Chapter 763: Not worthy?
Liu Hai's two main tasks were progressing slowly, one was the fighter jet issue, and the other was the 001 teaching building issue.

Both of these things are very complicated, plus there are all sorts of other things going on.

From now on, there will be one animated film every two years, including Kung Fu Panda, Transformers, Gundam, and Toy Story, which means two films a year on average.

As for novels, Liu Hai only writes one every two or three years.

"If I write science fiction novels again, I will have to copy Liu Hai's settings." When it comes to science fiction novels, Liu Hai can no longer copy the settings. If he continues to copy, he will only be able to create civilization levels.

The mobile phone patent of FiberHome Technologies Co., Ltd. has attracted attention from abroad.

The first ones to notice the mobile phone patent are the dealers. To put it bluntly, as long as the information of Fenghuo Technology Company is public, it will be watched by the dealers.

There is no way, since Mr. Jack is the Oriental God of Wealth.

The mobile phone patent application of FiberHome Technology Company naturally needs to be looked after by the dealers. International patents are not as simple as everyone imagines, and there are many twists and turns involved.

If someone wants to steal your patent, they can register it before you apply for an international patent, or register it together with you.

Because all the links are operated by humans, in the later Internet age, at least there is still email time and some evidence.

There are even cases where the staff forget about your application documents due to negligence. The worst that can happen is you file a lawsuit.

When the chip of Fenghuo Technology Company came out, the dealers kept an eye on it because they knew it was not simple.

So after Fenghuo Technology Company applied for various patents for mobile phones, dealers came to Kyoto in person, because judging from the applied patents, this mobile phone looked much more advanced than the current mobile phones.

This was not surprising to the dealers, because Mr. Jack was not only an outstanding writer, but also an outstanding designer, or to be more precise, an artist.

The cooperation between dealers and domestic companies is quite deep. FiberHome Technologies has already applied for international patents for its mobile phones, so let the dealers see it.

"My God, this is much more advanced than those mobile phones produced by nouveau riche." The dealers did not expect that Fenghuo Technology Company was already producing mobile phones.

Of course, today's mobile phones are called portable phones, because the smallest of these things weighs 1.1 kilograms, and it is really tiring to carry them without a briefcase. This is also why in the 80s movies, there were younger brothers carrying the phone for their older brothers.

"It's full of artistic feeling at first glance, and this arc feeling gives people a more comfortable feeling."

What is now displayed in front of dealers are not only gold and silver, but also blue, red, white, red and white, red and blue, black and white and various other colors. In fact, it is just a shell.

“It’s also much lighter than those produced by the upstarts.”

"But what we are most concerned about now is the price of these two phones?" The dealer did not rush to see the finished product, but asked the price first.

"This one with a polyphonic ringtone is RMB 9999, and this one without a polyphonic ringtone is RMB 8888." Liu Hai said directly.

"Market price?" The dealers roughly calculated that the exchange rate of the US dollar is about 4 (historically it is about 2. The exchange rate is not so easy to say. Anyway, the exchange rate will eventually stabilize at a certain level, which is conducive to manufacturing exports.)
In other words, a mobile phone that costs 9999 RMB is only worth about 2500 US dollars, which is 1455 US dollars cheaper than similar products on the market.

The dealers looked at each other and saw a huge business opportunity. The most important thing is that most of the countries in the East do not settle in cash, but with various materials.

Although after some Eastern countries have these materials manufactured by domestic manufacturing companies, their value has increased many times.

But there is no way to do this, because the entire Western industry has been messed up by itself. In the past few years, dealers frantically instigated some supporting politicians to increase workers' wages, causing the Western manufacturing industry to enter a downturn ahead of schedule in this era.

Besides, the dealers have nothing to fear because they are also the agents for a large portion of these products.

"I wonder how these phones work?" the dealer said, picking up a phone with a golden polyphonic ring tone.

The moment the flip cover was opened, a pleasant chord ringtone rang out.

"This ringtone can be changed according to different countries and regions." Liu Hai interjected at this time. Of course, this ringtone can also be turned off.

"Tsk, tsk."

"This gray LED display looks much more advanced than the one produced by the upstart Bald Eagle."

“And with this display, it’s not easy to make the wrong call.”

