Chapter 746 Samsung explodes, a giant falls!
"Chairman, actually... the preliminary assessment is that our Samsung fast charging technology is not mature enough. The 30-watt power is too high, and the excessive heat during charging caused the Samsung Note 7 battery to explode..."

"Sure enough, without StarCharge, Samsung can't function!"

Lee Kun-hee's expression turned complicated: "If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off using the Star Charge 3.0!"

After all, when I used the Xingyi 30W fast charger before, there were no problems at all.

Now look what's happened! I switched to Samsung's self-developed 30W fast charging, and it just exploded!

The problem is obvious!

"What are you going to do?"

The idea of ​​urging the Note 7 to adopt Samsung's self-developed fast charging ahead of schedule was Lee Kun-hee's, and he didn't dare to investigate it too much!

"Chairman, we are preparing to push out a new version of the system via OTA, limiting the fast charging power from 30 watts to 20 watts, which should be fine. However, this will put us behind our competitors' 30 watts."

"Even backwardness must be restricted; safety comes first. I don't want to hear about a fourth explosion..."

As soon as Lee Kun-hee finished speaking, his secretary rushed in in a fluster:

"Chairman, two more Note 7 explosions have occurred, one in China and one in England..."

Lee Kun-hee's lips twitched: "..."

Cui Zaizhi broke out in a cold sweat: "..."

I just said I didn't want to hear about a fourth explosion, and now there's a fifth one!
It works!

"Is the loss serious?" Lee Kun-hee asked with some concern.

"The incident in Xia was alright; it exploded while charging and no one was injured. The one in England exploded inside the user's pocket... and the user was hospitalized with burns."

"Damn it! Push it to the system now!" Lee Kun-hee was furious, fearing a sixth, a seventh... a tenth...

"Yes!"

Cui, who was on duty, immediately made the arrangements.

Two hours later, all Note 7 users received a system upgrade notification, and it was strongly requested.

After five explosions, users were no longer taking it lightly and promptly upgraded their systems.

After all, slower charging is better than an explosion!
Mild burns can result in serious injuries, such as fires and hospitalization.

No one dares to joke about it.

Many users have also started to protect their rights, applying for refunds and demanding a recall!

But clearly, Samsung did not accept it.

The capital city, the Summer Palace.

Wang Yi put down his wine glass, lay down on the soft sofa, and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

Jian Ziyan walked over, knelt down beside him, and began to massage Wang Yi.

"Chairman, the Samsung Note 7 exploded! Haha, this explosion is going to be fun."

As Wang Yi's secretary and head housekeeper, Jian Ziyan frequently visits the Summer Palace.

After all, the initial decoration of Yiheyuan was personally overseen by Jian Ziyan, so a room was specially reserved for her.

When Wang Yi wasn't at the company, Jian Ziyan would deliver important documents to Yihe Yuanzhu for Wang Yi to sign and approve.

Sometimes when the two of them discussed work late into the night, Jian Ziyan would stay at the Summer Palace.

Recently, however, Jian Ziyan has been coming quite frequently.

They are doing more and more things.

Just like this massage.

Previously, I would only massage Wang Yi's neck when he was sitting.

Now it's great, I can get a full-body massage!
They really don't consider themselves outsiders.

Wang Yi frowned. Could this guy be lusting after me?
Jian Ziyan is 25 years old and still single. Considering what happened before, she probably has much bigger plans!

Seeing Wang Yi deep in thought, Jian Ziyan gently massaged him while smiling and saying:
"Chairman, Samsung has now pushed out a new system that reduces the charging power from 30 watts to 20 watts. They believe that the Note 7 explosion was caused by a problem with Samsung's 30 watt fast charging!"

Wang Yi laughed: "If it's just a matter of fast charging, that would be great."

While Samsung's self-developed fast charging technology played a role in the Note 7 explosion incident, it wasn't the primary contributor.
The key is the battery cells in the Note 7.

In the past, there was no Star Charge fast charging. In 2016, the charging speed was still very slow, ranging from 10 to 22.5 watts.

Huawei's SuperCharge fast charging at 22.5W ranks first.

OPPO VOOC Flash Charge 20W ranks second.

The Samsung Note 7, with its 15W power consumption, falls into the second tier.

The iPhone's 10-watt underdog.

