In such a situation, all the mobile phone manufacturers couldn't think of any reason to stop the Daqian 5 from selling like hotcakes.
Daqian 5's capabilities were too powerful. A mobile phone with a camera … Oh my God, what kind of genius could come up with this idea?
A mobile phone with a high-definition color screen and a professional camera was undoubtedly extremely lethal to men and women who had never seen these before!!
It turned out that these professionals were right. Countless young men and women were tormented by their girlfriends' longing eyes after seeing this advertisement.
In fact, many men couldn't resist such a mobile phone. For men, cameras and camcorders were poison for three generations. Now that they were paired with mobile phones, it was simply fatal.
And Daqian didn't only have one advertisement for couples. According to the Daqian report later, Daqian released a total of 108 different advertisements around the world.
The core theme of these advertisements was the same, that was to use a camera to record life, but the themes were different. There were couples, husband and wife, father and son, work, adventure, etc. There were a total of 12 different themes.
Moreover, Daqian was very careful to use actors with different skin colors and different languages according to the market where the advertisements were released. In the end, 108 different advertisements were created.
Then these 108 advertisements were released in the market at the same time, so the impact was huge.
Later, someone calculated that Daqian 5's advertisements were the fiercest since the birth of mobile phones. No mobile phone manufacturer in the world could compare. The advertising costs alone were more than 500 million US dollars.
This meant that, assuming a profit of 200 US dollars per mobile phone, Daqian had to sell more than 2.5 million Daqian 5 to earn back all the advertising costs.
This didn't include the research and development costs of the mobile phone and a series of other costs.
Then the question was, could Daqian 5 mobile phones sell 2.5 million units around the world?
The answer to this question was actually needless to say, the answer was, of course, impossible.
After all, Boss Jia directly said at the beginning of the press conference that there were only 1 million units in stock after half a year. It would be a miracle if they could sell 2.5 million units.

"Darling, I love you the most!" October 20, 1999 was the day when the Daqian 5 mobile phone was launched worldwide. A total of 28 countries in the world would sell the Daqian 5 mobile phone at the same time.
Anna, who was obsessed with this phone, immediately pulled her boyfriend into the car and rushed to a steam game store in Seattle.
This was the closest store to Anna that sold Daqian 5 mobile phones.
On October 11th, when Anna saw the Daqian 5 mobile phone advertisement for the first time, she was completely fascinated by this mobile phone. Especially the photo of the two people kissing through two mobile phones, Anna was so fascinated that her eyes sparkled.
Of course, Anna didn't have the money to buy a phone that cost 999 USD, so she could only rely on her boyfriend who was already working to earn money. Moreover, Anna knew that her boyfriend had a huge sum of 5000 USD!
This was the savings that her boyfriend had earned after working for three years. From this, it could be seen that Anna's boyfriend was an outlier in the United States.
As a citizen of the United States, he actually knew how to save money and still had savings. It was simply amazing!!
Anna thought that it would take a lot of effort to persuade her boyfriend to agree to her request, but Anna never expected that her boyfriend would agree as soon as she asked.
"But there is a condition!" Her boyfriend said.
"I will agree to any condition!" Anna threw caution to the wind. At most, she would work for him at night.
"That is, when you don't use this phone, I will use it!" Her boyfriend said with a smile, with a strange smile on his face.
Anna thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big deal. She couldn't play with her phone all the time, so she agreed.
Of course, Anna would regret this in the future.
On the morning of October 20th, Anna was almost pulled up by her boyfriend. Anna was a firm believer in staying in bed. Generally, she wouldn't get up before 10 o 'clock.
As a result, she was pulled up by her boyfriend at 8 o 'clock in the morning. The reason was, of course, to line up to buy a mobile phone.
"I won't get up!" Anna refused while lying on the bed.
"The person who wants to buy a mobile phone is you. If you are late, the Daqian 5 may be gone!" Her boyfriend said helplessly.
"Che, it's just a mobile phone. When can't you buy a mobile phone in the mall? I don't believe that there is a mobile phone in the world that people want to buy!" Anna said with a yawn. As a result, the two of them dragged it out until 9 o 'clock.
Then, when they arrived at the entrance of the steam game store, they were completely dumbfounded.
Because at this moment, at the entrance of this steam game store in Seattle, the crowd couldn't be described as dense. It had become a huge gluttonous snake!
The staff of the steam game store seemed to have realized in advance that the launch of the Daqian 5 would bring a hot scene, so these guys actually prepared a queue in advance. They forcibly divided the pedestrian walkway at the entrance of the steam game store into a winding queue. It looked like a gluttonous snake that had stretched to the extreme in the game.
But even if the staff of the steam game store had prepared the queue in advance, when Anna and the others arrived, the crowd queuing to buy the Daqian 5 had exceeded the control range of the queue. Those who exceeded the queue could only continue to extend their queue to a position hundreds of meters away under the command of some on-site staff.
When Anna and her boyfriend arrived at the end of the queue, both of them were already tired and panting.
"It's all your fault. I told you to get up early, but you insisted on staying in bed! If we can't buy it, we have to wait until the second batch of sales at Christmas! "The boyfriend said with a bitter face.
Strange, who wants to buy a mobile phone?
"How many mobile phones do you want to buy? Right, one person can only buy one Daqian 5 at a time! "A staff member who managed the queue came over and asked.
"One …"
"No, two, one for each of us!" The girlfriend was about to answer, but the quick-witted boyfriend immediately answered.
"Well, congratulations, these are the last two numbers!" The staff member smiled and then added two pieces of paper to the two of them. The two numbers 999 and 1000 were written on them.
This is probably the number of people in the queue.
These two pieces of paper should be quite hasty. They were probably printed directly on the A4 paper and then cut out. If it weren't for the watermark of the Daqian mobile phone on the back of the A4 paper, it would be very easy to fake.