The place where the dealers were looking at their phones already had signal coverage. There was a string of numbers on the back of each dealer's phone, so they memorized each other's numbers and then scattered around the place, calling each other everywhere.

Although these dealers do not understand mobile phones, the most important function of a mobile phone is to make calls.

As for the specific parameters, these will definitely be tested.

"Mr. Jack, please forgive me for being frank, but the price of this phone is still a bit expensive for ordinary people in the West." The dealers were very satisfied with the call quality. Of course, they also compared it with similar products. Anyway, the signal quality is not good in places with slight obstruction, and everyone is lousy.

"The price can't be lowered any further. Actually, I have a good idea." Liu Hai didn't care whether the dealers really wanted to bargain or not, the price would definitely not be lowered, but Liu Hai could give these dealers some ideas.

"You can provide mobile phones at a low price, and then sign a service contract with the mobile phone users for a certain number of years. During the service period, the users must spend a certain amount of money on phone calls every month."

"In addition, we can also provide a full set of base stations and a full set of communication hardware technology services. Of course, our hardware technologies need to be certified by your country's technical standards." No one knew what Liu Hai was thinking.

Liu Hai’s plan is very simple. Starting from the 1G technical standard, when it comes to 3G and 4G, let’s see who will dismantle my things.

"Of course, if you are under a lot of financial pressure, I can invest. I will just charge an annual service fee for the hardware facilities." Liu Hai thoughtfully helped the other party solve the problem again.

"Isn't this a big project?" Because mobile phones are still toys for the rich, although everyone is optimistic about this project, dealers do not want to bet heavily on it. But when they saw Liu Hai was going to invest in this again, they felt that this must be a way to make a fortune.

"All the equipment is provided by us. I believe the cost is much lower than that of the nouveau riche. No matter what, we have also brought real benefits to the citizens of the other country. They no longer need to buy the expensive and ugly mobile phones of the nouveau riche." Liu Hai said with a smile.

"Yes, and this way we can provide a lot of jobs, including mobile phone sales, mobile phone after-sales maintenance, and the construction and operation of communication base stations. We are really very kind." The dealers looked at each other and nodded.

“But before that, we need a professional evaluation. I’m sorry, but business is business.” The dealer has been tempted. After all, the country is not his own country and the citizens are not his own people. He will never miss any opportunity to make money.

"In fact, we can also license the technology to your company. We provide complete mobile phone and signal base station communication technology support." The analog signal communication technology has been licensed before, and Liu Hai is focusing on 2G communication technology, which is digital communication technology.

Analog communications, which seem to be more promising now, will soon be replaced by digital communications.

“We’ll discuss this in detail after we get the assessment report.”

"Also, I have good news for Mr. Jack. Toy Story has once again taken first place at the box office in the first week of the summer season."

“This is simply wonderful.”

"Are there any other animated films similar to this?" Distributors feel that family movies are more popular than Gundam and Transformers.

"I have an idea." Liu Hai thought of the Ice Age.

"Oh my!" The dealers shouted excitedly when they heard this. Sun Aiguo, who was sitting nearby, heard this and knew that Liu Hai was going to release another animated film.

The dealers came and left quickly, and then they dispatched special technicians to test the mobile phones designed by FiberHome Technology Company and produced by related factories.

Then the relevant signal base stations were tested, and of course the technical patents for these signal base stations were also applied for.

August 1983, 8 was a special holiday. It was on this day that the first batch of 1 mobile phones designed by FiberHome Technologies were sent to various places. The telephone bureau and higher authorities were allocated a certain amount of money respectively. The motorcycle factory also received 1000 units.

Of course, at the same time, there is also a small base station in a summer resort in Hainan.

The main leader of Kyoto picked up his mobile phone in the yard outside the office and dialed a number.

After waiting for about 6 seconds, the phone finally beeped.

"Hello!" The phone rang for about three seconds, and a voice came from inside.

Another person nearby said, "Old leader, just say it like this."

"Oh!" The old leader's voice sounded again on the phone.

"Old leader!"

"Hey!"

"Hello, old leader!"

"Okay, okay, you should also pay attention to rest more, and we will pay more attention to the development of the country in the future." The old leader recognized the voice of the current main leader and spoke.

"I will definitely listen to the old leader." The main leader nodded.

