Chapter 1074 The Era of Pagers!

Two days later.

The time came to December 29, 1985.

There are only two days left until 1986.

In the past two days, Thaxin has been discussing cooperation with the Imperial Group cabinet and Imperial Games, as well as the introduction of Imperial Group game products.

besides.

Ta Xin has also been traveling around Hong Kong.

He found that the development and changes in Xiangjiang were very rapid. He had not felt this when he came to Xiangjiang before, but this time he really felt it clearly.

Today is Sunday.

Yingla did not accompany Yang Ming back to the Empire State Building.

Instead, he accompanied his second brother Ta Xin outside Xiangjiang.

"Second brother, how are you talking with the Imperial Group? And are you representing yourself or the Shinawatra Group?"

The Shinawatra family, or Shinawatra group, is a very large group, with more than a hundred direct members. If Thaksin came on behalf of the Shinawatra family, then it was the Shinawatra Group that cooperated with the Imperial Group.

If it was Taxin himself who negotiated with the Imperial Group, then Taxin himself would continue to open his own company.

"Sister, I represent both the Shinawatra family and myself. This time, I am able to cooperate with the Imperial Group because I was the first to propose that my father and uncle have agreed that I will hold 65% of the newly established company. The family holds 35% of the shares, mainly because they are afraid that I will continue to lose money in business.”

Yingla already understood.

In Ying La and Ta Xin, one of the busiest streets in Causeway Bay, the brother and sister saw many people and nothing but the beeping sound of things, and then they hurried to the phone booth nearby to make a call.

"Second brother, do you see them?"

"I'll ask."

When Thaxin went over to ask the phone booth owner.

"Sir, this is our most popular BB machine in Hong Kong now."

BB machine?

In fact, it is a pager.

The BB machine, also known as a wireless pager, was first born in China.

However, commercial use really started in the 1970s.

BB machines became popular in Hong Kong in the 1980s.

Like many movies in Hong Kong, scenes of BB cameras often appear in them, precisely because BB cameras have begun to enter prime time in Hong Kong at this time.

Two years ago, although Motorola had begun to produce the first commercial mobile phone, commonly known as a mobile phone, this mobile phone was not only bulky but also expensive. In the country of M, one unit cost several thousand dollars. In Hong Kong, it is even more expensive. It takes tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to get it.

The BB machine is much cheaper.

Especially with the development of BB machines, the price of BB machines in Xiangjiang has also dropped a lot.

Nowadays, there are more and more companies in this field in Hong Kong. Not only the price of BB machines has dropped, but also the monthly fees have gradually begun to drop.

BB machine?

Taxin was indeed a little surprised.

After getting advice from the phone booth owner, Taxin and Yingla went to a pager shop. Here, they saw BB machines produced by various companies for sale.

However, most of the functions, only the function of calling information, do not seem to be of much use.

After reading it, Taxin was a little disappointed and found that compared with even mobile phones, it was still much worse.

However, he knew that if these were introduced to Siam, it might be really good.

"Second brother, do you want to buy it?" Yingla asked.

"Buy a Taiwan, I'll go back and do some research."

Thaxin is a smart man, he can still see the function and function of this BB machine.

When Thaxin spent almost 2,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a BB machine produced by Motorola, and then followed the store owner's reminder and paid the monthly rent, he could use it.

"Yingla, I am in Xiangjiang during this period, so I will use this BB phone to contact you."

. . .

Ta Xin and Ying La walked around Causeway Bay for a long time.

That night.

Thaxin decided to stay at the Imperial Hotel.

Ying La took the car back to the Repulse Bay mid-level villa.

Yang Ming did not go out today.

"Yingla, did you enjoy going out with your second brother today?"

"Mr. Yang, I went to Causeway Bay and saw many people carrying BB cameras with them."

BB machine?

Of course Yang Ming knew.

Yang Ming even noticed it in the 1970s.

For ordinary people, this thing is indeed very majestic and face-saving in this era, but for a person of Yang Ming's status, it is of no use.

Normally, he has a fixed phone at home and at work, and a car phone in the car. After Motorola's mobile phones became commercially available, Yang Ming could even afford a mobile phone. This type of BB phone became popular in Hong Kong, but he was not interested.

in history.

Yang Ming knew that after Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Communications initially started operating as a pager company.

In addition to Li Jiacheng's Hutchison Whampoa, the Zheng family's New World Telecommunications Company also developed from a pager company.

Yes, Hutchison Whampoa is now acquired by Empire Group.

The Imperial Group itself acquired the Xiangjiang Telephone Company and the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Group. The communications industry in Xiangjiang has been monopolized by the Imperial Group.

As for pagers, Yang Ming knew that, whether in Hong Kong or in China, they had only been popular for ten years at most, and were soon replaced by mobile phones.

Even then, there is still such a pager company under the Imperial Group.

"Do you like BB machines?" Yang Ming asked.

"I don't like it. The beeping sound is too noisy. My second brother bought one and said he would use it to communicate with me."

Yang Ming smiled after hearing this.

Historically, Thaksin became the richest man in Siam by joining Siam Telecom, and then became the prime minister of Siam.

It seems that Thaksin in this world is still developing along the original path.

. . .

Early the next morning.

Today is December 30, 1985.

Monday.

The weather outside is a bit cold, Yang Ming just got up for a walk, and did not swim for exercise.

After he finished his walk, he accompanied Yang Jirong and his wife for breakfast.

Learned from the newspapers.

The supercomputer software company that now monopolizes the global operating system will be listed on the two major stock exchanges in Hong Kong and New York on January 2, 1986.

Among them, the supercomputer software company will be the first company to be listed on the Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange.

Originally, the supercomputer software company has long attracted the attention of many capitals and investors, and the boss of this company is Yang Ming.

Now, it is actually going to be listed in two places at the same time. This news still attracts a lot of attention.

There is no doubt.

This is definitely one of the largest IPO companies in New York and even the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year.

"Peter, is your company going public?" Yang Jirong asked.

"Yes, Daddy."

This company has only been in development for a few years. Now, its annual profit has exceeded 100 million US dollars. It is a very promising company in terms of market and development prospects.

Therefore, this company has not yet started to go public, and it is destined to attract the attention of global capital.
