Now Xia Xing doesn't need any reflection or shackles.

Xia Xing Axon 50 Ultra adopts a similar curling body shape design idea as the Jiaolong X1, but its front screen and the camera on the back body cover both use flat screen camera technology, and the overall curling up looks like a slightly wider watch. .

The stretched visual look is simple and grand, and the details are also very meticulous. The new generation OLED screen provided by BOE also has screen quality that is not inferior to that of Jiaolong X1, with a peak brightness of 1500nit, supporting 120Hz intelligent high refresh rate and 360Hz touch screen. Control the sampling rate.

Of course the most important thing is the price.

Electronic products do not have rubbish performance, only mismatched selling prices.

Xia Xing Axon 50 Ultra is Xia Xing's masterpiece that once again hits the high end and dominates the market. The price is very "traditional" and comes back.

The CEO of Xia Xing Mobile confidently announced to the world: "Xia Xing Ax+256G, the price in Daxia is 4799, and the price in Europe is 699 euros."

Yu Chengdong, who had followed Xia Xing's mobile phone conference all the way, his ears stood up when he heard this number.

He looked at the acquaintance with a smile on the screen, and his heart felt like a herd of grass and mud horses rushing past.

"What does Xia Xing mean? The price is the same as ours, but the price is 1 euro lower than ours in the West??

Want to join us in grabbing mid- to high-end consumer users in the West? "

Xia Wei's senior executives immediately began discussing countermeasures in a small group, while mobile phone manufacturers such as Rice and Opo were confused.

Flagship phones priced at 4,000 yuan have always been a battlefield for them. Xia Wei and Xia Xing have put their own flagship phones at this price, so how can they still play?

If manufacturers such as OPO and Yijia are still a little calm, rice executives have gone crazy.

No one has ever seen such a crazy side of Lei Jun.

Yelling, smashing things, and the bloodshot eyeballs all reflect the very unstable mentality of the founder of rice mobile phones at this time.

But at this moment, the same is true for other senior executives of Rice.

For example, the president who once served as a senior executive at Qualcomm was frowning and his eyes were wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

For example, the person in charge of the rice mobile phone system is now even more afraid to breathe. He sits in his seat with his head buried like an ostrich.

Although I didn’t get the actual phone, just by looking at the configuration, everyone knew that the glory of rice phones may have become a thing of the past.

Four thousand mobile phones are not only stacked, but also designed to seamlessly connect the mobile phone and the watch. This is simply a revolution and has revolutionized the lives of countless colleagues.

The response of financial markets has been very "honest".

Rice's stock price suddenly plunged sharply during the session, once falling by more than 7%, and nearly 10 billion in market value evaporated.

On the evening of March 14, Rice Group announced that it would repurchase shares in the open market at an irregular amount of up to HK$9 billion in an attempt to rescue the market.

Some investors believed that rice had been maliciously shorted, and then countless big Vs and Leeks forwarded the latest news on Xia Xing and Xia Wei's mobile phones, slapping them in the face like crazy.

Even foreign investors have sincerely begun to reduce their holdings of rice stocks. CITIC Lyon reduced its holdings by 5 million shares, and Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch all reduced their holdings by more than 2 million shares.

Suddenly, the Hong Kong stock market was in turmoil, and many investors returned to Big A and the Yan Stock Exchange to "take refuge."

Xia Xing's previous large-scale traffic promotion also received very good feedback at this time. Not to mention the domestic media in Daxia, even many Western media and netizens called me "I want to buy it" after seeing the promotion and experiencing the real machine after it was launched.

“Buying such a cutting-edge technology product for 699€ is like giving it away for free.”

"Xiaxing will be the flagship after 2020. If this screen can withstand falls for a year, I will probably buy Xiaxing's flagship next year."

"Watch, mobile phone! And it's full screen! I no longer know how to share my inner joy and shock. The Pingguo in my hand now is like the Nokia of the past, and it brings me nothing but nostalgia."

"The large screen of the Jiaolong X1 and the small curling screen of the Xiaxing Axon 50 Ultra make it a real pleasure to work and live at the same time, and the latter is so cheap, praise God."

“Hey guys, the under-screen camera area of ​​Xiaxing’s phone has a high pixel density of 500PPI, which is incredible!

