I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 156: Apple phones falsely labeled 5G, problems broke out

Yang Chen could tell that Mario was really happy, he smiled and replied: “Fuck! I want to help you make a lot of money, and also help you attract firepower, how can I be so kind? Even if Jesus possessed me, I can’t be so kind.”

Mario laughed and said, "Mr. Yang, that's not right. Our goods are all produced by you. We make a lot of money, and you make even more. If we can penetrate the global market, your costs will continue to fall, and more jobs can be created. You and your country will benefit more."

“Haha… your analysis seems to be correct. How about this, I will start with the Bald Eagle’s star enterprise fruit, do you think it’s enough?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

I started short selling before the New Year and got criticized. I guess I will be discovered soon. Now I bring it out to fool Mario, make him happy, and let him start the OLED project as soon as possible.

Mario was shocked and said, "Really? This is too important! Can you short sell it successfully? These are the star companies recommended by the Bald Eagle family. The stock market rises thanks to those star companies."

Yang Chen smiled and said, “It seems that you haven’t heard of my story. This is a good opportunity for me to show you my strength. Let me tell you this, as long as I target any company, its value will fall until I stop.”

"I have heard of Mr. Yang's deeds, but I still think it is unlikely that you will succeed in shorting. If you can successfully short fruit, and you have new products in the future, I will help you sell them to the world under your own brand. In this way, you can avoid the sanctions of the Bald Eagle, and we can make a lot of money together." Mario said.

“Okay! It’s a deal! Let’s stop here. I’m going to get off work. Bye.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

In the evening, the Bald Eagle stock market opened.

Sihai Investment once again shorted Fruit Group stocks worth about 10 billion Eagle Coins. At this time, they had shorted a total of 35 billion Eagle Coins worth of Fruit Group stocks. Since the market value of the shorted stocks this time was relatively large, Fruit Group noticed something was wrong.

Kurk personally contacted the brokerage firm to learn about the situation and discovered that the accounts that shorted the Fruit Group's stocks included those from Longguo, Bald Eagle, and various European countries. These accounts had one thing in common: they were all new accounts that had been registered not long ago.

Kurk tracked the sources of funds in these accounts through the i-bank system and eventually found the international general accounts opened by Sihai Investment in the five major banks in Longguo.

"Fuck! Secretly shorting our stocks is not gentlemanly at all!" Kurk said with a smile.

It can be seen that Kurk was not panicked at all, which meant that he felt that Yang Chen would not be able to succeed in short selling.

The Fruit Group issued a statement overnight, condemning Sihai Investment for its short selling of the Fruit Group.

"Our company has always abided by the law in the Longguo market and maintained good relations with the Longguo government and the public. Longguo customers have always given high praise to Aipao mobile phones over the years, which is enough to show that our product quality is excellent and can withstand the test of the market. However, even a company like us that is committed to providing customers with high-quality products has been unreasonably shorted by Longguo Sihai Investment, with a short-selling market value of up to 35 billion Eagle Coins. We need Sihai Investment to give us an explanation as to why they shorted our stocks for no reason. We have enough confidence to maintain the company's stock price, and excellent performance and loyal customers are our guarantee."

The fruit company's announcement quickly spread on the Internet, and even Elon Masters got involved.

Elon Masters: Haha... Although I don't approve of any short selling, I still want to give a thumbs up to Sihai Investment. I have said before that Apple has no innovation. Each generation of products only changes the camera layout, and there is no other modification. It is a product that harvests the IQ tax of Apple fans. Look at the products of other brands. Almost every generation of flagship phones will have innovations and highlights. If a company with the name of a technology company has no technological innovation, let it go bankrupt as soon as possible and give the market to other innovative companies.

Bald Eagle netizen Duncan: Can Elon Master shut up? Shouldn't you join hands with Apple to deal with Sihai Investment? Regardless of whether Apple Group has innovation or not, now is not the time for you to take advantage of others' misfortune. Please stand with Apple Group, okay?

