Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 249 The Impact of Mobile Phones 2

Seeing that this phone can actually make calls to the Soviet Union, this is not as simple as convenience. It is simply an artifact that can greatly increase the frequency and efficiency of people's contact. Really like Bao Zixuan said, you can be found in any corner of the world.

Bao Zixuan said: "It seems that Bulazova lives in a happy family. Her father is a mechanical management engineer. Her mother is a teacher, and her younger brother has been admitted to the best university in the Soviet Union. She is also very good, so Family seems very beautiful to me.”

Bulazova: "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for giving me this opportunity. If I were not willing to talk to my father on the phone for so long, the cost of each call from the United States to the Soviet Union would be too high."

Bao Zixuan: "This is a small matter. I also want to thank you for giving us a chance to test the performance of the mobile phone. Who else wants to call home and friends? We are choosing the last one. As for the future, you can only Wait until the phone is launched to experience its capabilities.”

A middle-aged man walked onto the stage and said to Bao Zixuan: "I am David Owen, a teacher at Oxford University in the UK. Can I call Oxford University?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course, I graduated from Oxford, but I didn't meet you when I was studying, so I don't know you. I hope you won't be offended."

David Owen: "I am a teacher majoring in electronics, and you are a student in the aerospace power department. But I am proud that Oxford can train students like you."

After dialing the number of the Oxford University Electronics Laboratory, a female voice came from the other side and said: "Hello! This is the David Owen Laboratory! How can I help you?"

David Owen: "Is it Shirley? I'm Professor David Owen. I'm calling you on my mobile phone right now. I mainly want to test its performance. Is the call clear to you over there?"

Shirley: "The call was very clear, I could hear every word you said!"

David Owen: "That's good, I'll hang up if it's okay."

Bao Zixuan said to Professor David Owen: "Professor Owen, how is the performance of our product!"

David Owen: "Great! I can't imagine that there are such convenient products in the world."

With the approval of David Owen, an electronics expert, the authority of Heiyun Mobile Phone has been confirmed. Bao Zixuan said: "The mobile phone demonstration has been completed. Next is the reporter's question period. Everyone can ask questions at will."

A young male reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I would like to ask you the price of this mobile phone!"

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun mobile phones are divided into two versions. The men's uniform black version is priced at US$2,388 each. The women's color version requires special customization, so it is priced at US$2,588 each."

Hearing that the women's version is more expensive than the men's version makes many men worry about their wallets. After all, if you don’t buy one for your wife to use it at home, it will definitely not be easy.

Another middle-aged reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! Where can I use this mobile phone now?"

Bao Zixuan: "We only opened seven cities in the first batch, six cities in the United States: Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit; only one city in Asia was opened, and that was Xiangjiang."

"Everyone can use these seven cities now, and the others need to be opened continuously. The initial infrastructure investment is very huge, and signal towers need to be built in each city. We will also seek to cooperate with local phone companies. In order to achieve full coverage of the network , let more people use Heiyun mobile phones."

Then a beautiful reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I would like to ask how much it costs to build a mobile phone signal tower; what is the coverage area?"

Bao Zixuan: "The signal tower is divided into two types. One is the outdoor type. Its price is 2 million US dollars and can cover a radius of 20 kilometers. The disadvantage is that it has weak wall penetration ability. One is the urban use type, and the price is It costs US$300,000 per unit. It can cover a radius of 5 kilometers and has strong wall penetration capabilities, but the signal transmission distance is short.”

At this time, beautiful women always have some privileges. The beautiful reporter then asked: "Excuse me, what should we do if we want to contact this mobile phone?"

Bao Zixuan: "Our Heiyun mobile phone has two number segment modes. One is that the phone company can install a fixed number on the phone, similar to a car phone. The other is a phone card developed by Heiyun itself. Just distinguish the numbers. To independently form another number segment system, the telephone company needs to choose it, and it can also be decided based on customer needs."

At this time, a Xiangjiang reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I would like to ask what number segment is currently used in Xiangjiang Heiyun, and when can we buy it?"

Bao Zixuan: "In Xiangjiang, our Heiyun uses a set of independent number segments. There is a device at the terminal that can copy the number to the phone card through the computer. Then this number is yours."

"Heiyun uses an 11-digit phone number to distinguish it from the existing fixed number system. Currently, Heiyun stores in Xiangjiang already have mobile phones for sale."

"At the same time, the first batch of mobile phones has been distributed to Heiyun management. The first is for testing, and the second is to popularize mobile phone usage. Make our work more efficient."

Then another female reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! How can the signal tower form a network? If I use a Xiangjiang phone number, can it be used in the United States?"

Bao Zixuan: "The signal tower can cover every corner of the city, and the phone company can be connected to the fixed phone system when operating, so that a larger network can be formed."

"Of course Xiangjiang's phone number can be used in the United States, but the price is much higher. Because you have to pay roaming fees to American operators. After all, we use remote signal connections here. To put it bluntly, you have to pay double the fee."

"For example, the price of a phone number in Xiangjiang is US$0.1/minute when used in Xiangjiang, but it may cost US$0.2/minute when used in the United States. So I do not recommend applying for a number in a different place, as this will increase the usage cost."

Everyone was rushing to ask Bao Zixuan various questions. One reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! How can we prevent thieves from using the mobile phone after it is lost?"

Bao Zixuan: "You can contact the operator at this time, and they will cancel your number. In this way, once the phone sends out a signal, it will be locked and cannot be used in the future. But you want me to help you find it. Currently The technology can’t do it yet.”

The reporter next to him asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I would like to ask if this mobile phone can be used by linking to satellites in places where there is no signal!"

Bao Zixuan: "It's absolutely possible, provided that the satellite company allows you to access the signal. However, such a cost is not affordable for ordinary people. After all, the basic cost of satellite communications is very high."

"Heiyun mobile phone supports multiple communication modes, and we have put a lot of effort into this aspect. This is to make customers feel at ease when using it, and can quickly and easily contact the people you want to contact."

"I have one last question, let me leave it to a beautiful woman!" Seeing Bao Zixuan looking at her, the beautiful reporter asked happily: "Can this phone be used for military purposes?"

Bao Zixuan: "Theoretically, it is possible, provided that there are signal towers in the area where the warring parties are located. And the signal towers can still work normally, but I personally recommend not to use them in the military. Military equipment has strong anti-interference capabilities, and Heiyun mobile phones are also up to It does not meet the requirements. All the chips and components we use are civilian products, and their strength does not meet military requirements."

Hearing that it cannot be used in military applications reassures U.S. intelligence agencies. After all, this thing would be really difficult to control if it were used by the military. Now these concerns have been eliminated, but further investigation is needed.
