Reborn since 1993

Chapter 272 The King’s Flag changes at the top of the city

Carlson was dumbfounded by the news on Yanjing TV. As a mainlander, he knew every word in the news, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand it.

Shouldn't PHS be restricted? Why are the four departments jointly supporting PHS? This script is wrong!
And looking at the news about PHS, who looked like he was wronged and had to cut prices to survive, Carlson felt even more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly. He was so alienated!
Originally, the price of PHS was much cheaper than that of Nokia, Motorola and other brands. Ericsson’s own brand of mobile phones now sell for more than 6,000 yuan. This is the result of the price reduction. Before PHS appeared, Ericsson and others Mobile phones are sold for more than 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.

It's not that Ericsson and Nokia are unwilling to lower prices anymore. It's the cost price that lies there. The labor costs, raw materials, freight, and sales and publicity expenses in Europe are there. The cost of producing machines in Europe is at least twice as high as in China.

In addition, China Unicom is currently the main company promoting GSM base stations in China. Because the number of domestic GSM users is less than one million, it is difficult to recover the cost by simply collecting monthly rent and phone bills. The only option is to take a commission from Ericsson's sales price. , I’ve been going back and forth for a while. To sum up, even if Ericsson cuts prices several times in a row, the price is still much more expensive than PHS, and the phone bill is also expensive.

Originally, Ericsson's price had no advantage and it did not support the Chinese operating interface. Now that PHS has slashed its price again, Carlson can only imagine what will happen to Ericsson, Nokia and other brands.

Fan Dezhi looked at Carlson's constipated expression, thought for a moment and said tactfully, "President Carlson, I have said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although there are many foresighted people who are willing to support more advanced GSM technology. Entering the mainland, there are still many people who are willing to support PHS and PHS, or in other words, support the parent company behind it, Tanglin Hi-Tech!

Ericsson's opponent is not just PHS as a brand, but more importantly, its parent company, Donglin Hi-Tech! "

"The parent company behind PHS, Donglin Hi-Tech, has a status in mainland China that is equivalent to Ericsson's status in Sweden. Will the Swedish interior ministry allow Ericsson to go bankrupt?"

Hearing this, Carlson pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head. Although Old Europe and America both advocated market economy and free competition, at the critical moment, when rivals emerged that could threaten their local giants, Then you will do whatever you can.

Fan Dezhi changed his subject and said to Carlson, "Although we cannot suppress the development of PHS in the mainland this time, the attitude of the post and telecommunications and related departments has also been shown!
Mainland China pays attention to the golden mean. It does not want one company to dominate PHS technology, nor does it want PHS and CDMA technology to completely disappear in the mainland. This is an opportunity for Ericsson. I don’t think it will take long for Ericsson to take over. Go to various post and telecommunications offices to order communication equipment and base stations for the GSM system! "

"but……"

Carlson felt that this wave not only failed to suppress PHS, but actually made PHS like a wild horse running wild, showing signs of being completely unstoppable. With the huge price reduction of PHS and the joint statement of the four departments, he felt that PHS was taking over. I'm also coming down to the mainland, so I'm afraid it will be sold out!

Fan Dezhi came from a government agency and was very familiar with this method. The actions of the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau, including the Electronic Industry Bureau over there, made him understand that the country did not really want to abandon the more advanced GSM and CDMA technology. This time it did somewhat suppress small businesses. Psychic and PHS ideas.

In fact, before mainland China develops its own communication standards, it is not a good thing for any of these three communication technologies to dominate the country. It is best to maintain a delicate balance so that GSM, CDMA, and PHS can all Domestic development allows domestic communication operators, communication equipment manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers, etc. to absorb the most advanced communication equipment technology in the world.

If there were no Tanglin High-tech, it would be impossible to say that PHS was really suppressed this time. Although PHS was developing rapidly in the previous life, it was actually suppressed. News came out every few days that it would be banned from sale. , behind this, there is no GSM.

Carlson's expression became more and more serious. He knew that he was thinking simply this time. He thought that by recruiting a group of giant companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Panasonic, and Samsung, he could suppress PHS, but PHS's parent company, Dongfang Ling Gaoke's influence on the mainland was somewhat beyond his expectation.

