January 1, 1970, PHS mobile phone store in Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island.
The long queue stretched to a block two kilometers away, and many white and Chinese police had to come out to maintain order.
Those scalpers were very arrogant in taking orders, saying that one person could take ten orders, or even more than a hundred orders.
As a result, he was quickly slapped in the face.
Because there is a notice posted at the entrance of the store, one person is only allowed to purchase two mobile phones.
Because of this restriction, many consumers who were shopping for their families were suddenly stunned.
But there is no choice, either go to the back and wait in line, or leave.
No one dares to disobey the rules of the PHS mobile phone company. Those who dare to do so will naturally not be able to buy a mobile phone.
Faced with the tough attitude of PHS, consumers are unable to complain.
Yang Siqi happened to pass by this specialty store and was curious when she saw such a lively scene.
After returning to Prince's Building, she threw herself into her work and was very dedicated.
It wasn't until noon that I heard cheers coming from the office area next door.
She couldn't help but hold the water glass curiously, pretending to go to the tea room to pour water.
Then I overheard the Little Bee mobile phones sold so far in two specialty stores on Hong Kong Island.
Almost everyone bought two mobile phones, and in just one morning, 10,800 mobile phones were sold.
The reason why there are such outrageous data is that the sales staff are so fast because they already have experience.
You can't see any specialty stores here in Prince's Building, but you can see from a high vantage point that there are long queues on the streets below.
In the same building, on the top floor of the Global Shipping Group, Bao Yugang also stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the team below with emotion.
After watching the press conference some time ago, he felt that Zhou Jimin's delay in selling mobile phones showed his incomprehension.
Even now I still haven’t figured it out why?
After all, PHS Mobile Phone Company’s Little Bee mobile phone, even though it has powerful functions, is still too expensive at the price of 4,999.
More than that, there are restrictions on sales, quantity sales, etc.
Are you using these methods because you are afraid that you will sell too much?
In this way, wouldn’t it allow scalpers to take advantage of the loophole?
As the saying goes, if you have money, don’t make a bastard.
As a super genius, Zhou Jimin may be very good at technology, but in terms of marketing, he may not be so good?
However, looking at the long queue below, Bao Yugang fell into deep thought.
On the other side of the Yangtze River Industrial Company, Li Jiacheng saw this long queue and was also unable to understand it.
However, he doesn't worry too much.
After all, he is only interested in making money and has no interest in technology.
In terms of the speed of making money, building a house is easier.
Among the wealthy people on the entire island, almost all of them build houses.
But things are different now, there is an additional high-tech company.
It seems that's not all. Apple Group, Qihang Group, etc. are also quite profitable.
Not only Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and other rich people are paying attention to the sales data of Little Bee mobile phones, ordinary citizens are also very gossipy. How many mobile phones can be sold?
The busy New Year's Day has passed, and the days have passed, and major newspapers continue to publish yesterday's news.
The melon-eaters looked at these reports and felt that they were not very satisfying.
Although I continue to pay attention to these news, I have not seen the sales data that everyone wants.
In the villa on the top of the mountain, Qin Jingru and the others were also paying attention to the news. When they did not see the specific sales data, they were equally disappointed.
"Mom, is dad's Little Bee mobile phone not selling well? Why is there no data coming out?"
Hearing Zhou Qingyue's words, Xu Mei shook her head, how did she know this?
Guan Ling said, how about calling Ji Zhengxiong?
If others don’t know, then Ji Zhengxiong must know it, right?
If that doesn't work, then just ask Zhou Jimin directly.
He can definitely see the specific sales data.
At this time, Zhou Jimin was in Oasis New City, busy with his own affairs.
Whether it’s a Little Bee mobile phone or a computer, everything he can do has been done.
The specific results will definitely not disappoint him.
It is now the 1970s, and the spacecraft plan that has been shelved for several months is about to begin test flights.
No matter how the global economy develops, your own strength must be strong enough.
In this era, the development of aviation is definitely one of the criteria for measuring a country's strength.
