Chapter 762 Strategy
"I understand." When Ni Nan heard Liu Hai say this, he knew that the future development of the company would mainly depend on providing technical support.

Ni Nan knew that the boss's idea was a good one because it involved many aspects of specific production.

Managing a production department is much more complicated than managing a testing department, involving purchasing, shipping, orders, after-sales service and so on.

There are many departments that need to be monitored, and the more production factories there are, the more troublesome it is to manage.

Under Liu Hai's instructions, Fenghuo Technology Company first applied for relevant international patents for this mobile phone, including appearance patents, etc.

"We are developing so fast now, will it make many families skip the landline telephone?" Liu Hai pondered after leaving Fenghuo Technology Company.

It is foreseeable that we can now produce mobile phones ourselves. If the price of buying a mobile phone is similar to the price of installing a landline phone in the future, will anyone still install a landline phone?

The higher authorities were also surprised that the mobile phone from FiberHome Technology Company came out so quickly.

The leaders of the competent department looked at the mobile phones and related information sent by Fenghuo Technology Company.

The structure of the phone is different from the appearance of foreign mobile phones. First of all, the whole phone is silver-gray.

It is two circles larger than a cigarette box, feels a bit bloated in the hand, and is slightly thicker. However, the bottom of the phone is arc-shaped, not square.

It gives people a sense of high-endness. When you open the flip cover of the phone, a two-second chord ringtone plays. This surprised the leaders of the superior department, because nowadays mobile phones abroad only have monotonous ding-ding-like sounds.

The leader of the superior department closed the flip cover again, and then there was another chord ringtone of the same kind.

The gray LED screen inside looked relatively large. When the leader of the superior department pressed a one, a 1 appeared on the screen.

After pressing a series of numbers, a series of numbers will appear on the screen.

"That's great!" There's no way to make a phone call because there's no signal here.

"Fiberhome Technology Company plans to produce 200 units for testing. In the next step, the company plans to license the relevant production technology of mobile phones to other manufacturers." The leader's secretary spoke now.

“200 units is a bit too few. Besides, how can we let their company produce them themselves? Let the manufacturers who are willing to produce mobile phones conduct trial production first.” The leader of the competent department spoke up immediately after hearing this.

"According to international practice, we should pay the right amount of fees. These technologies of Fenghuo Technology Company were developed with money." The leader of the competent department emphasized this point again.

"Moreover, Fenghuo Technology Company is a foreign-funded private enterprise. It is different from our own domestic enterprises. We must first make it clear to the companies below that the technology license shall be given to whoever it is granted. Anyone who dares to give it to others privately is committing a violation of the law. Our country is preparing to update the patent law next year." The leaders of the superior department in charge certainly know that some technologies between domestic state-owned enterprises are basically transferred to each other at no cost. This has led to some manufacturers wanting to get other people's technology for free and not wanting to develop their own technology.

Therefore, after the new patent law is implemented next year, even state-owned enterprises will have to pay for using each other's technology, causing those companies that do not want to research technology to be submerged in the tide of the times.

"I see. So what are the next instructions, leader? Do you want to call a meeting with the relevant manufacturers?" the leader's secretary asked again.

"Then let's hold a meeting." The leader nodded.

"Let the expert group conduct the appraisal as soon as possible and don't delay the research and development process of Fenghuo Technology Company." The leader of the competent department spoke again.

"Yes!" In fact, mobile phone authentication is not that difficult. First, authenticate the call quality, and then authenticate the internal structure.

Because there are no signal base stations in the country yet, the experts came to FiberHome Technologies to test the call.

In just three days, the higher authorities approved the appraisal of this mobile phone and convened a meeting in Kyoto for all qualified mobile phone component manufacturers across the country.

There are quite a lot of manufacturers participating, but when they heard that they had to pay patent fees and produce according to other people's technology, many of them backed off.

The leaders of the higher-level departments in charge should remember these guys who don’t want to do anything, and don’t even think about getting a penny from them in the future.

Leaders of higher-level departments like those manufacturers who want to do things and are willing to do things.

