Dozens of Imagine-page phone cases appeared on the market. Although they were made of plastic and not worth much, they became the weapon that buried Motorola Bravo.
The Motorola Bravo is only available in black.
The Imagine-pager, however, can be transformed into many different styles by adding a case, making it highly personalized and irresistible.
At this moment, even if the Motorola Bravo were to be priced lower than the Imagine-page, probably no one would be willing to buy it unless the price were ridiculously low.
...
Wujiang Company.
The boss's conference room.
Both Li Aoyun and Liu Yinyin showed expressions of admiration.
"Boss, you have no idea! Ever since we launched our pager casing, we've completely crushed Motorola's Bravo business!" Liu Yinyin exclaimed excitedly, describing the scene vividly. "At noon, I went to a nearby shopping mall and it was terrifying! Dozens of people were queuing up to buy Imagine-pagers, while the Motorola Bravo stores were practically deserted!"
"Boss, how did you come up with the idea of developing a pager casing? That's amazing!" Liu Yinyin looked at Zhao Ye with admiration and respect in her eyes.
Zhao Ye's lips twitched. He had only said it casually at the time, but he never expected it to become the key to defeating Motorola Bravo.
"Your boss has even more amazing skills; you should learn them well in the future!" Zhao Ye said with a smile.
"Yes! I will definitely study hard!" Liu Yinyin nodded earnestly in response.
Zhao Ye then turned to a tall, thin man wearing glasses in the room and said, "Manager Lu, the pager casing isn't anything high-tech. If we can make it, others can too. To stay ahead of the competition, we must be one generation ahead in technology. We must develop the Chinese-display pager before Motorola!"
Lu Jia, the pager department manager, said in a deep voice, "Yes! Boss, please rest assured. We started developing Chinese character pagers earlier than Motorola, and we have made some breakthroughs. Give us another year or so, and we will definitely be able to develop the Chinese character pager."
"Hmm!" Zhao Ye nodded and responded softly, then his expression turned thoughtful.
The Chinese character pager is considered the ultimate version.
Further development would be pointless.
So, what should the pager division research during its transformation?
GSM phone? CDMA phone?
Of course!
However, in the 2G era, mobile phones were still expensive, costing tens of thousands of yuan each, and very few people in China could afford them.
Um? ?
Zhao Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
Why not build PHS (Personal Handyphone System) phones? PHS handsets are cheap and inexpensive, and the base stations are also relatively inexpensive; the only problem is the limited coverage area. More base stations can be built. Although PHS doesn't support roaming, most people in China don't need it. If you really want to make roaming calls, you can use a landline.
[Personalized mobile phones cost one or two thousand yuan, while GSM phones cost ten or twenty thousand yuan. For at least the next ten years, Personalized mobile phones are destined to win!]
[Write this down, remember this. Wujiang needs to develop the technology and apply for a patent before the Japanese develop the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology.]
...
Inside the Institute of Computing Technology, a gloomy atmosphere prevailed.
Liu Chuanzhi originally thought that becoming a distributor of Motorola pagers would bring the company a fortune, but unexpectedly, it seems that this time they will suffer a loss, as Motorola Bravo is not selling well.
Many distributors have already returned the goods.
When buying pagers in China, I only trust the Imagine brand.
However, Yanagawa felt that Motorola's Bravo business could still be saved.
He has already started designing the casing for the Motorola Bravo, and once the casing is released, they can turn the tide.
"Short-term success or failure is not enough to judge a hero; only those who laugh last will be judged!" Liu Chuanzhi said with a faint smile. The reason he was still full of confidence was because he had suggested to Motorola that they develop a pager with Chinese characters. Numbers could not compare to Chinese characters, which could express meaning more clearly. And his suggestion was adopted by Motorola.
"Once Motorola develops a pager with a Chinese character display, I wonder how the Imagine-page will be able to compete with it?" Liu Chuanzhi felt more and more pleased as he thought about it.
Fortunately, he was unaware that after developing the digital pager, Wujiang Company had been working tirelessly on developing a Chinese character pager for almost a year. Otherwise, Liu Chuanzhi probably wouldn't be smiling.
Although Motorola's technology is slightly better than Wujiang's, it will be difficult for Motorola to catch up in a short period of time due to the one-year gap.

...
In the 1980s, relations between China and the Soviet Union were not close.
Fortunately, there are signs of easing tensions between the two sides, and Lu Maoshi's trip to the Soviet Union should not pose any security problems.
After more than ten days, Lü Maoshi and several of his men, having obtained their visas, boarded a train from the capital directly to Moscow.
To be honest, obtaining a visa to the Soviet Union was not easy. Zhao Ye used all sorts of connections to help Lü Maoshi and his group get their visas quickly.
When Lü Maoshi and his entourage arrived at the Moscow train station, they saw someone holding a sign that read "Welcome Lü Maoshi of Wujiang!" as soon as they reached the exit.
"Mr. Lü, the boss has arranged for someone to pick us up!" a man next to Lü Maoshi said in surprise.
"Let's go over and ask."
As he spoke, Lü Maoshi took the lead and walked towards the person holding the sign.
Upon hearing this, the others quickly followed.
Soon, Lü Maoshi and his group walked up to the man holding the sign.
