#177 - Sales Announcement

In the office of the head of Samsung's Greater China region, Pu Xingcai sat in his chair with a gloomy face, looking at the sales data released by Huaxing Technology on Weibo.

Seeing the sales figures they had achieved, Pu Xingcai felt extremely uncomfortable.

When the Samsung S4 and S5 models were launched in the Greater China market, their first-day sales were less than 300,000 units.

Now, the first-day sales of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone were simply rubbing the Samsung S4 and S5's faces into the ground.

Although Pu Xingcai was very angry now, he was somewhat helpless in this situation.

After all, his actions yesterday had already damaged Samsung's reputation and even alarmed Chairman Lee Jae-yong at headquarters.

Even if the Hongmeng X2 smartphone sold well now, Pu Xingcai could only compete with them using the most legitimate means, so he instructed his staff: "Let's see their subsequent sales first, and then consider whether we should lower our prices!"

Pu Xingcai arranged for his staff to pay close attention to the subsequent sales of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone, so that he could easily take action when the time came.

With the promotion of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone exceeding one million units sold in the first half-hour, some users who had been taking a wait-and-see attitude finally chose the Hongmeng X2 smartphone.

The Huaxing Technology office building in Piao City was filled with joy, and the atmosphere was even more lively than during the New Year.

"We succeeded! We succeeded!"

The sales data of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone exceeding 1.6 million units on the first day can be said to be very excellent, enough to make all employees proud.

The sales can be said to be very excellent, and the successful sales represent that Tianyu Company has truly become the representative of the domestic mobile phone industry.

At ten o'clock the next day, the Hongmeng X2 smartphone on Huaxing Technology's official website was completely sold out. It can be said that this time, the Hongmeng X2 smartphone completed a total sales volume of two million units in twenty-four hours.

As the head of mobile phone products at Huaxing Technology, Liu Jianyu is now experiencing both pain and happiness.

On the one hand, he is happy for his company's achievements.

On the other hand, he is rushing to contact Taiwan to have them produce another batch of Kunpeng A2 chips, so that he can continue to produce and sell mobile phones.

The popularity of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone is still unabated, and there are still many users online who want to continue buying the Hongmeng X2 smartphone.

However, in this situation where the company has no stock, Lu Haifeng can only temporarily announce that the second sale will be held at the end of the year.

The situation this time also made Lu Haifeng realize that some aspects of his company are relatively weak. After all, having a market but no goods to sell is a very frustrating thing.

On the other side, Pu Xingcai of Samsung Greater China has been paying attention to the sales of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone. When he learned that the Hongmeng X2 smartphone was sold out, he did not feel disappointed, but instead felt ecstatic.

Pu Xingcai is now ecstatic, and the sense of urgency that the Hongmeng X2 smartphone originally brought him has disappeared.

As far as he is concerned, Huaxing Technology is a small company, so what if their product competitiveness is strong? What can they do without enough goods!

The mobile phone market in Greater China is still so large, but the production capacity of the Hongmeng X2 smartphone is a bit low. In this case, there is still a lot of market share left for Samsung.

Originally, Pu Xingcai planned to have his marketing department lower the price of the phones for sale, but now this situation makes him feel that it is not necessary.

Just as Pu Xingcai was complacent, the after-sales department manager came in and said: "Chairman Pu, we have just received some feedback from users, and most of the problems with this feedback are about the phone overheating!"

"Isn't phone overheating normal? Which phone doesn't overheat?"

Pu Xingcai looked at the after-sales supervisor who came to report the news, with a hint of dodging in his eyes.

Of course, Pu Xingcai knew that the Samsung S4 and S5 models had not undergone too much quality testing.

After Samsung took over the chip foundry order from Gao Tong, they immediately started mass production of this chip processor, and it was not until mid-August that the first batch of Snapdragon 815 chip processors was perfectly produced.

Everyone knows their own business. This batch of mobile phone chip processors started production of the Samsung S4 without testing, striving to compete with Apple phones at the end of September.

Pu Xingcai also knew that the performance of the Snapdragon 815 mobile phone chip processor was very strong, but after simple testing, its heat generation was also very serious.

However, when it was discovered that the Snapdragon 815 mobile phone chip processor was seriously overheated, Samsung had no other choice at that time.

After all, Apple had already determined the date of the press conference, and Samsung could only add copper pipe heat sinks to the phone design to alleviate this situation.

However, Pu Xingcai did not expect that this Snapdragon 815 mobile phone chip processor would still have this situation even after adding heat dissipation components, which made him somewhat powerless.

Pu Xingcai looked at the after-sales supervisor waiting for a reply and had no choice but to say coldly: "Phones will overheat, which phone doesn't overheat?"

The after-sales supervisor was completely stunned when he heard what Pu Xingcai said. He did not expect such a perfunctory answer.

Pu Xingcai looked at the after-sales supervisor still in his office and showed a cold face, saying: "Don't you understand what I said?"

The after-sales supervisor saw Pu Xingcai's cold appearance and did not dare to say anything more, and retreated in fear.

Pu Xingcai watched the after-sales supervisor leave and breathed a sigh of relief. Now he is thinking about how to expand mobile phone sales in the Greater China region.

On the other side, at Huaxing Technology, Lu Haifeng had already asked Zhao Lan to collect all the evidence of Samsung's slander against Huaxing Technology, and was preparing to counterattack Samsung at that time.

Just as Lu Haifeng was collecting evidence and preparing to wait for the counterattack, Zhao Lan couldn't wait to walk in with a laptop and said excitedly: "President Lu, look at this news on the Internet!"

Lu Haifeng took the laptop and looked at it. On her laptop was news of a Samsung S6 phone exploding.

On the 16th of this month, a user in Modu (魔都, Shanghai) experienced a high-temperature self-ignition of a Samsung S6 phone while using it, and finally the Samsung S6 phone also produced a self-ignition explosion.
