    As we drove to the industrial park management center, we saw Mao Xiuliang, CEO of Taiyu Technology, standing downstairs with a group of people from a distance, coming up to us.  The attitude shown by the other party gave Giles some comfort in his hurt heart.  ¡°At least the other party still respects Motorola¡¯s position in the communications field and is not arrogant because it has a more advanced technology.  In this case, Giles cannot appear too arrogant.  Emotions are emotions, work is work, he has always made a clear distinction on this point.  He immediately asked the driver to stop the car more than ten meters away from the other party, then opened the door, tried his best to put a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted him.  The translator hired from the University of Hong Kong trotted after him.  Mao Xiuliang still has that kind smile. His slightly chubby face looks very similar to the Buddha in Eastern religions. They all have round faces and a pleasant smile.  The two held hands tightly together and smiled knowingly, just like good friends who have worked together for many years.  "Mr. Mao, there's something I don't quite understand. Why did we meet here twice and not at your company's headquarters? Didn't you buy a building in Yau Tong and use it as your headquarters? Why aren't we here?  Instead of talking about it here?" Giles looked around and asked this question that he had been wondering about for a long time.  Yesterday¡¯s press conference was held here to show off the new industrial park to the media. It was normal. But today, when formal negotiations were about to begin, he was a little surprised that it was still held here.  "Hahahaha! Mr. Giles is indeed very attentive," Mao Xiuliang laughed, "Mr. Giles, don't you think it's very quiet here? You also know what crazy creatures reporters are, they will do anything for news.  Extremely. The decoration of Taiyu headquarters is okay, but it can be seen clearly from the outside. Our meeting is about the cooperation between the two companies. I can¡¯t stand it if I am chased by reporters every day!¡± The translator stuck beside him and whispered!  Translating Mao Xiuliang's words.  "That's true! The madness shown by reporters yesterday was really scary." Giles accepted his explanation with a smile.  The industrial park has a gate system and security guards on patrol. It is not easy for reporters to sneak in and grab exclusive news.  Since new arcade machines no longer use Motorola processors, reporters have never stopped harassing Motorola¡¯s representatives in Hong Kong.  Giles was also deeply affected by this. As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, he was followed by reporters and asked semi-forced questions and interviews, which made him extremely disturbed.  He looked at the flow of people, and when he saw other people, he just nodded and smiled from a distance, then consciously stepped aside and did not get close to eavesdrop on the conversation. He was very satisfied with the environment and the quality of the personnel here.  Being able to have a relatively undisturbed place and negotiate slowly will make you feel much better.  "The other reason why we came down to greet you is to ask Mr. Giles to actually try out our wireless communication phone." Before Giles could fully relax, the translator translated Mao Xiuliang's next sentence.  , reached his ears, and he jumped up immediately.  "What? You have already created a real object!" Giles said in shock.  The translator was as shocked as he was, so much so that when he translated English into Chinese, he stammered, but he expressed his surprised tone vividly.  There are many exclusive nouns when it comes to electronic content in English, and it is not possible to just find someone who understands English to be a qualified translator.  He is a professor of the newly established electronics major at the University of Hong Kong. The textbooks are original European and American textbooks, so he is naturally no stranger to this field.  After being hired, he checked a lot of information, and he was very clear about the bottlenecks that restricted the realization of digital mobile communication technology.  In his view, the United States is the strongest in the global electronics field, followed by Europe, Japan and South Korea, and China can be described as lagging behind.  It is true that portable recorders and arcade machines are very popular, but it is just a sudden idea. With this idea, anyone can come up with a product that is better than the Big 6.  Even Europe and the United States cannot produce physical prototypes, but Taiyu Technology can produce them. How is this possible?  Seeing their shocked expressions, Mao Xiuliang felt extremely happy.  "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. He can become Guan Fei's trusted guard squad soldier. Naturally, all his ideas are similar to Guan Fei's.  