35: Industry rules are unbreakable

Under such circumstances, the production of Chenguang Mobile Phone also gradually increased, and Chenguang Mobile Phone officially entered the national market for large-scale sales.

However, a tree desires calm, but the wind will not subside. At this time, Lin Chen still did not know that he had not yet faced the direct threat from KingKee Mobile, but Chen Liangkun's Jinbao Mobile had already issued a threat first.

More than ten days later, on July 16, 2002.

When the news about the most crash-resistant mobile phone in the world being made in the Great Xia had faded to the point where it was no longer discussed by netizens.

At this time, an article published by Ta Kung Pao, a well-known old newspaper in Xiangjiang, shocked the entire mobile phone industry and sparked heated discussions among domestic netizens.

“The most crash-resistant mobile phone in history turned out to be a refurbished phone, a Great Xia pride is actually a national disgrace!”

This was the headline of the old newspaper, Ta Kung Pao.

In this report, Ta Kung Pao dismantled Chenguang Mobile Phone through text and images, carefully checking the various parts and accessory names of Chenguang Mobile Phone.

They even took out the circuit board of a Nokia 5110 for comparison, so readers who read this far were surprised to find that the circuit boards of the two phones were exactly the same.

In addition, experts in the article also tested the system of Chenguang Mobile Phone.

The result was a surprising discovery that Chenguang Mobile Phone was actually a Nokia 5110 with a changed shell and modified external antenna, an illegal and non-compliant refurbished phone!

Among them, except for the battery, crash-resistant casing buttons, and some parts of the screen which were brand new, everything else was identical to the Nokia 5110 mobile phone!

Therefore, that national product of light, Chenguang Mobile Phone, was not only not the glory of the nation, but rather the shame of national products!

As soon as this conclusion came out, everyone who saw this article was dumbfounded.

All readers had no idea that Chenguang Mobile Phone, which was hailed as the light of domestic products, was actually a refurbished phone behind the scenes, which was truly too unexpected.

However, after the shock, as they pondered carefully, they found that what the article said should be true!

After all, this was Ta Kung Pao, and this century-old newspaper had no need to fake things in this regard!

Thinking of this, after the shock, a surge of anger also welled up in their hearts.

They felt disappointed and angry at the despicable nature of domestic mobile phones; this was a kind of frustrated anger for not living up to expectations!

They had just thought that domestic mobile phones had risen, but the reality still slapped them hard in the face, telling them: domestic mobile phones want to rise? Dream on!

This huge psychological gap made people angry; this was a kind of frustrated anger for not living up to expectations!

Under such circumstances, Chenguang Mobile Phone being a national disgrace had already become the perception of netizens!

Thus, with the reporting of this article, the public opinion surrounding Chenguang Mobile Phone rapidly deteriorated.

“Hahahahahahaha… now you know how powerful I am, I’d like to see how you’ll die this time.”

At this moment, in the Jinbao Mobile factory, Chen Liangkun looked at the various condemning posts on forums like Tianya Forum, Yinghaiwei Time and Space, Shuimu Tsinghua, and Bihai Yinsha on his computer, and he laughed with extreme smugness.

That’s right, this matter was his doing!

The so-called experts in that article were him and his employees, so this article was a powerful weapon he created to attack Lin Chen and Chenguang Mobile Phone.

Earlier, Lin Chen had publicly pointed out that Jinbao Crash-Resistant King plagiarized Chenguang Mobile Phone, completely ruining the reputation of Jinbao Crash-Resistant King.

This shattered his dream of getting rich, making him deeply hate Lin Chen and Chenguang Mobile Phone.

So, with the mindset of “if I can’t make money, you won’t either,” he and his employees carefully dismantled Chenguang Mobile Phone, and finally produced an exposé article which they mailed to the famous Ta Kung Pao.

