The current generations of Motorola mobile phones have evolved greatly, that is, the initial weight was close to one kilogram, and with the version update, it was reduced to about 520 grams. It still has analog signal calls, poor signal, heavy weight, and old and unsightly body style.

The sudden rise of Nokia last year made many people anxious...

After a while, Wu Jing collected his Nokia phone and walked back, with a complex expression on his face, "Master Xing is coming to Beijing too. He said he plans to promote and do road shows for the (Ji Gong) movie, and he asked me to have dinner with him."

Han Shanping was overjoyed, "What a good thing, let's pick him up at the airport directly? Let's have dinner together then. We will definitely help with the road show if we can."

Wu Jing nodded, "Alright."

He still wanted to complain, but it seemed that he couldn't avoid it after drinking.

………………

About the same time.

In the office on the top floor of Songshan Building, the president of Motorola Asia Pacific was holding more than 20 prototypes with an anxious look on his face and said, "Sheng Zhao, our Motorola 8900 is the latest model. It not only weighs more than 200 grams, but can also be opened and closed for protection.

Numeric keys.”

"Although it does not have the function of sending and receiving text messages, it is already a GSM mobile phone, and the call signal problem has definitely been effectively solved."

"As long as you are willing to use it and help us promote it in film and television works, we can invest a lot of money in your production!"

Zhao Donghuai burst out laughing, Motorola 8900? Was this released two years in advance? Of course, this also had the effect of inciting the butterfly effect, because (Super Body) was filmed in 1984, and there was an interconnected interaction with Motorola.

Motorola has been cultivating the Hong Kong Haowan market for many years in advance, and even proactively developed a Han display BB machine in advance. They attach great importance to the Asian market.

Originally, after Nokia was launched in 1992, it could send and receive text messages, but it only included English text messages, and there was no Chinese version. The president of Nokia also saw Motorola's brilliant achievements in the Asian market.

The 1992 version of Nokia 1011 in this dimension directly accommodates Chinese character text messaging services.

Lighter weight, excellent signal, including bb machine business... Less than a year after its launch, Motorola's market collapsed in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

The collapse of the market represents massive profits and wealth!

Even in some of the latest film and television works, Nokia mobile phones have begun to appear frequently, showing off a wave of text messaging functions. How do you think of typing Chinese characters on the mobile phone keyboard? Computer Pinyin typing, which appeared one or two eras in advance, is a great reminder for them!

It's strange that Motorola isn't in a hurry.

As for the development path of Motorola 8900? In fact, it has always existed. It started in the late 1980s. In 1987, Motorola planned to launch the Iridium Project. It planned to spend more than ten years and invest 5 billion US dollars to launch 66 satellites to form a global satellite.

Satellite mobile communication technology...

Or Motorola’s analog communications technology.

From 1987 to 1992, Motorola fully supported that thing, which seriously slowed down the development progress of the 8900 decapper.

All money, manpower and material resources went to the Iridium Project.

The original trajectory of the entire Iridium Project was from 1987 to 1998, when it began formal operation. After 16 months of operation, it was overwhelmed and ended. 66 satellites burned up in the atmosphere...

The Asian market is one of the most important gold mines for Motorola at this stage. The Hong Kong film industry has exploded so powerfully that it has also driven the explosive sales of various products.

Is the Asian film industry and market being stolen by Nokia? This is a serious matter that Motorola cannot tolerate.

Therefore, the Iridium project that has been launched for many years, with a little investment and scientific research personnel, was completed two years ahead of schedule with the help of the Motorola decapper 8900.

Zhao Donghuai is now the largest boss of Hong Kong Island Telecom. He owns the telephone and Internet businesses, and his employees arrange operations such as opening new mobile phone numbers.

After he asked his secretary to call the telecommunications group and arrange the number and Internet service, he tried to use the new decapping machine to make a call, "..."