South Korean netizen Li Zhongji: Yang Chen is too arrogant. He is shorting Samsung here and shorting Fruits there. How dare he short the two strongest technology companies in the world at the same time? This time, let us South Korea and the Bald Eagle join forces to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful we are.

Mohammed, a netizen from the Kingdom of Sand: Wow, Yang Chen is so handsome. He actually dared to short Sanxing and Fruit at the same time. These two mobile phones are the two best-selling brands in the world. If he can succeed in shorting this time, I must go to Dragon Country to find him for cooperation opportunities.

Da Mao netizen Andre: I really admire Yang Chen so much, there is no company he dare not short. Apple phones are the worst phones, without any commercial contract spirit, they turned our phones into bricks at will. We have no ability to take revenge, please Mr. Yang Chen, please make sure to short successfully and avenge our old friend!
……

Now that the Internet is well developed, as long as it is not banned content, basically Chinese people can see relevant news about any important things happening on the Internet when they wake up in the morning.

Just now, when the Chinese people were browsing Douyin and Weibo early in the morning, they saw the news that Sihai Investment shorted Apple by 35 billion Eagle Coins.

"Haha... I said Boss Yang would definitely short Fruit. Now my words have been proven right? Fruit is so ignorant that it dares to cancel its cooperation with Sihai Electronics. If I were Boss Yang, I would also take revenge on it."

"No way, Boss Yang is too awesome. The Sanxing deal isn't over yet, and now he's involved in the fruit business. Is he really not afraid of losing his hands? It is said that Sanxing has also shorted stocks worth 50 billion Eagle Coins. If the position goes bankrupt, the loss will be huge."

"I admire Boss Yang's courage. Regardless of whether he can succeed in the short selling, he is the only one in the world who dares to do this, right? If it were anyone else, they would never dare to short sell Sanxing and Fruit at the same time. If Boss Yang can still win this time, he will be completely deified."

"The performance of Sanxing and Fruit is so good. The products are selling well, and there is absolutely no data fraud. I have been trading stocks for 20 years, and I don't know how Boss Yang can succeed in short selling."

……

Yang Chen received a call from Wang Wenkang as soon as he arrived at the company.

"Mr. Yang, is this safe?" Wang Wenkang said with a smile.

"It has to be stable!" Yang Chen replied confidently.

Wang Wenkang laughed and said, "Okay, I feel relieved when you said that. If there is any pressure from above, I will help you bear it!"

"Thank you Mayor Wang for your support. By the way, do you have any land you can give me? I want to build an artificial intelligence industrial park. Please give me another 3000 acres of land." Yang Chen said.

"Yes! We must have it! Artificial intelligence is good, and we must do it. I will hold a meeting to study it right away. As long as you run the business seriously, we will definitely fully support you. Haha..." said Wang Wenkang.

If a city can have two industrial parks covering an area of ​​3000 acres and provide hundreds of thousands of jobs, it would be a great political achievement.

Yang Chen now also experienced the treatment that Hu Shikang received back then. He thought about how generous Hu Shikang was when he acquired land in cities like Shenzhen. All the land within his sight was given to him, and all cities would unconditionally meet his demands.

After all, building an industrial park can provide tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of jobs, drive the surrounding economic development, increase fiscal revenue, etc. There are so many benefits.

The scale of the industrial park that Yang Chen wants to build now will be even larger than Hu Shikang's, and the city government will definitely actively support it.

After a while, the president of BlackRock called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, why are you suddenly shorting fruit? We still hold fruit stocks." Pacquiao said.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “You should understand my temper. Fruit Company publicly terminated the cooperation and instigated Dachuan Computer to ask me for money. I can’t let them go. If you were smart, you should have sold your shares in Fruit Company long ago.”

Pacquiao smiled and said, "Haha... Mr. Yang, don't misunderstand me. I'm not asking you not to short the fruit company's stock. I'm just reminding you that we hold the fruit company's stock and can lend it to you. After the transaction, you just need to return us an equal amount of stock, give us 6% interest, and help us bring the stock price back up."

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said, "You know how to make money, so you can lend me your hand to be a T, right?"

