Chapter 549: Chapter 456 Big Cake_1
This ten thousand phones is all the current production within the territory.
Not one more.
Because after this batch of mobile phones was manufactured and assembled, the production lines for the various parts were redesigned and remodeled based on the problems encountered during the entire production process. After all, those scientists are not omnipotent, capable of designing perfectly suitable industrial production right away.
Theory combined with practice.
This is a path that the command room cannot circumvent.
While now in the beginning, with no orders and some time to adjust, it is essential to maximize the quantity and quality of mobile phones under existing technical conditions to avoid major changes later on.
Only after scientists improve the new equipment, that will replace some parts in five days, once the debugging is qualified, mass production will start. Although the current production is 2G mobile phones, the configuration of the phones is capable enough to support 3G internet speed, enough for the short term.
In the meantime.
In the research area, research and development work on 4G smartphones are underway intensively. Actually, making a smartphone is not so difficult. Technology and craftsmanship have broken through very quickly, and there is practically no difficulty with the efforts of a team of scientists.
The real difficulty is the ’infrastructure’ of a complete communication network. Without more substantial exchange capacity of switches, routers, servers, optical fibers, base stations, antennas, access equipment, transmission equipment, demodulators, communication standards, solutions, and so on, even the best phone is useless.
Unless it’s like the mobile phone in his hand that has a quantum communication module installed, it doesn’t need to go through the physical data channels of those operators and can provide ultra-high-speed wireless data download services through the communication server.
Like if you have a Rolls-Royce, but if there are nothing but mountains around, and there are no roads, you can just turn on the engine and listen. Slowly waiting for the day when the roads are built outside.
Waiting for the arrival of the 4G era.
As for Steve Jobs’ Apple, just let it eat our dust. Tang Qing felt a bit unsettled when he thought of Apple Inc.’s cash reserves in the later world, which amounted to more than 240 billion dollars.
Oh, mommy.
That’s more than 1.6 trillion RMB.
He must take a big bite of this cake, wanting to taste the meat flavor.
He is pondering whether to let the territory handle this issue or to get involved himself. Nevertheless, there is one condition: the technology absolutely must not be leaked out from him in the early stages, that would be too conspicuous.
First, he plans to allow the territory’s enterprises to establish a cooperative research and development relationship with manufacturers like Huawei, forming a joint company to speed up the research and development of various 4G network equipment, providing technical support and complete solutions.
Secondly, push the country to approve the construction of the 4G network as soon as possible and sell these devices to the entire world, speeding up other countries’ 4G network construction.
The third step involves him personally. By buying parts or technologies and production lines from the territory, he will manufacture smartphones, tablets, and peripherals himself, letting the territory withstand all the pressure.
Firstly, this will make him money.
Secondly, his life will be more comfortable without being sued every day. In the next world, manufacturers like Huawei wanted to enter the U.S. market, but experienced all kinds of investigations and blockades, as they were said to potentially jeopardize the security of U.S. communications. All kinds of Huawei’s pledges were useless, causing their mobile phones to be blocked.
This time around.
Tang Qing wants to see if they are still so arrogant. If my stuff is not let in, I will let you lose the global market for communication equipment. As for price wars, bring them on. You should sell your stuff in your place and see who can last until the end.
Yes.
That’s it then.
Due to the shutdown of various mobile parts factories.
These days, only busy robots can be found in those factories, there is not a single human worker. However, word has spread throughout the territory that the industrial town can produce mobile phones, which has caused a huge stir.
Mobile phones.
Such a high-end thing.
Is it really manufactured here in this remote corner?
But the workers made it very clear, it is definitely a mobile phone, especially those responsible for boot testing and feature testing, they boasted so much about the technology in the territory that it seemed to lag behind UK and U.S.
There were also quite a few misunderstandings.
...
Noon.
Seeing that the appointed time was approaching.
Wangsa quickly packed up in preparation to trade this batch of mobile phones.
Soon.
Wangsa’s convoy set off, in fact, the convoy consisted of only two vehicles, his car and a military truck. Wangsa now also has the right to drive in, but they need to be checked and are not allowed to carry weapons. Wangsa naturally has no dissatisfaction with this, as it would have been a gamble to go there without weapons in the past due to the security situation.
But now all the local weapons have been confiscated, only regular soldiers have weapons, their military discipline is strict, so he doesn’t have to be afraid.
Ten thousand mobile phones.
Today, I could make 300 thousand dollars just by taking these back.
Is there a faster way to make money in this world?
The answer is: Yes.
