Chapter 693: By this point, it had become art.
[Beep—Beep—Beep—]
[Shenglang Platform Reminder: Due to inappropriate language and excessive prohibited terms, the live stream room has now been banned.]
Things have developed to this point...
At this point, it has become art.
Seeing this prompt from the Shenglang Platform completely numbed Burke. He blankly took one last look at the carnival in the comment section; it was filled with "friendly exchanges" aimed at him, and the intensity of the language far exceeded what he had just said.
He felt his hands trembling; it was a precursor to Parkinson's.
"Damn Jiuzhou people, to be so ignorant of current affairs... Shenglang Platform is finished, the United States will ban you... When I go back, I will go find the President, a presidential executive order must be signed to strictly restrict Jiuzhou enterprises..."
As Burke spoke, he stood up tremblingly, gritting his teeth.
Just then, he saw a young man sprinting over.
"Damn it, I've tolerated you for a long time!" After saying this, he suddenly grabbed a chair and smashed it hard against Burke, followed by a flying kick, pointing at him and cursing angrily, "I don't care if I get fired! Damn, what kind of thing are you to dare to spew such filth? What's wrong with our Jiuzhou? If you have the guts, don't come here to make a living, you old dog! I'll beat you every time I see you from now on!"
Seeing him charge over, the surrounding employees rushed up to stop him.
At first, Burke thought they were being heartwarming.
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
Although they appeared to be blocking the young man and reaching out to stop the two from fighting, he couldn't help but feel... were they holding my hands? Damn it, I've been hit by him several more times!
"Oh! Stop fighting! Why are you fighting? Seriously!"
"Hurry up and pull them apart, don't let something serious happen!"
"This is a noble American, be careful or a missile will blow you away!"
While saying these things, the employees held onto Burke's arms tightly. It looked like they were protecting him, but in reality, they were restraining Burke's body, allowing the young man to beat him crazily—this was truly a classic case of "taking sides in a fight."
Since Burke's position wasn't particularly sensitive, he hadn't brought any bodyguards.
The staff present who were able to enter were just ordinary accompanying personnel.
Where had they ever seen such crazy Jiuzhou people?
The funniest part was one staff member who, while tightly gripping Burke's arms, roared angrily, "What are you doing? Stop fighting each other! Burke, you need to control yourself too! Stop throwing punches!"
Burke's internal feelings at this moment were: F*** you %... ¥#¥@#¥#¥%... I'm being restrained by you, what am I even hitting? Isn't it just because you're holding me that I'm getting beaten up by someone else? F*** your mother ¥##¥%%...
In contrast, the Huaxia Mobile launch event was a perfect success.
Whether it was the product demonstration, hardware parameters, interactive experience, or usage effects... it was the most perfect product in Huaxia Mobile's history.
More importantly, the price was thousands cheaper than the mainstream flagship phones on the market.
This phone, full of sincerity, quickly caused a sensation on the internet.
Under Chou Hua's arrangement, it immediately seized the high ground of public opinion.
In a short amount of time, it raised the expectations for this phone across the entire internet.
Furthermore, upon learning that it would be released today at the Shanghu Center, a massive army of buyers began rushing towards the location, causing traffic jams at one point.
What truly shocked Burke and the others about this launch event was not just the Semiconductor Chip.
Honestly, if it were just a 5-nanometer Semiconductor Chip, or even if it had been a 4-nanometer one, their spirits wouldn't have been so shattered.
What truly devastated them was the terrifying production capacity.
Previously, Huaxia Mobile had to find contract manufacturers for production, and the production cycle was very long.
Moreover, those contract manufacturers always had to prioritize the production capacity for Apple.
Only when there was spare time could they produce Huaxia Mobile, and there were still certain issues with quality control.
But even so, Huaxia Mobile had no choice but to work with them because there was simply no one else.
But, the launch event just announced that the initial stock for this batch was 80 million units!
What the f*** kind of concept is that?
