Chapter 761 Technical Services (Second Update)
Of course Liu Hai couldn't say this. Although Liu Hai had a good relationship with the teacher, there was still a layer of distance between them.

It was only after returning to Kyoto that Liu Hai saw the Western media's reaction to the Loongson chip.

However, what Liu Hai pays most attention to are the reactions of these professional large companies.

"These big companies seem to not care?" Sun Aiguo didn't know much about chips, but the fact that the top leaders had gone to inspect them proved that this thing was very important.

"Each department in a large company has its own responsibilities, and unless there are problems within their company, their external responses are relatively slow." Of course, this situation is much better after the advent of the Internet age.

Before the advent of the Internet age, if you wanted to communicate with a large company about certain issues, which were themselves the company’s problems, you might not be able to find a way.

Even in Europe and the United States in 2020, large companies still communicate via email. After you send an email, it is hard to say how long it will take for others to reply to you.

"And the difficulty of making this chip itself is not high for these big companies, but they don't think it is necessary to make this chip now." Liu Hai further explained to Sun Aiguo.

"So what will the future development be like if we make this chip?" However, Sun Aiguo had another question.

"Although this chip seems to be much weaker than the mainstream 8088 chip at this stage, and is also far behind in computing power and other aspects, I believe that this chip will develop better and better in the future." Before the explosion of mobile devices, ARM chips did have a hard time.

In fact, by 2020, Intel's chips will be more powerful than ARM chips, but most ordinary people will not be able to use this performance.

It takes some professionals to use Intel chips. Low-power ARM chips are more suitable for various mobile terminals, and Liu Hai does not intend to take over this market in one go.

To be precise, it is walking on two legs, one leg competing with the Bald Eagle on the x86 architecture, and the other leg on this reduced instruction set chip.

The Loongson chip can be used even after it is fully developed. Our country has such a large market. As long as our own chips can be used, these foreign companies will naturally talk to you.

If you don't have a usable chip, you will be like a pig or a sheep, at the mercy of others.

"I understand." Sun Aiguo actually didn't understand, but since Liu Hai was doing this, he must have his reasons.

"How was it going back to my hometown in Shandong this time?" Sun Aiguo asked again.

"It's nice to go back to my hometown. The teacher is smiling all day long." Of course, Liu Hai couldn't talk about the conflicts at home.

"I will retire in two years. The fighter jet project will not be a big problem, but I don't know if I can see the aircraft carrier in this lifetime!" Sun Aiguo said.

"Leader, just don't worry." Liu Hai laughed.

Liu Hai said this with certainty for a reason. Fat Bear now sees that Niu Niu and Gallic Chicken are going to equip four aircraft carriers, so he also plans to build six aircraft carriers, and they will also be at least 8 tons, and at least two of them will be nuclear-powered.

Liu Hai was of course very happy to hear the news, regardless of how many of these aircraft carriers were finally built and how many were not.

Maybe you will have a chance to get something for free.

It would be even better if it was built. By then, the Fat Goose will be stronger and can attract the attention of the Bald Eagle and other Western countries.

By then, Fat Goose will have two aircraft carriers to maintain and will be even more short of money, and then the oil and gas resources will come.

"That's good!" Sun Aiguo felt relieved when he heard Liu Hai's confident words.

Sun Aiguo certainly didn't know that after the collapse of the fat bear, according to our current development speed, we can't hide even if we want to. Since we can't hide, we must stand up. At that time, whether we buy or build it, we must have our own aircraft carrier.

It is based on this consideration that Liu Hai came up with the current fighter jet.

"I heard that your company is going to manufacture mobile phones. Our factory can order some at that time." Sun Aiguo said again.

"Thank you, Director." Liu Hai nodded. China now has all kinds of chips, so there is no problem in manufacturing mobile phones.

The key is to bypass other people's patents and make your own mobile phone unique.

Liu Hai asked the company to make a very small display screen on the phone. The only function of this display screen is to display the dialing number and time, as well as the caller ID.

Don't underestimate this function. In this age of mobile phones, this kind of phone will definitely become a sought-after product among people who like high technology.

As for how to implement this function, that is what my subordinates have to do. Of course, this phone still uses analog signals, and there is no need to use digital signals. After all, everyone is making money from analog signal phones.

It would be a waste not to make this money, and the investment in digital communications is too huge nowadays.

"Leader, I have something I would like to ask for your help." Liu Hai told him about what the museum had done for the dog.

"That's no problem." Sun Aiguo agreed immediately after hearing this.

Liu Hai felt relieved. He wanted to do these things himself, but he didn't know who to find. Due to time constraints, the museum had not completed some procedures.