Next time, bring back 100 thousand phones, which would be three million dollars. Thinking about this, Wangsa, sitting in the co-driver’s seat, wanted to sing a song. Most of this money would be handed over to his family, but he would also be left with a substantial amount. Honestly, he had no idea how to spend all this money now.
Soon enough.
Following the lead of the vehicles ahead, Wangsa drove directly to a massive glass building in the northwest of Xin’an Town. It was evidently a showroom, though it had not yet opened.
The glass was coated, and the intense sunbeams shining through it had become much more mellow.
This will serve as an external display hall for the territory’s products in the future.
"Major Wangsa, this way please." A soldier in uniform stepped forward to guide him.
Wangsa nodded and immediately followed.
As he walked into the hall and saw the empty space, he glanced around and spotted Leader Ling not far from the entrance. He quickly hurried towards him.
"Leader Ling, hello." Wangsa approached and shook hands with Ling. Even though Ling had not come out to meet him, he dared not show any dissatisfaction. Now that Ling was in his prime, strong and wealthy, although he was seeking help to use this trade port, he dared not fall out with him.
Because.
Their cooperation doesn’t just represent them, but also his family, and the numerous forces in Thailand who had benefited from the territory recently. They had even heard that people from Myanmar had been sent to lobby for some convenience from the territory. Therefore, he alone could not decide whether or not to cooperate with Ling.
Wangsa glanced around and saw that the table behind Ling was cluttered with small boxes and many larger ones, all unlabeled, just cartons. Obviously, they should contain phones.
"Major Wangsa, here are 10,000 phones. You can have them checked." Ling stepped aside, pointing to the pile of phones.
"Okay, let me see."
Wangsa rubbed his hands and opened a few, turned them on, and tested them. Everything seemed just fine. Under Ling’s guidance, Wangsa randomly chose a box, sampled a few, and they were perfect.
Seeing these high-quality phones, Wangsa was overjoyed. His purchase price here was seventy dollars per unit, and he could make thirty dollars with each one. It was a huge profit.
Afterward, Wangsa carefully replaced them all in the boxes. He didn’t check further. Their cooperation was long-term, and Ling wouldn’t bother to cheat him. It wouldn’t benefit Ling in any way.
"Good, the quality and workmanship are excellent," Wangsa turned to Ling and was pleased to say.
Ling nodded, saying: "Major Wangsa, if there is no problem with the goods, you can take them back now, package and sell them. As for the money, we can record it in the account first. After all, we still owe you a lot of payment for goods. We can offset it at the end of the month."
The previous agreement was to settle the accounts with Wangsa on a monthly basis. Naturally, no cash had to be paid for these phones.
"Okay, Leader Ling, may I ask if these are all produced by yourselves?" Wangsa asked curiously. Ling had previously mentioned that he would "import" many parts, but Wangsa had found that Ling had only brought in a lot of raw materials from him during this period, which was somewhat puzzling.
"We just assemble, and we also manufacture some parts here," Ling replied vaguely without clarifying.
"Can I take a look at your assembly factory?" Wangsa no longer asked but proposed to take a look at the assembly factory. Since he was here, he should bring some valuable intelligence back. Gathering various information from here had become his daily task.
He had no choice. Apart from him, the people sent by Thailand had basically been ’sent’ back. It was such a loss of face.
"Sure, this way please," Ling agreed.
Had it been any other core component factory, such as CPU, motherboard, camera factories, Ling would have definitely refused to take Wangsa. However, the assembly factory and some factories for casings, phone buttons, and the like, were not as strict. These places were destined to be showcased in the future.
Upon arriving at a corner of Industrial Town.
Entering the cellphone assembly factory.
Looking at the massive factory building and the ’advanced’ equipment inside, Wangsa’s jaw dropped, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Where on earth did all this come from?
He could assure you that it definitely did not come from Thailand. But could it be possible in other directions?
The scene before his eyes told him... it was possible.
Otherwise, how could all this be explained?
Things didn’t just appear out of thin air. He was also quite certain that there must be a powerful force supporting Ling; otherwise, everything he saw before him would be unexplainable. Even Myanmar probably couldn’t provide these things.
As a neighbor.
No disrespect meant to Myanmar.
But the fact is, Myanmar is much less developed than Thailand. Speaking of GDP, Thailand leaves Myanmar far behind, at least ten times more, which is no exaggeration. They seem to have only a few assembly lines like this in Thailand, and probably not even one in Myanmar.
Things.
Are getting more and more complicated.
