Chapter 734 Mobile Phone?

Naturally, Jian Wenle did not agree to Yin Jun on the spot. For such a big matter as changing jobs, he still needed to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons.

But he still admires and looks forward to Yin Jun's planning and imagination. He feels that Yin Jun's place is the future of the computer world, which is more than ten times better than the rigid development of the computer company of Dadong Telegraph Bureau.

Yin Jun gave him enough time to think about it, and just asked him to give an answer before the New Year.

According to Yin Jun's way of looking at people, Jian Wenle would definitely be willing to come over.

Even if Jian Wenle doesn't want to come over, there are so many people making computer software in Xiangjiang. What they lack now is a direction, not how much their skills are inferior to others.

As long as Yin Jun shows them the direction and then convenes a group of computer elites to do it, it will be easy to get the software they want, at least the Chinese pager without any problems.

After making a Chinese pager, Yin Jun mainly uses it for his own people. On the other hand, if appropriate, he can also commission production like Apple and sell it in large quantities to Chinese-speaking areas such as Xiangjiang, Baodao, Singapore, and Malaysia. people.

I dare not say too much, but a total sales volume of 10 million units is possible.

This is because the Chinese market has not been opened, otherwise the sales volume of 100 million will not be able to stop it at all.

I remember that the pager business in China was only launched in Shanghai in 1984, and then it took about 90 years to develop in those big cities, and reached its peak in 1995-2000, covering almost all cities in China. Fourth-tier and above cities.

Therefore, Yin Jun could not think too far. He could just patent the Chinese pager software and then become a simple pager supplier without having to participate in operations.

The most important thing is to train the teams of computer companies and let them get used to developing these useful software, so that they can be one step ahead and make better software than foreign countries.

However, the most troublesome thing here is not how to make good software, but how to make good software carriers.

The carrier refers to what is commonly known as the operating system.

Now Apple Computer has its own operating system, but Qiao Gangzhu has chosen to close the ecological chain since he founded the company. Unless you have their company's consent, you must only operate on their company's operating system. , and you have to pay a certain fee, you can't use Apple's operating system.

In the computer industry, Apple's closed operating system proved to be a failure. Even if they later successfully counterattacked with smartphones, they could not hide their current failure.

In terms of computer operating systems, Microsoft is the unique overlord. After the release of the WINDOWS system, it will be the true era of a hundred flowers blooming, and the coming of spring for many software development companies!

But it is a pity that WINDOWS 1.0 will not be released until 1985, and it will have to wait until 1995 for WINDOWS 95, which will dominate the world and make opponents despair.

However, in fact, this year, Bill Gates has purchased the original code of the WINDOWS system. Although this is in DOS mode, subsequent WINDOWS systems were all developed on this mode.

If they were allowed to develop step by step, it would be too late for Yin Jun to release WINDOWS 1.0 in 1985. The next time he goes to the United States, he can seriously discuss investment and strengthening technology development with them.

Since Yin Jun knew the steps of Microsoft and knew that the WINDOWS system that Microsoft relied on to start a family and dominate the world was bought, why didn't he step in and develop this system himself?

it's actually really easy.

The most important reason is not that Yin Jun is unwilling to do it, but that he cannot do it.

At first, Yin Jun's energy was all in Xiangjiang, and there was no way to distract himself from getting a computer operating system. After all, the financial and material resources needed to get such an operating system were staggering.

The second reason is that the WINDOWS system can only appear in the United States, so that it can have the best development prospects and spread more smoothly around the world.

Let alone Xiangjiang, even the United Kingdom would not be able to achieve such good development, let alone a small place like Xiangjiang. People can use the excuse of national security to kill this software.

Besides, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to make all the money.

Therefore, Yin Jun chose to join in when the time comes, follow Bill Gates, and enjoy the various benefits brought by Microsoft. This is enough.

I remember that in more than a year, Paul Allen will leave Microsoft due to serious illness. At that time, it will be Yin Jun's best opportunity to obtain Microsoft shares.

But Yin Jun has to give some advice to Microsoft a little earlier. He can't wait five years to use the WINDOWS 1.0 system. The sooner his Kirin Computer Company becomes proficient in using the WINDOWS system to develop and produce software, the better it will be. good.

Leaving aside this goal, what Yin Jun thinks of more at this time is the terminal of pagers - mobile phones.

Mobile phones have been developed for many years now.

However, it would take more than two years for it to be used in large-scale commercial applications. Motorola would not launch the first mobile phone for sale until 1983, which was commonly known as a brick phone.

It would be another year before Nokia launched its first box-like phone.

It’s not a long time since mobile phones started operating in Xiangjiang.

In 1985, Li Chaoren's Hutchison Telecommunications entered into a joint venture with Motorola to launch cellular phone services in Hong Kong. Since then, Hong Kong has entered the era of mobile phone communications, and the Big Brother we see in the movie appeared.

In mainland China, cellular mobile communication services were launched in eastern Guangdong in 1987. Since then, mobile phones have been officially used, but it will take at least five or six years before they become popular.

But here’s an interesting fact. The Mobile Phone used by mainland Chinese in the 1990s was actually two different mobile phones from the one in Xiangjiang. The one in Xiangjiang was larger than the one in the Mainland, and its functions were much worse. After all, it was the 1980s. The product.

Yin Jun has no interest in getting involved with products like pagers that are destined to be weak. However, for products like mobile phones that will continue to be used in the future and have led several industrial and technological revolutions, they can even be said to be necessities of life. However, Yin Jun will never let it go.

Yin Jun did not plan and actively participate before. The reason was actually that his own foundation was not solid. The most important TV stations, film companies, and newspapers were not stable. How could he attack in many aspects and concentrate on mobile phone projects? ?