After ten minutes of casual walking and chatting, the signal was always stable and clear. Then he said to the president of Motorola Asia Pacific, "Yes, mobile phones are indeed much lighter and more convenient. You should develop a version that can send and receive text messages as soon as possible."

"At least until Nokia also launches a flip phone, they will be completely unable to resist it."

This is witnessing history, from a large brick of nearly one kilogram, reduced to 520 grams, to Nokia's sneak attack of 470 grams, and now more than 200 grams... It can be opened and closed to block the keyboard.

The first-generation flip-top machine could not send and receive text messages, but the display would also show who the caller was, whether it was an unfamiliar number or a name stored in the address book.

Before the smartphone era began, the era of competition among brands such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson was still fierce!

The CEO of Motorola Asia Pacific let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "We will develop it as soon as possible, but Mr. Zhao, if we really wait for the SMS function to be added, our bb machine OEM business will also be a huge loss."

By relying on OEM Han display BB machines, Pacific also stably provides tens of thousands of jobs and creates massive wealth.

Zhao Donghuai rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Those who deserve to be eliminated will always be eliminated by the times. You can't imitate those bastards from Eli Lilly and manipulate insulin to make a fortune, right?"

"Also, price is also a big issue. At least within three to four years, five or six years, there will still be many markets for bb machines in the mainland."

For example, according to the previous positioning of Mobile Phone, buying a mobile phone to join the network would cost close to HKD 30,000 per set, and the new 8900?? estimated to be more expensive. He remembered that the original price was HKD 40,000 per mobile phone, and demand exceeded supply.

What about the bb machine? It costs about 3,000 yuan each.

Even if Mainland Jingshang Yang enters the era of average monthly salary of three to four hundred yuan, four to five hundred yuan, a Motorola decapper that costs hundreds of times the monthly salary? Only rich people can afford it.

After chatting with the other party for a few more words, Wang Zuxian, who was acting as his secretary, came over with surprise as he watched him go. He was sifting through more than 20 prototypes and asked, "Such a small and beautiful mobile phone?"

The more than 20 types of machines sent by the other party were obviously not just for Zhao Donghuai, but also for his huge girlfriend group. Each weighing more than 200 grams can not only open and close the lid, but also come in different colors such as black, white, pink and so on.

From the earliest weight of nearly two kilograms to the current weight of more than four kilograms, it is indeed an epoch-making breakthrough!

But that’s right, Motorola was the first commercial product launched in North America, and it’s been ten years now!

In the past ten years, the mainland's supercomputers have gone from 100 million calculations per second to 200 billion times. When Zhao Donghuai was doing simulations for 20 years, he produced five supercomputers that calculated 200 billion times per second so many times. , receiving it twice at will is equivalent to updating the special effects base.

………………

Two days later, 100 Years Pictures.

Not long after Liu Dehua walked into the building, he heard his mobile phone ringing. He was also using the same Nokia 1011. It’s not that Nokia is much lighter than the previous Motorola big brother. The key is that the battery life is long and the signal is clear, so you don’t have to be fucked all over the street. More comfortable.

Price, etc., are not an issue at all.

When he saw that the number was Fatty Wang, Ah Hua answered the call and said with a smile, "Fatty Wang, are you looking for me if you have something good to do?"

A roar of laughter sounded from the other side of the phone, "Brother Hua, please look back."

Liu Dehua turned around in confusion and saw Fatty Wang walking more than 20 meters behind him. Ah Hua was a little dumbfounded, "Diao Mao, just shout and I will... Huh??"

When Hua Zai stopped talking and walked towards Fei Jing, he hung up the phone in front of him and stared at the Motorola hood opener in Wang Jing's hand...

Fei Jing closed the cover with excitement, showing off the white body, "How cool, isn't it? The telecommunications group officially made arrangements for these mobile phones to connect to the network yesterday and started queuing up for sale. I got one."

“Much easier to use than Nokia and the original Big Brother.”

