Currently, Geek Technology's own Geek Appliance stores directly and fully support the 'Geek Pay' QR code payment method.

Furthermore, Geek Technology's marketing team is working hard to persuade major supermarket chains to support 'Geek Pay' and the mobile QR code payment model.

If those supermarkets agree, the era of QR code payments might arrive a few years earlier.

However, these are all future events. Yang Zhi at this time has no idea what kind of landscape online and offline payment methods will usher in.

After getting the Geek S1 smartphone, Yang Zhi was quite fond of it.

What pleased him most was that when he took out the Geek S1 smartphone, passersby and friends would often cast surprised and envious glances, and even occasionally someone would want to borrow it to try it out.

This feeling of being surrounded by people made Yang Zhi a little overwhelmed, but also somewhat fond of it.

After all, many people work hard all their lives, isn't it just for face?

So in the future, even when Yang Zhi didn't need his phone when going out, he liked to hold the Geek S1 smartphone in his hand to show off.

And the same situation was happening all over the country.

Geek Technology, with a Geek S1 smartphone, successfully changed its brand image, gradually moving from low-end cost-effectiveness to a mid-to-high-end brand image!

Time continued to flow slowly, and in the blink of an eye, September passed, and time came to October 10, 2008.

On this day, Nokia suddenly moved like a giant.

Starting from October 10, 2008, they began to vigorously promote a smartphone called 'Nokia 5800' in the 30 seconds before the news broadcast on CCTV, on various TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and internet media.

It must be said that the appearance of the Nokia 5800 smartphone is quite good-looking. From the surface, it has a sense of a smartphone.

Moreover, according to online information, the screen size of this smartphone actually reached a super-large inches, and finally, with the Symbian system, it has tens of thousands of mobile applications and supports functions such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS navigation.

Subsequently, coupled with the ultra-low price of only 2999 yuan, it is a few hundred yuan cheaper than the cheapest Geek S1 smartphone, and thousands of yuan cheaper than the high-end Geek S1.

These advantages are superimposed together, coupled with Nokia's super brand, naturally made the Nokia 5800 smartphone popular before it was officially launched.

So netizens on Tianya Forum, Mop Forum, and Geek chat groups discussed whether the Nokia 5800 smartphone would break the trend of the Geek S1 smartphone's crazy sales growth.

Among them, the number of netizens who believed that the sales of the Geek S1 smartphone would be seriously affected still accounted for the vast majority.

Because this is Nokia.

In the eyes of the people of the current era, Nokia is a super brand, even bigger than Motorola.

It can be said that in the eyes of many consumers, as long as they have enough money, they can directly buy Nokia without hesitation.

Under such blind trust, the Nokia 5800 smartphone naturally has a filter in the eyes of many people, and the shortcomings of the Nokia 5800 smartphone are ignored by them.

The advantages of the Nokia 5800 smartphone are infinitely magnified by them. At this time, they naturally believe that the Nokia 5800 smartphone will cause the sales of Geek smartphones to suffer setbacks and fatal blows.

Of course, the public opinion will be one-sided, which is actually related to the fact that Nokia's China branch has launched a water army offensive.

The authority of Nokia's China branch has greatly increased, so not only has the marketing budget increased greatly,

but also the marketing routines that can be adopted can become more flexible.

How could they not use such a useful tool as the water army? Therefore, the internet public opinion naturally ushered in a one-sided ending.

As for whether Geek Technology has any countermeasures, Marketing Director Zhang Feng originally wanted to do a wave of publicity as well, at least not to weaken the momentum.

But Gao Nian immediately stopped Zhang Feng's money-burning marketing plan after learning about it, and left directly with the sentence 'Whoever forces consumers to eat shit, then consumers will tell him how to behave'.

In this regard, the entire marketing department naturally looked at each other, and could only helplessly stop the marketing plan that had been completed.

Let Nokia Corporation vigorously promote the Nokia 5800 smartphone, which ultimately led to the Geek S1 smartphone being silent, as if it were an invisible person.

And time passed slowly like this. After 5 days of publicity through channels such as CCTV, local TV stations, print media, and internet media.

On October 15, 2008, Nokia's China branch officially announced the launch of the Nokia 5800 smartphone!

So there is nothing to say, after a full 5 days of super-scale advertising brewing, the Nokia 5800 naturally triggered a sales miracle.

The next day, the president of Nokia's China branch summoned the media and officially announced that the Nokia 5800 smartphone had defeated the Geek S1 smartphone!

Geek Technology took a week to sell 170,000 Geek S1 smartphones.

They, Nokia, only took one day to sell 200,000 Nokia 5800 smartphones, fully demonstrating the fact that the Nokia 5800 smartphone is better than the Geek S1 smartphone!

Subsequently, the president of Nokia's China branch also proudly claimed, 'If Nokia had not only stocked 200,000 Nokia 5800s, then 300,000 or even 400,000 units could have been sold out in one day!'.

There is nothing to say, the event that Nokia sold 200,000 Nokia 5800 smartphones on its first day.

Directly appeared in the reports of various TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and internet media in the form of heavy news, causing a sensation in the domestic media.

Even foreign media reported the amazing news that the Nokia 5800 smartphone sold 200,000 units on its first day in the Chinese market.

However, at this time, no one thought that a storm was brewing in the dark.

"I'm a fool, a fool to buy a Nokia 5800!"

At this time, in the toilet of a company office, a young man named He Cheng couldn't help but curse loudly,

Looking at the Nokia 5800 in his hand, he really couldn't wait to smash it.

It turned out that more than ten minutes ago, another colleague of his had queued up for a week at a 'Geek Appliance Store' and finally got a Geek S1 smartphone.

Next, there is nothing to say. During the lunch break after lunch, his colleagues naturally took it to the office to show off in public.

In front of people, they played games such as "Fruit Ninja", "Temple Run", "Plants vs. Zombies\

,""Roller Coaster" and other games.

This naturally caused exclamations from people in the office. They did not expect that directly controlling the phone through the screen would be so smooth.

Among them, He Cheng, who was still proud of being able to buy a Nokia 5800 smartphone and proud of his phone having so many applications, was dumbfounded on the spot.

Because he found that when it comes to playing games, his Nokia 5800 smartphone is not useful.

As a resistive screen, the Nokia 5800 smartphone has no way to play games smoothly through the screen like the Geek S1 smartphone.

It can only control the screen with fingernails and stylus. Can you imagine the scene of playing games with fingernails or stylus?

It's too difficult, it's not comfortable at all!

After realizing this, how could He Cheng not be so angry that he vomited blood?
