Chapter 184 Smartphone Promotion Plan
There are significant differences between Douyi's personal e-commerce platform and the national e-commerce platform.
There are absolutely no low-priced items in the national store; there are no elixirs, magical artifacts, or cultivation techniques to be found.
Most of the products in the mall are various high-tech technical materials. Even if an individual obtains these materials, it would be difficult to use them without the cooperation of the state apparatus.
Another part of the goods consisted of materials needed to manufacture high-tech products. Some of the technological products Qin Le obtained from the aliens required specific materials that did not exist on Earth.
To this end, Qin Le deliberately generated some materials and put them into the system store, while also adding some common materials that are common on Earth to enrich the store's content.
Therefore, national marketplaces play a very important role for countries with large populations and high smartphone penetration rates.
White Elephant Kingdom.
The entire nation of Baixiang is enthusiastically celebrating the newly launched national marketplace mechanism by Douyi.
They believe that the White Elephant Country has one of the largest populations in the world, and the only country that can rival it is China.
However, China's birth rate has been declining in recent years, and the White Elephant Country is expected to surpass China in population within a few years!
At that time, with its huge population base, the White Elephant Kingdom will quickly accumulate a large amount of Douyi currency in its national mall account, thereby exchanging it for a large amount of high-tech data, and becoming the world's number one superpower in the future will be just around the corner.
"The future will surely belong to our White Elephant Kingdom!"
"That's right, the northern countries can be complacent for now, we'll surpass them soon! The top spot on the leaderboard will be ours sooner or later!"
However, not everyone is optimistic about the White Elephant Kingdom; many people think they are nothing but clowns.
Some Chinese people used VPNs to access the internet in the United States and made sarcastic remarks:
"You think you can become number one in the world? Do you people of low caste even afford smartphones? Hahaha."
All operations on Douyin require a modern smartphone. Although Qin Le launched Douyin some time ago, many people in remote areas around the world still do not have their own Douyin accounts.
People without an account naturally cannot log in to the store to buy goods.
Qin Le launched the Heavenly Ranking largely to take advantage of those hidden in remote corners of the earth.
But he couldn't personally deliver the phones to everyone; that would make him seem too humble, which wouldn't fit his usual behind-the-scenes persona.
This is something that each country can only promote on its own.
To encourage world leaders to actively promote this initiative, Qin Le specially added a large number of common technologies to the national marketplace, such as weapon production lines and basic technology gift packs.
While these technologies may be of little use to large countries, they can play a vital role in some remote and small nations.
If national leaders are willing, they can rapidly enhance national strength and complete the most basic industrial upgrades through the national marketplace.
In a few years or more, it won't be a big problem for our country to upgrade from an agricultural country to an industrial country.
Of course, Qin Le could not guarantee that there wouldn't be short-sighted leaders who would rather sacrifice national development than embezzle goods from the national marketplace for personal gain.
However, as long as a visionary leader emerges nearby, the country can rapidly develop using its national market and then annex those short-sighted nations.
The moment Qin Le launched the national account, anyone with a modicum of intelligence realized the problem.
The young people of White Elephant Kingdom stared at the online mockery with grim faces.
They knew perfectly well that although White Elephant had a large population, the majority of them were extremely poor people from low castes, and the smartphone penetration rate was probably less than half.
Moreover, all high-caste people know whether they really dare to allow low-caste people to own smartphones.
The in-game store in personal accounts does not require their permission to redeem items. Once lower-caste people have their own personal stores, they will eventually redeem Awakening Pills and become Outcasts.
In addition, many videos on TikTok show the outside world to lower caste people, allowing them to easily learn about the outside world.
Would lower-caste people with power and knowledge still willingly be oppressed?
They will rebel against the high-caste population sooner or later.
Even if White Elephant becomes the world's number one country by then, what benefit will it bring to the high-caste population?
The White Elephant Kingdom wasn't the only one with the same worries; a certain Kim general on the peninsula looked at the strange national shopping mall with a livid face.
The situation in their country is even more serious than in the White Elephant Kingdom. Under General Kim's leadership, very few people in the entire country, from top to bottom, have the right to use mobile phones.
If mobile phones were truly popularized among them, he himself would probably be the first to overturn the system.
But while some people are troubled, others are happy; not all countries are troubled by this problem.
China.
In less than half a day, an order was swiftly issued from the highest level.
The government will provide substantial subsidies to mobile phone companies for a long period of time to encourage the production of low-priced, high-quality products.
Some companies known for their low prices even received personal visits and well wishes from senior executives.
An employee of the rice company revealed that senior leaders are about to inspect the factory, and a large number of security personnel have been deployed in advance.
The special subsidies were quickly distributed to all mobile phone manufacturers, and each subsidy was supervised by designated personnel. Under the personal orders of the top leader, no one dared to tamper with these subsidies.
Smart people know that now is a time when the whole country is paying close attention, and any corruption involving subsidies will come at a heavy price.
Large numbers of trucks are entering and leaving the rice company's factory, and previously difficult-to-obtain permits are now being processed quickly.
To maximize production, factory employees were put on overtime and paid overtime wages, and the factory went into full-speed operation mode!
Meanwhile, Nadutong's North China headquarters.
The entire North China Special Operations Team of Na Du Tong was gathered in Xu Si's office. Lu Lin, who hadn't seen Feng Baobao last time, took the opportunity to greet her.
"Miss Feng, we meet again. From now on, we'll be teammates."
Feng Baobao tilted her head and thought for a long time before she finally remembered who the black-haired man in front of her was.
"Oh! It's you! I almost forgot."
Xu Si clapped his hands, interrupting Feng Baobao and Lu Lin's conversation.
"Alright everyone, stop chatting. The people from Nathan Island will be here tomorrow. I just received news from the Northeast that some foreign forces seem to not want to see us cooperate with the people from Nathan Island and are preparing to secretly send people to interfere. Everyone must be careful tomorrow. This cooperation is of great importance and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes."
"Don't worry, fourth brother."
"I understand, Fourth Brother."
No problem.
"Brother Bao's fourth brother."
"What a hassle."
A sparse and completely disorganized string of words was enough to reply to Xu Si. Looking at the crowd standing in various positions, Xu Si shook his head and took out five earphone-like items from his pocket.
"Here is a special magical artifact that can translate what others say in real time. It can translate most languages in the world. Keep it and wear it when you talk to the people of Nathan Island. Remember to keep it safe. This is just a loan to you. You have to take it back after the mission is over."
