These bosses, big and small, were not talking nonsense, they were just trying to get close to Wan Feng around the topic of pagers.
Fortunately, the area of this floor is 120 square meters, and fortunately, all these bosses have not arrived yet.
Otherwise the room would be full with them.
Wan Feng had no complaints at all and very patiently taught them about pagers. After emphasizing the importance of pagers to businessmen, he also subtly gave them some chicken soup for the soul, meaning that pagers were now a symbol of status, and as a boss, if you didn't even have a pager, you were living in vain.
Wan Feng was just talking about this when the pager on his waist started beeping.
Wan Feng took out the pager and looked at the number on it. It was from the garment factory.
After thinking for a while, he took out the cell phone from a bag under the counter.
Bohai finally had roaming in March, and Wanfeng’s mobile phone was finally not just for decoration.
Wan Feng took out his cell phone and called the factory office: "What's going on?"
Luan Feng's giggles came from the phone: "Nothing, just trying to see if the pager works."
"Don't try it, don't waste time, call me, it's only one or two bucks a call."
"Got it, Mr. Wan! Xiaokou, hey, give me a pager, make my pager ring too, and call it quickly! If it doesn't ring within a minute, I'll come to the bay to find you."
"Okay, then you're not allowed to call back."
Wan Feng hung up the phone and dialed the paging station.
The paging station was connected, and a girl, clearly a little nervous, called out, "Hello! Hello!"
"Hello, could you please pass me 00?"
"Could you please leave your phone number?"
""
"Okay sir, goodbye."
After more than ten seconds, Wan Feng's mobile phone rang again.
I knew it was Luan Feng calling.
"It's ringing."
"knew."
"Please call me every hour from now on."
"What's going on again?"
"I just wanted to listen to it. It's quite entertaining."
Wan Feng was furious: "If you have nothing better to do, then use your factory's phone to have fun. I don't have time to entertain you."
"Huh? Can I use the clothing factory's phone to send a message to myself?"
“Isn’t this nonsense?”
“Haha, got it!”
Luan Feng hung up the phone immediately.
Wan Feng could imagine that Comrade Da Xia had found something interesting this time, and she would probably be able to get the paging station to call her within ten minutes.
"Your wife?" asked the boss next to Wan Feng.
Wan Feng gave a bitter laugh: "Who else could it be? I took the pager away an hour ago and I'm having fun now."
These bosses all knew Luan Feng and they all burst into laughter.
"Boss Wan! How much did you spend on this big brother?"
"It's a gift from someone else. I wouldn't spend money on this thing. If you use it to make a long-distance call, it can cost you hundreds of yuan in just a few minutes."
"Holy crap! That's such a big deal! Let's just get a pager first."
After seeing the performance of Wan Feng and his wife just now, the bosses were sure that this was something useful, so they opened their wallets and paid for it.
These bosses have been in the business world for many years. After listening to Wan Feng’s explanation, they immediately realized that this was indeed a useful thing.
They don't just buy one, they usually buy three or four and give them to close friends in the factory.
The most generous person was the director of the mailbox factory. He bought 15 mailboxes at once and said he would give one to every senior executive who came to his factory.
This guy naturally received the same treatment as Wan Feng Shang Yan.
The bosses nearby were dumbfounded when they saw this. They thought they had to buy at least ten or eight machines, otherwise how could they go out?
Just like that, these bosses in Nan Da Wan bought hundreds of units in the morning. These are only a part of the bosses, and most of them have not arrived yet.
Including other sales, the 1,000 pagers delivered by Huaguang were sold out in just one morning.
Bought for over one million.
Zhang Xuan made 200,000 yuan just by selling machines.
The cost of the pager is 650 yuan, and the factory price to Zhang Xuan is 800 yuan. Even if she sells one for 1,000 yuan, she still has a profit of 200 yuan.
She had a small share of the network access fee, but today Wan Feng returned it all to the buyer.
She gets the lion's share of the service fee, about 10%, and still earns 70,000 to 80,000 yuan from the service fee.
On the morning of the first day of opening, Zhang Xuan earned back all her investment.
In the afternoon, Huaguang urgently delivered 500 pagers, and they were sold out before 2 o'clock.
Now we have pagers, so we must have a telephone.
A pager is of little use without a telephone.
It’s not so difficult for the big and small bosses in Nan Da Wan, as almost every factory has a telephone installed. However, pagers without telephones are of no use to them.
After the invention of IC telephones in the 1960s, they have continued to develop and entered China in the mid-1980s.
The first cities to use this type of telephone were Shenzhen and Guangzhou, both of which installed it in 1985.
In May 1985, Shenzhen University Telecommunications Company introduced Swiss Ascom telephones and issued China's first batch of telephone cards for trial use in Shenzhen.
In the same year, the Guangzhou Telecommunications Bureau signed an agreement with the Hong Kong Huangpu Company to introduce 30 Japanese Tamura card machines for trial use, and in 1987, it introduced 400 machines for formal use. It also issued a set of twelve sets of 48 magnetic cards with the same pattern, with four denominations: 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan.
Shanghai was the third city in China to use magnetic card telephones. In February 1988, GPT of the United States tried out a set of three test cards with sky blue backgrounds and red handsets as the main image in Shanghai.
Hundreds of red handset trial phone cards were introduced from abroad, which are the famous red handset phone cards in Shanghai.
In 1989, Beijing Jing first introduced the Japanese Tamura card machine and launched the first set of phone cards produced in Japan: Forbidden City 10 yuan, Panda 10 yuan, Great Wall 20 yuan, Twin Rabbit 50 yuan, Summer Palace 50 yuan, Coiling Dragon 100 yuan, a total of six cards.
These have nothing to do with Jiang Wei and are too far away from him.
It was Bohai that linked Wei Neng to this.
In September 1989, Bohai Telecom also launched Japanese Tamura card machines.
It's not even June yet, and Wan Feng feels that he should talk to the telecommunications department and ask them to bring a few Kacun phones back for Jiangwei when they introduce them to Bohai.
Wan Feng calculated that fifty machines should be enough.
Twenty units are needed in the area around Wahou Market.
Ten units are needed in the bay area.
There is one unit placed at a certain distance in Nandawan, probably about fifteen or sixteen in total. There must be at least two units at the entrance of the remaining Dongshan community. Isn't that distributed?
Unfortunately, Gu Hongzhong and his team may not be able to crack the magnetic card system. However, if they can crack it, Hua Guang may be able to make it.
But Jiang Wei only needs fifty phones, and the cost of making them is not enough.
I'll go to the telecom company tomorrow and get this done.
Once Jiangwei has magnetic card phones, pagers will flourish and play a role, and the market will open up.
