Chapter 1566 Mobile Network Progress

If Yin Jun wants to build his own entertainment empire, he must spend a lot of money on it.

For example, in terms of special effects, all the special effects companies in Hollywood in the future will count one after another. Except for Industrial Light and Magic, which is backed by the extremely powerful Disney father, and Weta Digital, which is strongly supported by the New Zealand government, the rest are basically the same. It is bankrupt, or is about to go bankrupt.

There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that there is too much investment in special effects. Once they cannot continue to receive orders, the huge expenditure will bring down these companies.

It was under such circumstances that the second largest special effects company in the previous life, Digital Domain, was resold repeatedly and finally almost disappeared.

Yin Jun has made extreme preparations to spend 1 billion US dollars every year for 50 years.

So he needs to make money more than others think.

The Christmas Creek Iron Mine in Western Australia, which has now taken the first step to success, in Yin Jun's opinion, is not a good way to make money at all.

yes.

In the future, the price of iron ore will soar from the current US$20 per ton to US$200, but that will be 30 years from now.

Besides, that is the highest price set by the three major iron ore groups. With Yin Jun's character, how could he sell such expensive iron ore to his motherland?

Doesn't this completely violate his original intention?

Therefore, for iron ore, it is enough to maintain a profit of about 20% and a steady flow of water.

The real place to make money in 30 years will naturally be online commerce. If Google, Amazon, Taobao, JD.com, and SF Express join together, they will definitely be invincible. Maybe they can dominate the world and achieve true global commerce unification!

At that time, 10 billion US dollars are spent on the film industry every year, and Yin Jun will not even blink an eyelid.

But that is a beautiful thing that will only happen twenty or thirty years later.

What is the best business to do in the world today?

Of course it’s computers and mobile phones!

In terms of computers, Kirin Computer is still a bit weak. It can only buy various parts and assemble them, and then buy Microsoft's operating system. It is purely an assembly company with no core technology.

However, Mr. Michael Dell has become one of the top five super rich people in the United States just by relying on such a computer assembly company. The Kirin Computer does not surpass Dell, which is simply an insult to Yin Jun's status as a time traveler.

Apart from computers, mobile phones are the strength of Kirin Group.

After purchasing, licensing, independent research and development, etc., Kirin Communications Company already owns more than 20% of the patents for mobile phones sold today. This number of patents is enough to free them from the constraints and develop and sell mobile phones by themselves.

Technology giants such as Motorola, Philips, Ericsson, Nokia, and Texas Instruments will not fall out with Kirin Communications.

Because it is difficult for them to bypass Kirin Communication's patent, everyone can only negotiate and pay the patent fee, and then each can make money based on his or her own skills.

Therefore, after searching and comparing, Singtel finally chose Kirin Communications' solution and entrusted Kirin Communications to build a complete set of mobile cellular communication equipment for Singapore.

Well, Kirin Communication’s quotation is US$1.2 billion, which is very high, and the actual cost is less than US$300 million.

But do you know how much Motorola is offering?

3 billion.

US dollars.

Ericsson is a little gentler, only 2.5 billion US dollars.

Apart from Kirin Communications, the cheapest one is Siemens, at US$1.8 billion, but they force the next generation upgrade to use their products - this condition has been met by European and American companies.

Only Qilin Communications did not make such a request. It would pay 1.2 billion U.S. dollars for a lump sum and receive nothing from the rest. You can find whoever you want next time.

Singapore is not yet the super little bug that got rich by relying on various speculations after 2000. They are still in the development stage and save as much as they can.

Therefore, even if they know that Qilin Group belongs to Yin Jun and Yin Jun's position is completely different from theirs, they can only choose the cheapest Qilin Communication.

What Singapore didn't know was that after the first $600 million was received, Kirin Communications sent the money to Motorola companies in proportion to the patent, spending a total of $300 million.

This is why companies like Motorola did not lower prices and engage in price wars.

No matter who among them is going to do the project, their share of the patent fees is indispensable.

If you take on this project yourself, you will naturally earn more, but companies such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson are now busy building a solid foundation in their own countries. Where can they find the time to come to your small remote Asian country to do it?

In fact, if Kirin Communications raises its price a little bit, Singapore will probably accept it with gritted teeth.

It's just that Le Yiling, who was in charge of the negotiations, had some cooperation intentions with Temasek recently, so he didn't ask for a high price for the sake of his side.

Yin Jun didn't care about this.

There are many opportunities to clean up Singapore, and this one is not missing.

