We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"It's good news. After multiple tests, our mobile signal has covered most of the central area of ​​Hong Kong. Although the signal may not be very good or unstable in many places, we are, after all, the first in the world to cover a city with a mobile signal network. Therefore, according to the current situation, we can officially release and sell mobile phones to the public." Wei Li excitedly reported to Su Cheng.

Wei Li was very impressed with the money-making ability of the Oracle computers of the Su's Group. He had long been looking forward to the completion of Hutchison Telecom's cellular mobile telecommunications system as soon as possible, and then starting to release and sell mobile phones to the public. Now, the time has finally come. How could he not be excited!

"Well, it is indeed good news. How much stock of mobile phones have you prepared?" Su Cheng asked.

Since they were preparing to release it, they naturally had to prepare enough goods.

However, as Hong Kong is the first city in the world to officially commercialize mobile phones, Su Cheng is not afraid of other competitors.

Of course, with the release of Yun Sheng's mobile phone, mobile phone research pioneers such as Motorola, Lucent, and Bell Labs will definitely speed up their research and development time, and it is impossible to delay it until 1983 as in Su Cheng's previous life before it was officially born.

During this period, Su Cheng also felt that the signal light of his Yun Sheng S1 mobile phone was basically green when in the city, unless in some places with too many obstructions, it would show a red light.

"Mobile phones have been in rush production during this period. Although the speed is a bit slow, we have currently produced nearly 8,000 units. According to the current purchasing power of Hong Kong, although it cannot be satisfied for the time being, as the production technology becomes more and more mature, our production speed will also become faster and faster. Next, we will look at the pre-order situation after the release. If the pre-order volume is considerable, we will also spend more costs to increase the production line, and the output will not be a problem then." Wei Li replied with a smile.

"Okay, when are you planning to hold the press conference?" Su Cheng asked.

"We plan to release it on January 26, 1979, because January 27 is the traditional festival of your China. At that time, everyone's attention may be focused on family reunions or visiting relatives and friends. Therefore, if we release it the day before New Year's Eve, we can achieve the goal of attracting the attention of all Hong Kong people.

When they chat with relatives and friends on January 27, New Year's Eve, or even during the Spring Festival, our mobile phones will definitely be mentioned frequently, which will also help increase our visibility! I hope the boss can also come to the press conference on that day, and it is best to go on stage to endorse it. The boss, your reputation in Hong Kong is very high." Wei Li had obviously already discussed it with Hutchison Telecom.

"Okay, I will be there to support you then. It's no problem to go on stage and create more hot topics for our mobile phones. But it's best if you are fully responsible for the press conference. I don't plan to stay up there for too long." Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, boss, the press conference will not be hosted by me, but by Landon Moore, the general manager of Hutchison Telecom. He is more professional in this area, and what he says will be more professional. Moreover, he has lived in Hong Kong since he was a child, and speaks Cantonese better than me. The effect will be better if he hosts the press conference!" Wei Li said.

Su Cheng was also surprised that Wei Li would give up this opportunity to be recorded in history.

After all, this press conference can be regarded as the world's first commercial mobile phone press conference. It will definitely be remembered in the history of science and technology in the future, and the person who hosts the press conference will naturally be remembered in history as well.

Just as Su Cheng was about to hang up the phone, Wei Li still had something to trouble Su Cheng with.

"By the way, boss, I still need to trouble you with one thing. It might be more appropriate for you to do this." Wei Li said.

"Oh? What thing do you need me to do myself?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

"After all, our mobile phone is relatively expensive, and ordinary people basically can't bear to spend money to buy it. Therefore, our target customers are the rich people in Hong Kong. So I plan to invite all the billionaires in Hong Kong to participate in our mobile phone press conference. This will not only create momentum for our press conference, but also these wealthy people are one of our target customers. After they participate in the press conference, they will definitely hope to become the first batch of mobile phone users, which can also be regarded as indirectly endorsing us." Wei Li said with a smile.

"Okay, leave this to me. I happen to have nothing to do during this time." Su Cheng nodded and said.

After hanging up Wei Li's phone, Su Cheng's gaze shifted to the mobile phone on the side.

Press the power switch, and after a while, the signal light above quickly turned on the red light, and after a while, it turned from red to green.

This is the mobile phone connecting to the nearby signal after it is turned on. The signal light will only turn from red to green after the connection is successful.

Barker Road is a wealthy area, and many people are target customers of Yun Sheng S1 mobile phones. Although they live relatively scattered, Hutchison Telecom has still set up signal towers here.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this is also the place where Su Cheng, the boss of Hutchison Whampoa, lives. How can there be no signal coverage!

Su Cheng played with it for a while, and then smiled and put the mobile phone back on the table.

Although he had already used a mobile phone, it was not officially commercialized after all. It is also a good thing to be able to watch mobile phones become popular in Hong Kong.

It shows that this Yun Sheng S1 mobile phone can finally make money.

If it is a mobile phone developed by other companies, it is very difficult to get the money back. For example, Motorola, in order to develop this mobile phone, they spent nearly ten years before and after, and the investment of funds is even more regardless of cost. Even if they successfully sell it first, they don’t know how many mobile phones they have to sell to earn back these costs, let alone reach the point of profitability.

Offended Motorola? Su Cheng is not afraid. During this period, he also poached a lot of talents from Motorola. They are competitors in themselves, and there is no such thing as offending or not offending.
