Cheap, affordable, conscient product...
Aside from the word “tasty”, these were also the words that popped up in the people’s mind.
The question followed: Why was the Xing Haiputer so cheap?
It dragged down the price ofputers with simr specifications by a whole 2000 dors!
The reason was that the Qinglong First Gen CPU cost only 1000 dors individually and the simpler version of the Xuanwu First Gen was only 350 dors. Adding on with the cost saved from purchasing a graphics card, at least 2000 dors of the device’s instation costs were saved.
This was the dawn of the era of cheapputers.
...
Backcourt experience zone.
60 Xing Haiputers were ced on a few long tables. Among theputers, half of them were desktops and the other half wereptops.
Numerous evaluation agencies, video content creators, veteran bloggers, and technology media reporters have experienced the Xing Hai First Generationputers in the experience zone.
Wang Danian who was swift and agile in his movements got himself a spot to try the Xing Hai First Generation desktop. He sat on the chair and begun operating theputer.
First, he tested powering on and off theputer. Sure enough, the desktop booted in three seconds, while theptop on the other hand needs five.
The system was very smooth. Its system response was even better than the Fruitputer he used before. The interface was simple, beautiful, and pleasing to the eye.
Under Window mode, nothing felt ustomed to him.
“3499 for the CPU, around 4000 dors after adding graphics. Nope, not expensive! I must get one as my workputer when presales start at the 20th of March!” Wang Danian said with exmation. Xing Hai Technologies certainly lived up to his expectations and truly released aputer that everyone would have the urge to buy. People buy it not because of feelings or emotions, but for its powerful performance,plete features and a price that no one could say no!
Prideful!
cing his hands on the mouse and keyboard and sitting in front of this purely local-madeputer, Wang Danian felt pride surging through him.
“Garbage!”
“A piece of disgusting rubbish!”
All of a sudden, he heard these words in his ears.
Wang Danian’s smile stiffened as he turned around to have a look. The person who was hurling insults was a blonde-haired foreigner who was sitting beside him. He was berating theputer with his broken Znguage mixed with English.
“Yes indeed, this is pure garbage.”
“Never have I seen such an ugly operating system in my life.”
Behind the blonde man, there was another two foreigners who held cameras in their hands. They echoed with the blonde man and made ear-piercing sneers.
Wang Danian had a goodmand over English and caught on what they said. His face sterned down at an instant.
He immediately got to the side of the blonde, and said to him in English, “Hey, what’s your name, why did you show up in this ce?”
The blonde man was startled by his words. He slightly tuned down hisughter and said, “My name is Tom Jackson, call me Tom. We are evaluators from the M nation. Behind me are my partners. We got permission to join this product conference and we have the rights to give our opinions on this product.”
“So... what do you think about thisputer?”
Wang Danian questioned them with a stern face.
The blonde man and his partners looked at each other for a year. Then, they lifted their heads and burst intoughter.
“Hahaha~”
“Hahahaha!”
Theirughter was extremely exaggerated with their bodies leaning backward.
Upon seeing Wang Danian’s irritated expression, Tom Jackson spread his hands and said, “My friend from Z, I’m sorry that we only speak the truth. Garbage. In our eyes, thisputer is pure garbage and merely a big joke to us.” After finishing, he along with his two partners startedughing frantically once again.
“Why did you say so?”
Wang Nanian held his fist and asked solemnly.
“You angry, boy?”
Tom Jackson whistled tauntingly. Then, with a scorning expression, he said, “Then I’ll tell you why!”
He set his sight back to theputer in front of him and exined, “First of all, its CPU performance is so, so bad, only equivalent to the i7-8700K five years ago. Meaning to say, the CPU’s inside theseputers are at least five years behind us... do you really feel proud of such an outdated CPU?”
“This...” Wang Danian was unable to refute.
“Besides, it has too few features inside. It can only do some word processing and run some boring, outdated minigames. Frankly speaking, nobody would have the urge to buy this product. Only you Z’s with your brains burnt will have interest in such garbage.”
“Software issues could be solved swiftly. Do not forget the Star Cloud system, your Android empire is almost going to be toppled by this system!” Wang Danian refuted.
Tom Jackson gulped andughed in disdain, “You guys won because you people are good in copy and paste, just like this Xuanyuan operating system. Its Window mode is aplete rip off from the Windows system, you should be paying us patent fees!”
“Window mode wasn’t invented by Microsoft. They too borrowed it from Macintoshputers. Everybody can use this design; it isn’t some kind of patent.” Wang Danian corrected them.
Tom Jackson’s face was altering between white and red. He waved his hands in outrage, “Anyways, you people are just despicable thieves, all you know to do is copying!”
He was toozy to argue with Wang Danian. He left the backcourt experience zone along with his two partners promptly.
Exiting the stadium.
At the parking area.
The few figures having a talk over there caught Tom Jackson’s eyes!
Jin Chen.
The host of tonight’s conference, Xing Hai Technologies’s founder, Jin Chen, was right over there.
“Quickly, take out your phones and record, I’m going to ask that Mr. Chen a few questions!” Tom Jackson told two of his partners beside him. His daringness prompted his desire to interview the richest man in Z.
“Ok!”
His two partners nodded. They fixed their phones on the camera rods and turned on shooting mode.
“Mr. Jin Chen! Mr. Jin Chen!”
Tom Jackson ran towards Chen Jin’s avatar until they were halted by two guards 50 meters away.
Upon hearing the shouting of the razz over there, Chen Jin who was currently negotiating with two important hardware suppliers about cooperative measures, frowned.
“Mr. Jin Chen! I’m a reporter from the M nation. I would like to ask you just one question, please allow me to ask you a question!” Tom Jackson was shouting amok.
Chen Jin was annoyed to his limits. He waved his hands, asking the guards to let them through. He said to them, “What you want to ask?”
“What I want to ask is, Mr. Jin Chen, why are youunching such a meaningless product tonight, didn’t you know that these are trailing far behind ourputers?” Tom Jackson said with an enigmatical tone.
Two of his partners lifted their phones at the same time and positioned them in front of Chen Jin. They too would like to listen to his answer.
Why release an outdated product?
Chen Jin kept quiet for a while, ruminating this question in his mind.
He thought about it and done some calctions on the inside. Then, he told the three foreigners, “Today’s product conference is indeed a little rushed. I’ll make it this way, please wait for us patiently for 115 days. We will release a product that is far more advanced than what you have.”
“Zhong Xin International should be able to solve their problems ande out with the 10nm process technology for the CPU within four months right?”
After answering this question, he turned over and left.
He could roughly hear the sky-piercingughter’s of those three.
...
On the second day.
A short video blown up on the inte.
Fires quickly spread through the Z nation, even across the globe.
