely like it," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Mr. Su, I am, after all, the Governor of Hong Kong. I cannot accept gifts from others casually," MacLehose said calmly, although he was a little surprised.

Although he didn't know what Su Cheng wanted to give him, he, MacLehose, couldn't take the lead in accepting gifts. Otherwise, wouldn't the Independent Commission Against Corruption he established be a joke?

"Doesn't the Governor want to know what the gift is?" Su Cheng continued.

"No matter what the gift is, I can't accept it. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Su," MacLehose continued to shake his head.

"Okay, the Governor deserves to be the Governor with the best image in the history of Hong Kong. In that case, I will donate a YunSheng S1 mobile phone to the Government House on behalf of Hutchison Telecom. I think the Governor will not be able to refuse, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Giving gifts to MacLehose personally and donating to the Government House may seem insignificant, but the actual difference is huge.

The former is suspected of MacLehose accepting bribes, while the latter is aboveboard and does not violate any regulations.

After all, it is normal for social consortia to donate to the Government House.

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Su and Hutchison Telecom on behalf of the Government House." Hearing Su Cheng say that he would donate a mobile phone, MacLehose's eyes lit up.

After learning that Hutchison Telecom had this product, he had long been eager to have such a product.

At this time, Landon also came over with a gift box, which contained a mobile phone.

"Mr. Landon, please deploy the mobile signal tower in Central as soon as possible, especially to completely cover the vicinity of the Government House, so that the Governor can use the mobile phone at any time," Su Cheng said to Landon Moore.

"Boss, please rest assured, I will strive to completely cover the entire Central area with mobile signals within a week!" Landon Moore assured.
