Everyone was excited after hearing Warren Tony's calculations.
This money is too easy to make!
"President Lu, speed is of the essence. The sooner we launch PHS, the greater the benefits! I think Hong Kong Telecom needs to deploy base stations as soon as possible. President Lu, please make sure that Wujiang Communication Technology Company has sufficient base station equipment and PHS mobile phones!" Luke Teresa said to Lu Jia.
Lu Jia smiled and nodded: "No problem, don't worry. Wujiang Factory has a strong production capacity, enough to supply the entire Hong Kong market."
The production capacity of the Wujiang factory was originally designed to be comparable to that of the mainland, so meeting the needs of Hong Kong would have been a piece of cake.
...
To develop mobile phones and PHS (Personal Handyphone System) devices, Loongson Design Company assembled its best personnel to collaborate with Wujiang Communication Technology Company on the development of radio frequency chips, CDMA chips, digital baseband processors, power management chips, audio processing chips, and more.
In mobile terminals, the most crucial components are the radio frequency (RF) chip and the baseband chip. The RF chip is responsible for RF transmission and reception, frequency synthesis, and power amplification; the baseband chip is responsible for signal processing and protocol processing.
Based on its own needs and to accelerate chip development, Wujiang Communication Technology naturally chose to cooperate with the powerful Loongson Design Company.
At Wujiang Microelectronics, the radio frequency chip and baseband chip have been successfully fabricated and tested on a small scale in China. The signal is excellent, the performance is extremely stable, and the call quality is clear.

Shanghai.
At this moment, Zhao Ye was fiddling with a prototype PHS phone. This PHS phone was light and slender. Compared with the brick-like Motorola mobile phone, it was definitely an ultra-light and ultra-thin design. The whole phone weighed only 168g, and it was small and comfortable to hold in the hand.
Its exterior features a candybar design with smooth, flowing lines. The main body is finished in an elegant silver-gray on both sides, while the center is available in a variety of colors including Sunshine Gold, Moonlight Silver, Sunset Glow, Sunset Red, and Midnight Gray, each exuding a deep and affectionate charm. Vertical stripes in different crystal colors add a finishing touch, instantly enlivening the surface. The overall design is simple, natural, and unobtrusive, showcasing a refined and elegant style, and delivering a fashionable feel as promised.
"Compared to the Motorola 'brick,' this PHS phone is practically a work of art! If it weren't for the inability to make roaming calls, it would be practically flawless. Motorola phones aren't great either; analog signal communication is poor, and you have to speak loudly when making calls, attracting stares from those around you. But it seems pretty cool though..."
Zhao Ye placed the PHS phone on the left side of the table, then couldn't help but glance at the Motorola mobile phone on the right side of the table.
Compared to the two, Zhao Ye couldn't help but look down on Motorola mobile phones even more.
It's a big brick, inconvenient to carry around, and it consumes a lot of electricity.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Ye called out, "Come in."
Immediately, Liu Yinyin pushed open the door and walked in.
"Boss, Mr. Lu has sent word that Hong Kong Telecom plans to invest HK$500 million to build 5,000 base stations throughout Hong Kong!"
"Okay, I understand."
Zhao Ye thought for a moment and said to Liu Yinyin, "Notify the Wujiang factory in Beiping to speed up production and be prepared to increase capacity at any time. I expect that once the situation in Hong Kong improves, the Xiaolingtong project will be launched in mainland China very soon!"
"yes!"
In fact, having heard rumors, people in Shenzhen have already contacted Wujiang Communications Technology Co., Ltd., and the company's attitude has been very positive. It's possible that Shenzhen will launch PHS (Personal Handyphone System) service even before Beijing!
...
In mid-August, the first batch of base station equipment arrived in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Telecom immediately organized manpower to start building base stations.
Because the coverage area of PHS (Personal Handyphone System) is very small, with a radius of only about 300 meters, the installation of base stations in cities often has to be carried out on the rooftops of residents' homes.
Therefore, it's impossible for them not to attract attention.
Soon, news about PHS (Personal Handyphone System) spread throughout Hong Kong, sparking heated discussions among Hong Kong residents.
ATV sent a reporter to interview Luke Teresa, the general manager of Hong Kong Telecom, to introduce PHS (Personal Handyphone System) to the people of Hong Kong.
The Oriental Daily News also published an article explaining what a PHS phone is.
It caused a huge sensation at the time.
"Wujiang has announced that it will hold a product launch conference in Hong Kong soon to announce the details of the PHS phone, but it is said that the price will be several times cheaper than Motorola mobile phones!"
"Haha, PHS phones are great! Although they can only make calls within Hong Kong, they're cheap. All my relatives, friends, and siblings are in Hong Kong, so buying a PHS phone is enough for me. Why would I spend extra money to buy a Motorola mobile phone?"
"..."
The news quickly reached the United States, and the most direct impact was reflected in the stock market. Motorola's stock price plummeted, resulting in losses of over $1 billion in just a few days!
Motorola Corporation.
Everyone was speechless and helpless.
This Wujiang Group must be Motorola's lifelong enemy, always going against Motorola!
Everyone couldn't help but feel an intense hatred for the Wujiang Group.
It's fair to say that the Wujiang has become a thorn in Motorola's side.
Motorola was initially the dominant player in the pager market, but then Motorola entered the fray and stole its dominant position.
In the telecommunications equipment market, the emergence of the Wujiang Wanxian PBX (a type of PBX) has severely damaged Motorola's interests.
Currently, mobile phones are Motorola's core business. And now, Wujiang Group is causing trouble again.
"Based on the information I've gathered, the PHS phone is really just so-so. The technology is very low-end. It can't even make roaming calls; it can only make local calls, limiting it to one city or one region," a senior technical executive said with a disdainful look. However, his eyes betrayed him. Of course, the PHS phone has its merits. Its advantages and disadvantages are both obvious. It can solve the communication needs of most people, and its market prospects are broad.
