Back To 1995

   Chapter 439 Wuxia Amon

   Sandel's sudden words caused the smile on Song Yang's face to freeze for a while. Glancing at Sandel, Song Yang felt that this guy didn't seem like a good person!

  Song Yang can tout Motorola's "Iridium Project", but it would be really frustrating to let Song Yang go in with real money, so he would accompany Motorola into the pit.

Seeing Song Yang's astonished expression, and looking at Nokia, Ericsson, Panasonic and other companies, they were all watching the excitement, Sandel groaned, he couldn't see it, he was just waiting. Watching Motorola jokes.

The "Iridium Project" was proposed as early as 1985. Iridium is the No. 77 sequence on the periodic table of elements. The plan at that time was to launch 77 communication satellites, but the amount of engineering was too great, and it was finally reduced to 66. satellites and 6 spare satellites.

   It’s just that this plan has been delayed, and now, under the promotion of Chris Calvin, the new generation head of the Calvin family, Sandel finally signed the plan.

   This year, Motorola will officially launch satellites. It is expected that within two years, all satellites will be launched, and 12 communication receiving gates will be built on the ground, and Motorola's satellite communication plan will be officially launched!

Whether the "Iridium Star Project" can be realized, Sandel has no idea. This plan looks very huge and grand. It can provide signals for the ground all the time. No matter where on the earth, it can receive the "Iridium Star Project" from Motorola. satellite signal.

Think about it, a user uses Motorola's mobile phone and Motorola's satellite network package. If the plan can be completed, the battle between virtual signals and digital signals that has been plaguing Motorola will no longer exist. At that time, Motorola was A giant spanning the mobile phone and communication industries, plus Motorola and its own chip semiconductor business, Motorola will become a real giant in the technology industry!

  This is Motorola's reason to convince itself, and it is also a big cake for the outside world. The technology and media industry is very excited. Large-scale satellite communication is indeed a huge change for the communication industry.

But for Wall Street and the investment industry, it is strange to believe in Motorola's nonsense. According to Motorola's plan, it is necessary to raise several billion dollars from the bank, and then after the satellite signal is opened, there must be at least 500,000 users in the early stage. The scale is enough to allow the Iridium satellite constellation to barely maintain.

   And analysts on Wall Street estimate that the "Iridium Project" has been completed, and users using Iridium communication will charge more than three dollars per minute, and may even reach eight dollars!

What kind of concept is this? The price of a mobile phone this year is basically around five or six hundred dollars, that is, a satellite phone using Iridium. After an hour of conversation, basically the money for a mobile phone is gone, worthy of the name. phone call...

   This is also the fundamental reason why Wall Street and insiders are not optimistic about the "Iridium Project". It is too expensive. Americans are rich, but they are not willing to do it!

"Oh," the surprised look on Song Yang's face flashed, and he smiled again, "This is an opportunity for the North American Investment Fund. If it is suitable, the North American Investment Fund is very willing to invest" Iridium "Star Project"!"

   Song Yang said so, but inside the North American Investment Foundation, if anyone dared to mention any investment in the "Iridium Project" in front of him, then they would wait to pack up and leave.

   After chatting with Sandel, Song Yang stretched out his hand towards O'Larry again, "President O'Larry, thank you for coming!"

In addition to Sandel and O'Larry, who came on behalf of Motorola and Nokia, the rest are the heads of Ericsson, Sony, Panasonic and Siemens in North America, and Mike Chigley, president of North American operations of Alcatel Telecom in France, and Telegram. A representative of the group is all in the conference room at the moment.

  Song Yang's side is mainly the managers of Alcatel Mobile, PA Semiconductor and America Telecom.

After a group of people were seated, Song Yang swept across Olaly and Sandel. Today's focus is on these two. Now Motorola and Nokia have a combined market share of more than 40%, that is, as long as this If two people are willing, they can join hands to decide the fate of the entire mobile phone market!

   "Thank you very much for coming to this mobile phone conference. On behalf of Alcatel Mobile, I welcome you all."

  Erthien got up and said to everyone in the conference room. All the executives in the mobile phone and telecommunications industries in the conference room all looked towards Eltien.

   took a deep breath. Before putting it, Ertian would never have imagined that one day, mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson would sit below and listen to him speak, and this scene actually happened.

