Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 780

Chapter 780: Chapter 325 National Security_2 Chapter 780: Chapter 325 National Security_2 Just in one day, the global mobile phone market began to churn with a huge, disruptive change. Moreover, a market reversal occurred in the United States and China, with the US market entering a bear phase, and the Chinese market starting to recover.

Facing this massive blow, Apple Inc. immediately convened a board meeting to discuss how to deal with the huge crisis brought about by the release of the new flagship models from China's Four Major Smartphone Manufacturers. Apple Inc. indeed had some black technologies that had not yet been announced. They were originally holding these back as technical reserves, tantalizing consumers and rolling out technology upgrades slowly to maximize profits. Once a rival was about to catch up, they would deploy these black technologies in their latest flagship mobile phones to turn the tide.

However, after the Four Major Chinese phone manufacturers officially launched their flagships, they encountered an awkward problem; their secret black technology had become outdated before they could release it. This caught them by surprise. With their lead in technology lost, Apple Inc. was no longer able to regain the upper hand through normal business competition…

Not only Apple Inc. in the United States, but also Simsung Group in South Korea, was shaken by the Four Major Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers. After studying the technical content of China's new flagship smartphones, Simsung Group was deeply shaken. They urgently called a technical meeting in order to develop a solution in the hope that they could resolve the crisis encountered. It must be known that Simsung's mobile phone sales were the world's first, making them the true industry giants. Although their profits were not as high as Apple's, mobile phone sales were the largest source of revenue for Simsung Group, something they could not afford to lose.

The Chinese phone manufacturers that had previously given up voluntarily, rejecting the opportunity to become strategic collaborators with Dream Island for a small gain, were shocked by this outcome. They initially thought that Dream Island had only introduced the super high-energy battery and was also peddling its Dream Assistant. Therefore, for the sake of interests they would rather not disclose, they had given up cooperating with Dream Island. Little did they realize that Dream Island had set an ambush, not revealing their trump card at the start, causing them to misjudge the situation and miss out on this greatest development opportunity.

After discovering Dream Island's powerful technology, these Chinese phone manufacturers eagerly reached out to Dream Island, trying to regain a chance to collaborate. However, Dream Island made it clear that their production capacity was insufficient to supply more manufacturers at the moment, so they could only express regret at their collaboration request, stating the possibility of future cooperation.

Although they did not outright refused, those Chinese phone manufacturers knew that Dream Island had essentially given up on them, and that they would never have the possibility to gain Dream Island's technical support again. They would always be behind in the technological development of the mobile phone market, and their unethical profit sources would be obliterated under the impact of the Four Major Smartphone Manufacturers. Not only had they lost the watermelon, but they were also about to lose the sesame seeds.

When designing the automated super high-energy battery factory, Yan Fei had made arrangements in advance, adding two more production lines for the production of Super OLED Screens and wireless fast charging components. Because the planning was done early, and the artificial intelligence “Dream” had full management of the automated factory, the production capacity of this secret fully automatic production workshop was incredibly strong, fully capable of meeting the needs of China's Four Major phone manufacturers, and even had surplus capacity.

However, even with spare capacity, Yan Fei would not provide this to those Chinese phone manufacturers who were opportunistic and lacked real innovative capability. He wanted strategic partnership relations, not teammates who would betray their own for a bit of profit. All those Chinese phone manufacturers who had voluntarily given up the opportunity had already been abandoned by Yan Fei; he was not going to give them a chance.

After an entire day of emergency meetings, Simsung Group in South Korea arrived at the same conclusion as Apple Inc., which was that despite having some unpublished black technology, this technology was actually far behind the technological level of Chinese phones. They could no longer turn around the competitive situation in the market, so they began to seek other methods to target the development of Chinese phones.

So, the next day, Simsung Group began to make public statements, collectively challenging the Four Major Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers. They claimed that the OLED high-definition screens used in their flagship phones infringed on their own patents. They sent a letter demanding an immediate halt to the presale of the latest flagship phones and compensation for the losses suffered by Simsung Group.

However, Dream Island had already prepared and promptly produced evidence–these were the latest OLED screen patents obtained by Dream Island. These patents proved that Dream Island's OLED screens used the latest technical standards, perfectly bypassing Simsung Group's technological blockade and not infringing on Simsung Group's patented technology at all.

Despite Dream Island providing convincing patent proof, Simsung Group did not back down and clung to the issue. They started to pursue patent lawsuits in major countries worldwide, applying for the prohibition of sales for Chinese phones that installed Dream Island's OLED screens, preventing Chinese phones from being sold in those countries. Such patent litigations are extremely complex and destined to be long-drawn-out, so Dream Island was looking at an extended period of legal contention with South Korea over this issue.
