Chapter 334 ZTE

Speak human language to humans, and ghost language to ghosts.

Xing Baohua would certainly not say that Toyota had offended him or that he was retaliating against Toyota.

As for what Mitsui Tousaburo said, Toyota would provide many models for Xing Baohua to purchase.

If it weren't for Nissan, Xing Baohua might have considered it. But now, this opportunity isn't appealing anymore.

On the contrary, I feel that Toyota is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions whatsoever.

Therefore, Xing Baohua only wanted to bleed some money from Toyota to heal his wounded heart at that time.

No matter how much Mitsui Tousaburo tried to persuade her, Xing Baohua said she would not go to Japan for the time being, and would not have any contact with Toyota.

Left with no other choice, Mitsui Teng left Xing Baohua's company. He knew that taking on the Toyota job would be difficult!

In the following days, Xing Baohua worked with Morgan's valuation team and liquidation team to liquidate the finances of Wozniak's small firm.

The initial estimated price is over one million US dollars.

The house is rented, and the office furniture isn't very valuable, except for a dozen or so computers that could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The severance pay for employees should be extended by three months.

The remaining money is used to purchase the right to use the code or buy out the rights. All the valuable stuff is here.

Xing Baohua wrote a check, and both parties signed the transfer agreement drafted by the lawyer.

Xing Baohua only needs the code library.

In this era, pairing a universal remote control with a specific brand of appliance is quite cumbersome.

First, find the brand and model number in the instruction manual. Following the instructions, press and hold a button for a few seconds. Wait until the red light flashes a few times before entering the three-digit code as instructed in the manual.

After entering the code, you still need to debug it to see if all the functions of the remote control work!

If some spaces cannot be used normally, then you have to clear them again and try to fix them all over again.

Too much fiddling around can be confusing. Actually, there's nothing particularly relevant to the postgraduate entrance exam; it's purely a test of memory.

Anyway, Xing Baohua spent quite a while tinkering with JAVA code software back then.

Xing Baohua took apart a universal remote control in Woz's small workshop and took a look at its internal structure.

This thing isn't difficult at all. What's there? It's just a microprocessor integrated chip for remote control signals, a crystal oscillator, an amplifying transistor, an infrared LED, an infrared receiving diode, a keyboard matrix, and memory, etc.

The hardware cost of this thing is only a little over two dollars, which includes the plastic casing and soft rubber buttons.

Xing Baohua wouldn't feel bad about losing over a million yuan. He could put it in his phone, sell it for an extra hundred yuan, and slowly recoup his investment.

As the saying goes, an extra feature can be a selling point. After all, the cost is ultimately passed on to the consumer, and a higher price makes it seem more upscale.

It's like the flip phone Samsung released back then, the D508 or something like that.

This is a small external speaker, usually used as a decorative pendant. When needed, it's plugged into the headphone jack on a mobile phone. It's a passive external speaker, about the size of a coin; forget about sound quality, you can't even get the volume up properly.

That's it? You're charging an extra 500! 3800 per unit. 3200 without a speaker.

That thing only costs two or three yuan to make.

But many young and fashionable men and women feel that having an extra external speaker is very trendy, since other phones don't have it, and it's so much more fun to take it out and play music.

It's more than 500 yuan more expensive, but I can grit my teeth and bear it.

After signing the agreement, Xing Baohua didn't linger. He returned to the hotel, packed his things, gave some instructions, and then headed back to Hong Kong.

He rushed to Hong Kong only to be informed by his secretary that Ericsson had finished setting up the system and would begin testing the payment system.

Internal wireless network testing and other related processes.

The no-data-network test only measures how much traffic is being used and what the pricing is.

Many steps are interconnected. Coupled with Nokia's snail-paced construction, Xing Baohua regretted giving them the project.

No matter how many signal towers you build, the area you can only test is small.

This is a large-scale system test, not a small-scale test.

The testing required a large number of engineering units. Xing Baohua had to start by sourcing them from his hometown to Hong Kong. They would begin with a thousand units for testing, covering everything from call quality to basic GPRS data transmission.

The quality of the transmission depends on the reliability of Nokia's signal towers.

What's the point of this thing without internet? Submarine cables are still being laid on the sea surface. How can it be called internet if it doesn't connect to the world?

This thing can only serve to advance things.

Often, the standards for a technology are established first, and then it is commercialized.

GPRS was considered to have a low barrier to entry in its early days; the standard was already conceived when the GSM card was being designed.

Just like Motorola launched the Blade XT910, its ultra-thin concept was a trendsetter at the time.

In particular, the back cover uses ultra-thin Kevlar, making it look like the phone is wearing a bulletproof vest.

This is the fundamental reason for reducing the thickness. Essentially, it involves using Kevlar glue to attach it to the battery.

At the time, this phone was touted as the most advanced 4G internet phone.

Lots of people foolishly bought them! But back then, 3G had only just become widespread. Where were they going to get 4G? They just had to wait!

After waiting for more than a year, some large cities have only just started 4G trials, and the Blade is already outdated before it has even been used much.

Not to mention the RAZR, there's also the Nokia 5800, which boasts WiFi functionality, so you can browse the internet for free.

It attracted many people to buy it, but the price was ridiculously high. After gritting their teeth and buying it, they discovered that there was no WiFi available on the street, and they had to buy a wireless router for home use.

Advanced features should only be used as marketing hype. At the very least, people need to know that some advanced functions are only available on Xiaomi phones and not on other brands.
