Chapter 855 Detour (7000 Words)
The entire phone is much smaller than the previous one. As the beauty walks, the entire phone swings on her chest.
The phone rings, and the beauty picks it up and flips it open.
The inside of the flip phone is silver, and the host speaks again.
"The second-generation Panda phone supports the phone book function, which can record the other party's phone number and name. In the future, if you want to make a call, you can directly find the other party's information in the phone book and make a call directly. You don't have to carry a thick phone book anymore. It can support up to 200 entries."
"The second-generation Panda phone also has chord ringtones!"
"The communication quality of the second-generation Panda phone is better!"
"The first phone has three colors, black, white, and silver."
"The second phone has blue, red, orange, and white."
"We provide everyone with the second-generation Panda phone for experience."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the staff lifted the shelf covered on one side of the hall.
There were hundreds of mobile phones on the shelf, and the two mobile phones were of various colors. Under the light, they looked even more dazzling.
The people present put down their things and applauded, and then went to get their phones.
Each mobile phone has a tag with the phone number on it.
In addition, most mobile phones are in English, because those who can attend the exchange meeting here must know English.
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's smaller than the previous generation."
"Yes!"
"The phone book function is very good!"
"This is probably the most fatal blow to some junk mobile phones."
"This should be the mobile phone that successful people hold in their hands."
"To be honest, the weight of the previous generation of mobile phones is still a bit large."
"It's already very good. I didn't see how big Motorola's previous generation of products was."
"Let's send a text message to see?"
"Yeah!" These people started to play with the mobile phones after getting them.
And there was also a small instruction manual.
Many people started to write text messages and send them to each other.
"The upgraded communication system can display caller ID."
"If an acquaintance calls you, you can see the acquaintance's name!" The host said again.
Everyone started to play with them, and some ladies picked up the small flip phone.
The host introduced: "We have done 100,000 opening and closing experiments on flip phones."
"Of course, please trust our good after-sales service."
"These two phones will be released on Christmas, but the communication system needs to be upgraded before that."
"After the communication system is upgraded, it can be compatible with Panda 1 and 2 phones, and calls between Panda 1 and 2 phones will not be affected!"
"It's just that Panda 1 phones can't receive text messages."
Everyone opened the flip phone, and the screen inside the phone was blue, no longer the monotonous color of the phone next to it.
Blue gives people a more advanced feeling.
"Panda 2 is really an epoch-making product."
"With the SMS function, many things no longer require phone calls."
"I wonder how much this phone costs?"
The host heard this and answered: "The straight-screen Panda 2 is $3,888, and the flip phone is $4,988. This is the unified retail price worldwide."
The dealers present knew that there was a percentage between the factory price and the retail price. When they heard the retail price, they roughly knew how much the factory price was.
The reason why the host announced the retail price was to let the sellers present to measure whether this price is competitive in the region and whether there is a market.
"I feel that for successful people, $3,888 is not unacceptable."
"A simple text message function and good call quality are nothing for successful people."
The dealers discussed that the first batch of customers for this batch of mobile phones must be high-income people.
As for the flip phone, $4,988, this belongs to high-end consumers.
And at first glance, these shapes and colors are definitely prepared for ladies.
Women's money is one of the easier money in the world.
The exchange meeting was very successful, and the mobile phones held by these dealers were finally given to these people.
The next day, Panda Mobile held a press conference and announced that global wireless communications have entered the digital communication era.
The release date of the two mobile phones is Christmas.
At the same time as Panda Mobile held a press conference, the official website of Panda Mobile in Europe also refreshed the performance, size and weight of the two mobile phones.
It quickly attracted a large number of onlookers, and as a result, the official website of Panda Mobile almost collapsed.
Fortunately, the official website of Panda Mobile temporarily installed a server.
The Panda 2nd generation mobile phone is an epoch-making digital communication mobile phone.
Communication operators in various places have signed agreements with Fiberhome Technology Company to upgrade the existing communication system.
In addition, Panda Mobile announced that it has received orders for 500,000 Panda 2nd generation mobile phones, and said that it will not accept new orders for the time being. When to accept new orders, it will be notified at that time.
