Chapter 1072 It's Not that the Technology Is Bad, It's that the Timing Is Wrong.
Christopher, my friend, how long has it been since you came to Los Angeles, please take a seat. "
"Thank you, William, you've been quite the show lately."
William White smiled wryly, is it okay to stay out of the limelight? Anyway, if you don’t look at how much money he has but just say how much he has lost, that kind of feeling, this guy is basically going bankrupt.
"Lisa, give us something to drink."
"Okay, boss, please wait a moment."
The Asian financial crisis may turn into a global economic crisis. Then, the first unlucky ones are those so-called multinational companies.
"It's really bad now. Our Yixing plan is going to be officially operated next year. In the current situation, it may not be possible to achieve the goal.
Do you have any good suggestions about operation. "
"Tsk, the report in my hand is a regional survey report on mobile communications, Asia Pacific.
To be honest, I was shocked. "
William White handed the document to Christopher, and the handsome old man was slightly taken aback and took it with a smile. Although there have been quarrels between the two, generally speaking, there is more cooperation than confrontation.
People who run businesses have different ideas from Wall Street, and everyone has similar ideas, which is not surprising.
"so much?"
"Yeah, not to mention other places, Xiangjiang users are throwing away their pagers. You know, the service fee is not cheap, and the money saved is enough for sending text messages."
The development of cellular phones has far exceeded market expectations. Now if you talk about tens of millions of users, it is a layman. The operator's goal is already to use 100 million as the unit.
With money, the impossible becomes possible.
Submarine cable?
What's the matter, one is not enough.
As for those base stations, the larger the number, the lower the price. Whether it is Motorola or William White, they have basically given up. Anyway, you can just pay the patent fee.
As a result, the status of Yixing Project is very embarrassing.
Of course, no one will deny that this is a great plan.
But, it's useless for you to be great. If this thing doesn't make money, it will be unsustainable at all.
Obviously, Motorola is aware of this problem. The investment during this period was all done by deceit. Not only did they not continue to invest, but they were also suspected of cashing out.
"May I ask, have the CIA or the FBI bothered you recently?" William White's words were not only shallow, but also impolite.
However, William White doesn't care. His recent state is a bit magical, and he basically does whatever he wants. Anyway, you don't want to see anyone, and you are full of malice when you see anyone.
Well, this is also a normal behavior. If anyone loses so much money like him, it will probably be even more unbearable.
"Ahem, of course, you know, unlike you, we are still a military provider."
"Damn it, I should have thought about it a long time ago, CDMA is the system promoted by Xiangjiang, and they have tormented my engineers a lot.
I heard, I heard that they are about to succeed. And you, Yixing, are basically unlikely. If the call time is too short, it is impossible to leave what they want. "
William White's words hit Christopher's life. If you insist on business, a large number of users will be lost. You really don't need such a phone unless you need to be out in the field.
Yes, your cost is 75% lower than Inmarsat. However, a dollar a minute is also necessary, and the call quality is still terrible, which is similar to analog mobile communication.
However, the cost of a digital-to-analog call is less than ten cents. More than one hundred people a month is enough, but if you have the same frequency of calls, at least more than one thousand.
Well, this is not the most important thing. If it is the same communication experience, it is five times or ten times more expensive, it is really not a big problem. After all, the degree of call security is completely different.
But, can you do it?
No, the satellite can't find you, saying anything is a waste of emotion.
"Christopher, believe me, next year will not be a good time. When you announce the commercialization, if, if the Asian financial turmoil affects the whole world, well, this is already a high probability event."
That's all there is to say about William White. The meaning is very clear, delay it, Sao Nian, if you can delay it for a year, you may still be able to escape.
Of course, I can also cash out. If the start is not good, it will be over in three or two years.
"However, if it is delayed any longer, the stock price will be unstable."
"It rose by 400% before, and no one said it shouldn't be. As a CEO, you should be responsible to shareholders.
Christopher, I'm not talking about you as a CEO. You are the successor of the Galvin family, so I will tell you this. "
Christopher was silent, and William White understood very well. Technically speaking, this thing is really awesome, it is definitely tall, there is nothing to say.
Since the establishment of the project, the Yixing Project has improved many problems. The current set of things is still digital. The cutest thing is that he bypasses the ground nodes of all countries. The security level of calls between satellite phones is very high.
Such a 13-year-old stuff can really be boasted for a lifetime. Unfortunately, business operations are definitely not that simple.
Bastard, how can we track this thing out of you?
Also, I can't hear the old Wang's wall next door. Tell me, how can we solve it?
Of course, these words are not appropriate to say in public.
William White didn't know how Christopher would choose. Anyway, he came up with a bad idea. Your system is new, so spend more time polishing it and blowing it up.
You see, those animal protectionists, why don't you support them? Guys on polar expeditions, you can fool around too.
Overall, it's a pretty good plan. It's obviously better to test with these people than to have a president call.
You're in the Oval Office, and it's a pain in the ass to remember to use the satellite phone. The president's call was originally copied.
unless……
Impossible, no matter how much money you give, Lao Ke will not help you shoot this advertisement.
The plot design is like this, Lao Ke hides in the office, picks up Yixing's phone...
As a result, when he was interrogated by the judge, the conversation was not recorded, and Lao Ke was acquitted.
With this system, William White doesn't want him to go to the street. It’s okay to lose money, but the world’s richest man will feel heartbroken if he loses billions.
If it can be operated at a low cost, like the Inmarsat, that's fine. The current digital transmission is slow, but it does not mean that it will be slow in the future.
At the same time, in the oval office area of Peanutton, a war of tearing up 13 is going on.
"Robert, we have to rescue Smecta, this is simply not a loss we can afford."
As the boss in charge of finance, Robert Rubin, he is not a rubber stamp.
"Impossible, Your Excellency, you'd better talk to the giants of Wall Street first.
They not only lowered Smecta's sovereign rating, but also spared no effort to short Smecta. Are you really sure that the money didn't go directly to Soros. "
Fuck, Old Ke was dumbfounded, he couldn't order Robert Rubin, even if he nominated him. As for the giants on Wall Street, that's even more nonsense.
Bastard, do you dare not let me make money? Believe it or not, I'll go find a few more psychopaths.