Pacquiao also laughed and said, "We have cooperated so many times. Mr. Yang, eat the big meat, give me some soup."

Yang Chen replied: "Okay, I'll give you some soup."

Pacquiao said happily: "Hey, okay, okay, thank you Mr. Yang, thank you Mr. Yang."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Pioneer Navigation President Barkley called Yang Chen again.

Barkley smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, are you shorting fruit? We have fruit stocks in our hands, Mr. Yang, take them and use them as you like."

Yang Chen teased, "You and Pacquiao are really good friends. Okay, I'm using Pacquiao's, so I can't leave you behind."

Barkley laughed happily and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang. I wish you success in your short selling." Capitalists have the pursuit of profit as their only goal, so their behavior is not surprising at all.

Just when everyone was waiting to see how Yang Chen would short the fruit company, a Weibo post topped the hot search list.

Longguo communications expert Xiang Qiangang posted on Weibo about what happened last night when he wanted to take Metro Line 10 after get off work.

京城地铁10号线并未覆盖5G网络，向前刚使用的龙为手机全程显示4G网络，但是他看到旁边一个小伙子使用的水果16手机竟然显示5G网络。

In order to determine whether Line 10 is covered by 5G network, Xiang Qiangang contacted the leaders of the three major operators and got the definite answer that Beijing Line 10 is not covered by 5G network and the relevant project is still in progress.

So, the situation is very clear. Apple phones are suspected of falsely labeling 5G networks to mislead consumers.

Xiang Qiangang also said that falsely labeling 5G networks on Apple phones will bring three kinds of harm.

First, consumers cannot accurately understand the network conditions they face, which constitutes false advertising and misleads consumers.

Second, when operators have not yet deployed 5G, they falsely label the 5G network, but the signal and network speed cannot meet the requirements. Users will misunderstand the operators, which will affect the reputation of the operators.

Third, if there is no 5G signal but there is a 5G logo, the majority of users will have a wrong understanding of 5G construction, which will lead them to ridicule and resist the 5G network. There are many comments on the Internet saying that after changing to 5G packages and mobile phones, the Internet speed did not change. This is the best example.

This expert's Weibo post caused a huge uproar and sparked heated discussions among netizens, and even triggered a fierce confrontation between Apple fans and Chinese people.

As we all know, some Apple fans have low cognitive ability, but they support Apple mindlessly. They don't allow others to say that Apple phones are bad, and they can even lick a 60-yuan thimble to do many things with it. They also say that the thimble of Android phones will damage Apple phones, and that you must buy ones specifically for Apple phones.

Therefore, this Weibo post was quickly refuted and criticized by Apple fans.

"Have you investigated it clearly? Why are our phones so fast? How come they are not 5G phones?"

"Is it possible that the fruit was closer to the ground, which was covered by 5G network, and the signal capability of the fruit was particularly strong, so it could receive the 5G network, while Longwei's mobile phone signal was not good, so it could not receive the 5G network? It's really meaningless to smear for the sake of smearing."

"If you have the guts, show everyone the call records between you and the CEOs of the three major operators, and stop talking nonsense. Are so many Apple users in the country and the world stupid? Don't people know whether the phone is good or not?"

……

But correspondingly, those who don't like Apple phones took the opportunity to mock them.

"First there is fruit, then there is heaven. A 4G mobile phone costs yuan."

"What if we can't make 5G phones? It doesn't matter, as long as the signal indicator shows 5G. Apple fans are very adaptive. Even if they are exposed, they can find all kinds of reasons to comfort themselves, and even criticize others everywhere."

"I am dying of laughter. It turns out that a 5G phone doesn't need to be 5G, the signal just needs to show 5G. If this works, then I can make a phone, too."

"Some people are so stubborn. Have you ever used an iPhone? If you have used one, you should know that the signal of an iPhone is the worst, even worse than a domestic thousand-yuan phone. And they can still receive the signal when they are close to the ground. How shameless."

……

The Internet in Long Country is like this. Foreign brands and domestic brands always trigger heated discussions. Both camps criticize each other and no one is willing to give in.

