Chapter 855 Detour (7000 words)
The entire phone is much smaller than the previous one. As the beauty walks, the entire phone dangles in front of her chest.

The cell phone rang, and the beautiful woman picked up the phone and opened it directly.

The inside of the flip phone is silver, and at this time the host spoke again.

"The second generation of Panda phones supports a phone book function, which can record the other party's phone number and name. When you want to make a call in the future, you can just look up the other party's information in the phone book and talk directly. You don't have to carry a thick phone book anymore. It can support up to 200 entries."

"The second generation of the Panda phone also has polyphonic ringtones!"

"The communication quality of the Panda II phone is better!"

“The first phone came in three colors: black, white, and silver.”

"The second phone comes in blue, red, orange, and white."

"We have provided the second generation of Panda phones for everyone to experience."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the staff lifted the cover on the side of the hall.

There are hundreds of mobile phones on the shelves, two models of mobile phones in various colors, which appear even more dazzling under the light.

Everyone present put down what they were holding, applauded, and reached for their phones.

Each mobile phone has a tag with the phone number on it.

In addition, mobile phones are basically English versions, because those who can participate in the exchange meeting here must understand English.

"beautiful!"

“It’s more compact than the previous generation.”

"Yes!"

“The phone book feature is great!”

"This is probably the most fatal blow to some junk phones."

"This is the phone that successful people should hold in their hands."

"To be honest, the previous generation of mobile phones was still a bit heavy."

"It's pretty good, considering how big Motorola's previous generation of products was."

"Shall we send a text message and see?"

"Yeah!" These people started playing with the phones after getting them.

And there is also a small instruction manual.

Many people began to write text messages and send them to each other.

“The upgraded communications system is capable of caller ID.”

"If an acquaintance calls you, you can see the acquaintance's name!" the host said again.

Everyone started playing with them, and some ladies picked up the small flip phones.

The host then introduced: "We have conducted 10 opening and closing experiments on flip phones."

"Of course, please trust our good after-sales service."

"These two phones will be available for sale on Christmas, but the communication systems need to be upgraded before then."

"After the communication system is upgraded, it is compatible with both first-generation and second-generation Panda phones. Calls between first-generation and second-generation Panda phones will not be affected!"

"It's just that the first generation of Panda phones can't receive text messages."

When you open the flip phone, you will see that the screen inside is blue, no longer the monotonous color of the phone next to it.

Blue gives people a more advanced feeling.

"The Panda II mobile phone is truly a groundbreaking product."

"With the SMS function, many things no longer require phone calls."

“I wonder how much this phone costs?”

The host heard this and responded: "The bar-type Panda 3888nd generation phone is $4988, and the flip phone is $. These are the unified retail prices around the world."

The dealers present all knew that there was a percentage between the factory price and the retail price. When they heard the retail price, they had a rough idea of ​​the factory price.

The reason why the host announces the retail price is to allow the sellers present to measure whether this price is competitive in the region and whether there is a market for it.

"I feel like $3888 is not unacceptable to successful people."

"A simple text messaging function and good call quality are nothing to successful people."

Dealers began to discuss that the first batch of customers for these mobile phones would definitely be high-income people.

As for the flip phone, at $4988, it is for high-end consumers.

And you can tell at a glance that these styles and colors are definitely designed for ladies.

Women's money is one of the easiest kinds of money to make in the world.

The exchange meeting was very successful, and the mobile phones in the hands of the dealers present were eventually given to these people.

The next day, Panda Mobile held a press conference and announced that global wireless communications had entered the digital communications era.

Both phones will be released on Christmas Day.

At the same time as Panda Mobile held a press conference, the official website of Panda Mobile in Europe also updated the performance, size and weight of the two phones.

It quickly attracted a large number of onlookers, and as a result, the official website of Panda Mobile almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Panda Mobile’s official website temporarily installed a server.

The second generation Panda mobile phone is a groundbreaking digital communication phone.

Communications operators around the world have signed agreements with FiberHome Technologies to upgrade their existing communications systems.

In addition, Panda Mobile announced that it has received orders for 50 Panda nd generation mobile phones, and stated that it will not accept new orders for the time being. It will notify you when it will accept new orders.

Liu Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the news. The exchange meeting for the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone was on the one hand to let everyone see the phone, and on the other hand to receive orders.

50 Panda nd generation mobile phones, this is not a small number.

In fact, according to the production capacity of the second-generation Panda mobile phone, another 50 units can be produced.

However, it is better to go slow with such an expensive phone at the beginning.

You have to know that a car now costs only a few thousand dollars, 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.

So we’ll try out the waters with 50 units first.

"After returning with the promotional materials, the dealers have already started accepting pre-orders!" Ni Nan said.

"This is a routine operation. After all, an order of 50 units is not a small number. Based on the average shipping price of US$3500, it is more than a billion US dollars."

