Chapter 237

After the celebration in Chicago, baozixuan returned to Boston the next day. He wants to see what the functions of the black cloud mobile phone are. After all, he just puts forward a technical index and appearance sketch.

When baozixuan left, many Blackstone fund employees had another expression. Everyone didn't expect that the little boss could drink so well. Up to now, no one knows how much steamed stuffed bun Xuan drank last night. They only know a lot, and much more than them. But everyone is drunk. Only the boss is fine, which explains the problem.

Back in the black cloud lab, I saw that Jul Engel was waiting for him. Baozixuan smiled and said, "Jul, how is the performance of our mobile phone? I can't wait to see it."

Jul Engel: "it fully meets the technical requirements you put forward. Now the size of the mobile phone is much smaller than that of the Motorola lab. the weight is only half of that of the other party, but the standby time is three times that of the other party. This is mainly because we have made a major breakthrough in lithium battery technology and all our parts have been streamlined."

In fact, baozixuan knows that the signals used by mobile phones in this era are 1g analog cellular networks. Although there are many shortcomings, such as low spectrum utilization, limited types of services, no high-speed data services, poor confidentiality and so on, it is of great significance compared with this era. He pioneered the long-distance wireless communication of mankind.

Bao Zixuan: "at present, how much does the construction cost of our signal tower cost?"

At present, there is no large-scale construction of signal tower in the market. Now many telephone companies can't see the prospect of this mobile phone product. Therefore, we can only minimize the cost. In the early stage, we are likely to build our own signal tower. This is not a small expenditure. It is estimated that it will be difficult to support a black cloud enterprise alone, but baozixuan has also thought about this problem, that is, to provide a good foundation for subsequent expansion. Entering the 2G \ 3G \ 4G \ 5g era in the future, it can be seamlessly connected.

Jul Engel: "at present, the price of a small set of equipment is $200000, which can only be used in cities. However, it will be more cost-effective to use large equipment outdoors; The price of each set is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million US dollars. It mainly depends on the order and use requirements. "

Bao Zixuan: "we will first establish local systems in several major cities in the United States. If the effect is good, many telephone companies will follow up this project. At that time, we can make a profit by selling equipment."

Black cloud has now purchased all the patented technologies of Bell Labs and Motorola on mobile phone and signal communication protocol, and it can upgrade and transform itself on this basis.

When Jul Engel put a brand-new mobile phone in front of baozixuan, he really felt incredible this time. At present, Motorola only produces mobile phones, that is, brick machines that can be used to smash walnuts. In front of Yul Engel's baozixuan is a second brother, a brand-new mobile phone with antenna telescopic function and microphone flip function.

Just looking at the appearance can sling Motorola's similar products, which is the current scientific and technological ability of heiyun. With baozixuan sparing no effort and regardless of cost, this mobile phone can reach the level of 90 years in the previous life.

Bao Zixuan: "how much does this mobile phone cost?"

Jul Engel: "except that the motherboard adopts Motorola products, we produce all the other parts ourselves. The cost of one-step mobile phone is about $1500, and it can be controlled at $1200 if it is mass produced. "

Hearing this, baozixuan thought, no wonder Motorola dared to launch so many satellites into space in the previous life. It turned out that it was too rich. It's no joke that mobile phone profits are more lucrative than anyone can imagine.

Bao Zixuan: "very good, but we should purchase enough motherboard chips from Motorola before listing. Otherwise, if our business is good, he will run out of stock for us, it will lose too much."

Jul Engel: "boss, we have a procurement contract with them. They won't do such things that violate business ethics!"

Baozixuan thought that Jul Engel was really just a scholar. I don't know what many people in the world will do for their interests, but he won't be so idealistic and put his fate on other companies.

Bao Zixuan: "it's impossible to harm others, but we have to guard against some things. It's better to be careful. We'll order 10 million motherboard chips first, and we can hold on for a long time even if they are out of stock. "

In fact, many companies in the United States in the previous life did the rogue behavior of collecting deposits, not delivering goods, and not returning money. At that time, he will prevaricate with a crime endangering national security. Baozixuan doesn't want this to happen to him.

Jul Engel didn't understand the doorway here, so he had to trust baozixuan. Although the boss is young, he has a keen sense of business. He is not comparable to an engineer. It's better to listen to the boss at this time.

Jul Engel was embarrassed and said, "good boss, I know what to do. However, it takes a lot of money to buy so many goods at one time. The money in the account of black cloud mobile phone is used for R & D. at present, there is not much money to buy components.

No wonder Jul Engel was embarrassed. He burned more than $100 million these days. If it were any boss, he would have been angry. He didn't expect baozixuan to care so much.

Even in Bell Labs, a major scientific research institution with scientific research as the first goal as its own responsibility, it did not invest money like this. If Jul Engel really dared to burn money like this, it is estimated that investors would have bothered him long ago. This is also why the mobile phone project lags behind Motorola. Otherwise, his technical reserves are definitely earlier than Martin Cooper's development of mobile phones.

Bao Zixuan: "now contact other black cloud companies immediately. We will first invest in large-scale signal towers in major cities in the United States. I know these will be acquired by telephone companies sooner or later, but now these companies will not invest money for an invisible project. Then we will give priority to investment. We can buy them or cooperate with them at that time. In short, we must not lose money. "

Jul Engel: "what do we need to do and which cities to choose first."

Baozixuan: you calculate the coverage area and how many signal towers each city needs. For the first batch in the United States, we only selected six cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Detroit. In other places, after we generate benefits, enterprises will naturally negotiate with us for construction. In addition, Asia will choose Xiangjiang as the first pilot city, and others will be decided after they are listed by phone. In addition, the most important thing is to prepare the signal tower equipment. When we see the benefits, other companies will follow up and buy it.

Bao Zixuan is going to release his mobile phone at the Los Angeles electronic technology exhibition. The time can be said to be very urgent. Fortunately, the negotiations with these cities had been completed when they were ready. Black cloud not only paid oil for land use, but also increased urban employment. Moreover, in this era, mobile communication has not endangered national security. After all, there was no such thing in the world before. The core technologies are in the hands of Americans, and the motherboard chips are produced by American companies. This is the confidence of others. Mastering the core technology is not afraid of what moths you play.

Jul Engel: "boss, if so, we have to invest about $200 million in the early stage to cover these cities."

In fact, this is one of the reasons why the early telephone charges are expensive. The early investment is too large, and there are too few users. If you don't charge the customer's telephone fee, please wait and lose money!

Bao Zixuan: "no problem. I will invest 300 million US dollars in heiyun mobile phone company."

This means that Blackstone fund has made a lot of money, otherwise the cost of looking for ginseng can empty blackcloud cash flow.