Now that it is going to be handed over to Gou Zi, of course the relevant procedures have to be completed, and all these museums have to be packaged together to form a private company.

In fact, the progress of Fenghuo Technologies is much faster than planned.

On the one hand, a lot of manpower was added, and on the other hand, some technical problems were handed over to other related enterprises or research institutes. On the one hand, other enterprises or research institutes received tasks from their superiors, and on the other hand, they received real task rewards.

How much money will be paid for overcoming a technical difficulty? Although this may sound a bit against the rules, the money offered by Fenghuo Technology Company is huge.

In addition, Fenghuo Technology Company itself paid a large year-end bonus before the New Year, and the main leaders came to inspect.

The entire institute was filled with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Liu Hai returned to Kyoto after the Chinese New Year. Before he could do anything, good news came from Fenghuo Technology Company.

In mid-March 1983, Liu Hai saw the first mobile phone produced by FiberHome Technologies.

This mobile phone is just like the legendary stick phone. It has an antenna on the black plastic body, which can be pulled out. There is a small gray LED display on it.

The overall appearance looks like a smaller version of a big brother, but thinner, shorter and lighter.

"Will this plastic give me a cheap feeling?" Liu Hai saw this cool phone and found it was so different from what he had imagined. He felt like he would throw it on the street and no one would want it.

"This is the material that is now used mainstreamly." Ni Nan said when he heard this.

"Can the appearance be changed?" Liu Hai couldn't stand this kind of thing. Besides, the appearance of the products produced by his company had to be better looking.

“It can be changed.”

Liu Hai drew a mobile phone, or to be more precise, a flip phone. Of course, the cover is just a receiver.

The overall shape of the phone is not like the current Bang Bang Chicken, but a square one, a bit like the Motorola v66.

"This flip cover is mainly used to protect the buttons, and there is only a receiver above the screen. It would be best to have a switch here on the flip cover, and then a piece of music will play when the lid is opened, just two or three seconds will be enough." Liu Hai knew that the first batch of big brothers who bought pagers would all have a display on their waists.

"Also, make the display screen bigger. Even if it has only one function, it will be uncomfortable to look at if it is too small." Liu Hai does this to arouse people's competitive mentality. When you buy a mobile phone, others don't know what to do, of course they will open the flip cover to hear the unique ringtone.

"You decide the specific size." In the end, there is no strict regulation on the size of bangs. In fact, many people now hold mobile phones in their hands, which makes them feel very majestic. If the phone is too small, it will not show one's identity.

"Also, the battery should not be too big. It should be enough to make a call for an hour. The battery can be replaced anyway."

"Anyway, you guys can decide the size and proportion of the exterior."

"Boss, it can be fixed in a week." Ni Nan took a look and said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Hai said with a smile.

"We have put this phone through communication tests, and its call quality is similar to similar models, but our battery life is longer. But is it in terms of base station construction?" Ni Nan spoke again.

"You can contact the higher authorities about this." Liu Hai also felt a headache when he heard this, because a mobile phone is not just the phone itself, but also a communication base station, it must be connected to a landline, and it must be able to make long-distance calls, all of which are inseparable from the current telephone bureau.

"This... let's leave it to you, boss. I'll be responsible for the technical aspects." Ni Nan said when he heard this.

"No problem!" Liu Hai nodded.

So Liu Hai took the initiative to go to the competent department to report the situation.

"Our superior department has already discussed your case and is planning to set up two new mobile communications companies. We originally planned to set up one, but you know that there is no comparison with just one."

"Does your Fenghuo Technology Company want to invest in these two companies?" Liu Hai had just sat down on the chair in the superior department leader's office when he heard his leader say this.

"We will not participate in this. We can provide technology and equipment, and then let the two companies sell the mobile phones." Liu Hai decided not to participate in this mobile communications company because the Internet company he cooperated with the railway department would also be involved in mobile communications in the future.

By that time, if I had shares in three companies, it would seem a bit weird.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, you are sensible. The main leader thought of this problem after inspecting you last time. He just didn't expect that your mobile phone research and development progress was so fast. These two companies have just been established, but I can take the lead and let you cooperate with the Kyoto Telephone Bureau to build a communication base station within Kyoto first, which is equivalent to a test." The leader of the competent department spoke again.

"We will follow the leadership's arrangements in everything." Liu Hai also thought this was a good idea.

In fact, the construction of communication base stations and the updating of equipment such as switches are still quite troublesome.

The mobile phone was only tested by FiberHome Technology Company itself. FiberHome Technology Company built a small base station with a radiation range of just over one kilometer.

