Chapter 538, the times are changing

Hong Kong Island, September 1985.

Located in the most prosperous central area of Hong Kong Island, that is, Xintiandi Plaza, there is a flagship store opening here.

The flagship store was renovated a few months ago.

Everyone has always been very curious, what is the store? What kind of products are they selling?

You must know that this is Xintiandi Plaza, although it has a land area of ten square kilometers, it has already become a place where every inch of land is valuable.

Many foreign tourists or mainland tourists, after coming to Hong Kong Island, will definitely come to Xintiandi Plaza to check in and play

In such a place, renting a venue here requires a lot of rent.

As everyone knows, the current population of Hong Kong Island has exceeded 10 million, and it is not far from exceeding 11 million.

Compared with the original time and space, Hong Kong Island has an additional 10 square kilometers of Xintiandi Plaza, so the land area should be enough.

But the population of more than 10 million is nearly 4 million more than the 7 million population of the original time and space.

The population of 4 million is the population of an ordinary second-tier city in the mainland.

Therefore, even though Hong Kong Island has consciously suppressed the growth of real estate prices for many years, and has vigorously developed manufacturing and tourism, housing prices have still risen rapidly.

Especially after 10 million people, the increase is even faster.

Therefore, the price of commercial shop rent is more expensive, and it is more advantageous on the side of Xintiandi Plaza.

As a result, many citizens and tourists are looking forward to this shop that has been renovated for several months.

It wasn't until this day in September that the shop finally opened.

Huaxing mobile phone!

It's another mobile phone store, and it didn't hold any press conference, it was directly put on the shelves for sale.

The main hit is a surprise attack.

Almost on the same day, thousands of consumers walked into the Huaxing mobile phone flagship store to experience their mobile phones.

Unlike other brands such as Apple mobile phones and PHS mobile phones, Huaxing mobile phones are mainly focused on one word: trendy.

The price is also low, medium and high, and there are still many places for consumers to choose from.

For example, the most expensive mobile phone directly exceeded 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the mobile phone is very beautiful, and the data is also very eye-catching.

For example, it supports 72 hours of standby time, can play mini-games, and can also connect to a computer to download music.

Even though it doesn't have a lot of RAM (only two MB), it's definitely more than enough.

That's the latest trendy point, the music phone.

It is completely different from other mobile phone brands on the market and has achieved industry leadership.

However, mobile phones of the same brand also have mid-range prices.

But for a mid-range priced phone, its performance and functionality are much worse.

First of all, the standby time, etc.,It's a little worse than the high-end machine.,Music, it's also a little different.,It's only about a few songs that can be downloaded.。

Because its memory is only a few tens of kilobytes.

The second is that there is only one built-in game, so there is no choice.

Rao is so, after Huaxing mobile phone came out, it quickly aroused the interest and discussion of consumers.

Hong Kong Island residents and tourists are overjoyed, after all, the price of low-end mobile phones is really not expensive, that is, the price of about 1,800.

Of course, I am very happy to be able to buy a mobile phone at this price.

A few years ago, this price could only be bought by multiplying by about five.

Compared with ordinary consumers, Apple and PHS were dumbfounded after seeing Huaxing mobile phones.

Bai Tofu was the most direct, and found her father angrily:

"Dad, you're too eccentric, aren't you? Isn't PHS your business? Why does Huaxing's mobile phone still have so many functions? ”

Take a look at Huaxing's marketing slogan: music mobile phone, be a happy master!

Good guys, that's amazing!

Nowadays, the one who can listen to songs is Apple's Walkman, but this thing is huge.

It's bigger than an adult's slap, and it's too much trouble to put in your pocket.

However, this is the first time that music has been built into the phone.

How big is a mobile phone?

Not only can you make phone calls, but you can also listen to songs.

It's a little more expensive, but it's worth the price.

And PHS's mobile phones don't have the function of listening to music.

So the white tofu can be angry.

Facing the angry white tofu, many years asked with a smile:

"I remember you told me before that you are not afraid of competition, but now that it has just begun, you can't stand it?"

