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

After more than half a month of repeated testing, the Chang'e satellite system was officially announced to have entered the commercial stage.

If you are using the HarmonyOS system, you can download Chang'e Navigation for free. If you are using other operating systems, you will need to pay to use it, or the application developer will pay for it while the end user can use it for free.

For example, navigation apps like Gaode immediately paid for the Chang'e satellite system, but users of Android, iOS, and other operating systems can still use Gaode Maps for free.

Internationally.

Jianpu Village, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Laowo were among the first to purchase the Chang'e system to replace GPS in their domestic applications.

The EU announced its support for the Chang'e satellite system to enter the EU market, but the EU region still mainly uses its own Galileo navigation system.

Navigation systems aren't particularly important to most ordinary people; what everyone is really looking forward to are those two phone models.

At 8:5 AM on May 31, Sihai Electronics issued an announcement.

"Our company's two satellite phones will officially launch globally at midnight tonight. Those interested can prepare to grab one! Our initial stock is limited: 50 million units for the YC02 model and 300 million units for the SH02 model worldwide. The phones come pre-installed with the Sihai Mobile Mall and the Chang'e Satellite Calling app. After activation, users can enjoy 24-hour free calling and internet access. Users will need to purchase a data plan within 24 hours to continue using the service. We hope for your support and wish you a pleasant user experience."

Sihai Electronics' announcement was translated into multiple languages ​​and posted on foreign websites, prompting netizens from various countries to express their opinions.

A South Korean netizen commented: "Yang Chen must be very confident in himself. He has prepared 5000 million units of the phones starting at 1299 Eagle Dollars and 3 million units of the phones starting at 299 Eagle Dollars. Is he sure he can sell all of them?"

A netizen from Japan commented: "Fruit's global sales last year were only 2.2 million units, and he dares to prepare 3.5 million units in his first batch of inventory. He's really too confident in himself, bordering on arrogance. There's no way that many people will buy them; he'll be lucky to sell half."

A netizen from the Bald Eagle commented: "This small stock is definitely not enough. In our country alone, hundreds of millions of people want to buy it, and their own country has over a billion people. This number of phones will definitely sell out in a few days. You have to understand, this is the world's first truly civilian satellite phone; not only do we want to buy it, but their own people also want to buy it."

A user from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Haha... We've already ordered the business version satellite phone, and it's supposedly already on the plane ready to be delivered. I'll share my experience with everyone after I get my hands on it."

Sales figures are the most convincing evidence. Whether Yang Chen is too confident in himself or global consumer demand is greater, we will soon find out.

The first batch of 5000 million high-end business phones will be mainly supplied to the Dragon Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom. Of the 3 million low-end phones, more than 2 million are prepared for the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and the rest will be given to countries such as Jianpu Village.

Why not allow the people of China to use such cheap mobile phones?
Because some of the cell phones sent to the Bald Eagles were intended for Chinese people.

Bald Eagle Black Guys Zero Yuan Purchase – Chinese Students Purchasing on Behalf of Others – Chinese Consumers: This is already a mature supply chain.

If sold directly to Chinese users, the starting price of 1999 yuan is quite expensive. However, after the black market's zero-yuan purchase program, the price can be brought down, and Chinese users can probably buy this low-end phone for between 1299 and 1499 yuan.

Although it's called low-end, those who know Yang Chen know that even his lowest-end products have configurations that other brands' high-end flagship phones can barely match, which is more than enough for ordinary people in China.

At this time, the international students in Bald Eagle and the purchasing agents were already busy. They contacted their long-term partners in the black market, negotiated the purchase price for each configuration, and then placed orders with these partners. Once Yang Chen's grey market phone entered the Bald Eagle market, they would immediately start purchasing it for free.

What if the quantity of grey market goods is insufficient for their zero-yuan purchase program?
It's simple.

They're familiar with the tactics; they can just go out into the streets and shout a few slogans. In order to win these people's votes in the November election, the Democratic Party will definitely turn a blind eye and allow domestic retailers to purchase Sihai mobile phones to sell back home.

So this is their "systemic advantage"? The loopholes are huge.

At midnight, the YC02 and SH02 models of mobile phones were launched globally simultaneously.

Because the US is restricted from supplying directly, the phones are sent to neighboring Mexico and Canada, and then enter the US market through smuggling channels in those two countries.

The black guys had long been eyeing those electronics stores that sold grey market goods, and as soon as the goods were put on the shelves, they would rush in and buy them for free.

