Chapter 411 Competitors' Lament

Apple Inc., USA.

Cook has been in a good mood lately because Apple's smartphones are selling very well globally, accounting for 9% of the international market share.

Seeing the growing popularity of iPhones, Cook became increasingly ambitious, even aiming to surpass HarmonyOS phones and iPhones to become the world's best-selling mobile phone brand.

Cook's confidence stems primarily from the fact that Western countries are extremely wary of Wujiang Group and are attempting to curb its development in various ways, including through smartphones, laptops, and more.

Half of the reason why Apple iPhones were able to stand out was that European and American countries favored Western mobile phone manufacturers.

Upon hearing this, Cook's expression grew even more unpleasant.

At that moment, Cook had urgent business to attend to, so he didn't immediately watch the live stream of Wujiang Group's summer product launch.

Today, although there are several smartphone standards on the market, it is ultimately a contest between the smartphone standards of the Wujiang Group and the smartphone standards formed by the consortium of European and American technology companies, which is mainly reflected in the field of mobile operating systems.

All we can do is wait to die...

[Zhao Ye's sudden appearance at the press conference can't be anything good!]

At this very moment, mobile phone manufacturers around the world are in dire straits.

Cook was startled when he heard this.

Half an hour later, Cook felt a chill run down his spine!

He could no longer imagine how Apple phones could compete with smartphone brands under the Wujiang Group, such as HarmonyOS and iPhone.

Every time Wujiang Group holds a product launch event, Apple has someone record the event. These recordings later become one of the important materials for Apple to study its competitors.

Even before Wujiang Group's summer product launch event was over, the international market had already sealed the fate of many smartphone brands, including hundreds of brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia, all of which were experiencing severe sales slumps.

Now, the only way to survive might be to become a lackey of the Wujiang Group.

To date, global pre-orders have reached a total of 8.75 million units!

It seems like Wujiang Group's press conference lasted less than an hour! That's truly terrifying!

The competitors are stunned!

"Quickly open the video recording of Wujiang Group's summer product launch and show it to me!!!" Cook shouted to his secretary. At this moment, he could no longer sit still and wanted to understand the situation of his competitors as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, the secretary immediately made a phone call and instructed the relevant staff to send the already recorded video footage to Cook.

A short while later, Cook received the video recording on his phone, and then he sat up straight and watched the recording intently.

For a moment, Cook was at a loss, and a deep sense of powerlessness gradually welled up in his heart.

After watching Wujiang Group's summer product launch, who would still be interested in other smartphones?

HarmonyOS phones, iPhones, Honor phones, and BlackBerry phones represent high, medium, and low-end phones, giving consumers a range of choices regardless of their desired price.

Under pressure, Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea have consistently lagged behind China in the semiconductor field.

His eyes were filled with worry about Apple's future.

...

So far, Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea have only made some progress in mobile operating systems; as for other areas, they've been willing but unable to do so.

As is well known, Western countries are capitalist countries, where profit is paramount.

Cook was deeply shaken and filled with great doubt. He hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so it was hard for him to believe that Wujiang Group's technology was beyond his imagination.

Thump thump thump!!

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the office door. Cook frowned slightly, revealing his displeasure. Then, he looked away from the computer screen and turned to the door.

Cook frowned even deeper, his expression grave, and then asked, "What technology did he announce?"

While the sales of Honor phones, iPhones, and BlackBerry phones are not as high as those of HarmonyOS phones, their sales figures are still at a level that other mobile phone brands can hardly match.

"What is it?" Cook asked in a deep voice.

With its huge market and advanced technology, China is a "manufacturing powerhouse," a "manufacturing superpower," and a "world manufacturing center"—it's practically invincible.

The secretary immediately recounted to Cook what had happened at the Wujiang summer product launch, concisely and without any unnecessary details.

Unfortunately, they lack the technology required for high-end chips and the cost-effectiveness required for low-end chips.

He was, after all, the CEO of Apple, a well-known American technology giant, and he was quite knowledgeable about current science and technology. As far as he knew, no Western country had the technology that Zhao Ye mentioned at the Wujiang Group's summer product launch. These technologies were practically like the black technology that was widely circulated online!

With these technologies in its smartphones, how can other smartphone brands compete with them?

It's truly unexpected that facial recognition technology has been successfully implemented on smartphones!

"CEO Zhao Ye, chairman of Wujiang Group, suddenly appeared at this summer product launch and subsequently announced several major technologies, causing a sensation across the internet!" the secretary said hurriedly.
