Back to 1995

Chapter 439 Wuxia Amon
Sandor's sudden words froze the smile on Song Yang's face for a moment. Looking at Sandor, Song Yang felt that this guy didn't look like a good person!
Song Yang could boast about Motorola's "Iridium Project", but if Song Yang paid real money for it, he would be mad, and he would go into the pit with Motorola.

Seeing Song Yang's astonished expression, and the people from Nokia, Ericsson, Panasonic and other companies all looking at the excitement, Sandor snorted, he couldn't tell, he was just waiting Watching the Motorola joke.

The "Iridium Project" was proposed as early as 1985. Iridium is the 77th sequence on the periodic table of elements. The plan at that time was to launch 77 communication satellites, but the project was too large, and finally reduced to 66. satellite and 6 spare satellites.

It's just that this plan has been delayed, and now, under the impetus of Chris Calvin, the new head of the Calvin family, Sandor finally signed and agreed to 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 gateways will be built on the ground, officially starting Motorola's satellite communication plan!

Whether the "Iridium Project" will be successful, Sandor has no idea. This project looks very large and grand, and it can provide signals for the ground all the time. satellite signal.

Think about it, a user uses a Motorola mobile phone and uses Motorola’s satellite network package. If the plan can be completed, the dispute between virtual signals and digital signals that has plagued Motorola will no longer exist. At that time, Motorola was A giant spanning the mobile phone and communication industries, plus Motorola's 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 pie 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 would be strange to believe Motorola's nonsense. According to Motorola's plan, it will raise billions of dollars from the bank, and after the satellite signal is activated, there must be at least 50 users in the early stage. , Only then can the Iridium satellite group barely maintain itself.

Analysts on Wall Street estimate that the "Iridium Project" has been fully completed, and users using Iridium Communications will spend more than three dollars per minute, and may even reach eight dollars!

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

This is also the fundamental reason why Wall Street and people in the industry are not optimistic about the "Iridium Project". It is too expensive. Americans are rich, but they don't want to build it like this!

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

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

After wrangling with Sandor, Song Yang stretched out his hand to Olaley again, "President Olaley, thank you for coming!"

In addition to Sandor and Olaley who came on behalf of Motorola and Nokia, the rest are the heads of Ericsson, Sony, Panasonic and Siemens in North America, and the North American operations president of Alcatel France Mike Chigli, Telephone and Telegraph A representative of the group is in the meeting room at the moment.

On Song Yang's side, there are mainly managers from Alcatel Mobile, PA Semiconductor, and America Telecom.

After all the people were seated, Song Yang glanced at O'Rali and Sandor. Today's focus is on these two. Now Motorola and Nokia's mobile phone market share exceeds 40%. If two people are willing, they can jointly 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."

Ertian stood up and said to the people in the conference room. All the executives in the mobile phone and telecommunications industries in the conference room looked at Ertian.

He took a deep breath. In the past, Ertian would never have imagined that one day, mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson would sit below and listen to his speech, but this scene actually happened.

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

"The mobile phone industry has developed for many years, but it is still a magical industry. It is a miracle in the history of the electronics industry. What is certain is that today's mobile phones are still not perfect, 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 press conference, not now..."

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

Elthian's face was slightly embarrassed. His statement was indeed prepared for the product launch, and now he used it as an opening remark. Unexpectedly, Gnus turned the table over.

Song Yang looked in the direction of Gnus, and glanced coldly. Gnus could make such a move, which means that he didn't pay attention to the Alcatel mobile phone at all. If the person who spoke at this time was Ola Leigh or Sandor, afraid that Gnus would not dare to interrupt!
No matter in the conference room or on the negotiating table, after all, only the strength can have the confidence to speak. A weak country has no diplomacy, and it is common in any industry. At that time, I didn’t know whether the Alcatel mobile phone was still Wuxia Amon, and whether Ericsson could still laugh like it is today...

Sitting in the conference room, Olaley looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, and saw the cold look on Song Yang's face, which reminded Olaley of some information about Song Yang that people had collected before. Among the news, there is one piece of news that Olari left a deep impression on, that is, Song Yang has never been soft on his opponents. Olari feels that there will be some sparks between Alcatel and Ericsson in the future.

Turning his head to look at Ertian, O'Rari seemed to see himself five years ago. At that time, Nokia was even worse than the current Alcatel mobile phone. When facing other mobile phone brands, O'Rari also had no words right.

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

O'Rali's opening made Ertian relieve the siege, and he nodded to the assistant on the side. The latter took out multiple mobile phones and placed them in front of O'Rali, Sandor, Gnus and others.

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. No matter how much you say, seeing is believing. It is more convincing.

Seeing the assistant, the Alcatel P1 mobile phone that was put in front of them, and everyone including O'Rari, immediately became serious.

In the commercials, Nokia, Motorola and other major mobile phone manufacturers have studied it for a long time, but the analysis on paper is completely different from seeing and trying it with their own eyes. .

Elthian made a gesture of invitation to let Olali and others experience the P1 mobile phone. At this time, he is not afraid of leaking it at all. After the global press conference the day after tomorrow, it will be on sale.

Even the Alcatel mobile phone dealers and America Telecom stores in some areas have already pulled over the assembled phones produced and assembled in Yanjing in secret, and are just waiting for the sale. Just experience it.

"Just like the P1 mobile phone you have seen, I think you should have seen some publicity. On this mobile phone, Alcatel mobile phone uses some new functions and technologies!"

What Ertian said, Olari and the others didn't pay much attention at this time, and they were all holding the P1 mobile phone to experience it.

As soon as he got it, O'Rari immediately felt that the phone was much lighter than he expected. When he touched the material, O'Rally immediately analyzed that the P1 phone uses alloy and plastic on the body and buttons. It's a bold choice that saves weight, or... money.

However, it is not known whether the use of new alloy materials, or even plastics, will affect the functions and safety of mobile phones. Nokia has suffered a lot in this regard.

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

Holding the mobile phone with a blue frame and white button in his hand, O'Rari pressed the power button, and with a burst of "marimba" start-up ringtones, the color screen of the Alcatel P1 mobile phone in his hand began to light up.

Seeing that P1 really uses a color screen, instead of the foolish people in the advertisement, there was a burst of exclamation in the conference room.
