The person in charge of the R&D department was very sad. He looked at Kristoff, whose face was full of money, and thought for a moment before whispering, "Our R&D department found a small memory chip that can be used to make TF cards. It's actually very suitable for mobile phones. A 16MB TF card can be bought for only 10 dollars."
“16mb！ Only 10 dollars! " Kristoff's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing until now? I'll send someone to buy it right away. We'll buy as much as you want! "
"President, don't worry. I've already sent a list to the purchasing department. The purchasing department has already gone to purchase samples. By the way, the people they sent out seemed to have left this morning. Maybe in a few days, we'll be able to get a sample of the TF card and start testing it!" The person in charge of the R&D department said with a smile.
"Very good!" Kristoff nodded vigorously. Just as he was about to praise Lin Li, he suddenly recalled an employee from the purchasing department who was about to set off this morning. His entire body stiffened slightly, and he asked, "Where are the people from the purchasing department going to purchase?" "Oh, right.
"They went to Hua Xia!" The person in charge of the R&D department said, "The TF card is Hua Xia's technology, and it's also completely produced by Hua Xia. So, the purchasing department should have gone to Hua Xia to purchase."
"And I heard from my colleagues in the purchasing department that they also found a lot of very cheap and high-quality mobile phone parts in Hua Xia. I think they'll purchase them together!"
"We'll talk about these things when they're back!" Kristoff said, and then changed the topic. "As for games, does your R&D department have any solutions?"
"I'm afraid our R&D department can't do this!" The person in charge said with a helpless expression, "President, we're all in the hardware business. Occasionally, we'll write mobile phone operating systems. When it comes to games, none of us are good at it! So, I think it's better for the company to import some games from outside. This is much more reliable than developing it ourselves! "
"Okay, keep up the good work!" Kristoff nodded and then left the R&D department. The person in charge was greatly relieved. He thought he would be scolded today, but the whole process was quite smooth. He didn't even get scolded!
"When the TF card arrives, I'll make the phone book and blacklist function as fast as I can. The president will be very satisfied!" The responsible person pondered in his heart, but after waiting for a month, he still hadn't seen the TF cards purchased.
He specifically went to the purchasing department to inquire. In the end, the purchasing department said that the person in charge of purchasing in China had already resigned. The purchasing department sent a second purchase request to the headquarters, but there was no reply from the headquarters. They were also very helpless as they kept dragging on like this.

The next Monday, Christofer got the news that Tim Cook had resigned.
At this moment, Christopher knew that he might have vented his anger on Tim Cook, but he couldn't put down his pride for a mere Tim Cook.
It wasn't a big deal to resign, he could just find someone else to replace him. Christofer also sent someone to investigate the TF card. After learning that it was a memory chip introduced by the Daqian, Christofer directly rejected the purchase request from the purchasing department.
What a joke! How could Motorola purchase Daqian products? It was simply a disgrace to give money to the enemy!
Soon, Christofer put the matter of Tim Cook and the TF card aside and began to fully deploy the war with the Daqian.
That's right, Christofer described it as such in the internal mobilization meeting. Just by listening to the words, one could smell the tragic smell.
There was no other way, Motorola was really desperate!
Motorola didn't expect that their and Nokia's publicity for this three-party joint conference would instead benefit the Daqian.
The reason was very simple, who asked the Daqian to sell it early!
Because of the publicity, customers were very interested in these three mobile phones. In addition, the world economic situation in 1996 was quite good. Except for the Fusangpeople who began to fall into the abyss of economic collapse, people all over the world were living quite well.
The GDP of the United States was rising rapidly, and Southeast Asia was also thriving under the lead of the four Asian dragons. Even a country like Thailand created a miracle of 8.8% GDP growth.
In short, except for the Fusang, the world's economic situation was very good. Everyone began to have money in their pockets, and a mobile phone worth more than 3,000 USD was no longer a problem.
But the problem was, the most basic thing was that no matter how popular the conference was, you had to have something to sell!
And the popularity of this event generally only lasted for about a week. After a week, the popularity would gradually decline. After a month, who would still remember this event?
So, when these three mobile phones were sold first, they could quickly attract the attention of the audience.
Unfortunately, in this regard, Motorola and Nokia were left behind by the Daqian. This was because of the inevitable problems of large companies, and the lack of control of the company. Even if Christofer and Olila realized this, there was nothing they could do. They could only watch as the Daqian sold the Daqian 2 first. The customers who were affected by the popularity could only look at the Daqian 2 when they couldn't buy the other two mobile phones.
In the end, they couldn't bear to see it.
And this time, the Daqian 2 was not only released in the United States. The Daqian 2 was sold in the United States, Hua Xia, Southeast Asia, and so on. Except for Europe, all countries and regions were sold at the same time.
So, a week after the Daqian 2 was released, the general manager of the United States of Daqian Mobile told the reporter in an interview with the New York Times proudly that in just one week, the Daqian 2 mobile phone had reached an astonishing figure of 228,000 mobile phones sold worldwide, setting an unprecedented sales record in the mobile phone industry.
Yes, 228,000 mobile phones sold in a week, this was indeed an unprecedented record.
It was not until 1990 that the global mobile phone sales exceeded 200,000 units.
Now, in just one week, the Daqian 2 sold 228,000 mobile phones. This figure was really shocking.