The fact that the Samsung Note 7 exploded with a 15W slow charge indicates that the problem wasn't with the 30W fast charging, but rather with the Samsung battery cells themselves.

With 30W fast charging now available, the Note 7 explosion is most likely due to problems with both the battery cells and the fast charging itself. The combined effect of these two issues made the explosion even more intense and spectacular.

Therefore, in such a short time, there have been five or six explosions, and it is unknown how many more have not yet occurred.

The speed of this explosion has far surpassed the development of the previous life.

"Could it be that the Samsung Note 7 explosions weren't just due to fast charging issues?" Jian Ziyan asked with interest. "If that's the case, then their downgrade was ineffective."

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "It's not entirely ineffective, but it's not very useful either. Let's keep watching. The Samsung Note 7 is going to be very interesting; it'll blow Samsung out of the water!"

"Then I'll wait and see!" Jian Ziyan smiled sweetly, her hands massaging Wang Yi becoming even smoother.

Wang Yi sighed and said, "Ziyan, you don't need to do these things."

"It's alright, Chairman. You lent me so much money so I could buy a house early, and you didn't charge any interest. The house price has already increased by several million. What I'm doing is insignificant."

“You deserve all of this,” Wang Yi said calmly. “You have worked hard and made great contributions over the years, doing a good job in both company and family matters. You don’t need to repay the loan; consider it a bonus.”

“Then…then…then I have even less way to repay you,” Jian Ziyan said slowly.

"No need to repay me, you deserve it!"

"That won't do!" Jian Ziyan's cheeks flushed slightly. She picked up the wine glass next to her, drank it all in one gulp, and boldly said, "How about... Chairman, I have a child for you!"

"???" Wang Yi was dumbfounded: "Jian Ziyan, how can you repay kindness with enmity like this?"

“Chairman, as your secretary and the chief steward of Xingyi Technology, I know too many core secrets. I want to stay by your side forever, but without a special relationship, I’m worried that you don’t trust me.”

"You've given me so much, I feel unworthy of it."

"But if you give me a chance, I don't ask for anything else, no fame, no status. I can stay by your side forever, be your secretary for life! I'll follow you and take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Wang Yi fell silent: "..."

This guy really won't give up.

After being impulsive last time and rejected by myself, I'm doing it again!

"Ziyan, I trust you completely. You've always been the head of Xingyi Technology, so don't worry about anything else."

Wang Yi stood up: "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep."

"Chairman..." Jian Ziyan hesitated, but ultimately suppressed the thousand words in her heart and said only "Good night".

"Peace." Wang Yi walked away with a carefree air.

Watching Wang Yi's departing figure, Jian Ziyan felt her heart pounding wildly.

I was impulsive in what I just said!
However, I felt a mix of joy and sorrow.

The sad thing is that even though I took such a big step, I was rejected again!
We're not ugly, are we?
Even if she can't compare to Liu Yifei, she's prettier than most female stars, right?
Why was I rejected again?

To my delight, even though I had been so presumptuous, the chairman was not angry and did not kick me out!

That means the chairman at least doesn't dislike him, he just doesn't like him enough!

Looks like I still have a lot of work to do!

As long as you stay by the chairman's side, take care of him in every way, and treat him well, you can melt even the coldest iceberg!

One day, the clouds will part and the moon will shine through!
Or, to be more aggressive, take advantage of the chairman's next time he's drunk... um...

Haha... isn't this a bit inappropriate?

Jian Ziyan's mind wandered, and she blushed with embarrassment.

"I won't give up anyway; I'll become the king's woman sooner or later!"

Jian Ziyan said resolutely!
After all, she met such an outstanding Wang Yi at the best age, who else could she possibly be interested in in this lifetime?
Wang Yi's prediction was correct.

After the Samsung Note 7 update was pushed out, most users updated, but the number of explosions still did not decrease.

And the number is increasing.

In the following week, there were more than 40 explosions according to incomplete statistics, bringing the total number of Samsung Note 7 explosions to over 50!

Users are furious and demand that Samsung recall all products and provide compensation.

However, Samsung continues to play dead and refuses to admit that there is a problem with the Samsung Note 7.

However, the number of explosions escalated again in the second week, with more than 60 explosions in a single week and a total of more than 120 explosions! This also caused many serious accidents, resulting in dozens of users being injured and hospitalized, and even causing four fires!
As a result, major airlines have included the Samsung Note 7 in their list of prohibited items.

