Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology Chapter 355

Leader Ou said excitedly: "When Nokia's staff were visiting Huaqiangbei, they saw many young people queuing up to buy MP3s. They also picked up people and went over to take a look."

"It was found that these young people were buying Lingyue Youth MP3, and on the MP3 display counter, there was a promotional slogan that one charge and a full week of standby."

With the description of the leader Ou, Chen Xiao knew the cause and effect of the incident.

The Nokia staff who came to Xiaguo were looking for low-cost and high-performance lithium batteries.

I saw the slogan of Lingyue Youth Edition MP3 saying that it has long battery life. Of course, I am very interested in Lingyue Youth Edition MP3.

Nokia's staff immediately bought the Ling MP3 and took it back for research.

It's okay not to study this, but a study was taken aback.

The lithium battery used in Lingyue MP3 has a much higher energy density than the Panasonic and Sony that Nokia purchased before.

Moreover, Nokia's staff evaluated the price of Lingyue MP3 and found that such a low price could not use such an expensive lithium battery.

Taking Lingyue MP3 as a clue, Nokia found a supplier of lithium batteries, and finally found Jiangzhou.

The Xia Kingdom in 2002 was not completely open, so after Nokia came to Jiangzhou, it was not the first time to find Changtian Technology and Changtian Technology for negotiation, but after investigating the performance of Changtian Technology's lithium battery. Jiangzhou government.

It is hoped that the Jiangzhou government can act as an introducer and help Nokia get this batch of lithium batteries.

This is the case in this era. It is much more convenient to find a relationship with an acquaintance than to talk directly on your own.

After learning about the price related to the lithium battery factory of Changtian Technology, Nokia asked for 100,000 lithium batteries, with a total value of about 4 million.

Lithium batteries are still very expensive these days.

This is still the first batch of goods. If Changtian Technology has the ability to take orders, then Nokia will have a second batch of third batches or even more orders in the follow-up.

Although Jiangzhou is the provincial capital and a second-tier city, it is not easy to get millions of orders.

The relevant departments in Jiangzhou did not even consider the production capacity of Changtian Technology, so they agreed to this matter directly, and then let the relevant departments connect with the lithium battery factory of Changtian Technology. I hope that Changtian Technology can find a way. Try to meet Nokia's orders.

Leader Ou said at the end of the call: "Chen Xiao, I know that you are very capable, and your company is also in a leading position in the industry." "Nokia, as a world-renowned communications company, would be able to take this order. , this will also greatly improve the status of Jiangzhou, I hope you must support Jiangzhou a lot!"

Chen Xiao doesn't yet know what the factory's production capacity is, so he can only agree to it first.

However, there was one thing that made Chen Xiao a little puzzled.

Now the most important battery in the mobile phone market is nickel-chromium battery.

Nickel-cadmium batteries are more stable and cheaper. The only disadvantage is that the battery life is not very sufficient.

Wouldn't it be nice for Nokia to use cheaper nickel-chromium batteries? Why use lithium batteries?

Chen Xiao first came to the lithium electronics factory, and then asked Wang Xiang to check the development of Nokia in recent years and the sales volume in the global market.

Although Chen Xiao was born again, he didn't remember such details clearly.

He knows that Nokia has become a generation of machine gods after the Symbian system came out, and he also knows that Nokia has fallen from the altar with the popularity of Android and Apple smartphones.

However, Chen Xiao must not remember the specific time node and many details.

Therefore, it is necessary for him to understand the development of Nokia.

Soon, Wang Xiang sent the relevant information to Chen Xiao's mailbox.

Displayed according to the data.

The sales of Nokia's mobile phones in Xiaguo are not bad, but there is still a certain gap compared with Motorola, Samsung and Sony.

After all, most of the mobile phones sold in the market in 2002 were also feature phones, and all mobile phones had similar functions, mainly making calls and sending text messages.

Everyone buys mobile phones mainly based on word of mouth and brands.

At this time, Nokia did not have the reputation of the later brick phone, and the mobile phone brands that most consumers heard the most were Motorola and Samsung.

Motorola's prices are slightly more moderate, while Samsung's prices are higher.

Motorola has accumulated a good reputation because of its deep cultivation in the Xiaguo market for many years, so it has fixed users and groups.

However, his mobile phone looks moderate, and most of the groups are middle-aged people with successful careers.

And Samsung has taken the fashion and business lines at the same time. As the Korean Wave gradually enters the Xia Kingdom, more and more urban men and women in the Xia Kingdom admire and envy which Samsung mobile phones are used by the hero and heroine in the Korean drama.

The effect of stars and TV series, coupled with the appearance of Samsung, will be more fashionable, so even if its price is relatively high, it can be welcomed by young people in first- and second-tier cities.

Nokia is the most embarrassing position. It can't go up and down and can't go down. Now it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Among the materials sent by Wang Xiang, Chen Xiao found a very critical description on the last page of the materials.

Nokia has carried Symbian mobile phones on a large scale in Europe and the United States.

Affected by the Symbian system, Nokia's sales in Europe and the United States have increased significantly in recent years.

Well, the answer is out.

Saipan system has begun to popularize in Western markets.

As the main mobile phone manufacturer of Symbian system, Nokia has made a lot of money in the European and American markets.

However, at this time, neither the motorcycle nor the Samsung brand has reacted.

Xia Guo often because the per capita consumption power is relatively low, so Nokia did not use his most advanced Symbian mobile phone.

Why is Nokia globally looking for cheap lithium batteries?

The most fundamental reason is that after the mobile phone is equipped with the Saipan system, the power consumption has surged.

The Saipan system has just been popularized on a large scale, and many consumers have not yet switched their thinking from feature phones to smartphones, and are not used to charging them once a day.

Therefore, most consumers still have certain requirements for the battery life of mobile phones.

If Nokia wants to increase the battery life of Symbian phones, there are two ways.

The first solution is to use bulky nickel-cadmium batteries.

If you want to continue to use that battery~www.mtlnovel.com~, then the volume of the battery will be very large, and it will greatly increase the weight of the battery and the mobile phone.

Today, when a consensus has gradually formed on the thinning and lightness of mobile phones, increasing battery life at the expense of the size and weight of mobile phones will not be accepted by most consumers.

The second option is to use lithium batteries with higher energy density.

But at present, there are only a few manufacturers that can produce high-quality bottom batteries in the world, such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and so on.

Although the energy density of lithium battery is very high, its cost is high.

In order to maintain its own sales in the European market and the US market, Nokia can only search for lithium batteries with relatively moderate prices and high quality on a global scale.

Only then did he find the head of Changtian Technology.

Chen Xiao's breathing was a little heavy.

The era of the first generation of mobile phones has arrived, and the era of Saipan has also arrived.

Do you want a piece of the pie in this era?
