5th of September.

Tiny Pepper Corporation which had close co-operation with Xing Hai Technologies had over 12 million units of sales on their first model of the Red Pepper Z1. Subsequently, they launched the second model, the Red Pepper Z2 equipped with SX-1000 high performance CPU.

Installed with the Star Cloud 1.6 system, the models operating smoothness further improved. Its other specifications were a 2K screen, 4000 mAh batteries, dual rear cameras and many more.

Because it was produced in a new factory, workmanship and quality control had been greatly improved.

In terms of pricing, the 6+64 gigabyte version would be sold at only 2299 dollars, literally as cheap as a cabbage among its peers.

After the launching of unlimited pre-sales, orders on that very day pierced 3.5 million units.

“One step behind once again!”

Lei Xiao Jun pounded his own chest in despondency. In terms of technical strength, Da Mi Technologies was definitely way ahead of Tiny Pepper Corporation. However, due to their emphasis on quality control, the underlying hardware adaptation and performance optimization took too much time. In the end, they were caught off guard by Tiny Pepper Corporation.

Da Mi Technologies would like to hasten up their steps too, but they just could not sacrifice the quality of their product for the sole reason of making fast progress. Therefore, facing Tiny Pepper Corporation’s blitz, Da Mi could only take it on firm and steady.

They held their new product conference on the 12th of September, a week later. Da Mi Technologies announced their first ever “Pure Local Series” phone – Guomi 2.

During the end of the conference, they unveiled the product’s price tag. The Guomi 2 also caught Tiny Pepper Corporations flat-footed.

2299!

The 6+64 gigabyte version of the Guomi 2 was also priced at 2299!

But the Guomi 2 was equipped with a 4K screen. Its battery capacity was 1000 mAh higher. Its photography prowess was leading by a mile with its triple rear camera. Adding on with the better workmanship by large manufacturers and so on, the price/performance ratio of the phone was way beyond a big cut… the netizens were yelling, “Tasty!”.

For these reasons, Guomi 2’s preorders on that day exceeded 3 million units.

Barring that, within the country’s boundaries, Da Mi Technologies own thousands of physical stores which established them a perfect after-sales system. Therefore, they would be almost no suspense if the final sales of the Guomi 2 overtakes the Red Pepper Z2.

“Brother Lei, are you even profiting with the Guomi 2 selling at such a cheap price?” Chen Jin gave him a call. He was very curious about this problem.

“Nope.”

Lei Xiao Jun shook his head, “Not only that I’m not profiting, I will suffer around a 50-dollar deficit for every unit sold. The Guomi 2 is just for us to make friends.”

“Do you think that this is worth it?”

“Of course! The mobile phone is the core of all our hardware products. Other hardware products can sell less, but the market share of our mobile phones must not be lost! ”

If they so lose this market, Da Mi Technologies would meet its demise in no time. They could only resort to the bloodletting tactic to withhold their territory… even if it means losing a few billion dollars every year.

Chen Jin nodded. Competition was harsh in the smart phone market. Besides, the market does not bear much profitability. This was the very reason Xing Hai Technologies was reluctant to enter this field.

However, during the end of the month, after the well-known statistical agency CuntPoint published “The Z nation’s third quarter mobile phone sales report”, all the mobile phone manufacturers within the Z nation was utterly flabbergasted.

The report said, “Smartphone shipments in the Z nation market in the third quarter were 125.06 million units, a 35% growth compared to that of the previous year.”

“Among the smartphones, 45% were installed with the Android system, 5% the IOS system, and 50% the Star Cloud system.”

“In within three months, 62.5 million Star Cloud users were born in the Z nation market, and it was still growing at a pace of 1 million users per day.”

“Trends were the direct opposite for the Android system. Their market share had suffered a sharp decline and was currently losing users at a pace of more than 1 million per day.”

“According to current tempos, in approximately two years, the market share of the Android and IOS system combined would be reduced to below 20%, the Star Cloud system on the other hand would rise to the top.”

“If no remedial measures were taken, the downfall of the Android empire would be even rapid than that of the Nokia empire in the past.”