"Then hang up. I heard this thing is quite expensive." The old leader was unwilling to get involved in current affairs.

After the main leader hung up the phone, I felt a little dazed, even though I could call the old leader from the office.

But now both parties are using mobile phones. Looking at the silver mobile phone in the hand, it feels a little swollen, but it is this real feeling that makes the main leaders know that this is not a dream.

Thinking about how soldiers used to carry walkie-talkies weighing dozens of kilograms, but now they can do the same with this small thing in their hands.

"This is terrible!" The main leader sighed, and at this moment the phone rang.

Looking at the number above, the main leader opened the phone book next to it and found out who called.

"Old Nie..."

Liu Hai is in Hainan at this time. The reason why he came so late this year is mainly to show this rare mobile phone to his old leader.

"Okay, okay!" The old leader made another call to his junior at home to confirm that the thing in his hand was like the radio in the past and could communicate with faraway places.

Of course, the working modes of the two are different. The radio station relies on radio waves, while this one relies on signal base stations and then transmits through cables.

That is, the mobile phone signal reaches the base station, the base station is connected to the base station where another mobile phone is located through a cable, and then the base station releases the signal to the recipient's mobile phone.

Cell phone communications have nothing to do with satellite communications.

This is also why the main leader needs to wait for a few seconds when calling the senior leader.

Of course, for this call, the relevant communications department was extremely nervous, fearing that something might go wrong at the critical moment.

Fortunately everything went smoothly.

"Does that mean our mobile phone technology is ahead of the West?" The old leader has already learned the word mobile phone.

"We are a little bit ahead of the West, and Niu Niu has already reached a cooperation with us. The next step is to sell our mobile phones to their country. We are now applying for communication technology standards there." Liu Hai explained while sitting next to his old leader.

Liu Hai brought several children together, Xiaoyun's three and Shimei's three. Compared with other children, the older they are, the more reserved they are in front of the old leader.

On the contrary, the smaller it is, the more comfortable it is.

"Yeah."

"When will ordinary people in our country be able to use this kind of mobile phone?" the old leader asked again.

"In another five years, anyone who needs it will be able to afford this kind of phone." What Liu Hai said is true. There is no need to wait five years, three years will be enough. After three years, this bulky phone will be updated and the price will be even cheaper.

"Okay, okay. This way, we can be the first to know anything that happens in the future." The old leader said, playing with the golden cell phone in his hands.

"Yeah!" Liu Hai nodded.

"We still have to be able to produce everything ourselves." The old leader said this because he heard Liu Hai say that the same type of products are sold for nearly four thousand US dollars in Bald Eagle, which is equivalent to more than 12000 yuan in our country. If we cannot produce it ourselves and have to buy it from others, the price will probably be much higher than this.

"Yes." Liu Hai nodded.

Liu Hai didn't know that Kyoto was already in an uproar. Less than a day after the 1000 mobile phones were distributed, they caused a huge sensation.

The mobile phones being tested now do not require phone charges, so many people start making calls as soon as they get the phone, and also take a small notebook next to them to take notes.

Because the test requires data collection, such as how many seconds it takes to hear the beep, how long the call lasts, where the signal is poor, or when the call is disconnected.

So when you pick up the phone, you first check the time and then start dialing.

What kind of people are the most numerous in Kyoto? Of course, there are many people with status and position.

What? Mr. Li from the next-door unit has a cell phone?
What is a Cell Phone?

Is it the big brother?
That won’t do. I need to go check it out.

Just as I arrived at the company next door, I saw Lao Li standing in the yard, holding a silver object with an antenna protruding from it, laughing: "Lao Sun, you must get together next time you come to Kyoto. This mobile phone is so convenient. I am walking in the yard of my company and calling you. Lao Liu from the company next door is here."

After understanding the situation, Lao Liu left with a smile on his face. He returned to his office and called the telephone company: "What do you mean by that? My company is not worthy of a cell phone, right?"

The telephone bureau received the call and was not surprised to hear the other party's identity. They quickly said, "Boss, I'm really sorry. This is the number limited by our superior department. The main reason is that this phone is expensive and it is still under testing."

"Am I, Old Liu, not qualified to be tested? Did we cooperate with your previous work?" Old Liu was immediately dissatisfied.
