Current battery technology, not commensure with sophisticated mobile phone with GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are drained of energy. As a result charger machine business makes Paul King millionaire. Paul King, was heading for the Pittsburgh airport in 2006 when suddenly his cell phone because the battery runs dead. Carnegie Mellon students were also realized, the key to his roomate's house was also carried away. If he does not call the friend's room will be locked out all weekend. But without access to a cell phone, he did not know her friend's phone numbers. King finally driving back home and leave the key under the doormat. He finally missed a flight to Miami. We journey, King passed a number of ATMs and a convenient store. Then the idea came up. When people can make money anywhere, but why can't charge the phone anywhere ? Two years later, King decided to create an automated machine or automatic charger charging machine (ACM). But he realized thet someone had preceded it. A copmpany called TCN China has developed a public machine recharge cell phones, and thousands of units have been sold in the country. King did not give up.
Instead, he approached the company and asked to become the exclusive distributor in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Finally King business based New York, Hercules Network gets U.S $1.5 million from investors, including from Miami real estate developer Michael Gold and a group led by businessman David Walke. TCN agreed to add a screen on the machine and display advertising messages. While users bear the cost of U.S $2 to U.S $5 to fill the phone. "No one said that it was a bad idea," say King (25). He faced a clear oppurtunity. Existing mobile phone is much larger energy consumed by the processor and advanced features including GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Conversely battery power is not comparable with the increase of its features. " The technology behind the battery may be 10 years of mobile phone technology, and smartphone huge sucking power,"said Will Stofega, an analyst with IDC,s mobile phone in Research in Boston. But King is nt the only one who tried to capitalize on the issue. Giant handset maker Samsung has installed free charging stations at various locations including the airport and campus. " We hope to build an emotional connection with consumer," Tim Titus, director of Samsung Mobile in Dallas. "We kept starting at the places to put the phone re-charger." So far, Hercules Network managed to get into places that have not been touched by Samsung. The company has installed the ACM at casinos in Las Vegas, amusement parks, bars and clubs. Next, the company is targeting a shopping center.
Companies that have only nine employess are able to increase revenues tripled in 2009, and King hopes his business can reach the U.S $ 2 million in sales this year. King succeeded attracting advertisers, including AT&T, Target, Google, Bank of America, GM and Cadillac. While Men's Wearhouse also considering buying a new generation of chargers Hercules, and hopes of people who were washing the eyes so shopping.