However, the volume of goods transported through parallel channels is very limited and cannot meet the huge demand in the Bald Eagle market.

Those black guys who have thousands or even tens of thousands of mobile phone "orders" but can't get them for free are naturally unwilling to let the money they have in hand slip away.

Just as Yang Chen had predicted, only three days later, they started causing trouble in the streets.

Their reason for making a fuss is very righteous. They are all poor people who cannot afford expensive mobile phones and plans. They want to use mobile phones that cost 299 Eagle Dollars and plans that cost 5 Eagle Dollars a month.

If their wishes are not met, they will vote for the Republican candidate.

Seeing that this situation was very favorable to them, the Republicans sent their candidates around giving speeches urging the government to lift restrictions on global mobile phones so that ordinary people in the United States could have access to cheap and reliable mobile phones and satellite communication packages.

If the authorities do lift the restrictions on Apple phones, Apple's sales in the US domestic market will be severely affected. Apple CEO Tim Cook will certainly be furious and will no longer support the Democratic Party.

With both parties in power in the United States, big capital must choose a side. If Kurk does not support the Democratic Party, he will inevitably have to support the Republican Party.

same.

Telecommunications operators like AT&T will also be greatly affected, and they certainly won't support the Democratic Party anymore.

This approach increases the likelihood of a Republican candidate winning a second term.

For the Democratic Party authorities, this is a dilemma: either lose capital support or lose the support of ordinary people. They must make a choice that is the lesser of two evils.

Obviously.

Losing the support of big capital won't cause chaos, but losing the support of the people will not only result in losing votes, but will also lead to social disorder.

Between two evils, choose the lesser; that would naturally be to satisfy the demands of ordinary people.

But you can't completely let go, otherwise you'd be contradicting yourself.

Therefore, the relevant departments of the United States sent notices to a few companies such as Walmart and Amazon, allowing them to import a small number of Sihai mobile phones to meet the needs of these zero-dollar purchase groups.

The main goal is to keep them calm and wait until after the November election.

It can only be said that the U.S. government is still "young" and doesn't consider the issues comprehensively at all. Walmart and other companies imported 1 to 5 different quantities of Sihai mobile phones as required; some were bought by regular users, and the rest were snapped up by those who opted for free purchases.

But now a new problem has arisen. Everyone is in the zero-yuan purchase group. Some people managed to snag a phone and made money, going to bars and doing drugs, having a blast. The rest of us didn't manage to snag one and can only watch enviously as our peers or even friends made money and enjoyed themselves. How can we feel about that?
There's a saying that goes, "My own failure is terrible, but my friends' success worries me even more."

One of the most painful things in the world is when someone you hang out with suddenly becomes better off than you; it's worse than being stabbed in the back.

So, those who failed to get the zero-yuan purchase discussed it and decided to go to Walmart and other companies' stores to smash other electronic products, clearly telling them that they needed to import more Sihai mobile phones, otherwise they would not be able to operate.

Meanwhile, the resellers, smugglers, and other mobile phone retailers who did not obtain import quotas for Sihai mobile phones also joined forces to cause trouble. They organized street protests, demanding that the authorities completely lift the ban on Sihai mobile phones, or else they would bear the consequences.

California is the state that's making the biggest fuss, because it has a developed economy and a large immigrant population. A large immigrant population means a large number of people at the bottom of society, which in turn means a high demand for the 299 Eagle Dollar phone and the 5 Eagle Dollar monthly plan.

Moreover, California and Texas have a long history of conflict with the federal government, with the issue of antibodies against the brain-eating amoeba virus being the best example.

The people of California even chanted slogans demanding independence, which terrified the bald-headed authorities.

You can make a fuss however you want, but the word "independence" is absolutely forbidden. Once that word is mentioned, the nature of the issue changes.

As a result, the top brass of the Bald Eagle publicly condemned California Governor Nelson for being incompetent, and even threatened to arrest him.

At the same time, without the permission of the California state government, they forcibly sent 2000 federal police officers into California to maintain order, and also threatened to send 500 Marines into California to maintain order.

This infuriated the people of California. The people of Roshanki were outraged. There was still room for negotiation when federal police entered California, but what was the meaning of the Marines coming in?
Under what circumstances is it necessary to deploy regular troops?

Of course, it's about suppressing rebellions and waging wars against foreign powers.