As the situation escalated, Samsung realized it couldn't handle the situation any longer and finally issued a statement:

The spontaneous combustion incidents of the Samsung Note 7 were caused by a defect in the battery electrode separator film of Samsung SDI. We express our deepest regret and remorse.

Samsung will recall 1.5 million Note 7 units sold in ten countries including Europe, the US, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, and will replace them with new, safer versions free of charge. Replacement services will begin on September 21st.

This statement, offering free replacements with secure versions of the device, seems very responsible and reassures many people.

However, the Xia Kingdom was excluded from this recall!
This has angered many users in the Xia Kingdom, who have filed complaints to protect their rights.

Samsung, however, remained aloof, stating that the domestic version of the Samsung Note 7 did not have battery safety issues and refused to recall it!

Such an arrogant attitude has infuriated domestic users.

Samsung's last vestige of reputation in the country has also crumbled.

Even the fans who ultimately supported Samsung were completely disheartened.

Seeing this, Lin Shu, who was drinking milk tea, was very angry:
"Baby, Samsung is discriminating against us! They're discriminating against us! It's 2016 already, and they're still treating us differently!"

Wang Yi nodded: "It is indeed discrimination, and it's courting death."

"After the Samsung Note 7, Samsung may still be able to sell well overseas, but it's completely finished in China."

"That's how it should be! We should unite and boycott Samsung, refusing to buy any Samsung products! Mingxing Mingyi phones are better, why insist on buying Samsung? Now look what happened! We're treated like second-class users!"

Lin Shu said angrily, but her angry appearance was quite cute.

"The more arrogant Samsung is now, the more tragic it will be when it is abandoned by domestic users in the future," Wang Yi said with a smile.

Samsung's sales in China are still very high, ranking third only after the Starry Sky and the Boundless series!
However, after the Samsung Note 7 incident, Samsung's sales plummeted, and it became known as "others," with no hope of recovery.

This is just the beginning; the sales of other Samsung products in China will also continue to decline.

Even Samsung is a microcosm, a microcosm of the declining giants in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea!
In the future, with the full rise of domestic products, giants in various industries in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea will be replaced and crushed by domestic products.

This includes not only electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, and televisions, but also automobiles, storage devices, ships, and more.

The rise of domestically produced goods is an inevitable trend of the times and cannot be stopped!

Xingyi Technology was at the forefront of this movement, pioneering this magnificent era!

"This matter with Samsung is most advantageous to us. After this, the sales of Xingyi phones will reach new heights!"

The explosion of the Samsung Note 7, Samsung's arrogance, and differential treatment led to a significant decline in Samsung's market share, with domestic sales falling to less than one-tenth of their original value.

The vacated market and orders will likely flow to Xingyi Mobile and Wujie Mobile.

Xingyi Technology and Wang Yi are the biggest winners.

"Great news, worth celebrating!" Wang Yi was in high spirits.

"Celebrate!" Lin Shu's eyes lit up. "Brother, which outfit should I wear?"

"A resounding victory?"

"???" Wang Yi was stunned!
Is this how you want to celebrate?

Now I'm really intrigued!

The explosions of the Samsung Note 7 continue unabated.

Not only are there daily reports of Samsung Note 7 explosions, but even after switching to a safer version of the phone, explosions still occur.

That's right, many Samsung Note 7 phones that were supposedly safe also exploded!
By October, the number of Samsung Note 7 explosions had exceeded four hundred.

People from all walks of life have demanded that Samsung issue a full recall and stop selling the Samsung Note 7, but Samsung continues to refuse and stubbornly refuses to comply.

This has caused Samsung significant losses, with its corporate reputation facing a huge challenge, its stock price falling day by day, and its brand image being severely damaged.

But Samsung still refused to back down.

On October 12, a passenger's Samsung Note 7 caught fire as the plane was preparing for takeoff from the United States to South Korea, causing a fire.

Although the passengers were evacuated immediately, the Boeing aircraft suffered minor damage and required major repairs.

This angered the United States, airlines, and passengers from various countries, who demanded that Samsung take responsibility.

Daddy has spoken!

This time, Samsung couldn't hold on any longer.

Samsung was forced to announce that the Note 7 would be permanently discontinued worldwide.

The highly anticipated Samsung Note 7 came to an abrupt end.

