Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 440 Zhao Ming: About the matter of me having two fathers

At 7 o'clock sharp, the lights in the venue went out again!

The press conference proceeded with the usual countdown: 10, 9...

But every audience member was looking forward to Zhao Ming's appearance, after all, the Honor press conference was known as the "Little Leiyin Temple", and its style was exactly the same as the one next door.

The only difference is that this is truly awesome, while that is...

As the countdown ended and the lights came on, Zhao Ming strode to the center of the stage.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Honor brand launch event. Today, we are bringing you the newly upgraded Honor 8 series."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ming took out two cell phones from his pocket and held them high.

His lips curled up slightly, and his expression was filled with barely suppressed smugness.

"Yaoyao is going to take the lead again."

"This time, Lao Yu didn't get to use many of the technical skills, but Zhao Ming started. It's obvious who's the favorite, right?"

"Actually, a guy who just bought a Mate series phone, feeling completely cheated, came over: 'Kirin 920... I haven't even warmed up to it yet, and it's already been given to Zhao Ming!'"

"It feels like these two companies are accelerating their efforts to dominate the mobile phone market; the pace of market penetration is getting faster and faster!"

"It can only be said that Lao Yu still has to consider the impact, while Zhao Ming is really trying to have his cake and eat it too."

Meanwhile, in Feicheng, Lazy Sheep's assistant was also watching the press conference at home. As he watched Zhao Ming holding up two mobile phones, a little story suddenly popped into his head.

Zhao Ming needed some new technology, so he went to Lao Yu first. But he wanted both a full-screen display and fingerprint unlocking, which Lao Yu refused to give him. So Zhao Ming said directly, "Then I'll go to Transsion."

If this father won't give it to him, there's another father...

More than one viewer shared this view, and numerous short skits featuring Zhao Ming instantly appeared in the live chat.

After the presentation, Zhao Ming put his phone back in his pocket.

"I just heard the director say that everyone is talking about that topic again, so before the press conference officially begins, I'd like to address that statement first."

He pressed the remote control, and a screenshot of Weibo instantly appeared on the big screen.

The screenshot is naturally about the issue that everyone is discussing, and it was posted by a tech blogger: Honor has two good fathers, one is Transsion, which provides hardware and software.

The other one is called Huawei, which provides communication technology, excellent design, and also has very good quality control and distribution channels.

Honor can be said to be the company that was most fortunate to be born into the Chinese mobile phone industry. In contrast, its neighbor... well, you can only say that being born into the same family is tough!

There was still a lot of discussion about rice, but it wasn't addressed at the press conference, though his audience was already laughing hysterically.

"Stop comparing them to the other side; Honor of Kings completely crushed both of them."

"Stop trying to piggyback on Redmi's success. Honor is directly targeting Xiaomi, except its offline channels are a bit stronger..."

Seeing the enthusiastic discussion among the audience, Zhao Ming didn't rush to speak. Instead, he placed the remote control on the podium, then took the microphone and walked into the audience.

"What are your thoughts on this, fan?"

As the director gave her a close-up shot, the fan quickly covered her mouth, completely surprised that Zhao Ming would give her this opportunity!

"Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao is doing quite well!"

"Haha!" Although Zhao Ming was mentally prepared, he did not expect the audience member's answer to be so concise.

He then interviewed several other audience members, and various teasing remarks echoed throughout the venue, causing the cheers to grow louder and louder.

After a while, standing in the aisle in the middle of the audience seats, Zhao Ming smiled again and said:

"Honor does indeed have two powerful backers."

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Zhao Ming began counting on his fingers:

"The first one is Huawei, the actual controller of Honor, who is also my boss."

He provided us with a quality control system, a distribution network, brand endorsement, and extremely excellent communication technology. Here, I'd like to once again name a certain unambitious manufacturer: They've been in China for so many years, and their network problems are still unresolved?

The audience burst into laughter again, and many Apple fans looked at their own iPhones with a growing sense of disdain.

After all, apart from the brand and the logo, this phone really doesn't seem to be as good as any other product from the Transsion group.

"No, no, buddy, where did you get this confidence? Your sub-brand is even going so far as to promote fruit?"

"There's nothing I can do. Honor is a brand that's always been on the path of piggybacking on others' success. It's the one I find most disgusting. I'm leaving!"

"This brand is trash. They have no culture of their own and all they do is piggyback on others' success! After piggybacking on rice, they've piggybacked on fruit. Is Sansang next?"

"Two 'dads' (referring to two different manufacturers), a 'wild dad' machine... who do you even know for after-sales service?"

"The person upstairs can criticize all they want, but don't bring up after-sales service. They've always followed the Huawei model; they have just as many physical stores as Apple."

After the audience finished laughing at the first performance, Zhao Ming continued counting on his fingers:

"The second father is Transsion, who is our major shareholder."

He gave us Taishan chips and top-of-the-line OLED screens, just like other netizens have said, top-notch hardware.

Of course, we did our best too!

Standing in the audience, he clapped his hands, and then a series of numbers appeared on the big screen!

Honor ranks first in growth rate in the Chinese market and first in growth rate in the global market!

Its global market share increased from ninth to fifth globally.

Below is a line of smaller print: The above results are only for the Honor brand.

"I don't know if everyone is satisfied with this result, but one of our subsidiaries has already reached the top 5 globally. Of course, on the specific list, we are with Huawei, ranking second globally."

This is what happens when you have two good fathers. It's not shameful to have a good father, but it's shameful to have a good father and still not be able to make a good product.

Honor's achievement is a testament to the company's talent.

After saying that, Zhao Ming looked triumphantly at the audience again. He had come here today on purpose to make trouble for his competitors, hoping they would experience it for themselves!

This is just the beginning; there's more to come!

"Zhao Ming is really not shying away from this; he's turned the meme into an official thing."

"I think Mr. Zhao is right. After all, having technical support can really make things much easier."

"Hey, I have to mention something here. Our competitors also have a bunch of great backers, one of whom is Qualcomm. But the problem is, the products Qualcomm provides aren't very good!"

"Haha, upstairs, don't make fun of our rice. Is the inventory cleared out yet?"

After the applause from Zhao Ming and others subsided, he returned to the center of the stage to continue the press conference.

But as he gently pressed the button, a rendering of the Honor 8 series appeared on the stage.

The front is almost entirely screen, with the forehead and chin compressed to the extreme. There is only a tiny slit at the top for the earpiece, and the slightly curved edges of the screen seamlessly connect with the metal frame.

The teardrop-shaped perforation at the top is noticeably different from the sound transmission design.

But now, a widow's peak isn't as sinful as it was in later generations; after all, having a full-screen display is already quite good.