Maybe being friendly to Singapore now will make them relax their vigilance, and then you can identify the opportunity and give them a big blow. That would be refreshing.

The engineering team of Kirin Communications has just completed building a communication network in Xiangjiang. Now they have another opportunity to display their skills. They can continue to hone their skills and discuss the pros and cons. Naturally, they are very happy.

Following Yin Jun's instructions, they seriously started working on basic network facilities on Singapore Island.

The network signal towers are still ordered from the mainland. They are not as dense as Xiangjiang, but they are definitely usable.

After all, this is also the testing ground for Kirin Communications. The experience of success and failure will be beneficial to the next overall communication network.

Also, it’s my first time doing outside business, and now that I have a brand, wouldn’t it be easier to get jobs?

After more than half a year, finally on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year this year, Singapore Telecom officially launched cellular mobile phone operations.

When it comes to mobile phones, Kirin Communications is not soft-hearted. It sets the frequency and standard that are most suitable for Kirin mobile phones.

In other words, only Kirin mobile phones can achieve the best signal effect. Even if Motorola comes, the signal is only half, and the other party may not be able to hear you even if you yell.

Singapore Telecom understands this, but everyone does it anyway, so it can only buy all Kirin phones.

The selling price of Kirin mobile phones in Xiangjiang is 8,888 US dollars. However, the basic selling price for external sales, such as the American Cable and Telephone Company, is US$2,000, which is almost twice as expensive.

So the price given to Singapore Telecom is also the same.

But Singtel is ruthless enough. After they get the phone for US$2,000, they resell it for US$3,000, and they have to pay strict monthly usage fees.

Unexpectedly, before the Chinese New Year in January, the number of reservations exceeded 50,000, which really surprised Kirin Communications.

You know, it has been more than a year since Xiangjiang opened its mobile communication network on January 1, 1983, and the number of users has only just exceeded 50,000. Xiangjiang Telephone is still losing money to the point of tears.

Singapore is better off, with pre-sales reaching 50,000. After the official launch in the past two days, seeing how advanced and stylish the phone was, the total number of people who bought it directly exceeded 80,000.

Calculated according to the ordinary model, in the next year, the number of mobile phone users in Singapore will definitely exceed 200,000!

Good guy, such a small country is really rich!

Although more than 10,000 of them were purchased by government units, they are now richer than those in Xiangjiang, which makes the people in Xiangjiang envious.

Singapore, which has never engaged in real estate speculation, has not fallen into the vortex of real estate downturn at all. Naturally, it now has the capital to say that it is much happier than Hong Kong.

According to the information sent back from Singapore, both the communication quality and the network connection speed have reached the standard, and can have at least 70% of the effect of landline calls.

That's enough.

There are now more first-generation communication signal towers in Hong Kong than in Singapore, but the call quality is not as good as that in Singapore.

The second-generation signal transmitting and receiving towers that use many new technologies have a different effect. Even if the density is reduced by 10%, it can still be sufficient for signal use.

Just from the communication network laid out in this way, Kirin Communications made a huge profit of 600 million US dollars. Such income made Le Yiling feel comfortable, but at the same time, she was naturally worried about the upgrading of the next generation communication network.

"What do you think we will do if others see us making money and come to grab our business when the next generation of technology matures?" she asked Yin Jun.

"How can it be so easy?" Yin Jun smiled. He knew that Sister Le did not understand technology, "Real upgrading is the kind you understand, sister, where all technologies are replaced and upgraded. 10 Probably once a year! Then the rest of the small updates are actually fine-tuning upgrades of dozens of patented technologies.

For such an upgrade, we don't have to tear it down and start over. We just need to make some additions based on the existing ones. ...In other words, most of these equipment can still be used. We only need to spend tens of millions of dollars to replace the parts that need to be replaced and add the components that need to be added, which is enough. "

"I understand." A smart person like Le Yiling understood immediately, "In other words, if they continue to use our equipment, they will most likely be able to complete an upgrade with only one to two billion US dollars. And if they use someone else’s, they have to tear it all down and start over again, and then they have to add the billions of dollars they spent before?”

"Is such that!"

Yin Jun nodded.

"Then there's no problem." Le Yiling smiled happily, "Two to three hundred million US dollars is still a little less... Well, let's add a little more! The next time it is updated, it cannot be less than 400 million US dollars!"

"OK!"

Regarding this point, Yin Jun couldn't wait to raise his hands and thumbs up in agreement.
