I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 498: 302-303: Against the will of heaven, truly against the will of heaven! (4000 words)
You can say that this is the arrogance and prejudice of the old money in Europe, or you can say that this group of people is still living in their old dreams.

In fact, not only the United States, but even Europe is rapidly losing the core capability of an empire, which is the hard-core material production capability.

During World War II, the United States produced nine types of fighter, bomber and transport aircraft, with a production volume of over 10,000.

In comparison, before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese Air Force had 600 aircraft and 223 fighter planes, but it had no ability to produce its own aircraft. By 1941, all of them were shot down to only 65.

Before the war, the island nation's air force had 2300 aircraft and had the ability to produce them on its own. After the war broke out, it produced 1.04 Zero fighters alone.

Not to mention Europe, the United States alone is overwhelming China.

What now?
The F22 is an old product from decades ago, and new generation fighter jets are always difficult to produce.

Procrastinate, procrastinate, endlessly!
If we lose our production line capabilities, we will lose the foundation of our empire, because neither daily life nor battlefield supplies will grow on supermarket shelves, nor will ChatGPT create them for you by just typing on the keyboard.

What we can see now is that prices in Europe and the United States are soaring and the living standards of ordinary people are falling relatively rapidly.

In fact, the unemployment rate in Europe has skyrocketed, and many people are living off the savings of their grandparents.

Apart from electronic technology, chips, cars, and airplanes, how much capital do Europe and the United States have left to rely on?
At this moment, Gao Huaijun seemed to ignore the scrutiny and questioning attitude in the eyes of the old money in front of him. He bowed lightly and said, "Dear guests, dear friends, good afternoon!"

Since there were many foreign journalists and self-media people in the audience, Hillhouse specially invited simultaneous interpreters to do English simultaneous interpretation.

When the audience below heard Gao Huaijun's voice, they couldn't help but applaud.

No matter how they question it, Gao Huaijun founded such a successful business in his thirties, which is not something an ordinary person can do.

Therefore, the group of people below still feel sincere admiration for Gao Huaijun's achievements.

Gao Huaijun clicked on the PPT. The first page showed a photo of the coming of winter and the beginning of a new chapter. Amidst the vast expanse of snow, the true green of the earth was revealed.

"Welcome everyone to the Mobile World Congress."

"Hillhouse has participated in the Mobile World Congress many times and is considered an old acquaintance of the conference."

"And this time, it's slightly different from the ones I participated in before!"

"This time, we will be showing a product that is very different from what we have shown before. As for what it is, I will keep it a secret this time."

Gao Huaijun said with a slight smile.

There was an instantaneous "whoa" from the audience.

It was obvious that these reporters from China had come specially to show their support.

Compared with the arrogant Europeans and the beautiful Chinese, they actually have a deeper understanding of what kind of company Hillhouse is.

I have a hunch that Gao Huaijun's unusual decision not to promote his products in China this time is definitely a valid one.

After all, when a large and influential company in the world loses face all over the world, it is not only its own face that is lost, but also the face of the entire Chinese people.

Therefore, Hillhouse Capital does not have complete certainty and will never dare to embarrass itself at the Mobile World Congress.

"Hillhouse has always been a leader in the smartphone industry."

"We started with the Mate 1 and continued with the latest P series. For more than a decade, we have launched a high-end flagship mobile phone product that meets market demand every year."

"We were the first to use flexible screen materials with the P1 product, ushering in the era of flexible screens."

"After several years of development, we conducted further research on flexible screens and found that flexible screens can be folded repeatedly but cannot be completely bent. We made the world's first foldable screen mobile phone, mateX1!"

"From then on, Hillhouse Technology opened a new era of seamless foldable screen mobile phones for the first time."

As he spoke, Gao Huaijun clicked on the PPT continuously, showing the display pictures of the two products, mate1 and mateX1.

As can be seen from the pictures, Hillhouse's production technology has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Mate 1 is more of a novel concept, but mate X1 already shows exquisite workmanship.