Of course, the higher authorities are just matchmakers, and Fenghuo Technology Company still needs to examine the technical strength of these factories for details.

In fact, mobile phones are not very complicated nowadays, and there are technical personnel from FiberHome Technologies to provide guidance.

FiberHome Technologies has signed cooperation agreements with nine companies. FiberHome Technologies provides technical support, and these nine companies are responsible for producing relevant parts of mobile phones, from the outer shell to all the internal parts.

Then FiberHome Technologies charges a 10% patent fee for each mobile phone.

Then the country’s two newly established mobile communications companies, one China Mobile and the other China Unicom, placed orders for 20,000 units with the two manufacturers.

The two mobile communication companies only placed orders with two manufacturers because only two manufacturers did the final assembly.

Some of the nine companies that FiberHome Technologies signed contracts with only produce some parts.

FiberHome Technologies subsequently dispatched technical personnel to various manufacturers to provide technical guidance to them.

During this period, the signal base stations in Kyoto were constantly being improved. All the equipment required for the signal base stations were manufactured by relevant factories, and the technology was also authorized to these factories by FiberHome Technologies.

Originally, FiberHome Technology Company could have directly authorized the telephone company, and then the telephone company could have authorized the factory, but Liu Hai chose to directly authorize the factory.

In June 1983, the deputy director of Dongfang Heavy Industries in charge of military industry handed a document to Liu Hai.

"Engineer Liu, the test of the turbofan engine version of the flying motorcycle has been completed. These are the test data." said the deputy factory director in charge of military industry.

"Please take a seat, leader." Liu Hai then handed the leader a can of drink.

"This hawthorn, wolfberry and jujube drink is so refreshing to drink." The deputy director in charge of military industry took it, opened the can and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste was mixed with the flavor of wolfberry and jujube.

"Thank you for the compliment, leader." Liu Hai looked at the long test data and found that the relevant department had conducted more than 60 tests.

And it has been extended to several models. Liu Hai designed the 1500-kilometer version, so the weight is very large because the 1500-kilometer version has 500 liters of fuel.

Of course, this thing is also very powerful, and the explosion is at least several dozen kilograms.

The superior department manufactured a 100-kilometer version, a 300-kilometer version, a 600-kilometer version based on Liu Hai's design, and even expanded it to a 2000-kilometer version, and also developed an air-launched model.

The biggest drawback of today's flying scooters that only have inertial guidance is that the error increases the farther the distance.

But this is not certain. If one or two hundred missiles are fired at once, there may be a few with extremely high accuracy. Liu Hai probably has an idea of ​​this data.

"The higher authorities are currently continuing to optimize the inertial guidance system. After all, with such a long range, it would be a waste if the accuracy is not high." The deputy factory director spoke up next to him.

Liu Hai nodded. Inertial guidance also has different levels of precision. The higher the precision, the better the effect. In addition, it has its own error correction function, which also involves things like gyroscopes.

Of course, the more sophisticated these things are, the more they require a fairly high level of industrial strength and technology to be manufactured.

Why flying scooters did not become popular in 2020 is that not every country can manufacture the gyroscope in this simple inertial guidance. Ninety percent of the countries in the world cannot manufacture it even if they are given the blueprints.

The flying scooter works only because of its inertial guidance.

Not to mention that the flying scooter of 2020 is equipped with not only an inertial guidance system, but also map matching and global positioning, which are not something that some small countries can produce.

In fact, in 2020, all major countries are restricting the spillover of industrial technology, especially those related to military and defense.

Even though the relationship between Xiao Benzi and the Bald Eagle is so good, the Bald Eagle will not give him any support in many industrial fields.

We were able to manufacture launch vehicles in the 2020s and s and successfully launched many satellites. However, many countries, even though they are developed countries in , cannot do this.

Don’t underestimate the number of people behind the launch vehicle, and the upstream and downstream related industrial chains require a large number of top talents.

"That's good." Liu Hai nodded and looked at the data carefully. These were top-secret test data.

After reading it, Liu Hai returned the information to his leader. There was no point in keeping such information.

"Mr. Liu, how is the liquid fuel engine version of the flying scooter?" the deputy factory director asked again.

