Rebirth 1983

Chapter 260 Unintentional New Idea
What Chen Song didn't know was that, in fact, BP pagers had entered the country as early as the year of his rebirth.

In 1983, Shanghai opened the first paging station, and the BP machine officially entered the country.

The convenience of the BP machine has opened the eyes of many people, and they have started to use this small black box.

With the maturity of science and technology and the increase of social demand, in the past two years, paging stations have sprung up everywhere, and the prosperity of the paging market has made the competition among the paging stations increasingly fierce.

This thing still relies on imports, and the products are almost all produced by Motorola and Panasonic, and there is not even a Chinese version in China.

Those who know how to use this thing now are basically entrepreneurs and some intellectuals with fairly good English. In addition, pagers are expensive now, and ordinary people don't have the spare money to buy this little black box.

Chen Song's mind lit up, and he immediately looked at this little thing.

In future generations, the Chinese version of this thing will be the well-known domestic company Inspur, which has teamed up with foreign Motorola to develop a BP machine with Chinese characters, so that users can know the content of the call without having to search for a phone all over the street.

What Chen Song thought was, what would happen if their Xiaobawang Electronics Factory was involved in the pager industry in addition to game consoles?
In fact, pagers have been in existence for 40 to [-] years, and the technology has already matured. Chen Song fully believes in the strength of these scientific researchers in his country.At that time, Xiaobawang Electronics Factory and Motorola will develop the Chinese character version in advance, and at the same time reduce the production cost, so that everyone can afford it. Wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Although part of the profits will be allocated to Motorola, as long as they have experience, Chen Song feels that they can independently develop new pagers, and a pager with its own independent intellectual property rights is not a dream.

At that time, we can get rid of Motorola, lower the price of pagers with lower domestic labor and more extensive resources, squeeze out imported machines, and expand the market share of domestic brands.

Chen Song thought about it, this thing is still very profitable.

After all, in Chen Song's impression, even after the 90s, many people still use this little thing.

At that time, mobile phones were still too expensive, and the price of tens of thousands was not affordable by ordinary people. Pagers in the 90s were already very cheap, and they were extremely convenient to use.

It wasn't until after the millennium that this little thing gradually disappeared and was replaced by mobile phones, but the small black box was no longer visible.

After Chen Song goes out later, he will buy a few pagers first, and when he returns to Yangcheng, he will give two to the R&D department first, and then talk to Duan Yongping about whether he can try to jointly develop a Chinese character pager for Xiaobawang with Motorola in addition to the Xiaobawang game console.

The more Chen Song thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible, until he was so thoughtful that he was awakened by Zhou Wanyan next to him.

Let's not mention this little thing for now.

After Chen Song restrained his thoughts about the pager, he went forward and chatted with the entrepreneurs who were waiting to meet the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry in the lobby. His purpose was market research.

Aren't these entrepreneurs who specialize in the electronics industry the best targets for market research?
Chen Song said that he is also the director of a certain metal wire drawing factory in the Special Economic Zone, and business has not been doing well recently, so he came to the Ministry of Electronics Industry to ask if he could ask the other party to help introduce the wire drawing orders in the factory to some electronics factories.

The quality of these entrepreneurs is considered good. After all, they have worked hard from scratch, and they know the principle of making money with harmony.In addition, Chen Song also said that he owns a wire drawing factory, which can be regarded as part of their electronics industry, so he did not have much defense against Chen Song.

Among them, Chen Song obtained a lot of useful information from these people.

Including that he knew that there were two factories in the special zone, and he also took a fancy to the video game machine.

Because the high-level executives of the two other factories seem to have learned from other channels that the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry have hit a wall with Nintendo's Jiro Yamamoto and ate their ashes.After knowing that Nintendo's game consoles seem to have no way to enter the country in the short term, they naturally want to enter the industry. Isn't this just to ask for help?
These electronics factories, as long as they produce some low-end electronic products, such as electronic watches, it is not a big problem, and their technology is completely sufficient.

But the technical requirements of this electronic game machine, these factories are not so easy to crack and imitate.

They are not like Chen Song, who can have Duan Yongping who is attractive and has a lot of connections. He can recruit people from many scientific research institutes in Kyoto, and he can also find many high-achieving university students with good technical skills in this industry.

So these factories have no strength, but they want to get involved in the imitation of game consoles. There is really no way at hand, so they lick their faces and seek help from the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

Many bosses in the electronics industry who were present knew this well.

Others also came here to ask for help and support because of various ideas.

Everyone's needs are similar.

After chatting with many people in secret, Chen Song finally understood a lot of the market in his heart.

There is no doubt that electronic game consoles are indeed a hot market in China, and it is still a very popular market.

Among these people, two came to ask the leaders for help in developing game consoles, and many others also wanted to ask about this matter, and some of them also wanted to be video game console entrepreneurs.

It is enough to see that everyone's eyes are the same.

Game consoles will definitely become popular in China. There will be a lot of manufacturers making them, and the competition among them will be fierce. If Xiaobawang is not careful, he will have no way to occupy the market.

Fortunately, no one manufacturer has cracked Nintendo's Famicom.

Many of the on-site manufacturers do not even have their own R&D teams.

This made Chen Song slightly relieved.

After the consultation, Chen Song took Zhou Wanyan and quietly left the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

They decided to go to some arcade stores and ask those who like arcade machines, if there is one that can play games at home without leaving the house, as long as it is connected to their own TV, they can play games, whether they will buy it or not.

The special zone is indeed very prosperous, and this population already has the feeling of being crowded in later generations.

Walking on the road and waiting for traffic lights, there will always be a group of people standing on the street waiting. When the lights change, the crowd will quickly cross the crosswalk like ants.

Chen Song had no choice but to hold Zhou Wanyan's little hand, for fear that she would be scattered by the crowd.

After all, the people in the special zone are now mixed, and coupled with the community culture from the South Island to the south, the society is still a bit chaotic. Fortunately, it is still daytime, and those bastards are not so arrogant.

"Let's go, let's go find a store that plays Street Fighter, do you know how to play Street Fighter?"

Chen Song held Zhou Wanyan's hand, but didn't notice that Zhou Wanyan's face was a little red now, watching her hand being pulled, her steps followed Chen Song's completely.

"know a little."

Zhou Wanyan's voice became low and her tone was a little shy, and she kept recalling what the old man had said to her some time ago, about the matter with Chen Song.

"Then let's go, let's go to a store to play for a while, and get along well with those game boys."

Chen Song smiled, turned to look at Zhou Wanyan, only then realized that he had been holding Zhou Wanyan's little hand, and suddenly let go, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

The wrist was loosened, Chen Song's hand left, Zhou Wanyan's eyes flashed an imperceptible sense of loss, and she quickly recovered, chuckling: "Come on, there is a Street Fighter game hall in front, let's go and have a look."

"okay."

Looking at Zhou Wanyan's smiling face, Chen Song was slightly stunned. After a while, he realized that the person had already run to the front, and hurriedly chased after her.
