We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#431 - Yunsheng S1 mobile phone

“I’m already very satisfied with this test result.” Su Cheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing Landon Moore’s words.

The cellular mobile telecommunications system provided by Xiao Ai is naturally much more advanced and stable than the cellular mobile telecommunications system developed by Bell Labs, so it’s actually quite normal to have this coverage range.

A coverage range of one kilometer for a single signal tower is already a very good achievement.

This means that if we only need to cover the urban area of Hong Kong, we won't need to build too many mobile signal towers, which will reduce costs significantly.

In fact, the reason why those telecommunications companies in later generations invest hundreds of billions in 4G and 5G networks is mainly due to research and development costs.

Even in this era, both Bell Labs and Motorola's labs need to invest hundreds of millions of dollars or more.

Therefore, even if they successfully research and commercialize it, it will take a long time to recoup the costs, or even fail to do so.

Because the investment is simply too high.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are not so easily recouped.

And Hutchison Telecom has only spent nearly three months from the start of research and development to the present, with an investment of only a few million Hong Kong dollars.

The ultimate reason is naturally because the technology is readily available, and these experts only need to develop it according to the technology, and then test it again and again.

Therefore, as long as mobile phones can be successfully commercialized, Hutchison Telecom will be able to have a steady stream of income.

Although Wei Li had already experienced it, he was still very interested in the mobile phone in his hand, and was having a great time playing with it.

“Does this product have a name yet?” Su Cheng asked.

“Boss, not yet. Our work during this period has mainly focused on testing. We haven’t considered the name of the mobile phone yet,” Landon Moore said, shaking his head.

At this time, Wei Li also stopped making calls.

“Boss, why don’t you give it a name? After all, you provided this technology, and naming it is a very meaningful thing,” Wei Li said with a smile.

“I agree, let the boss name it!” Landon nodded in agreement.

“Name?”. Naming things is a very headache for Su Cheng.

So, Su Cheng walked to the rest area next to him and began to think about what name to give to the world's first commercial mobile phone that was about to be born.

A series of well-known mobile phone brand names from later generations appeared in Su Cheng's mind: Huawei, ZTE, OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, Apple, Honor, and so on.

Should I preemptively use one of these names?

“Xiao Ai, do you have any suggestions?” Su Cheng simply cheated and asked Xiao Ai for help.

[Huilong]

— The two characters “Huilong” are both grand and imposing, making them a great choice for a company name. Moreover, the tones of the two characters change from level to rising, making it sound very pleasant. At the same time, naming the brand “Huilong” also has the beautiful meaning of prosperous business and a bright future.

[Yunsheng]

— “Yun” is taken from “Huangdi obtained it and ascended to the clouds” in “Zhuangzi · The Great Master”, meaning “high”; the original meaning of “Sheng” is grand and prosperous. Combining the two as the name of the brand not only makes the brand very grand, but also implies that the company is rising step by step and prospering.

[Wanze]

— In the name “Wanze”, “Wan” means a large quantity, which is a grand character, and the name implies a continuous flow of wealth; “Ze” is explained in “Shuowen” as “Ze, Guangrun also”, and it also has the meaning of grace and kindness. As the name of the brand, it means that the company has good morals and can shine brightly.

Soon, Xiao Ai listed a bunch of suggestions in Su Cheng's mind.

“Let’s call our mobile phone brand Yunsheng. As for the model of the first product, let’s just call it Yunsheng S1 mobile phone. In the future, the second, third, and fourth generation mobile phones will be extended in this way, Yunsheng S2, Yunsheng S3, Yunsheng S4, etc.!” Su Cheng quickly made a decision.

“Okay, let’s use the name Yunsheng as the brand name!” Wei Li and Landon Moore naturally had no objections.

At this time, the telephone in the lounge rang.

Landon Moore immediately answered it.

“Okay, you arrange someone to bring him up, no, no, no, I’ll go down and bring him up myself, you entertain him first.” Landon Moore said, and then hung up the phone.

Then, he said to Su Cheng and Wei Li: “Boss, President, the Governor is already downstairs.”

“Let’s all go down and greet him.” Su Cheng thought for a while and said.

After all, MacLehose is now the top leader in Hong Kong, and Su Cheng is operating in his territory, so he still needs to give him a certain amount of respect.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Soon, the three of them took the elevator to the first floor together.

At this time, MacLehose was sitting in the reception room on the first floor, with two guards behind him.

“Governor, I’m sorry to trouble you to come over.” Su Cheng shook hands with MacLehose and said with a smile.

“Mr. Su’s affairs are major events for our government, there’s no trouble at all.” MacLehose waved his hand.

“Governor, let’s go upstairs and talk.” Wei Li said from the side.

“Okay, please lead the way.” MacLehose replied.

The group quickly returned to the laboratory again.

“Governor, this is our newly developed product, which we call a mobile phone or cellular phone. It can be carried around, allowing you to make and receive calls at any time without having to use a landline.” Su Cheng took a machine and handed it to MacLehose, while also introducing it.

“Mobile phone? I heard that the United States is developing it. I heard about this stuff many years ago, but there was no news about it later.”

As the top leader in Hong Kong, MacLehose is also very interested in news from the outside world, so he also knew about the DynaTAC mobile phone that Motorola developed in the first place. At that time, this matter caused a stir around the world, and many people were looking forward to its early promotion and commercial use. Unfortunately, more than 5 years have passed, and it has still not been commercialized.

“Yes, that’s the one.” Su Cheng said with a smile.

“Can I try it?” MacLehose said with great interest.

This is a revolutionary product, and MacLehose was a little excited.

“Of course, there is a light on this machine. Green indicates that there is a signal. Governor, you can dial any phone number, but currently you can only dial Hong Kong domestic calls. We are still developing the international long-distance call signal.” Wei Li said from the side.

International long-distance calls require switching, which is not difficult, but the most important thing for Hutchison Telecom's laboratory is to conduct domestic testing in Hong Kong, so the matter of international long-distance calls has not been studied for the time being.

MacLehose pressed a string of numbers on the mobile phone, and soon the call went through smoothly.
