Chapter 461 Phone Companies & Brands
Landon looked at the report in his hands and smiled.
Once the land phones hit the market, people would definitely call the phone company workers to install their landlines for them.
One shouldn't forget that the military base, schools, police company, malls, all the industries, and other workplaces.... will also have to get these landlines.
So in short, within these next few weeks, Landon knew that the phone companies would be extremely busy.
The reason why Landon said phone companies..... was because he had decided to make 2 of them.
And these phone companies would be exactly like T-Mobile, Bell or Koodo back on earth.
They were just in charge of wiring cables and providing different phone brands like Samsung and Apple phones to the customers.
From customer services on the phones, to getting orders done, ensuring people paid their phone bills and so on.... these 2 phone companies would do it all.
The reason why Landon said 2 Phone companies, was because competition was very healthy for growth.
These companies would come up with their phone plans and pricing..... so as to compete and get more customers under them.
With that said, Landon and the board of directors had decided to name to phone companies 'Rocky' and 'Horizon'
So the Baymardians would be under either one of them, so as to get any present or future phones in Baymard.
.
As for what phone brands will be provided... Landon had also decided to create 2 brands as well.
Of course each brand had its own manufacturing site, where they had to come up with new innovating phone ideas so as to get the customers hooked.
Just like how Apple, Nokia, and other phone brands come up with new ideas each year, these brands would also have to do the same as well.
But to give them a helping hand, Landon had made sure that each brand had one thing that the other didn't.
In short, each brand had it's own pros and cons... so as to appeal to a variety of customers.
Some had better phone plans, while others had phones that could allow up to 4 people to talk on the same call.
Others had better privacy settings, while others focused more on parental settings as well.
In short, each phone brand
Either way, Landon felt that competition would inspire new ideas and make these phone brands adapt to changes in the future.... as well as better understand the concept of giving customers each what they want.
As for the names chosen for these brands.... they were called 'Eagle' and 'LX'.
So rather than people saying: 'I just got a new Samsung phone'..... instead, they would say: 'I just got a new Eagle phone' or 'LX Phone'.
Landon looked through the rest of the projects with a satisfied grin on his face.
Things were progressing as planned, now it was time to talk about the main reason why he was here.
.
"Tim, since everything is set and ready to go..... which phone company provider and phone brand will you be using?"
"Your majesty... I want to use Rocky as my phone service provider.
They have good phone plans for the long run.
But my wife wants to use Horizon instead.
Your majesty.... the main issue revolves around our phone brand choices.
I want the LX-1.5, but my wife wants the 'Eagle 4S'.
Rocky offers a great deal for the phone brand that I want.... and Horizon offers a great phone deal for what my wife wants.
My wife is adamant about having that Eagle 1S phone no matter what.
Ah!
Your majesty... why are women so stubborn?"
"Ha hah hahaha...
Okay... Okay.... why do you like the LX-1.5.
Your majesty... what's not to like?
It looks cooler, has a bigger dial pad, and has more voicemail options compared to the LX-1.0, 1.1 and even the 1.4 version.
But your majesty.... my wife likes the Eagle 4S, simply because it allows 4 people to talk on the phone at once.
Your majesty, what use is that at home?
It's not like she's at the office. So why does she need to talk to so many people at once?
And to make it worse your majesty... I feel like she wants the phone just because it looks like a cute puppy." To said helplessly.
'Bahahahaha!'
Landon laughed while thinking of how women in movies usually spoke on their beds to each other while twirling their telephone cords.
"Your majesty this isn't funny!
How can my entire house be filled with pink or green puppy phones?
What about my manly black ones?"
Time felt like crying when he thought about how his 36-year-old wife refused to give him 'some' at night if he didn't agree to her request.
She wore her sexy nightwear and made him sleepless the entire night.
Indeed.... women were evil!
Landon laughed continuously when he saw Tim.
Well, he knew for a fact that women were indeed powerful beings.
You cant live with them, and you can't live without them.
With the advertisements in the newspapers, and the cool pictures and catalogue portraits in the company booklets..... Landon was already sure that many women had quickly tormented their husbands to have their way.
.
"Okay.... okay... I'll stop laughing.
But you 2 should just reach a compromise."
"Sigh.... your majesty, my wife is a strong woman.
Even getting her to reach a compromise.ise would need the help of our ancestors.
She's really something else."
"Trust me Tim.... they all are."
"Your majesty.... what about you?
Which company will the palace use?"
"We will use both!
Some buildings within the palaces estate will be wired with Rocky's services while others will use Horizon.
Landon felt like it should so..... because in a way, he was like a celebrity.
If he picked one over the other, many people would favour one company just because he picked it.
So to be fair, he decided to use both.
The military will use Horizon, the police academy would use Rocky, the Marines will use Horizon, and so on.
Landon would make sure that all military forces under his command will equally distribute themselves between both companies.
As for the schools, industries and the rest.... they could make their own decisions themselves.
After all, these phone companies also had commercial plans for large scale companies as well.
.
After looking through the projects, Landon placed the project files on Tim's table and got up.
"Alright!
with that being said, I have a new project for you.
Do you think that you can handle it right now?"
"Your majesty... I'm always up to the task."
"Good!... let's go."