Liu Hai was relieved when he saw the news. The exchange meeting of the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone is to let everyone see the mobile phone on the one hand, and to receive orders on the other hand.
500,000 Panda 2nd generation mobile phones, this is not a small number.
In fact, according to the production capacity of the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone, another 500,000 units can be received.
However, it is better to take it slow at the beginning for such expensive mobile phones.
You should know that a car is only a few thousand dollars now, which means that the price of a mobile phone is almost equivalent to that of a car.
Of course, with the development of semiconductor technology, mobile phones will become cheaper and cheaper in the future.
So we will try 500,000 units first.
"After returning with promotional materials, each dealer has begun to receive pre-orders!" Ni Nan said.
"This is a routine operation. After all, 500,000 orders are not a small number. According to the average shipping price of 3,500 US dollars, it is more than one billion US dollars."
"No one wants to buy the technical patents of the second-generation Panda mobile phone?" Liu Hai asked again.
"Many dealers have obtained some information, but this possibility is very small."
"Because it will cost a lot of money!"
"Ask Motorola if it is interested in building a factory in Bald Eagle, or if they cooperate with American Communications Company, we can charge less patent fees." Liu Hai is ready to strangle other friendly companies.
Because Panda mobile phones are invincible, because our costs and prices are lower than all foreign companies that have obtained authorization.
If these authorized companies want to make trouble, then Panda mobile phones will directly reduce prices, and the other party will fall into an unsolvable situation.
The global retail price of $3,888 takes into account the licensing of patents to other companies, production in other countries, and giving these people a profit.
Now only the domestic distributors of Bald Eagle can get this authorization.
The Panda Computer Industrial Park in Gaul can manufacture this kind of mobile phone. Obviously, there will be no second company entering this industry.
"Motorola does not want to build a factory, but they want to OEM the second-generation mobile phone. The orders they have placed now are mainly for sales in Xiaobenzi and Lijiapo."
"Bald Eagle needs to upgrade the signal base station. I don't know if the government will support it!"
"If the government does not support it, then the second-generation Panda mobile phone will not be able to be sold in Bald Eagle, so Motorola has not yet placed an OEM order, but has signed a cooperation intention, and the same is true for American Communications Company." Ni Nan explained.
Liu Hai nodded. Panda Mobile will definitely produce OEM mobile phones, such as the production of new Motorola digital communication mobile phones, and can also design the appearance separately.
Even Motorola can design the appearance itself.
Panda phones are basically branded in Bald Eagle.
"Panda 1st generation computers are now entering Bald Eagle on a large scale."
"Someone has developed a converter between Panda computers and Bald Eagle's network!"
"Now many people smuggle computers and related computer accessories from Europe to Bald Eagle."
"The price of Panda 1st generation computers is much cheaper than the computers launched by IBM and Apple."
Liu Hai was not surprised to hear this news. Although the network standards and interfaces of the two sides are different, there are many masters in this world.
As long as there is enough profit, someone will develop these converters, Internet converters, interface converters, etc.
No one smuggled Panda 1st generation computers before because the profit was not much, but now that Panda 2nd generation computers have come out, the price of Panda 1st generation computers has plummeted.
The price of computers in Bald Eagle is still very strong, which makes many people think of other things.
In fact, smuggling is a tradition in Bald Eagle. Merchants who ban smuggling in Bald Eagle will become rich.
Bald Eagle prohibits alcohol, which has given birth to a large number of merchants who specialize in smuggling alcohol.
Bald Eagle prohibits drugs, let's not talk about this, some departments personally go out to smuggle.
What many people don't know is that drug abuse is rampant in the Bald Eagle's army.
But this is not a big deal, because drug abuse in the army is nothing new.
Whether it is World War I or World War II, whether it is the Allied Forces or others, soldiers will be given some drugs. Some drugs can keep soldiers awake for many days and make them excited, because this is the only way to persist in the war.
Most of the so-called war trauma syndrome of the Bald Eagle is actually related to these drugs.
"How is the Panda Computer Industrial Park in Gaul?"
