Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

The meeting with Wang Chuanfu was just a small episode.

But as Lin Shen said, the PHS mobile phone produced by Zulong Technology is officially planned to be released.

Because Xihu City was chosen as the first pilot city, PHS signals were initially only launched and sold in Xihu City.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about choosing Xihu City as the launch city, because big cities like Shai will not allow outdated technology like PHS to reverse technology for the time being. That’s why we chose Xihu City.

This promotion of PHS sales is jointly promoted by the Xihu Municipal Telecommunications Bureau and China Netcom Business Hall.

Because these two companies currently do not have mobile operating licenses and are also fixed-line network operators, PHS cooperated with them to fill their gaps in mobile phones and allow them to compete with Longguo Mobile.

Zulong Technology initially produced only 10,000 PHS units, which were placed in the business halls of China Telecom and China Netcom, and were also sold in electronic markets selling phones and other products.

Ten thousand PHS units cost 2,000 yuan each, which is twice as cheap as today’s mobile phones.

However, because only Xihu City has a signal and can only be used within the urban area of Xihu City, it is unknown whether these 10,000 units can be sold, and even Duan Yongping is not sure.

After all, there is no signal outside of West Lake City. Compared with mobile phones, the shortcomings are still huge.

Therefore, Duan Yongping did not dare to sell too many PHS products at once. If the market could not digest it, it would be a loss-making business.

Of course there are disadvantages, but also advantages.

That is the advantage in communication rates.

Nowadays, mobile phone charges are very expensive. In the beginning, the call charge was one yuan per minute. Although it has been lowered now, it is still 60 cents per minute. Moreover, it is a two-way charge, which means that if you use your mobile phone to answer a call, you will also be charged 60 cents per minute.

The cheap tariffs and free calls in later generations have obviously not been realized yet.

However, Zulong Technology’s PHS has this advantage, because PHS is connected to the fixed-line network, and the charges are based on the fixed-line charges. Not only is it only charged for calls, but it is only 20 cents per minute for the first three minutes. Minutes after that, it’s a dime per minute.

Compared with today’s mobile phones, this price is very cheap.

But the problem is that PHS can only be used in Xihu City now, and it can only be regarded as a portable fixed phone.

But no matter what, having reached this point, Duan Yongping could only bite the bullet.

In the past two days, Lin Shen took leave from school again and went to West Lake City.

He came to West Lake City, partly because he wanted to see the sales of PHS, and partly because he wanted to wait for someone.

Lin Shen stayed in the hotel, and Duan Yongping was with Lin Shen.

Duan Yongping is still very uneasy. He has always wanted to buy a mobile phone but couldn’t get it. Now that he has found a substitute for the mobile phone, he is very excited and worried that PHS will not be accepted by the market.

Of course, Lin Shen was still very calm. Because he knew PHS would become popular.

This is a historical necessity.

The price is twice as cheap as a mobile phone, the tariff is even cheaper, and it can be carried around like a mobile phone. These advantages make people in Xihu City favor PHS.

Seeing Duan Yongping’s nervous look, Lin Shen said:”Mr. Duan, relax, it’s not the first time. It’s like a big girl getting on a sedan chair.”

Duan Yongping stopped pacing. Stepping forward, he said awkwardly:”I can’t help it. How PHS performs in Xihu City directly determines whether other cities can accept PHS’s network opening in the future. As long as West Lake City performs well, we can do it in other cities.” By then our PHS will be no different from ordinary mobile phones and can be used in any city.”

“The idea is good, but you are spinning around in front of my eyes, making me dizzy. Lin Shen smiled.

Duan Yongping stopped pacing and sat down on the sofa.

But even if he sat down, he was still a little restless.

“What time will PHS go on sale tomorrow? Lin Shen asked

“It will be available for purchase early tomorrow morning, but we did not do large-scale advertising this time. We only made physical advertisements in the business halls of China Telecom and China Netcom, and their staff will cooperate with us in promoting it. Then there is the electronic market, which will also have corresponding billboards and posters.”Duan Yongping said

“that’s it. Lin Shen nodded,”Mr. Duan, please stop being so anxious.” Do your best to obey fate.

Duan Yongping suddenly remembered that Lin Shen had always had a good eye and was always very accurate in predicting things, so he said,”Mr. Lin, why don’t you help me analyze it first? Can our PHS succeed this time?”

Seeing Duan Yongping’s expectant look, Lin Shen said,”It seems that if I don’t answer you, you will be able to sleep well tonight.” In this case, let me tell you my opinion. I think PHS will achieve some results. Maybe it will take Zulong Technology to a new level.

Duan Yongping was overjoyed and said excitedly:”Really?””

“of course it’s true. Lin Shen said.

Originally, he wanted to say that PHS would be eliminated sooner or later, but after thinking about it, it was better not to dampen Duan Yongping’s enthusiasm.

“call. Duan Yongping breathed a long sigh of relief,”I feel relieved.””

“Haha, relax.” Lin Shen said.

The next day PHS would be officially launched for sale. Even with Lin Shen’s prediction, Duan Yongping still didn’t sleep well.

Lin Shen slept well, and he was not too worried about the performance of PHS.

Secondly That day, Lin Shen and Duan Yongping parted ways. Duan Yongping went to see the sales of PHS, while Lin Shen went to the train station.

Lei Jun came to Xihu City again.

“Boss, why did Mao bring me to Xihu City again?”Lei Jun said,”What you asked me to do last time was strange enough.”

“Why, are you dissatisfied with the performance of the people you asked to poach last time? Lin Shen asked

“Even if there is no such thing, they can still shine in the company.”Lei Jun said

“That’s good. If I ask you to come over this time, I’ll do the same thing as last time and continue poaching people. Lin Shen said

“ah?”Lei Jun has a black streak on his head.
