The boot screen of the Bowen phone uses both Chinese and English.
The background shows a person gazing at the starry sky!
Then a sentence appeared.
"Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal!"
This passage is spoken in Chinese, with English subtitles below.
The African father translated this as, "Bowen phones are phones with good intentions!"
...
Two years have passed since Hou Wenjie came into this world.
They stayed in that world much longer than in the previous one, and many things happened there.
Well, in the past year, one day, my little assistant somehow got carried away and confessed her feelings to him!
Who gave him the courage to think he would like her? Hou Wenjie couldn't understand.
Although he didn't understand, Hou Wenjie chose to accept it.
Having suffered so much in two worlds, can't you at least enjoy yourself?
Of course, even though she became his girlfriend, the assistant was still very responsible at work afterwards.
At this year's year-end meeting, Hou Wenjie proposed a new strategic plan.
"Our mobile phone shipments are increasing year by year!"
But the most crucial chip is still sourced from someone else!
Two years have passed. Although we haven't elevated chip technology to a core strategic level, we have still invested a considerable amount of money in it.
I hope to achieve a breakthrough this year. All profits generated from games this year will be invested in mobile phone R&D, with chip development being the top priority!
I want to see a good result.
This meeting determined the general direction of Bowen Company's development for the coming year.
Chip development is essential; if we keep using other people's products, we're just making rebranded products!
After the start of the year, Bowen Mobile's African base remains as solid as a rock!
The company's sales team continues to expand its reach in South America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
After continuing to invest heavily, good news finally came in May.
Bowen Mobile has successfully developed its own chip!
From this moment on, Hou Wenjie could finally stand tall and say, "We have also mastered the core technology!"
Hou Wenjie named the chip "Kunlun S1"!
Nebula System!
Kunlun Chips!
Bowen Battery!
Super fast charging technology!
Bowen camera technology!
More than two years have passed since Hou Wenjie first said he would not make OEM mobile phones.
Two years is a long time; a lot can happen in that time.
Although Bowen mobile phones have no reputation in China, this does not affect their market share in the third world and developing countries.
In October, a clip from CCTV's international news program went viral on the Chinese internet, making Bowen mobile phones known to the Chinese people for the first time.
In the video.
CCTV reporter Bingbing is at a Chinese-aided construction site in Senegal, Africa.
Bingbing held the microphone and spoke into the camera:
"What is being built in front of us now is the Senegalese National Grand Theatre, which was funded and constructed by our country!"
In recent years, my country has been increasing its aid to African countries.
This has strategic significance for cultural exchanges and political mutual trust between China and Africa!
As we can see, there are not only our domestic construction teams but also local Senegalese workers on the construction site.
Let me now interview a Senegalese worker and ask him about his personal impressions of China!
Soon, Bingbing approached a middle-aged man and asked in French:
"Hello, I am a reporter from CCTV in China."
"Hello." The black man smiled.
Bingbing asked, "Could you tell me your feelings about China?"
The Black man replied, "China is very friendly and has helped us."
Bingbing continued, "What do you know about China?"
The black man said:
"I don't know much about China. I only know that there is a Bowen mobile phone factory in China."
Bowen Mobile is the world's greatest mobile phone manufacturer and a friend of all Africans.
Our whole family uses Bowen phones, and many people on this construction site are also saving up to buy one for their families!
At the end, the Black man even said in broken Chinese, "Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal!"
This video was originally posted on the official WeChat account of CCTV-4 (China Central Television's International Channel) and was quickly and widely shared!
The hashtag "#Bowenphone" quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list!
The top question on Zhihu is also, "Who knows about Bowen phones?"
Below the original video, netizens also left numerous comments.
"Hearing that broken Chinese phrase, I don't know why, a sense of national pride welled up inside me!"
"Bowen Mobile Phone Factory is the greatest mobile phone factory in the world, and it's located in China. Why have I never heard of it!"
"I just want to know, what does this Bowen phone have to do with 'The Bowen Legend'?"
"You, 'Bowen Legend,' think you can compete with Bowen Mobile? Go away, where did you get your shills from!"
"The person upstairs has revealed the truth."
My friend works at Bowen Games, specializing in making mobile games that reskin the classic "Legend" game. All the money he earns from these mobile games is used to develop new mobile phones.
Bowen mobile phones are now selling well in Africa, Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and South America.
It is not currently sold in the country.
"The black guy said that a lot of people are saving up to buy Bowen phones for their families, which makes Bowen phones sound really cool!"
“I just came back from Africa a few days ago, so I know this all too well.”
Bowen phones, well, they basically account for 80% of the smartphone market share in Africa!
Bowen phones have much larger battery capacities than typical smartphones, and their fast charging and camera technologies are among the world's leading.
The phone's other specifications are relatively low, targeting the low-end market.
However, Bowen phones use self-developed operating systems and chips, making them a shining example of Chinese technology.
"What's going on? I woke up to find the world's mobile phone landscape completely changed. Did I travel through time?!"
I've never heard of Bowen phones! They're not sold in any major online stores either. Does anyone have one? I really like phones with large-capacity batteries!
...
While netizens were discussing the matter, the official WeChat account of *Caijing News* published a major news article, titled "Taking You into the Rebirth Journey of Bowen Mobile!"
The article begins with the global smartphone shipments of the top ten smartphone manufacturers in the third quarter of this year!
With 93 million units shipped, Bowen Mobile surpassed Sanxin's 78 million units, directly taking the top spot globally!
The main text comes after this data model!
About three years ago, internet giants began to focus on low-end mobile phones, and almost all domestic counterfeit mobile phone factories went bankrupt!
Bowen Mobile Phone Factory was also on the verge of bankruptcy. Its former director, Hou Shiming, died of a heart attack due to excessive pressure.
The company was taken over by his son, Hou Wenjie!
Hou Wenjie has two paths in front of him!
One option is to shut down the factory, take the remaining tens of millions of yuan in the company's accounts, and live a life far more affluent than most people!
One option is to go against the wind and keep the company going.
After making the decision, Hou Wenjie immediately held a meeting to stabilize morale and issued back employee benefits.
He then explained his ideas to the company's key personnel!
He stated that there is no future in making counterfeit mobile phones in China!
He wants to penetrate the African market! There's a much bigger opportunity there.
All major mobile phone manufacturers neglect African users!
So he opened up a new track: he wanted to make a mobile phone that truly met the needs of the African people!
