"Which phone should I buy?" Putting away the newspaper in his hand, Saul, who was standing in the subway, was still hesitating. Saul's company's performance this year was quite good. He also received a generous bonus in the middle of the year, so Saul had 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 was definitely one of the three.
But Saul had been hesitating. He had prepared about 2000 dollars. This money was enough to buy the Daqian 2, but it was not enough to buy Nokia and Motorola.
However, Saul had another deposit in his hand. This deposit was saved by Saul over the years of his working life. It was used to buy a house down payment. Borrowing 1000 dollars from it to buy a better phone didn't seem to be a problem.
But the problem was, which one should he buy?
In fact, Saul preferred Motorola STARTAC from the bottom of his heart. The reason was very simple. Motorola STARTAC was too beautiful. It completely broke the inherent image of a phone. Even if Saul was a man, it was somewhat irresistible.
But the price of Motorola STARTAC was very low. Saul didn't want to use the finance in the purchase fund, so Saul was in a dilemma.
But soon, Saul couldn't be in a dilemma because the train he was in was already crowded with people. In order to save money, although the company's office building was in the downtown area of New York, Saul lived in the suburbs. He spent about an hour and a half commuting every day. Saul needed 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.
The time he spent on the subway was the longest. It was a full hour, and this time was the most uncomfortable for Saul.
Because Saul was taking the train during the morning rush hour, and the station where he got on the train was basically a station with no seats, Saul needed to stand in the crowded subway car filled with all kinds of strange smells for an hour.
Because he needed one hand to pull the tab, Saul couldn't even read newspapers and magazines. He had to endure this boring and uncomfortable hour every day.
Just as Saul was preparing himself for the terrible start of a new day, he suddenly realized that a new guy had his head down the entire time. Even though he had one hand on the tab, he still kept his head down, as if he was fiddling with something in his hand.
Saul curiously looked over and found that this guy was actually holding a Daqian 2 mobile phone in his hand. Because Saul had studied these three mobile phones for a long time, he recognized the model of this mobile phone at a glance.
"This is Daqian 2's game function!" Soon, Saul also found out why the other party kept his head down. It was because that person had been playing Tetris.
Because the operation of Tetris was relatively simple, he could play it very smoothly even with one hand. He was constantly controlling the fall of the blocks and eliminating them. He was having a lot of fun.
Even Saul, who was watching from the side, was mesmerized. He quietly stared at the man's phone screen until he got out of the car. Only then did Saul reluctantly send him off.
"We've arrived at Cortland Street-World Trade Center Station …" Following a series of notifications in the subway, Saul suddenly realized that he had already passed three stations.
However, Saul's face didn't have any unhappy expression because he finally found the answer to a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
The next day, Saul appeared on the subway with his Da Qian 2. At this time, the terrible environment in the subway was no longer a problem for him. Even his legs, which used to be a little stiff from standing, didn't feel anything.
Saul's full attention was on the phone screen in his hand. Although there were only blocks on the screen, Saul still had a good time on the subway.
However, this time, there was another pair of shining eyes secretly watching Saul and the phone in his hand.
"Sir, what kind of phone is this? You can actually play games!" The person standing behind Saul couldn't help but ask after looking at it for more than twenty minutes. Then he added to himself, "This phone must be very expensive. Is it that Motorola phone that's been very popular recently? The one that costs $3,450 a piece? "
"No, it doesn't have to be so expensive. This is Daqian 2. It only costs one-third of the price. You can buy it for $1,200!" Saul shook his head.
"Only $1,200! It's actually so cheap! "The other person immediately said in shock when he heard it.
It was no wonder that this person was so shocked. After all, in this day and age, whether it was in Hua Xia or the United States, the impact of mobile phones was basically stuck at $3,000 a piece.
"Really, Daqian 2. You can buy it in all the malls in New York. It only costs $1,200!" Saul confirmed again.
"Great, I want to buy one too. Then I'll be a person with a mobile phone too. Hahahaha!" The other person was ecstatic.
A week later, Saul could not only play Tetris with one hand, but he could also play Snake and Super Mario Brothers with the other hand. This kind of life is simply wonderful to the extreme.
At the same time, Saul also noticed that at this time, it seemed that he was not the only one playing with his mobile phone in the train. There were two or three more people playing with their mobile phones with their heads down. The mobile phones in their hands were all Daqian 2.
The first group of people with their heads down in New York's subway was born, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger.
What is a trend?
This is the trend of social development!
Time gradually came to late September. At this time, even Motorola STARTAC had been released for a month. However, the atmosphere in Motorola was not as happy as it was in the first week.
Although at the end of the first week, the total sales of Motorola STARTAC were lower than Daqian 2, everyone felt that Motorola STARTAC would be able to surpass Daqian 2 in another month and become the mobile phone with the highest sales figures in the world.
However, a month had passed, and all of this seemed to be a little far away. After the first week of fantastic sales figures, Motorola STARTAC in the second week began to decline. The original sales of 370,000 were directly halved, and there were less than 200,000 left.
This was actually a very normal figure for an experienced mobile phone manufacturer. After all, this was not the era of monkey shows in the future. Mobile phones were generally well stocked before they were sold. Therefore, after the hot period of new releases, it was extremely normal for sales to be halved.
However, the sales of Daqian 2 were not normal. Although the sales of Daqian 2 decreased by about 50,000 units in the second week, it was not to the point of halving.
What was even more ridiculous was that in the third week, the sales figures did not decrease but increased instead. It actually surpassed the sales figures of the first week and won another peak in sales. However, this peak was only temporary. The real peak was in the fifth week. Daqian 2's global sales for the fifth week reached an astonishing 328,000 units. It began to approach the sales figures of Motorola STARTAC in the first week.
Of course, in the sixth and seventh weeks, the sales figures began to decline, and it returned to the sales figures of about 250,000 units per week. According to experience, it was almost impossible for Daqian 2 to break Motorola STARTAC's first-week sales record.
But at the same time, it seemed impossible for Motorola STARTAC to break the total sales figures of Daqian 2.
After four weeks, Motorola STARTAC's total sales figures finally exceeded 800,000 units, reaching 862,000 units. This was the best sales record in Motorola's history. It had broken Motorola's own record.
On the other hand, although Daqian 2 was released three weeks ahead of Motorola STARTAC, their total sales figures had exceeded two million units. This was a figure that made all mobile phone manufacturers tremble.
If you had told Motorola a few years ago that there was a type of mobile phone that could sell 2 million units in two months, Motorola would have sued you for slander. After all, at that time, the global sales figures for a year were about the same.
But now, in less than two months, Daqian 2's sales figures had exceeded the previous year's sales figures, and this figure was still increasing. The weekly sales figures had surpassed Motorola STARTAC's sales figures by about 100,000 units. It was more than double the previous sales figures. To put it bluntly, unless a miracle happened, Motorola was destined to not surpass Daqian 2's sales figures. This filled Motorola with an indescribable atmosphere.
Although they had created the best sales record since the establishment of the company, everyone in the company felt as if their mother had died. This kind of situation was rare.