Zhou Jimin doesn't know how the international community is changing, but he knows it very well, because the satellites being sent into the sky one after another have also made the country more stable and more confident when facing threats from other countries.
When Zhou Jimin came out of the laboratory and turned on his mobile phone, he received the global sales data of LittleBee mobile phones sent by Liang Wenfeng.
In Hong Kong Island alone, 56,000 units were sold, and the data exploded.
However, the population of Hong Kong Island is too small and the consumption power is very limited. It is estimated to be around hundreds of thousands, which has reached a bottleneck.
As for Bald Eagle, Great Britain and other regions, the data can only be said to be average, because the consumption power has not been fully developed, and due to the influence of specialty stores, even if the salesperson is very fast, the number of products sold in a day is still very high.
Limited.
Not to mention that Bald Eagle and other places will get off work when the time comes and have no intention of working overtime.
Therefore, in this area, only 85 units of Bald Eagle are sold in one day.
Including Europe, Oceania, Japan, South America and other countries and regions, the global daily sales volume has exceeded 2.8 million units.
This data is already very impressive.
The global sales data of this game console, Alien Invasion, only sold 500,000 units in half a year.
Of course, there are still very big differences between game consoles and mobile phones.
Therefore, the Little Bee mobile phone has received global promotion, press conferences, advertisements, etc. It can be said that the PHS mobile phone company has spent tens of millions of dollars on early promotion.

These are real money, not false propaganda.
Calculated based on the price of US$4,999, the total sales of 2.8 million Little Bee mobile phones would be US$1.3972 billion.
Such an astonishing sales figure in one day would definitely shock the world if it were released.
In fact, a thoughtful person can calculate these data.
No, on the third day after New Year's Day, many media here in Bald Eagle helped PHS Cell Phone Company calculate it.
The approximate figures are 700,000 in the Bald Eagle area, 380,000 in Great Britain, plus one in other areas, for a total of more than 2.5 million.
Therefore, the approximate figure calculated in the newspaper is about 1.25 billion.
Even though it was just an estimated figure, the newspaper was sold out immediately after it was reported.
Even then, the newspaper continued to print another 500,000 copies, but they were all sold out.
One can imagine the sensation this incident caused.
Ordinary people saw the analysis in this report and nodded secretly.
Because there are long queues in every specialty store, we can roughly calculate how many LittleBee phones each salesperson can sell per hour.
Because of this, this analysis report is so popular and everyone recognizes this data.
Most people just take it for granted and are shocked by the powerful ability of the PHS mobile phone company to attract money.
However, when capitalists like Alex saw this newspaper, their eyes widened and they all gasped.
all in mobile phone industry!
This is almost what most capitalists thought of after reading this report.
Because I made $1.25 billion in one day, there is nothing crazier than this.
Even if the cost accounts for half, or even 70%, of this money, there will still be a net profit of several hundred million US dollars.
What kind of business can you do now to make such a profit?
This report quickly spread to Hong Kong Island. Pao Yugang and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng looked at the newspaper and were speechless for a long time.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
Li Jiacheng was also staring at the newspaper in a daze. Is this the strength of technological innovation?
It's really scary!
Seeing such a profitable little bee mobile phone, Li Jiacheng couldn't help but find his subordinates and started a relationship, hoping to have a chat with Zhou Jimin.
The Governor's Office, the Taipan of HSBC Bank, the major shareholders of Jardine Matheson Land, and many Hong Kong wealthy people sent invitation letters to Zhou Jimin.
However, no one knows Zhou Jimin’s address on Hong Kong Island.
If he didn't announce it himself, it would be impossible for outsiders to know.
Because in many offices such as Prince's Building and Great Wall Building, Zhou Jimin has his own private office.
These offices are all equipped with fully equipped lounges, which are no different from a home.
In addition, Zhou Jimin does not often stay on Hong Kong Island, so it is normal for outsiders to not be able to find Zhou Jimin’s address.
Therefore, the invitation letters were accepted by the company's front desk, and Ji Zhengxiong sent a briefing to Zhou Jimin for confirmation.
