Chapter 215 New Gold Mine
"He wanted to cooperate with Donglin Hi-Tech in the field of SMS business and launch an SMS system platform. The person named Li Yan said that this idea was influenced by the PHS mobile phone advertisement and came up with this idea.

He wants to use this SMS platform to help some companies carry out mass SMS advertising and send advertisements to mobile phone users in the form of SMS! "

Ren Yuefeng said that when he mentioned Li Yan, his words were full of appreciation for this person. Ren Yuefeng felt that this idea had great potential.

Chinese text messaging has just begun. It was PHS mobile phones that supported the Chinese text message editing function, which made Chinese text messages available for the first time in China. Li Yan was able to spot the business opportunities and his vision was really good.

However, what made Ren Yuefeng appreciate Li Yan was not Li Yan's proposal to engage in SMS advertising and marketing, but his proposal.

If the SMS advertising system is developed, then from now on, the commercial scope of PHS mobile phones will be expanded several times. From then on, PHS will not only be individual users, but also one of the platforms that countless companies need to rely on. First, PHS mobile phones will become a new advertising platform.

The number and scope of users of PHS mobile phones, as well as their commercial value, have increased exponentially, and the demand will naturally increase significantly.

Li Dongling was slightly distracted when he heard Ren Yuefeng's words. He didn't expect that someone would focus on the value of text messages so quickly.

A mobile phone is not just for making calls. Every time it adds a function, it can create a gold mine worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!

Like the SMS function, now with the sale of PHS, Chinese SMS has just emerged, and there are not yet all kinds of advertising SMS, or even spam SMS.

Li Dongling glanced at the time and said to Ren Yuefeng, Dongling Hi-Tech was not prepared to play so hard like Apple, wishing that the dogs passing by would pluck out a few hairs as tolls.

After text messages, mobile phones will give birth to another money-attracting artifact, the popular ring tones, and then emerging industries such as mobile phone software industry, mobile games, etc. These new industries are all white-collar industries sitting in the office, and the salaries are also quite high. good.

This industry will even give birth to specialized text messaging software, text message writers, text message editors, text message books, text message websites, etc. A dime industry can support countless people.

Although in later generations, many people are annoyed by all kinds of spam text messages, in fact, these advertising text messages are also part of modern marketing promotion, and they are also precise sales!

For example, the money earned from software on Apple computers has almost exceeded that of hardware. Even if the machine cannot be sold any day, relying on hundreds of millions of user groups, the money earned from app stores, mobile advertising, and software commissions will continue to grow. Annual revenue can exceed hundreds of billions of dollars.

In this era before the rise of the Internet, two people in two places can communicate through letters, telegrams, phone calls, and now there is another way to send text messages.

However, we also need to establish our own camp and developer group in the mobile software industry. This seems to be just making more money now, but it may be of great use in the future.

"Let him in!"

When using an Apple machine, whether you are taking a taxi, ordering takeout, booking a hotel, recharging games, tipping hosts, etc., as long as the transaction is completed, you have to pay tax to Apple. This is why using an Apple machine is more expensive than an Android machine. Apple has taken a cut of it, so it’s no wonder those third-party platforms are there. Of course, it’s not ruled out that some third-party platforms may also take the opportunity to follow Apple’s lead and quietly take a stab at it...

Microsoft dominates the computer system industry. Its computer systems are indeed unique, but those opponents who want to challenge it are not entirely defeated by technology, but also by countless software.

Apple mobile phones can single-handedly defeat Symbian, Android, Microsoft WP and the latecomer Hongmeng system, etc., relying on a large number of software development companies, which can help Apple support the IOS system empire, and even make iOS software Optimization and experience surpass other platforms. In turn, the Apple system, because it is a closed loop, can also eliminate copycat guarantees, allowing these software development companies to earn more.

A text message costs a dime, but just this dime text message can allow two people to communicate with each other, and can also send text messages of holiday blessings, subscribe to the weather via text message, text message news, etc.

For those opponents who want to challenge Microsoft, the biggest difficulty is not to develop a system, but how to get software development companies and individual developers to switch over and develop software for their own systems. Otherwise, there will be no software at all. How is a system where games cannot be played different from a ghost town? Even if the system is free, who would be willing to use it? !

There are countless software development companies in the Microsoft camp, as well as individual independent developers, who are already bound to Microsoft. They all need to rely on Microsoft systems to make a living. Whether they are willing or not, they can only stay in the Microsoft camp.

During the peak period of text messaging, during the Spring Festival, China Mobile could send 60 billion text messages, and China Unicom could send 10 billion text messages. Adding China Telecom, the number of domestic text messages sent during the Spring Festival could reach , billion, or even billion. Many, after calculation, the domestic text message charges during the Spring Festival alone exceed one billion yuan!
If there is demand, practitioners will naturally emerge. For example, publishing houses will publish books specifically to teach users how to write text messages, so that users can write text messages with culture and connotation based on what is in the book without racking their brains. It doesn't feel like it has much technical content, but in the era when text messaging was the most active, there would be no problem for a book like this to sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies and sell out of stock.

