Chapter 156 Plans to Promote Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service)



The Shanghai Animation Film Studio has many professional screenwriters who are far more professional than I am, so I still call on them to write stories.

The Calabash Brothers game is very popular all over the world and has a large number of fans. With the release of the animated film of the same name, there should be a lot of fans who will support it.

With this in mind, Zhao Ye finally decided to make "Calabash Brothers" into an animated film. He instructed, "Also, make 'Calabash Brothers' into an animated film!"

The Shanghai Animation Film Studio has more than 3,200 employees and a sufficient number of animators, so it can easily launch multiple projects at the same time.

Currently, those in China who aspire to work in animation production can only seek employment at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Other domestic companies simply cannot operate animation studios and will be caught in a pincer movement between Japanese animation and animation from the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

These two companies offer their animated films for free, so how can other companies compete? They have absolutely no chance...

TV stations will never buy your cartoons. Isn't it better to have free cartoons?

This led to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio growing larger and larger, like a snowball rolling downhill.

Zhao Ye, however, was pleased with the outcome.

He could easily leverage the Shanghai Animation Film Studio to produce animated films from all the wildly popular IPs from his previous life and preemptively register the copyrights.

However, Zhao Ye did have a conscience; he prioritized securing overseas IPs, while he didn't care about domestic IPs—whether he secured them or not was up to him.

As a university professor, Zhao Ye's writing skills are also quite good.

They are generally able to clearly express their thoughts through writing.

A few days later, Zhao Ye handed over the detailed story outlines of "The Lion King" and "Jurassic Park" to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, thus completing a major task.

Before leaving, he reminded them to send people to Africa to gather inspiration, so that the animated characters they drew would be lifelike.

...

In the United States, Disney has not yet begun production of "The Lion King".

It is said that the inspiration for The Lion King came from late 1988, and production of the film began in 1991.

By the time Disney was ready to produce it, it was too late.

"Brother Wang, take me to Wujiang Communications Technology Company," Zhao Ye instructed Wang Shuang, the driver and bodyguard in front of him.

"OK."

Under the watchful eyes of Xu Xiangming and the others, several black Mercedes-Benz W14s sped away.

...

"Boss, the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology has been successfully developed and patents have been applied for in various major countries. When do you think we should start promoting PHS technology?" Lu Jia asked expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye hesitated. If the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology was promoted now, what would happen to the pagers?

The cost of a PHS phone is very low, and its selling price is not much higher than that of a pager.

Once the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) is launched, it will inevitably seize the pager market.

This put Zhao Ye in a difficult position.

"Leaving aside the PHS phone, has Motorola released a word pager yet?" Zhao Ye asked.

"Motorola has not yet made an official announcement, but according to rumors, Motorola's word pager has been successfully developed and is about to enter the mass production stage."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, the factory will focus on producing two-way pagers and program-controlled exchanges. One-way pagers will be discontinued, and we should release them before other companies launch their pagers."

"Also, contact the post office to sound out their attitude and whether they are willing to promote PHS technology in China!"

For PHS (Personal Handyphone System) to achieve nationwide coverage, it would require investing in and building numerous base stations, a huge expense that would certainly necessitate careful consideration from the government. The research and discussion alone would take a considerable amount of time.

Then comes the deployment of base stations, which also takes a considerable amount of time.

It will take at least one or two years for PHS phones to be widely used.

Pagers will continue to sell well for another two years. Of course, even with the promotion of PHS (Personal Handyphone System), it doesn't mean that pagers will lose their market.

Pagers can be discounted to a few hundred yuan, so people who can't afford a mobile phone can buy a pager instead.

As the saying goes, "small profits but quick turnover," the sales volume of pagers may be quite considerable.

"By the way, how is the CDMA technology development progressing?"

"The progress is slow, and it still lags behind GSM in Europe. I estimate that our CDMA will only be able to be commercialized when GSM starts to become widespread in Europe..." Lu Jia shook his head and sighed, "After all, we are three or four years behind them."

GSM digital mobile communication technology was released in 1987, and European countries gradually began to deploy GSM.

It seems unlikely that CDMA will be able to enter the European market.

However, the Asian market is worth competing for.

Wujiang Communications Technology's CDMA technology is not mature, so they have to use PHS (Personal Handyphone System) as a temporary substitute. PHS is actually more suitable for China's national conditions and its development in China will only be more rapid.

...

At that time, the domestic postal and telecommunications services had not yet been separated.

For the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology to be promoted in the country, it must obtain the approval of the post and telecommunications bureau.

Lu Jia began to frequently visit the post office, explaining the technological advantages of Xiaolingtong to the leaders in detail, striving to reach a cooperation agreement between the two parties.

Currently, the two sides are in good contact.

Although the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology has significant drawbacks, such as the inability to roam and its limitation to use only within the province, most people do not need roaming functionality when making calls. If you absolutely need to make a roaming call, you can do so through a landline.

In addition, the low cost of PHS phones made them very suitable for promotion in the country.

Therefore, the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology quickly attracted the attention of the post and telecommunications bureau and even higher-level departments...

"Unexpectedly, Wujiang Group has given us another huge surprise!"

"Haha, Zhao Ye is a good person. In recent years, Wujiang Group has developed rapidly and made great contributions to the country. In the field of semiconductor technology, it has also caught up with the world's first-class level!"

"..."

Zhao Ye was unaware that he had once again come into the spotlight of Zhongbeihai, with the leaders praising him highly…