Liu Dehua stared at the Motorola 8900 for a few dozen seconds, holding onto his Nokia to dial. Fei Jing stared at the phone ringing and incoming call messages and said in astonishment, "What's wrong with you?"

Hua Zai then stopped dialing and sighed with emotion, "In 1984, Zhao Sheng made a wooden model of the lid-opening machine for "John Wick", just like the one you have in front of you... At that time, I doubted whether I would be able to see it again in this life. By the time the mobile phone was born.”

“Back then, Hong Kong only had car phones in Haowan!”

"In ten years, has technology advanced to this level? The laptops at that time were also made as models, and they still had light tubes inside the four borders. When you use a mouse to look at photos, each photo looks like a slideshow. ah……"

Fei Jing was also dumbfounded, "You're right, technology changes life. By the way, I thought of an idea for a gambling movie. Let's try it together? Your previous works were a bit popular, and I made (Hong Kong Island Wonders) When I was working on "The Case of a Strong Woman", I found a person named Zhang Jiahui, who occasionally performed nonsensical jokes well."

"Although he is just a walk-on, let's test the waters by joining a new gambling film and see if he can seize the opportunity."

Liu Dehua smiled bitterly, "It's true that he's quite aggressive. Gambling on movies? You can try cooperating."

In fact, Ah Hua has been working in the film industry for two consecutive years since the 1991 summer season (big event)... Fortunately, in 1991 and 1992, he was busy for about half a year each year in the production of (The Voice of Asia) .

In the early stage, he hosted variety shows, and in the middle and later stages, he started to tour with his disciple group.

(Big event) The box office in Asia exceeded 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, but after that, films such as (92 The Condor: The Sword of Madness), (The Legend of God of War), (Dances with Dragons) (Eternal Life), etc.

The better ones in Hong Kong Island barely broke 20 million, while the worse ones were all around 10 million Hong Kong dollars in box office.

I beat six or seven games in a row.

If it weren't for his status as one of the four kings of music, Ah Hua would have been anxious.

What's even better is that even if the film industry is struggling for two consecutive years, it will not affect Andy Lau's income. His 8% stake in 100 Years Pictures is a big deal.

Ah Hua thought for a moment and then asked, "What's the name of the new movie?"

Wang Jing said with a smile, "Today is September 5th. If it can be filmed this year, let's call it "The Gambler 1993", and if it is released next year, how about calling it "The Gambler 1994"? Let's have a brand new version of "The Gambler," and it's ready.

There’s also a sequel.”

Liu Dehua rolled his eyes, "You are too casual..."

It was originally called The Gambler 1999, with a box office of more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars, but it was already fifth in the box office rankings of Hong Kong films in 1998. In the early and mid-1990s, it would have had to gross at least 35 million to secure a place in the top five.

.

The sequel of this series, Gambit vs. Las Vegas, also took in a box office of more than 17.7 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, ranking fifth in the box office rankings in 1999.

Wang Jing smiled brightly, "It's okay to do whatever you want. As long as the film sells well, anything will do. I'll ask the staff to contact that Ah Hui later. I heard that Ah Hui is on the street with a rich woman. If you don't work hard for me, work hard."

, he probably couldn’t stand up straight in front of his girlfriend.”

"I gave him the chance, let's see if he can do it!"

………………

Shek Kip Mei Garden Phase 3.

Luo Dahua was trying to persuade Zhang Jiahui with a weird expression, "Ah Hui, it's a good thing that your girlfriend is rich. She doesn't dislike you and is willing to support you. You can't get over it and really want to break up, right?"

Xiao Ma was a little dumbfounded, "Yes, Brother Hui, Sister He doesn't despise you, but you can't think about it. It's outrageous enough. If it were anyone else, for example, if I encounter such a good thing, I'm afraid I won't be happy to death, but you are better

…”

"Things like self-esteem are sometimes very important, but there is absolutely no need to give up love for temporary self-esteem. You two are a pair, how envious are you two?"
