Chapter 1333 Rebirth from ashes
Listening to the discussions and cheers below, Fang Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
In fact, the benefits of building a stadium for Optian Communications are not huge. Perhaps apart from making the employees of Optian Communications less crowded and cramped during the next conference, it also allows these employees to chat with the neighbors.
When you do something, you can feel a sense of pride and pride that comes from the heart.
"Look, this new stadium was built by us Qingtian!"
In addition, it will benefit Luozhou more.
Now, with the rapid expansion of Qingtian Communications, more and more people are pouring into the urban area of Luozhou. In the past, the living space of old Luozhou people had to be compressed.
He has even heard his mother complain that since his company, Qingtian Communications, was established in Luozhou, Luozhou has become full of people everywhere. Even going to the vegetable market is like going to war.
A place to put your feet down.
Although this is not his fault, on the contrary, the establishment of Qingtian Communications has brought new vitality and development opportunities to this first royal capital in Chinese history.
This can be seen from the fact that Luozhou’s GDP has been increasing almost year after year in recent years, as well as the higher and higher rental housing built in urban villages, as well as the increasing number of small restaurants, food stalls, and even vegetable markets.
come out.
But building a stadium, making a contribution to Luozhou, and improving Luozhou people's view of Qingtian is actually nothing.
The investment of several million in construction is no longer something that needs to be carefully calculated for Qingtian at this time.
"Let's get back to the topic. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has experienced this ordeal with Qingtian Communications and created miracles again, opening a new chapter in the development history of Qingtian Communications. It is precisely because of you.
, Qingtian was able to rise from the ashes today." Fang Chen said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, a shallow lake of tears instantly appeared in the eyes of many people in the audience.
Looking back half a year ago, it can indeed be called the most severe moment for Qingtian Communications.
Because major international mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, Ericsson, and Siemens do not support Prime's 2.5G network, major postal and telecommunications offices that had already placed orders have torn up their contracts and stopped purchasing the full set of equipment for Prime's 2.5G network.
Although they can understand these post and telecommunications offices, after all, if the network base station does not have mobile phones as supporting equipment, it will be a bunch of scrap metal and useless waste.
But what followed was that the Qingtian 2.5G network production line that was finally successfully built was completely shut down, leaving nearly 5,000 employees idle. Except for some employees who were transferred, most of the employees could only receive a basic salary.
Even the small restaurants near Qingtian Communications and the rental houses in urban villages were affected by this storm.
Many of them plan to take advantage of the success of Qingtian Communications to get the first-come-first-served property, borrow money heavily for construction, and purchase more shops from nearby residents.
Once Qingtian Communications goes into recession, it means that not only will they not be able to get a generous return on their investment, they will also be saddled with a lot of debt, and the future of the whole person and the whole family will undergo earth-shaking changes.
It can be said that at that time, the entire Qingtian team was under tremendous pressure, and a pessimistic mood permeated the air.
But fortunately, Mr. Fang made a prompt decision and had unpredictable abilities, and he was able to obtain a complete set of mobile phone manufacturing technology from Nokia.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this pessimistic mood that all the employees of Qingtian Communications are desperate.
Since Mr. Fang brought over Nokia's technology, all the design demonstrations were completed in less than two months, and within three months, the factory and production lines were successfully constructed at the same time. All mobile phone production technologies and processes were fully understood.
The first mobile phone was offline and obtained a network access license from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Only then can they have the joy and laughter of gathering together at this moment, and their faces are full of joy.
They feel proud of Mr. Fang and himself.
"As the saying goes, hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. I believe everyone has also felt the huge changes that have been brought about since Qingtian was able to produce its own mobile phones." Fang Chen said.
Everyone couldn't help but nodded. Since Qingtian was able to produce mobile phones, Qingtian's 2.5G network was first preserved.
After learning that Optimus could produce mobile phones, the major postal and telecommunications offices that had torn up their contracts came back to sign a 2.5G network construction contract with Optimus Communications.