So, what does the federal government mean by this?
Do they regard the people of California and Roshanki as traitors or foreign enemies?
California Governor Nelson immediately held a press conference, angrily stating to reporters: "Let them arrest me if they want. I will stand with the people of California and protect the interests of my community. According to federal law, the federal government cannot send troops to interfere in state administration without the state government's consent. The federal government has already broken the law, do they know that? The brain-eating amoeba antibody incident has already disappointed the nation; do they want to disappoint the nation again? It's just a cell phone, why so many threats? Apple phones are sold in other countries, and they use these stupid excuses to restrict sales? And they still claim that the US is a free and democratic country. I spit on them! Aren't they ashamed? The Chinese are right: the more they lack something, the more they flaunt it. All those countries that constantly talk about freedom and democracy, you can take a good look at what they do. They are all less free and less democratic than the last. It's all about political correctness, where is the freedom and democracy? I'm prepared to make sacrifices; let them deal with me! Furthermore, California will absolutely unilaterally cooperate with Sihai Mobile, and we will purchase enough Sihai phones as soon as possible to meet the normal needs of the people of California."

No one expected things to escalate so much, and netizens from all over the world flocked to see what was going on.

Japanese netizens: Are you kidding me? Making such a fuss over a phone? Yang Chen is probably hiding under the covers laughing right now.

A South Korean netizen commented: "I'm speechless. Will you die if you don't use Yang Chen's phone? Our Samsung phones are the best and best-selling phones in the world. Aren't they enough for you? At the very least, you can choose your own Apple phone. Why do you have to use Yang Chen's phone?"

A user on the White Eagle forum commented: "The key issue isn't the phone itself, but the plan fee. A 5-Eagle-coin-per-month plan is enough for us. My monthly phone bill is over 100 Eagle-coins, which adds up to the cost of an extra iPhone every year. Do you understand why we want Yang Chen's phone now? And the 'zero-dollar purchase' group needs to make money by scrambling for these phones, which is why there's such a huge uproar. While I don't approve of this method, I agree with the California governor's statement."

A German netizen commented: "I'm completely baffled. Yang Chen's phone could actually trigger a civil war in the Baltic? That's unbelievable. From an ordinary person's perspective, I think the California governor is right: the more you lack something, the more you flaunt it. In comparison, China is much more tolerant. No matter how big a company is, they receive preferential treatment when investing in China; they don't impose restrictions. Even when some brands do things that hurt their national feelings, they aren't driven away. If this happened in the Baltic or in Europe, they would definitely be kicked out, and the owner might even be arrested. China doesn't promote those slogans, but their actions undoubtedly demonstrate that they are a free, open, inclusive, and democratic country. By the way, the Chinese people are also very kind and warm towards people from all countries, unlike the ugly faces of Westerners who discriminate against Asians at the drop of a hat."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Why don't they learn from us and just make official purchases? Society is meant to progress, and no one can stop the wheels of history. Yang Chen has already created the world's first affordable satellite phone and is offering incredibly cheap service packages. Can the Bald Eagle stop him? It's like Yang Chen invented the light bulb, and the Bald Eagle, in order to limit his development and protect the interests of its own kerosene merchants, insists on restricting Yang Chen's light bulbs from entering the Bald Eagle market, forcing the Bald Eagle people to continue using kerosene lamps. Is that reasonable? No wonder they're making a fuss."

With the matter escalating to such a great extent, reporters naturally wanted to interview Yang Chen to hear his perspective.

Many media outlets applied to interview Yang Chen, but he couldn't accept every one of them, so he chose AFP, which is popular among Chinese netizens, for the interview.

AFP reporter: Congratulations, Mr. Yang, on the commercial launch of your satellite and mobile phone, and the fact that the phone has been snapped up globally. There's a lot of commotion about the phone in the US right now. What's your take on that?

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "There are many reasons why our Dragon Country's economy has developed so rapidly, one of which must be our openness and inclusiveness. Without the investment from foreign companies, our people wouldn't have so many jobs, our industries wouldn't have learned the technology and experience, and we wouldn't have had the opportunity to develop independently. I suggest the US take a look. They are used to suppressing and restricting advanced companies from other countries, such as Alstom in France, and Longwei in our Dragon Country. There are many such examples. However, this approach won't work here. Their stubbornness will only cause them more and more harm."

AFP reporter: So what is Mr. Yang's attitude towards the foreign market? I want to hear your honest thoughts, not just empty platitudes.

