Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Nokia has many labels, such as being small, sturdy and durable, and being able to continue making calls even if it falls from a building and breaks apart, etc.

What appeared in front of Liu Yong at this time was a classic Nokia mobile phone.

Liu Yong picked up 1110 and asked in confusion: "What is this thing for? What is it called?"

"This is a cell phone!" Huang Liang replied.

"Hand-held chicken?" Liu Yong was even more confused. "Don't be ridiculous. Whose chicken looks like this..."

"......" The engineering guy was speechless and explained, "This is not the chicken that we eat, it's the machine. The simple explanation is that this is a machine for making calls."

"What the hell? A phone call?" Liu Yong asked in confusion, "Where's the line? Where's the phone line?"

"Wireless communication, uncle..." Zeng Wangcai was also annoyed by Liu Yong and explained, "I already said it's wireless communication, no phone line is needed... Don't ask anymore, let Liangzi give you a simple explanation of the principle and usage of this."

"This uses wireless signals..." Huang Liang is worthy of being an engineering man. His science lectures are easy to understand and profound.

"This..." Liu Yong didn't speak for several minutes after listening to it. He stared at 1110 with his mouth half open, as if the CPU was burned out. Finally, he took a breath and said, "You call this wireless communication?"

Wireless communications have actually been introduced into China very early, with a history of nearly a hundred years, but they have always existed in the form of telegraphs and radio stations, and those involving sound are radios.

As for the further development of walkie-talkies, the Americans were still playing with them at that time and they had not yet entered China.

So, when a device suddenly appeared that could communicate without the need for wires, Liu Yong couldn't accept it for a while.

"Uncle, can you please tell me if this can be done?"

"Can I do it?"

This is too powerful... Liu Yong, who has already begun to imagine the uses of the mobile phone, was excited: "How far can this thing cover? How far can I make a call?"

"Theoretically, there is no distance limit," Huang Liang explained. "As long as the signal base station can cover it, it can be used within the coverage area."

"Oh, the base stations are already finished," Zeng Wangcai continued, "The research institute of the automobile factory has produced two base stations, and they are just waiting to be installed and tested."

"In fact, the research institute has already tested it and there is no problem with the signal base station."

"Really? Then just connect it to your phone directly?"

"Yes, synchronize well. In fact, this step has already been completed."

"is it?"

"Yes......"

Liu Yong felt a little dizzy, and raised his hand and said, "Stop, are you guys telling crosstalk? You're telling me about such a big thing after you've already done it, right? Zeng Wangcai, you're going too far, why didn't you tell me earlier..."

The old comrade feels aggrieved, just like a child who missed a cartoon.

"It doesn't matter whether you say it earlier or later." Zeng Wangcai smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, it's a success. Now we just need to produce base stations, not mobile phones. I have 2,000 units ready for sale, but it's a pity that it's stuck in the post and telecommunications..."

"Two thousand?" Liu Yong said in a lost voice, "You have already mass-produced them? It's very good, very good... I asked you to keep it a secret."

"......" Zeng Wangcai was speechless, "It's not mass-produced, it's from outside... you know."

I understand you, Til!

Liu Yong said unhappily: "Do you know what this means? You are still planning to go public? Dream on. You must first meet the military needs..."

Look, without Zeng Wangcai's help, Liu Yong has thought of the most suitable place.

Liu Yong stopped talking to Zeng Wangcai and picked up the phone to call Yang Mingyuan, who was transferred to the logistics department because of his age. "Where are you? Don't tell me anything else. I'll give you 30 minutes to get here. I'll show you something good... Yes, yes, Zeng Wangcai is with me... If you come too late and he runs away, I won't care."

In less than thirty minutes, Yang Mingyuan arrived in twenty minutes.

"What good stuff has this kid come up with?" Yang Mingyuan asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the door.

"Take a look at this. Do you know what it is?" Liu Yong handed 1110 to Yang Mingyuan. "If you guess it, I'll buy you a drink. If you don't, you can buy me a drink."

How could Yang Mingyuan guess it was a cell phone? He just smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a drink, no problem. Tell me what this is?"

"It's not easy to extort money from you." Liu Yong pulled Huang Liang and said, "Let him talk. I can't explain it. I haven't seen this thing before."

Huang Liang became a tool.

A few minutes later...Yang Mingyuan's CPU burned out.

"Look at how silly he is..." Liu Yong sat drinking tea and laughed at his old friend's state.

Zeng Wangcai couldn't say that you were like that just now. He was thinking, how many of the first batch of 2,000 mobile phones can he keep.

Originally, if it had gone through the Post and Telecommunications business and been listed separately under the name of Huayao, the two thousand units could have been used to enter the market in the four-nine cities.

It’s no use now. Yang Mingyuan will not let this go. The army will definitely purchase it.

But mobile phones are only one aspect, base stations are the foundation. Zeng Wangcai's original plan was to use the income from mobile phones to balance the costs of producing and installing base stations. Even if he is rich, he cannot afford to subsidize this for a long time.

Now it seems that some of it must be distributed.

However, the advantage of cooperating with the army is that no one dares to complain.

"Two thousand, right? Our troops want all of them, and you have more..." Yang Mingyuan really started.

"Stop, stop, uncles, big guys, listen to me..." Zeng Wangcai said with a wry smile, "It's not that I want to make money from the country because I'm rich and unkind. If you listen to me talk about the cost of this thing and its future development trend, you will understand..."

He talked for a while, explaining from all angles that the core of mobile phone development is base stations, and mobile phones can only function if there is signal coverage from base stations.

But signal base station users will not pay, so the investment must be borne by the developers themselves.

"To develop mobile phones, I have only one condition." Zeng Wangcai finally said, "Huayao will cooperate with the Third Ministry of Machine Building. Huayao will provide mobile phones and supporting facilities to the Third Ministry of Machine Building for free. No money is required. Just consider it as my support for national defense construction.

"But I need to sell mobile phones to the market to make up for the deficit. Huayao must take this part of the profit itself. Otherwise, Huayao will not be able to maintain such a large expenditure."

"No money?" Liu Yong and Yang Mingyuan were moved.

This plan was thought of by Zeng Wangcai when he came here. He thought it was a way to kill two birds with one stone. First, he could get formal permission, and second, he could support national defense construction. The last point was very important. If it didn't cost money, there would be no conflicts of interest, and he could avoid future disputes with the second generation in the military.

As for making money...without competitors, how can you not make money? Zeng Wangcai has ten thousand ways to make money.

"How about this..." Liu Yong decided, "I will report this matter immediately. You prepare for the test. There may be many officials present, so be careful."

"no problem......"

Afterwards, Liu Yong and Yang Mingyuan jointly reported the incident, and the leaders immediately paid attention to it. They decided to hold a meeting in Xiyuan. Liu Yong and Yang Mingyuan naturally went, and the Postal Department also wanted to attend...