With the contract in place, the employees of Qingtian's 2.5G network production line can naturally resume work in full.
In other words, if these employees had not resumed work in full, then there would be no need for Qingtian Communications to recruit more employees to produce mobile phones. This group of employees could just take over.
"I won't say much more about my thanks. It's September now. In three months, when this year is over, I will definitely come over in person and send you a big red envelope." Fang Chen said with a smile.
A burst of earth-shattering cheers and thunderous applause instantly erupted from the audience, as if the world was about to be overthrown.
Even Shen Wei, Dong Jiamu, Ma Huateng, Liu Xuehong and other CEOs and vice presidents of Qingtian Communications sitting in the first row couldn't help but bursts of joy on their faces.
For them, the attraction of big red envelopes is of course one aspect, but more importantly, Fang Chen can personally come and hand out red envelopes to everyone, which represents full recognition of their work.
However, he believed that the other employees below the stage also thought the same way.
Mr. Fang is the spiritual support for everyone in the company, and the physical support is not for nothing.
It seems that as long as Fang is always there, Qingtian's development will move forward unimpeded.
This has been fully verified once again in the recent bans on Motorola, Ericsson, and Siemens.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Fang Chen announced that Qingtian mobile phones have officially started selling in more than a thousand Qingtian stores across the country.
It is different from the previous world where Internet companies released mobile phones first and then had to wait a few days before they could pre-order and grab the phones online, or a certain real estate company PTT built a car.
After the first mobile phone rolled off the assembly line, Qingtian Mobile began to officially produce mobile phones on a large scale without obtaining a network access license.
Although the quantity is not large, only 20,000 units, it is enough to cope with domestic customers.
After all, current mobile phones, especially second-generation mobile network mobile phones, are still somewhat of a luxury to modern people.
Although the price has been much lower than that of mobile phones, with each mobile phone selling for only 6,000 yuan, you still need to pay the telecommunications company a network access fee of about 10,000 yuan and a number selection fee of about 3,000 yuan.
Taken together, the purchase cost of nearly 20,000 yuan per unit and the phone bill of at least 500 yuan per month are really not something ordinary people can afford.
In fact, Shen Wei originally suggested that he hold another press conference for the Qingtian mobile phone and invite all the media reporters.
When products such as DVD players and pagers were released before, this approach worked very well.
But Fang Chen thought about it carefully and refused.
To be honest, apart from being China's first second-generation mobile network phone, which is worth bragging about, this Qingtian phone really doesn't have anything worth mentioning.
Because the time was too short, we rushed to revitalize Optimus Communications and revitalize the employees of the 2.5G network as soon as possible. Since receiving Nokia’s mobile phone production technical data, the technicians of Optimus Communications have not made any changes to this mobile phone except in terms of appearance. What qualitative changes have occurred?
In other words, this phone is actually a replica of the Nokia 200, with at most added support for the Optimus 2.5 network.
Under this situation, Fang Chen really didn't want to brag about such a mobile phone with a straight face.
Furthermore, as China's first domestically produced 2G mobile phone, coupled with Qingtian's appeal and brand power over the years, there should be little need to worry about the sales of this phone.
And although there was no special press conference, the advertising campaign that Qingtian is good at was still launched.
Almost all media magazines, TV stations, and Qingtian in China have placed advertisements for Qingtian mobile phones. Even this time, it was so crazy that Qingtian has even arranged some bus body advertisements and the newly opened Shencheng subway. advertise.
In this case, if there is any problem with the sales of Qingtian mobile phones, it can only mean that there is something wrong with Qingtian Communications.
Yanjing, Zhongguancun Qingtian House, ten o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the 500-square-meter Qingtian House was already filled with people. Due to the heat generated by the large gathering of people, even if the five large air conditioners in Qingtian House were fully operated, they could not completely cool down the commotion of the crowd. , there was still inevitable drop of sweat on their foreheads.
