20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2814 BlackBerry

Although Weng Meiya's husband had basically ignored her for a long time and lived a sexless marriage like a pure brother, he even thought she was a nuisance and kept urging her to study abroad with him.

She felt lonely, cold and resentful in her heart, but she never thought of having sex with another man to betray or take revenge on her husband.

But from the ambiguity between her and Zhao Changan last night to her pretending to be reserved today, they had a tacit understanding. Together with Ju Han, she had a little shy pride of a girl, and the same little emotions as her lover.

At this time, Weng Meiya was desperate and eager, even like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert. Seeing the clear springs and lakes in front of her, she felt unbearable and suppressed the countless itchy thoughts in her heart.

This feeling made her feel scared, new, and excited.

This is the true power of a gentleman, just like Wen Ye in Zhao Changan’s previous life, who could make those old aunts and sisters crazy enough to give everything for him.

"Crack~"

The Swedish torch outside the RV was still burning, making crisp popping sounds.

  Weng Meiya knew that tonight was destined to be difficult!

"Meiya."

The voice was so soft that Weng Meiya thought she was hallucinating.

"Meiya."

The voice became even softer, and only then did Weng Meiya realize that it was Ju Han who was calling her in a low voice.

But at this time she really didn't want to say anything more, so she just pretended to sleep without saying a word.

Then,--

"shameless!"

I heard Ju Han quietly get out of bed, put on a short thin woolen coat, walked out of the RV, and gently closed the door.

While Weng Meiya was shocked, she felt sour in her heart and angrily cursed Ju Han for being indecent and cheap.

-

Zhao Changan was so excited and relaxed that he couldn't sleep for a while. The temperature had dropped on this winter night. Although he was a strong young man, he thought it would be warm so why would he suffer the cold? He moved a recliner and sat next to the Swedish torch, warming himself by the fire and thinking about things.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, December 12th, and there were still four days before the hunting ban.

At the end of the day, on the 15th, he will leave the campground and return to BlackBerry to make a real decision on the configuration and features of the RIM6230 next-generation replacement phone.

Although he already had a general idea in his mind, he still had to think over the possible chain reactions of this decision.

RIM entered the North American market by manufacturing pagers and establishing a service desk to provide corporate/personal email services based on the BES+BIS framework.

The earliest one was the Inter@ctive Pager, also known as Pager 96, launched in September 9.

As an early pager device, it only provided basic email and WAP Internet services.

Later, RIM created the BlackBerry brand and launched the 850 and 950, two pagers with PAD functions, which had more functions and were more powerful.

Among them, BlackBerry 850 is the first model named "BlackBerry" and uses BlackBerry OS1.0 system.

98年推出的BlackBerry950，售价399美元，另外还需要支付9.95美元至59.95美元不等的服务费。

Moreover, after the contract service period expires, if you want to continue using it, you will need to pay the monthly service fee.

Both products are horizontal versions, highlighting the mini computer keyboard attributes, and are positioned as future PAD products.

Mike's creativity and technical design level, coupled with Jim's marketing ability, made BlackBerry 950's sales volume successfully rank among the top three in the North American high-end pager field, on par with Microsoft and Palm.

In 99, RIM officially decided to enter the mobile phone market. In early 99, it launched two vertical pager models, BlackBerry 857/957, but they were still defined as PAD electronic products with pager functions, accumulating technology in advance for the development of mobile phones.

Subsequently, Mike's technical team developed BlackBerry's first concept phone.

RIM5810.

Vertical version, supports voice calls, but requires an external headset.

Moreover, while RIM5810 has the GSM calling function, it continues to use the BES+BIS framework, and has the functions of two-way paging and timely email sending and reading.

However, this external headset was too impractical. With the strong R&D capabilities of Mike's team, it took less than two months to launch the RIM6200, RIM6210, and RIM6230 series of models with built-in earpieces.

Finally it was decided to mass produce the RIM6230.

In the following two years, BlackBerry launched 957 and 962 in its main two-way paging business, but it has not carried out any product iteration or upgrade in the mobile phone field and has always stuck to RIM6230.

In fact, it is not that Jim, Mike, and Doug are backward and conservative, but that after analyzing BlackBerry's current situation, they made realistic, sober and pragmatic direction choices and decisions.

Because when BlackBerry belatedly entered the mobile phone market in 99, the mobile phone industry around the world had already begun a bloody battle for market share.

Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Siemens, Philips, Sagem, Alcatel, Samsung, Sony, LG, --

The entire market grassland is beginning to enter the dark night when the big crocodiles will raise their price knives to kill the new forces in machine manufacturing.

Under such circumstances, if BlackBerry slows down its main pager business and rashly spends huge amounts of money to enter the mobile phone industry, it will most likely die.

In 99, BlackBerry, Microsoft, and Palm divided the North American two-way pager market into three parts, each with its own focus.

However, each company is eyeing each other's market share with eager eyes.

As long as BlackBerry can keep its own territory, at least it can survive comfortably for now. If it invests a large amount of money in gambling on the mobile phone industry without knowing the consequences and fails, it will be doomed.

This is why, two years ago, Yinaomi United Heavy Chemical Industry Group and Tianyue Group invited Canada's Nortel to invest in a mobile phone factory. BlackBerry was even willing to invest in the joint venture by only holding a small stake.

The purpose is for BlackBerry to continue competing head-on with Microsoft and Palm in the pager market, while trying to enter the mobile phone industry through Tianyue Future.

Before September this year, why was Jim so disgusted with the proposal made by Zhao Changan and him to jointly establish a mobile phone factory? Because BlackBerry had not iterated RIM9 for more than two years, which in itself was an attitude.

In fact, at that time, Jim was about to convince Mike and Doug that Fairfax Financial should completely withdraw from the mobile phone market at the appropriate time, and BlackBerry would focus on making PAD wireless interconnected handheld computers for political and business elites.

As a result, Zhao Changan kept moving BlackBerry's stocks back and forth, making a fuss about it, which made Doug frustrated and he sold most of his shares, leaving only 1%.

Mike was conquered by the blueprint of future wireless communication electronic products that Zhao Changan outlined to him. It is not only a mobile phone, but also a computer that can project a virtual keyboard and screen, a TV, and a remote control. With the mobile phone as the hub, it builds an integrated platform for future smart work and life.

That's why Mike and Doug signed a joint action agreement with Zhao Changan's Yinnano.

This is also why Jim angrily scolded Mike for being confused and stupid, and said that bringing BlackBerry into the mobile phone industry would ruin the company's future.

Because all over the world, the price of mobile phones has dropped rapidly from one or two thousand (US dollars) two years ago, four or five hundred last year, to one or two hundred now.

  In terms of brand, technology and other aspects, RIM is no match for those crocodiles with their bloody mouths wide open. What awaits it is only ruthless slaughter. There is no other possibility!

Jim's words made Mike feel uneasy, but the mobile phone dream that Zhao Changan outlined for him made him obsessed.

So he was willing to follow Zhao Changan in a fight to the death, and if he failed, he would die!

As a result, no one could have expected that this September would change many of the world's political, military and economic structures, directions, targets, compromises, concessions and cooperation.

BlackBerry has also changed!

BlackBerry encountered an opportunity to change its destiny, which meant that BlackBerry no longer had any pressure to enter the mobile phone market.
