Life 1984

After early publicity and winning a lawsuit against Nokia, Meihua mobile phone has become the most famous in the world.

When many foreigners go to a mobile phone store for consultation, they will ask if they have Meihua mobile phones.

If more people ask, dealers around the world will take notice and ask where this phone comes from.

At this time, the second-generation Meihua mobile phone launch conference was successfully held.

Everyone still remembers the scene when Li Yunhai took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket during the launch of the first-generation mobile phone, which shocked the world.

At the second-generation mobile phone launch conference, Li Yunhai explained the new functions of Meihua mobile phones.

"In the past, the sun became slower, and so did the cars, horses, and mails. There was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Because when a mail was sent out, it took as little as a week and as much as half a month to receive it. The war continued for three months, and letters home It’s worth ten thousand dollars. It’s everyone’s wish to connect with friends and family far away.”

"In addition to making phone calls, is there a way to quietly convey what I want to say to that person without sending an email? Those unspeakable love and apologies can be sent to the missing person like letters. "

"Here, I solemnly announce that Sihai Technology Meihua mobile phone can help you!"

"Our mobile phone has a unique Chinese text message sending and receiving function in the world. You can edit what you want to say into a text message and send it to another mobile phone with the text message function anywhere in the world!"

"Wow!" was heard, and the press conference was filled with sounds of shock and admiration.

What everyone is most concerned about is, what does the second generation Meihua mobile phone look like?
Li Yunhai did not take it out from his pocket this time.

The same gimmick, used once, is enough.

This time, a hostess walked onto the stage carrying a plate.

The plate is covered with a red silk scarf, like a married girl wearing a red hijab.

Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the red silk scarf.

Miss etiquette stood in front of Li Yunhai holding a plate.

Li Yunhai slowly opened the red silk scarf.

A beautiful mobile phone, presented to the world.

Li Yunhai picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand.

The phone is no longer as long as his hand.

Everyone noticed, why does this phone have no buttons?

While everyone was talking about it, Li Yunhai held the phone and suddenly slid his thumb down.

A keyboard appears below.

This was the first time for the world to see a slider phone, and they were amazed and wondered how this magic was done.

Li Yunhai demonstrated it several times.

He kept operating with one hand, sliding the phone's keyboard up and down again.

Li Yunhai demonstrated and explained the structure of the slider phone.

A steel plate is added to the mobile phone. The steel plate generally uses a 0.1 or 0.15 steel sheet, or a 0.3 or above PC sheet. When designing, pay attention to leaving a stroke of more than 0.3 between the keycap and the steel plate. Generally, the function keys, answer and hang-up keys, and navigation keys are placed on the slider part, and the numeric keys are placed on the host part.

Two positioning posts are fixed on the surface of the fuselage that contacts the sliding cover, two positioning posts are fixed on the back of the sliding cover, and an elastic element is installed on each of the adjacent two sets of positioning posts on the fuselage and the sliding cover.

When the mobile phone opens the sliding cover, it only needs to be pushed to a certain position, and then the remaining part will automatically unfold under the action of spring elasticity, automatically exposing the remaining part of the keyboard.

After use, after pushing the display back a certain distance, the remaining distance can be automatically retracted under the action of spring elasticity.

People in the audience can't wait to try out the feel of this slider phone.

Compared with flip phones, slider phones are more beautiful and refined.

"Be different and attract attention!"

The advertising slogan of Meihua Mobile Phone 2 fully explains the meaning of the existence of this mobile phone.

This phone is available for pre-order worldwide, with no quantity limit!

When the first-generation mobile phones were released, Sihai Group strictly limited the number of dealers that could purchase them.

As a result, it was hard to find one. The price of the plum blossom generation model on the market has risen to 16800 yuan per unit, and there is still no market price.

Dealers who had experienced no machines to sell were immediately excited when they heard that this time there was no limit on quantity.

Li Yunhai used this method of suppressing and increasing to successfully stimulate the desire of dealers and agents to place orders.

Finally, the price issue that everyone is most concerned about is price.

