Chapter 318: Diary of a Dunce’s Counterattack 315 (13) Updated in the Third Watch of the Night
Gao Heng thought merrily to himself.
"When the time comes, with intellectual property infringement and consumer pressures all suppressed, the Ye Family will have a tough time playing their game."
"A price surge to the daily limit three days later? There’ll be a ghost if that happens!"
Moreover, he had already made a deal with Dai Si to license the 3D imaging technology to Juzi smartphones.
Juzi was about to launch a new model of smartphone, but they pushed back the release to this month because of the 3D imaging technology, which would coincide perfectly with the launch of the E-brand phone, creating a stark contrast for consumers at that time.
The Ye Family wanting to turn the tables seemed highly unlikely.
The response from Dai Si came very quickly, "Juzi smartphones are launching in M Country today and the sales have been very good. Tomorrow at 8 AM, they will officially release it in Hua Country. But I can’t get in touch with Y, so our next collaboration might need to be postponed."
"I see," Gao Heng thought about the impending excitement of the Juzi smartphone launch, "Alright, I’ll go check it out tomorrow."
He didn’t even bother to look at the dismal state of the E-brand smartphones and instead contacted the representative of Juzi smartphones in Hua Country overnight.
Meanwhile, a certain sales platform had already released the product for pre-sale.
The pre-sale volume was not large on the first night, just over two thousand units.
By the second day, most who purchased the ten thousand units from yesterday had received their phones.
Some who were previously observing took notice and finally realized that it wasn’t just Ye Family’s hype!
The holographic projection was indeed a reality in the here and now, right on this small smartphone.
This was truly a sensational event!
Everyone rushed to the Official Website, urged by enthusiastic recommendations of netizens and bragging of good friends, only to find that the in-stock supply had run out; what remained was only for pre-sale.
And there were only a hundred thousand units available for pre-sale.
Although pre-sale meant waiting until next month, anxiously so, considering the Official Website mentioned that only a hundred thousand units would be available the next month and the pre-sale would not have in-stock units anymore, pushing the wait to the month after next.
Convinced by friends’ advice and bloggers, people stopped hesitating and immediately placed their orders.
The initially less prominent pre-sale gradually picked up steam.
"We’re number one on the pre-sale chart!" The sales platform staff watched excitedly, looking over at their General Manager.
It was truly a new era for smartphones; they had never seen any phone with such massive sales from the get-go.
As insiders, they were even more aware of the details.
The Ye and Ning families had no intention of hiring celebrity endorsers; after they sent E-brand phones for consignment sale to them, they hadn’t gotten involved.
This good start could be entirely attributed to the smartphone itself being worth the purchase, which led to word of mouth spreading like wildfire.
Thinking of this, the General Manager immediately told his Assistant, "Go and reach out to people from the Ye Family to discuss overseas distribution rights."
Being in sales, they had a much broader channel overseas compared to the Ning and Ye families.
Even though the E-brand phone had just launched and hadn’t made a name for itself across Hua Country, he believed that following this trend, it wouldn’t be long before the E-brand phone would see explosive sales!
Therefore, it was crucial to negotiate foreign sales rights with the Ye Family during this initial phase.
A group of people hurriedly set out to make contact with the Ye and Ning families.
And they missed Gao Heng who had come looking for them.
"They’ve left already?" Frowning, Gao Heng hadn’t expected the sales platform’s General Manager to be out, "Never mind, we’ll talk this afternoon."
He didn’t pay much attention to this matter, sure as he was that the Juzi smartphone with the 3D imaging would astonish the whole of Hua Country.
Ye Jia was very concerned about the cooperation between the Ning and Ye families.
She had been studying oil painting at Teacher Lin’s house yesterday and hadn’t made it back in time to see the E-brand phone.
Upon hearing about Juzi smartphone’s launch, she came straight from Master Lin’s home.
"Dad, they were already comparing Ye Family’s E-phone with Juzi’s 3D phone online," Ye Jia thought of Ning Yunsu, who didn’t seem like the type to act foolishly, "Could they actually have an ace up their sleeve?"
Uncle Ye was unconcerned, "What can their lousy phone do? Over four thousand, let’s not talk about anything else, just based on the price alone, do you think it can compare with Juzi smartphones? Rest easy, I’ve already had the Assistant file a complaint. Can they even come close to a 3D phone?"
"Right," Ye Jia nodded, "They can’t compare with us at all."
As they spoke, loyal fans of Juzi were already lining up to purchase.
The sales volume was good in the morning too.
"Just wait, the sales will definitely pick up in the afternoon," Uncle Ye and Gao Heng were both very confident.
The Juzi smartphone was priced at 9999, a thousand more expensive than the previous ones, marking it as a high-end phone.
There weren’t a few who could afford the Juzi smartphone, especially the loyal fans of Juzi.
Seeing such a high price didn’t faze them, instead, it sparked anticipation; if the E-phone could offer holographic projection for over four thousand, wouldn’t the Juzi smartphone be even more impressive?
With this thought, those who had bought both phones couldn’t wait to compare them.
In the end, they found the Juzi smartphone simply added a 3D image!
If it had been before the E-phone, they would have been amazed by this 3D image since the technology was still under development before then.
But with the E-phone in play...
The two weren’t even comparable.
A Blogger directly posted a video of both phones along with a lengthy text—"I used to be a loyal fan of Juzi smartphones, but this time, I do not recommend buying the Juzi phone, as you can see in the video. Whether it’s startup speed or cloud upload speed, Juzi can’t beat the E-phone, not to mention the E-phone’s holographic projection. With the two phones’ price almost the same, those considering buying Juzi, I hope you think twice."
Most people shared the same sentiment as this Blogger.
In the afternoon, people like Ye Jia and Gao Heng hadn’t left.
They wanted to see if the lane would be filled with people buying phones.
But by one o’clock, only one person had shown up.
"Wait, they must still be on their way," Gao Heng said immediately, "There’ll be more people soon."
However, they waited from one o’clock until three, and though more people arrived, it was only a little over a hundred—not even a tenth of the morning’s sales.
What was going on?
Gao Heng’s face turned green.
"Mr. Gao, you have to take a look at social media!" one of the managers in charge of the event said in an alarmed voice.

Meanwhile, the Qin Family Manager, as usual, wanted to check the recent stock market trends and the Qin Family’s trading status.
He hadn’t even reached the Qin’s details when the number one ranking caught his eye, he paused for a moment.
He wiped his glasses then closed and reopened the browser.
Thinking he had seen it wrong.
But this time he looked carefully and sure enough, the Ye Family’s stocks had hit the daily limit, at the top of the gainers’ list!
10.9%, just like Ye Shaohua arrogantly declared on the Internet that day, their stocks really shot up to the limit three days later!
This realization prompted the Qin Family Manager to hesitate no longer; he immediately dialed the internal phone line to contact the General Manager. He was so hurried that several documents near him were knocked down.
"We shouldn’t have rejected Ye Family outright that day!" he lamented, banging his head on the desk.
He actually had declined cooperation with the Ye Family!