Phuush…

This analytical report stirred an uproar. All the mobile phone manufacturers were astonished by the rapid rising of the Star Cloud system.

30th of September, late night.

After merely a few days of publicity, Hua Yao suddenly released a mysterious smart phone product.

The product model was named as “Royale ZG1”, equipped with 5 nanometer Kirin 1220 processors, local produced foldable full screens. The products first launch was installed with the Star Cloud 1.7 OS.

Since then, Hua Yao officially join the “League of Star Apps” and said that all Hua Yao mobile phones released in Z in the future would be equipped with the Star Cloud system.

This was a walloping news.

As the top domestic mobile phone manufacturer, Hua Yao mobile phones occupy nearly 30% of the Z nations smartphone market!

30% of the total market share was swept by the Star Cloud system all at an instant. The tremor it caused within the field was comparable to an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale!

Even Hua Yao does not care about Google and opted for the Star Cloud system, speeding up Android’s death, what other mobile phone manufacturers were still waiting for?

Hence, in one to two hours after the “Royale ZG1” was released, Ling Jun Dong who was still meandering in his dreams was awakened by a phone call. He received many phone calls subsequently which came one after another.

There was one from OV Mobile’s chairman Liu Tianhu, Meihong Phones’s CEO Lee Nan, Nobia’s chairman Ni Fei, expressing the same thing in overall: we want to join the “League of Star Apps”. Adding on Hua Yao and Da Mi, all the local top brands in mobile phone manufacturing applied to join the “League of Star Apps”!

Above all, the mobile phone sales of these few companies occupy more than 90% of the local market.

Once they forsake the Android system and turn to the embrace of the Star Cloud system, it would imply that the Star Cloud system had already taken down more than 90% of the mobile phone market within the country.

The massive Android empire was instantly clipped by half because of Hua Yao’s conference. If the Star Cloud system goes abroad in the future, other parts of the Android empire would also fall one after another.

Afterall, the Star Cloud system was simply too good. It was far smoother than the Android system and was generations ahead in every aspect of user experience. Every user the Star Cloud system gain would imply that those individuals would never revert to using Android… moreover, the Star Cloud system was free while the Android system had a charge.

Out of everyone’s expectations, the war between Star Cloud and Android basically concluded merely six months after the Star Cloud system was rolled out.

But Google wasn’t a company that would blindly wait for death.

Upon perceiving the unfavorable circumstances, Google’s higher ups immediately announced two major decisions:

“Our Android system will be free! From today onwards, we will not collect even a single cent! The Android system will be free forever!”

“Our engineers are currently working on a new OS which operations will be smoother than the Android. It will be launched soon! This new OS will be way ahead of the Star Cloud system in terms of operating smoothness. It will give users an experience far exceeding that of the Star Cloud system… our tech is leading, and it will always be.”

The Android’s fee abolishment and the launching of a new operating system was Google’s emergency survival plan… these responsive measures were definitely better than that of the dull Nokia empire. It implied that Google’s higher ups placed extreme value in this matter.

But… it was all to no avail.

After the Android system lost the Z nation smartphone market which occupied 40% of the world market, only the fate of decline and fall awaits Android.

Irremediable!

Planet Haierfa.

After the Helium-3 mining mission was completed.

Via the virtual projection on the communication device, Nuwa said, “Master, I have departed. Under full thrust, the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens will arrive at Mars in about five days to explore that coordinate point.”

“Go, be sure to find some clues!” Chen Jin nodded.

“Copy that!”

The plasma engine of the “Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens” that was stationed in some crater in the moon was ignited, ejecting numerous high-velocity particle streams. The crater was instantly suffused by dust, clocking the entire spaceship in amid.

“Zoom Zoom Zoom~”

Nuwa increased engine power.

The “Dark Lady of the Nine Heaves” that was humongous as a colossal beast pierced through the dust clouds, maneuvering into to the clear and endless space.

The power of the large engines at the spaceship’s rear continued to escalate and thrusted the spaceship towards the direction of Mars, leaving behind a trail of blue glow.