There are also cool smart image quality enhancements, smart de-fogging, and smart anti-glare. I can't live without it and have bought several for my family, it's so great! "

While netizens in Daxia are still fighting for peace with fruit fans, many netizens in the West have begun to act as Xia Xing's imperial guards, recommending this phone to their family and friends.

Xia Xing Axon 50 Ultra is equipped with the new Chenxing T10 chip manufactured by Xia Xing. It even achieved a terrifying score of 300W in the benchmark performance test, so there will be no lag or delay in performance.

Of course, Xia Xing also has weaknesses compared to Xia Wei Mate 60, that is, the screen is small, and the power supply and standby time of the mobile phone are only at a passing level. From this aspect, the two have enough differentiation to separate user groups.

The two companies are like gangsters, fighting like crazy in the Chinese mobile phone market and making money in foreign markets. Both companies activated millions of mobile phones in the first week, and then they got out of hand. In the second week, Both exceeded two million.

The sales volume of mobile phones in the world is already certain. Xia Xing and Xia Wei's unruly behavior not only made the late Korean star mobile phone shed tears of envy, but also made Pingguo, who was once unattainable, become It has been criticized by countless Western netizens.

"Daxia can produce carbon-based chips and curling screens, but Pingguo is still using Korean screens and backward silicon-based chips from TSMC."

"If the iPhone 14 does not have a carbon-based chip, a rolling screen, or even an under-screen camera, then I will definitely not buy it again."

"Spiritual leaders go to heaven to make mobile phones for Jesus, while the devil Satan makes garbage for us on earth, haha."

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

The more flagship phones of Xia Wei and Xia Xing were sold around the world, the more doubts Pingguo encountered. Amid growing disappointment, US stocks began to fall sharply. The Nasdaq closed at 11,754.23 points, down 332.04 points, or 2.75%;

Large-cap technology stocks in the U.S. fell. Stocks that had finally rebounded under the stimulus of multiple rescues fell more than 3% in one day, and their market value fell below the $2 trillion mark, closing at $1.95 trillion.

Amazon fell more than 4%, falling directly below the trillion-dollar market value.

U.S. major crude oil and gold futures also closed down.

How have investors seen the crazy fluctuations in the U.S. stock market in the past few months? Many people and institutions are beginning to be truly worried about the U.S. economy and inflation.

Analysts from the Financial Associated Press said that the inflation report may not only seriously affect the market's next round of trading, but also affect the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision later this year.

Some traders even resigned directly and "went to work in Daxia", and some small and medium-sized institutions with more than one billion US dollars in funds began to deploy in the new "Yan Exchange".

Under the severe fluctuations that have lasted for several months, the economic data is not good-looking either.

The U.S. Labor Department reported that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time rose to 229,000 in the week ended March 4, a new high in the past five months. The market is expected to be 210,000. The figure released last week was 200,000.

The job market has clearly become extremely tight. Companies in areas such as technology and mortgage refinancing have already begun massive layoffs.

As leading companies in the U.S. stock market, listed companies such as technology and semiconductors have been entrusted with important responsibilities at this critical moment.

CEOs of Pingguo, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, National Electric and other companies began to frequently announce good news to the outside world.

Pingguo CEO once again told reporters with a smile on his face: "We have seen that the market has responded enthusiastically to carbon-based chips, so we want to tell everyone that we, Pingguo, also have channels for carbon-based chips. We are not the only ones in the world. A company can OEM carbon-based chips.

We have noticed that consumers are starting to switch brands. This is very scientific. After all, those mobile phones can only be aggressive at this time. The new generation iPhone 14 will definitely satisfy everyone.

Therefore, all shareholders, please keep the stocks in your hands, otherwise in the future, you will regret it just like you did not hold our company's stocks when Pingguo first went public. "

Confident, full of sincerity, and some little revelations that can only be understood but not explained. Although it is just a verbal skill, it does fool some people.

Moreover, many careful U.S. stock investors discovered that when Pingguo's stock price plummeted, some people were indeed buying the Pingguo shares that were being sold.

This discovery caused many investors to explode and curse.

"Bichi! This is all a conspiracy of the organization!"

"They want us to sell our stocks at a low price and then sell them to us at a higher price in the future!? This is robbery! This is banditry!"

However, despite the criticism, Pingguo's stock has not risen as before, but the rate of decline has slowed down...

Large-cap technology stocks in the U.S. fell. Microsoft's lack of hard power caused a feat of evaporating US$96.5 billion in market value overnight.