With such a large volume, if it were being produced, they couldn't possibly have failed to receive any news.
The United States side immediately contacted contract manufacturers in Taiwan, and they all stated that The Group had not collaborated with them.
At the same time, they contacted major manufacturers with foundry capabilities globally, and all received the same reply!
That was, no collaboration!
Then where did these 80 million units come from? Did they appear out of thin air?
After excluding all the impossibilities, then whatever remains, no matter how impossible, must be the truth.
Without a doubt, the place responsible for this terrifying production capacity was the Qianlu Research Institute, a point that had already been preliminarily confirmed.
Century Ranxing Group, CEO's office.
Ran Ruqiu expressionlessly turned off the computer that was playing the live stream.
"Deputy Director Song, hmm... you really kept me in the dark for so long! Seriously, if I had known that our Qianlu Research Institute had such a production base, I wouldn't have had to worry so much! Sigh, I was still trying to figure out how to deal with those foreigners."
As she picked up the phone, she changed her demeanor and spoke in a chiding tone.
Song Yaxian was also very excited at this moment and said with a smile, "This matter... actually, it was instructed by President Zheng. To be honest, it wasn't just kept a secret from you; even most of the people in our institute were unaware of this. The production base is in a different location. Oh, of course, it doesn't need to be kept secret now! Hahaha, it's actually the new site of our institute; feel free to come visit when you have time."
"Of course I'll come to visit! Alright, alright, congratulations! I'll treat you to a meal another day!"
"Sounds good."
Ran Ruqiu threw her phone onto the desk, her teeth gritted tightly in anger.
It made a creaking sound.
The US side had only just belatedly received the news that Zheng Qian had actually started working on establishing his own production base several months ago.
The specific time was likely immediately after he finished acquiring the institute.
At the time, Zheng Qian had bought a new plot of land in the suburbs for the institute's new site.
So, during that period, when large equipment was frequently transported inside, it didn't attract their attention.
Most importantly, the lithography machines and other advanced equipment that Zheng Qian purchased were all obtained under the names of countries like Oman, making it impossible to trace directly back to him.
To ensure secrecy, many of the devices were even second-hand.
It was also a race against time; there was simply no time to spend on ordering them new, as the opportunity would have long passed by then.
The goal was precisely the effect seen today.
When Zheng Qian launched the [Huaxia Super 5G Mobile], he had already guessed that those foreigners would definitely find a way to get a few units to take back for dismantling and research, and it was highly likely that it would involve intellectual property disputes.
Therefore, the moment the [Huaxia Super 5G Mobile] appeared, he had already started arranging for everyone to focus efforts on the [Huaxia Super 2023 Pro 5G Mobile].
In other words, from the very beginning, the phone Zheng Qian truly intended to sell was this special model.
The previous one was just a smokescreen.
And more importantly, he also successfully used this smokescreen to flush out many people and events he hadn't expected.
Shang Yanxiong's series of actions were all to cover up his true purpose.
When the US Secretary of Commerce, Raimondo, visited China, her final itinerary was to go to Shanghu.
She met with Shang Yanxiong and gave instructions to obtain the data for this phone.
Everyone had been played by Zheng Qian.
Whether it was that earth-shattering battle in the shipping business or this Semiconductor Chip war, the person who successfully laughed last was Zheng Qian.
At this point, he didn't care at all about that astronomical infringement lawsuit.
Furthermore, it was impossible to lose.
What if he lost the lawsuit?
Just appeal.
Don't you like to drag things out?
Then let's drag it out and see who gets worn out first.
Anyway, the phone we are selling now is this model; it has nothing to do with the previous one anymore.
At this moment, Zheng Qian truly began to make all aspects of Shanghu feel terror.
He was perhaps a person even more formidable than Shang Yanxiong.
The man who had defeated Shang Yanxiong head-on twice.
Watching the waves he had stirred up...
Many people in Shanghu realized that, at this point, it had become art.