"There will be no increase in price when the quantity is increased. The price of Plum Blossom 2 is 12999 yuan! No change!" Li Yunhai said loudly, "I will not reveal the specific purchase unit price here. Please consult our order signing staff for details!"

After the press conference, the dealers on site rushed to the ordering desk to inquire about placing orders.

There are only 1 units of Meihua 10st generation and it has been sold out.

There is no limit to the quantity of Meihua 2nd generation. I wonder how many orders I can get?

For Sun Lu and others, as long as the order quantity reaches 40 units, it will be a big deal.

Because their cooperation with Li Yunhai stopped at 40 units.

In the next year, after selling 40 mobile phones, the annual sales tasks of state-owned assets and military assets will be completed.

The excess will be owned by Li Yunhai and Lin Xiaofeng.

Sun Lu and Jin Sha were talking in a low voice.

They believe that at this press conference, they can probably receive orders for 15 mobile phones.

The domestic market is there, and there are so many foreign brands competing for it. The fact that Plum Blossom 2 was able to get an order of 15 units at the press conference is already an impressive record.

Coupled with the sales volume of the two Canton Fairs and other electronics fairs next year, the number will reach 40 units, and there will definitely be no problem.

As for the 10 million units Li Yunhai said?
It’s simply a fool’s dream!
Absolutely impossible!
Sun Lu shook his head gently and said to Jinsha with a look of pity: "Li Yunhai is finished! He put all his bets on mobile phones. Ten million mobile phones, that's one hundred billion! Even if the cost is one-third First, plus operating expenses, he will lose at least tens of billions!"

Jinsha had never settled such an account before, and was surprised when he heard this: "Isn't it true?"

Sun Lu covered her mouth with her hands and giggled: "What's impossible? Making money is like a needle picking up soil, and losing money is like water pushing sand. It took Li Yunhai eight years to make a fortune. If he was losing money, he might only need eight Month! If he expands his production capacity and produces so many mobile phones, he will not be able to sell them, and his capital chain will be broken, and he will die immediately!"

Jinsha was shocked: "Then what should we do? Our leisurely and comfortable job is all because of our cooperation with Li Yunhai. If Sihai goes bankrupt, where will we go?"

Sun Lu sighed, looked at her beautiful nails, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Are you still afraid of losing one of our jobs? At worst, you can go back to Beijing! Li Yunhai, a big-headed guy, is not afraid of persuasion and will die miserably!"

Jinsha shook his head speechlessly and said: "To be honest, I don't want Sihai Group to collapse. Sihai is engaged in scientific research and innovation, and such a company should prosper."

Sun Lu said disdainfully: "What you said is useless besides burning money? If a company wants to survive, make money first! If you can't make money, what will you use for research and development? Wait and see, Old Sun. , Sihai will not be able to survive next summer! In the summer of 1984, Li Yunhai made his fortune in Xizhou, and in the summer of 1993, he will fall into disgrace in Xizhou again!"

Jinsha was dumbfounded after hearing this.

He couldn't help but believe Sun Lu's words.

Because Li Yunhai took too many risks this time!
Don’t look at the current booming press conferences. After the mobile phones are produced, the money is only made by selling them. Once they cannot sell, even these dealers will be dragged down.

On-site signings continued to be popular.

Li Yunhai was chatting with Lin Zhi, Professor Ni and others.

Professor Ni held the mobile phone and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, like a handicraft. We just have to wait until the GSM network is installed before we can receive and receive messages."

Li Yunhai said: "It's going to be very soon. It will be completed before the end of the year! The mobile phones are still being produced overtime, and it will take some time until they are fully distributed."

Professor Ni said: "We have condensed the 26 Pinyin letters into nine keys, so that Pinyin typing can be realized, but the speed is a bit slower and not as fast as a computer."

Li Yunhai said: "We don't need to edit too much text on our mobile phones! Of course, we still need to use computers to process a large amount of text. It will become more and more advanced in the future!"

Professor Ni said: "That's right. Technology advances little by little. We can't become a big fat man in one bite."

Lin Zhi said: "How big is the domestic mobile phone market? Is there 50 units?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's hard to say, the market can be opened up."

