The next day, a group of market promoters for Fast Taxi appeared in Terminal 3 of Yanjing Airport.
"Hey driver, you got a smartphone?"
Hong Jun saw his chance and walked up to a taxi driver to strike up a conversation. Before he could even finish his sentence, the driver offered him a Yuxi cigarette.
The driver hadn't wanted to bother with him, but for the sake of the cigarette, he replied nonchalantly, "Of course I do. What era are we in? Who doesn't have a smartphone these days?"
Despite what he said, smartphone shipments in 2011 were just over 80 million units. In reality, there were fewer than 300 million smartphone users nationwide, a penetration rate of less than 22%.
