Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1254 What do you mean by seeking fame and fortune? It's clearly about founding a sect!
"Dongling Hi-Tech, the original parent company of Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone), is returning to the mobile phone industry!"

Dongling High-Tech launches new product: Shenzhou Global Pass mobile phone!

"The mobile phone industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Can Shenzhou mobile phones replicate the miracle of Xiaolingtong?"

While Li Dongling was still at the Pingyang press conference, a host of Chinese internet platforms, including Tianya Forum, China.com, Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, began to report on it.

Even just a title can attract a huge amount of traffic.

On Tianya Forum, this sudden news sparked a huge debate.

The first generation of internet users who are now online, if not all of them, a significant portion of them, are quite well-educated and insightful, and many of them are industry leaders.

Back when Xiaoling Technology was at the peak of its Xiaolingtong business, it sold Xiaolingtong for an exorbitant price, causing quite a stir on Tianya Forum.

In fact, at that time, Tianya Forum generally held a skeptical attitude towards Li Dashanren's decision to sell his Xiaolingtong phone.

Xiaolingtong is the most well-known domestic mobile phone brand in China and the leader in the PHS mobile phone camp.

At the time, many people on Tianya Forum pointed out that selling Xiaolingtong would make domestic PHS mobile phones subject to the control of Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company!
At the time, some pessimistic voices even emerged, saying that Dongling Hi-Tech's sale of PHS (Personal Handyphone System) had cut off the path for domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and if PHS technology became the mainstream in communication in the future, then Dongling Hi-Tech would be the sinner of the mobile phone industry...

Now, Dongling Hi-Tech, which sold off its Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service), has returned to the mobile phone industry, naturally sparking another huge debate on Tianya Forum.

"Is Dongling Hi-Tech sure it didn't violate any regulations? Didn't it sell the Xiaolingtong brand and patents to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Company and announce its withdrawal from the mobile phone industry?"

"Upstairs, Dongling Hi-Tech has announced its permanent withdrawal from the PHS mobile phone market, but according to the news from the press conference, Dongling Hi-Tech launched a GSM mobile phone this time."

"You're looking for Lu Xun, what does that have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?"

A post questioning whether Dongling Hi-Tech's return to the mobile phone industry was a violation of regulations appeared, and someone replied below, followed by a crying-laughing emoji.

Internet emoticons are a new feature recently launched by Tianya Forum in collaboration with China.com and other organizations. They include emoticons such as smiling, crying, laughing-crying, and smirking.

The biggest characteristic of the internet is that it can make something go viral quickly. As soon as the emoji function was launched, it immediately became popular in the Chinese internet community.

These days, posting on Tianya forum without an emoticon seems outdated...

As this post has replied, Dongling Hi-Tech has announced that it has permanently withdrawn from the PHS mobile phone market.

What does exiting PHS have to do with entering GSM mobile phones? These two technologies and standards are completely unrelated. It's like how even if KFC is powerful, can it control McDonald's business?
"In the GSM mobile phone market, there are a number of competitors such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony, and Ericsson."

Back then, Dongling High-Tech's launch of the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) was a unique approach that bypassed competitors in the GSM camp. Now that it's making a comeback, can it beat Nokia?

"Once the opportunity is missed, it's gone forever. Shenzhou mobile phones probably can't replicate the craze of Xiaolingtong back then!"

"Third in global mobile phone shipments, this is probably the swan song of Chinese mobile phones."

On Tianya Forum, there is some pessimism about Dongling Hi-Tech's return to the mobile phone industry. Some believe that Dongling Hi-Tech missed a good opportunity and it will be difficult to restore the miracle of global sales during the era of PHS (Personal Handyphone System).

However, seeing the news being discussed so enthusiastically on Tianya Forum, a user with the Tianya ID "Sichuan and Chongqing's Number One Leek Box" felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that Dongling High-Tech had returned to the mobile phone industry and launched a GSM phone.

The number one leek box in Sichuan and Chongqing, he once made a promise when he was arguing with someone on Tianya forum.

He boasted that if Dongling Hi-Tech dared to enter the mobile phone industry again within three years and launch a non-PHS mobile phone, and if the annual sales could exceed three million mobile phones, then the number one leek box in Sichuan and Chongqing would personally pay out of his own pocket to buy a new Dongling Hi-Tech mobile phone for everyone who had confronted him before, as well as everyone who posted that thread.

Similarly, the person who was arguing with him also made a vow that if Dongling Hi-Tech did not return to the mobile phone industry within three years, he would buy a PHS phone or a UTStarcom phone from Nihon Telephone & Telegraph Company and give it to the number one leek box in Sichuan and Chongqing and other people in the building.

Furthermore, that person honored his bet and insisted on running naked around the front of Dongling High-Tech Company...

Looking at the news on the forum now, the number one leek box in Sichuan and Chongqing feels that he has already lost half of the bet he made. He is now a little suspicious that the person he is talking to might have some inside information.
Dongling Hi-Tech has truly returned to the mobile phone industry and has even launched a GSM phone. Now, we'll see how many units it sells annually.

