Chapter 1074 The era of BB machines!
Two days later.

The time came to October 1985, 12.

There are only two days left in 1986.

In the past two days, Taxin has been discussing cooperation with the cabinet of the Empire Group and Empire Games, as well as the introduction of the game products of the Empire Group.

Besides.

Taxin has also been traveling around Xiangjiang.

He found that the development of Xiangjiang was very fast. In this regard, when he came to Xiangjiang before, he didn't feel it, but this time he really felt it.

Today is Sunday.

Yingla did not accompany Yang Ming back to the Empire Group Building.

Instead, he accompanied his second brother Taxin outside Xiangjiang.

"Second Brother, how are you talking with the Empire Group? And are you representing yourself or the Shinawatra Group?"

The Shinawatra family, or the Shinawatra Group, is a very large group, with more than a hundred direct members.If Taxin came on behalf of the Shinawatra family, then it was the cooperation between the Shinawatra Group and the Imperial Group.

If Thaksin himself negotiated with the Imperial Group, it would be Thaksin himself who continued to open his own company.

"Sister, I represent both the Shinawatra family and myself. This time, I was able to cooperate with the Imperial Group because I first proposed that my father and uncle have agreed that I will hold 65% of the newly established company. The family occupies 35% of the shares, mainly because they are afraid that I will continue to lose money in business.”

Yingla already understood.

On one of the busiest streets in Causeway Bay, Yingla and Thaksin, the brother and sister saw many people, except for things beeping, and hurried to the phone booth beside them to make a call.

"Second brother, do you see them?"

"I'll ask."

Dang Taxin went to ask the phone booth owner.

"Sir, this is the most popular BB machine in Xiangjiang."

BB machine?
Actually, it's a pager.

The BB machine, that is, the wireless pager, was first born in the country M in 1955.

However, the real start of commercial use was in the 70s.

In the 80s of Xiangjiang, BB machines became popular.

Like many films in Xiangjiang, BB cameras often appear in them, precisely because BB cameras have entered prime time in Xiangjiang at this time.

Two years ago, although Motorola had begun to produce the first commercial mobile phone, commonly known as a mobile phone, this mobile phone is not only very bulky, but also expensive. It costs several thousand dollars in M ​​country, and it is even more expensive in Xiangjiang. It takes tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to get it.

In the BB machine is much cheaper.

Especially with the development of BB machines, the price of Xiangjiang's BB machines has also dropped a lot.

Now there are more and more companies called Xiangjiang in this area, not only the price of BB machines has dropped, but even the monthly fee has gradually begun to drop.

BB machine?
Taxin was indeed a little surprised.

With the advice of the telephone booth owner, Thaksin and Yingla came to a pager shop, where they saw BB machines produced by various companies for sale.

However, most of the functions, only the call information function, do not seem to be very useful.

After reading it, Taxin was a little disappointed, and found that it was still much worse than even a mobile phone.

However, he knew that if these were also introduced into Siam, it might be really good.

"Second brother, do you want to buy it?" Yingla asked.

"Buy one, I'll go back and study it."

Taxin is a smart person, he can still see the functions and functions of this BB machine.

Dang Taxin bought a BB machine made by Motorola for almost two thousand Hong Kong dollars, and then he could use it after paying the monthly rent as reminded by the shop owner.

"Yingla, I'm in Xiangjiang during this time, so I use this BB machine to contact you."

. . .

Thaksin and Yingluck walked around Causeway Bay for a long time.

That night.

Thaksin went back to stay at the Imperial Hotel.

Yingla took the car back to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Yang Ming didn't go out today.

"Yingla, are you happy going out with your second brother today?"

"Mr. Yang, I went to Causeway Bay and saw many people carrying BB machines with them."

BB machine?
Of course Yang Ming knew.

Even in the 70s, Yang Ming noticed it.

For ordinary people, in this era, this thing is indeed very prestigious and has a lot of face, but it is of no use to a person like Yang Ming.

Usually, his home and company have landline phones, and he also has a car phone in his car. After Motorola's mobile phone is commercially available, Yang Ming can even afford to use a mobile phone. This kind of BB phone has become popular in Xiangjiang, but he is not interested.

in history.

Yang Ming knew that after Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Communications started as a pager company.

In addition to Li Jiacheng's Hutchison Whampoa, and Zheng's New World Telecommunications Company also developed from a pager company.

Yes, Hutchison Whampoa is now acquired by Imperial Group.

The Imperial Group itself has acquired the Xiangjiang Telephone Company and the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Group. The communication industry of Xiangjiang has been monopolized by the Imperial Group.

As for pagers, Yang Ming knew that no matter in Xiangjiang or in China, they would only be popular for ten years at most, and they would soon be replaced by mobile phones.

Even so, there are still such pager companies under the Imperial Group.

"Do you like BB machines?" Yang Ming asked.

"I don't like it. Didi is too noisy. My second brother bought one and said he would use it to communicate with me."

Yang Ming smiled when he heard it.

Historically, Thaksin became the richest man in Siam at one time by entering Siam Telecom, and then further became the Prime Minister of Siam.

It seems that Taxin in this world is still developing according to the original path.

. . .

Early the next day.

Today is January 1985, 12.

Monday.

The weather outside was a bit cold, Yang Ming just got up for a walk, and did not swim for exercise.

After he finished his walk, he had breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife.

Learned from the newspapers.

The supercomputer software company that now monopolizes the global operating system will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on January 1986, 1.

Among them, Supercomputer Software Company will be the first company to be listed on the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Originally, the supercomputer software company had already attracted the attention of many capital and investors, and the boss of this company was Yang Ming.

Today, it is actually going to be listed in two places at the same time. This news has attracted the attention of many people.

no doubt.

This is definitely one of the biggest IPO companies in New York and even Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year.

"Peter, is your company going to be listed?" Yang Jirong asked.

"Yes, Daddy."

This company has only been developing for a few years. Today, its annual profit has already exceeded [-] million US dollars. It is a very promising company in terms of market and development prospects.

Therefore, this company has not yet started listing, and it is destined to attract the attention of global capital.
