7: The audience was stunned

If Lin Chen were to see this middle-aged man, he would find him somewhat familiar, as they had met once yesterday at Saige Plaza.

This middle-aged man, who looked like a small business owner, was named Ke Hanliang, and he primarily dealt in SMT surface-mount electronic components and chip transit trade.

In other words, they did not manufacture surface-mount electronic components or chips. Instead, they purchased components and chips from domestic or foreign SMT factories and chip manufacturers, then resold them to clients in need, earning huge profits by exploiting information asymmetry.

Acting as an intermediary was also the primary business in Huaqiangbei at the time. Through this intermediary role, they sold electronic components, chips, and electronic products across China and even to Southeast Asia.

If Lin Chen could gain the favor of Ke Hanliang at this moment, then building his own shanzhai mobile phone factory in the future would undoubtedly secure a stable supply chain for components.

Regarding this, Lin Chen was unaware.

Seeing his two apprentices, Huang Hua and Chen Dong, pretending to be calm while cold sweat actually dripped from their foreheads, Lin Chen stepped forward and patted their shoulders to reassure them.

He then slowly stepped forward, picked up a Chenguang Mobile Phone from the coarse cloth below in front of everyone, and then, right before their eyes, slammed it violently onto the ground!

"Bang!!!"

The sound of the Chenguang Mobile Phone slamming violently against the ground rang out. Aside from the dozen or so consumers, the hundreds of onlookers all revealed expressions of astonishment.

"What's wrong with this young man? Why did he suddenly smash a perfectly good phone?"

At this moment, the hundreds of onlookers were staring at Lin Chen in astonishment, their eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

Lin Chen ignored their confusion, curiosity, and astonished gazes. Instead, he crouched down, picked up a second phone in order, and slammed it down violently!

"Bang!!!"

The second sound of a phone slamming violently onto the ground rang out, and the hundreds of onlookers began to stir restlessly.

Lin Chen did not stop his actions; he picked up a third one!

"Bang!"

The fourth one!

"Bang!"

The fifth one!

"Bang!"

The mouths of the hundreds of people at the scene were now wide open, because Lin Chen had actually smashed 5 phones in a row right in front of them?!

Their gazes towards Lin Chen were now filled with shock, astonishment, and confusion. They wondered what was wrong with this young man. Had he gone crazy?!

Even if those phones were refurbished, you couldn't just smash them like that, right? And even if they were refurbished, they were still worth a few hundred yuan. Wasn't that money too?

The hundreds of onlookers stared at Lin Chen with wide-open mouths, their eyes full of shock, astonishment, and confusion.

At this point, Lin Chen finally stopped smashing the phones. He picked up the 5 phones from the ground, placed them in front of him, and pressed the power buttons.

"Dong-dong... dong-dong... dong-dong..."

The 5 phones emitted crisp startup sounds. Upon hearing those sounds, everyone at the scene revealed looks of astonishment.

These five phones weren't broken?!

They had just seen that young man use a lot of force to smash the phones; the speed at which his hand moved was very fast, so it couldn't be faked. How could those five phones still be working and able to turn on?!

This wasn't scientific!

However, Lin Chen still did not stop. He picked up the 5 smashed phones and placed them into the hands of his two apprentices, Huang Hua and Chen Dong.

Then, the three of them began to play with the five phones in front of the hundreds of people, using them to make calls and play Tetris...

It could be said that after continuous testing of these five phones, the people at the scene were surprised to find that the phones hadn't broken at all!

These five phones had been slammed onto the ground by that young man with such great force, yet they hadn't broken?!

Not only did the screens of the 5 phones display normally, but making and receiving calls, using various functions, and playing games worked perfectly without any issues. Only the paint on the exterior had been scraped off.

It had to be said that the quality of the Chenguang Mobile Phone really exceeded their expectations.

Seeing the surprised looks in their eyes, a faint smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's mouth.

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a good smash!

The consumers at the scene were full of doubts about the quality of the Chenguang Mobile Phone because they had heard they were refurbished. So, he would just smash them to shatter their doubts!

He would tell them that the quality of the Chenguang Mobile Phone was very good and they could rest assured. Although it was refurbished, its quality was excellent and they could trust it!

The final facts proved that Lin Chen's five-in-a-row smash demonstration was effective, especially after showing the 5 phones following the smash.

And when people discovered that these 5 phones were completely unbroken and had no abnormalities in usage, the looks they gave Lin Chen and his two companions no longer held the malice or disgust they had just a moment ago!

However, this alone was not enough. If it were just this, it would only make people form the cognitive concept that the shell of the Chenguang Mobile Phone was indeed durable.

So, he took out a small mobile phone disassembly tool and, in front of everyone, quickly disassembled the phone.

In the end, it took him less than 10 seconds to remove the phone shell, and then he displayed the internal components of the phone to the people.

Seeing this, people curiously examined the disassembled phone, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

Because for this second batch of phones, Lin Chen had help, and additionally, his capital was sufficient.

The sourcing and workmanship of these refurbished phones were crafted to strive for perfection, aiming to make it impossible for consumers to detect any signs of them being refurbished.

Most importantly, the batteries for this second batch of phones were no longer the original ones; they used brand-new compatible batteries.

As for the other parts, they had been polished and buffed as much as possible. Under these circumstances, the hundreds of passersby at the scene did not see anything wrong.

"I don't see any problems with this phone."

"That's right, I see this battery is still new. How could a phone like this be refurbished?"

"Exactly, old lithium batteries usually have some bulging and deformation. This battery is so square and upright, and there are no traces of disassembly on it. This must be a new phone; how could it be refurbished?"

"I remember that guy who said the Chenguang Mobile Phone was refurbished also sells phones; his name seems to be Peng Ge. He even had a grudge against that young man yesterday."

"Could it be that he came out on purpose to disgust people? After all, competitors are enemies. Seeing a competitor making money, he got jealous and wanted to smear them to ruin the competitor."

"That's right, it must be that. I have to say, that Peng Ge has no integrity."

"He can't sell his own phones, so he slanders a competitor's phones as refurbished. This guy's character is really terrible. From now on, we should walk the other way when we see him." ...

People at the scene began to discuss among themselves, their eyes filled with disgust as they looked towards Peng Ge.

It had to be said that Lin Chen's five-in-a-row smash and his action of disassembling the phone on the spot to reveal its internal workings successfully gained the people's trust and gave them an understanding of the quality of the phones.

Under these circumstances, how could people trust Peng Ge when he claimed the Chenguang Mobile Phone was refurbished based solely on his one-sided words?
