God of Rebirth Trader

Chapter 363: The Afterglow of the Sunset

The intention of the other party is not to announce a new product. This is simply a sweep of the mobile phone market. They want to encircle and suppress the members of the Symbian Alliance and formulate new technical standards!

"What's going on? Why are today's sales so small?"

Gao Ping took the sales department's statistics on the number of mobile phones sold that day and saw that the total sales volume was only about a hundred units. He could hardly believe his eyes.

The person in charge of the sales department said with a wry smile: "Mobile phone stores in various cities said that because the press conference held by Infinite Company was reproduced by various media, users now understand that all mobile phones on the market have become technologically backward.

It's an "old antique", so those potential customers are waiting and watching."

"They want to see what the specific performance of Infinity Company's "smartphone" is when it is officially released, and then make a choice!"

"Also, the owners of mobile phone stores are afraid that their inventory will be lost in their hands, so they have expressed that they want to return most of their inventory and suspend cooperation with us. I hope we can understand..."

Gao Ping understood it completely and had no doubts anymore!

Chinese people are so cruel!

They have made it clear that they want to give all mobile phone companies a warning and want to subvert the entire mobile phone industry and take away the biggest piece of the cake without leaving any residue!

Gao Ping pressed the rapidly beating blood vessels on his forehead, trying to calm down his excited emotions.

The Chinese say that their "smartphones" have fully mature technologies. However, how is this possible?

The launch of every new technology is accompanied by various flaws, which can only be gradually improved after being tested by the market.

Just like their mobile phone, it actually uses a 3.5-inch LCD screen with almost no borders.

Wouldn't it be easy for such a large screen to break if bumped?

By the way, that’s it!

The more Gao Ping thought about it, the more he confirmed his judgment. The muscles on his face finally relaxed, revealing a smile.

The island country has been conducting research on liquid crystal technology for many years and is also in a leading position in the world!

Through the press conference, he learned that this "smartphone" of Infinite Company uses multi-touch, an interactive display technology.

However, at present, how to improve the response speed of liquid crystal is still a worldwide issue.

It is very rare that the Chinese people, who are technologically backward, can launch the first generation of commercial products and manufacture some TVs and computer monitors. It is absolutely, absolutely impossible for them to have the technological strength to surpass the island countries.

Sony's technical advantages still exist.

As an expatriate high-level employee of Sony Corporation, he certainly knew that Infinite Corporation had cooperated with Sony Corporation to open a joint venture factory a few years ago.

Its purpose is to manufacture a batch of LCD screens that comply with special regulations.

However, later, due to the strong intervention of Intel, the cooperation between the two parties was forced to terminate.

But this also shows that Infinite Company has already begun to lay out the field of mobile terminals a few years ago.

What a terrible opponent!

However, Gao Ping firmly believes that the island country is at the forefront of the world in electronic technology, and liquid crystal technology is one of the cores of "smartphones".

Secondly, even if Infinite Company launches a new mobile phone product, it will definitely be boycotted by the alliance.

And with leading LCD technology, they can definitely occupy a favorable position.

After that, it is not impossible to go back and imitate or even surpass their products.

Just like Motorola, which produced the world's first commercial mobile phone in 1973, but so what?

Nokia, Samsung, and Sony followed closely behind and quickly carved up this market.

It is simply impossible to have a single family!

After thinking this through, Gao Ping instantly felt a lot more relaxed. Then, he picked up the phone again, dialed an overseas number, and urgently reported the news to the Tokyo headquarters...

As the news of Infinity Company's press conference spread, the mobile phone market, which was originally booming, fell into a state of almost no one paying attention.

Many mobile phone stores did not even sell a single mobile phone all day long.

In this era, people's mentality of being greedy for small gains is abundant and exists objectively. If you want users to give up their expectations for new products and instead buy outdated products, how can users be willing?

The reaction of the capital market seems to be even more intense.

As soon as the New York Stock Exchange opened, the stocks of many mobile phone companies were sold by a large number of funds and trust institutions.

Countless selling orders are constantly refreshing the stock valuation board.

In particular, Nokia's stock price plummeted.

Only ten minutes after the opening, the biggest drop reached an astonishing -32%!

In one fell swoop, it became the focus of Nasdaq investors.

However, as the market closed at midday, a mysterious fund suddenly poured in to buy the bottom, slowly rebounding the decline to -24%.

Affected by the sharp fall in Nokia's share price.

In the Asia-Pacific market, dozens of companies with mobile phone businesses, including Samsung, Panasonic, and Lenovo, were not immune, and their stock prices all fell to a certain extent.

At this time, even the dullest person knows that the world's mobile phone industry is about to face a major reshuffle.

Espoo is a town in southern Finland.

It is 17.7 kilometers west of the capital Helsinki and has a population of about 200,000. It is the second largest city in Finland. It is located in a wide and flat river valley with low hills and large-scale granite quarries.

Nokia headquarters is located here.

The year 2004 was Nokia’s highlight moment.

They sold their billionth mobile phone in Nigeria, Africa, creating a sales legend in the business world. Their brand value ranked sixth in the world, becoming the leader in the global mobile phone industry.

Nokia, the mobile phone company, has become Finland’s well-deserved pride.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Its board chairman and CEO Jorma Ollila also enjoys a huge reputation in Finland.

That is to say, in 2004, Hannu Takula, a Finnish member of the European Union, suggested that Ollila run for President of Finland, believing that once he ran for office, he would definitely become the first candidate for President of Finland.

This shows that Nokia plays an important role in the hearts of Finnish people.

In April of the same year, Symbian's major shareholder Psion sold its 31.1% stake. Nokia held approximately 47.9% of the shares and dominated Symbian's operations.

Therefore, as Nokia reached the peak of the mobile phone market in 2004, Symbian quickly monopolized the mobile phone operating system market.

In addition to Nokia, the members of the Symbian Alliance include Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Siemens, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Lenovo, etc., covering almost all mobile phone brands that people can think of in the world.

But the current prosperity is just the twilight scene of the empire, because as early as three years ago, Nokia encountered a lot of troubles.

They tried twice to initiate organizational structure optimization, but failed to varying degrees.

Secondly, the newly launched gaming phone N-Gaga also suffered a loss of approximately 300 million euros. From 2001 to 2004, Nokia did not launch a truly explosive mobile phone.

It can be said that the entire enterprise reached its peak in 2004 by relying on the inertia of past successes.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.

The perfect sales data made Ollila and other Nokia executives mistakenly believe that the crisis was over and a new sun would usher in the next day.

What they didn't know was that in 2004, in the far east, a company called Infinity would extend its tentacles into this industry and turn the entire market into chaos.

At the same time, Steve Jobs and Larry Page, the founder of Google, on the other side of the ocean, both focused on the fat "smartphone".