"It will start trial production soon. Gaul attaches great importance to this industrial park and has given full support in electricity and other aspects. Moreover, their leaders will come to give speeches during the trial production."
"Yeah!" Liu Hai nodded!
In the evening, Liu Hai saw the news that the order of the second-generation Panda mobile phone exceeded 500,000 units in the evening news.
How many upstream and downstream industrial chains can an order of 500,000 units drive.
And the shipment volume of the first-generation Panda mobile phone has not decreased at all, because the price of the first-generation Panda mobile phone is cheaper, so there are more potential users.
Of course, there are a group of people who are still waiting for the second-generation Panda mobile phone!
"This phone is much more convenient than the previous ones." The junior sister took a blue Panda 2nd generation phone.
"In the future, the functions of mobile phones will become more and more. Mobile phones can do what computers can do." Liu Hai said.
"Can mobile phones make reports in the future?"
"It can make reports and write papers. Of course, some things are better to use on computers!" Liu Hai nodded.
The Panda 2nd generation mobile phone was released globally on Christmas, so Kyoto is also upgrading the technology of communication base stations.
"I'm afraid the exports brought by the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone are not small." The junior sister asked again.
"Now we are mainly focusing on equipment for upgrading communication system technology. We have received orders worth more than one billion US dollars, and the number will increase." Liu Hai nodded.
The export data of the second-generation Panda mobile phone may not be very large, but there are many related industrial chains behind it.
The export data of the communication system technology upgrade is even greater.
When dealers from all over the country saw the data of 500,000 units, they had a bottom line in their hearts and went back to upgrade their communication systems.
When the news was reported in China, Europe was also reporting on the news.
Especially the various performance parameters of the second-generation Panda mobile phone and the benefits of data communication.
On the one hand, European countries now have some sense of superiority, especially compared with some nouveau riche.
In addition, mobile phone dealers use this opportunity to market mobile phones.
So many people who have the ability to buy call to make reservations after seeing the news media report.
It didn't take long to be told that reservations are no longer accepted because there are too many people who have made reservations.
The more this happens, the more people who didn't make reservations feel that they have lost money.
In addition, the media is bragging about the digital communication era and the epoch-making mobile phone.
So people who didn't make reservations feel that they have missed a high-tech product.
Although the prices of both phones are very high, 3888 and 4988 US dollars.
Compared with the excitement of European media and the voices of people in the technology industry.
The Bald Eagle media on the other side of the ocean did not react at all, and even the newspapers did not report the relevant news.
At the American Communications Company, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit depressing.
"These damn politicians!"
"These are just maggots who know how to collect money!"
"They actually did not approve our communication system upgrade."
American Communications Company submitted an application to the Bald Eagle government to upgrade the communication system, but it was rejected.
The reason for the rejection is very simple. The relevant standards of the Panda 2nd generation digital communication mobile phone are not available in the Bald Eagle country.
In other words, the Bald Eagle does not recognize the relevant standards of the Panda 2nd generation digital communication mobile phone.
These shareholders of American Communications Company watched the opportunity to make a fortune, and then they were intercepted.
"I think we should find a breakthrough!"
"I think we should find a breakthrough!" The shareholders of American Communications Company obviously do not want to give up this opportunity.
The shareholders of American Communications Company certainly know that it is obviously unrealistic to rely on their own company to develop new communication standards.
Fenghuo Technology Company invested a lot of manpower and material resources in developing this communication standard.
Let's not talk about the money, the relevant personnel, and the standard-related equipment developed.
Just look at the patents of Fenghuo Technology Company and you will know that behind these massive patents are the efforts of countless people and countless funds.
It seems that there may be many experiments behind a successful patent.
The investment in technology research and development cannot be measured with a specific number in many cases.
Because you never know which direction of this technology is the most correct.
"Nokia is also developing a new generation of digital communication standards, but they seem to adopt new standards." A shareholder said.
"These Nordic pirates came to our country to rob our wealth."
"I think Texas is a good breakthrough!"
"I also think Texas is a good breakthrough."
The reason why the shareholders present said that Texas is a good breakthrough is from the history of Texas.