However, this gave Yang Chen an opportunity.

Yang Chen immediately asked someone to contact Xiang Qiangang, and consulted him in detail about the specific process. He also contacted the CEOs of the three major operators to confirm in person that Beijing Line 10 was not covered by 5G network. If the mobile phone was not fake, it would definitely not be able to display 5G network.

After receiving such a definite answer, Yang Chen smiled with satisfaction.

Yang Chen called Wang Wenkang and said, "Mayor Wang, please help contact the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Market Supervision Department, and the three major operators. Fruit 16 is suspected of falsely labeling the 5G network, misleading consumers, damaging the reputation of operators, damaging the image of 5G networks in the minds of consumers, and further damaging the country's 5G network upgrade process. Fruit Group must be held responsible for this and compensate consumers and operators."

Wang Wenkang smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. Let's wait for the news. Haha..."

At this time, it is dinner time for the bald eagle.

Kurk received the news from Dragon Country while he was having dinner.

"Oh no, oh no, something big has happened!" Kurk said anxiously.

Kurk was in no mood to continue eating. He quickly called the head of the technical department and asked him to notify the technical department to return to the company immediately to work overtime to upgrade the systems of all mobile phones in the Longguo market and solve the problem of false network logos.

Everyone must stay up late and work overtime tonight to solve this problem, otherwise the company's stock price will plummet when the stock market opens tomorrow.

After Kurk hung up the phone, he rushed back to the company. Just when he was halfway there, he received news from Longguo.

The relevant departments of Longguo required the Fruit Group's Longguo District branch to immediately recall all mobile phones and compensate consumers. The three major operators also sent a lawyer's letter, requiring the Fruit Group to compensate the three major operators for reputation loss of 1 million yuan each. At the same time, the relevant departments ordered the Fruit Group to explain issues such as 5G network speed to the public and eliminate the public's misunderstanding of 5G networks, otherwise there will be further penalties.

Kurk cursed angrily, “Fuck! This must be Yang Chen’s doing. This problem is not a big problem technically, and there is no need to make such a big fuss. It must be Yang Chen who asked them to do this. It’s too cruel, Yang Chen is really too cruel! Jack, drive faster, we have to get to the company immediately!”

The driver nodded and hurried back to the company.

Just as the fruit company's technical department was working hard to solve the problem, new news came from Europe.

According to the inspection of the EU customs department, a new batch of about 100 million Apple 16 mobile phones produced in India that arrived at the EU had excessive levels of E. coli, and the product quality was worrying. The welding of the mainboard circuit was rough, which was completely different from the quality of the previous Apple mobile phones produced in China. Therefore, the EU decided to refuse this batch of Apple mobile phones from entering the EU market.

When Kurk heard the news, he was completely stunned.

Damn, how could the E. coli level on a cell phone exceed the standard?

Could it be that Indian employees wipe their butts with their fingers, don’t wash their hands after work, and don’t wear gloves, and then go straight into producing mobile phones?

Kurk angrily called the head of the Indian country and cursed directly: "Fuck! Why do the mobile phones produced by you have excessive E. coli? What kind of training did you give the workers? Haven't you taught them to wipe their butts with toilet paper? You son of a bitch, the EU is going to return all the mobile phones. If something like this happens at this time, do you know how much our stock price will drop tomorrow? Fuck!"

The Asan leader said, "Mr. Kurk, please respect our customs and beliefs. The people of our country are so convenient, you can't ask us to change our habits and beliefs."

Kurk was about to collapse and questioned, "Pay attention to personal hygiene, how can you say you have to change your habits and beliefs? I am so convinced! I shouldn't have built a factory in your country in the first place. You are so different from Longguo. Fuck!"

The person in charge of the Indian country said: "If the EU doesn't want it, why don't you just resell it to the Chinese market? Apple fans in China don't care about these things. They are proud of their iPhones. Some even sell their bodies and kidneys to buy iPhones. If you sell iPhones made in China to EU countries, won't that solve the problem?"

Kurk: “…”

Damn, you know what, that’s indeed a solution.
