Chapter 240: Doing something

It should be said that the current gsm network is not very sound, but near Hangzhou, due to the early experimental network, the situation here is much better, at least it can be used.

Fan Wubing was excitedly trying to call Boss Zhu to report on his work achievements, but no one answered the answer on the other side, and after a while, no one answered.

Fan Wubing was very puzzled, so he kept dialing. Finally, someone answered the phone and asked seriously, "Who are you? Why did you make this call?"

"Uh--" Fan Wubing was stunned and then suddenly realized.

Boss Zhu told him that he could make this call. The secretary also had records when he knew his old number and was able to connect the phone quickly and transfer it to Boss Zhu. But now his number has never been enabled, so he called Boss Zhu directly. Those secretary who are highly serious in their work attitude must figure out who called the phone to be transferred to Boss Zhu.

More likely, the other party thought he was a conspirator.

"I am Fan Wubing. I just changed into a new mobile phone, and the number is also new. If there are important things, please report to Boss Zhu." Fan Wubing directly explained his identity, so that they could not guess where they were.

"Is it Mr. Fan of Fan's Investment Group?" the other party asked immediately. After receiving Fan Wubing's confirmed answer, he said, "Please wait a moment and don't hang up. We need to verify it and then transfer it to Boss Zhu."

"Okay then, but please try to get faster. The mobile phone fee is very expensive." Fan Wubing said with some distress.

After only three minutes, the other party answered the phone.

"What's wrong with Mr. Fan?" Boss Zhu asked on the phone.

"Good thing, I want to treat you." Fan Wubing said happily.

"No way?" Boss Zhu asked in surprise, "Are you only eighteen years old? You seem to be less than the age to get married now! Have you ever studied the marriage law seriously?"

"Uh--" Fan Wubing was immediately embarrassed and answered for a long time, "What's the matter with me? My mobile phone R&D department finally came up with the latest results, domestic GSM standard mobile phones, with complete independent intellectual property rights! This matter should be worth treating me, right?"

"Is that true?" Boss Zhu was very happy after hearing this, "This is a treat, but has your gsm phone been tested?"

"I don't know if the test has passed. Anyway, I'm calling you with the mobile phone built by our company-" Fan Wubing said with a smile.

"Oh, that means there should be no problem." Boss Zhu said happily, "This matter is of great significance. After all, our country has never had an advantage in this regard. Now it is catching up, which is worth celebrating. Well, I'll look at the schedule. If you can catch up with your new phone launch ceremony, I will go there to create momentum for you."

"Then I'll thank you!" Fan Wubing said happily, "I have a limited edition mobile phone here. Why don't I leave you a platinum diamond-inlayed one?"

"Are you thanking me or hurting me?" Boss Zhu said with some amusement and crying, "Many eyes are staring at me. If I take your platinum diamonds here, someone will go to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to report me! But what kind of platinum diamonds is your mobile phone?"

"If you want to change it, it's definitely authentic platinum diamonds!" Fan Wubing patted his chest and promised.

"Then you can give it to me. When I retire, no one will say anything by that time." Boss Zhu said.

After hearing what Boss Zhu said, Fan Wubing suddenly felt a lot of emotion, shook his head, said a few more words to Boss Zhu, and hung up the phone.

There is actually no benefit in being in a high position, especially when you are clean, everyone always needs to find something unclean on you, and then you can say with peace of mind, look, everyone is the same!

Regarding the appearance design of the mobile phone, Fan Wubing also provides several solutions for everyone, one is the model of the straight plate machine, which is the classic models commonly used by Nokia, which later entered China, and the other is Motorola's classic flip phone.

After studying together for a day, we decided on two machines, including the straight board and the flip cover. The automatic keyboard lock function proposed by Fan Wubing was also solved by everyone, which can be said to be a great progress.

"We have achieved great success at present, but the development of digital mobile phones is in full swing, and technology must continue to advance. Our next goal is to realize the short message mutual sending function on the mobile phone, that is, to complete the keyboard input function on the mobile phone." Fan Wubing finally put forward his own request to everyone.