The struggle between the three companies of the Apple mobile phone company, PHS and Huaxing company has been promoted by one hand for many years.

In addition to the status quo of Apple's mobile phone company's original backwater, which has made me very dissatisfied for many years, it is more because the dividends of the times are coming.

Since the reform and opening up after seven or eight years, backed by the huge market of the mainland, it is impossible for just the Apple mobile phone company to completely carve it up.

Rather than cheapening those foreign capitals in vain, it is better to personally promote the upgrading and development of the mobile phone industry for many years.

Only when the three companies compete with each other and become bigger and stronger can the mobile phone industry quickly usher in industrial upgrading and technological innovation.

After all, Apple alone, hehe, really can't withstand the pressure of other capital.

Even the current three companies, Huaxing Company, PHS Company and Apple Company, in fact, cannot completely carve up the entire mobile phone market.

For many years, the idea was to take advantage of the competition between these three mobile phone companies to occupy 80% of the entire market.

It's very difficult to do that.

Perhaps, in the history of the original time and space, whether it was Nokia or later Apple, they did dominate for a period of time, but it is obvious that the times are changing, and when the new king ascends the throne, it represents an old era that is withdrawing from the stage of history.

In the time and space of later generations, many people felt that the traditional Spring Festival and Qingming Festival in the East had no holiday flavor and were not as strong as before.

In the past, festivals were full of New Year's flavor, such as the Spring Festival, fireworks and firecrackers could be set off, and the whole city was filled with a strong atmosphere of human fireworks.

But later, fireworks and firecrackers were banned, and paper money was not allowed to be burned on the Qingming Festival.

On the contrary, the atmosphere of Western festivals is directly full, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

But in reality?

These traditional Western festivals are also no longer 'authentic' in the West, and their so-called festival atmosphere is also disappearing.

And these ordinary young men and women in the mainland, the reason why they feel that Western festivals will become more and more intense in the land under their feet.

That's because capital is creating these atmospheres for these young people to consume.

As we all know, isn't the place with a strong festive atmosphere a shopping mall?

In addition to shopping malls and other places for people to consume, are there other places that do not need to be consumed, and is there a strong Western festival atmosphere?

Could it be true that there are Orientals who like turkey very much?

Shit!

Even apples aren't popular with people.

Not to mention turkey, which is extremely difficult to swallow at first glance, there are no Orientals who like to eat turkey, and if there is, it must be because they have not eaten the eight major cuisines of the mainland and snacks all over the country.

It's all in Baiyun City, I've been to Baiyun City once, and after experiencing the food here, I will definitely not say that the turkey is delicious.

Times are changing, it is capital that makes these festival atmospheres different, and it is the times themselves that turn the traditional festival atmosphere into a safer festival.

For example, fireworks, such as burning paper money, these traditional festival rituals with a full sense of atmosphere, around the first decade of the millennium, how many safety accidents have been caused every year?

No one will pay attention to this.

Even if it is often promoted, there will also be people who take risks.

The times are advancing, and there are always people who like to turn back the clock of history and work against the mainstream.

Hearing her father's words, the momentum of the white tofu suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, she craned her neck again and said:

"But Dad, look at that Huaxing company, their mobile phone is a music mobile phone, and it can also listen to songs, do you see which brand of mobile phone can listen to songs now?"

"So you're not going to develop a phone like this?"

For many years, he still said very calmly:

"Don't you PHS have any money? I remember you didn't spend a lot of money on technology research and development? Now that Huaxing Company has given you a good demonstration, then you should follow up in time."

"Otherwise, you can innovate yourself, many technologies need to be broken through by yourself, you can't always count on me to help you, right?"

When Bai Tofu heard this, she immediately knew that her father would not help PHS.

But she was still unwilling, so she had to be coquettish with her father.

As a result, at this time, Xiao Budian and He Minhong happened to come back, and after many years, they pointed to Xiao Budian and said:

"Well, your brother is back, tell your brother about it, he should have a lot of good ideas"

After many years, I got up and left the living room and went out to take the baby.

