Bao Junyi arrives in 1972.
Bao Junyi transmig...
Harrison, the head of Vodafone, stood up and said, "Mr. Bao, building a city would cost around $30 million. That's a huge investment."
"Besides, you didn't do anything, yet you still want to take 50% of the profits. We absolutely cannot agree to this."
The other giants at the scene all nodded silently.
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "Mr. Harrison, it's not like we didn't do anything."
"We at Miracle Group will provide technical support and equipment upgrades in the future."
"As you may know, equipment upgrades and smooth maintenance are very costly in terms of capital and scientific research costs."
Charles from AT&T interrupted, "Mr. Bao, if we follow your vision and want to cover most cities in the United States, we at AT&T will need to advance billions of dollars."
"This is not very realistic. Moreover, we still need to purchase equipment, and it is unknown how long it will take to recoup the investment."
"At the same time, you're taking 50% of the profits, which is absolutely unacceptable to us."
Bao Junyi said with a gloomy face, "What do you mean?"
Yamamoto Takeo, the head of NTT DoCoMo in the Land of Sakura, smiled and said, "Mr. Bao, if you provide the equipment for free, we will install and operate it, and we'll split the profits 50-50."
"After all, you are familiar with technology, and we are familiar with operations. By collaborating, we can both share profits."
Bao Junyi's face darkened as he sneered, "Oh, you're trying to get something for nothing again!"
"You don't have to do anything, just provide some people to install and operate, and I'll provide the equipment and technology, and in return I want half of it?"
"Why don't I do it myself? Why do I need you to do it? Am I crazy? Or are you guys crazy?"
"Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
“Puff!”
Charles just drank the coffee and spat it out. He didn’t expect the Sakura Country to be so brave!
"Cough...cough cough."
He said embarrassedly, "S...sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, you guys continue."
Yamamoto Takeo from the Sakura Country was so angry after being scolded by Bao Junyi that he didn't know how to refute. They originally wanted to get something for nothing and exchange the market for technology, but they didn't expect to be ridiculed by their peers.
Bao Junyi didn't waste any words and said directly, "Everyone, you are all giants in the communications field and you know wireless communications. For many people, time is money, especially in financially oriented cities like Wall Street in New York, London, and Tokyo."
"A single stock market transaction with a delay of a few seconds can result in a loss of millions or even tens of millions of dollars."
"So, once you build the base stations and launch our miracle phone into the market, the popularity and daily spending will be staggering."
"At most, it will only take six months to recover the cost. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the pilot program in Xiangjiang."
"boom!"
Major telecommunications operators in various countries were shocked by Bao Junyi's analysis.
At this moment, Charles was tapping his fingers on the table. He knew better than anyone how terrifying the miracle phone was to the financial sector, so he was struggling over whether to make a decision right away. Otherwise, if someone else snatched it away, he would faint in the toilet crying.
Charles hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Bao, we at AT&T won't wait any longer."
"We decided to take over a dozen cities in the eastern and western United States, including New York, Washington, San Francisco..."
"But we don't accept a 50-50 split, we only accept an 82-80 split!"
Bao Junyi smiled and thought for a moment before saying, "Mr. Charles, you are very courageous, but an 80/20 split is impossible."
"Since you are the first one to purchase and sign the contract, I can give you a 70%/30% share of the profits. However, I will only send technicians to perform upgrades and optimizations on a regular basis. The rest will be handled by you."
Charles clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Mr. Bao, no problem."
"Then congratulations in advance, we have a pleasant cooperation!"
The major telecom operators at the scene all looked at each other in disbelief.
They were all cursing in their hearts: "Hey, we agreed to advance and retreat together, but I didn't expect you to run away directly."
"When he left, he stabbed us in the back."
Everyone at the scene stared at Charles, wanting to kill him right then and there.
Suddenly, Charles felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw those pairs of murderous eyes. His whole body trembled as he looked at them. He quickly turned his head away and smiled awkwardly, with cold sweat on his forehead.
However.
As a result of Charles's opening remarks, Cellnet from the Eagle Country, E-Plus from Germany, SFR from France, and NTT DoCoM0 from the Sakura Country could not help but sign contracts one after another, fearing that their competitors would snatch their market share.
At the same time, the four communication giants purchased base station equipment worth a maximum of US$400 million and a minimum of more than US$200 million. The four companies signed contracts worth a total of US$1.068 billion.
The rest, several major telecom operators, are still hesitating and waiting for the actual test results in Hong Kong tomorrow.
The next day.
Located in front of the Miracle Mobile Store in Central, Hong Kong.
At this time, there was a long queue, a crowd of people, and a large number of reporters and media were squatting around, with camera flashes flashing constantly.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
The spacious door of the Miracle Mobile phone direct-operated store slowly opened, and the staff inside and Miracle security maintained order.
The venue adopts a diversion mode, with waves of people entering. In addition, guests can also experience free contact with friends and family in Hong Kong.
"Aqiang, are you queuing too?"
"Yes, Haozi, you come today too."
"I have no choice but to buy a few for my boss. We work in finance, and Miracle Phones are so convenient."
Haozi smiled bitterly and said, "Me too, but I heard that everyone who comes to buy this time can try it for free and use it to call family and friends for a few minutes."
"That's good. It wasn't in vain that I waited in line for so long this time."
However, among the group of reporters nearby.
"Wales, look at this crowd, there are at least tens of thousands of people lined up."
Ryan nodded and said, "Well, luckily this place is big enough. After 10,000 people, we can just get a number and not be asked to queue."
"But if the Miracle Phone is so expensive, why are so many people buying it?"
"After all, the cheapest phone is $2,999, which is about HKD. Is Hong Kong really that rich?"
Wales shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you think all the people buying these are white-collar workers? Besides, most of them are bosses' secretaries or employees."
"I even saw several financial executives buying several at once."
Ryan was shocked and said, "I can understand it for the bosses and secretaries, but why do the white-collar workers buy this? Are they trying to show off?"
"You don't understand. When discussing business, don't you look at the brands people are wearing or driving?"
"They are the same. They need a storefront. Otherwise, how can big clients negotiate business with you?"
Wales was speechless and replied: "Can it be done this way?"
