On July 21st, the smartphone official announced that the smartphone would be released three days later, which attracted all the attention of the world. A piece of hot news also broke out in the Internet industry.
Facebook founder Zack tore up the acquisition documents submitted by Yahu in front of everyone at the board meeting.
The reason why he tore up the document was not because Yang Dongxu decided to merge Facebook and Twitter into one Internet company. He had the absolute confidence to be the best and full of hope for his future.
It was because Yahu had originally agreed to pay 500 million U.S. dollars to acquire his shares, and it was time to sign the contract.
Yahu suddenly changed his mind and was only willing to give him 380 million US dollars. This made Zack feel humiliated, so he tore up the signing document submitted by Yahu in public.
However, as soon as this news appeared, it was suppressed by the explosive news that smartphones were about to be released. Except for some people in the industry, not many people knew about it.
Compared with the previous generation of smartphones that are now popular abroad, domestic mobile phone operators have common sense and bought thousands of units to sell and test the waters.
In this generation, smartphones can be said to be the most popular at the moment, and are distributed all over the country at the same time. And in addition to domestic, South Korea also distributes goods directly.
However, on the first day of opening, the business of the mobile phone store was not very good. After all, compared to traditional mobile phones, many people still feel good holding the latest Nokia mobile phones.
Smartphones are so disruptive, but the most indispensable thing in the world is people who have some spare money and are willing to give it a try.
In particular, the Honor generation mobile phone costs 6,800 per unit in China, and the price in South Korea is as high as 8,800. What the rich like to do most is to differentiate themselves from the masses.
So they started to try it first. After all, at this price, it is indeed a luxury for ordinary people to buy a mobile phone for several months of work.
Once you buy a smartphone, you will naturally become the most handsome guy in the circle. The apple-slicing game, which has been eliminated since the advent of smartphones, instantly fascinated buyers.
Especially when a group of friends gathered around to watch themselves cutting fruit and marveled at the various amazing functions of the smartphone, the user's vanity was greatly satisfied.
At the same time, compared to traditional mobile phones, smartphones are really top-notch in terms of functionality and performance. You can basically master how to use it after using it for a while.
Coupled with the YY installed on it, you can directly voice chat and video with friends, and the photo function has the quality of a camera.
Yesterday, I saw a smartphone store with many products but few for sale, which directly triggered the whole audience. Customers who were partying to buy mobile phones appeared in front of the door even before dawn in the middle of the night.
Because when I bought it yesterday, the shopping guide said that this mobile phone store currently only has more than 100 smartphones. This phone needs to be purchased due to insufficient supply. What if I can’t buy it for the party earlier?
In just one morning, all the smartphones in stock at major mobile phone stores were sold out, and they also received deposit pre-orders ranging from dozens to hundreds of orders.
And in the early afternoon, various posts began to appear on the Internet. Some people increased the price by 1,000 yuan to buy an Honor generation smartphone. If the phone is not used after just getting it, an additional 1,000 yuan is added without opening the package.
Posts like this are very popular and are crowded with people watching the fun. Scalpers who see business opportunities also take notice.
Staying up all night and queuing is nothing. Before it gets dark, they have already started queuing up at the entrance of major mobile phone stores.
Although the salesperson came out and explained that there were no smartphones in stock in the store, and if you want to buy one, you have to wait until tomorrow. They didn't leave either, because they were queuing up all night to buy mobile phones tomorrow.
Compared with consumers who are eager to get smartphones, major mobile phone manufacturers are simply confused. Especially mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola that are very popular in China.
I was completely stunned. From yesterday to now, I have been completely confused. First, the president of China District began to convene the company's top management for a meeting.
Then the shareholders of the parent company flew over overnight for a meeting, various studies, various discussions, and finally... they were helpless in the face of the sudden emergence of an epoch-making product, the smartphone.
I could only watch with open eyes as the sales of the new mobile phones I originally had high hopes for plummeted. At the same time, the shares of major mobile phone companies also plummeted.
"I'll go! Wang Ming, you can actually buy an Honor mobile phone." In a small restaurant, people from a small company were having a dinner at the same time.
Wang Ming, who was usually quite transparent in the company, entered the box and took out his Honor phone and put it on the table.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention. After all, the appearance difference between smartphones and traditional mobile phones is so big that you can see it at a glance.
What's more, the LOGO of the Honor mobile phone RY is popular across the Internet today. Even if they have never seen a smartphone in person, they have seen pictures of various smartphones on the Internet, especially the LOGO of the Honor mobile phone, which they can recognize at a glance. .
"Haha, um... good luck, good luck. Isn't my mobile phone broken? I'm going to buy a new mobile phone recently. I went to the mobile phone store yesterday to check out Nokia's latest mobile phone, and it turned out that Go to Honor phone and sell it.
At that time, the shopping guide introduced it to me and showed me the experience machine to operate it. I fell in love with it at first sight and bought it at that time. "Wang Ming had a faint smile on his face. Although he wanted to show his humility, he could not hide the pride on his face.
After all, due to limited supply, it can be said that it is hard to find a machine now. It is said that the goods in mobile phone stores tomorrow will not be enough for customers who have paid deposits, let alone those retail investors who really want to buy.
"Wang Ming, can you show me your mobile phone? I saw a post on the Internet and it said that there is a fruit cutting game in it which is really fun." A female colleague said hesitantly.
This female colleague is very good-looking and is a goddess in the company. Many single male colleagues want to pursue her, but she usually keeps a distance from these male colleagues. Wang Ming also has a crush on this one.
So when he heard his crush female colleague say this, Wang Ming's face suddenly lit up, "Okay, okay, come on, come on, I'll teach you how to play. In addition to cutting fruit, this thing also has to dodge bombs."
