Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: An Order for 1 Billion Flexible Smartphones!

The unilateral military invasion action of the Samsung Company ultimately ended in a disastrous defeat, and the profound impact of this incident is something no one can fully predict.

For netizens who have been following online news, their most direct feeling is that the miraculous Jade Island has once again demonstrated its powerful military strength to the world. It also sent the best warning to potential adversaries who have been secretly watching it.

Besides, the most watched nation was South Korea.

This once top-developed country in Asia almost overnight became a global laughingstock. The entire nation faced devastating blows in all aspects, whether it’s technology, economy, military, politics, or daily life.

However, the onlooking netizens did not feel too sympathetic about this, as they saw it all as a self-inflicted consequence of Samsung Company’s wrong decisions.

There was no end to the criticism of Samsung Company online.

Among them, quite a few people who enjoy watching the excitement kept a close eye on the situation of the Jade Island fleet.

Of course, they did not care about how long the fleet’s display of power would last, they just wanted to witness the fleet’s splendor.

However, just when the internet was lively with these discussions.

An official message released by Jade Island inadvertently spread.

The specific content was that the Jade Island fleet had successfully completed its mission and had no intention of continuing to stay in the waters of Jeju Island in South Korea, and had already embarked on their return journey.

Upon hearing this news, there was a huge wave of uproar on the internet.

”Impossible! They were hit to their home base, and Isle Master Jiang just circled around Jeju Island twice and returned?”

”I agree. I thought they would block South Korea’s seas and establish a no-navigation zone.”

”Indeed, Samsung was too arrogant, they should be punished properly, Isle Master Jiang was a bit too merciful.”

A large number of netizens were somewhat surprised by Jade Island’s sudden fleet withdrawal. In their view, there should have been harsh punishments for Samsung and South Korea, not necessarily talks of reparations, but at least a severe lesson.

Of course, aside from these indignant commenters, there was also a small number of seasoned netizens with knowledge of global politics who shared their views.

”You all underestimate Isle Master Jiang! You really think that taking out a South Korean fleet allows for random navigation in foreign waters? This is a time when peace is mainstream, and one must consider the impact on neighboring countries!”

”Exactly! If Jade Island behaved too arrogantly, though they might suppress temporarily with force, it would inevitably cause neighboring countries to feel alarmed, and opposition could arise, leading to losses outweighing the gains!”

”I heard South Korea’s Defense Minister secretly visited the United States, no need to guess that they were seeking help, and Samsung Company actually agreed to be acquired by Apple, there’s a lot of shady business in this!”

”Shameless Koreans, always selling themselves everywhere. Even after thousands of years, they can’t change their fate of being subjugated!”

The discussions about Jade Island’s withdrawal of the fleet became a hot topic online for a while.

While the internet was bustling, Jade Island’s fleet had completely withdrawn from the waters of Jeju Island, quietly returning to their base of operations.

As the Commander, Jiang Cheng began to get busy.

Defeating South Korea’s famed first fleet this time, aside from the sturdy warships under his command, was no doubt thanks to the brave efforts of the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, they deserved commendation and rewards.

Jiang Cheng placed great importance on this.

He specifically held a grand commendation ceremony at the Nanyao Island military base, awarding military merit certificates and a substantial amount of money to the officers and soldiers who made significant contributions in this action, greatly boosting the morale of Jade Island’s navy.

Thus, marking the official conclusion of Jade Island’s second military operation.

...

After the military dispute with South Korea, Jade Island had resolved a major concern, and the island’s focus returned to economic construction.

During this time, the production of flexible phones was not hindered and continued to move forward vigorously.

After the first batch of commercially available phones from Hua Wei was produced, the three mobile phone companies—Mi, OPPO, and VIVO—also successively produced their own flexible phone brands.

The only issue now was the quantity of inventory in stock.

However, during this stockpiling period, the four major phone manufacturers were not idle but were actively moving forward.

In fact, there was no need for them to take any special actions.

After Jade Island’s official continuous release of various robust functions of the flexible phone products and extremely wide-ranging applicable scenarios, the entire world was stirred up.

Mobile dealers from some countries were eager, proactively reaching out to the four major manufacturers to begin discussing long-term supply and sales issues.

Under such a background, it is imaginable that the four major phone manufacturers need not worry about sales issues at all.

Additionally, at Jiang Cheng’s suggestion, they all reduced the prices of their phones, which has made the flexible phones possess an unrivaled appeal.

Their explosive sales can already be anticipated.

In just a few months, the four major phone manufacturers signed a series of commercial orders with distributors from around the world, with an initial estimate that order quantities have already exceeded one billion units!

Such a frightening order volume has far exceeded Jade Island’s current production capacity!

Given this, the extremely excited Yu Chengdong and other phone giants proactively approached Jiang Cheng to discuss the expansion of production line scale.

It’s important to note that all the technical aspects of flexible phone production were provided by Jade Island, and they could hardly intervene. Therefore, when it came to expanding production lines, they had to turn to Jiang Cheng for help.

Upon hearing the order reports from these giants, Jiang Cheng was slightly surprised.

Although he had already anticipated that there would be no lack of a market for flexible phones, he did not expect them to be so explosive, with an initial demand of one billion flexible phones, which was indeed unexpected.

However, Jiang Cheng also felt excited.

Prior to this, Apple and Samsung had just formed an alliance, clearly intending to challenge Jade Island’s flexible phones.

Currently, the arrival of the flexible electronics era seems unstoppable, so the unified Apple will inevitably launch a fierce attack on Jade Island with flexible technology.

Even considering this, Jiang Cheng felt it was necessary to early on expand the production line scale and seize the market in the early period of the flexible era, which undoubtedly has great benefits!

Therefore, Jiang Cheng agreed without much hesitation!