"No one wants to apply to purchase the technical patents of the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone?" Liu Hai asked again.

"A number of dealers have obtained some information, but this possibility is very small."

“Because it requires a huge investment!”

"Ask Motorola if they are interested in building a factory in Bald Eagle, or if they cooperate with America Communications, we can charge less in patent fees." Liu Hai is ready to strangle other friendly competitors.

Because Panda mobile phones are invincible in themselves, because our costs and prices are lower than those of all foreign companies that have obtained authorization.

If the companies that have obtained the license want to do something strange, then Panda Mobile can simply lower the price, and the other party will be in an unsolvable situation.

The global retail price of US$3888 takes into account licensing the patent to other companies for production in other countries, thus giving these people a chance to make profits.

Currently, only Bald Eagle’s domestic distributors in the world can obtain this authorization.

The Panda Computer Industrial Park in Gallic Europe is able to manufacture this type of mobile phone, and obviously no other company will enter this industry.

"Motorola doesn't want to build a factory, but they want to OEM the second-generation mobile phone. The orders they are placing now are mainly for small notebooks and sales such as Lijiapo."

"Bald Eagle needs to upgrade its signal base station. I wonder if the government will support it!"

"If the government does not support it, the Panda II mobile phone will not 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 America Communications." Ni Nan explained.

Liu Hai nodded and said that Panda Mobile would definitely produce OEM mobile phones, such as new Motorola digital communication mobile phones, and the appearance could also be designed individually.

Even Motorola can design the appearance itself.

Panda phones are mostly OEM products from Bald Eagle.

"The first generation of Panda computers are now entering the Bald Eagle country on a large scale."

"Someone has developed a converter for the network between Panda Computer and Bald Eagle's home!"

"Now many people are smuggling computers and related computer accessories from Europe to Bald Eagle."

"The price of the first generation of Panda computers is much cheaper than those released 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 great people in this world.

As long as there is enough interest, someone will develop these converters, Internet converters, interface converters, etc.

No one smuggled the first generation of Panda computers before because the profit was not much, but now that the second generation of Panda computers has come out, the price of the first generation of Panda computers has plummeted.

The price of computers in Bald Eagle's country is still very strong, which makes many people have other ideas.

In fact, smuggling is a tradition in Bald Eagle. Any smugglers who smuggle anything that is banned in the country will become rich.

The Bald Eagle prohibition gave rise to a large number of businessmen specializing in smuggling liquor.

I won’t talk about the Bald Eagle’s anti-drug work, but some departments are personally involved in smuggling.

What many people don’t know is that drug abuse is rampant within the Bald Eagle’s army.

But this is not a big deal, because drug use in the military is nothing new.

Whether it was World War I or World War II, whether it was the Allied Forces or others, soldiers would be given some drugs. Some drugs could keep soldiers awake for many days and keep them mentally excited, because this was the only way to persist in the war.

The so-called war trauma syndrome in bald eagles is actually mostly related to these drugs.

"How is the Panda Computer Industrial Park in Gallicus going?"

"We are about to start trial production. Gallic Chicken attaches great importance to this industrial park and has provided full support in terms of 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 on the evening news that the orders for the second-generation Panda mobile phones had exceeded 50 units.

An order of 50 units can drive so many upstream and downstream industrial chains.

And the shipment volume of the first generation of Panda phones has not decreased at all, because the price of the first generation of Panda phones is cheaper, so there are more potential users.

Of course, there are still a group of people who are still waiting and watching for the second generation of Panda mobile phone!

"This phone is much more convenient than the previous ones." The junior sister took out a blue Panda second-generation phone.

"In the future, mobile phones will have more and more functions. Everything that can be done on computers can also be done on mobile phones." Liu Hai said.

“Will mobile phones be able to make reports in the future?”

"I can make reports and write papers. Of course, some things are better done with computers!" Liu Hai nodded.

The second generation of Panda mobile phones was released simultaneously around the world on Christmas Day, so Kyoto is now also upgrading the technology of its communication base stations.

"The exports brought by the second-generation Panda mobile phones are probably quite a lot," the junior sister asked again.

"Right now we're mainly focusing on equipment for upgrading communication system technology. We've already 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 communication system technology has been upgraded, and more export data is generated in this area.

When dealers from all over the country saw the data of 50 units, they felt more confident and upgraded their communication systems as soon as they returned.

While this news was being reported in China, it was also being reported in Europe.

Especially the various performance parameters of the Panda 2nd generation mobile phone and the benefits of data communication.

On the one hand, European countries now have a sense of superiority, especially compared with some nouveau riche.

Another thing is that mobile phone dealers take advantage of this opportunity to market their mobile phones.

So after seeing the news media reports, many people who could afford it called to make reservations.

Not long after, I was told that they were no longer accepting reservations because there were too many people booked.

