Chapter 92: Terrible
It broke 10,000 units in five seconds, 100,000 units in one minute, 300,000 units in five minutes, 800,000 units in thirty minutes, and 1 million units in fifty-six minutes, and there was warm applause at the scene.

This data is a significant improvement over the first Huaguang smartphone launched on the market, which took 6 hours to break 100 million.

This time, sales exceeded 60 million in less than 100 minutes. With 500 hours per day, it would have no problem breaking 300 million, let alone million.

According to previous data, sales in 24 hours are often equal to 4 times the sales in one hour, which means that sales in 24 hours may exceed 400 million units, or even higher.

Anyway, there is absolutely no problem in achieving sales of 300 million units, and there is no pressure at all.

Selling 24 million units in 300 hours has already reached the expected target, which is why everyone is so relaxed and happy at the moment.

Of course, this sales volume was only achieved on the first day of the product launch. If this sales volume was achieved every day, it would be incredible.

But that's also impossible.

In 2009, domestic mobile phone sales were approximately 1.75 million units, many of which were feature phones, and sales of smartphones were not large.

On the other hand, the online sales of Samsung I8000 smartphones have also won the support of many loyal fans of Samsung smartphones in China. These consumers don’t care whether the smartphones are made in China or not, whether they are national brands or not, they only care about what brand of smartphones they like. They only pursue the smartphones they like.

However, despite this, the online sales volume of Samsung I8000 smartphone was only 1 units per hour, which was only one-third of the sales volume of Huaguang S smartphone. It can be said to be a complete failure.

Samsung was very annoyed about this failure. If it had lost to a well-known international manufacturer, Samsung could still accept it, but losing to a new company in China was indeed a bit unacceptable.

But in the face of facts, they did fail, and this is an indisputable fact.

After returning home, Shen Ruobing had already known the news. The sales volume of the Huaguang 1S smartphone was three times that of the Samsung I8000 smartphone. When Shen Ruobing heard the news, she found it hard to believe.

Shen Ruobing originally thought that as long as the sales volume did not lag behind Samsung's mobile phones too much, it would be a very good result.

But the facts gave her a big surprise. The sales volume of Huaguang 1S smartphone not only greatly surpassed the sales volume of Samsung I8000 smartphone, but was three times the sales volume of Samsung I8000 smartphone.

This news not only shocked Shen Ruobing, but also many domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Even Apple was shocked. Apple has already released the Apple 3GS mobile phone this year. The suggested retail price of the 8GP in China is 3999 yuan, but in fact it is much more than that.

The price of a 16GP contract phone is as high as 6980 yuan. Even after the price reduction, the price is still as high as 5880 yuan. Such a price makes many people discouraged.

In 2009, Apple iPhone signed a three-year entry agreement with China's second largest telecommunications operator, and the iPhone 3GS version began to be sold in mainland China. This was considered the beginning of Apple's large-scale entry into the Chinese market.

The high price and limited quantity, coupled with China's ban on the use of standard 802.11 WiFi for security reasons, meant that the iPhone's early sales were not optimistic.

The telecommunications operator sold only 10 iPhones in more than a month, while in some other countries, the sales of iPhone 3GS reached 100 million units in just one week.

In 2009, domestic media reported that compared with other well-known IT or consumer electronics companies, Apple's investment in the Chinese market was very limited, and it rarely held localized activities such as marketing promotions, let alone the public welfare and social responsibility that other foreign companies had begun to pay attention to.

It is understood that in Apple's global supply system, the Chinese mainland market is at the same level as North Korea and Vietnam and is a marginalized region.

As is Apple's practice, its products first meet demand in the United States, then in Europe and Japan. Since Apple's Asia-Pacific headquarters is located in Singapore, China is given priority after Southeast Asia.

At this time in 2009, Apple didn't even have a single store in China.

This is also the most important reason why Apple 3GS mobile phone has only sold more than 10 phones in China after more than a month of sales.