But now, before GSM suppresses PHS, Li Dongling directly flips the table. If Ericsson does not want to withdraw from the domestic market, it must invest more in the country. Otherwise, I am afraid it will really be driven out. But Ericsson is willing to leave the mainland market. Is Carlsen willing to admit defeat? !

Carlson may not have guessed the intention behind this, or he may already know it, but at this time he no longer cares. Fan Dezhi's words let him know that although Ericsson was passive, it also had an opportunity.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Carlson came to his senses again. Fan Dezhi allowed Carlson to see clearly the current situation. Ericsson's GSM technology is indeed at a disadvantage in mainland China, but it is not without opportunities!
In the final analysis, Carlson is still a professional manager. Even if he is a scholar, he must be paid in order to maintain his strong character. If he returns to Sweden in such a dejected manner, his career will be severely damaged. Not what Carlson wants to see. "Ericsson will increase its investment in mainland China. Not only GSM system equipment and base stations, but Ericsson's mobile phones will also be put into production in mainland China!"

Knowing the mainland's attitude towards Ericsson, Carlson decided to give it a go. As long as he could make profits in the mainland, all the rumors would disappear, and Ericsson's headquarters would not question his decision.

……

Everything is changing so fast. A few days ago, there were still rumors that PHS might be banned in China. The news was so conclusive that many users who were planning to buy PHS have backed down, and some have even already done so. , all chose to return the goods.

But who would have thought that before the announcement of the ban on PHS came out, a joint statement from the four departments had already been issued. Although the statement never mentioned the name of PHS from beginning to end, the profound Chinese culture , even the Xinwen Network has interpreted it, let alone this statement. In the eyes of experienced veterans, this statement from beginning to end is just a single line of big characters, and the four departments have joined forces to support PHS!
Not surprisingly, the PHS craze that was about to die out suddenly became violent again overnight, and it was much more violent than before!

Hanxi alone is a province that needs to deploy PHS base stations to the county level. Think about the population of Hanxi, which is more than 3513 million, with more than million families. Even in terms of households, Hanxi alone can be born. The demand for PHS mobile phones exceeds five to six million, and this is just one province!
In newspapers, TV, and magazines, there began to be an overwhelming rush to buy PHS. It was even more intense than when it was released. After all, the price is now four to five hundred yuan cheaper.

"I am the Immortal Banban of Ni Ma!"

"Which little brat spread false news and deceived me so miserably!"

There is a large group of people lined up at the entrance of the Chengdu Telecom Business Building, waiting to buy a PHS. The PHS base station here in Chengdu has covered several districts in the main city, and making calls is no longer a problem.

Standing not far from the crowd, the person spitting out the fragrance was a little scalper. Looking at the people queuing up to buy PHS, he slapped his thigh with regret. After the news came out a few days ago, he was hoarding one or two All ten PHS units were sold at a fire sale. At that time, he was lucky that he had shipped them early, otherwise he would have lost everything in his hands.

But who would have thought that instead of being issued a ban on PHS, they were notified of support for PHS. The announcement from the four departments marked that PHS would no longer be hindered in China in the future!

"The single-day sales of PHS units hit a record high again. The single-day sales of PHS units in mainland China exceeded 190,000 units!"

"The current share of PHS in the domestic mobile phone market has exceeded 76%. Out of every ten users who buy a mobile phone, more than seven users will choose PHS!"

"Yanjing UTStarcom announced that it has obtained PHS patent authorization and will produce UTStarcom brand PHS phones. This will be the first brand not owned by Donglin Hi-Tech to produce PHS mobile phones!"

"The reporter confirmed from Donglin Hi-Tech that Tanglin Hi-Tech will conditionally authorize other companies to produce PHS mobile phones with PHS technology!"

News came out one after another. When the crisis was lifted, PHS sales, which had been suppressed for several days, ushered in a retaliatory growth. PHS's single-day sales in mainland China once again hit a record high.

And UTStarcom obtained the patent authorization of PHS, which shocked the entire domestic electronics industry. Many electronic technology companies are ready to make a move, including some major manufacturers!