Even though there were some differences in the past, I have been influenced by Guan Fei for a long time, so I naturally accepted his ideas and became a staunch nationalist.  ¡°Coming to Hong Kong with Guan Fei really broadened my horizons and made me understand the country¡¯s current position among the world¡¯s nations.  As far as developing countries are concerned, it is globally recognized that China is a well-deserved powerful country.  But is that just enough? ?  of course not!  Although Chinese people are naturally reserved, almost to the point of restraint, they are always very humble when dealing with others.  But from a personal perspective, the Chinese are actually the most proud nation in the world.  In the hearts of Chinese people, there is always a dream of a great country!  This dream of a great power is by no means a great power of the same level as others, but an ardent expectation to surpass all other countries and become the most powerful country irrefutably!  Under this kind of expectation, the eyes of Chinese people always look upward and never look down.  Whoever is ahead of us is the one we chase; as for who is worse than us, no one cares.  This has resulted in the fact that in the eyes of the Chinese people, there have always been only two concepts: China and foreign countries: as long as there are technologies and products that are not available in China, they are made by the guys called "foreign countries". This must be a good thing, and we must also have it.  , and even better than "foreign countries".  As for what we have but "foreign countries" don't have, isn't this a matter of course!  Because we are a country in the middle!  We must and will become the center of the future world, so that this name deserves its name. This is the mission of genius!  Failure to complete is a failure!  So in the early days of arriving in Hong Kong, when they saw the shortcomings of the country called "foreign country", Mao Xiuliang and other security guards were so sad that they wanted to cry. They couldn't accept this fact, and they felt very painful mentally.  Just when they were about to despair due to disappointment, and because of despair, they went from one nationalist to another extreme, turning into national negationists, and began to deny the superiority of their own race, it was Guan Fei who gave them confidence again.  The same arcade machine cannot be cracked by the top foreign manufacturers and programmers. They can only turn to fully accepting Taiyu Technology¡¯s hardware environment, copy the game software, and then launch almost identical arcade machines to compete with Taiyu Technology for market share.  It turns out that the other party is not a polite gentleman. It turns out that we are also very strong!  Seeing that Guan Fei wrote the game software casually, but it took other competitors more than a year to crack it, their unbalanced emotions regained balance.  In the face of the facts, they recognized what Guan Fei said, "As long as our accumulation is deep enough, we will have what others have, and we will be better than them! We can also have what others don't have, and let others learn from us!"  ¡± The introduction of portable recorders further confirmed their view.  Just like the arcade machine, Taiyu Technology first realized the portable recorder and then launched it on the market, and received generous returns.  And other rivals, including European and American electronics giants, can only follow Taiyu Technology to grab food.  This makes them feel proud. They no longer think that they are inherently inferior to others. They agree that we just came out later than others. We started hundreds of years later than others, and the accumulation of infrastructure and technical talents is not deep enough.  Once enough is accumulated and both sides stand on the same level, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose!  Under Guan Fei's psychological construction, they re-established their confidence, and their desire to return to the prosperous days of the Han and Tang Dynasties became stronger.  When electronics giants like Motorola are afraid of choosing between easy and difficult, they dare not touch digital mobile communication technology, and develop analog technology that is easier to implement, but they have just bit the hard nut of digital mobile technology and are the first to launch physical products.  When he built the prototype, he felt extremely happy.  In his mind, the question "Can we do it?" finally turned into "We can do it!" Seeing the dumbfounded looks of Giles and others, he felt extremely proud and proud of being a member of the Chinese nation for the first time.  pride.  With a bit of relief and a bit of joy, he suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes.  