Chapter 844: Kirin Electronics' First Step
The two films written by Yin Jun, after the performance of the first weekend, basically the box office ability has been reflected.
"The Story of Hu Yue" won a box office of 3.2 million in four days over the weekend, which is already good among the movies released this year, and everyone's estimate for it is about 13 million local box office.
No way.
Literary films should have a four-week screening period, which is not better than commercial blockbusters, and if it is better, it can mention a six-week screening time.
It's just that the negotiation of "The Story of Hu Yue" in other cities is said to be very good, especially in Baodao, the hometown of literary films, Xu Anhua has continuously won awards in Baodao with "Crazy Robbery" and "Autumn Fairy Tale", and Baodao people like her works very much, and it is said that a buyout price of 3 million Hong Kong dollars has been offered.
The second part, Changhe's "Jinyiwei", was unexpectedly good at the box office, with a score of 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars in the first three days of the first weekend, setting a new high since Zhang Ce started filming.
Coupled with the explosive reputation and amazing martial arts scenes, industry insiders are expected to get at least more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars, maybe they can break through 20 million and become another prominent upstart.
Shaw Brothers has a great profit expectation in this, and they have now actively contacted other theaters, including Shaw Brothers' Nanyang Cinema Line, including several cooperative theater chains, and are ready to make "Jinyiwei" popular throughout Asia in a large-scale sales way.
According to the rules of Yin Jun's movies in the past, the results of "Jin Yiwei" will definitely not be bad.
Zhang Ce's film company became an instant hit, and he held a celebration party on Monday night that he couldn't bear to, invited many stars in the entertainment industry to come, and even invited Yin Jun.
But Yin Jun will definitely not pass, one drunkenness is enough for him to wake up, and it is even more offensive to go without drinking, so it is better not to go.
Sister Hong's pagers and phone calls are still not very accessible.
Yin Jun has now figured out a little bit of her thoughts, and it is up to her.
Hui Yinghong is a woman who advocates self and has a strong desire to control x from her bones, Yin Jun doesn't want to force her, she can only do whatever she wants.
On Tuesday morning, Jian Wenle rushed to find Yin Jun.
From his happy expression, it can be seen that the Chinese pager has fallen.
So, before he could speak, Yin Jun asked, "What's the matter?"
Jian Wenle smiled, "Jun Shao, you already know?"
"It's not that I know, it's that you've never been to me, and now you're running and smiling, is it still a bad thing?" Yin Jun said with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, we did a good job of the Chinese pager system. Jian Wenle excitedly took out a pager from the box in his hand, "Jun Shao, take a look!"
The pagers on the market today are all pagers bought by the British Telegraph Office from Vodafone in the United Kingdom.
Of course, Vodafone is not the only one on the market that is making pagers.
Since 1947, when Bell Labs invented the pager, many communication companies in the world have been making pagers.
The technical content of this thing is not high, and it has long passed the patent protection period, and it can be made by foreign second-rate manufacturers.
For now, Vodafone, Alcatel, Ericsson, Motorola, Sanyo, Panasonic and many other companies are doing it.
However, just like the mobile phone manufacturers' needs for communication networks, pagers are also very dependent on the cell towers.
Without a cell tower to send and receive signals, a pager is a waste.
Therefore, the Daito Telegraph Office has raised the price of pagers to a very expensive point without fear, and just like that, countless users have flocked to it.
By the end of March, they had announced that they had 50,000 users.
Considering that they only went on sale at the end of December, and that there are less than 6 million people in Xiangjiang, this number is already very staggering.
With the selling price of pagers alone, they have about 180 million in sales.
Not to mention the paging usage fee of 100 per person per month, that's 5 million!
All Xiangjiang companies, one is counted as one, how many companies can earn 5 million a month?
If they increase the number of pager users to 500,000, then their monthly income is 50 million, which is a money grab!
Of course, you can't just see thieves eating meat, and you can't see thieves being beaten.
Dadong Telegraph Office spent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to install 18 base stations in Xiangjiang, and then there were various maintenance costs, which were all expenses.
But this trick is the most powerful, because they have already mastered the source.
Later, dozens of large and small paging companies in Xiangjiang used the base station signal of the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, which merged with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, which means that no matter how the companies below compete, it must be this monopoly company that makes a profit in the end.
Now, the Xiangjiang Telephone Company has not intervened, and of course it will be acquired by the Dadong Telegraph Office in a few years, so it is not to blame that the Dadong Telegraph Company eats alone by itself.
Capital is like this, it can be arbitrary, and it doesn't know what sharing is.
There is really no way, so they will slowly release this permission and let other paging companies rent their cell tower frequency bands for paging business.
At this time period, only they are doing pagers, and the Daito Telegraph Office is definitely not willing to share benefits with others.
If you want to develop a Chinese pager, you have to think of a way.
Yin Jun pondered as he turned on the power of the Chinese pager.