Seriously, the daughter of white tofu is very good at being coquettish.

Her ability is not not strong, but her ability is strong in business management, not in the field of technology research and development.

But it's a different story if it's smaller.

He has now shifted to the application research level of lithium batteries and other aspects, so relatively speaking, he can help white tofu at the research and development level in the field of mobile phones.

Watching his father leave, and noticing that his sister was looking at him, Xiao Budian felt bad.

It's a pity that the little ones can't escape.

After Huaxing Company started selling on Hong Kong Island this time, it didn't take long for it to land in other markets such as Bald Eagle and Europe, and it was also well received.

Almost in July, August and September, the most discussed topic in the world is Huaxing mobile phone.

In Xishui Village, the mainland, Tan Xiaolian finally planned to buy a mobile phone after receiving her salary.

Acui, Azhen and Yanzi, the three best friends, naturally accompanied her to choose.

As a result, when the four of them arrived at the mall, they found that they hadn't been here for a while, and it had become very different.

Apple mobile phone company, PHS company and Huaxing mobile phone company, the stores of their three companies, are actually not far from the same street, almost the kind of competition situation of facing the gong and the drum.

Hiss!

"Where are we going?"

The scene in front of them suddenly made Ah Zhen and the others not know what to do.

On the contrary, it was Tan Xiaolian, and after glancing at it, she immediately said:

"Let's go to the house with a lot of people!"

Since it is a mobile phone flagship store with many people, it must be Huaxing mobile phone.

The reason is also very simple, Huaxing's mobile phone has just been on the market for a short time, and it is engaged in activities, and the mobile phone can also play music, which can be said to be the latest and latest mobile phone this year.

As for the latest PHS mobile phone, it is a bit outdated.

No way, the times change very quickly, people are animals who like the new and hate the old, and the time to like the new and hate the old is very fast.

The four of them walked into the flagship store of Huaxing Mobile Phone Company, they had been queuing for a while just now, and now it was finally their turn.

Girls,Relatively speaking, it's still very emotional.,And I like to join in the fun more.。

From the chat of the people next to them, the four of them also knew the Huaxing mobile phone in front of them, although it had just come out not long ago, but this kind of mobile phone was indeed very powerful.

I was able to listen to music.

It's just that when they saw a mobile phone that could play music, that is, a high-end machine, with a price of more than 10,000 yuan, they were immediately shocked.

The mobile phone is really awesome, but it won't be more than 10,000, right?

Even Tan Xiaolian, who felt that she had a small net worth, was also dumbfounded at this time.

Good guys, a mobile phone is more than 10,000 yuan, even if it is a mid-range mobile phone, the price is thousands of yuan.

It's too expensive!

However, the strange thing is that they actually saw cheap mobile phones.

But they looked at the functions of cheap mobile phones, and they were indeed 108,000 miles worse than high-end mobile phones.

It's like, a cheap phone, which has no other features than the ability to make calls and send texts.

However, mid-to-high-end mobile phones are very different, you can listen to songs and play games.

"Ah Lian, otherwise you will buy this mid-range machine, anyway, your salary is high"

After making a comparison between the three of them, Yanzi unanimously recommended Tan Xiaolian to buy a mid-range mobile phone.

Tan Xiaolian's monthly salary is still 2,000 yuan, but isn't she about to be promoted, plus she has a car, if you buy an ordinary cheap mobile phone, it's not good?

"It's too expensive, it's worth months of my salary."

Hearing their recommendation, Tan Xiaolian stared at the price and said in a speechless voice.

"Why don't we go to the two next door and have a look, anyway, buy a mobile phone, isn't it just shopping around."

So, the four of them left Huaxing Company and went to PHS to compare the two flagship stores of Apple mobile phones.

Comparatively speaking, Tan Xiaolian still likes PHS's mobile phones, after all, she liked them before.

But now after watching Huaxing's music mobile phone, I always feel that PHS mobile phone is missing something.

That is, if she bought a PHS mobile phone, would she regret it? (End of chapter)