Everyone in Qingtian House, from the store manager to the temporary clerks, felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. The beads of sweat on their foreheads were even denser than these people. After all, the whole room was full, and there was almost no place to stand. This was the first time they encountered a "grand occasion" that they had never seen before.
And what is somewhat surprising is that there are many people in Qingtian House on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, a large number of children and teenagers come to the store to have fun and have fun. They come to the store from Monday to Friday. The game of thinking about dreams.
But what is completely different this time is that the people sitting here are almost all big bosses with big bellies, suits and leather shoes, and briefcases in their hands, as well as their secretaries and drivers.
There is no doubt that these big bosses are here to buy Qingtian mobile phones.
As early as a few days ago, when Qingtian advertised overwhelmingly in major news media, they had already focused on Qingtian mobile phones.
I was attracted by the high bandwidth, high connection rate, low dropout rate, national roaming function and SMS function promoted by 2G mobile phones.
Almost all of them have had Big Brothers.
Naturally, everyone knows that although this big brother is powerful in his hands, it has many disadvantages.
When I first got Big Brother, when I called, I would show my Big Brother phone, pull out the antenna, and roar loudly. It was very majestic, for fear that others would not know that I had a Big Brother, that I was from the upper class, and that I was rich. .
It's been available for a long time, but it's really uncomfortable.
The weight is so heavy that it feels like holding a brick in your hand. Think about how desperate it is to hold a brick and make phone calls for half an hour or even an hour.
So there were many of them, so they gave the responsibility of holding the phone to the secretary, that is, the secretary helped hold the phone and put it to his ear.
Furthermore, the signal is not good. To make a call, you have to find a place with good signal. It is really a mobile phone call, and even so, sometimes you have to shout loudly, otherwise the other party cannot hear you.
What are you talking about.
After this phone call, my voice became hoarse, which is a common occurrence.
In addition, Mobile Phone is an analog network. Although it can roam, the effect is really not good. Whether you can make calls when you travel to another city is really a metaphysical question.
The battery capacity is also small. One battery can only support half an hour of phone calls. When the time is up, you have to hang up the phone and make another call.
However, whether it can be opened up is another question.
These shortcomings no longer exist in the Qingtian mobile phone. According to the advertisement, the Qingtian mobile phone weighs only 180 grams, which is only one-fifth of the weight of the big brother.
And the signal strength is much better, it can make calls for an hour without interruption, and the battery can support 24 hours of standby a day and two hours of uninterrupted calls.
Moreover, it has a good style and is much more compact. It also has a small screen to view. It is said that you can browse the address book and make calls through the buttons on the phone.
In this case, they no longer need to carry such a thick phone book every day.
What makes them a little depressed is that it is said that even Zhongguancun Qingtian Home, the largest Qingtian Home in North China and even the northern region, has only been allocated a total of 200 mobile phones, which is obviously not enough.
There was no other way, so the store manager of Qingtian Home wrote a number for each of them, and bought mobile phones according to the number, and promised that he could make calls to other Qingtian Homes in Yanjing.
If these Qingtian Homes still have any leftover mobile phones, they can sell them as many as they have.
But the store manager also made it clear that there was not much hope.
Although they are disappointed, seeing the current situation, they seem to understand even if they don't understand.
Is it possible that they still dare to cause trouble and play tricks in Qingtian's store?
Liu Yuanjun and other young men will teach him how to behave in minutes.
The status of Qingtian, especially Mr. Fang, is definitely not something they can challenge.
Then, the phone on the counter suddenly rang. There was a bustle just now, and the huge Qingtian House fell silent for an instant. Almost everyone looked at the phone, their eyes filled with a trace of desire.
of light.
The store manager picked up the phone and responded a few words, then said to everyone: "Mr. Fang has just announced that the Qingtian mobile phone will be on sale. Everyone will take the number just given and come to me in order to pay for the mobile phone. Purchase.
Chapter completed!