"This is what we should do. I will set up a special team to promote this matter. Let's implement it as soon as possible." The leaders of the competent department knew that this was a great thing.

"Then I'll trouble you, boss. I'll have someone from the company come to the department to coordinate with you."

"it is good."

Liu Hai returned to Fenghuo Company. A special team was formed under the leadership of the superior administrative department, Kyoto Telephone Bureau, and some personnel from Fenghuo Technology Company.

The first step is to survey the existing equipment of the telephone exchange and then update the equipment. The other step is to find a location to build a signal base station within Kyoto based on the power of the base station.

This project was a task assigned by the superior leaders and was taken by the department, so the people in Kyoto Telephone Bureau were as busy as a whim.

Here, FiberHome Technology Company plays a role of technical support and comes up with a plan for the construction of signal base stations.

The people in the department acted as the coordinator, which actually meant they were just watching the people at the Kyoto Telephone Bureau working from the sidelines. Once Fiberhome Technology Company came up with a plan, the telephone bureau would immediately start implementing it.

Liu Hai also tried out the mobile phone produced by his own company at FiberHome Technology Company. To be honest, he felt it was pretty rubbish. There were various problems with the analog signal, the signal was not good, and the language was severely distorted.

Especially compared to the mobile phones of 2020, today's mobile phones can only make voice calls, and the function of sending text messages was not available until the s, so there is certainly no rush for bangs.

However, as for the text messaging function, Liu Hai has already asked people in the company to work on it. The nine-square grid strokes, pinyin typing, these must be worked out.

Liu Hai doesn't need to worry at all because there are competent departments keeping an eye on it, but he said that it might be hard for the staff at the telephone bureau.

In fact, not only the people from the telephone company, but also the people from FiberHome Technologies are working hard.

It already has a base station, so the relevant equipment only needs to be authorized to the relevant production enterprises. These enterprises can produce the equipment as quickly as possible, such as signal transmitters, signal converters, switches, and then connect to the landline network.

There is also the need to reconnect the cables between base stations, but there are no technical issues involved.

Of course, FiberHome Technologies will charge patent fees, based on each device.

Even in early spring, everyone was working overtime. Some people would never encounter a task of this level in their entire lives. Once a task of this level was completed, everyone would receive a reward.

People who participate in tasks of this level will become role models and backbones in the unit in the future.

So it is true that working overtime is hard now, but the honor that will come later is also real.

So the people at the telephone bureau don’t feel it’s hard at all, even though it seems to be hard work for them to get up early and work overtime.

A week later, Liu Hai saw the mobile phone designed according to his ideas.

"We added a program internally for the sound of opening the lid. We tested it and found that two seconds is enough."

"The flip cover itself has a pressure switch, and opening and closing the flip cover puts pressure on the pressure switch and the sound is played."

"Also, as for what the boss said about it looking cheap, we can make it silver or gold."

Liu Hai looked at the larger flip phone in his hand. There was a piece of transparent plastic on the cover, through which he could see the phone display inside. However, this display could only show numbers now, which meant that the caller ID was also a string of numbers. This was normal, as early phones did not have a phone book function. At that time, he had to look through the phone book in his bag to make a call.

"Very good, very good." After Liu Hai opened the flip cover, a ding-ling-ling sound was heard.

"Can this store a piece of chord music?" Liu Hai felt that the sound was a bit too monotonous.

“The cost will be very high, as we need to add storage.”

"We can make two versions, one with just this monotonous sound, and one with polyphonic music, incoming call ringtone, and the sound of opening the flip phone." Liu Hai thought it was not a problem, so he suggested.

"no problem!"

"We can hand this phone over to the higher authorities for identification. After the identification, we will let them arrange production and we will collect patent fees. However, we must apply for a global patent before production." Liu Hai is not planning to produce specific mobile phones, but only provide chips and technical services. Because in 2020, Liu Hai knew that someone who was playing with flexible screens had killed himself. If he tackled this technology alone, he would have a lot of supporters, but he wanted to make mobile phones.

In fact, in 2020, technology service providers are the most profitable. No matter how fierce the competition in the downstream market is, the more intense the competition is and the more they sell, the more money they will make.

Besides, Liu Hai doesn’t have that much energy to manage the production of mobile phones and the like.

Moreover, as a technology service provider, there is another advantage, which is the ability to set industry standards. In 2020, many mobile phones were manufactured, but how many of the mobile phone systems, software and hardware were developed by their own mobile phone companies? Many directly bought complete solutions from upstream technology service providers, and then changed the skin and did it themselves.
