43: The Jinli mobile phone that caused a national sensation
In addition, the second-in-command of the official Huajiangbei government also came to the stage to give a speech and encourage the employees.
When he left, he patted Lin Chen’s shoulder and encouraged Lin Chen to work hard and told him that if he had any difficulties, he could ask the official government for help.
In response, Lin Chen naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, claiming that he would strive to develop into a famous brand in Huajiangbei’s electronics industry and bring more employment to Huajiangbei…
At this time, it was somewhat unexpected that the second-in-command of the dignified Huajiangbei official government would come, but it was actually very normal.
After all, a legitimate and legal mobile phone factory with a total investment of 15 million and over 400 employees landing in Huajiangbei was no small political achievement.
In the current era, an investment of 15 million was not a small sum, and even in Huajiangbei, it was considered a large mobile phone manufacturer.
Therefore, Lin Chen’s Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory was also well-known among the local Huajiangbei official government, belonging to an object of key attention from higher-ups.
Next, everything Lin Chen did would be much easier than before, as Lin Chen’s Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory was a legitimate mobile phone factory, and he also had 400 employees under him.
Although this mobile phone factory did not yet have a license to produce mobile phones, licenses could be leased for use, as the model of leasing licenses was popular throughout the country, so this was no small political achievement.
However, it was not an isolated incident.
On this day, Jinli Mobile, which had caused quite a stir in the mobile phone industry last month, also officially released their two mobile phones.
One of the mobile phones was called Jinli (Tiashida) GN303, a white flip phone with a dazzling and beautiful appearance that rivaled foreign mobile phones.
This mobile phone was also famous in history, having sold 120,000 units in its first month of listing, causing no small shock in the domestic mobile phone industry.
The other mobile phone was called Jinli (Tiashida) FN301, codenamed Jinli Tianchen, a name that implied sweeping the world after its birth like Dawn, and its appearance was nine-tenths similar to the Chenguang Mobile Phone!
Therefore, although this mobile phone was just a bar phone, because its appearance was modeled after the Chenguang Mobile Phone, the overall look was also very beautiful.
It can be said that this appearance alone formed a sharp contrast with other bar phones, and even the Nokia 3110, which is currently selling well, could not compare to its good looks!
At this time, the reason why both mobile phones had “Tiashida” behind the Jinli name was because Jinli Mobile Phone Company, like Chen Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory, did not have its own license, and to produce mobile phones, they had to lease licenses from others.
Although the mobile phones of Tiashida Mobile Phone Company were not well-known nationwide, they had licenses.
So they leased licenses to other mobile phone companies, allowing others' mobile phones to be sold under their name, and each license cost about dozens of yuan!
Without producing any mobile phones, just letting others' mobile phones be sold under their name could earn dozens of yuan; this business was truly wonderful.
It can be said that this business was truly profitable, which is also the reason why this mobile phone company called Tiashida was not famous in later generations.
There was no way around it; if you can make money lying down, why bother working hard? Isn’t that foolish!
Of course, these were digressions; at this time, the listing of Jinli Mobile caused a huge stir in Pengcheng and even in the entire Daxia mobile phone industry.
There were two hot topics that caused a stir: one was people discussing whether Jinli Mobile could challenge the position of Boda Mobile.
After all, Jinli Mobile had originally spent 200 million yuan in cash to establish a mobile phone company, which meant that this company was powerful and not to be underestimated, with the potential to challenge the position of Boda Mobile.
The second reason was that Jinli Mobile’s two mobile phones were simply too beautiful, whether it was the flip phone GN303 or the jinli tianchen mobile phone, which was modeled after the Chenguang Mobile Phone.
The two mobile phones were incredibly attractive among many domestic mobile phones, and most importantly, their prices were cheap.
Among them, the flip phone Jinli GN303 cost only 1280 yuan, and the other Jinli Tianchen only cost 998 yuan!
With cheap prices and good looks, these two mobile phones naturally had the potential to sell explosively.
Of course, Jinli Mobile was not idle either; when their mobile phones were launched, various advertisements were flying everywhere.
Advertisements appeared on several important provincial TV stations in the north and south, and even on Hong Kong Starry Sky TV across the border!
It can be said that just this wave of advertising alone, the funds spent by Jinli Mobile were probably no less than tens of millions, which can be described as a super large expenditure.
It must be said that in terms of advertising, Jinli Mobile was serious; whether in the previous life or now, they were truly willing to spend money on advertising!
…
At this time, in the Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory, a cable TV was playing an advertisement.
The advertisement showed a family watching TV, but the mobile phone rang suddenly, and at this time, the man smiled at his daughter and said:
“Bring Dad’s mobile phone.”
“Okay.”
In the TV, a little girl a few years old bounced to an office desk and tried to pick up the mobile phone on the computer desk, but because the desk was too high, it slipped and fell.
Seeing this, the little girl immediately burst into tears, and after the family came here, the man stroked the girl’s head and then said:
“Golden quality, establish the world! Dad’s mobile phone is the most drop-resistant mobile phone in the world, don’t cry, baby.”
At this time, the scene changed, and the family gathered together and shouted loudly:
“Golden quality, establish the world, the most drop-resistant mobile phone in history, jinli tianchen mobile phone!”
The advertisement ended, and seeing this, Lin Chen’s two apprentices both clenched their fists with ashen faces.
At this time, Huang Hua, who was more cheerful, cursed angrily:
“These bastards, their Jinli Mobile is too obviously copied.
What’s the difference between this mobile phone and our original Chenguang Mobile Phone, except for a larger screen?”
Huang Hua was so angry, the reason was actually not only because jinli tianchen mobile phone shamelessly copied the original Chenguang Mobile Phone.
The main reason was that the current Jinli Tianchen and the upcoming Shuguang A1 bar phone had a great similarity in appearance.
That’s right, these two mobile phone appearances had a great similarity.
Because the appearance of this Shuguang A1 still inherited the design concept and style of the original Chenguang Mobile Phone, how could their appearances not be similar?
So if the shuguang a1 phone and Jinli Tianchen were placed together, it would probably be considered a series of mobile phones.
Faced with this situation, faced with Jinli Mobile’s shameless copying behavior, how could Huang Hua and Chen Dong not be angry?
“Alright, saying anything now is useless, we have to speak with our fists.”
Huang Hua and Chen Dong, who were beside him, also nodded slightly in agreement after hearing Lin Chen’s words; saying anything now was useless, they had to face reality.
Seeing this, both of them also sat up straight, ready to seriously face the next problem.
Among them, in Shuguang Technology Company, Huang Hua was responsible for mobile phone sales, Chen Dong was responsible for the management of Shuguang Mobile Phone Factory, and Lin Chen was responsible for overall planning and product research and development.
