132: Chapter 132 Technological Showdown

Since making his relationship with Zhao Liying official, Chen Mo had stopped meddling too much in the trivial matters of the entertainment industry. He poured his heart and soul into the product research and development of Tianxing Technology, spending all day in the laboratory, and was rarely seen around the manor.

On the other hand, with Chen Mo's secret support and her own hardworking nature, Zhao Liying not only gained the appreciation of many big shots in the industry but was also flooded with resources. Her career was flourishing, and she had even accepted a detached villa in the suburbs gifted by Chen Mo, which was worth over 200 million yuan. Her life was going incredibly smoothly.

That day in the office, Zhang Kai walked in carrying a stack of research materials, placed them on Chen Mo's desk, and said:

"President Chen, I've compiled the recent market feedback. Since the launch of our tianxing third generation phone, its reputation has been growing steadily. It has completely suppressed the apple 6, and user satisfaction is very high."

Chen Mo asked:

"Besides phones, are there any other requests from the users?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Kai said:

"Since our tianxing third generation phone became a hit, netizens have been urging us every day on the official Weibo, waiting for us to release a matching laptop."

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Mo's mouth as he said:

"Then let's arrange it. Don't keep the users waiting too long; push for the launch of the tianxing laptop as soon as possible."

Zhang Kai nodded and continued:

"President Chen, there's one more thing. Apple is about to launch the apple 7. According to the news, they've poured all their advanced technology into it this time. It's clear they want to go head-to-head with our tianxing third generation to reclaim their market share."

Hearing this, Chen Mo said disdainfully:

"Without collision, how can there be sparks? Our Tianxing products, whether in technology or quality, can withstand any test. Just go ahead and do it; there's no need to fear Apple."

Not long after, the apple 7 officially opened for global pre-sales. Overwhelming publicity swept across the internet, creating hype with 'black technology' and high-end positioning marketing. Pre-sale numbers soared, breaking ten million units in just a few days. Many users who were previously fans of the tianxing third generation were lured back by Apple's advertising and placed pre-orders.

Netizens were buzzing with discussion:

"The apple 7 is finally coming! Waiting for delivery. Apple is the eternal god; even if Tianxing is popular, it can't beat the established big names!"

"Pre-sales have broken ten million; this kind of presence is absolutely top-tier. How can Tianxing even compare? As expected, Apple is still more reliable!"

"I'm definitely going for the apple 7 and ditching Tianxing. Foreign brands are still better; domestic ones are ultimately lacking something!"

"Waiting for the apple 7 to crush the tianxing third generation and let Tianxing know who the boss of the smartphone world really is!"

"Instead of spending a lot on Tianxing, it's better to wait for the apple 7. This is what a high-end phone should look like!"

"Apple is a major international brand. Tianxing has just risen and already wants to challenge them; it's simply overestimating itself!"

"I've already pre-ordered two. Tianxing won't be able to catch up to Apple's quality in its entire life!"

"Just wait and see; Tianxing's popularity is just a passing breeze. As soon as the apple 7 hits the market, it'll go cold immediately!"

However, once the first batch of users got their hands on the actual apple 7, public opinion on the internet flipped instantly. Complaints and curses were everywhere, and the comment section exploded, tearing Apple to shreds.

"I'm really fed up! What's the difference between this apple 7 and the apple 6? They dare to sell it as a new phone just by changing the casing? This isn't how you harvest leeks!"

"I paid 7999 for this? No feature updates, terrible camera pixels, not even a full screen. The 'black technology' that the tianxing third generation is already done with, the apple 7 is still stuck on. It's practically regressing to the primitive age!"

"Refund! I must get a refund! Are they treating us like suckers? Apple has clearly given up; doesn't their conscience hurt?"

"They hyped it up so much before, and this is the result? It's not even as good as the apple 6. Their reputation has crumbled into pieces!"

"Stop blaming Foxconn. It's clearly Apple's own lack of ability. If your technology can't keep up, don't try to launch new phones like others!"

"The three cameras are all for show—fake! It can't even beat a thousand-yuan Xiaomi phone. It's a pure 'IQ tax'!"

"I'm never sucking up to foreign brands again. The tianxing third generation is the real deal. Domestic brands are the future!"

"Tianxing Technology is the world leader. With this move, Apple has directly killed itself!"

"I'm so full of regret! I returned my Tianxing to buy an apple 7; I'm such a big sucker. I'm switching to being a Tianxing fan for life!"

"Has Apple become too arrogant? Fooling consumers with such defective products—do they really think no one understands technology?"

"Compared to the black technology of the tianxing third generation, the apple 7 is practically a phone for the elderly. It's too pathetic!"

"I'll never believe Apple's advertising again. Their greed is too unsightly. From now on, I'm no longer a fan; I only support domestic brands!"

Taking advantage of the perfect timing when Apple's reputation collapsed, Chen Mo had Zhang Kai release their ultimate weapon: the new tianxing laptop was quickly launched, catching Apple completely off guard.

This laptop not only inherited all the advantages of Tianxing products—fine craftsmanship and top-tier quality—but also added several exclusive black technologies. Its performance directly crushed all other brands on the market, yet it was much cheaper than Apple's laptops. Its cost-performance ratio was off the charts.

Coincidentally, Black Heart Think, which had been crushed by Tianxing earlier and had turned to join a foreign computer company, also released a new computer on the same day, hoping to make a comeback with foreign capital.

As a result, when compared to the tianxing laptop, it was instantly obliterated with nothing left. Just as it was showing some signs of life, it completely flopped in the domestic market again, becoming a useless A Dou who couldn't be helped up.

Netizens across the internet showered the tianxing laptop with even more praise:

"The tianxing laptop is killing it! With this configuration and price, even Apple would cry!"

"It crushes Black Heart Think by a mile. As expected, things that side with foreigners just don't work. Tianxing is the light of domestic goods!"

"Even big companies like Penguin and Baidu have been outshone by Tianxing. Chen Mo is just too amazing; Tianxing is the future of our Dragon Country!"

"Tianxing Technology is the GOAT! From phones to laptops, everything is top-tier. It really makes us Chinese people proud!"

"Just how much black technology does Chen Mo have? Tianxing's products never disappoint!"

"Black Heart Think is a joke. It was just revived and then immediately flattened by Tianxing. It'll never recover in this lifetime!"

"With Chen Mo in Dragon Country's tech industry, why worry about not rising? Tianxing is our pride!"

"Buy the tianxing laptop without hesitation. Strong performance, great price—it crushes all foreign brands!"

"As expected of Chen Mo, every move is a 'King Bomb.' Apple and Black Heart Think aren't even in the same league!"

"Finally, there's a domestic technology that can go head-to-head with big foreign brands. Go Tianxing! Crush all competitors!"

"After buying a tianxing laptop, I can't look at any other brands anymore. This is a true technological gem!"

The online discussion continued unabated, and many netizens even started new topics. The comment section was buzzing with excitement.

"Say, President Chen is so capable, what step has he not taken yet?"

"Is that even a question? It must be becoming an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences! With President Chen's incredible technology, he must become an Academician and take on students!"

"Exactly! If President Chen's technology could be taught to more people, our Dragon Country's technology would take off immediately!"

"I support Chen Mo becoming an Academician. This would be a well-deserved honor, much better than those experts who only care about fame and reputation!"
