Chapter 783: Chapter 326: Extremely Strange_2 Chapter 783: Chapter 326: Extremely Strange_2 In economic terms, Dream Island was also a formidable force, wealthy enough to rival nations, never lacking in funds. The key point was that Dream Technology was not publicly listed, and its equity was not dispersed, so Dream Island was impenetrable, without any vulnerabilities.

In terms of military strength, the Simsung Group dared not harbor any greater ambitions. Recently, Yan Fei surfaced his artificial shark used for anti-submarine warfare daily, demonstrating its strength as a warning to those countries and forces eyeing Dream Island, signaling that Dream Island was not to be trifled with. Without sufficient strength, it was best not to provoke Dream Island.

Therefore, after much deliberation, the Simsung Group realized that Dream Island was impregnable. Faced with fierce competition from Dream Island, they found themselves without any retaliatory measures.

On the other hand, after a series of board meetings, Apple Inc. of the United States reached the same conclusion: Dream Island was unlike any competitor they had faced before, and all their previous response methods were inappropriate. To regain a competitive edge for their company, they could only negotiate with Dream Island.

So, after the meeting concluded, the CEO of Apple personally sent a letter requesting to visit Yan Fei of Dream Island. However, upon his arrival at Dream Island, he did not meet Yan Fei, but was received by Lu Pingping instead. This angered the CEO of Apple; his status was such that in any nation around the world he would be greeted by the highest leader, yet Yan Fei did not meet him personally, merely sending a subordinate. However, the CEO of Apple quickly calmed down, as he thought of the importance of his task at hand, and thus he had to temporarily bear with the situation.

In the negotiation with Lu Pingping, the CEO of Apple hoped to gain technological support from Dream Technology and to secure a supply of related components. Lu Pingping had only one demand: the US Government must apologize for instigating the United Fleet to attack Dream Island, lift the ban on the sales of Dream Technology Products in the US Market, and provide adequate compensation for economic damages. Only if Dream Island's prerequisite conditions were fully satisfied would there be a possibility of cooperation with Apple. Otherwise, Apple would not receive any support from Dream Island.

The CEO of Apple argued strenuously, emphasizing their market share and presenting data to prove that once Dream Island collaborated with Apple, their products would be able to enter the US Market through Apple, obtaining even greater benefits than those from working with Chinese phone manufacturers. Regardless of his persuasive data, aiming to prove the correctness of his views, Lu Pingping remained unmoved and held firm to her stance. Without an apology and compensation for damages from the US Government, there could be no cooperation between Dream Island and Apple.

Consequently, the first negotiation session ended in failure. After the negotiation, the CEO of Apple did not leave Dream Island immediately but went to the Terminal Illness Hospital, hoping to visit Yan Fei's girlfriend, Wen Rou. He hoped Wen Rou, seeing that he was an American, would act as an intermediary, persuading Yan Fei to collaborate with Apple. Unfortunately, Wen Rou directly turned down the CEO of Apple's request, not even giving him the chance for a private conversation, and sent him away.

With the negotiations bearing no fruit, the CEO of Apple could only leave Dream Island with regret. Upon learning of the breakdown in negotiations between Apple and Dream Island, the market went into extreme panic, and Apple's market value continued to plummet. Within just one week, Apple's market value had dropped by over 80%, wiping out $650 billion of wealth. If it weren't for the domestic US Market holding back the entry of Chinese Smartphones, ensuring the stability of Apple's largest market base, along with desperate support from Apple fans around the world, Apple would likely have declared bankruptcy.

Driven by Apple as a leading technology stock, the entire US Stock Market began to plummet uncontrollably, as the bubble was on the verge of bursting. Once the stock market bubble burst, the US would face an economic crisis. At this critical moment, the US Government began calling emergency meetings to discuss an excellent solution to save Apple and prevent an economic crisis in the US.

Dream Island fully leveraged its technological advantage and its precise and intricate production capacity to single-handedly lay the foundation for the rise of the Chinese mobile phone. With a strategic step-by-step approach, Yan Fei started from small beginnings, rapidly engulfing the global Smartphone Market's foundation. By the time everyone realized the issue and prepared to intercept Chinese Smartphones, they found that Chinese Smartphones had taken the mainstream market due to their advanced performance.

Leading Smartphone manufacturers from the United States and South Korea suffered heavy losses in their attempt to intercept Chinese phones, not only failing to throttle Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers in the cradle but also fully exposing their own technological shortcomings. Apple Inc. of the United States, in particular, due to US sanctions against Dream products, faced countermeasures from China, resulting in a permanent ban on Apple Smartphones in the Chinese Market, causing Apple to lose the Chinese market forever.

Unless something unexpected happened, whether it was American Apple Smartphones or South Korean Simsung Phones, they had no chance of recovery. The global Smartphone Market, valued in the trillions of US Dollars, would be completely monopolized by China, ensuring the irresistible rise of Chinese technology. The technological progress of the United States would be surpassed, relegating it to a second-tier country in the world.