Texas used to belong to Mexico, but later became independent, and then had border disputes with Mexico.
Finally, with the support of the bald eagle, Texas obtained its current border.
Moreover, Texas joined Bald Eagle on an equal footing. When Texas joined Bald Eagle, Texas's external propaganda was that Bald Eagle joined Texas.
Texas has the right to withdraw from Bald Eagle at any time, which is something that other states do not have.
So Texas can often do its own thing.
If the Texas government or the Texas court allows the Panda II mobile phone standard to be implemented in Texas, this will create a breakthrough.
Because for Texas, whether it is Panda mobile phones or Nokia mobile phones, there are no factories in its own state.
Then it doesn't matter whose standard you use, and Bald Eagle's new generation of digital communication standards has not been developed.
"I feel that the power of our Panda 2nd generation mobile phone is still a little weak."
"Why not bring Panda computers along? If Texas allows the sale of Panda computers, it will be easy to deal with."
"Whether it is allowed to sell or not, we can find someone to promote this motion, or even let the court decide."
"If Panda computers are legal in Texas, then our Panda 2nd generation mobile phone will face much less resistance."
"Then do it!"
"I think it is necessary to bring Motorola along. Motorola has a great influence."
"But they will share our market!"
"There is nothing we can do about it."
"What do you think of the analysis of these experts on TV now?"
The expert of Bald Eagle said on TV that the CDMA digital communication standard of Panda 2nd generation mobile phone is not as good as the GPRS that Nokia and other companies are developing.
"Whether the GPRS technology is good or not has nothing to do with us."
"Companies like Nokia will not license this technology to us."
"Technology that can't make money for us is not excellent no matter how good it is."
"That's absolutely right."
"Then we'll find someone in Texas to promote this."
After America Communications and Motorola discussed privately.
Soon, a Texas congressman supported Panda Computer's entry into Texas because Panda Computer's price was cheaper and more cost-effective.
Then another Texas congressman came out to express his support for this proposal, unless IBM and Apple Computer were willing to move their headquarters to Texas.
Some Texas congressmen also came out to express their opposition, because Texas Instruments is a supplier of many products to these two companies.
However, some Texas congressmen also said that they could introduce Panda Computer's technical license.
Soon, many people stood up to protest against IBM and Apple's low performance and high price.
Many people even said that IBM and Apple's computers are monopolizing the market.
Many people in Bald Eagle don't know why such a thing happened?
For the high price and low performance of IBM and Apple computers, this concept instantly gained the support of many people across the country.
IBM and Apple said that it is safer to use our computers, after all, we are Bald Eagle's own computers.
Soon someone refuted that this was a lie of you capitalists, you just want to make more money.
For a time, there was a lot of noise in Texas and Bald Eagle because of this matter!
Some people supported the entry of Panda Computer, while some people in Bald Eagle opposed it.
The government department of Bald Eagle also stated that we in Bald Eagle do not recognize the standards of Panda Computer, so we advise everyone not to use Panda Computer purchased privately, because this will involve breaking the law.
However, many congressmen in Texas expressed their support for Panda Computer Texas.
Even Mexico next door shouted that Panda Computer is more suitable for us in Mexico.
Of course, there are many people who oppose this voice.
These congressmen in Texas did not receive much support in the country, but instead received support from these European countries.
Many congressmen in countries such as Niu Niu Gallic Chicken expressed their support for the proposal of the Texas congressmen, believing that this is the symbol of freedom.
This matter soon caused a sensation internationally.
Liu Hai was also a little confused about this matter, but he thought these politicians were opposing it for the sake of opposition.
Anyway, there is nothing that the politicians in the Bald Eagle government can't do.
The opposition in the West can find any reason to oppose some of the existing things.
Moreover, when the leader of the Bald Eagle is replaced, the first thing he does is to stop some of the things done by the previous one.
This is actually easy to understand. Many things done by the previous one were given to his own relatives.
When the new one comes, it is definitely impossible to give the money to the relatives of the previous one to make money.
"Motorola wants the technical license of Panda Computer?" However, when Liu Hai heard that Motorola wanted to obtain the technical license of Panda 2nd Generation Computer, he knew that this matter might not be simple.
