62: Chapter 62 iPhone 6 Release

Chen Mo looked at the factory construction agreements sent by officials from various regions and casually handed them to Zhang Kai to handle.

The factory relocation process went more smoothly than expected.

Ultimately, based on the conditions of each city, thirty cities with convenient transportation were selected to simultaneously build thirty small industrial bases.

Once this news spread, the entire internet began to discuss it heatedly again.

"Holy crap! What is President Chen trying to do? Monopolize the manufacturing industry?"

"Did you guys forget about Foxconn? He's going head-to-head with Foxconn!"

"I've long found Foxconn an eyesore; a Taiwan company making money from Dragon Country while insulting it. It's time they were dealt with!"

"Not just Foxconn, but also that Wanwan Microelectronics Company. They used to sell chips so expensively, and now they're in a miserable state!"

"Exactly! After Tianxing could self-develop chips, that microelectronics company's market value dropped by half. They're only surviving on Apple's orders now!"

Chen Mo leaned lazily by the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, watching the endless flow of traffic below, and let out a yawn.

He was merely annoyed by foreign comprador capital;

But for these backstabbing Taiwan companies, he hated them from the bottom of his heart.

Biting the hand that feeds them—since there was an opportunity, he would never let them have it easy.

Chen Mo also knew clearly in his heart that as long as he firmly held onto the Dragon Country market, he would remain invincible.

Before the factory construction matters could even fully settle...

Apple announced they were releasing a new phone.

And this year, Apple was exceptionally unusual.

Not only was the release date a month earlier than in previous years, but they also advertised frantically in Dragon Country and even took the initiative to lift the ban on the Tianxing App.

Furthermore, they placed the Dragon Country model release in the first batch.

Elder Ai was right after all!

Truth only exists within the range of a cannon!

Chen Mo mastering high technology was equivalent to mastering the truth; Apple had no choice but to behave!

"President Chen, Apple said they won't charge any service fees for our App anymore. They only ask that our App be available on Apple phones." Zhang Kai walked in with a report.

Chen Mo sneered and said nonchalantly:

"They've certainly learned to be tactful. Allow them to list it."

Apple was getting desperate, trying to rely on the new phone to reclaim the Dragon Country market.

On the day of the apple 6 launch event, countless people waited in front of their screens, especially the old Apple Fans, who were incredibly excited.

But the moment the new phone was unveiled, Dragon Country netizens were completely bewildered.

"This is the apple 6? Is there any difference from the tianxing generation?"

"There is; the screen is a bit larger, going from 4.7 inches to 5.5 inches."

"That's it? The battery is only 3,000 mAh? Nowadays, anyone who buys a phone with less than 5,000 mAh is a sucker!"

"This is Apple! The aesthetics and performance are right there!"

"No matter how good the performance is, charging it eight times a day? You'd need to carry an army of power banks when you go out, right?"

Yet even so, many Apple Fans still praised it frantically.

"Apple is awesome! These aesthetics completely blow the tianxing generation out of the water!"

"The performance is also stronger than Tianxing! 6,888 yuan for the 32GB version—that's so generous!"

"The tianxing generation sells for 6,088. The apple 6 is better, so what's wrong with selling it for 6,888?"

"Go for it! We must buy it! Apple Fans assemble, support Cook!"

These words of praise were quickly rebutted by other netizens.

"Generous? You must have been brainwashed by Apple's PUA!"

"Comparing a newly released phone to someone else's phone from last year—have you no shame?"

"The aesthetics are copied from Tianxing, and the battery is a letdown. How do you have the nerve to boast?"

"Just wait until Tianxing releases a new model, then let's see how you boast!"

Seeing the comments online, Chen Mo casually instructed Zhang Kai to release the prepared Tianxing Generation 2.

Early the next morning.

Tianxing Technology official website:

[In three days, the Tianxing Second Generation Mobile Phone + Generation 2 laptop will be officially released. Please stay tuned!]

The entire internet instantly boiled over, and the comment section was immediately flooded.

"Holy crap! So fast? The Tianxing Generation 2 is coming just like that?"

"President Chen is really going up against Apple! This is so satisfying!"

"I wonder if the Tianxing Generation 2 can beat the apple 6?"

"It definitely can! When has President Chen ever disappointed us?"

"Hard to say; the apple 6 is actually okay this time. If the Tianxing Generation 2 doesn't have some heavy-hitting features, it'll be tough!"

Scrolling through these comments, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

Beat the apple 6?

If he couldn't even beat the apple 6, why would he even bother making phones?

No one knew that the Tianxing Generation 2 was produced entirely through unmanned production at the main base, with not a single piece of information leaked.