Yang Chen laughed and then said, "I hope the world's markets will be open to me, and I'm willing to compete fairly and freely with companies from every country. If I'm not as skilled, I'll give them a thumbs up and introduce them to the Chinese market. If I win, I hope the local government will treat me fairly. If anyone harms my interests, I will fight them to the bitter end. My ultimate ideal is a world of great harmony, where all people can live in peace and enjoy a good life together. In the future, humanity will definitely be able to solve the energy problem. Once the energy problem is solved, a world of great harmony will no longer be a dream. These are my true feelings, not just empty words to appease you."

AFP reporter: If you possessed the technology to solve humanity's energy problems, would you share it with other countries, and would you enable the most impoverished people to enjoy life with you?
Yang Chen nodded and replied, "Yes! Why not? The root cause of the constant conflicts on Earth today is the limited resources. If one day we achieve controlled nuclear fusion, the helium-3 brought back from the moon will be enough for humanity to use for ten thousand years. At that time, electricity will be available indefinitely, agricultural and industrial production will be carried out by robots, and everyone will allocate resources in the most scientific way. Why not?"

The reporter then asked: But who would be willing to share the benefits they could obtain with others, especially the people at the bottom of society?
Yang Chen smiled and said, "This is the value system of your capitalist society. You see the lower classes and retired elderly as useless, a waste of social resources. That's why you don't care about their lives. But our Dragon Country is different. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how many detours we take, we will not abandon anyone, even if they are an elderly person on their deathbed or a paralyzed patient. According to your values, can you not understand why even if there are only a few people in the deep mountains, the power company will still supply electricity to them?"

The reporter smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I really can't understand it. Can't we just ask them to move out? The cost of moving them out would be much less than the cost of installing electricity for them. From a resource utilization perspective, isn't that right?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "So this is the capitalist mindset, where everything is judged by whether it's worthwhile or not. But we don't think like that. Even if there's only one family in the mountains, the power company will still deliver electricity to them. As long as you're within China's borders, no matter where you are, the postal service will guarantee that anything your friends send you will be delivered to you. So, if we dominate this world, everything I just said will become a reality."

The reporter was shocked by Yang Chen's words; in fact, they shattered his worldview.

So that's what Yang Chen was thinking. So that's what the people of China were thinking.

AFP compiled the video of the interview with Yang Chen and released it immediately.

People all over the world were captivated by the utopian society that Yang Chen described.

A netizen from Japan commented: "I can attest that Yang Chen is right; this is their Confucian ideology. They also say, 'When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when rich, benefit all under heaven.' Some people are clearly poor, yet they still dream of owning thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor and make them happy. Don't doubt his words; this is how their traditional thought educates their people. Capitalists, when they have money, would rather pour out milk than give it to the poor, but true Chinese people will ensure that the poor also have access to milk. This is the difference in values ​​that Yang Chen is referring to."

A South Korean netizen commented: "Do all Chinese people think like this? If that's the case, then we should support Yang Chen. If the era he describes can truly be realized, our descendants will live easier and happier lives. It doesn't matter who earns the money, right? Why not let Yang Chen earn it and support him in achieving a world of great harmony?"

A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "God, so this is what lofty ideals are like in China. No wonder we always felt they weren't on our side. The problem isn't with them, it's with us. Our culture only teaches us selfishness; it doesn't teach us anything about helping others when we're successful, let alone about building thousands of houses to shelter all the poor and make them happy. I absolutely have to buy Yang Chen's phone; even Jesus couldn't stop me. Fuck! I'm going to the streets tomorrow too; I have to get Yang Chen's phone unblocked."

A netizen from the "Squid Kingdom" commented: "Don't listen to his nonsense. This world is a dog-eat-dog world. You should always prioritize your own interests. How could the situation he described happen? He can't even feed himself, stay warm, or have a place to live, yet he's thinking about taking care of others? Why should he? Why should I use my hard-earned money to help others? Yang Chen is trying to export his values; everyone should be wary."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Squid is asking for a beating again. Don't force your values ​​on others, and don't try to use your narrow-minded and despicable thinking to criticize Yang Chen and the great ideals of the Dragon Kingdom. I urge people all over the world to support Yang Chen; he is humanity's hope. I also believe that only he can solve the energy and food problems, and only he can solve them; otherwise, we ordinary people will not have a good life."

The AFP interview was a great success, helping Yang Chen gain widespread acclaim worldwide.

Some of the foreigners who previously opposed him have now changed their minds and begun to accept his products.

California has also been greatly affected, and people there have taken to the streets with the banner of "universal harmony".

Judging from this situation, if the US doesn't lift the ban on Sihai Mobile, even more serious problems might erupt. (End of Chapter)
