Chapter 275: Fruit 4 released, China-limited mobile phone

Communication games became popular in China.

In the past, most players in internet cafes were players of *World of Warcraft*, *StarCraft*, and CS. Now it was different; the number of Tencent game players began to gradually increase.

The number of teenagers in internet cafes also began to increase.

Seeing more and more registered players, Pony Ma also began to cash out through the games.

In previous games, players needed to get items and upgrade, all of which required going into dungeons or fighting monsters.

It was much simpler in Tencent games.

As long as the top-up was in place, you could have any equipment.

If players wanted to enjoy VIP services, they only needed to top up for Purple Diamonds, and they would be different from other ordinary players.

For a time, Penguin Coins became popular.

Major newsstands and small shops were selling top-up cards for Penguin Coins.

Tencent Group's capital expanded again.

……

At the same time, *The Return of the Condor Heroes* crew.

"Mo! Your phone! It seems to be an overseas call!"

Chen Mo had just finished a fight scene, sweat flowing down his neck to his chest muscles, and his whole person looked full of masculinity.

Xu Xiaofeng didn't dare to look at Chen Mo too much and quickly handed the phone to him.

"Hello?"

Chen Mo didn't look at who it was and answered the phone directly.

"Hello? Mo, it's me, Jobs. Fruit 4 has completed the first batch of mass production, and now it can be put into the market for sale at any time."

Jobs' voice was somewhat excited.

The goal he had wanted to pursue for many years had finally been half realized!

From the beginning, he wanted to do something that could change the world. The R&D of touchscreen smartphones was undoubtedly a milestone in human intelligence.

As long as the phone was put into the market, he would be one step closer to his goal.

"Okay, then put the first batch of phones into the Chinese market first. When the second batch of phones is produced, put them into the national market."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and replied.

He still remembered that in his past life, the Fruit phone was first put into the US market.

It was only after Americans had started to get used to more advanced technology that people in other countries gradually began to come into contact with this new technology.

It was equivalent to the United States being ahead by nearly 2 years.

Now it was different.

The Fruit phone was acquired by Chen Fu and was already a Chinese mobile phone brand.

Chen Mo wanted to develop whichever market he wanted to develop.

"No problem, I'll have someone arrange it."

Jobs had no objections and agreed immediately.

For Jobs, he was not interested in company management or anything; the only thing he was truly interested in was developing mobile phones.

Having someone else make decisions for the Fruit company, Jobs was too happy to be unhappy.

As long as he could ensure that he had enough funds to keep developing mobile phones.

……

Soon, the first batch of Fruit 4 phones went on sale in China.

The first batch of phones had a total mass production of 2 million units, which was not a very large number.

Fruit 4 had just come out, and because the Fruit phone hadn't done any promotion in advance, not many people knew about this brand.

They even thought it was some knock-off brand.

So at first, not many people bought Fruit 4.

Hearing this news, people in the financial world began to mock Chen Fu.

From the time Chen Fu invested in Fruit phones, the outside world didn't understand Chen Fu's decision, and now seeing the poor sales of Fruit 4, they mocked Chen Fu's decision even more.

As for the touchscreen function that Fruit mentioned, no one believed it at all.

Every enterprise exaggerates when selling things, and these claims about Fruit 4 were just exaggerated promotion.

"Mo, I think we still need to promote Fruit 4."

Chen Fu frowned as he looked at the financial report.

He had invested a lot of money into Fruit phones, and he had acquired the entire Fruit phone company.

It was equivalent to Chen Fu being the chairman of the Fruit phone company.

Seeing the poor sales of Fruit 4, Chen Fu was still a bit anxious.

"That's simple. We just need an opportunity to ignite the Fruit craze."

Chen Mo smiled, not worried at all about the sales problem of Fruit 4.

Since Chen Mo had said so, Chen Fu didn't worry anymore.

Just leave things to Chen Mo to handle.

In fact, Chen Mo didn't do any special promotion; he just let Wang Jinghua help him book two major domestic variety shows, and then used the Fruit 4 phone on the shows.

In 2007, the phones on the market were still button-based phones.

Only Chen Mo started using a touchscreen phone on the show.

His use of it immediately aroused the curiosity of the public.

A phone can actually be used by touching the screen?

Slowly, people began to learn about the Fruit 4 phone and bought Fruit 4.

Plus Chen Mo's star effect, his fans also wanted to use the same phone as Chen Mo, and the sales of Fruit 4 rose.

Users also quickly had feedback.

"This is definitely the most convenient phone I've ever used!"

"Really not a single numeric button, a phone that relies entirely on a touchscreen."

"So advanced, I changed one for my whole family."

"Feels like I'm in a sci-fi movie."

"I heard that such a phone hasn't even appeared abroad yet!"

After most users' praise, Fruit 4 was finally known by everyone.

Major media outlets also finally officially started reporting on this phone with epoch-making significance.

"The world's first full-touchscreen phone!"

"Epoch-making technological progress, a phone only China has."

"Limited to 2 million units, will Fruit phones be mass-produced?"

"Abandoning all buttons, Fruit phone created history."

One report after another appeared.

China began to scramble to buy this limited edition of 2 million Fruit phones.

……

"Feifei, did you grab a Fruit 4?"

Yang Mi came to the crew to visit two days ago, and the two were nervously looking at the phone screen, afraid of missing a message.

"No, I entrusted someone to buy a Fruit 4, but all the phones in the store were snatched up."

Liu Yifei pouted.

Just a few days ago, no one knew what a Fruit 4 phone was.

It was placed in the mall and no one bought it.

Only a few days had passed, and Fruit 4 was snatched up.

"What a pity, I also wanted to experience the feeling of a touchscreen phone."

Yang Mi sighed.

"It's not just the touchscreen; I heard the phone's storage space is also very large, and it can store a lot of text messages."

Liu Yifei was also dejected.

When Chen Mo approached the two girls, they were sitting in their seats sighing one after another, like a high-low duet.

"What are you two doing?"

Chen Mo couldn't laugh or cry.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei told Chen Mo the reason together.

"Being a star really has no freedom; you can't even go to the store to grab a phone, and now you can't buy it even if you have money."

The two were like buns, puffed up with anger.

"Look at what this is?"

Chen Mo looked at their appearance, suddenly took out two boxes from behind, and looked at them with a smile.

"Wow! It's Fruit 4!"

Yang Mi raised her head listlessly, and when she saw the box in Chen Mo's hand, she immediately screamed in surprise.