At this moment, the effect was indeed good: Tianya Forum, Yinghaiwei Time and Space, Shuimu Tsinghua, Bihai Yinsha…

All well-known domestic BBS were filled with negative public opinion articles discussing and condemning Chenguang Mobile Phone.

It can be said that with Ta Kung Pao exposing the secret of Chenguang Mobile Phone being a refurbished phone, Chenguang Mobile Phone also became the focus of public attention and suffered widespread condemnation.

Facing this situation, how could Chen Liangkun, who hated Lin Chen and Chenguang Mobile Phone so much, not be smug?

But at this moment, Chen Liangkun did not know that his actions had already broken the “unspoken rules” of Pengcheng, pushing himself into fatal danger.

The saying goes, “don’t hit someone’s face,” and everyone who has been in Huaqiangbei for a long time has some dirt under their feet.

At this time, his act of “exposing someone’s dirty laundry” undoubtedly broke the unspoken rules.

The refurbished phone and knock-off phone industry chains are two of Huaqiangbei’s major characteristics, and in these two characteristic industry chains, there are many workers and even bosses who rely on them for their livelihoods.

So, while everyone competes, there is an invisible unspoken rule that cannot be broken.

At this time, Chen Liangkun’s “exposing someone’s dirty laundry” not only broke the unspoken rules but also made such a huge stir, bringing Huaqiangbei’s “characteristic industry chain” of refurbished phones into the open.

How will Huaqiangbei continue to deal with refurbished phones and knock-off phones now? Isn’t this destroying people’s livelihoods!

So, Chen Liangkun was laughing with extreme smugness at this moment, but he did not know that he had already offended all his mobile phone peers in Huaqiangbei, and even many workers who earned money working in Huaqiangbei!

Of course, at this moment, Chen Liangkun, who was only focused on revenge and smugness, hadn’t thought of these things, or he considered his actions to be secretive enough that he wasn’t afraid of the secret being exposed.

At this moment, he was fantasizing about the scene of Dawn Mobile Phone Factory being in utter chaos, and the smile on his lips was particularly sinister.

He probably thought that patrol officers had already gone to seal Dawn Mobile Phone Factory, and thinking of this, Chen Liangkun felt exceptionally smug.

Of course, he did not know where Chenguang Mobile Phone’s factory was, since Dawn Mobile Phone Factory, as a refurbished phone factory, certainly could not see the light of day.

So, it would definitely not be easy to find out where Dawn Mobile Phone Factory was. Under such circumstances, even if he wanted to personally go to Dawn Mobile Phone Factory to see the scene of it being sealed by patrol officers, he wouldn’t be able to.

However, although he didn’t know where Dawn Mobile Phone Factory was, he knew where that guy surnamed Lin was.

After all, Shuguang Electronics Direct Store had also gained some fame during this period, and it was rumored through unofficial channels that the most authentic Chenguang Mobile Phone could be bought there.

“Now, let me see how that guy surnamed Lin will face this world-shattering moment, hahahahaha…”

After speaking, Chen Liangkun burst into laughter again, then took steps, preparing to head to Shuguang Electronics Direct Store.

…

On the other side.

At this moment, in a private room at Glan Royal Hotel.

“Which bastard is behind this? Does he not want everyone’s business to continue?”

The speaker at this moment was a greasy, obese middle-aged man, his eyes wide with apparent fury.

At this moment, a thin old man, approximately 50 years old, also shook his head and sighed:

“Compete but don’t break, what does it mean to compete but not break?

Chenguang Mobile Phone sells the best, but no matter how jealous one is, one cannot pull such a stunt. This is not putting industry rules in one’s eyes.”

In response, a young man in a suit at the scene also frowned and cursed loudly:

“That Ta Kung Pao is truly despicable; they didn’t even tell us before reporting such news.

Now they suddenly pull a stunt like this on me; next, our Huaqiangbei refurbished phone industry will definitely undergo rectification. That Ta Kung Pao is truly despicable.”