Moreover, Chen Mo had prepared long ago, just waiting for Apple to make its move!

Once the launch event started, all doubts would vanish into thin air.

Three days passed in a flash, and the Tianxing new product launch event was held as scheduled.

When Zhang Kai appeared with the Tianxing Second Generation Mobile Phone, the live stream frame instantly froze, and the entire internet fell silent.

After a moment, the bullet chat began to flood frantically.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! What kind of divine aesthetics does this phone have?"

"It's all screen? No notch? No chin? This is a full-screen display!"

"My god! It's a whole size larger than the apple 6's large screen, and yet it's so exquisite!"

Zhang Kai introduced with a smile, his voice reaching all parts of the world through the screen:

"Everyone, this is the Tianxing Second Generation Mobile Phone. It features a 100% full-screen design, supports under-display fingerprint unlocking, and also has facial recognition functionality."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bullet chat exploded again.

"Under-display fingerprint? And facial recognition? Dual unlocking?"

"This kind of black technology is something Apple wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

"Hurry up and tell us the specs! Tell us the specs! I can't wait!"

Zhang Kai continued:

"Equipped with Tianxing's self-developed chip, 4GB of RAM, with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage options. It has a 12-megapixel single rear camera, a 7-megapixel front camera, a battery capacity of 6,000 mAh with fast charging support, a body thickness of 7.3 mm, and a weight of 160 grams."

Once these words were out, both Dragon Country netizens and foreign netizens were all stunned.

"12 megapixels? Can the photos compare to a camera?"

"The body is so thin? So light? And it supports fast charging? These specs are miles ahead of the apple 6!"

"The apple 6 only has an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front camera. The gap is too huge!"

"The battery actually reached 6,000 mAh and supports fast charging. It's twice the size of the apple 6's 3,000 mAh. Even if it were the same size, it would be more durable than Apple's!"

"And it's so thin and light; the feel in the hand must be incredible!"

Musk sat in front of his computer, looking at the Tianxing Generation 2 on the screen with a grim expression.

He couldn't understand how Tianxing Technology, established for only two years, could produce such advanced technology.

At Apple headquarters, Cook looked at the live stream of the launch event and let out a sigh:

apple 6 is finished.

Zhang Kai paused, then announced the prices:

"The Tianxing Second Generation Mobile Phone: 6,888 yuan for the 64GB version, 7,388 yuan for the 128GB version, and 7,888 yuan for the 256GB version!"

The entire internet went completely crazy!

"6,888? The same price as the apple 6's 32GB version?"

"256GB is only 7,888? That's even cheaper than the apple 6's 128GB!"

"This is leaving Apple no way to survive! President Chen is too ruthless!"

"Stop talking and list it already! I want to grab the 256GB one!"

"I want to grab one too! Such a good phone, if you miss it, it's gone!"

The surprises weren't over yet. Zhang Kai picked up the laptop next to him:

"Next is the Tianxing Generation 2 Laptop. Performance is improved by 30% compared to the first generation, the aesthetics have been upgraded, and the price—starts at 2,599 yuan!"

"Additionally, all users who have purchased a tianxing generation 1 laptop will receive a Tianxing Generation 2 Laptop for free!"

"Of course, this is limited to domestic users. As for when it will go on sale abroad and at what price, it is currently uncertain."

As soon as this was said, the entire internet was shaken!

"2,599? A laptop is also selling for 2,599?"

"Other brands with the same configuration cost at least seven or eight thousand, and Apple goes straight over ten thousand!"

"Is President Chen crazy? This is directly bottoming out laptop prices!"

"Giving them away for free to first-generation users? For real? Did I hear that right!"

"So generous! This is truly thinking of the fellow countrymen!"

"Those people who were cursing Chen Mo for monopolizing earlier, do your faces hurt now?"

"And it's limited to domestic users? Haha, this is so satisfying!"

"Foreigners can't even find a place to buy it. Let them drool with envy!"

"Who told them to follow US Imperialism in sanctioning and smearing us? Now they know what regret feels like!"

"It's not that we aren't opening up to the outside; they were the ones who were unreasonable first!"

"Support President Chen! This is exactly how it should be done!"

"The desktop market was just overturned, and now the laptops are here too!"

"Now foreign computer manufacturers and assembly plants can really just close their doors!"

"Black Heart Think, HP, Dell... none of them have a way to survive now!"

"I used to think it was normal to spend several thousand yuan on a computer.

"Now I finally understand that we've been brutally ripped off for so many years!"

"Thank you, President Chen! For letting us ordinary people afford good computers!"

"This is what you call a national enterprise; this is a true national enterprise!"