This is a devastating blow to Choi Jae-chul, Lee Kun-hee, the Samsung board, and the entire Samsung Group.

And the losses were heavy.

The more than four million Samsung Note 7 units recalled globally alone resulted in direct losses exceeding 300 billion RMB!

As for the stock price loss and other indirect losses, Samsung has lost at least hundreds of billions!
However, Xingyi Technology won miserably.

After the Samsung Note 7 exploded, everyone thought Samsung was unreliable and dared not buy Samsung phones anymore, instead buying Samsung phones instead.

This directly led to a surge in Xphone 6 sales worldwide, with market share increasing by 30%.

In some areas, the number has surged by as much as 50%!

It can be said that most of the sales that originally belonged to Samsung became sales of the Starry Sky phones.

As a result, the iPhone next door also benefited, with its sales increasing by 10%.

Of course, the same applies to other mobile phone manufacturers such as LG and Sony, but the increase is smaller.

There's no way around it; the lion's share has been taken by Xingyi phones.

The full-screen display and pop-up camera, along with 30W fast charging, which were brought to the Xphone 6, and the world-leading performance of the Kunpeng 930, are simply amazing.

The Samsung Note 7 explosion incident has also made the public pay great attention to mobile phone security, and have made them more suspicious of smaller brands.

But I have more trust in big brands like Xingyi Technology.

In particular, Samsung initially claimed that the problem was with fast charging, which led people to distrust other fast charging solutions and instead only trust Samsung's Star Charge fast charging.

After all, fast charging was created by Xingyi Technology, and it has steadily progressed from version 1.0 to 2.0, to 3.0, and from 10 watts to 30 watts, without ever failing.

Moreover, the fact that all manufacturers, including Apple, LG, and Sony, are using StarCharge fast charging only underscores its reliability.

As a result, Xingyi Fast Charge has become the only fast charging technology recognized by the public.

As a result, many brands have started adding Starry Sky fast charging modules.

Qualcomm's 18W fast charging, however, has been met with indifference and is simply not selling.

In this situation, Qualcomm has no incentive to develop 30W fast charging. After all, Snapdragon chips are not selling well, and Qualcomm simply can't afford to focus on fast charging chips.

Most brands that originally planned to develop their own fast charging technology have given up, fearing that they might end up like Samsung, who failed miserably in the end!

Only Huawei is still developing its own super-fast charging technology, and OPPO is developing its own VOOC flash charging, but both are around 20 watts.

Almost all other brands have abandoned this approach and collectively adopted Xingyi Fast Charging 3.0!

For a time, Xingyi Fast Charging almost monopolized the entire mobile phone market.

What Samsung didn't expect was that the explosion of the Samsung Note 7 not only destroyed the Samsung phone beyond repair, but also severely damaged Samsung's entire brand image!
Originally, when Samsung was mentioned, everyone would say, "An international brand, a super giant."

When it comes to Samsung home appliances and various products, they are always described as "high-end, classy, ​​and of international quality!"

But the explosion of the Samsung Note 7 exposed its true colors, making the public wary of the Samsung brand.

When Samsung is mentioned again, it becomes, "Oh, that brand that explodes all the time!"

"A brand that doesn't want to take responsibility after an explosion!"

"An unreliable and irresponsible brand!"

As expected, Samsung's brand image is now in jeopardy!
In the following months, not only did Samsung's mobile phone sales continue to decline, but sales of other Samsung products also dropped significantly.

On the other hand, Xingyi Technology's situation is completely the opposite.

In particular, many people have come to fully endorse Star Charge technology after learning that Samsung exploded without it!

Not only did sales of Xingyi mobile phones surge, but Xingyi tablets, Xingyi TVs, Xingyi laptops, Xingyi cars, and more also became bestsellers.

More and more foreigners now believe that Samsung is finished, and that Starway Technology is the real super giant and the real big brand!

It's fair to say that the Samsung Note 7 explosion not only blew Samsung away, but also ruined Starway Technology.

By stepping on Samsung, Xingyi Technology has completely ascended to the top of the global giants, replacing them and becoming a super giant and a high-end brand recognized worldwide!

All business units are making great strides in their development.

Sales of all products have been soaring.

They have won first place in multiple product categories.

For example, Xingyi Motors produces 40,000 units per month, but it's not enough to meet demand!
Overseas sales are higher than domestic sales.