"It's just a cooperation intention." Ni Nan said.
"Did Motorola really get through the relationship in Texas?"
"It shouldn't be possible. There is also a Texas Instruments in Texas!" Liu Hai thought to himself that it shouldn't be possible.
But it's just a cooperation intention, there is no problem.
"The cooperation intention can be signed!" Liu Hai made the decision directly.
Fenghuo Technology Company quickly reached a cooperation intention with Motorola.
Then Motorola quickly talked about this matter.
As long as Texas passes the bill for Panda computers to enter Texas, Motorola will immediately build a factory in Texas.
Even the people in Bald Eagle are a little confused. What does Motorola want to do with this market in Texas?
However, this proposal was not passed by the Texas Legislature.
Then Motorola took the matter to court.
If the Texas court ruled to allow Panda computers to be sold, then Panda computers can still be sold in Texas.
Texas did not pass it, but Mexico passed the bill to join the international Internet and allow Panda computers to be sold domestically.
You should know that Mexico did not recognize the international Internet under the pressure of Bald Eagle.
Niu Niu, Gaul, and many European countries and countries around the world welcomed this.
Bald Eagle was angry, you little black guy, you go back on your word.
The reason why Mexico agreed was actually the efforts of the smugglers behind the scenes.
Because most of the smuggling of various accessories of Panda computers entered Bald Eagle from Mexico.
In addition, these people in Mexico are also jealous of the Internet economy. Not to mention more, this network operator will earn a lot of money a year.
The civilian Internet in Bald Eagle's home has not been widely used, let alone in Mexico.
At the end of October 1989, the Texas court did not support the appeal filed by Motorola.
This news attracted many people's opposition, believing that this was a manifestation of unfreedom and a monopoly.
Then in November 1989, another Texas congressman stood up and said that Texas would also enter the digital communication era and allow current wireless network operators to upgrade.
He said that Texas should be at the forefront of the world, not lagging behind like other states.
This proposal was supported by many people, and even many people who originally supported other congressmen expressed their support for this person.
Other congressmen were a little panicked when they heard the news, and also expressed their support for this bill.
At the end of November 1989, Texas passed a bill to upgrade existing wireless communications, but required mobile operators to be compatible with the mobile communication standards developed by local companies in Bald Eagle.
This bill seems reasonable, but there is no digital mobile communication standard in Bald Eagle now.
The relevant companies have not yet developed a formal standard that can be used.
Then Liu Hai only realized now that this was something done by America Communications and Motorola.
Because after Texas passed this bill, America Communications and Motorola requested to order 100,000 Panda II mobile phones, of course, OEM.
And signed a cooperation intention with Fiberhome Technology to upgrade Texas mobile communications.
Of course, Panda Mobile must accept this order.
"Tsk tsk, as long as there is enough interest, there is nothing these guys can't do." Liu Hai now understands that Panda Computer is just a cover, and the real pusher is America Communications and Motorola.
For the passage of this bill by the Texas Legislature, media such as Niu Niu and Gallic Chicken have praised the Texas Legislature, believing that this is true freedom and the embodiment of the will of citizens.
However, the Bald Eagle government strongly opposed this incident.
However, Texas said that we have asked dealers to be compatible with all data communication standards.
But even so, the Bald Eagle government said that this is absolutely not possible.
However, this statement of the Bald Eagle made the international community look at the Bald Eagle government differently!
The media of the Bull and Gallic Chicken even claimed that the Bald Eagle's move was a manifestation of monopoly, and the politicians of the Bald Eagle have become the spokespersons of certain capitalists.
And what kind of people are Texans? You northerners also want to control us in the south?
However, given the unique political status of Texas, the opposition of the Bald Eagle government has no effect.
Americom and Motorola quickly upgraded Texas' mobile communication equipment and launched their own brand of mobile communication mobile phones, Motorola mobile communication mobile phones and Huangshi communication mobile phones.
The brand of Americom's OEM is Huangshi.
Both companies have two products, one straight and one flip.
The market price of the same products of the two companies is the same.
