The new product launch event for Hua Wei phones ended amidst cheers and excitement.

The success achieved by this launch was clearly unparalleled by any other phone launch event.

At the end of the event, Hua Wei's CEO Yu Chengdong made a groundbreaking announcement in front of everyone, stating that, as a reward for the long-awaited users worldwide, Hua Wei Company is ready to release 10 million "Cicada Wing" phones on their official website for sale, until stock lasts.

Furthermore, Hua Wei Company would entrust Jiang Shipping to deliver the Cicada Wing phones to the ordering users in the fastest possible way!

This announcement drove all the media journalists and guests present, as well as the online viewers watching the live stream, into complete frenzy.

It should be known that according to the original plan, the official sale of the "Cicada Wing" phone was to take place the day after the event, and the phones would be shipped worldwide via air and sea logistics before being sold on-site.

In this way, to experience the charm and performance of the first-generation flexible phone, netizens would have had to wait at least two or three days, which was clearly a great torment for those who had just finished watching the launch.

But the "easter egg" at the event came unexpectedly!

Being able to place an order on the Hua Wei official website and receive exclusive express service from Jiang Shipping Company was definitely a huge boon!

Instantly, all the media journalists and guests present put aside their current work, took out their phones, and logged onto the Hua Wei Company's official website. The netizens watching the live stream also logged onto the Hua Wei website at the fastest speed.

A massive rush buying event officially commenced!

However, compared to the billions of netizens, the 10 million Cicada Wing phones prepared by Hua Wei Company today were clearly not enough to go around.

As a result, in just a matter of a few minutes, the ten million Cicada Wing phones were sold out, leaving those who had been a step slower pounding their chests in regret.

"Damn it, I logged onto the Hua Wei website as soon as Yu Dazui announced the news, but still didn't get one. You beasts!"

"Crying faintly! Even after practicing my kirin arm for twelve years, I still couldn't beat you big shots!"

"Did anyone get one? I'm willing to pay double for it!"

"Hahaha! I actually got one! And the price is so cheap, only 960 USD!"

"Oh my god! Is it really that cheap? That's quite a bit cheaper than the Apple X, right?"

"Thanks to Isle Master Jiang, such a conscientious product, unlike a certain Apple, whose heart has turned black, targeting our middle-class wool!"

"Exactly! The price of 960 USD is way too cheap, considering this is a new generation flexible phone!"

"Isle Master Jiang is too kind, moved to tears, I was even thinking of selling a kidney, hahaha, but now I don't have to!"

"Even though I didn't get one, seeing this price also makes me happy, hoping I can buy one at a physical store in three days!"

...

Although the first batch of Cicada Wing phones was sold out in just a few minutes, leaving those who didn't get one greatly disappointed, the price revealed on the official website excited all the netizens greatly!

Because this price is even cheaper than the well-known brands like Apple and Samsung, it is undoubtedly a very conscientious tech product.

So, the online response was extremely enthusiastic, and everyone has even more anticipation for this new flexible phone product.

Meanwhile.

United States.

California, Cupertino City.

Inside a spacious meeting room at Apple Inc.'s "spaceship" headquarters, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was sitting at the head seat, staring unblinkingly at the Cicada Wing phone price shown on Hua Wei's official website, his face revealing a serious expression.

Cook's mind was, at this moment, exceedingly frustrated!

The hot-selling situation of Hua Wei phones was something he had long anticipated; for this, he even prepared to respond to the coming challenge of flexible technology.

In this context, he leveraged upper-layer connections to eventually acquire Samsung Electronics Company.

It must be known that even though Samsung Electronics Company has now fallen to the point where everyone wants to eliminate it, it's still an incredibly powerful electronics company, especially in LCD display technology, possessing inherent advantages incomparable to Apple Inc.

And his integration of Samsung Electronics aimed to exert efforts on flexible technology, catch up with Jade Island, and regain the initiative in the mobile phone market!

But, as they're not just a step behind Jade Island, making progress in the technology pursuit isn't that simple.

Thus, to retain Apple phone users, he had to launch several new models currently in hand and then focus on flexible technology.

In Cook's view, the endeavor of Jade Island in conjunction with Hua Country's four major phone giants to fully promote flexible phones, although it can considerably dominate the future phone market, it is impossible for them to occupy the entire market.

The main reason is the price!

Exactly!

The production cost of such a new generation tech product like a flexible phone must be extremely high, which leads to its selling price being anything but low, probably even far exceeding Apple's phone price.

In this case, users worldwide who can genuinely afford a flexible phone are still in the minority.

Other users, then, become potential customers for Apple's phones, and now that Apple has successfully integrated Samsung Company, the finished product's production cost can further decrease.

Thus, the high price always criticized by the general public for Apple phones can be lowered, becoming its major advantage.

So, no matter how you look at it, the four major phone manufacturers including Hua Wei cannot completely seize Apple's market space; this is a major reason why Cook, even knowing the era of mobile phone transformation is unfolding, remains unflustered.

However.

All of this, just after he logged into the Hua Wei official website and saw the pricing of the "Cicada Wing" phone, became nothing but bubbles!

960 USD!

That's even cheaper than Apple's phones by much!

Is this guy crazy?

Can such pricing earn money?

In an instant, Cook's eyes showed a look of disbelief while all sorts of ideas emerged in his mind.

This is impossible!

Such a low price must be far below the cost of producing a flexible phone!

This is a conspiracy!

This is a conspiracy by Jade Island!

It intends to join forces with Hua Country's four phone giants to completely cripple Apple Inc.!

After much deliberation, Cook could only arrive at such a conclusion.

That is, Jade Island is joining forces with Hua Country's four major phone giants, occupying the phone market share ahead by significantly undercutting costs, thereby forcing Apple Inc. to engage in a price war and ultimately falling into bankruptcy due to unsustainable debt!