The more this happens, the more people who failed to reserve a phone feel they have lost out.

In addition, the media is bragging about the digital communications era and the epoch-making mobile phones.

So those who didn't reserve the phone felt that they had missed a high-tech product. Although the prices of both phones are very high, 3888 and 4988 US dollars.

Compared to the liveliness of the 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 related news.

At the American Communications Corporation, the atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat depressing.

“These damn politicians!”

"These are just maggots who know how to collect money!"

"They actually refused to approve the upgrade of our communication system."

Americas Communications submitted an application to the Bald Eagle government to upgrade its communications system, but it was rejected.

The reason for the rejection is simple. There is no relevant standard in China for the Panda II digital communication mobile phone.

In other words, the bald eagle does not currently recognize the relevant standards of the Panda 2nd generation digital communication phone.

These shareholders of America Communications saw their opportunity to make a fortune, and then it was intercepted.

"I think we should find a breakthrough!"

"I also think we should find a breakthrough!" The shareholders of America Communications Corporation obviously did not want to give up this opportunity.

The shareholders of America Communications Corporation certainly know that it is unrealistic to rely on their own company to develop new communication standards.

I don’t know how much manpower and resources FiberHome Technologies invested in developing this communication standard.

Let’s not talk about the money first, the relevant personnel, and then the standard related equipment that has been 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 a successful patent is likely to be the result of many experiments.

In many cases, it is impossible to measure the investment in technological R&D with a specific number.

Because you never know which direction this technology is most correct.

"Nokia is also developing a new generation of digital communication standards, but they seem to be adopting new standards." said a shareholder.

"These Nordic pirates came to our country to rob our wealth."

“I think Texas is a great place to break through!”

“I also think Texas is a good place to start.”

The reason why the shareholders present said that Texas is a good breakthrough point is because of 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 borders.

Moreover, Texas joined the Bald Eagle on an equal footing. When Texas joined the Bald Eagle, Texas' external propaganda was that the Bald Eagle had joined Texas.

Texas has the right to withdraw the Bald Eagle at any time, which is something other Bald Eagle 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 be a breakthrough.

Because for Texas, neither Panda nor Nokia phones have any factories in the state.

Then it doesn’t matter which standard you use, and the new generation of digital communication standards for bald eagles has not yet been developed.

"I feel like the power of our Panda 2 is still a little weak."

"Just bring the Panda computer with you. If Texas allows the sale of Panda computers, this will be easy."

“Whether the sale is allowed or not, we can find someone to push for this motion, or even let the court decide.”

"If Panda computers are legal in Texas, then our Panda 2nd generation phones will face much less resistance."

"Then do it!"

"I think it is necessary to bring Motorola into the picture. Motorola has a lot of influence."

"But they will share our market!"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"What do you think of the analysis of these experts on TV now?"

An expert from the Bald Eagle said on TV that the CDMA digital communication standard of the Panda II mobile phone is not as good as the GPRS that companies such as Nokia are developing.

"Whether GPRS technology is good or not has nothing to do with us."

"Companies like Nokia won't license this technology to us."

“Technology that doesn’t make money for us is not excellent, no matter how good it is.”

"That is quite true."

“Then we’ll find someone in Texas to push this matter forward.”

After private discussions between American Communications Corporation and Motorola.

Soon, a Texas congressman supported Panda computers to enter Texas because Panda computers were cheaper and more cost-effective.

Then some Texas lawmakers came out to express their support for this proposal, unless IBM and Apple Computer were willing to move their headquarters to Texas.

Some Texas lawmakers also expressed their opposition because Texas Instruments is a supplier of many products to these two companies.

However, some Texas lawmakers have expressed the possibility of introducing Panda Computer's technology license.

Soon many people stood up to protest against the low performance and high prices of IBM and Apple computers.

Many people even say that IBM and Apple computers have a monopoly on the market.

Bald Eagle Many people in China don’t know why such a thing happened?

This idea instantly gained support from many people across the country regarding the high prices and low performance of IBM and Apple computers.

IBM and Apple said that it is safer to use our computers, after all, we are the bald eagle's own computers.

Someone soon refuted it, saying that this was a lie from you capitalists and you just wanted to make more money.

For a while, this matter caused an uproar in Texas and in Bald Eagle country!

Some people support Panda Computer's entry, while some people oppose it.

The government department of Bald Eagle also stated that we, Bald Eagle, do not recognize the standards of Panda computers, so we advise everyone not to use Panda computers purchased privately because this may involve breaking the law.

However, many Texas lawmakers have expressed their support for Panda Computer Texas.

Even neighboring Mexico is saying that Panda computers are more suitable for us in Mexico.

Of course, there are also many people who oppose this voice.

These Texas lawmakers did not receive much support at home, but instead received support from European countries.

