126: Chapter 126 Vanmi 2 and Peace Fruit 4, they went head-to-head!

Hangzhou City Convention and Exhibition Center.

The grand building is one of the iconic landmarks of Hangzhou City.

At this moment, many people have gathered in small groups in front of the building, creating a lively scene.

At the entrance of the exhibition center, a huge advertising slogan stands by the entrance and exit, attracting everyone's attention: The Light of Technology, Shining Because of You!

Beside the slogan is a hazy image of a mobile phone; its full appearance is not clear, but the silhouette alone exudes a sense of technology and a high-end texture.

"So many people came to the press conference this time!"

Not far away, Qiu Zhengyang, Wu Chen, and their companion slowly approach. Looking at the gathered crowd and the lively scene, Qiu Zhengyang can't help but speak up.

He clearly remembers that when he attended the fanmi 1 phone launch a year ago, the scene was far less lively than it is now, and he even heard doubts all along the way.

The current Fanmi has clearly gathered a group of fanatical fans.

Although they heard many voices of doubt on their way here, the most discussed topic was whether the Pangu System would truly break away from android.

"Apple's press conference seems to be today as well!" At this moment, Yu Zhengqing's voice sounds, carrying a hint of seriousness: "I wonder how the situation is over there..."

"Who cares how it is!" Wu Chen smiles and says seriously: "Anyway, I have confidence in Fanmi, and even more confidence in Zhou Fan!"

"Our Jinjiang Bookstore still needs to rely on the fanmi mobile phone to take off. We and Fanmi are now considered a community with a shared future, so speak more auspiciously for me!"

He glances at Yu Zhengqing and reminds him.

The online reading app Jinjiang Bookstore, which the several of them co-founded, also completed its final testing a month ago and had all its funds invested into some promotion.

Afterward, Wu Chen went to see Lei Jun again and successfully secured the first angel investment, which kept him excited for three whole days; he still feels like he's dreaming even now.

"I'm just reminding you not to be happy too early... We should at least pay attention to Apple's situation. I heard that the apple 4 they launched became an instant hit as soon as it was released abroad!"

"Pre-sale units of the overseas version have already started appearing in many places, and they are hard to come by. If you want to buy one, you have to pay a premium, and the price is ridiculously high!"

"Only a fool would buy that. Isn't using a fanmi mobile phone better?" Wu Chen curls his lip.

"Everyone has the right to choose, you can't really say that..." Qiu Zhengyang's expression is somewhat serious as he looks at the large poster at the venue entrance, sighing softly in his heart.

Although he doesn't yet know the specifics of the apple 4 launch or the exact price of the National Edition, judging from the promotion of the apple 4 during this period and the online response, it is definitely the most powerful competitor for fanmi mobile phones.

And it is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

Even he thinks that the fourth-generation phone launched by Apple this time is truly impressive. Both the system and the chip are self-developed, so the smoothness is definitely beyond reproach. It has also followed up with Fast Charging Technology, and the overall design is exquisite and fashionable. It is claimed to be the thinnest smartphone in the world at the moment, at only 9.3 millimeters.

Because this phone has already been released abroad, Qiu Zhengyang has seen pictures online. It is indeed perfect; the design is like a piece of art, full of texture.

The high-resolution screen makes the text and images on the phone clear enough to be amazing. At this stage, such a high-resolution display is definitely leading the way.

There is also a 5-megapixel camera that supports HD video recording, as well as an LED flash and autofocus. In terms of user experience, it absolutely blows the previous Samsung camera phones out of the water; there is almost no comparison between the two.

There's also the video calling feature, claimed to be a revolutionary innovation... along with multitasking, folder management, and other innovative designs... all of which greatly enhance the mobile experience.

After this phone was launched abroad, its popularity was definitely no less than that of the fanmi 1, if not more. Especially the most popular white version, which has been speculated to a sky-high price of over ten thousand yuan.

"The most ridiculous thing now is that Apple actually moved up the time of its press conference to target the fanmi 2. It's clearly intended to go head-to-head with Fanmi in a duel!"

Yu Zhengqing sighs again.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to compare it with Apple. After all, Fanmi still has the advantage of cost-effectiveness. As long as the fanmi 2 released this time still has enough innovation, people will still support it!" Qiu Zhengyang says with a wry smile.

He actually understands Fanmi's current situation very well, having gone through the suppression by giants, the blockade of chips, the collective cut-off of suppliers, and one public opinion crisis after another...

In Qiu Zhengyang's view, it is already very difficult for Fanmi to release new products as scheduled. He certainly cannot demand the launch of a 'pure-blood' version of the Pangu System.

After all, so far, there has been no news revealed that Likely a semiconductor company name has any deep cooperation with Fanmi, which already means that the pure-blood Pangu System will definitely be delayed.

"Didn't you ask Zhou Fan about the situation?" At this time, Yu Zhengqing suddenly asks Wu Chen.

"I asked, but he told me to come to the press conference and see for myself..." Wu Chen smiles wryly.

"I'm afraid he also doesn't want to admit personally that he's inferior to others..."

Qiu Zhengyang sighs again. He can imagine that after experiencing so many setbacks, only a compromised product could finally be launched.

For a proud person like Zhou Fan, he would certainly be unwilling to mention it much.

"All that talk is just speculation. Won't we know once we go in and see!"

Wu Chen is not as pessimistic as Qiu Zhengyang and the other at this time, because when he called Zhou Fan, he didn't hear any frustration.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Fan, that calm and indifferent tone actually represents many things. He can be certain that Zhou Fan has confidence.

Since he has confidence, this phone will definitely not be bad!

"Let's go, let's head in first..."

Qiu Zhengyang nods, and then the three of them walk into the press conference venue together.

...

Meanwhile, at the Apple press conference site.

The sea of people is even more explosive than at the Fanmi side.

There are even many people who didn't manage to get tickets gathered outside the venue. The heated discussions and noisy sounds make the atmosphere on-site even more intense.

"Guess what the price of the apple 4 National Edition will be?"

"It shouldn't be lower than five thousand, right? I heard that some mobile phone stores have channels to get gray market goods, and they've already been speculated up to ten thousand..."

"Ten thousand?? That's too expensive. Five thousand is still acceptable..."

"What's expensive? Rich people don't care about this bit of money at all. If you can't afford it, learn from those ruthless people online and sell a kidney; then you'll be able to afford it!"

"That's toxic. Selling a kidney for a phone?"

"If you can't afford it, what are you doing here? Go to the Fanmi press conference. Their reskinned android knockoffs are cheap, 1999 yuan. Go make some friends there!"

"..."

The endless voices reaching his ears make Chu Kun frown deeply.

He glances at the few people chatting and curses them as hicks in his heart.

Acting as if buying a phone makes them superior. He knows the fanmi 1 phone; the price of 1999 is indeed cheap, and it also has quite a few innovative highlights.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen the prototype of the apple 4, he might have checked out the situation of the fanmi 2 first. It's not about being greedy for a bargain; money doesn't matter.

To him, several thousand or ten thousand yuan is just a week's pocket money. His family background is not bad, and his monthly living expenses are at least twenty to thirty thousand.

It's just that after seeing the apple 4 for the first time, that stunning feeling made his heart skip a beat.

That's why he came here.

Actually, he also has a ticket for the fanmi 2 press conference, but he didn't expect Apple to suddenly change its conference time, so he could only come here first.

"I hope you won't let me down!"

Looking at the posters at the apple 4 press conference, with that design-heavy body and the phone that looks like a piece of art, he mutters to himself.
