"That's impossible!" Christopher Galvin could no longer maintain his arrogant attitude. He stared at the waiter fiercely and said, "That's impossible. The Daqian mobile phone is a CDMA mobile phone. How could it use a GSM SIM card?"
"This …" The waiter was shocked, and then he said with some fear, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you're saying. There is a Verizon Telecom branch nearby. You can go there and try to apply for a SIM card. If you can't make the call, we can give you a full refund!"
"Hmph!" Christopher Galvin snorted, then picked up the mobile phone, threw down the dollar, and left directly.
"Crazy!" When Christopher Galvin left, he could clearly hear the ridicule of those who were waiting in line, which made Christopher Galvin's expression even worse.
Christopher Galvin, of course, did not need to go to a Verizon Telecom branch. He found a coffee shop and sat down. Then, he took out his Motorola mobile phone and took out the SIM card from it.
Then, he opened the back cover of the Daqian mobile phone and took out the battery inside. He found the SIM card slot and inserted his SIM card. Then, he reinstalled the battery and the back cover. Then, he pressed the power button hard, looking as if he wanted to eat someone.
After pressing the power button for two seconds, the screen of the Daqian mobile phone lit up. Then, the logo of the Daqian Group's twelve-winged angel appeared. Finally, there was a burst of pleasant music, which made many people widen their eyes when they heard it for the first time. Then, the unforgettable music started to play.
"These Hua Xia people actually made music slogans!" When Christopher Galvin heard the pleasant and somewhat unforgettable music, his expression became more complicated.
Many companies had their own brand slogans, and some of these brand slogans would even run through the company's lifetime as a symbol of the company. When people saw the slogans, they would think of the company.
There were many such brand slogans. For example, Sprite's heart soared and chilled; or Nescafe's coffee tasted great; or Diamonds are forever … Well, this advertising slogan was a bit special. At first, it was the brand slogan of the Tilbis Company, but because it was so classic, it eventually became the slogan of the entire diamond industry.
There were many classic brand slogans in China. For example, Gree Electric Appliances' Gree, Master of Core Technology, Li Ning's Anything is Possible, Ford's Endless Progress, etc. These were all very classic brand slogans.
That's right. Nokia's brand slogan was "Technology Puts People First". Motorola's brand slogan was a little special. Every new model of Motorola would come with a brand new promotional slogan. Motorola itself did not have a fixed brand slogan.
But this was just on the surface. If you watched all of Motorola's advertisements, you would find that Motorola was very active in setting their brand slogan as a specious, but the most brainwashing slogan: HELLO OTO.
Many companies in the world had their own language or text versions of their brand slogans. This was nothing new. But for a real international company, especially a big company that directly faced consumers, just a brand slogan was not enough. They would also have a music slogan.
This was like the classic music of Nokia, the default classic ringtone of Apple, and the "Hello Oto" that Motorola almost sang. These were all the music trademarks of these big companies.
Music trademarks were very common in later generations, but in the 1990s, music trademarks were definitely a very new thing. Few companies in the world had their own music trademarks.
Now, the Daqian company had actually customized a music slogan for itself. Was this really a country bumpkin company that popped out of a third-world country?
Or was this just a coincidence? Did the Daqian just find a music slogan and put it on randomly? They did not have any awareness of a music slogan at all!
Christopher Galvin's guess was right. This was indeed a music slogan carefully made by the Daqian. This piece of music, which was less than eight seconds long, cost the Daqian 500,000 USD.
The Daqian found the most famous music company in the world and designed hundreds of versions. The music company was about to go crazy. When they were about to give up on the Daqian deal, the Daqian finally decided on their own music trademark.
This was a magical piece of music that was a fusion of zither and electronic music. If you listened carefully, you might even hear a trace of the Lincoln Park that was popular all over the world in later generations.
Anyway, this was a piece of music that would not be forgotten after listening to it. The Daqian's 500,000 USD was well spent.
"Forget it …" Christopher Galvin realized that he had wasted more than ten minutes on music. He could not help but shake his head. Then, he looked at the upper left corner of the phone screen. A signal logo, which was very familiar to all people in later generations, was displayed. It was composed of three "small" and "big" signs.
"This signal logo … It's so beautiful!" Christopher Galvin was like a country bumpkin entering a city. When he saw this signal logo that everyone was familiar with, he could not help but exclaim.
Well, it was not Christopher Galvin's fault for being so easily surprised. It was not worthy of his noble status at all. In 1995, most mobile phones did not have the function to indicate the strength of the signal. Even if there was, it would be a black dot in the upper left or right corner of the phone, indicating that there was a mobile phone signal.
Da Qian's signal logo was so clear that anyone who saw it could tell at first glance that this logo represented the strength of the mobile phone's signal. This design was really perfect. Christopher Galvin felt that this signal logo alone could improve the quality of Da Qian's mobile phone by more than one level.
"We want this signal logo too!" Christopher Galvin bit his lip and prepared to arrange for Motorola to come up.
"Wait, since the signal logo is lit up, and it's a full three-bar signal, does that mean …" At this time, Christopher Galvin realized his original purpose and dialed a number. After waiting for a few seconds, a beeping sound came from the phone.
After two beeps, the phone was immediately connected. Christopher Galvin's secretary said respectfully from the other end of the phone, "Mr. President, what can I do for you?"
"No, I'm hanging up!" Christopher Galvin hung up the phone and dialed his driver's number. A few minutes later, his Cadillac stopped in front of the coffee shop. Christopher Galvin ordered the driver to go to Motorola's laboratory as soon as possible, even if he was on leave today!