Even now, Yin Jun saw the arrival of the pager and the mobile phone was already ready for use. He had to finish the movie in his hand first.

After all, film and entertainment is Yin Jun's favorite career.

But this does not prevent Yin Jun from starting to make plans now.

Taking the history book of mobile phone development that he had written before, Yin Jun began to perfect the details again.

Mobile phones are very patented and involve thousands of technologies. If you want to join this industry and not be excluded by it, you must have your own unique technology. Only by exchanging and sharing technology with other companies can we make our own mobile phones.

Otherwise, if you don’t give me the technology, I won’t give you the patent, and no one will do it, and no one will be able to play.

Companies in Europe and the United States don't like this kind of irresponsible behavior. They usually choose to compromise and then everyone gets rich together. Yin Jun likes this habit very much.

So, where can we get the patented technology for mobile phones?

Yin Jun wrote down the names of several companies on the plan.

Motorola, Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, Philips, Texas Instruments, Samsung.

There are many companies that own mobile phone patents, but the most important ones are the seven companies mentioned above.

Since commercial mobile phones have not yet begun to be used, everyone has great doubts about the functions, costs, promotion, etc. of mobile phones. This is the best time for Yin Jun to purchase technology patents on a large scale.

In fact, the reason why Motorola has not commercialized mobile phones for so many years is because their internal discussions are very fierce.

Even Motorola, which invented the cellular phone, is like this, let alone other electronic communications companies.

In this case, if there is a villain who wants to spend a lot of money to buy some patents, or obtain the right to use patents, then most of these companies will not refuse.

Even if their awareness of patent protection is very good, Yin Jun still has many ways to deal with it.

For example, some very small companies actually have one or two patents in their hands. If they entrust a consulting company to acquire them, if they add up to more, there will be no problem with two to three hundred patents.

Then there is the appearance patent design, which is Yin Jun's strength. Yin Jun can draw any mobile phone, Nokia 3210, Motorola 998 and other models, and then submit them to the world to apply for patents.

At that time, Yin Jun will have the capital to bargain with them. At least, he will have the foundation to survive in the mobile phone industry.

After the patent issue, the boy wrote down the second key point on the paper.

The motherboard integrates the substrate chip, or it is an all-in-one solution for mobile phones.

Thanks to the domestic copycat mobile phones, the first mobile phone Yin Jun used was a copycat phone that cost more than 100 yuan. In terms of the function of making calls, it was really good.

So Yin Jun also knows what an integrated mobile phone solution is.

As long as the substrate of the mobile phone can be solved, there will be no problem in producing mobile phones.

But it's not that easy now.

Today, Motorola's first mobile phone ancestor is still terrifyingly bulky, with no concept of a mobile phone substrate at all.

The emergence of mobile phone motherboard chips condenses the basic components of mobile phones, including semiconductors, audio, software, etc., into a substrate smaller than a palm and less than one centimeter thick.

But these important components now are simply too big to be condensed into small ones, so the all-in-one solution for mobile phone motherboards will have to wait a long time.

Relevant electronic component manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments, Philips, Intel and other companies, must make these components smaller and more powerful, in order to finally promote the emergence of integrated motherboard solutions for mobile phones.

Basically, within ten years, Yin Jun should not think about it anymore.

Before 1990, making mobile phones like Motorola 338 and Nokia 8810 was something that Yin Jun had to spend a lot of effort and money to achieve.

The third point is that Yin Jun writes about factory production.

This is relatively simple. When Nokia first started, it jointly established a mobile phone factory for one of the top three mobile phone electronics chain stores in the United States, specially customized mobile phones for them, and sold them in their chain stores in the United States.

As long as the conditions given by Yin Jun are suitable and the benefits are sufficient, Nokia will definitely be able to cooperate with Kirin Group.

The fourth point is that Yin Jun writes about sales operations.

Selling is actually very simple, just like Motorola and Nokia. As long as it is a good mobile phone, it can be sold.

But in terms of operation, it is a bit tricky.

It is absolutely impossible for Yin Jun to set up tens of thousands of sales stores around the world like Nokia and Motorola. This is a huge waste of manpower and material resources.

He prefers Apple's sales model, but today's mobile phones may be as high-quality as Apple's, so Yin Jun temporarily decided not to set up a specialty store at all.

As for whether to join the camp of mobile network operators, Yin Jun has never thought about it.

Even a company as awesome as Apple is only engaged in model sales and software services, and does not dare to engage in communication networks. This shows how powerful those communication operators are.

It’s not the super local snakes in this country, or directly state-owned enterprises, there is no way for others to build these communication networks. If it were you, your communication network would be controlled by others, how could you feel at ease?

The fifth point, Yin Jun writes about after-sales service.

First of all, Yin Jun needs to make the mobile phone as durable as Nokia to reduce the chance of breakage.

And just in case, the after-sales service point must do a good job.

But the problem is that mobile phones are a new gadget to everyone. How could it be that after 2000, mobile phone repair shops were everywhere in the streets?

But it’s good to have a reference.

Apple has very few repair points, because they adopt the method of replacing the phone with a new one within a year. If your phone is broken, you can just take it and replace it with a new one.

Although this adds a lot of cost, it saves a lot of time in after-sales maintenance, and by doing this, Yin Jun can buy more time to train maintenance personnel. ——It will be replaced and repaired within one year, but you can’t say you don’t care about the repairs after one year, right? This is a profitable repair service!

Think about Apple’s eye-popping component prices. Who dares to say that they are not blatantly making money?

…

For now, all Yin Jun can think of are these five points.

Although it will take at least one or two years to fully complete these steps, once you have goals and plans, you will definitely be able to do things faster and more accurately.

I just don’t know, after a big crocodile like Yin Jun enters the market, will the mobile phone industry in the future be like the situation in the previous life?