Many lawmakers from countries such as the U.S. and the Gallic Rooster expressed their support for the proposal of the Texas lawmaker, believing that this is the symbol of freedom.

This incident quickly caused a sensation internationally.

Liu Hai was also a little confused about this matter, but he thought these politicians were opposing just for the sake of opposing.

Anyway, there is nothing that politicians like the Bald Eagle Government cannot do.

The opposition in the West can find any reason to oppose some of the things that are already in place.

Moreover, when a new leader of the Bald Eagle takes office, the first thing he does is to stop certain things that the predecessor did.

This is actually easy to understand, as the previous president gave many things to people with connections to him.

Once the new one comes in, it will definitely be impossible to give the money to the previous one’s relatives to make money.

"Motorola wants technical licensing for Panda computers?" However, when Liu Hai heard that Motorola wanted to obtain technical licensing for Panda second-generation computers, he knew that this matter might not be simple.

"It's just a cooperation intention." Ni Nan said.

"Did Motorola really establish connections in Texas?"

"That shouldn't be possible. There is a Texas Instruments in Texas!" Liu Hai thought to himself that it shouldn't be possible.

But if it's just a cooperation intention, there's nothing wrong with it.

"The letter of intent for cooperation can be signed!" Liu Hai made the decision directly.

FiberHome Technologies soon reached a cooperation intention with Motorola.

Then Motorola quickly spoke out about this matter.

As long as Texas passes the bill for Panda Computer to enter Texas, Motorola will immediately build a factory in Texas.

Even the people in Bald Eagle country are a little confused. What does Motorola want to do with this market in Texas?
However, the proposal was not passed by the Texas Legislature.

Motorola then took the matter to court.

If the Texas court rules that Panda computers can be sold, then Panda computers can still be sold in Texas.

Texas did not pass the bill, but Mexico did, which allowed it to join the international Internet and allow Panda computers to be sold domestically.

You should know that Mexico did not recognize the international Internet before under pressure from the Bald Eagle.

The Taurus, the Gallic Rooster, many European countries and countries around the world welcomed this.

The bald eagle was angry, you little black guy, you go back on your word.

The reason why Mexico agreed was actually due to the efforts of the smugglers behind the scenes.

Because of the smuggling of various Panda computer accessories, most of them enter Bald Eagle from Mexico.

In addition, these people in Mexico are also jealous of the Internet economy. Without saying too much, just the network operators earn a lot of money every year.

Civilian Internet has yet to be widely used in the Bald Eagle's home country, let alone in Mexico.

At the end of October 1989, the Texas court did not support the appeal filed by Motorola.

This news has aroused opposition from many people, who believe that it is a manifestation of unfreedom and monopoly.

Then in November 1989, another Texas lawmaker stood up and said that Texas also wanted to enter the digital communications era and allow current wireless network operators to upgrade.

He said Texas should be at the forefront of the world instead of lagging behind like other states.

This proposal received support from many people, and even many people who originally supported other congressmen expressed their support for this person.

The other members of parliament were a little panicked when they heard the news and also expressed their support for the motion.

At the end of November 1989, Texas passed a bill to upgrade existing wireless communications, but required mobile operators to be compatible with mobile communication standards developed by local companies in Bald Eagle.

This proposal seems reasonable, but there is no digital mobile communication standard in the 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 a conspiracy between America Communications Corporation and Motorola.

After Texas passed this bill, Americas Communications and Motorola requested to order 10 Panda nd generation mobile phones, of course, they would be OEM products.

And signed a cooperation intention with FiberHome Technologies to upgrade Dezhou mobile communications.

Of course Panda Mobile will accept this order.

"Tsk tsk, as long as there is enough interest, there is nothing these guys can't do." Liu Hai now realized that Panda Computer was just a cover, and the real driving force behind it was America Communications and Motorola.

Regarding the passage of this bill by the Texas Legislature, media such as Niu Niu and Gallican have praised the Texas Legislature, believing that this is true freedom and a reflection of the will of the citizens.

However, the Bald Eagle government expressed strong opposition to the incident.

However, Texas said that we have required dealers to be compatible with all data communication standards.

But just like that, the Bald Eagle government said that this is absolutely not possible.

However, this statement by the Bald Eagle made the international community look at the Bald Eagle government in a different light!
The Gallic media even claimed that Bald Eagle's move was a manifestation of monopoly, and that Bald Eagle's politicians had become spokesmen for certain capitalists.

And what are the people of Texas like? You northerners want to control us in the south?
However, given Texas' unique political status, the Bald Eagle government's opposition would be of no use.

Americas Communications and Motorola quickly upgraded Texas' mobile communications equipment and launched their own brand of mobile phones, Motorola Mobile and Yellowstone Mobile.

The brand that Americas Communications Corporation uses is Huangshi.

Both companies have two products, a candy bar and a flip phone.

The market prices of the same products of the two companies are the same.