With the thinning and thinning of mobile phones and industrial mass production, the cost will be greatly reduced.

By around 2000, low-end machines worth a thousand yuan were introduced to the market, and that was when the market really exploded.

Before this, how many mobile phones were there in China?
Li Yunhai had no way of knowing.

But he remembered one statistic: Nokia 1011 indeed sold more than 2000 million units!
This was also the beginning of Nokia's world dominance!
Motorola has gone downhill since then. In the next twenty years, Nokia will dominate the world.

Until the emergence of smartphones, Nokia was stuck in its mobile phone business, and this business was finally eliminated. However, Nokia is a big business, and they don't just rely on mobile phones to make a living. Their income from the communications business is enough for this company to continue to stand out among the others.

Sihai Group is also undergoing diversified development.

Li Yunhai deeply understands that no industry can last forever.

Computers are selling well now, but they will go downhill in the future.

The office equipment market will also be saturated.

In the next few decades, mobile phones will become more and more intelligent and gradually replace many functions of computers. As for how many years will mobile phones be popular?
This is beyond Li Yunhai's concern.

Human life is limited, why spend your life making money?
He plans to retire when he earns enough, live a free and happy life, and leave the future world to the young people who will come after him to explore.

Lin Zhi said: "If the domestic market is not big, how can we sell 10 million mobile phones?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I don't know either! Set a goal and work hard to achieve it. Leave the rest to luck!"

Lin Zhi exclaimed: "Then you are taking a risk!"

Li Yunhai said: "From the first day I opened the company, I have been taking risks. There are risks in starting a business, and the risks are still very high."

Shen Xiulan and Li Yunfang led the financial staff, who were busy signing orders, collecting deposits, and making statistics.

Shi Wentao walked over and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, congratulations! This phone will definitely sell well!"

Li Yunhai said: "Thank you Mr. Shi for your kind words! I have high hopes for Taiwan. I hope you can help us sell more mobile phones."

Shi Wentao said: "No problem, Plum Blossom 1, we bought 5000 units, you only gave me so much! In less than a month, they were all sold out! This time I ordered 5 units!"

Li Yunhai said: "You are still too conservative. 5 units are probably only enough for you to sell them for a month."

Shi Wentao laughed and said: "Then I will get rich!"

Shi Wenyin smiled sweetly and said: "If we follow Mr. Li, we will definitely make a fortune."

Li Yunhai said: "Sister Shi, if you get rich, you have to treat me to dinner and drinks."

Shi Wenyin said: "Okay!"

Li Yunhai said: "We still need to find a mobile phone OEM. Do you have any ideas?"

The Shi family siblings looked at each other.

Shi Wenyin said: "Mr. Li, do you want us to open a foundry?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, in fact, I believe in your management ability. Let's do this, if this phone becomes popular and you open it again, I can't cheat you."

Shi Wenyin pursed her lips and smiled: "You seem to have never tricked us. It's just that our abilities are limited. Otherwise, we will definitely become shareholders of Meihua Mobile."

Li Yunhai said: "We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

At noon, Li Yunhai invited everyone to have a meal.

The scene was still busy, and it didn't end until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Shen Xiulan compiled the data and reported to Li Yunhai.

"Tell me directly, how many orders have you received?" Li Yunhai asked.

"What do you think?" Shen Xiulan smiled.

"I'm too lazy to guess." Li Yunhai said, "Just tell me!"

"50 units!" Shen Xiulan smiled happily, "This is just a domestic order."

Li Yunhai said: "Ling Zhi was really right. She said there were 50 units in China, and it turned out that there were indeed 50 units."

Shen Xiulan said: "Those dealers said that they will come to replenish the goods after they are sold out. They have limited funds and do not dare to buy too much."

Li Yunhai nodded and said: "That's the truth. My expectation is that 200 million mobile phones can be sold domestically and more than 800 million mobile phones can be sold internationally. Xiulan, at the CES electronics show in January, you and I Let’s go together? If the child is old, just leave it at home.”

Shen Xiulan said: "I am used to taking care of my children at home, but if you need me to work, of course I will agree."

Li Yunhai said: "Anyway, we only have a few days. Go!"