Once annual sales exceed three million units, he will lose. Back then, the number of people who left comments and replied to their posts was over a hundred!
The thought that he might send out more than a hundred mobile phones made the face of the number one leek pancake in Sichuan and Chongqing turn green.

……

"The future belongs to the internet!" "And Shenzhou Global Pass is the key to opening the door to that future world!"

At the press conference in Pingyang, Li Dashan was still enthusiastically praising Shenzhou Global Pass.

"This phone is the world's first to support tri-band network roaming. With just one phone, you can use it in Asia, North America, and Europe. It is a globally compatible phone."

"The Shenzhou Global Pass is equipped with a color screen developed by Dongfang Optoelectronics, ushering in the era of color screen mobile phones, and black and white screens will become a thing of the past!"

"Shenzhou Global Pass is the first mobile phone to adopt a hidden built-in antenna design, the first to support email, the first to listen to MP3 music, and the first to set polyphonic ringtones."

"This is not just a mobile phone; it is also a gateway to the future, a product that allows us to glimpse the future and usher in a new era of technology!"

Li Dongling held the Shenzhou Global Pass mobile phone in his hand and introduced it to the people at the press conference.

"The reason why Dongling Hi-Tech wants to return to the mobile phone era is because Dongling Hi-Tech's mobile phone technology department has discovered that mobile phones can do more powerful things than imagined!"
It can not only make phone calls and send text messages, but also use the built-in browser to browse internet news.

Shenzhou mobile phones are collaborating with internet companies such as Yahoo!, Himalaya FM, Tianya Forum, Tianya Sports, 3721, and China.com to launch mobile web versions. I guarantee that once you actually get your hands on a Shenzhou Global Pass phone, you will be able to enjoy these features!

After saying that, Li Dongling demonstrated on the spot using Shenzhou Global Pass, logging into NetEase's 163 email account using the email function on the Shenzhou Global Pass mobile phone and sending an email.

Due to network speed issues, it actually took two or three minutes for the email sent from the mobile phone to appear on the Hasee computer at the press conference.

But when the email arrived, a huge roar still erupted at the press conference.

Without a wired internet connection or a computer, just a mobile phone, one could send emails. This would be an eye-opening experience even today.

"There are many important moments in life that should not be missed."

Now, with just a Shenzhou Global Pass device, you can see that most important email anytime, anywhere—perhaps a moment you can't afford to miss—simply by opening your phone!

"Being able to access the internet and send emails on a mobile phone is only one of the functions of Shenzhou Global Pass."

It is not a traditional 1G analog phone that can only make calls. Shenzhou Global Pass allows users to use this phone in a more personalized way.

It can be used to process emails, listen to MP3 music, and experience mobile games. Shenzhou has also built-in e-book functionality, so you can use it to read classic books and other literature in your spare time.

I prefer to think of Shenzhou Global Pass as a phone from the 2G feature phone era!

"The era of 1G simulators and 2G feature phones?"

Sitting in the audience, Feng Miaoyu suddenly sat up straight. With the intuition of a media person, she vaguely sensed that this new term proposed by the philanthropist Li was definitely not something that was said casually!

Many media personnel at the scene shared the same keen sense as Feng Miaoyu, and they immediately took note of Li Dongling's words when they heard the term.

The biggest challenge in any industry is not technological bottlenecks, but rather not knowing the right direction!
Finding direction is like walking in the dark. If you're lucky, you'll reach the other side and find the light. If you're unlucky, you'll fall into a pit.

As for the development of the mobile phone industry, major manufacturers around the world are still exploring and constantly launching new mobile phones and developing new functions to test the waters.

But now, Mr. Li, the philanthropist, is standing right here, holding a Shenzhou Global Pass mobile phone, telling everyone that Shenzhou Global Pass is the future of the mobile phone industry, and the next era of the mobile phone industry is the era of feature phones!

Regardless of whether this is just for show or bragging, in the mobile phone industry, no one has yet found a future.

Dongling High-Tech defined the current mobile phone era. Before Shenzhou Global Pass, it was the analog era, which could only make phone calls. After Shenzhou Global Pass, it was the era of feature phones, which could access the Internet, send emails, listen to music, play games, and so on.

Regardless of whether Shenzhou Global was the first to achieve these functions, the concept was proposed by Shenzhou mobile phones, so Shenzhou Global represented the era of 2G feature phones!
This isn't just self-praise; it's establishing a new school of thought and leading the mobile phone industry into a new era!
Before Apple's smartphones, other mobile phone manufacturers, including Nokia, had also ventured into the smartphone industry.

Ultimately, Apple defined the functionality of the smartphone era, and it became the representative of the smartphone era. The same is true for Shenzhou now!
Once the outside world accepts that Shenzhou phones led the mobile phone industry into the feature phone era, then everything else is self-evident.

What do you mean by "too expensive"? It's paying for technology and for the future of humanity. Technology is priceless!

"Life needs no words; Shenzhou Global Communication will speak for you when you succeed!"
