41: Chapter 41 This is false advertising; they must be exposed!

A golf club in Hangzhou City.

Liu Dong was playing golf and chatting happily with Lu Qianxi, the current CEO of E-commerce platform.

"Mr. Lu, the E-commerce Platform model is not yet perfect, and your E-commerce Platform is currently at its peak. If you have any good management methods, please don't keep them to yourself. Only through more exchanges can we make progress together!"

Liu Dong said to Lu Qianxi with a smile and a sincere tone.

"Mr. Liu, you are being modest. Your E-commerce Platform is also quite good. As for management methods, to put it bluntly, these are company trade secrets!"

Lu Qianxi was also an old fox, his ability to dodge questions was masterful.

Just then, the phone in Liu Dong's pocket rang. He smiled, excused himself, and then turned around to answer the call.

"Mr. Liu, the fanmi mobile phone is selling like crazy. Ten minutes of data shows ten thousand units sold, directly crushing the sales volume of Samsung and Apple on our platform..."

Liu Dong was visibly stunned. Hearing the phone ring on Lu Qianxi's side almost immediately after his own, his eyes flashed for a moment.

"Got it. Ensure they get the maximum traffic push. Fanmi Technology is in Hangzhou City, right? I happen to be here too..."

After hanging up, Liu Dong walked back and vaguely heard the words "Fanmi Technology" again, followed by seeing Lu Qianxi's face darken.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lu? I think I just heard you mention Fanmi Technology? They launched on the E-commerce platform too, right? How are the numbers?"

"It's okay!" Lu Qianxi forced a smile, "Just six thousand units in ten minutes!"

Liu Dong was stunned, then asked curiously: "That shouldn't be right. Our platform's traffic is much lower than yours, yet we hit ten thousand units in ten minutes!"

"..." Lu Qianxi fell silent.

He naturally knew the situation. Fanmi Technology's new phone hadn't received much traffic support on their platform, yet it still sold six thousand units in ten minutes. If all internal and external traffic were pushed, the sales volume would be...

The sales amount mattered to them, but the most important thing was user acquisition, which was what they valued the most.

After all, they realized that their development had hit a bottleneck; the uneven quality of products on the website was affecting their expansion.

Yet such an expensive item as a mobile phone had sold so much in such a short time. This was an opportunity for vertical integration, but now they had deeply missed it.

"I watched their mobile phone launch event. Fast Charging Technology... self-developed system... from now on, the landscape of the smartphone field is likely to change!"

Liu Dong's voice sounded slightly emotional.

Lu Qianxi nodded in agreement. With such terrifying sales volume, unless some major accident occurred, the rise of Fanmi was unstoppable.

They ran an E-commerce platform and had a super keen sense of smell for the internet.

The results delivered by the launch of the new fanmi mobile phone had clearly proven everything!

Xingda Technology. Technical Department.

Sun Youming's phone rang continuously, feeling so hot it was about to smoke.

"Yes, we have a partnership with Fanmi. What? You want to place an order?"

"We make motherboards, chargers?"

"..." After taking call after call, Sun Youming couldn't control his inner excitement. The factory had come back to life because of the orders from Fanmi and was already operating normally. Now, with more and more orders, everything was getting better.

What he didn't expect was that the motherboard business didn't grow much, but instead, orders for the chargers, which he had already planned to give up on, kept coming in...

This left him feeling puzzled.

The collaboration with Fanmi was clearly mainly about motherboards, and the chargers were just an incidental project.

But why were all these calls asking for chargers?

"What's going on?" Just then, a voice sounded from the side. Li Dafu, the head of the Xingda Technical Department and one of the factory's founders, watched Sun Youming taking continuous calls and couldn't help but ask.

"Fanmi is a hit. Everyone is calling to inquire, and some are placing orders, but they want chargers?" Sun Youming couldn't help but frown.

"That's very normal. Fanmi Technology has many technological breakthroughs. Those manufacturers outside will definitely try their best to find the supply chain, after all, it's new technology!"

