79: Chapter 79: Little White's Unboxing and Second Review! Back Home

"It's mainly due to Huawei's brand and channels. If we relied solely on ourselves, we wouldn't achieve these results," Shen Fei said modestly.

Zhang Mingzhu stood beside Shen Fei, her eyes filled with stars. As an experienced Smartphone user, she knew what this price represented.

From today onwards, China's Smartphone industry will enter a new era.

An era where Chinese enterprises set the standards and prices.

And the true mastermind was her man!

...

That evening, all major tech media headlines were about Mate, and it even made it onto the Weibo hot search list.

#HuaweiMate1FirstSalesExceed300,000#

#LongQueuesAtMajorBusinessHalls#

This time, Xiaobai Unboxing recorded the video in a hotel because he attended the offline press conference.

However, this time, in addition to Weibo, the distribution channel also included Bilibili, a new long-form video application launched in June this year.

"Mate 25 In-depth Review: Self-developed System + Graphene Battery + Fast Charging, this configuration is worth 3599."

As soon as the video started, Xiaobai Unboxing tested and complained simultaneously.

"Brothers, my first impression when I got the Mate was that Huawei had gone crazy. Selling this configuration for 2599, what are they even earning?"

"After disassembling it, I briefly looked at it. The battery uses a graphene battery, the system is Taishan OS, and the universal charging port has also been redesigned...

The overall experience is excellent. This phone can be called the Chinese version of Apple, and it will usher in a new era.

Also, regarding the issue everyone is most worried about, I've checked. Although Huawei joined the Android Alliance last year, Transsion did not.

They use Taishan OS, which might really be a self-developed system... As for what the future holds, we'll see how things develop."

After a brief summary, Xiaobai Unboxing officially began the review.

It was still the familiar style, but this time he didn't throw all the accessories into the trash can; after all, this wasn't some knockoff phone!

[Xiaobai Unboxing: Transsion, I'm talking about you!]

...

Because it was in a hotel, the video progressed quickly, simply testing some functions like gaming, imaging, and photography, all briefly introduced.

The effect was indeed good.

Big Mouth Yu, though a bit boastful at the press conference, did not engage in false advertising.

Finally, Xiaobai Unboxing still spoke to the camera:

"As you've seen in previous videos, this blogger is actually very much looking forward to domestic phones rising up.

I've always said that what domestic phones lack isn't marketing, but core technology.

Today, Mate has provided the answer: battery, charging, and so on are all absolutely self-developed technologies. As for the system, let's consider it half-developed for now.

Although the chip is still MediaTek's, does MediaTek itself dare to claim this chip? It's been so heavily modified that it has little to no relation to the original anymore.

One can only say that Transsion and Huawei's collaboration is truly impressive, optimizing everything to the extreme.

If all domestic manufacturers focused on technology like Huawei and Transsion, instead of constantly engaging in marketing squabbles or price wars...

Chinese phones would have been number one in the world long ago."

Not long after this video was released, Big Mouth Yu reposted it. The view count quickly surpassed 100,000, directly topping Bilibili's trending list, and the comment section was equally explosive.

"This price is really good. I want to experience this Taishan OS."

"For 2599, what more could you ask for?"

"Blogger, quickly review it and see if it's just an Android skin."

"I estimate Samsung and HTC will be holding emergency meetings tonight because of this phone."

"Hmph, just bragging, huh? Our China developing its own system, hehe."

"Anyway, I look down on this phone. I'm waiting for the next Apple.

I only know that every penny you spend on Smartphones will eventually be converted into Apple's 'idiot tax.'"

...

After bidding farewell to CEO Ren, Shen Fei drove to Zhang Mingzhu's home in Kyoto.

In the car, Zhang Mingzhu was noticeably more relaxed. She rubbed her forehead: "This press conference was too successful. Look at that China Telecom business hall just now, it's already this late, and they're still open.

Otherwise, normally... they would have closed long ago."

Shen Fei held the steering wheel, his peripheral vision scanning her.

Tonight, Zhang Mingzhu was wearing that wine-red skirt suit, which diminished some of her student-like aura and added a unique charm of a professional woman, but at this moment, all that charm had vanished.

He smiled and turned on the signal light: "Uncle Zhang knew we were coming to Beijing for the press conference, so he specifically said he left the keys to his Kyoto house, and we don't need to go back to the hotel tonight.

We can just stay at his place."

As Shen Fei's car entered the familiar street, a faint blush rose on Zhang Mingzhu's face.

The two soon arrived at a residential complex. This was a house Zhang Shiqing was allocated years ago. Although it was allocated, it was over 105 square meters.

And because it was welfare housing, it had almost no shared common area, so the living comfort was quite good.

But ever since Uncle Zhang was transferred, Zhang Mingzhu also lived at school, leaving the house empty. However, it was regularly cleaned by a housekeeper, so it didn't seem too dusty.

"You sit down first, I'll go run the hot water."

Zhang Mingzhu draped her coat over the back of a chair and then headed to the bathroom.

Just as Zhang Mingzhu was on her way, the system suddenly sounded another prompt.

[Ding! Detected that the market share in the Chinese market has broken through 5%!

Achievement unlocked: Local Rise.

Reward: Industry Innovation Points *3000.]

Shen Fei was a bit surprised. Transsion hadn't released a single official product domestically, and those from last year were just clearing inventory. The system hadn't prompted him then, so why today...

Did another bug appear?

It was only after he checked around that he finally found the key point: Huawei Terminal is a joint venture, and 100% of its sales are counted towards Transsion's share.

Shen Fei completely broke into a smile then.

So, the sales of joint ventures were fully counted.

The better Mate sells, the faster Transsion's progress will be. It seems he'll have to give this 'half-son' more good technology in the future.

He once again brought up the task panel.

[Main Quest: Africa Market Share 20%

Current Progress: 18.7%]

Only 1.3% left. At the current pace, it would be completed in a month at most.

As he was studying it, soft footsteps came from the living room corridor again. He looked up and instantly froze.

Zhang Mingzhu was wearing a silk bathrobe, its wide neckline drooping, revealing her slender collarbone. Water droplets slid down the ends of her wet hair, dripped into the hollow of her neck, and then disappeared along the curve of her skin, hidden in the folds of the bathrobe.

She wasn't wearing high heels, just walking barefoot on the floor.

Her toes were rounded, still damp, and her hair was loosely tied back, with a few stray strands clinging to her cheeks, making her eyes appear even softer.

At this moment, she was all softness, perfectly matching the little girl she was around Shen Fei.

Seemingly not expecting him to stare so intently, her steps faltered, her ears instantly turned red, and then she raised a hand to pull at the neckline of her bathrobe, her voice as light as a feather, yet with a hint of shyness: "What are you looking at?"

But after speaking, a smile also bloomed at the corner of her mouth...
