Chapter 1017: Live

At first hearing it feels like mockery, but listening again, they actually have substance.

"Those who don't believe, come look—this is the old fruit phone, this is our old phone; we won't mention the brand, anyway it's a major manufacturer."

"Look at how nice the fruit's layout is, then look at ours—it's horrible to behold."

"This really tests industrial design ability."

"But now look again at our big manufacturers and the fruit's—how big a gap can everyone see?"

"We are progressing, while the fruit is still standing still."

"This isn't the key point—look at our innovations over the years: hole-punch, notch, full-screen..."

"Take another look at the fruit."

"Take another look at our rear camera: large aperture, small aperture, depth of field, telephoto, macro, infrared..."

"Look at the fruit again—it's always just copying others' ideas."

"If you think that's it?"

"Sorry, look at the functions—this is our file processing, this is our personalized customization, this is our excellent operating gestures, this is our smart-home integration, this is our fast connection..."

"These years, the fruit has only been copying, never surpassing."

"That's why I say if the fruit doesn't work harder, it's done."

"Of course, I'm talking about phone makers other than the Yang Family."

"If we add the Yang Family's, we'd be unbeatable, brothers."

The footage is of a Daxia person; he naturally captured this scene.

The Yingjiang person, listening to the other's criticism, was actually speechless.

He wanted to rebut but didn't know how.

"Since Old Joe retired due to illness, the fruit now is no longer what it used to be."

Before, we could still go toe-to-toe with the Yang Family's phones, but now there's simply no comparison.

Especially after the Yang Family's phones incorporated AI technology, the gap grew even larger.

Because of the feud, Yang Family phones find it hard to enter Yingjiang.

However, with the development of Sky Boat Sky Net technology, they are already researching phones that connect directly to the Sky Net.

By that time, it will probably be hard to restrict them.

"Hey, guys, I feel like our Yingjiang is falling behind Daxia in every way."

"Yeah, phones no good, aerospace no good, cars now also no good—if we aren't suppressing together with Ouluoba, the Yinglong series aircraft might already be flying all over the sky."

"Right, what do we have?"

"We have finance—our finance is number one globally, and our money is still the world's main currency."

"Our education is number one worldwide."

"You upstairs, are you sure? Tequ Daxue and Shanhedaxue might not agree."

"Our medical industry is number one globally."

"Our medical system, however, is the worst globally."

"Take a look at Qiongzhou now—if we were really that good, why would Qiongzhou receive tens of millions of patients each year?"

"Qiongzhou's medical industry earns over ten billion USD yearly, already becoming its pillar industry, and this trend is still expanding."

"Because more and more people are accepting traditional Chinese medicine."

"Our agriculture is number one worldwide!"

"Yes, Qiongzhou now prohibits our seeds from entering its entire territory; GMOs find no takers there either, and in the future this will become the norm across all of Daxia."

"They prefer native strains."

"Moreover, I have information showing that Qiongzhou is undertaking deeper agricultural reform, exploring tech-driven agriculture, and for that they are also promoting seawater desalination projects."

"Why do you upstairs keep speaking up for Daxia?"

"Hai hai hai! Because I'm a Daxia person, hahaha..."

"Fuck!"

"Cut it!"

"........."

"There are too many old sixes in Daxia."

"Exactly!"

"Could we have been wrong?"

"........."

Defense broken, big defense broken.

Originally they still felt full of themselves.

In the end, they couldn't do anything.

"This isn't right, this isn't right—it's not what our media said."

"This is too much—I originally thought we were number one in the world, but now everything fails."

"No wonder the new industrial revolution is happening in Daxia—turns out they've already surpassed us."

"We've been deceived terribly."

"Yeah, I've always thought Daxia still looks like it's wearing braids and can't afford tea eggs."

"Yeah, if it weren't for Lao Jieke's livestream, I couldn't even imagine Daxia being this advanced."

"Then what do we have left? Movies?"

"You upstairs, Azure Rainbow Media is Daxia's!"

"That semiconductor?"

"Since our Tianmen and Hualight and other semiconductor companies made breakthroughs, our high-end semiconductor market share has risen from 20% to the current 50%."

"And our low-end semiconductors already occupy 70% of the global market."

"This is still under the premise that Yingjiang keeps pressuring us constantly."

"Of course, we also have to thank Yingjiang; without you, we wouldn't have developed so quickly."

"Because even if they could buy, many people in Daxia still dislike spending time and effort on research and development."

"It is you who forced us to become self‑reliant."

Breaking through defenses……

"We have cultivated a powerful enemy for ourselves."

"No wonder Jason and Catherine kept urging us to integrate into Daxia."

"Poor Jason, he just said some truth and then he was gone."

"By the way, why do I feel their after‑sales service is like a factory?"

"You see their machines; many are the kind used in factories."

"Are those machines re‑soldering components?"

"And that's not all; they also have cleaning and testing."

"That's an automatic laminating machine; I saw it on Kickstep."

"So professional."

Catherine now also feels a little surprised at Tonghe Company's capability.

"This is no longer just after‑sales; it's almost a factory!"

She couldn't help but ask.

"Are there this many after‑sales services now?"

"Is it because there is more work now, or were there more repair jobs before?"

Fang Huaiyu led them to a workstation.

"We have already taken on several small manufacturers."

"So we are not short of orders."

"Compared with before, naturally we have more work now."

"Previously many manufacturers had their own after‑sales departments; even if they didn't, they would find cooperating partners."

"They are all semi‑monopolistic."

"My previous company handled after‑sales repairs for one of the brands; because of exclusivity, my orders weren't many."

"Now we can not only take after‑sales from other manufacturers, but also accept repair orders from the public."

"Moreover, it's nationwide; you see their live broadcasts, which are essentially a way to communicate with customers."

"Of course, some peers will also give us orders they cannot handle."
