What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
Reborn in 1984: Starting with the Development of Chinese Character Cards, Chapter 344: Donning the Imperial Robe! On Singles' Day, the high sales volume of Honor phones clearly further stimulated major mobile phone manufacturers, making them all eager to launch their own smartphones as soon as possible.
In less than a month, Wujiang Group reached cooperation agreements with hundreds of mobile phone manufacturers around the world, amounting to more than $75 billion, making a fortune.
"Oh shit, Wujiang Group is simply taking advantage of our misfortune! The prices of mobile phone parts are outrageously high!" Eric Darwin, a Motorola executive, said with a face full of indignation after walking out of the Wujiang Building. If Motorola hadn't been so eager to develop smartphones, it would never have purchased those mobile phone parts from Wujiang Group.
What's most infuriating is that the products Wujiang Group sold to Motorola weren't the most advanced.
At the same time, Wujiang Group also demanded that production orders be outsourced to Wujiang Group for contract manufacturing. While this was certainly a good thing, it would mean that Motorola's mobile phone manufacturing plants in the United States would have to close, which would lead to many Americans losing their jobs.
Looking up at the towering skyscrapers, Eric Darwin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. At that moment, he had to admit that Motorola had declined. Since the launch of the Iridium project in the 1990s, Motorola had been on a downward spiral... Subsequently, its mobile phone market share was overtaken by Xinjiang Group and Nokia.
Not far away, Nokia CEO Ethan O'Casey, with a grim face, got into a car with several employees and drove away.
Eric Darwin, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a little smug.
With the advent of the smartphone era, Motorola may have fallen behind, but Nokia wasn't much better off.
Currently, Nokia and Motorola are at roughly the same starting point, which may be Motorola's chance to rise again.
As Eric Darwin pondered this, his eyebrows lifted, revealing a slight smile.

In this lifetime, China leads the development of the mobile internet, and related industries have experienced explosive growth. China's economic growth has once again achieved a leapfrog growth, which has shocked the world!
It's rare for a country to maintain an economic growth rate of over 25% for an extended period, but China has done it, and for more than two decades, which is truly astonishing.
Some experts predict that China's GDP in 2005 may exceed 18 trillion US dollars.
The US GDP in 2005 was less than $10 trillion.
The gap in economic size between the two countries is widening.
Moreover, in the 1980s and 90s, the United States chose to transform, closing down factories and relocating them to other countries, or transforming and developing high-tech industries, financial services, and so on...
But now it has become the root of America's misfortune.
The United States used to have advanced technology and was able to earn high profits, but now China is the most advanced country in high technology.
In addition, the influx of international capital into China has severely impacted the US financial industry.
As a result, there has been a serious brain drain.
With the loss of technology and factories, and the decline of the financial industry, how could Americans maintain their high level of consumption? This naturally led to a severe economic downturn in the United States.
At that time, large numbers of homeless people could be seen in many cities in the United States.
In addition, Americans like to take drugs. Goodness, when these people walk the streets, they stagger around and look like zombies. It's really terrifying.
The US is printing money again. They have no choice; to maintain the standard of living for Americans and ensure that a large number of low-income Americans receive welfare, they have to print money.
The minimum living allowance in the United States is $900 per month, which is more than 6,000 RMB. Even the income of people in China isn't that high, yet Americans receive over 6,000 RMB on welfare. This is truly baffling!
Moreover, this money was essentially obtained by exploiting the entire world.
The US can use dollars to buy things all over the world; when the US needs money, it just prints more.
However, no one wants to be exploited by the United States forever, so the status of the RMB has become increasingly important, and it has become a very important international settlement currency.
Bilateral trade between China and many countries has been de-dollarized and settled in RMB.
The US dollar has been depreciating significantly since the second half of this year.
For five or six consecutive months, China has been massively selling off US Treasury bonds. Following China's lead, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the UK, France, Germany, and other countries have followed suit.
Japan, a junior partner of the United States, unexpectedly joined the ranks of those selling off US Treasury bonds, becoming a major force in the process.
The US has a debt of two to three trillion US dollars. With so much money, you can imagine how much blood it has sucked from the rest of the world.
While browsing financial news online, Zhao Ye couldn't help but applaud the country's decision to sell off US Treasury bonds.
Since April of this year, with the release of the Wujiang Group's smartphone, China's economy has once again experienced strong growth, and it has the strength to no longer need to give face to the United States. It will have to sell off its US Treasury bonds. China holds a large amount of US Treasury bonds, and the United States is printing money like crazy. In the end, only China will suffer losses.
Knock knock knock!
Zheng Lihui, head of Meituan Waimai, knocked on the door a few times and then came in.
"Chairman Zhao, the Meituan Waimai rider uniforms and custom motorcycle samples are ready!"
As Zheng Lihui spoke, he walked up to Zhao Ye with his tablet and showed him the photos.
The tablet computer is, of course, a product developed by Wujiang Group itself, but it has not yet been launched and is currently undergoing internal employee testing.
Zhao Ye glanced at the photos and nodded. There were four or five sets of rider uniforms, which were similar to what he remembered.