King Felipe, who was off the court, was shocked when he saw Hillhouse's two products.

He was not aware of the strength of Hillhouse Capital and thought it was a second-rate mobile phone manufacturer. The Taiwanese government wanted to flatter him, but it was only because the Taiwanese industry has been hollowing out in recent years.

Apart from football, everything else is really lacking.

Otherwise, they would not have fallen to the level of the four PIGS countries.

This kind of thinking seems incredible to the Chinese people.

How is it possible that you, the king of a country, have such limited views on changes in the world?
But in fact, this is the daily life of old money in Europe, they are conservative, maintain the original order and do not like change!

This is also the core reason why Europe has missed the opportunity continuously in recent years!
Artificial intelligence, new energy, the Internet, really nothing is available.

"We started with mateX and continued to develop the most recent mateX3. This folding screen phone has made breakthroughs in the latest technologies, stress hinges, external screen reliability, heat dissipation, etc., making it the best folding screen phone in the world."

“After it was launched on the market, it can be said that it was well received by consumers.”

"Last year, we launched the world's latest vertical folding screen mobile phone, mateX2MINI, which is the pioneer of seamless small folding mobile phones in the world."

“It opens a new era of seamless small foldable phones.”

"It is safe to say that Hillhouse has always been on the path of guiding the development of the world's mobile phone industry!"

Gao Huaijun spoke those words without breathing or getting red in the ears.

The audience present all applauded.

After hearing Gao Huaijun talk about Hillhouse's mobile phone development history, some European reporters realized how impressive Hillhouse's mobile phone research and development is.

This is not something other mobile phone manufacturers can compare to.

In fact, they are also very angry about Pingguo's attitude of making money by doing nothing.

You said you made money, but you can't rest on your laurels, right?
While lying in the bathtub, Jobs came up with a good idea that could completely overturn the original design plan.

That feeling, that passion for making products.

With the departure of Jobs, even if I don't expect you to be in your original state, you can at least maintain 50% of your original state, right?
Now, the number of R&D personnel is more than five times of what it used to be, but the things they produce are getting worse year by year, and the original shortcomings are still there. For example, the communication signal has not been solved after half a day of work!

What the hell is going on!
"Our foldable screen mobile phone can support wired and wireless super fast charging."

“It can be said that it supports the latest communication technology, allowing mobile phones to maintain excellent signals in countless extreme situations.”

"It is thin and light, fully foldable, and has everything you need."

As Gao Huaijun spoke, he smiled slightly and made some witty remarks.

At this moment, even the European director of Pingguo who was sitting in the audience couldn't help but blush after hearing this.

He knew that Gao Huaijun was not speaking casually, but was definitely referring to Pingguo.

Pingguo's A chip has never been able to work with the communication baseband, and finally there was no other choice but to use an external baseband.

This made Kuko so angry that he directly laid off all the relevant Indian R&D teams. In Kuko's opinion, this group of people can only brag, and the key is that this group of people also breed inbreeding.

Now, Indian R&D personnel account for two floors within Pingguo, and the number is still expanding rapidly.

As he spoke, Gao Huaijun turned a page of the PPT. When the audience saw the title on the PPT, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Some foreign journalists also discussed with each other.

There is a sentence written on it: Dare to be extraordinary, rewrite industry history, and turn science fiction into reality.

Now, everyone's appetite is higher than the sky!

Hillhouse has launched such a high-profile bomb, but if what it produces is not good, it will definitely be slapped in the face.

And King Felipe below had completely lost the smile and relaxation he had at the beginning, as if he was just going through the motions. Instead, he looked at Gao Huaijun's speech with a serious expression.

In fact, he was also looking forward to what kind of tricks this company, which was not very famous in Europe before, would come up with!

"Today, we bring you a product that everyone can think of but has never been able to make."

"Our team had the idea of ​​Hillhouse X1 from the very beginning, and we have been working hard for more than four years to achieve this."