In the future, when it comes to mobile phone systems, whether it joins the Symbian or Android camps or sets up its own business, Donglin Hi-Tech will need the support of a development company from its own camp.

Otherwise, after the release of later generations of smart phones, the number of software is calculated in millions. The number of APPs for Apple systems has reached 178 million, and the number of Android APPs has reached more than 280 million.

Although users can only support twenty or thirty commonly used mobile applications, the number of applications they open on a daily basis generally does not exceed a dozen, or even only three or five. However, on a mobile phone system, users do not want to use it and they cannot use it. These are two completely different concepts!
For Donglin Hi-tech, it is impossible to develop all the two to three million application functions by itself. That is unrealistic. It will definitely require the support of other software development companies. Now, take precautions and start building your own mobile software in advance. It is always better to be prepared and prepared in the camp than to have no mobile phone system in the future when a situation arises.

For example, when Juhua Factory's mobile phones began to pose a threat to Apple, they were kicked out of the Android camp. Self-developed Hongmeng, even after several years of development, has far fewer applications than Apple and Android.

Li Dongling doesn’t want to see Donglin Hi-Tech make the same mistake again one day in the future, so he must make arrangements in advance, especially for some general APP applications with huge user numbers. If Donglin Hi-Tech is kicked away, other mobile phone brands will not have an easy time!

The reception room of Donglin High-tech Headquarters was full of people at this time. There were no seats left on the sofas, and some of them were sitting on benches.

Li Yan and Feng Jun beside him listened to the Dongling Hi-Tech agents in the reception room, talking about agency fees of millions and tens of millions, and threatening to use huge agency fees to package PHS's business in a certain province. General Agent Quan, both of them were dumbfounded when they heard this.

It’s not like Li Yan and Feng Jun have never seen people who can talk and brag, but now, daring to brag about a million-dollar business is already a big deal. But listening to the group of people in the reception room, the one from Yangcheng called Chen Zuhan's agent actually wanted to join several other companies and spend no less than 30 million to become the general agent of PHS mobile phones in Guangdong Province!
Those who can enter the reception room, such as Chen Zuhan, are all agents who have cooperated with Dongling Hi-Tech before. Although the PHS agency rights have not been given to them, it will not allow Chen Zuhan and others to be like those agents from other places at the gate. Even though they couldn't get through the door, they were still allowed to sit in the reception room.

Chen Zuhan had previously obtained the agency rights for the electronic pet machine in Yangcheng. With this agency, in less than two years, his worth skyrocketed from one million to the threshold of tens of millions, almost tenfold.

The market for electronic pet machines is now completely ruined. In Guangdong Province, where knock-off machines are common, the price of a counterfeit machine has been reduced to less than 15 yuan. Bandai’s genuine machine cannot be sold at all. Move, Chen Zuhan doesn’t sell this stuff much anymore.

He has now become the general agent of Shenzhou Telephone and Feiyan Mini Radio in Yangcheng, and is still making a lot of money. In the past few years, his net worth has been soaring.

But after reaching this point, it is not so easy to go further. Chen Zuhan also tried to enter other industries and made some money. However, the profits of those businesses are compared to the hugely profitable electronic pet machines, as well as the hot-selling Shenzhou digital cordless phones and The mini radio is even less profitable.

Originally, Chen Zuhan had given up all hope, but when he encountered the release of PHS, on the day PHS was released in Hanxi, before the sales volume was announced, Chen Zuhan was sold out and went to Hanxi, where he has been waiting until today.

Although he has not yet obtained the agency rights for PHS, Chen Zuhan is not anxious at all. He still clocks in and goes to work every day. Waiting here, bragging with a group of fellow agents, reading the news and newspapers, and eating Tangling Packed lunches from Hi-tech Logistics Department, and then go home to rest. Yes, Chen Zuhan, a native of Guangdong Province, bought a yard in Pingyang for the agency rights of Tanglin Hi-Tech.

Originally, Chen Zuhan wanted to buy the yards behind the office building of Tangling Hi-tech Headquarters, so that he could be neighbors with Li Dongling and other Dongling Hi-Tech executives. However, those yards had long been sold out, and he could only buy one in a nearby street. courtyard.

After bragging again and threatening to spend 30 million to win the general agent of PHS in Guangdong Province, Chen Zuhan, who was so thirsty, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at the colleagues in the reception room. Take a look.

Although everyone is enjoying themselves now and looking like brothers, Chen Zuhan knows that when the day comes to rob PHS agents, these people will definitely turn against each other!

“I don’t know, where did these two brothers come from as agents?!”

When Li Yan was whispering to Feng Jun about their plan, he suddenly heard Chen Zuhan asking them with a smile.

"I……"

“We are not here to represent PHS phones!”

When he heard a "big boss" like Chen Zuhan asking them questions, Li Yan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Aren't you here to represent PHS?"

Chen Zuhan and everyone in the reception room couldn't help but look at Li Yan and Li Yan curiously. With the current market conditions, it was not easy to enter the Dongling Hi-Tech reception room.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Feng, Mr. Li has an invitation from Manager Ren!"

An assistant came over and said to Li Yan and the two.