Not only that, many popular Chinese concept stocks listed in the United States have also fallen collectively, with the proportion falling by more than 14%, and NIO falling by more than 7%.

The U.S. stock market is like a crumbling giant building. The Federal Reserve and Wall Street have begun to repair the east wall to repair the west wall. The military-industrial complex is also beginning to stir up troubles. This planet, which has never seen peace for a day, has been experiencing more and more disputes and frictions since March.

The Federal Reserve is now in a dilemma. It is feasible to raise interest rates to absorb the pressure from the stock market, but if the bond market goes into a storm because of this, it will also have horrific consequences.

Without raising interest rates, if large sums of money are invested in the stock market, technology, and military medical care, it will require a very "favorable" phenomenon to allow this money to flow.

Pingguo Capital, which emerged in the 21st century, could no longer withstand the pressure at this time. In addition to quietly laying off employees, TSMC and Hanstar Semiconductor, the main component suppliers of Pingguo mobile phones, were summoned to Pingguo headquarters by Kuko.

Li Zairong, the head of Korean Star Group, said at this time that he could not bear the pressure and needed to take sick leave, so he was absent from the meeting.

The specific content of the meeting was not leaked, but after the meeting, Pingguo's contacts with Daxia Jiuzhou Technology Company began to become more frequent.

Even Pingguo CEO Ku Ke personally communicated with Yuan Sheng, Zhou Yi, Huang Chaoren and others several times. He praised the research and development results of Jiuzhou Technology in both words, and said more than once: "The culture of Daxia is really broad and profound. The meanings of Chinese characters are even more bizarre, so I think this should be the reason why your company's programming language can be so powerful."

He both praised the culture and affirmed its power, and then he revealed his true feelings: "We have the most engineers and innovators on the planet. If we can cooperate, both the East and the West will tremble under our feet." , Technology knows no borders, and close cooperation can enable rapid development of science and technology."

Cuco not only said this to one person, he basically expressed it similarly to the core senior management of Jiuzhou Technology. In addition to Cuco, the CEOs of AMD, Nvidia, and Microsoft also Almost all have similar interactions.

Although it seems a bit shameless, it does increase the workload for Huang Chaoren and others. Therefore, on a dark and stormy night, the giants of Western technology companies and the senior management of Jiuzhou Technology have a large share of "secrets that have to be told". Intelligence materials appear on the desks and mailboxes of certain newspapers and media outlets.

Of course, most of these files are random narratives and even require payment to unlock.

At this time, the economy is in a sluggish state, and many companies are laying off employees or about to lay off employees. The profits of newspapers and media are not what they used to be. Now that we have such big materials, how can we not be willing to donate generously?

So on April 1st, this special April Fool’s Day, many jaw-dropping news were reported.

"The tech giant actually talked to another man all night long in the middle of the night, and even said they wanted to sleep together?" ! 》

To show that you are learning the Daxia culture, learn and use the idiom of sleeping with enough strength.

"Nvidia and AMD shake hands and make peace, and the CEO and president go to the summer for their honeymoon!" ? 》

Huang Chaoren and Su Ma discussed the time to expedite the resolution of the core technology export issue regarding their previous cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology on technology licensing.

"The CEO of Pingguo turns out to be Nantong!" 》

Pingguo CEO Ku Ke had long conversations with many male executives of Daxia Jiuzhou Technology all night long, and frequently expressed goodwill and hoped to have dinner together.

As soon as these reports came out, not to mention anything else, they did gain a lot of traffic and clicks on April 1st. Everyone applauded the creativity of these media.

“It’s a little cheesy, but it’s fun.”

"Hahaha, this is a perfect April Fool's Day, thank you."

"I wonder if your company will have any problems slandering these chaebol bosses..."

"Look at the social status of these elders, how can they care about it?"

Netizens and civilians are laughing, but corporate executives such as Pingguo, AMD, and Nvidia cannot laugh.

"Find out for me! Who leaked the news!"

"Start your self-examination immediately! From top to bottom! I want to know who is betraying us!"

"Privacy! Our privacy!"

The angry executives wanted to skin these hackers and traitors and remove their bones.

Netizens who were in a happy mood suddenly discovered that these media and newspapers were still carrying out follow-up reports after a happy day.

PS: I didn't sleep well all night last night - so I crazily caught up on sleep during the day.

The update is a bit late, sorry.
