The release of mobile phone numbers means that some networks can be used, so the sale of mobile phones will be carried out accordingly.
This is five months earlier than the previous life.
The previous life was the GH337 newly developed and released by Aili on January 1, 1996.
After the number allocation ceremony, China's first GSM mobile phone sales ceremony was held in China Unicom's business hall.
Minister of Information Industry Wu Chuan gave a speech first, followed by the CEO of China Unicom.
After they finished speaking, Wan Feng, the product supplier, also said a few words.
He mainly introduced the various features of his own product HG1001. After his speech, the first batch of HG1001 was officially released on the market.
Now, except for the leaders of the Ministry of Information Industry and China Unicom, no one else knows the true appearance of this batch of mobile phones.
The CEO of China Unicom unveiled the red cloth on a promotional board, and HG1001 finally revealed its true appearance in the spotlight.
The picture on the promotional board is the concept map of HG1001.
HG1001 uses the model of the previous generation's Nojiya 3120. The only difference from 3120 is that HG1001 has an external antenna as long as the filter of a filter cigarette.
The Nojiya 3120 has a built-in antenna.
Although this phone is much larger than the 3120 prototype, it is still much smaller and more exquisite than the mobile phones at the time. In addition, its more streamlined appearance and the huge LCD screen in the middle are enough to attract everyone's attention.
There was warm applause in the hall.
Then Wan Feng opened a box and took out a real phone, introducing the size and weight of the phone.
"This phone is 121mm long, 44.8mm wide, 20mm thick, and weighs 153g. It costs 6,000 yuan and comes with a 220V charger."
This price is comparable to the current price of mobile phones on the market and is slightly cheaper.
The people in the hall were very skeptical when they heard the data reported by Wan Feng.
Isn’t this too small, especially since it’s only two centimeters thick?
But everyone's doubts disappeared when they saw Wan Feng holding the phone high above his head, and the price was surprisingly only 6,000 yuan.
This time, those who wanted to buy the first batch of mobile phones became enthusiastic. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heated and there was even a certain degree of chaos.
People who were originally just looking at it also began to think about buying it after hearing the price.
"Everyone, don't crowd. We've distributed 10,000 cell phones this time. Even if we combine the floor sweepers in this hall, there are only a few hundred people. We guarantee everyone can get a phone. The key is that you have to prepare the money. Without it, you won't get a phone."
After Wan Feng finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
There are only about 1,800 people in this hall. Since the other party has prepared 10,000 mobile phones, you are guaranteed to be able to buy what you want. It’s just a matter of sooner or later.
After the chaos in the hall had subsided, the CEO of China Unicom announced that China's first 2G mobile phone was on sale.
The phone was packed in a white cardboard box, which contained a Chinese and English instruction manual and a charger.
Those who were present today and could afford mobile phones were the most successful people in China at that time. Most of them were bosses of state-owned and private enterprises, and government officials.
These people are all well-educated people. They lined up with money to buy mobile phones. As there were four rows in the queue, the queue was shortened very quickly.
Of the first batch of 10,000 mobile phones delivered, 1,043 were sold that morning.
After the launch ceremony, sales will begin in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen tomorrow.
HG1001 will be sold nationwide through China Unicom's sales offices in major cities.
Of course, in addition to China Unicom’s business halls, Huaguang’s electronic product direct sales stores across the country also have stock available.
China Unicom gives Huaguang a 300 yuan discount on each mobile phone it sells.
If there were no 300 yuan discount, Wanfeng would have sold this phone for 5,800 yuan.
If it were sold for 5,800 yuan, people would be even more shocked and enthusiastic.
Beijing has not yet achieved city-wide signal coverage, but several central districts are basically covered.
Because the first batch of people who bought this phone ran out to the streets to test the signal, actually they were just showing off in front of others.
An interesting scene appeared on the street outside China Unicom’s headquarters, with countless people holding their mobile phones and shouting “wai wai wai” on the street.
Some people who were riding bicycles home from work at noon were pushed onto the curb by these crooked bicycles.
According to the feedback from many people who have tested it, the signal is very clear and the transmission speed does not have a delay of several seconds like that of mobile phones.
These two are enough, everything else is secondary.
With these conditions supporting it, it is hard for HG1001 not to be popular.
But even if it becomes popular, it will take about three years for this phone to completely replace the current generation of mobile phones on the market.
After HG1001 went on sale, Huaguang began to reduce the production of HG101 from 60,000 units per month to 30,000 units per month.
Although Huaguang Electronics and Huaguang Technology have already stockpiled 200,000 mobile phones in the early stage, the two factories are still producing at a rate of 80,000 units per month.
Wanfeng expects the sales volume of this mobile phone to be one million units in the next three years, which is a conservative estimate.
Of course we need to step up production.
After finishing his work on the mobile phone, Wan Feng stopped by to visit some old friends in Beijing, including Wan Shouwu from 109 and Wang Desheng from Jingdongfang. Wan Feng gave each of them an HG1001.
