Chapter 1080: The Age When Mobile Phones Were Not a Luxury
"Which phone should I buy?" Putting away the newspaper in his hand, Saul who was standing in the subway car, still hesitant in his heart, Saul's performance this year was quite good, and a generous bonus was given in the middle of the year, so Saul moved the idea of buying a mobile phone.
After watching the three-party joint press conference, Saul understood that the mobile phone he wanted to buy must be one of the three.
But Saul has been hesitant, the funds he has prepared are about 2,000 US dollars, which is enough to buy Daqian 2, and it is a little insufficient to buy Nokia and Motorola.
However, Saul has another deposit in his hand, which is the money Saul has saved for a down payment on a house during his working life for several years, and borrowing 1,000 from it to buy some good mobile phones does not seem to be a problem.
But the question is, which one should you buy?
In fact, from the bottom of my heart, Saul likes Motorola STARTAC more, the reason is very simple, that is, Motorola STARTAC is so beautiful, it completely breaks the inherent image of mobile phones, even if Saul is a boy, it is a little irresistible.
But the price of Motorola STARTAC is very impressive, and Saul doesn't really want to use the finances in the home purchase fund, so Saul is entangled.
In order to save money, although the company's office building is in the center of New York, Saul lives in a suburban location, and spends about an hour and a half commuting every day, Saul needs to take a bus to the subway station, then take a bus from the subway station to the center of New York, and finally walk ten minutes to the company.
Among them, he spent the longest time on the subway, a full hour, and this time was also the most uncomfortable for Saul.
Because Saul took the train during the morning rush hour, and the station where he got on the train was basically impossible to have a place, Saul needed to stand in a crowded subway car filled with all kinds of unusual smells for an hour.
Because he had to pull the tab with one hand, Thor couldn't even read newspapers and magazines, and had to endure the boring and uncomfortable hour every day.
Just as Thor began to prepare for a bad start to the new day, Thor suddenly noticed that a new guy in the car had his head down the whole time, even if he pulled the pull tab with one hand, he still lowered his head, as if he was fiddling with something in his hand.
Thor poked his head curiously to take a look, and found that what this guy was holding in his hand was actually a Daqian 2 mobile phone, because Thor had been studying these three mobile phones for too long, so he recognized the model of this mobile phone at a glance.
"This is the game feature of Daqian 2!" Soon, Thor also found out why the other party had kept his head down, because the man had been playing the game of Tetris all the time.
Because the operation of Tetris is relatively simple, even one hand can play very slippery, constantly controlling the fall of the cubes, eliminating, and having fun.
Even Sol, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little fascinated, so he kept quietly staring at the other party's mobile phone screen, until the other party got out of the car, and Sol watched the other party leave with some reluctance.
"Cortland Street-World Trade Center Station is ......" With a prompt in the subway, Saul suddenly realized that he had already sat for three stops.
However, there was no unhappy expression on Thor's face, because of a question that had been bothering him for a long time, Thor finally found the answer.
The next day, Thor appeared on the subway with his Daqian 2, and at this time, all kinds of bad conditions in the subway were nothing to him, and even his legs that were a little stiff when he would have stood didn't feel anything.
All of Thor's attention was on the screen of his mobile phone, and although there were only a few squares on the screen, Thor still had a pleasant time on the subway.
Only this time, there was another pair of shining eyes, secretly looking at Thor and the mobile phone in his hand.
"Sir, what kind of mobile phone is yours, and you can still play games!" The person standing behind Thor couldn't help but ask after watching it for more than 20 minutes, and then added to himself, "This mobile phone must be very expensive, isn't it the Motorola mobile phone that has been very popular recently?" The one that costs $3,450 a piece? ”
"No, it doesn't have to be that expensive, this is Daqian 2, as long as one-third of the price, you can buy it for $1200!" Thor shook his head.
"Only $1200! It's so cheap! When the other party heard this, he immediately said in shock.
It's no wonder that this person is so shocked, after all, in this year, whether it is Huaxia or Mi China, the impact on mobile phones is basically stuck at the expensive luxury of 3000 US dollars.
"Really, Daqian 2, you can buy it in all New York malls, for only $1200!" Thor confirmed again.
"Great, I'm going to buy one too, so I'm also a person with a mobile phone, hahahaha!" The other party was ecstatic.
A week later, Thor was able to play Tetris with one hand, but even Snake and Super Mario Bros. with the other.
At the same time, Saul also noticed that at this time, in the carriage, it seemed that he was not the only one playing with his mobile phone, there were two or three more people in the carriage one after another, who were also playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, and the mobile phones in their hands were all Daqian 2.
The first group of bowers in New York's subway cars was born, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
What is Trend?
This is the trend of social development!
It's getting late September, and even Motorola STARTAC has been released for a month, but the atmosphere of Motorola is not as pleasant as the first week.
Although at the end of the first week, the total sales of Motorola STARTAC were lower than Daqian, everyone felt that after another month, Motorola STARTAC would be able to surpass Daqian 2 and become the mobile phone with the highest sales data in the world.
But a month has passed, all this seems to become a little distant, after the first week of dream data, the second week of Motorola STARTAC, began to go downhill, the original 370,000 sales directly cut in half, only less than 200,000 left.
This is actually a very normal data for an experienced mobile phone manufacturer, after all, this time has not yet reached the future monkey era, mobile phone sales are generally well stocked before the sale, so after the hot period of the new release, it is extremely normal for sales to be cut in half.
However, the sales of Daqian 2 are not normal, although in the second week of the release of Daqian 2, sales fell by about 50,000 units compared with the first week, but this has not reached the point of halving.
What's even more nonsense is that in the third week, the data did not fall but rose, and it actually surpassed the data of the first week, winning another peak in sales, but this peak is only temporary, the real peak is in the fifth week, the global sales of the 5th week announced by Daqian 2 reached an astonishing 328,000 units, and it has begun to approach the sales of Motorola STARTAC in the first week.
Of course, in the 6th and 7th weeks, this data finally began to decline, and it returned to the sales data of about 250,000 units per week, and according to experience, it is almost impossible for Daqian 2 to break the first-week record of Motorola STARTAC.
But in the same way, it seems impossible for Motorola STARTAC to break the total sales of Daqian 2.
After four weeks, the total sales of Motorola STARTAC finally exceeded 800,000 units, reaching 862,000 units, which is the best sales record ever released by Motorola and has broken Motorola's own history.
On the other hand, although Daqian 2 did lead the release by three weeks, their total sales have exceeded 2 million units, which is a data that makes all mobile phone manufacturers look at it.
If you told Motorola a few years ago that there is a mobile phone that can sell 2 million units in two months, Motorola is afraid that it will directly sue you for slander, after all, the global sales volume in a year at that time was only this data.
But now, in less than two months, Daqian has sold the data of the previous year, and this data is still growing, and the weekly sales volume has re-surpassed the data of about 100,000 units of Motorola STARTAC, which is more than 2 times ahead, to put it mildly, unless a miracle happens, Motorola is destined to surpass the sales of Daqian 2, which makes Motorola full of an indescribable atmosphere.
Although it has created the best sales record since the establishment of the company, the whole company is as uncomfortable as the dead mother, and such a thing is rare.
