CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 276 RUTHLESS

But it seems that around me, there really hasn’t been a case of a transparent phone exploding.

Turns out, all of this was just malicious rumors.

Face-slapping!

Blatant face-slapping!

At this moment, the representatives and reporters sent by the media could no longer deny that Zhang Manlin was mocking them, mocking their ignorance!

Meanwhile, the CEOs and heads of various phone companies watching the livestream felt as if their lungs were about to burst from anger.

They initially wanted to unite and create a spectacle ensuring the brand "Elf" of transparent phones never saw the light of day, but they didn’t expect to be slapped in the face by a report from a Zhongke Institute research lab in just a few days! Mocked by Zhang Manlin at the launch event!

"What the hell is this, graphene material is so hard and resistant to high temperatures? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this back then!" President Liu from Imperial Capital Jinli Company grimaced angrily at the screen showing the launch event footage.

Far away in South Korea and the United States, the presidents of LG and Apple Inc., hearing the translators’ words, felt as though the sky was falling.

"FUCK, how could this happen? In their phones, graphene makes up over eighty percent? This is unplayable!" Cook’s face was extremely gloomy as he realized the severe consequences.

Apple Inc.’s pride in its innovation and its system seemed insignificant in front of that "Elf" transparent phone!

Moreover, the price is only two or three thousand lower than the transparent phone, which means little to users accustomed to high-end phones.

"It’s all over, the Apple brand might be ruined on my watch." Cook envisioned the grim future they might face.

Even the products Apple is currently developing, even the concept phone being tirelessly worked on by the R&D department, seem inferior compared to the transparent phone.

Perhaps in less than two years, Apple will become the next Nokia.

At the theater, during the launch event

Zhang Manlin couldn’t see the expressions of these well-known smartphone brand heads; she smiled subtly and said slowly: "That concludes our explanation regarding the phone explosion issue. Fairness lies in people’s hearts, and I believe everyone understands.

"Next, I want to introduce a new product, our simplified version of the transparent phone, the Elf Mini."

Simplified version of the transparent phone, Elf Mini?

Upon hearing these keywords, everyone present immediately sensed something wasn’t right!

In the first half of the launch event, Zhang Manlin’s response to the transparent phone explosion incident was probably not the focus; the real highlight was likely this transparent phone called Elf MINI!

Elf MINI!

All the media and representatives from phone companies instantly realized

This is probably the new low-end market phone released by Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company.

Just from the name, you could tell, MINI, meaning petite.

Elf MINI, the simplified version of the transparent phone.

At this moment, the launch event fell silent; everyone was eager to hear what Zhang Manlin would say next!

Meanwhile, in the livestream room, many viewers were delighted to hear there was a simplified version of the transparent phone, spamming the word "MINI" on the chat!

This is a historic moment.

Since its release, transparent phones have symbolized high-end luxury; for trendy young people, owning a transparent phone has become mainstream!

And now, from Zhang Manlin’s words, they learned that the transparent phone is about to have a simplified version, meaning the price will become very affordable, which is why they are so excited?

Seeing the expectant gazes of the media below or the unpleasant expressions of peers, Zhang Manlin smiled and said: "With the launch of the Elf Mini, our Elf Intelligent System will be updated to version 1.1, with some interesting features like the Smart Girl being free to ordinary users."

"The launch date of the Elf Mini phone will be the first of next month, when it will be available for sale on the official website at 2399 yuan. It’s a simplified version of the market’s Elf phone, with a screen smaller than the 5.2-inch Elf phone, and some parts of the system will be simplified...

Next, Zhang Manlin gave a detailed introduction about the updates to the Elf System version and the differences between Elf Mini and Elf phones.

When hearing the price of 2399 yuan from Zhang Manlin, everyone’s heart in the venue unquestionably boiled!

The representatives from phone companies had their minds racing like a million wild horses, while the media wore faces of disbelief. How could Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, known for high-end markets, release such an affordable phone?

Absolutely unbelievable!

However, in just a moment, the media personnel present understood the key to the situation!

This is Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s retaliation! Retaliation for those phone companies who hired people to defame their company’s phone! This move is really ruthless.

Those who realized this were filled with fear, realizing that it’s best not to mess with giants like Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company!

Initially, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company only launched two models of transparent phones priced at seven thousand and ten thousand, focusing on the high-end market, which didn’t significantly affect many domestic manufacturers.

But after such an incident, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company got angry; Jiang Cheng was furious, and the consequences were terrifying!

Weren’t you playing dirty with me? Weren’t you trying to make my phone unsellable? Then I’ll launch a low-end model to make your phones unsellable!

This move is truly merciless....

The CEOs or heads of various smartphone companies watching the launch event through the screen felt like they were struck by lightning when Zhang Manlin announced the Elf Mini!

President Liu from Imperial Capital Jinli Company felt powerless upon hearing about the Elf Mini’s advantages and price, slumping into his chair. Looking at Zhang Manlin on the screen, he suddenly recalled Jiang Cheng’s innocent smile and gritted his teeth, muttering to himself: "Too ruthless, too ruthless.... how can this....

And some other domestic manufacturers’ executives had similarly gloomy expressions upon hearing the price of the Elf Mini phone, as if they received a grave piece of news!
