Chapter 782: Chapter 326: Extremely Bizarre Chapter 782: Chapter 326: Extremely Bizarre Ever since the old President of the United States took office, they have started to shift foreign policy, emphasizing the principle of “America First” and not allowing anyone to take undue advantage of them, not even their closest allies. They do not just prevent anyone from taking advantage of the United States, but other countries must also open their markets to benefit American enterprises. Anyone who defies the United States, even if they were once allies, would not be spared face and would be dealt with ruthlessly.

Under such a principle, not only were the United States' allies unable to gain any benefit from them, but they also constantly feared that the United States would double-cross them. A case in point was the previous United Fleet, whose three member countries gained no benefit from the United States; on the contrary, they were fleeced by the US due to their defeat. Australia and Canada fared slightly better, only having to give up a portion of their interests, but the situation was extremely dire for Japan, an ally of the United States. Its economic lifelines were seized by the US, resulting in substantial wealth flowing towards the United States, leaving Japan incapacitated for at least several decades.

The US's actions not only hurt their allies' feelings but also made clear to them the true face of the United States. In the eyes of all nations, the image of the United States as the beacon of the world had collapsed. Just as the President of the United States himself said, the United States, when bad, could be worse than anyone else in the world. If not forcibly demanded by the United States, they would stay as far away as possible and surely would not volunteer to serve the interests of the United States. Therefore, the only country that truly implemented a ban on Chinese smartphone manufacturers was the United States. Besides the United States, Chinese phones faced no obstacles in other markets.

With the absence of administrative oppression from a national level, the market began to display its amazing capabilities. After the release of the new Apple Smartphone, the pre-sale situation for Apple Smartphones was terrible in markets outside of the United States; their pre-sale volume saw a significant drop of at least over 80% compared to the same period last year. Conversely, in markets other than the US market, the pre-sale situation for the new flagships of the four major Chinese smartphone manufacturers experienced an explosive growth, with an increase of at least over 80%.

Not only did the sales of Apple Smartphones suffer, but other mobile phone manufacturers also faced substantial impacts. Simsung Phones, in particular, saw sales plummet by over 90%. As for other off-brand phones, hardly anyone was willing to buy them. By this time, it was clear to everyone that the smartphone market was shifting, and this vast market was about to be completely monopolized by Chinese companies.

As more information came out, people learned that the reason for the significant technological enhancements in the new flagships of the four major Chinese smartphone manufacturers was due to the technical support from Dream Island. In fact, some of the highest-tech components were directly supplied by Dream Island. Then, people suddenly realized a fact: unbeknownst to all, Dream Technology had undergone an explosive growth and had already taken the lead globally.

The product that made Dream Technology wealthy was Weight Loss Cookies, which obliterated all other weight loss products and nearly eliminated obesity worldwide. Subsequently, Dream Technology powerfully entered the cosmetics industry, striking out all other cosmetic manufacturers and bringing beauty to appreciators worldwide. Then Dream Island established the Hospital for Incurable Diseases, where they conquered AIDS and cancer, giving those with terminal illnesses a glimmer of hope. Finally, Dream Island switched its focus and suddenly broke into the smartphone market, achieving tremendous success and on the verge of overturning the entire market, profoundly changing the global economic landscape.

People then began to study Dream Island, hoping to discover the secret behind its unexpected rise. Unfortunately, although the founder of Dream Island, Yan Fei, could be arrogant at times, he generally maintained a low profile and never disclosed any useful information. So, no matter how much research was done, the secret behind the dramatic rise of Dream Island remained elusive.

When the Simsung Group realized that they were unable to impose a global ban on Chinese phones equipped with Dream Island OLED screens, they immediately changed their strategy and initiated contact with Dream Island, requesting to send negotiators to discuss terms.

With the intention of understanding their competitor's trump card better, Dream Island accepted Simsung Group's negotiation request. Then, Simsung Group's negotiators arrived at Dream Island and began discussions with Yan Fei. They offered to drop the pursuit of alleged OLED infringement and to give up the global ban on smartphones fitted with Dream Island OLED screens, in exchange for Dream Island's technological support to Simsung Group. This included providing a super high-energy battery and Dream Assistant, bringing Simsung Group up to the same technological level as the four major Chinese smartphone manufacturers.

After gauging the opponent's trump card, Yan Fei firmly rejected Simsung Group's negotiation request. The Simsung Group showed no sincerity, attempting to exchange nonexistent patent infringement claims for technical support from Dream Island. Yan Fei's anger was ignited by Simsung Group's unscrupulous approach, stating that Dream Island's production capacity was limited and couldn't meet the cooperation demands of Simsung Group for the time being, and he promptly sent the negotiators from Simsung Group packing.

Only then did the Simsung Group realize that Dream Island had no plans to relax its technological constraints; they intended to seize Simsung Phone's market share by supporting Chinese smartphone manufacturers. In the past, Simsung Phone had many schemes to counter competitors, but after researching the technological level of Dream Technology, they sadly found they had no way to stop the comprehensive rise of Dream System smartphones. And even if they contemplated sabotage through political maneuvers, it wouldn't be feasible, as from a national perspective, the Hospital for Incurable Diseases on Dream Island had already secured the treatment rights for patients with terminal diseases, making it impossible for these countries to strike against products from Dream Island.