"Then, Li Hai, let's change seats. Can I sit here?" the female colleague couldn't help but said.
Because she didn't usually talk to these male colleagues, when the seats were assigned during the party, she sat among the female colleagues, separated from Wang Ming by several colleagues.
"Okay." Li Hai smiled awkwardly and stood up.
Although he really didn't want his crush to be so close to Wang Ming, he just didn't express his crush. At this time, his colleagues were watching, and he was too embarrassed to refuse to change positions.
So Wang Ming sat down with his female colleague.
Then Wang Ming put the phone on the table very gentlemanly, "First click on this, then click on this to start, and then just pull and cut with your hand like this..."
Wang Ming began to teach his female colleagues and there were a few people watching the fun next to the fruit. Although Wang Ming was a gentleman and put his mobile phone on the table instead of holding it in his hand for his female colleagues to come over.
But the screen of the mobile phone is only so big, and there are several people squeezing in next to it. In addition, they also had to teach their female colleagues how to play games, so the two of them naturally got together side by side.
This made the male colleagues next to him feel sour in their stomachs, especially since in the past, the people who gathered around Wang Ming to watch the fun were all female colleagues, and it was difficult for their male colleagues to get close to him.
Seeing that the usually transparent Wang Ming was surrounded by so many female colleagues, all of them yelling and yelling. Although their behavior was not intimate, they were basically crowded together.
Especially since the goddess he had a crush on and Wang Ming were playing games with each other, and the strong smell of vinegar had already covered up the aroma of the food that had just been served.
"You must buy an Honor phone. Even if you have to pay more, you still have to buy an Honor phone."
This is the sentiment of all the male colleagues at the dinner table, whether they are married or single, they all think so now.
And this scene doesn't just happen to Wang Ming. The second generation who doesn't have enough money to buy a mobile phone can surprise peers of the same status in a small circle.
If you are lucky enough to buy a mobile phone, it is a direct counterattack. Girls who usually don't dare to interact with each other now use the excuse of inviting each other to play fruit cutting games, and it is easy for them to sit shoulder to shoulder and play together.
This kind of relationship has a good entry point. As long as the man is not too straight and the girl is not disgusted with him, it can develop more or less.
"Why don't you take it out earlier if you have such fun things." In the villa where Yang Dongxu lives in the magic city, as the fruit fell faster and faster, Ran Feifei accidentally cut into the landmine without killing it, and looked dissatisfied. Yang Dongxu glanced at him.
This made Yang Dongxu look innocent. Didn't he just lose the competition with Zhuo Qing'er and Xiao Wenchen next to him? Don't worry about me.
"My aunt lost again, haha, I am first again." She had just lost here, and Zhuo Qing'er was also killed by the explosion. Xiao Wenchen, who had won, raised his hands and cheered.
"I'm so happy, let's win two out of three games and try another one." Ran Feifei snorted unwilling to admit defeat. Zhuo Qing'er had already clicked the restart button.
"Play another game and go back to the house to do your homework. Don't play too much every day, which is bad for your eyes." Yang Dongxu glanced at his son who was quickly starting another game with his fingers and told him.
I have to say that with the development of the times, children and young people do learn things very quickly.
For example, in the 1970s and 1980s, if someone bought a motorcycle in rural areas, it was not only unusual, but many people didn’t know how to ride it and needed to learn how to ride it.
But around 2000, when young men aged 17 or 18 saw a motorcycle, they basically told them about the clutch and accelerator, and then they could ride the motorcycle away after they got on it.
But now that smartphones have just appeared, adults still need the help of shopping guides to guide them when operating them. As a child, you only need to watch adults operate it a few times, and you will learn it yourself. You can play with your mobile phone, and your learning ability is not ordinary.
"Boss, there's a call from Manager Lei. He said you'd better come over." Zhang Yue came over.
"Ask him to ignore those people. If anyone makes trouble, ask him to give me the list and I will take care of them." Yang Dongxu glanced at his mouth.
You don't even need to ask him to know why Lei Jun asked him to go there. It must be that the smartphone cake is too tempting. In just two days, some people saw huge benefits.
So I contacted Lei Jun overtly and covertly to see if I could share some information. Yang Dongxu has never been polite to these people, reaching out to chop their hands and feet.
You must know that before the advent of smart phones, everything that should be reported had already been clearly reported. He even personally went to Yanjing and stayed in Zhongnanhai for a day, telling everything that needed to be said and his future plans.
It can be said that it was approved by the higher authorities and got the green light from some convenient policies.
Therefore, those who have a real identity and background know that he is standing behind the smartphone. If they have any ideas, they will come directly to talk to him instead of going to Lei Jun.
As for those people who didn't even know about him, they were just some jealous people who were used to taking advantage of their power to take advantage of the situation, and they wanted to take advantage of it this time.
If these people dare to cause trouble on their smartphones, he can deal with them in minutes, because none of these people have a clean butt.
"Okay, Boss Guo invites you to dinner. He is already in Shanghai." Zhang Yue continued to report.
The boss Guo he mentioned was the businessman from Wanwan, the boss of Fudakang. Currently, the business environment between the mainland and Wanwan is quite good.
Therefore, when Bayan businessmen invest in the Mainland, they can also receive the benefits provided by Hong Kong businessmen. Therefore, many Bayan businessmen have invested in the Mainland in recent years.
Smartphones are now manufactured and assembled by Fudacom, so the other party really wants to take advantage of Yang Dongxu.
"Eating is free." Yang Dongxu waved his hand, he had never been interested in such entertainment.
"Magic City is planning to hold a small gathering of businessmen from the Mainland, Xiangjiang and Wanwan. The time will be the afternoon after tomorrow. And..."
