The company's global turnover in 2002 reached US$12.8 billion, more than half of which came from markets outside the United States.

Kodak's total global employee base is about 70,000, of which 39,000 are in the United States. The company has production bases in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and China.

Selling a large variety of imaging products to almost every country in the world. By 2012, the number of employees around the world dropped to only more than 10,000.

Kodak's fall is an example in the history of technological development. In fact, not only his family, but also Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia, which were once rampant.

It is all because I am intoxicated by sitting in my own glory, and I ignore the rapid development of science and technology in this era, and thus I am obscured in the long river of history.

Otherwise, with their strength, which one of them will be defeated by others if they use a large amount of funds to do research and development?

As long as they keep up with the pace of the times, they will be ahead of others by relying on their brand advantages. However, they have not been able to see the general situation clearly, and blindly sit on their own credit book and watch the sky, and have abandoned their martial arts.

In fact, these are all decision makers’ mistakes. Such examples are common in the history of human development. Therefore, only if a company has a good leader, it may not be eliminated.

Haitangguo Company is undoubtedly such a company. This company was founded by Jobs, but it declined because of his departure.

But with his return and shining again, their current computers and laptops are the thinnest. They also have their own operating systems, so they basically have no dependence on other companies.

And they also have their own mobile phones, and the system of the key mobile phones is also theirs. Although they are not outstanding in front of many big-name mobile phones, they are already well-known to many people.

At present, the domestic mobile phone market is actually very chaotic. In addition to a few major foreign and domestic brands, assembly machines are also rampant.

Copycat machines flowing out of Guangzhou, Shenzhen can be seen everywhere. These copycat machines are not only seen everywhere in the wholesale shop street in Huaqiangbei, but also sales staff from some manufacturers have simply traveled all over the country.

In addition to retailing in their own stores, they also supply local retailers, because they are all smuggled products from Hong Kong Island, so the price is extremely low.

The key is that this copycat phone is very low, but it is not unavailable. Some functions in some aspects are more powerful than brand phones.

Because they abandoned many functions of branded machines, they instead enhanced the microphone volume and game functions, for some low-end people, they prefer these counterfeit goods.

There is another best way to sell their products, which is OEM. Ericsson Motorola and Nokia, you can choose from any brand.

I remember a joke, a man who moved bricks saved up for a month to buy a mobile phone. After picking it up, he fell in love with a 500-yuan one.

But after looking at it, I didn’t know what brand it was, so I asked the salesperson. Seeing that he was a bit rustic, the salesperson said to him directly, "You are suitable for this mobile phone, you should not fall, and you are not afraid of being squeezed. If it breaks, you can take it back and replace it at any time."

The eldest brother hesitated: "Didn't they say Nokia's best? That one is not afraid of falling."

The salesperson replied: "This is Nokia, the brand has not been posted to you yet."

After saying that, the salesperson took out a trademark and posted it. The eldest brother took his cell phone and returned to the construction site with satisfaction.

After returning to the construction site, the workers also liked the phone very much. Everyone took turns to watch it, and even took the opportunity to call home.

The last person with a Nokia phone compared his phone for a long time. He found that it looked better than his phone, but the trademark was incorrect, so he asked the contractor.

The contractor smiled as soon as he saw it: "This is the Motorola trademark, you can tell if you look at me."

When everyone saw that it was indeed Motorola. Everyone said it was good, but Motorola was not as strong as Nokia.

My brother was dissatisfied all of a sudden. I wanted Nokia for the sake of strength. Why did you give me Motorola? That was used by the foreman. What if I broke it?

After coming to the mobile phone store, the elder brother asked for a return, saying that he wanted Nokia and he didn't want this Motorola.

The salesperson patted his head and said that this was Nokia, and the brand was wrong. He immediately shoveled the brand and replaced it with Nokia.

Now the elder brother went back with satisfaction. When the workers saw that the phone was really Nokia, they all liked it very much. Then someone went to buy it in this store one after another.

This is a large construction site. In half a month, more than 200 mobile phones were sold in this store.

When working, the mixer, elevator and vibrator ring so much, and everyone can hear the ringing ring clearly when the call comes.

On the contrary, the Motorola, the contractor's contractor, had to call someone else, otherwise he would not hear it at all. The mobile phones of these workers under him were fine.

Finally, the contractor was so angry that he bought a similar one like everyone else. The Motorola only brought it with him when he was talking about business.

This matter sounds like a joke, but it is very representative. At that time, the people actually didn't care about the brand. They just cared about whether they could hear it by calling? Other functions were useless to them.

There are also the mini games that come with counterfeit phones, which are much more fun than those of branded phones. It was from that time that a real mobile phone family was found.

At that time, the mobile phone could not load chat software, and if you wanted to chat, you would make phone calls and send telecommunications. At that time, the screen of the mobile phone was the size of a matchbox, so it was not that exciting to play.

But for migrant workers from other places, having such a thing at night is enough to pass the boring life.

Although the market seems disorderly, real manufacturers understand that a major change in mobile phones is coming soon.

Since January 2000, NTT DoCoMo, the largest telecom operator in Japan, launched the first officially launched color screen mobile phone D502?i, which realized people's "color dream". Unfortunately, since the network used in Japan is different from the GSM and CDMA network technology in China, basically this type of mobile phone cannot be used in non-Japanese areas.

It is also this transformation of mobile phone screens that has led to the transformation of mobile phones from simple communication tools to smart terminals.

Junken Mechanical and Electrical's mobile phone chips are basically self-sufficient, but they have not yet been supplied to the domestic market in large quantities. Ye Yuze is waiting for an opportunity. The technology has long been mature, and mass production is only a matter of time.