Wang Shihan also put forward his own opinions, "In terms of appearance design, I think we can hire some designers from abroad to do design. After all, their design technology is very advanced. Mr. Fan, what do you think of this?"

Fan Wubing thought about it for a while and said to Wang Shihan, "I have considered this issue, but I don't think it's necessary. In fact, foreign designers come and go in just a few moments, and they don't have two heads than us. How could they be better than us? What I mean is to develop design power from the local area. We Chinese people know what the needs of Chinese people are best."

"That's fine." After hearing this, Wang Shihan naturally did not strongly object. After all, what Fan Wubing said was reasonable, and he did not find any reason to refute.

After coming out of the factory, Fan Wubing asked Wang Shihan, "I have been living in a quiet place recently and I don't know what new trends are in the domestic electronics industry. Do you have anything you pay special attention to?"

Wang Shihan immediately replied, "Of course there is, and it is a very glorious thing."

The most glorious one in the electronics industry this year is Wanyan Company.

Many people don’t have any impression of what Wanyan Company is, but when it comes to their products, no one doesn’t know that they are the company that developed the VCD machine in China.

In April 1992, the American C-cube company launched the MPEG image decompression chip they developed. Jiang Wanmeng, who is still the general manager of Jiangsu Group, became interested in this inconspicuous technology at that time. He believed that using MPEG technology can store images and sound on a small CD and make audio-visual product VCD. The radio and television industry can thus end the history of tape recorders dominating the world and create a new era of CD recording.

So Jiang Wanmeng met with Sun Yansheng, chairman of C-cube. Coincidentally, Sun Yansheng is a Chinese American, and the two fell in love with each other. Jiang Wanmeng expressed his ideas and interests, and the two hit it off and decided to work together to create consumer electronic products that use mpeg technology.

In March 1993, Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng jointly invested 17 million US dollars to establish Wanyan Company, using American mpeg technology to develop new audio-visual products.

No technology will be smooth for new product research and development. In order to achieve technological breakthroughs in development, Jiang Wanmeng worked hard and, after repeated trials, he finally successfully developed the world's first VCD machine and passed the national appraisal. This is also the only achievement in my country's world-leading achievements in the history of consumer electronic products, and has attracted the attention of many people.

In September 1993, Wanyan's first batch of 1,000 VCD machines were launched. It fully complies with the MPEG 1 image compression standard officially issued by the international community.

"In the first half of this year, Wanyan has produced tens of thousands of VCD machines. Wanyan has sold products to the market and advertised, and acquired the copyrights of eleven audio-visual publishing houses. He launched nearly a hundred kinds of karaoke discs, allowing consumers to enjoy the rich audio-visual meal provided by VCD. Now Wanyan vcd machines have occupied 100% of the market share." Wang Shihan said to Fan Wubing.

There is no doubt about occupying 100% of the market share, which means that you have fully mastered the pricing power and can sell as much as you want. You can recover the cost of tens of thousands of VPNs. No wonder Wang Shihan is so envious of this.

After all, it is much less difficult to develop a vcd machine than to develop a mobile phone, but the benefits are very high.

"There is nothing to envy-" Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "Have they applied for a patent?"

"It seems that there is no - I heard that their first batch of products were basically bought by other home appliance companies, in order to make prototypes for dissection. It is estimated that everyone will be able to launch their own VCD machines soon." Wang Shihan said to Fan Wubing, "However, their technology is already ahead. Even if others come in and get a share of the pie, this market is enough to support them."

"The ending of products without patent protection will be very miserable. In less than a year, imitation machines will flock to you. At that time, everyone will be fighting for financial resources." Fan Wubing shook his head and said.

Wang Shihan said to Fan Wubing, "Actually, I want to recommend this project to you. With the strength of our company to develop this kind of thing, it will take less than two months to launch mature products. Moreover, I have investigated the market capacity and it is still no problem to sell millions of units every year. We have this strength."

Fan Wubing smiled unquestionably and said, "I don't know how to do this project, but if you are interested, you can give it a try. Anyway, you can buy ready-made technology, which won't cost much."

"Is that true?" Wang Shihan was a little eager to try it out. Obviously, this big market made him a little moved.
