Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 563 The Coming 1G Era

  Sometimes this person can't be too good-faced. The most important thing is the businessman's pursuit of interests.

  What is a businessman?

  Look at Li Chaoren's practice. He quietly entered the village, but he was discovered by them. He knew in his heart that he could not do the master's job.

   So, Li Chaoren decisively threw the weapon in his hand to the charter king, and he twisted a piece of fat from the charter king and ran away.

   This is the merchant.

  Because the charter king's lessons learned from the past, and Li Chaoren Mingzhu behind, Yang Chen felt that he couldn't fight against Yihe.

   Even if Jardine is already in the dilemma of lack of funds, but he has not exhausted the last drop of Jardine's blood, he is not ready to fight against a tiger that eats too much.

   He has money and he has money, but he needs to spend more places, and he wastes it on it for no reason. Some of it is not worth it.

  The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

   He didn't think that after he defeated Jardine, the other Chinese would just watch him swallow the whole piece of fat.

   You must know that the Jardine Consortium is comparable to HSBC, and its early strength is not comparable to that of HSBC. The number of companies under Jardine is huge, involving all walks of life in Hong Kong.

  If it wasn't for the fact that HSBC held the right to issue banknotes and its strength grew by leaps and bounds, the Jardine Consortium would never lag behind HSBC in the rankings, ranking second.

   However, rankings are based on rankings. If you think that Jardine is inferior to HSBC, then you are wrong.

  The most powerful people in this world are always those hidden in the dark and not known to people.

  The market value of Jardine He Group is indeed not as high as that of HSBC, even if it is combined with Landmark, it is not worth the HSBC that is now spread across Asia, Africa and Europe.

However, the holding companies of the Jardine Consortium involve a lot of industries, not to mention the Wharf in the early days. The rest are Dairy International, Culture Oriental, Jinmen Construction, Jardine Pacific, Jardine Motors, Hong Kong Airlines, Huizhou Kang Supermarket, etc. are relatively famous in the early days.

   There are dozens of companies that are not too well-known, but influence all walks of life in Hong Kong.

   However, Yang Chen doesn't care about those companies, he only focuses on Hong Kong Telephone and Hong Kong Electric, which is about to be acquired by Jardine.

   Especially Xiangjiang Phone, if it wasn't for the sake of pitting Yihe and making it a lot of debt, Yang Chen would have bought it long ago.

  As a rebirth, no one knows better than him what the future of the phone will look like. Who would have thought that decades later, the phone will not only become a communication tool, but also become an inseparable life partner in people's daily lives.

  Xiangjiang Electric Lighting, to a certain extent, Yang Chen sees it as more important than Carrefour. Although this thing will swallow a huge amount of money in the future, its benefits are unparalleled.

  Like HK Electric, Heung Kong Telephone also has the franchise in Heung Kong, that is to say, once he acquires Heung Kong Telephone, he will have the final say in the entire Heung Kong communication business.

   As for the Great Eastern Telegraph Office in Great Britain, without Heungkong Electric, don’t even think about getting involved in Heungkong communications business in the future.

  Any industry, no matter how small, as long as it involves a monopoly, it will have unbelievable profits.

   "The first thing you do next is to secretly absorb the shares of Xiangjiang Phone a little bit, and you will receive as much as you like. But remember, you can't be discovered by others. This matter is handled by you personally."

"Xiangjiang Telephone" Zheng Hiquan glanced at Yang Chen, then nodded vigorously, Xiangjiang Telephone is a high-quality company, although the market value is higher, but once it is controlled by Yang Chen, it will have a great impact on him personally. help.

   Zheng Hiquan didn't know Yang Chen's plan. After all, in this era, the phone was only used for making and answering calls, and for other purposes, if hitting people and knocking walnuts counted, its usefulness was really not small.

   But no matter how useful it is, it is impossible for people to live without it, and it is even more impossible for people to check information and watch small movies online.

   There are not many people who use Big Brother nowadays. It will take two years for Big Brother to truly commercialize, and Motorola's DynaTAC8000X portable mobile phone will appear, and mobile phones will really enter the life of the rich.

  The history of mobile phones can be traced back to the 1940s, when Galvin engineers developed the SCR536 portable FM wireless walkie-talkie for the U.S. Army.

   Yes, the principle of the first generation of analog mobile phones, to put it bluntly, is to convert the voice through the chip into an FM radio and send it out.

   Therefore, the confidentiality of the analog mobile phone is actually very poor. The signal sent by the mobile phone can be received by the FM radio, and it is not difficult to crack it.

  In the 1960s and 1970s, under the huge demand from the police, taxi drivers and other industries, the car mobile phone expanded rapidly in the US market.

   And some international metropolises like Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, etc. are also closely following the pace of the times. Many rich people also have this thing in their cars.

   And the big brother in the hands of the soldier is the predecessor of Motorola DynaTAC8000X.