But when they heard that a domestic technology company in China launched a smart phone, priced at 4999 yuan, and sold three to four million units in a single day, Apple's top executives were extremely shocked.

It turns out that the domestic market in China is so big, there are so many rich people in China, and the consumption capacity in China is not bad!

Therefore, Apple must pay attention to the domestic market in China.

Soon, some consumers also found that the Huaguang 1S smartphone, whether compared with the Apple 3GS smartphone or the Samsung I8000 smartphone, was not inferior to the smartphones of these two big manufacturers in terms of software and hardware configuration, signal reception, camera function, music playback function, Internet speed, and user experience.

For example, the screen of the Huaguang 1S mobile phone is a 4.0-inch super large screen, while the screen of the Apple 3GS mobile phone is a 3.5-inch screen, and the screen of the Samsung I8000 smart phone is a 3.7-inch screen. In terms of screen size, the Huaguang 1S smart phone far outdoes the latest smart phones launched by these two companies.

In addition, Apple 3G mobile phone only has a rear camera, and Samsung I8000 smartphone also only has a rear camera.

In terms of pixels, the front camera of the Huaguang 1S mobile phone has 800 million pixels and the rear camera has 1200 million pixels, while the rear camera of the Samsung I8000 smartphone has only 500 million pixels, and the pixel of the Apple 3G mobile phone is only 300 million.

In terms of battery capacity, standby time, talk time, Internet access time, video playback time, WiFi usage time, and music playback time, the Huaguang 1S mobile phone is not inferior. What's more important is that the Huaguang 1S mobile phone has a fast charging function and can be charged quickly.

In terms of processor and mobile phone operating system, Huaguang 1S mobile phone uses Qualcomm MSM6290 processor, and also adds a processor newly developed by the company. Dual processors are used on the same mobile phone, which, in conjunction with Huaguang intelligent operating system, makes the operation of the mobile phone device smoother.

In short, after various comparisons, smart consumers found that buying the Huaguang 1S smartphone is still very cost-effective and the experience when using it is also very good.

The key is that the price is much cheaper than the Apple 3GS mobile phone. Due to the limited supply of the Apple 3GS mobile phone, you often need to make an appointment when you want to buy it, and it is only sold with a contract. When you buy the phone, you must accept the service of that telecommunications operator.

The problem is that many people think that the second largest mobile phone operator in China does not have a wide coverage. In addition, the signal reception of Apple phones is a bit weak, and the price of contract phones is so expensive, which makes many consumers reluctant to buy Apple 3GS phones. In addition, Apple 3G phones do not support some domestic WiFi access functions, which makes some consumers even more unwilling to accept it.

Now is the time when 3G network is just beginning to be promoted and popularized, and data charges are very expensive. If you cannot access WiFi to access the Internet, the cost of using data alone will be a very considerable expense.

With these multiple factors, it is no surprise that the Huaguang 1S smartphone became a hot seller as soon as it was launched.

Although sales began to decline slowly after the first day of launch, after stabilizing, the two models of Huaguang 1 and Huaguang 1S had no problem selling one to two million units a month in the domestic market.

While meeting domestic sales, we must also meet the needs of overseas markets, further expand our influence in overseas markets, and strive for more overseas market share.

"Yang Hai! You are awesome! Our Huaguang 1S mobile phone was launched and was a huge success."

Shen Ruobing excitedly threw herself into Yang Hai's arms, hugged him and said.

"Be careful, don't fall. You have such a big belly, and you should behave yourself." Yang Hai hurriedly hugged Shen Ruobing and reminded her.

"I'm so happy! I didn't expect that the sales of our Huaguang 1S mobile phone would be so hot after it was launched on the market. It's really exciting." Shen Ruobing said with a smile.

"Isn't this normal? I have told you a long time ago that our competitors in the domestic market, including our future international competitors, have never been Samsung, but Apple." Yang Hai said with a smile.