"The motherboard design is specially customized for the fanmi mobile phone and is not universal, so they naturally targeted the chargers!"

Li Dafu saw through it immediately. Because of the orders from Fanmi, the factory's motherboard technology had been upgraded. He knew from the beginning that the technology this phone possessed would definitely cause a huge reaction after it hit the market.

As for the chargers, the key core of Fast Charging Technology is the battery and the charger; it's normal for people to ask about them.

"But even if they have the chargers, it's useless without the upgraded battery from Fanmi, right?" Sun Youming was still confused.

"Perhaps some battery manufacturer had a technological breakthrough and developed a fast-charging battery!"

"I feel like something is wrong. It's better to be cautious. I'll ask about the intentions of the fanmi mobile phone side!"

"The core technology is only licensed for use. The patents are still with Fanmi and have a confidentiality period. They shouldn't be released that quickly!"

"Is there any guarantee of safety just because there's a confidentiality period?"

"..." Li Dafu fell silent almost instantly, because it didn't seem very safe at all. Take them for example; if they wanted to, they could completely perform reverse engineering.

"Anyway, be careful!" Sun Youming's face was full of gravity. He always felt that Fanmi was already in a vortex, and the days ahead would likely be full of open and hidden attacks.

Samsung Group Headquarters. Mobile Business Division.

"Do you have the investigation results?"

The atmosphere in the conference room was very heavy. Jae-wook Cha's entire face was gloomy as he asked the heads of various departments in a deep voice.

"We already have preliminary results!"

Jin Wentai, the head of the Technical Department, held a document in his hand, his tone somewhat complicated.

Everyone's eyes immediately converged.

"According to the test results, the various components of the fanmi mobile phone indeed have varying degrees of technological innovation. The motherboard structure has been optimized, the charger uses a new Fast Charging Technology protocol, and there are key breakthroughs in battery materials and various technologies!"

"Overall, whether it's the comparison of parameters or the upgrade of technology... it is indeed superior to our current stage..."

"..." As Jin Wentai reported, the atmosphere in the office became increasingly oppressive, and Jae-wook Cha's expression became visibly gloomier.

"Tell me about the system!"

The calm voice sounded like a volcano suppressing an eruption at any moment.

Jin Wentai subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that had seeped from his forehead and cleared his throat before continuing to report: "In terms of the system, they indeed use a self-developed architecture..."

"However, in order to be compatible with the software ecosystem, they also integrated android ports into the original self-developed system..."

Before the person reporting could finish, Jae-wook Cha's eyes flickered slightly:

"Is it still called self-developed if it integrates the android system? Who told you to define self-developed that way?" Jae-wook Cha's tone was cold and sharp, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone in the conference room.

"This cannot be considered a self-developed system at all!"

"That's right, how can it be called self-developed if it's compatible with other systems? It's false advertising!!!"

"Openly engaging in false advertising at a launch event is a disgrace to a technology company and must be boycotted!!"

"We must expose them and let the public know the truth. As a large group, we have such social obligations and responsibilities!!!"

"We must never let such a shameful company deceive consumers. Our Public Relations Department will prepare a plan immediately; we must make their ugly behavior public!!!"

"..." The people who could sit in this conference room were all sharp-witted; they clearly understood what Jae-wook Cha meant.

Right and wrong have no meaning in business behavior at all. Now, the appearance of the fanmi mobile phone had already affected the development of Samsung.

"Is there any movement from Apple?" Jae-wook Cha pondered for a moment and asked curiously.

"It seems they have already taken action. There are quite a few voices questioning Fanmi online now!"

"Remember, don't be so obvious when doing things. Since Apple has already made a move, let's add some fuel to the fire!"

"Yes!" Li Jinmin nodded quickly.

The office fell silent again.

Jae-wook Cha waved his hand.

"Alright, everyone go back to work!"

"I don't want anyone else besides Apple to become our strong competitor in the mobile phone market! Tell the Legal Department to prepare for an acquisition!"

"Understood!!!"