   As early as 1973, Martin Cooper, a senior engineer at Motorola, developed a prototype mobile phone based on a cellular mobile communication system on the basis of a car mobile phone.

   However, because of excessive energy consumption, Motorola spent nearly ten years, tried again and again, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development before finally making a major breakthrough in portability and low energy consumption and successfully commercializing it.

  Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone, after installing the battery, can maintain a talk time of about half an hour, while the big brother in Yang Chen's hand has almost 25 minutes of talk time, which is infinitely close to Motorola's standard.

  Because it has not yet been commercialized, the big brother in Yang Chen's hands is as high as 30,000 US dollars, which is seven times as much as the Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone two years later.

  Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone was priced at US$3,995 at the earliest, and the price in Hong Kong was as high as HK$30,000.

   Although this price is high, it is not so unacceptable for the middle-class with a large number of Xiangjiang.

   Two years later, I believe that most of the film and television stars and high-paid white-collar workers in Hong Kong can have a big brother.

  The 1G era is coming, and Heungkong Phone will play a big role at that time. As more and more people use it, the market value of Heungkong Phone will increase exponentially.

  The telephone bills in the early days were not cheap. Xiangjiang had a sufficient middle class and was the best test field for the development of communications. In the early days, no matter how much he invested, he could still make money from the little sheep.

  The evolution of the telephone process, although he does not know the specific process very well, but the mobile phones of later generations, without exception, are all changing towards small and refined.

  3G and 4G are his personal experience. No one is more familiar with this than him. As for 1G and 2G, although he has never used it, as the saying goes, he has never eaten pork or seen a pig run? .

  In the early movies, the big brothers were the must-have artifacts for pretending to be aggressive. I believe everyone is familiar with it. Anyway, after decades of mobile phones, the smaller the better, and finally developed from buttons to full screen.

  The mobile phone is getting smaller and smaller, Yang Chen guessed that after 7G8G, the mobile phone will be directly stuffed into people's heads, or become a pair of glasses or something, so that people can get rid of the bad habit of bowing their heads.

   Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone is an epoch-making product, which means that human beings have entered a new era in communication.

  Hong Kong is one of the earliest regions in the world to build a mobile communication network, and the Hong Kong communication network is all controlled by the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

  Xiangjiang is a small area, and the communication network infrastructure will not cost much. As long as the Motorola DynaTAC8000X mobile phone is available, then the Xiangjiang phone can become a golden hen & chicken that lays golden eggs.

   Under the virtuous circle at that time, Xiangjiang Telephone will be able to be self-sufficient without having to invest much money.

   After resolving the matter of Xiangjiang phone, Yang Chen asked Zheng Hiquan again, "What do you think of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting?"

   "Xiangjiang Electric?" Zheng Hiquan didn't expect Yang Chen's thinking to jump so much. He had just asked him to secretly acquire Hong Kong Phone, and now he mentions Xiangjiang Electric. Is this planning to let him buy the shares of Xiangjiang Electric at the same time?

   "Boss, I heard the wind that Jardine is in the process of acquiring Xiangjiang Electric. I believe that it will not be long before Xiangjiang Electric will fall into the hands of Jardine. Do we need it?"

Before Zheng Haiquan said anything, Yang Chen waved his hand and said: "I don't need it for now, the share price of Heungkong Electric is still falling, and now the share price of Heungkong is fluctuating. Although the share price of Hongkong Electric has fallen slowly, it has never stopped. .

   Coupled with the series of de-industrialization of Heungkong, it is strange that the share price of HK Electric does not halve. This matter is not in a hurry. After Jardine has completed the acquisition of Heungkong Phone, which has cost a lot of money, we will find an opportunity to acquire it. "

   Hearing that Yang Chen was not going to buy Xiangjiang Electric Lighting right away, Zheng Hiquan heaved a sigh of relief.

   As the only two power companies in Hong Kong, the market value of Hong Kong Electric is not low, with a market value of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Anyone who wants to control it needs to spend a lot of money.

   If it was changed, it would be fine on weekdays, but at this time, the situation in Hong Kong is turbulent, and the banking crisis will suddenly break out.

   This Heungkong telephone is nothing more than that. If the Heungkong Electric Lighting is added, then Hang Seng Bank’s stored funds will be reduced by half, which is not a good thing.

   "Next, you need to have a detailed and careful in-depth understanding of the major listed companies under Jardine. I don't want me to send the money over, you don't know how to spend it."

   Zheng Hiquan listened and replied with a serious expression: "I understand the boss, don't worry, I will never miss your business."

   Yang Chen smiled and nodded when he saw this. The reason why he acquired Hang Seng Bank was to have more people like Zheng Hiquan for him to drive.

  Professional things are done by professional people.

  At that time, the big boss of him only needs to carry a mouth and order things.

   Move your mouth on the top, and break your legs when you run below.

   is the truth.