"Okay. I'll listen to you." Shen Xiulan's voice became gentle.

After the order quantity came out at the press conference, Sun Lu was extremely shocked.

She couldn't believe that these domestic dealers could actually order 50 units!

In such a big foreign market, even if only 50 units are sold, the total sales will be 100 million units!
However, the state-owned enterprise has already signed a contract with Li Yunhai for 40 units.

No matter how much you sell or how much you earn, it has nothing to do with them.

After the new mobile phone was released, Li Yunhai called several foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair and explained the situation to them. At the same time, he faxed the information and pictures of the new mobile phone and asked them to decide whether to replace the order with Meihua 2.

If they insist on plum blossom 1, Li Yunhai will also ship the goods within the specified time after receiving the payment.

Finally, all foreign businessmen responded that they liked the sliding design of Meihua 2.

At this point, Meihua 1st generation mobile phone production has officially stopped, and all factories are operating at full capacity to produce Meihua 2nd generation mobile phones.

After the press conference, global mainstream media rushed to report on it, praising Meihua mobile phone for being far ahead of its peers.

On the 1011th, Nokia released the new phone .

There is nothing new about the candy bar, and the call and English text messaging functions are nothing new.

With Meihua 2 mobile phone in front, Nokia's press conference seemed to be overshadowed.

Global dealers who are still waiting and watching have switched to Meihua mobile phones one after another!
Sihai Technology’s office was flooded with calls from all over the world!

Orders are flying to Xizhou like snowflakes.

50 mobile phones can be ordered domestically!

With so many developed countries around the world, order volume must have doubled.

Within three days, the international order volume of Plum Blossom 2 reached an astonishing 300 million units!

After the news came out, Sun Lu and others were stunned.

If this trend continues, it is entirely possible that the sales of Plum Blossom 2 will reach the tens of millions units estimated by Li Yunhai!

As for how many orders Nokia has received, Li Yunhai doesn't care at all.

When Nokia released the 1011, it estimated sales of 40, so let them get their wish!
Li Yun Hai took the lead in everything and arranged the entire business competition in an orderly and interlocking manner.

How could Nokia have imagined that the tens of millions of dollars of the market that originally belonged to them had been quietly snatched away by Li Yunhai!
The first batch of Meihua mobile phones rolled off the production line and were shipped to all parts of the country.

Because these mobile phones use 2G patented technology, Sihai Group has completely avoided Nokia's related patents.

Li Yunhai has achieved strategic cooperation with Ericsson and Motorola, and obtained their production licenses or import licenses for the missing parts.

Nokia's appeal continues.

Meihua mobile phones were not famous before, but they still had to file a lawsuit.

Now that Meihua mobile phones have caught up from behind and grabbed market share, they want to put it to death.

Li Yunhai was eager to continue fighting to keep the news hot.

Compared with the sky-high advertising costs, the cost of litigation is negligible.

Li Yunhai even launched a counter-suit, claiming that Nokia's SMS sending and receiving function was a plagiarism of Meihua mobile phones.

Of course I didn't plagiarize.

But litigation is still needed!

It doesn't matter what the outcome is.

As long as some people like to watch two tigers fighting.

The lawsuit between the two companies seems to be going on and on.

It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

In December, Xizhou took the lead in building a GSM network in the country, covering the entire city.

GSM construction in other large and medium-sized cities is also in full swing.

By the second half of next year, 2G networks will cover large and medium-sized cities across the country.

After this good news came out, sales of Meihua 2nd generation mobile phones skyrocketed.

截止1993年1月1日止，梅花2一共接到了580万台的订单！
Li Yunhai is in high spirits. The sales volume of tens of millions of mobile phones he has set is completely possible to achieve!
It is even possible to break through 10 million units and move towards 20 million units!

When Li Yunhai was preparing for the 1993 CES show, another good news came.

Professor Ni was successfully elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences!

He deserves it and deserves it!

When the good news came, everyone in the Sihai Group was delighted.

Li Yunhai announced that the company would take a half-day holiday and rent a restaurant to celebrate Professor Ni! (End of chapter)
