38: Chapter 38 Let's be friends!!!

Samsung Group Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat serious; Jae-wook Cha was confirming emergency response plans for the product launch with various departments of the mobile business unit.

"Mr. Cha, Apple's launch yesterday was very successful, especially with their battery life and several innovative features. It has caused quite a stir in the industry. Do we need to take some countermeasures?"

"Let's handle our launch first. Although we lack some technological advantages, in terms of marketing and promotion, combined with celebrity endorsements, the results won't be bad!" Jae-wook Cha was very clear about Apple's technological advantages; it was an undeniable fact that could only be compensated for by other means.

"Is there anything else to discuss?" He scanned the room.

"No, although there are some new products being released, none of them have any competitiveness and pose no threat to us..."

Inside the conference room, someone was speaking, but just then, Jae-wook Cha's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and picked it up.

"What's the situation?"

"Mr. Cha, this is bad. fanmi mobile phone... that just-established fanmi mobile phone, they've innovated Fast Charging Technology and developed their own OS... and the system is very smooth. Their official website is currently live-streaming..."

"Fast Charging Technology? Self-developed OS???"

Jae-wook Cha was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood that the person calling wouldn't joke at this time. He grabbed a laptop and quickly focused his gaze on the computer screen, opening the live stream of the Fanmi launch.

"Hangzhou City... Fanmi Technology... A company established just a few months ago, how could they possibly develop their own mobile operating system? It must be false advertising... This marketing strategy is quite clever though..." Jae-wook Cha muttered, but as he looked at Lin Wenwu appearing on the live stream, his expression gradually darkened.

"Verify the situation immediately!!!"

"Without a software ecosystem, such a self-developed system is equivalent to nothing!"

Jae-wook Cha was very clear that after the Fanmi Technology launch, if those technological breakthroughs and innovations were real, it would cause a sensation across the entire industry after a short period of fermentation.

Both Fast Charging Technology and a self-developed OS... they were almost overwhelming advantages... Although he was very clear about the difficulties and weaknesses of a self-developed OS and didn't quite believe it, he had to take it seriously!

If it were true, even if Samsung's launch went smoothly, it could only become a foil for Fanmi, and even Apple's momentum would be suppressed.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to figure out the situation immediately and find response strategies.

...

...

Hangjiang University, President's Office.

"The science top scorer of Hangjiang Province, I've always been curious, why did you eventually choose our school..."

"However, these are not important anymore."

"Child, I know you are a genius, but after all, you are still a student now. This old man still hopes that you won't waste your talent and try to learn more things at school..."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The earnest words made Zhou Fan smile, and he nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, Principal, I won't let my studies fall behind!"

"That's good!" Wang Shichang nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, "Alright, go ahead, go meet your new classmates, cultivate some relationships, college life is very wonderful!"

"Okay!" Zhou Fan also smiled and nodded.

After leaving the office, he thought for a moment and walked straight towards the dormitory.

The dormitory allocation was different from his previous life. Although it wasn't the same dormitory as in his previous life, it didn't have much impact on Zhou Fan because he knew everything about those old classmates.

He could find him anytime.

In the same building, the dormitory was not hard to find. He soon stood at the door of the dormitory, Room 608.

But from inside the dormitory came bursts of exclamations.

"It really is a self-developed system. This Fanmi Technology is too awesome!!!"

"Not just the system, their Fast Charging Technology is also amazing. Even Apple's latest model takes over two hours to fully charge, not to mention other smartphones..."

"I have a feeling that if this phone goes on the market, it will sell like crazy!!!"

"I just don't know how much it will cost. If it could be cheaper, I'd want to buy one!"

"For such a high-end smartphone, I'm afraid it won't be less than four thousand even at the lowest..."

Zhou Fan walked into the dormitory and clearly saw three boys gathered in front of a computer, constantly exclaiming. It was indeed the live broadcast of the Fanmi launch.

"Hey, classmate, who are you looking for?"

Standing on the far left, wearing sports shorts and a t-shirt, looking a bit like a guy from the Northeast, the classmate noticed Zhou Fan behind him and asked subconsciously.

"I live here! Your new roommate." Zhou Fan smiled slightly and greeted politely.

"Zhou Fan??? This year's Hangjiang Province science top scorer, our super genius roommate???"

The other two also turned their heads at this time, looking at Zhou Fan with bright eyes, as if looking at a rare animal. After all, most top scorers went to Qingbei, and Zhou Fan coming to Hangjiang University was a big news in itself, not to mention becoming their roommate.

"Yeah, I'm Zhou Fan!" Zhou Fan nodded with a smile.

"You're amazing, genius. School has started for half a month, and you're just reporting in now???"

"Uh... I've been a bit busy lately, so..."

"It doesn't matter, isn't it normal for a genius to have some privileges?" The person who first greeted Zhou Fan quickly introduced: "My name is Chen Bing, from Shandong. Welcome, genius, to move into Dorm 608!"

"Qian Donglai, from Xuchang, Henan. Welcome, genius!" The chubby boy gathered on the right side of the computer spoke immediately after.

"Sun Chuyang, from Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Welcome!" The most handsome of the three, sitting in the middle of the computer, also smiled and nodded at Zhou Fan.

"Nice to meet you all!" Zhou Fan nodded to each of them, considering it a greeting.

"Genius, let's not talk for now. We are watching the Fanmi launch. The price is about to be announced. Let's watch it together... You know Fanmi, right? How much do you think it will sell for?" Chen Bing greeted, and Zhou Fan instinctively put down his suitcase and leaned over.

"I feel... it shouldn't exceed two thousand." When asked, Zhou Fan responded naturally.

"How is two thousand possible? With these introduced features, you definitely can't get it for less than four thousand..." Qian Donglai shook his head quickly. The price Zhou Fan said was a bit too outrageous.

"I feel the same. It should be around 4000~5000. I really want to own one, but it's too expensive. If it were really 2000, that would be great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it immediately..." Sun Chuyang agreed and nodded.

The price mentioned was a bit too outrageous, so he could only sigh that he still had areas where he was better than the genius.

Zhou Fan didn't say anything, just fixed his gaze on the small laptop screen, where Lei Jun's voice was coming out at this moment.

"For such a high-tech smartphone equipped with a self-developed system, Fast Charging Technology, a large-capacity battery, and various technological innovations, what is its price?"

Lei Jun's voice fell.

The next second, a huge golden number floated down from the big screen on the stage of the live broadcast.

"1999 Yuan! Let's make friends!!!"

Inside Dorm 608, several people looked at each other, and turned to look at Zhou Fan in disbelief.