"We never give up and we dare to break through ourselves."

"Today we will once again rewrite the history of the industry, turn science fiction into reality, and lead a new era of folding."

Following applause from the audience, a promotional video began playing on the temporary big screen in front of Gao Huaijun.

After a dazzling display of light and shadow effects, a red mobile phone slowly opened under the golden light.

Then, accompanied by exciting music, the details of the golden edge of the phone were revealed.

With the last scene, a camera in the shape of a Bagua appeared on the back of the phone.

This so-called epoch-making product has finally revealed its true appearance.

Triple fold!
This phone is actually a three-fold phone!
Everyone, including King Felipe, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Hillhouse Capital was the first to break through the physical boundaries of mobile phones.

Successfully developed a triple-folding screen mobile phone that can be mass-produced.

This. . .

How can it be!

After the exclamation from the audience, there was a brief silence, followed by thunderous applause!

This is truly shocking.

No wonder Hillhouse dared to be so high-profile and hold a promotional event for this product at the Mobile World Congress.

This is not just a promotion, this is simply riding on people's faces to carry out face-to-face output!

At this time, the head of the European region of Pingguo Company, who was standing off the field, no longer had the initial ease and comfort on his face, and a serious expression flashed across his face.

Originally, he came to watch Hillhouse's show and wanted to embarrass Hillhouse.

He has even bribed several large media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Bild, The Times, etc., to have these newspapers discredit Hillhouse and let Hillhouse know why the flowers are so red!

Then, together with the president of Pingguo China, they jointly hyped up the situation and made Hillhouse look bad.

Now who would have thought that Hillhouse Capital has really come up with a product that can be considered disruptive. Now it makes people feel that he is just a clown.

It felt as if someone had slapped him hard in the face with their hand and, as if that wasn't enough, they had also stepped hard on his face.

Triple foldable phone?
How did the Chinese come up with this product?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, he resisted the urge to report immediately, but immediately sent a message to Kuko who was thousands of miles away.

After all, Hillhouse is now taking this action and directly playing out the trump card of the three-fold mobile phone, which is definitely not a fake attack.

Soon, Cuco replied, "Use your mobile data to watch the live video on your mobile phone for me!"

Seeing Kuko's reply, the president of Pingguo Europe was surprised.

You know, Madrid time is nine hours earlier than Los Angeles time.

This means that three o'clock in the afternoon now is equivalent to 12 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles!

Generally speaking, Europeans and Americans will not get involved in work after get off work. This is called working balance.

But now, Kuko directly asked him to do a live broadcast to him via video. What does this mean?
At this moment, it was impossible for him not to understand the significance of this product from Hillhouse!

change!
Transfer now!
As he spoke, Gao Huaijun was seen slowly getting into the main topic of this product.

"This is our latest disruptive product, Hillhouse mateST, where S stands for S-foldable, and T stands for
Top technology, that is, Top Technology. "

"We believe that this product will lead the future trend, so we named it mate ST."

"It can be said that we have made tremendous efforts for the mass production and reliability of this product."

"When you unfold this phone, it's 10.2 inches, and it's probably the largest and thinnest business tablet in the world."

As Gao Huaijun spoke, he unfolded the mateST phone in his hand and showed it to the audience in front of him.

The audience also applauded unanimously.

The fact that this product can achieve this level is enough to surprise them.

The key is that this thing can be mass-produced into finished products!

This kind of shock is indescribable, but it is no less than the feeling that the Chinese people had when they saw the Trisolarans.

You know, looking at the lightness and thinness of the tri-fold product in Gao Huaijun's hand really subverts everyone's perception of mobile phone research and development.

How do you get the battery when you make the screen so thin?
The battery is ready, but what about the chip components and other parts?

Don't you want to go in at all?
unbelievable!

It's really against the will of heaven!

It seems that the Chinese are bragging about themselves this time!

It seems that this disruptive product is not exaggerated.

At this time, there was another round of warm applause in the arena.