However, Ertien knew that this was just the first step. The day after tomorrow, in the conference center under his feet, at the global conference held by Alcatel Mobile, he would stand in front of thousands of people and launch the P1 mobile phone. Today is just a rehearsal.

"The mobile phone industry has been developed for many years, but it is still a magical industry, it is a miracle in the history of the electronics industry, it is certain that today, the current mobile phone has not reached the perfect level, and it will be a long time in the future. , it will all be imperfect, and we…”

"Feel sorry!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came out, it was Gnus, the representative of Ericsson's North American operations department, "President Ertian, I'm sorry to interrupt your speech, but your speech, I think it should be used in the upcoming product At the launch, not now..."

As soon as Gnus said this, there was a burst of muffled laughter in the conference room. Gnus was saying that Eltien was wasting everyone's time. These insiders are really not interested in listening. They came here today just to know what tricks the Alcatel mobile phone is going to play, and to spy on the information about the Alcatel mobile phone.

  Erthien's face was a little embarrassed. His statement was indeed prepared for the product launch. Now I use it as an opening remark. I didn't expect to be turned off the table by Gnus.

Song Yang looked in Gnus's direction coldly. If Gnus could make such a move, it means that he didn't take Alcatel's phone into his eyes at all. If the person who spoke at this time was Ola Leigh or Sandel, afraid that Gnus would not dare to interrupt!

No matter in the conference room or at the negotiating table, after all, it is strength that has the confidence to speak. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and they are common in any industry. However, the so-called "discipline" should be treated with admiration for three days, and wait until next year's At that time, I didn't know whether the Alcatel mobile phone was still under Amon, and whether Ericsson could still laugh like today...

Sitting in the conference room, O'Larry looked at the scene in front of him with interest, and the cold look on Song Yang's face that flashed across his face. O'Larry couldn't help but think of some of the things he had collected about Song Yang before. Among the news, there was one item that impressed O'Larry, that is, Song Yang had never been soft-hearted towards his opponents. O'O'Larry felt that there would be some sparks coming out of Alcatel and Ericsson in the future.

Turning to look at Ertien, O'Larry seems to have seen himself five years ago. At that time, Nokia was more unbearable than the current Alcatel mobile phone. Orali didn't say anything when facing other mobile phone brands. right.

   "Alcatel phone, there should be something special today, should you take it out?"

  O'Larry's opening made Ertien free, and he clicked at the assistant beside him. The latter took out several mobile phones and put them in front of O'Larry, Sandel, Gnus and others.

   Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. No matter how much you say, seeing is not believing, it is more persuasive.

   Seeing the assistant and putting the Alcatel P1 mobile phone in front of him, the faces of everyone including O'Leary immediately became serious.

In the commercials, major mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola have long studied it many times, but the analysis on paper is completely different from what I saw and tried with my own eyes. .

  Erthien made a gesture of invitation and let O'Lally and others experience the P1 mobile phone. At this time, he was not afraid of leaking it. After the global press conference the day after tomorrow, it was time to go on sale.

Even Alcatel mobile phone dealers and American Telecom stores in some areas have already kept the assembled machines from Yanjing and kept them secret, and they are only waiting for the sale. Just experience it.

   "As you have seen the P1 phone, I think you should have seen some of the propaganda, and on this phone, the Alcatel phone uses some new functions and technologies!"

  What did Eltien say? At this time, O'Larry and the others didn't care too much, they were all experiencing it with the P1 mobile phone.

As soon as he started, he immediately felt that the phone was much lighter than he expected. As soon as he touched the material, he immediately analyzed that the P1 phone uses alloys and plastics on the body and buttons. It's a bold choice that saves weight, or... saves money.

   But the use of new alloy materials, or even plastics, will not affect the function and safety of mobile phones, it is unknown, but Nokia has suffered in this regard.

These days, there have been various rumors about mobile phones, and there are even more rumors about Nokia. Rumors such as battery explosion and radiation have all appeared on Nokia, and most of them are the credit of friends. It is conceivable that the mobile phone industry For decades, the means of "friends and merchants" have basically been the same...

  O'Larry held the mobile phone with the blue frame and white keys in his hand and pressed the power button. With the "Marimba" ringing, the color screen of the Alcatel P1 mobile phone in his hand began to light up.

   Seeing that the P1 really used a color screen instead of the foolish person in the advertisement, there was a burst of exclamations in the conference room.
