265: Determined to develop a real smartphone and not knowing natural disasters
December 25th, December 26th, December 27th, December 28th…
Starting from Christmas Day, December 25th, the Nokia 5300 created a sensation across Global media.
From December 25, 2003, to January 1, 2004, the Nokia 5300 was a Global media sensation for several days!
If it weren't for New Year's Day overshadowing all other news, the incredible news heat of the Nokia 5300 might have continued for a few more days.
On this day, January 1, 2004, Shuguang Technology officially held an internal high-level management meeting.
“The total sales of the nokia 5300 these past few days have reached 800,000 units, and it's currently maintaining a daily sales volume of 130,000 units.
If there are no surprises, Nokia will likely sell 50 million Nokia 5300 phones in the coming year.
It's astonishing that a high-end phone priced at 6999 yuan can sell so well; it just goes to show how many wealthy people there are in the Global.”
The speaker at this moment was Huang Hua, Lin Chen's apprentice, who is responsible for the business of the Shuguang Electronics Direct Store.
He was incredibly surprised by the sales volume created by the Nokia 5300, feeling a sense of bewilderment as if his worldview had been shattered.
After all, the Nokia 5300 retailed for as much as 6999 Xia Yuan, which was truly too expensive.
Theoretically, many users would buy it, but it shouldn't reach the level of selling 50 million units a year.
But the reality was terrifying; even though it was priced at 6999 Xia Yuan, Global consumers were buying it like crazy, as if money was no object—it was truly insane.
In response, Chen Dong, Lin Chen's other apprentice, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help but utter a suppressed, angry remark:
“Damn it, if our high-end mobile phone components hadn't been subjected to despicable suppression that limited large-scale procurement,
then the Nokia 5300 would absolutely not have achieved such high sales. Their sales should have been reduced by at least thirty to forty percent. Damn the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants!”
Facing Chen Dong's angry words, all the high-level executives of Shuguang Technology present nodded in agreement.
Although their dawn s1 seemed a bit weaker compared to the Nokia 5300, the dawn s1 also had its unique selling points.
The dawn s1 boasts a 2-megapixel super-camera effect, arcade game features, WIPI communication technology that replaces Bluetooth and allows for online gaming, and a fast-responding Shuguang Mobile System.
Additionally, the phone's processor offers powerful performance. These selling points combined ensure that the dawn s1 can hold its own against the Nokia 5300.
It's not to say it can defeat the Nokia 5300, but at least grabbing thirty to forty percent of the Nokia 5300's sales share is not a problem.
But reality is so helpless. Shuguang Technology cannot procure mid-to-high-end mobile phone components.
Even if the dawn s1 is not too much weaker than the Nokia 5300, what can be done if there are no mobile phone components in the end?
Nothing!
In response, facing a sea of anger, Lin Chen sighed and slowly began to speak:
“Alright, complaining now won't change anything. Let's continue to walk steadily and develop our core technology.
In five months, at the latest, we will release our new high-end phone, and this time, I want to release a true Smart Phone.”
Upon hearing this, the people present sighed, feeling that time had become so long.
However, they were curious about the