The Chinese pager in front of me is the one that Vodafone bought from the market.
It's a bit boxy, not ugly, but definitely not good-looking.
The most beautiful pager Yin Jun has ever seen is Motorola's "Fire Phoenix", and its appearance is very good-looking in 2020.
The rounded industrial design, matte black luster, and easy-to-use and convenient button design made Yin Jun marvel at the minds of Motorola designers when he saw it on the Internet.
You say that if they still maintain such an industrial aesthetic design in the mobile phone industry in the future, can they still be pressed to the ground by Nokia and rubbed repeatedly?
Come back to the present.
At present, the appearance of the pager is less important, more important is its function.
This generation of pagers, the screen is still diode, only one finger is so wide, open to see, "Kirin Electronics welcome you to use Chinese pager" words, just slide from left to right.
"We did careful base stations in the lab, and basically all the Chinese fonts were transmitted without any problem. "Jian Wenle said," The limit test has also been done, and the function is compared to the original, and there is no instability. However, the power consumption is faster, about 30% more points than the number. The numerical one usually lasts for a week, but it can be used for up to 3 days, which makes it more inconvenient. ”
"It doesn't matter. Yin Jun looked at the simple button functions inside, and said casually, "Xiangjiang is a place full of small retail stores, it is very easy to buy batteries, and one battery does not take up much space, there are two or three in advance, it is not in the way." ”
The people of Xiangjiang are one of the people Yin Jun has seen who can overcome difficulties very well.
Plus here is densely populated and the urban area is small, where is there no place to replenish batteries?
Now that is, the technology has not developed, and after several updates, the battery of the Chinese pager can also be used for about ten days.
After experimenting with the function for a while, Yin Jun put down the pager, looked up and asked Jian Wenle, "Are you ready to do it now?"
"Me?" Jian Wenle said in surprise, "Aren't I just in charge of development?"
"Sometimes it's better to be versatile. Yin Jun smiled, "Just tell me what you think." ”
Jian Wen Leke is not only a computer expert, he later invented the Chinese pager system, and finally established a company, which is doing a good job.
Yin Jun wants to train him to be more capable, so naturally he wants to inspire him more.
Hearing this, Jian Wenle hesitated for a while before saying: "If it were me, I would go to the nearby Japan, find a place where I can make pagers, customize a batch of pagers by myself, and then do a mass production quality test." If it is qualified, then take it back and see if we can rent the base station network of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau and make a Chinese pager. ”
"Why did the Dadong Telegraph Bureau let you occupy their network and share their profits? Isn't it good that they do it themselves?" Yin Jun asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
Jian Wenle really didn't think of this, and he was a little stunned.
Yin Jun smiled, "After applying for a patent all over the world, let's do what you say! But after the quality is qualified, prepare 10,000 units first, take them to Singapore, and ask Singtel if they want it." ”
"Singtel?" Jian Wenle said strangely, "Do they have a paging business?"
"No!" Yin Jun said very simply, "That's why I want you to sell it! Isn't Xiangjiang a very successful example? They like high technology so much, naturally they won't lag behind, if you don't go, maybe people will start doing this business this year." ”
"That'...... I'll give it a try. ”
Jian Wenle saw Yin Jun's resolute attitude, so he could only agree hard.
"After the order from Singapore is finalized, you go to Treasure Island and ask them if they have any plans. Yin Jun said, "You might as well tell them that patent protection is 15-20 years, and if you want to make money earlier, it's better to cooperate with us." ”
"Are we a joint venture with them, or are we just selling machines?" asked Jian Wenle.
"A joint venture? Yin Jun said with a smile, "Just like that, it depends on Singapore to open a way out, and you still want to get a piece of the pie in the service stage." Well, you remember, after the treasure island, we will talk about Xiangjiang, and the Dadong Telegraph Bureau will not let go of this opportunity to further expand the market, and after knowing that we will not let them suppress it, they should also give in. ”
"I'm going to talk about it all?" Jian Wenle swallowed.
"Do you want me to go?" Yin Jun asked rhetorically.
"Good...... Okay, I got it!" Jian Wenle blushed and quickly shut up.
Everything needs the boss to come out, what do you want you to do?
"Once you've done the pager, you're working on cellular technology. Yin Jun said, "Almost before the first half of the year, there will be technologies that will be bought one after another." I'm allowing you to expand as much as you can, including recruiting talent and buying equipment. Cellular mobile phones are definitely the way to go, and I'm waiting for you to make this sooner rather than later!"
"Yes, we will work hard!" Jian Wenle was excited when he heard this.
This kind of difficult thing is the favorite of technicians!
Yin Jun had shown him a lot of information about the mobile phone invented by Motorola before.
He knew that Yin Jun wanted to work together from hardware and software.
If you can come up with a qualified commercial cellular mobile phone before Motorola, it will definitely be the pride of Xiangjiang Electronics professionals!!