"This still has some technical difficulties, and should be completed in the first half of next year." Speaking of this bangs, I feel a headache. In fact, liquid fuel engines are not suitable for flying motorcycles.

Because it is not as safe as other fuels in terms of storage and transportation, and liquid fuels are more or less dangerous.

"Then don't worry, take your time." The deputy factory director didn't know the specific technical data. After all, the deputy factory director was not a professional in this field.

Bangs nodded.

"Does Mr. Liu want to go to Jinling on October 10st?" the deputy factory director asked again.

"We are going this year, but we didn't go last year." Liu Hai knew that he was talking about the completion of Heshun Airlines' first aircraft, which was assembled with all its parts produced by the airline itself, on October 10 this year.

"In fact, this plane is not as dangerous as people say in foreign countries. I have taken it several times and the experience is very good." The deputy factory director took another sip and spoke.

"In fact, I have read their accident reports before. Most of them were caused by staff mistakes. We have an advantage over them in this regard, and it is hard to say that these accidents were not caused by someone deliberately behind the scenes." Liu Hai nodded.

"Yes, that's right. Bald Eagle has banned this plane from flying."

"But fortunately, Europe gave us the airworthiness certificate and flight permit."

Liu Hai sighed when he heard this: "If I had known this would happen, I should have lowered the price a little more."

"That's right. I didn't expect those Bald Eagle guys to be so insidious." The deputy factory director nodded, not knowing that Liu Hai had already guessed this situation.

"I heard that your company has produced our first mobile phone? I wonder when it will start selling?" The deputy factory manager was still very curious about our first mobile phone, but because he was in charge of a different business, he didn't know what the phone was like now.

"It is expected that the trial operation will start in early July, and the mobile phones will be available for sale in Kyoto in September," Liu Hai said.

In fact, the Kyoto Telephone Bureau has already started advertising that registration will soon be required with full payment first.

There are now two models, gold and silver. The gold one has a polyphonic ringtone, and the silver one has a monotonous reminder sound.

The gold one is priced at 9999, and the silver one is priced at 6666. Historically, mobile phones were not introduced into China until 1987, but the exchange rate was lower at that time, so the price of mobile phones in our country in 87 was about 2 yuan.

Our domestic economic situation is good now, but the exchange rate has been declining over the years.

The 1983 Motorola 8000X weighed about 1.1 kilograms and was priced at US$3995. This price was based on the domestic production cost.

If we follow the rules of capital operation, Liu Hai himself suffered a loss, because Fenghuo Technology Company invested billions in research and development.

However, Liu Hai also saw another side, that is the market. Now mobile phones are toys of rich people abroad. If the price is lower than 3995 US dollars abroad, there is no way to cultivate the domestic market.

As for why Liu Hai no longer sets a lower price, it is because these things will still be exported in the future.

"When the time comes to test, send one to the leader for testing." Liu Hai smiled and said.

"How can I feel embarrassed about this?" The deputy factory director said with a smile when he heard this.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We'll have to find other people to test it anyway. After the first batch of products comes out, we'll conduct large-scale testing. The telephone bureau will also have a number of vacancies, as will the department in charge of communications. The factory will also have a number of vacancies by then." Liu Hai laughed. In fact, this was also a sales strategy.

I will give you a free test phone now. When the test is finished you will return the phone to me. Will you buy another one then?
When you meet an acquaintance, he asks you, "What's wrong? Where's your cell phone?"

Besides, any product must convince the masses and the people. After all, this is something that costs nearly tens of thousands of yuan. If no one uses it, there may be more people looking at it than buying it.

Of course, the product would have to undergo extensive testing anyway, so we can kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Liu Hai's initial target was those people who had a lot of salary and money but nowhere to spend it.

It is completely impossible to expect these workers to buy mobile phones now.

"What is the name of this mobile phone?" The deputy factory manager accepted what he heard and then asked.

"We have to wait until the telephone bureau has built all the signal base stations before the factory can produce the phones. We have to invite the main leaders to inspect and name them."

The deputy factory director gave Liu Hai a thumbs up.