Zhou Jimin, who was far away in Xincheng, smiled happily after seeing the news.
Although he is developing in Hong Kong Island, he even talked to the Governor and the police in person before.
But these people have changed over the years.
"Let's hold a cocktail party at the villa on the top of the mountain, and then just invite these people to come and chat."
After all, these people are prominent figures in Hong Kong Island, so Zhou Jimin must give them some face.
As for what these people think specifically, what does that have to do with him?
Anyway, it is impossible for him to give these people any help.
If they want to enter the mobile phone industry, then he is still very welcome.
You are welcome to come in and make this industry bigger and stronger, and then you will be killed by Zhou Jimin.
After Ji Zhengxiong received the news, he said he understood.
Later, Zhou Jimin informed Qin Jingru and the others that one of the villas on the top of the mountain would be used as the venue for the reception, so that they could be mentally prepared.
On the top of the mountain, Zhou Jimin bought several villas.
There are two of them that are usually not occupied by anyone.
I just send people to clean the house from time to time.
After all, Qin Jingru and the others all live together and have accepted the concubine’s behavior.
In Hong Kong Island, the aunty and aunty style is really popular.
As long as you have money, who cares how many concubines you marry?
Before October 1971, Chinese in Hong Kong Island could take concubines in accordance with the "Regulations of the Qing Dynasty".
Although this is very ridiculous, this is Hong Kong Island.
A strange multi-integrated immigrant city, a place ‘deliberately’ managed by the governor.
It was not until after October 7, 1971, that the Marriage Reform Ordinance in Hong Kong Island was promulgated, and concubinage was abolished.
But even so, it still keeps happening.
Of course, Zhou Jimin has no intention of making them public. There is no need or necessity.
Even if the media makes groundless reports, Zhou Jimin will not allow it.
Apple Daily has been developing on Hong Kong Island for so many years and is no longer an ordinary newspaper.
In addition, Zhou Jimin had consciously invested in television stations such as TVB earlier. It can be said that his power in the media is not small.
Three TV stations including TVB on Hong Kong Island were established in 1967. At that time, only three TV licenses were issued.
At that time, Zhou Jimin asked the advisory team to find someone to invest.
Therefore, with such strong media strength, Zhou Jimin is not afraid that small newspapers dare to report his gossip.
Soon the day of the reception arrived. Zhou Jimin only showed up at the scene and left within ten minutes.
After that, I had a private chat with the Governor and a few more important people, and it was over in less than an hour.
Ji Zhengxiong and the others will handle the rest.
Anyway, they are familiar with the road, and any subsequent matters will be negotiated by them.
Zhou Jimin doesn't know how to engage in these social interactions. It's probably unnecessary and it's a waste of time.
The reason why I took the initiative to hold such a cocktail party was just to meet each other.
Seeing Zhou Jimin quietly returning home soon, Qin Jingru and the others were stunned.
It took less than an hour and a half, and it was over so quickly?
Generally speaking, doesn’t the reception last two or three hours?
Regarding their surprise, Zhou Jimin briefly explained, and then they were relieved.
It is very important to maintain the personality of a genius. Besides, he is also a genius himself.
Rich people such as Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, Henry Joseph, etc. originally thought they could have a few private conversations with Zhou Jimin.
Unexpectedly, they really just came to show their faces and then disappeared.
Despite this, they did not dare to show dissatisfaction.
Instead, he chatted with Ji Zhengxiong and the others with a smile on his face to extract useful information.
At the same time, I would like to ask Ji Zhengxiong and others about the relevant insider information about the mobile phone industry.
In this day and age, it is really difficult to obtain information.
The reception was a bit anticlimactic, and many people came here in good spirits and left disappointed.
However, all this was already destined.
Just when the capitalists on Hong Kong Island were disappointed, developed countries such as Bald Eagle and Great Britain established a number of mobile phone companies in the next half month.
Many mobile phone companies are making a comeback, and many executives and technicians have been recalled again.
After these media learned of the news, they immediately became excited.
Then one by one asked the PHS mobile phone company through the media: Are you afraid?