He was afraid that he would shed tears, so he squeezed his eyes hard, then waved his hand back and said with a slight nasal voice: "This is just a laboratory product. There are only two in total at the moment. One is kept in the laboratory for further trial, and the other is  Send it here and ask our partners to believe in our technical strength. Xiao Liu, bring the things up and ask Mr. Giles to correct them!" The staff who followed him, holding the prototype, faced the world.  The representative of one of the largest electronics giants had a look of astonishment and pride. He stepped forward with his chest straightened out, handed over an undecorated white cardboard box, and whispered one word: "Please!" Giles  At this time, I was completely confused, and I was completely unaware of their expressions. I just felt that my brain was in a trance, and I reached out to take the carton and opened it.  Inside the carton, on a foam cushion, lies a small gadget.  This is what Guan Feijiao¡¯s information says, a handheld mobile phone called PHS.Talk!  The first thing Giles felt was how light it was.  You know, it is also a prototype. The first prototype based on simulation technology launched by Motorola has a total weight of three pounds, which is 1.5 kilograms.  With such a weight, an ordinary urbanite would feel weak and weak if he held it up to his ear and made phone calls for two or three minutes.  After another eight years of efforts to lose weight, the final model of the analog mobile phone that was originally planned to be launched still weighs two pounds and feels heavy in the hand!  This is the greatest achievement of all the researchers¡¯ efforts.  However, this mobile phone called PHS feels light and weightless in the hand. Including the carton and plastic foam cushion, the total weight is definitely only 300 grams, which is less than one-third of an analog mobile phone.  arrive!  Its appearance size is also much smaller than that of analog mobile phones. It is about fifteen to eighteen centimeters long, about five centimeters wide, and less than four centimeters thick, so it can be held with one hand.  And when not in use, you can put it in your coat pocket or trouser pocket.  Thinking of their own analog mobile phones, which they had to hold in their hands and carry with them wherever they went, Giles suddenly felt that this was so silly.  The price they have proposed for the analog mobile phone is US$4,000 per unit, and the final price is expected to be a little less to limit it to less than US$4,000 to make it feel cheaper for users.  ¡° Users who can afford a $4,000 mobile phone will definitely have a high income, and the target group is high-income white-collar workers.  But for a successful man, he is holding a phone that is too big and thick to carry in his pocket, and he carries it wherever he goes. This situation makes him feel stupid.  How stupid a designer would be to think that this kind of mobile phone would be loved by successful people!  If there is no comparison before, he will think that a brick-sized mobile phone that can be displayed in front of others is a status symbol.  But once he saw the prototype made by Taiyu Technology with his own eyes, and then thought about the silly, big, black and thick appearance of the one his company launched, he felt his face get hot.  The gap was so big that he didn¡¯t even have the courage to say a good word for his company.  The talent gap between the two sides is not only the difference in weight and size, but also the appearance design.  The analog mobile phone produced by the company is really boxy and rectangular with sharp edges and corners. It is absolutely correct to say that it is a brick.  But this PHS phone has a silver plastic casing, which looks shiny and metallic, like a handicraft.  Although the phone is also rectangular as a whole, the upper part is slightly larger, the lower part is slightly narrower, and the four corners are arc-shaped, forming a slight visual difference between the upper and lower parts. This difference makes the phone more flexible and less rigid.  ??And the display of the analog mobile phone they are planning to launch uses photodiodes, which can only display Arabic numerals, and looks like a scientific instrument.  But this PHS uses a small strip-shaped LCD screen. In addition to numbers, it can also display two lines of English, which suddenly raises its grade by a level.  He hasn't actually used it yet, but just by looking at the appearance, he feels that his own product is simply not an order of magnitude rival compared to it.  With two mobile phones side by side, if anyone would choose an analog phone, it would definitely be a killer who is ready to take revenge. He will approach with this thing and hit the opponent's sap with it. Others will not be alert easily!  Failure, this is an all-round failure!  Seeing his absent-minded look, with his face turning red and green for a while, Mao Xiuliang felt so happy. For a moment, he was so childlike that he stabbed him in the heart again: "When the things were delivered, the chairman said, in order to rush  To let you see the real thing and confirm the practicality of PHS technology, we further decomposed the decoding circuit into ten integrated circuits. As a result, the phone is 70 grams heavier than the design weight, reaching 265 grams.  , Oh, by the way, you in the United States use the imperial system. Let me do the math and see how much one hundred and sixty-five grams is converted into the imperial system." "It should be nine ounces, which is equivalent to one thousand two hundred carats!" Giles' eyes widened!  Wu Shen, after hearing him muttering there, reported the accurate conversion result in one breath.  When he spoke, although he was still confused, he woke up from his absent-minded state.  He also saw Mao Xiuliang's triumphant look, but at the moment he didn't care about arguing with the other party. He picked up the key technical indicators: "What is the capacity of this battery? How long is the standby time, and most importantly, how long is the talk time?"  "Mao Xiuliang is the general manager after all. When people asked about the performance indicators seriously, he put away his pride and said seriously: "This mobile phone only has ten milliwatts of power, so it saves a lot of power.  It is equipped with a popular chromium-nickel battery with a capacity of 350 mAh and a standby time of?? Between thirty-five hours and one hundred hours, the continuous call time is about one hour and forty minutes.  Originally, if we used nickel-metal hydride batteries, they would be lighter and could be recharged more often, but the cost would be slightly higher and our profits would decrease.  Therefore, the chairman suggested using this kind of battery temporarily to leave room for upgrade in the future.¡± ¡°Very good suggestion, I completely agree!  "Giles also seemed to have recognized the reality, with a look of recognition and satisfaction. He was obviously very happy with Guan Fei's suggestion. As a capitalist, he will not provide the best things, but will only satisfy the needs of customers.  Providing the most profitable products and then providing a variety of new products to the market through continuous upgrades can satisfy users' pursuit of innovation and make more money. This is the kind of skill that all companies must have to launch a product.  , a fool who never replaces it for the rest of his life will only be eliminated by the market. After some conversation, Giles put aside his previous frustration and entered into working mode. He quickly checked the phone and found that the battery was gone!  After connecting it, there seemed to be no other accessories, and then he asked in a questioning tone: "Only this phone?  The supporting base station and so on, I mean, can I try it out now?  "    "no problem!  " Mao Xiuliang snapped his fingers excitedly: "I guessed that you would have this proposal.  It happens that the park uses internal program-controlled telephones, so we set up a demonstration sample in the park in advance, which consists of a switch, a control computer, and a base station. We also assigned a number to this phone.  This place is just within the signal range. Mr. Giles can now make direct outside calls and try to see if he can talk to the outside. By the way, I remind you that to make an outside call from the park, you must first dial 9!  "    "no problem!  " Giles is also a veteran in the industry and understands it immediately. Under Mao Xiuliang's instructions, he long pressed the power button and turned on the power switch of the mobile phone. After the long startup screen passed, he saw the signal strength on the LCD screen.  Full mark, then he pressed the number key 9, and then quickly pressed a long number. This call was not for someone else, but the current CEO of Motorola. He heard it with his ear.  The long tone meant that it was connected, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel so excited that my heart was about to jump out of my chest! This was not a model, but a real mobile phone, and it was implemented directly in the internal telephone network without going through the communication company!  With the wireless transmission transfer, the base station installation is so convenient! The phone rang again and again, but the other party never answered it. But he was not anxious at all. He just listened to the long beep signal of the phone being connected and felt that the sound was so loud.  Every second, even if the other party didn¡¯t answer, he would never get tired of hearing it. He called again and the call was connected! ¡°Do you know what time it is?  It's two o'clock in the morning!  I just took sleeping pills and fell asleep, and you woke me up again, and you kept beating me, and you kept beating me!  Okay, I'll pick it up. I hope you have something important to call me so late. If not, I'll be furious!  "The CEO's angry roar came from the opposite side. But listening to the other party's roar, Giles thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world!