"I know Apple! Their market is mainly in Europe and the United States. Although the Apple 3GS mobile phone has been launched in our country, more than a month has passed, and only more than 10 units have been sold. It shouldn't have much impact on the sales of our Huaguang mobile phones, right?" Shen Ruobing said indifferently.

"That was before Apple entered our domestic market, and Apple didn't pay much attention to our Chinese market. But in the future, Apple will definitely pay great attention to our domestic market," said Yang Hai.

"Once Apple starts to pay attention to our domestic market, it will definitely become our strongest competitor in the future."

"There are many other brands of mobile phones in our country. Their development will become more and more mature and their technology will become more and more perfect. So it is not that Huaguang Technology Company has no competitors, but that we will have many competitors."

"So we can't be complacent. The pace of development can't stop for a moment, and research and development work can't stop."

"Electronic products are updated very quickly. We have to launch new products every year and make technological breakthroughs every year. Otherwise, we will regress. Once we fail to lead in technology and surpass our competitors, the market will soon be occupied by other brands."

Shen Ruobing nodded and said, "Market competition will always exist. No matter what we do, we can never occupy the entire market."

"I think we can also launch some relatively low-end products. Only when we have a full range of high, medium and low-end products can we satisfy more consumers and occupy more market share."

"Besides, isn't our Huaguang Technology Company developing tablets and computers? Once these products are on the market, we will have an even greater advantage."

"So don't put too much pressure on yourself. As long as we try our best, that's enough."

"You have introduced so many technical R&D talents. I believe that you will be able to innovate in technology in the future and will not lag behind others."

"Yeah! I also know that as long as we try our best, it is enough. No one knows what the future will be like, and we can't care so much." Yang Hai nodded and said.

"What I am most worried about is the mobile phone's operating system. I hope I can always win in future competitions!"

"Isn't our Huaguang mobile phone intelligent operating system very good? It runs very smoothly. What problems will there be in the future?" Shen Ruobing couldn't understand Yang Hai's worries.

But Yang Hai knows in his heart that many of the mobile phone smart operating systems on the market will eventually become history, and only Android and Apple systems will survive.

Windows Phone system, produced by Microsoft, can run its own applications extremely smoothly with hardware configuration far lower than that of its competitors.

Isn’t Microsoft’s operating system smooth to use? Obviously, a good operating system is useless if it is smooth. Without applications and developer support, what is the point of using a smooth operating system?

What is important is the issue of system software ecology. Smoothness is only one of the moats of the mobile operating system. What is more important are the app store, app cloud services, AirPlay, AirDrop, etc.

Hardware is also critical. In short, all of them are indispensable. You need to make it easier for developers to develop various application apps, and let developers support your system to form a good system ecology. Only then can your operating system survive.

Therefore, Yang Hai attaches great importance to the research and development, upgrading and updating of the Huaguang operating system. He requires regular upgrading and updating of the operating system to optimize various functions of the operating system.

If a mobile phone operating software does not support QR code payment when it comes, can your operating system survive? Will consumers still be willing to use your phone?
Yes, Microsoft’s mobile operating system is so weird that it doesn’t even support mobile phone QR code payment, so it was eventually eliminated by the times.

Of course, Yang Hai does not want his Huaguang operating system to be eliminated in this way.

Therefore, Yang Hai has always required that the software development team of the Huaguang operating system must always pay attention to keep up with the development of the times, meet the needs of users, and update some system functions in a timely manner. They must not be eliminated by the times.

"The mobile phone operating system market is now in an era of fierce competition. In the future, only two or three mobile phone operating systems will be able to survive in the end, and the rest will be eliminated," Yang Hai explained.

"No way, is it that serious? If so, then only two or three mobile phone manufacturers will be able to survive? All other brands of mobile phones will go bankrupt and exit the market." Shen Ruobing said in disbelief.

"Wouldn't it be a very large monopoly? If no mobile phone manufacturer in our country can survive, wouldn't we be even more controlled by others in the future? The situation you describe is too terrible."
