Xing Baohua vaguely remembers that Motorola was one of the earliest manufacturers to start playing with satellites as a company.
Yes, Project Istar and Project Starlink.
It seems that preparations were made in the late 1980s, but it was implemented in the early 1990s. A total of more than fifty or sixty rockets were launched into the sky. Within a few years, motorcycles could not keep up with the demand. In total, more than 20,000 users were developed worldwide.
The losses were catastrophic. The entire motorcycle company was almost dragged down by this plan, but fortunately, the company's top management cut losses in time to avoid further damage.
Xing Baohua is trying to paint a big pie in the sky, a pie in the sky to fool people about motorcycles.
I did whatever came to mind and started writing a feasibility report.
We need to tell motorcyclists how satellites make money. How much can they earn just from phone bills?
A service fee must be charged.
Bind customers.
The system includes a rescue positioning system, small SOS devices, and, later, car navigation services.
First, implement the global ship system. With so many ships, who knows if there will be any accidents! Put a small SOS locator on every life jacket, life ring, and even lifeboat.
In case of an emergency, you can press the button on the SOS button, and the small device will send the coordinates to the central control.
Once the ships are almost finished, we'll try to get together and develop in-car navigation systems.
Xing Baohua estimated that this was unlikely; it would be extremely difficult to do. The United States could do it, but others couldn't, especially people from the communist countries.
It's difficult, but we can talk to them and persuade them. Right now, we can't resist Xing Baohua's persuasion.
Putting aside the cost of a single satellite, could Motorola even cover its annual usage fees from its 20,000 customers? It's said that launching a single rocket costs over 100 million US dollars.
I don't know if it's true or not. Xing Baohua is willing to bet that domestic shipping costs are definitely more than half cheaper than shipping costs from the United States.
In other words, Xing Baohua wanted to collaborate with Motorola on satellite research and development in China, and then use China's Long March series rockets to transport the satellites into space.
Well, this pie in the sky is so outrageous that even Xing Baohua can't believe it. He can use satellites to fool people. If it actually works, he can brag about it for the rest of his life.
Could someone who started out making knock-off mobile phones one day play space games like Max?
This is something you can brag about for a lifetime. Things like Grandpa Mou bombing the Himalayas or trading canned goods for airplanes are just child's play.
Okay, Xing Baohua admits he can't play it himself and can only rely on the research and development capabilities of motorcycles.
Moreover, they may not necessarily locate their research and development units in China; many of their ideas are just Xing Baohua's own assumptions.
But he could only hope that he could succeed by blowing it.
Just thinking about it is exciting, gives me energy, and makes writing incredibly fast. A perfectly boastful plan, completed in an afternoon.
Just then, Director Lin came to see Xing Baohua again. He saw Xing Baohua holding a few bills and grinning foolishly. He knocked on the door and came in without even noticing.
Curious, I walked over to see what could possibly attract Xing Baohua's attention.
Upon seeing Xing Baohua's feasibility plan, and then reading the lines about transporting satellites, his face changed.
"Are you going to launch a satellite?"
Startled by the sudden sound in his ear, Xing Baohua turned around and saw Director Lin. He quickly put the feasibility report in his hand into the drawer.
He said to Director Lin, "Why are you here? I didn't even notice."
"I knocked on the door several times, but you didn't hear me. Your attention was completely focused on those few pieces of paper. No, are you trying to launch a satellite?"
Xing Baohua fell silent, unsure of what to say. This was an opportunity to profit from the situation, which might be useful to motorcyclists, but could be a disaster for local officials.
This "launching a satellite" is different from what he meant by "launching a satellite"!
But then again, it's all just bragging!
