"This guy is definitely jealous of me!" Kristoff cursed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face as he said, "For a mobile phone, transmitting sound is its most important function, so it is only natural that we, Motorola, try our best to optimize the quality of the call!"
"Well said!" Boss Jia immediately clapped his hands, but only Jia Yapeng was clapping. The atmosphere was a bit strange no matter how one looked at it.
But to be honest, Motorola's flip phone design was really original, and it amazed the whole world. At least most of the women in the world were shocked by this design.
Boss Jia's heart also thumped.
Of course, it was impossible for Boss Jia not to know about the flip phone itself. However, in Boss Jia's impression, the flip phone seemed to be a mobile phone that appeared in 2000. Therefore, in order to squeeze some toothpaste out of it, in Boss Jia's original plan, the flip phone should be a brand-new function that the Daqian mobile phone in 1998 should have.
But he didn't expect that the 1996 Motorola STARTAC would be the first to come up with a flip phone design and function.
It was the same in history, and it quickly set off a trend all over the world. But because mobile phones were an absolute luxury in Hua Xia at that time, no one was willing to buy a flip phone that cost tens of thousands of yuan, so Boss Jia thought that flip phones only appeared after 2000. It was a natural thing.
Boss Jia could only sigh. Even if he was a time traveler, there were still many things that he couldn't understand and a lot of knowledge that he hadn't mastered. It was impossible for a time traveler to surpass the whole world. This time, Motorola STARTAC taught Boss Jia a lesson.
"By the way, Mr. Kristof, how much is this beautiful Motorola Startac sold for? I can't wait to buy one! "Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Oh no, I was so angry with this guy that I even forgot to announce the price!" Kristof cursed in his heart. Then, he returned to the stage with the Motorola STARTAC and announced the price of the Motorola STARTAC to all the audience who were waiting to see the STARTAC.
The global price of the Motorola Startac was 2,999 USD per unit. Of course, this was only the basic price. The price would fluctuate according to different countries' customs tax rates.
Therefore, in the future, Motorola STARTAC would continue to announce different prices in different markets around the world.
A phone that cost 2,999 USD was almost equivalent to 24,000 RMB at the moment, and this was without calculating the tax rate. If this price was placed in the future market, it would undoubtedly be extremely exaggerated.
But in this era, this wasn't an unacceptable price. After all, a few years ago, the price of a mobile phone was more than 3,000 USD. It was only in recent years that the average price had dropped to about 2,500 USD. Therefore, it wasn't unacceptable for Motorola to raise the price to 3,000 USD.
Moreover, this phone was so beautiful and full of innovation. It looked like it was worth the price.
After Kristof announced the price of the mobile phone, Motorola's time was over. Then, Olila stood up. Now, it was Nokia's turn.
"Actually, when I saw the beautiful Motorola Startac for the first time, I was very shocked!" Standing on the stage, Olila smiled slightly. "I didn't expect that our two rivals would have the same idea at certain moments."
"I'm not as good as Mr. Kristof at the opening to set the atmosphere. I'll just show you our Nokia 8110 directly!" After Olila finished speaking, a Nokia staff member walked out with a crystal car.
The car didn't have a cover, and the mysterious Nokia 8110 was directly displayed on the crystal car for everyone to see.
When they saw the Nokia 8110, everyone was stunned. At first glance, the Nokia 8110 was the same as the Motorola Startac. They couldn't see the phone's keyboard.
However, the Nokia 8110's screen was on the outside. In addition, the size of the phone was longer. As for the specific details, they couldn't see them clearly.
"Everyone, the reason why I said that Nokia and Motorola had the same idea is because this is also a flip phone!" Olila gently pressed on the side of the phone, and the lower half of the Nokia 8110 popped open, revealing the keyboard inside and the lid that popped open.
This was indeed a phone with a similar idea to the Motorola Startac. Both phones were flip phones. Coincidentally, one was a top flip phone, while the other was a bottom flip phone!
"This …" Kristoff, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at everything in front of him in a daze. He had never expected that the new mobile phone that he thought could change the world would clash with Nokia at the press conference.
Everyone could imagine how complicated and thought-provoking Kristof's expression was at this moment.
The worst thing was that with the appearance of the two flip phones, the title of the world's first flip phone would no longer belong to Motorola. After all, these two phones were released at the same time at the same press conference. Judging from the different flip models of the phones, there should not be a problem of plagiarism between the two phones. It was obvious that the two companies had clashed in creativity. Both companies had made flip phones at the same time.
It was estimated that the two companies originally wanted to show off their prowess at the joint press conference of the three companies. They wanted to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat and trample on their competitors. However, when the two innovative flip phones were put together, the strong sense of drama directly reduced the appeal of the two phones.
Olila and Kristoff were speechless, but Olila still introduced the Nokia 8110 energetically. Olila's eyes were filled with helplessness, but he still introduced the Nokia 8110 energetically.
In the end, the audience realized that in terms of the performance of these two phones, they were basically tied. This was really very awkward.
As for the price, Nokia's price was $2,989, which was also a clash in price.
In fact, this clash would have been more thorough because Nokia's original price was also $2,999. However, after Motorola's price was announced, Olila temporarily lowered the price by $10. There was no reason other than to disgust Motorola!
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Boss Jia. Everyone began to wonder what kind of mobile phone Daqian would launch this time.
"Don't tell me it's another flipper!" Some people thought with great interest.
"Everyone, don't worry. Our Daqian is not launching a flip phone this time. I'm not as creative as these two seniors!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
