CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 277: SHOCKING PRICE

How are those companies that rely on flagship phones priced between 2000 and 3000 yuan supposed to survive with Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s latest move?

The entire market, from high-end to mid-range phones, essentially belongs to Transparent Phones now. It seems these manufacturers truly lack the courage to compete with Transparent Phones!

There’s no reason other than the fact that Transparent Phones symbolize technology, the essence of technology, and represent fashion and trendiness.

Even if there’s a share of the future market for them, it would be very little indeed. The Elf System and Transparent Phones can firmly capture the hearts of young and middle-aged people alike!

As for the CEOs of overseas companies like Apple and LG, they are furiously cursing right now. Originally, some users might have been deterred by the high price of Transparent Phones, but now?

The Elf MINI costs only 2399 yuan, with a smoother system and higher specifications than theirs. The question is, what do they have to compete with a transparent phone that can even serve as a self-defense tool, when their phones sell for five or six thousand?

Disheartened!

This is the truest reflection of the inner feelings of CEOs from cell phone companies around the world, watching the press release of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company!

"This is truly abominable!!" These people were almost furious to the point of distress, yet they were powerless. In hindsight, it’s their own doing—they used every means at their disposal against Jiang Cheng at the start, employing thunderous measures to little effect, while the other party seems disinclined to use such methods... no!

At this moment, they refuse to admit it; they’ll only think that the launch of the Elf MINI by the other party was predestined. Otherwise, the impact on them would simply be too significant.

Elf MINI!

Everyone knows that the debut of this phone heralds the dawning of a new era in smartphones!

That is the era of Transparent Phones!

The previous Transparent Phones, even the cheapest, cost seven thousand yuan, unaffordable for most students. But now, the introduction of the Elf MINI perfectly solves this problem.

2399!

Exactly at the student phone price point!

For other domestic phones in the two to three thousand range or for several-generation-old Apple phones, what can they do to compete with the Elf MINI?

Compare battery life? System smoothness? Usability? Durability?

There seems to be nothing on the Elf MINI that cannot thoroughly outshine those phones.

In fact, after seeing Zhang Manlin’s presentation on the Elf MINI at this press conference, those cell phone users already believe that the Elf MINI can completely outclass LG’s flagship devices and Apple’s latest generation products in every aspect!

It’s not inaccurate to say these users feel this way; the fact is even the 2399-yuan low-end Elf MINI can surpass all phones currently on the market! Apple and LG phones don’t even come close!

Many people understand, many people know, that Cosmic Umbrella Technology released such a people-friendly priced phone to entirely wipe out other phone manufacturers!

Just like President Liu said upon learning the Elf MINI’s price, how can they continue?

By releasing such a phone, Jiang Cheng and Cosmic Umbrella Technology are forcing these phone companies into a dead end.

You guys are so arrogant, aren’t you? You tried to prevent my phones from selling, huh? Well then, I’ll leave you at a loss for words.

No vile tactics, no so-called concerns, Jiang Cheng took advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack, having Cosmic Umbrella Technology release the Elf MINI!

This is a lopsided battle, with victory always on Jiang Cheng’s side!

Across various live streaming platforms, the bullet comments are scrolling rapidly. This price has left gadget enthusiasts feeling shocked, surprised, and excited.

"2399, you won’t suffer a loss or be deceived if you buy it."

"Although this is a simplified version of the Transparent Phone, and its size is slightly smaller, it wins on being budget-friendly. Mom no longer needs to worry about me selling a kidney!"

"2399 yuan, such a user-friendly system, such a large memory, such an experience, and it even protects against fire, theft, and Old Wang—this will probably make other phone manufacturers cry..."

"Haha, a Transparent Phone for 2399; this is probably the funniest news I’ve heard this year."

"Hahaha, I’ll never have to put on a sad face again when my girlfriend wants a new phone, feeling sorry for my last kidney left from buying Apple."

"Long live Jiang Cheng, the male god! Love you to death!"

"Long live Jiang Cheng! Long live Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company!"

While everyone seemed to still be recovering, Zhang Manlin coughed lightly on stage, snapping many people’s drifting thoughts back to reality.

"Ahem, I believe everyone has gained a new understanding of the quality and safety of our phones." Zhang Manlin smiled smugly and continued to the media below, "On the first of next month, we will release the Elf MINI phone without any pre-orders. It will be available on our official website and in major stores at that time, where you can first try it out.

"The Elf System, the smartest smartphone system in the world, bar none."

"Our phone is also impeccable. Those competitors setting traps for our company now should probably regret it. Today’s press conference concludes here, thank you all."

After finishing, Zhang Manlin left the stage without bowing, her posture upright and her expression calm.

It wasn’t until retreating backstage, almost escaping, that Zhang Manlin noticed her palms were actually filled with sweat.

This was truly a test of mind and body for her; the strongest competitors in the entire industry were setting traps for her company. To say she wasn’t nervous or frightened would be a lie.

She didn’t know why, but whenever fear crept into her heart, thinking of Jiang Cheng’s face, exuding an aura of assuredness no matter what happened, seemed to alleviate her fear.

The conference was over, and after adjusting her mindset for a while, Zhang Manlin dialed Jiang Cheng’s number.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng was in the lab making a prototype of the Elf MINI. Receiving Zhang Manlin’s call, he knew the press conference should be over, so he chuckled, "How did it feel? Were you nervous?"

"No... not at all." Whenever Zhang Manlin talked to Jiang Cheng, she felt as though she morphed from the assertive businesswoman in the marketplace into a little woman. This sensation made her feel very comfortable.

"Chairman Jiang, it’s like this, the news that the Elf MINI is about to be released, I’ve clarified it through the press conference, and I believe it will attract competing coverage from major media." Zhang Manlin patted her chest, feeling as if a little deer were jumping wildly in her heart, and then she spoke.
