Ni Yongyao casually flipped through the documents and said, "The price doesn't need to be too high. The goal of this phone is to completely open up the mobile phone market and make mobile phones affordable for most people."

Even now, mobile phones are still high-end products, costing tens of thousands of yuan, which is unaffordable for ordinary people.

The most common communication tool on the market is the pager.

Even so, it was Ni Yongyao's Galaxy No. 1 that brought down the price of pagers, enabling them to achieve initial widespread adoption.

Otherwise, pagers costing five or six thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan are not something ordinary people can afford.

"Let's set the price at eight thousand yuan, and name it Galaxy II."

Ni Yongyao thought about it and made a decision.

This is a comprehensive consideration, ensuring sufficient profits while making it affordable for most people even if they have to grit their teeth.

After all, compared to the old pager, the Galaxy II was far superior.

One Galaxy II phone combines the functions of a mobile phone and a pager, allowing users to make calls and send text messages, while also offering better signal and longer battery life.

The text messaging function, which is now a standard feature on mobile phones, was not available on the early mobile phones of 1991.

"Isn't it too low? This phone has such powerful features, even if the price doubled, many people would still buy it."

Ni Yongxiao said. (caad)

“Yongxiao, don’t just focus on these small, immediate gains. What we need to do is expand the mobile phone market and pave the way for future products.”

Ni Yongyao patted Ni Yongxiao on the shoulder and said.

Galaxy II was just a preliminary product; Ni Yongyao still held Nokia's complete set of patent technologies and could launch more advanced products at any time.

Therefore, cultivating people's mobile phone usage habits is the most important thing.

Otherwise, like the current mobile phones, only a small number of people can afford them, so even high profits are meaningless.

"Brother is right, I understand."

Ni Yongxiao nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Before the listing, we did the same thing as always: we searched all the media in Hong Kong to let everyone know that our mobile phone was coming soon."

Ni Yongyao gave his instructions.

"Yes!"

Ni Yongxiao agreed and then hurriedly left.

three days later.

Galaxy II has been officially launched.

Thanks to the overwhelming advertising over the past few days, everyone on Hong Kong Island has learned about Galaxy II and is extremely excited about its various functions, which has certainly whetted the public's appetite.

Therefore, on the day the Galaxy II was released, 30,000 mobile phones were sold out in just half an hour.

Several thousand more units were subsequently added, and they were all sold out instantly.

The immense popularity of Galaxy II shocked all telecommunications companies in Hong Kong.

That evening.

The first batch of experience reports for Galaxy II have been released, once again igniting excitement throughout Hong Kong.

Television stations, newspapers, radio stations—no matter what form of media it was, they were all talking about one thing: Galaxy II.

This phone completely shattered the public's stereotypes about mobile phones.

The Galaxy II is no longer as heavy as a spinning top, the signal is no longer intermittent, it also supports SMS functionality, and the standby time has been greatly increased.

Most importantly, Galaxy II only costs eight thousand yuan.

This price has driven Hong Kong Island residents absolutely crazy.

Many people who couldn't even afford a pager gritted their teeth and prepared to buy a Galaxy II.

At the same time, many people admire Ni Yongyao, because everything he has done since returning to Hong Kong Island has attracted attention and achieved great success.

Motorola Port Island branch.

Top floor office.

Charlie, the head of the Hong Kong Island branch, stared blankly at the newspaper in his hand.

Especially when they saw that Galaxy-2 had text messaging capabilities, they were almost in despair.

Charlie knew very well that the launch of Galaxy II meant the complete collapse of the pager market. Even if it could hold on for a while longer, it would only be a temporary reprieve, with no potential left.

However, not long ago, Charlie had bought the patent technology for the Galaxy No. 1 pager from Ni Yongyao for 250 million.

At that time, Charlie was full of confidence and thought that the $250 million was well spent. He believed that with Galaxy One, he could dominate the entire pager market.

But unexpectedly, not long after that, Ni Yongyao launched Galaxy II.

Moreover, it was a revolutionary mobile phone, which effectively sealed the fate of the pager product.

Charlie gritted his teeth in anger at the thought of Ni Yongyao. Now he finally understood why Ni Yongyao chose to sell Galaxy One.

"So you were prepared all along..."

Charlie slammed his fist on the desk, wishing he could find Ni Yongyao immediately.

But that was just a thought. Charlie knew very well that the Ni family's current strength was far beyond what he, as the head of Motorola's Hong Kong branch, could afford to offend.

"Drip drip!"

Just then, the phone rang.

Charlie took a deep breath and answered the phone. His boss's voice came through, telling him to come to headquarters immediately for a meeting.

"I never expected that Ni Yongyao's move would make even headquarters uneasy."

Charlie sighed helplessly, hung up the phone, and headed straight for the airport.

……

Chiayi.

Motorola headquarters, conference room.

All Motorola board members were present in the spacious meeting room.

Charlie sat at the back, cautiously observing the big shots around him.

Each person here could strip him of his position as head of the Hong Kong Island branch with just a single sentence.

After the meeting began, the CEO of Motorola held up two mobile phones.

One phone was the Galaxy II, and the other was a product that resembled a miniature version of a traditional Chinese mobile phone.

"The phone in my left hand is Galaxy Communications' latest release, the Galaxy II. The one in my right hand is our self-developed next-generation phone."

I think you can see that even in terms of appearance alone, our product has already lost.

"CEO Morrison said in a deep voice."

Motorola has been developing a new generation of mobile phones, which it planned to launch soon in order to maintain its dominant position in the communications field.

However, the appearance of Galaxy II caught Motorola off guard.

No one expected that Galaxy Communications could produce such excellent mobile phones, completely crushing Motorola's products.

Motorola's new generation of mobile phones can be said to have been doomed even before it hit the market.

"Charlie, you've been on Hong Kong Island all this time, what are your thoughts?"

Morrison suddenly looked at Charlie and said.

"I……"

Charlie looked helpless; how could he possibly explain the situation with Galaxy II?

"The situation is dire. With Galaxy II already on the market, there's absolutely no need for our phone to be launched, especially since it's priced at a damn HK$8,000!"

Morrison said.

Motorola's phones were extremely expensive to manufacture, making them no match for the Galaxy II, and they couldn't even come up with a low-price sales strategy.

These words made everyone present look ugly.

Everyone knows that if they can't come up with a solution, Galaxy Communications will soon completely dominate the mobile phone market.

"I think it might be possible to collaborate with Ni Yongyao."

At this moment, Charlie spoke up: "We reached a cooperation agreement on Galaxy One not long ago, and I think it might be possible to obtain the overseas agency rights for Galaxy Two."

Galaxy Communications is, after all, a local Hong Kong company with no overseas presence. If they proactively approach Ni Yongyao now, they might be able to secure the overseas distribution rights.

"How sure are you?"

Morrison asked.

"I don't know, but I have to give it a try."

Charlie said.

"Trying is not enough. No matter what method you use, you must reach a cooperation agreement with Ni Yongyao and secure the overseas agency rights. This is crucial to the company's future development!"
