The moment the video was released, Bilibili's parody section and all social media platforms across the internet became a sea of ​​joy!

The number of views exceeded 10 million in just half a day!

"Hahahaha! Absolutely amazing! This timing is addictive, I've been replaying it in my head all day!"

"Big Mouth: This is absolutely sabotage! Hahahaha, god-level ending!"

"A figurehead from Alibaba and Haofeng's only P13—isn't this a public declaration of war between the two major conglomerates?!"

Countless netizens, always eager for a good spectacle, flocked to Weibo, actively tagging the official verified accounts of Zhang Yong and Yu Chengdong, and adding fuel to the fire in the comments section.

However, faced with this entertainment frenzy that swept the entire internet.

The two parties involved reacted in exactly the same way:

They all pretended to be dead, remaining completely silent.

……

While the entire internet was still talking about the prelude to this e-commerce showdown.

Another breaking news story from the Dongda Technology Circle quietly made it to the top of the trending topics.

Samsung Electronics, the global leader that once held the top spot in mobile phone sales in Tokyo for many years.

Due to the ongoing scandal surrounding the Note 7 explosion last year, its market share in China has plummeted.

After facing multiple setbacks, including public backlash, Samsung today announced a strategic retrenchment that marks a historic turning point.

The company will completely close down multiple mobile phone contract manufacturers located within the University of Tokyo area and gradually withdraw its mobile phone manufacturing business from the University of Tokyo market!

Upon hearing the news, countless veteran digital enthusiasts and netizens expressed their mixed feelings online.

"I can't believe it... This was the king of Android phones back in the day!"

"From Anycall back then to the Galaxy series later on, who didn't dream of owning a Samsung phone when they were in school? I never thought it would end up like this, leaving the scene in such a disappointing way."

"The departure of a dominant power—this is yet another tearful moment for an era..."

However, amidst the sighs of relief, many rational tech bloggers and consumers have also expressed concerns online:

"Don't rush to celebrate the closure of foreign companies!"

"Without Samsung's presence to restrain and compete in the domestic high-end market..."

"Will the domestic mobile phone brands from Dongda University, having lost their competitors, cause the prices of their flagship phones to... skyrocket?!"

On various digital forums and Weibo comment sections, two completely opposite viewpoints are fiercely arguing.

Optimistic opponents believe this concern is simply meddling in other people's business.

"Stop joking! Prices are skyrocketing? Market economies are all about supply and demand!"

"Samsung is gone, but Apple is still above them, right? If domestic phone manufacturers really dare to charge exorbitant prices, people will all turn around and buy iPhones. Who will tolerate their bad habits then?!"

However, this argument was immediately refuted by a large number of digital bloggers and veteran hardware enthusiasts:

"Naive! You people are oversimplifying the price tiers!"

"What's the current price range for Apple products? The iPhone 7 Plus easily costs seven or eight thousand yuan, and the upcoming tenth-anniversary iPhone X is rumored to be priced at around ten thousand yuan! That's a luxury item catering to high-income professionals and the wealthy!"

"The current flagship phones from several domestic manufacturers are generally priced between three and four thousand yuan, which is to offer the best value for money."

"But if Samsung, the former king of Android phones, retires, a vacuum will appear in the domestic high-end Android ecosystem..."

"Domestic manufacturers only need to take their flagship models, which originally cost around 3,000 yuan, add a little bit of so-called 'self-developed technology' and minor innovations, and tentatively raise the price to the 5,000 or 6,000 yuan range!"

"By then, domestically produced phones will still be significantly cheaper than Apple phones that cost eight or nine thousand yuan!"

"For ordinary consumers who don't have the budget to buy an Apple phone but still want a flagship device, what other options do you have besides reluctantly buying a domestic brand costing five or six thousand yuan?!"

Moreover, knowledgeable netizens added insult to injury in the forum:

"Furthermore, the Chinese version of the Dongda Apple phone has many core functions removed for compliance reasons! Full-fledged Apple products can't be imported, and even if you manage to buy one through a reseller, warranty service becomes an issue!"

"When that day comes, even if domestically produced phones increase in price, they'll still have everyone wrapped around their little finger thanks to localized services and the so-called 'full-blooded experience'!"

……

While the domestic digital industry is still arguing about the pricing of future mobile phones.

Across the Yellow Sea in Seoul, a real-life drama far more surreal than any Hollywood movie is unfolding.

In front of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, hundreds of media outlets' cameras and microphones almost blocked the steps.

This morning, Seoul prosecutors, in an unusually strong stance, officially announced to the public:

[The prosecution will establish a special investigation team to reopen a full investigation into the Zhang Ziyan case, which shocked the nation many years ago!]

Before this, it should be noted that this sexual bribery suicide case, which exposed the dark secrets of the South Korean entertainment industry, had already become a joke due to the joint suppression by major conglomerates and the judicial system.

More than 30 powerful and influential figures from various fields involved in the case were all exonerated and their cases were dropped on the grounds that they were innocent.

In the end, only the president of the agency and the manager were pushed forward to take the blame, and the two were only given symbolic suspended sentences for minor offenses, without even spending a day in jail!

Today, the key trigger that allowed the prosecution to tear off all pretenses and start over is so absurd it's astonishing—

[Zhang Ziyan's "bitter suicide note" from years ago has been proven to be 100% forged!]

Several authoritative mainstream media outlets in South Korea, including SBS, simultaneously broke shocking news this morning:

Back in 2011, the 230 so-called "handwritten letters from Jang Ja-yeon" received by SBS were not in the deceased's handwriting at all!

The person who forged these suicide notes was Jeon Jun-joo, a serious criminal who was serving time in prison at the time and had a history of multiple heinous rape convictions!

While in prison, he relied on newspaper and television reports to almost pathologically imitate the deceased's handwriting, forging more than two hundred letters filled with sensationalism and sexual violence, and then sending them to the media to gain attention.

What truly shattered the worldview of the entire Republic of Korea was that this convicted rapist, after serving his sentence, successfully married Nancy Lang, a well-known actress and avant-garde artist!

The reason why Jeon Jun-joo's fabricated background was exposed this time was not due to the prosecutor's brilliance, but because a fanatical sasaeng fan of Nancy Lang, out of jealousy of his idol's marriage, spent a lot of money to hire a private investigator to uncover the materials!

Such a melodramatic plot, which even third-rate screenwriters wouldn't dare to write, actually unfolded in Seoul.

However, under the spotlight's focus.

The chief prosecutor, affectionately known among the public as Seoul's most sentimental prosecutor, raised his arms and shouted a powerful declaration to the camera:

"Justice will never fade because of lies!"

"No matter who it is, no matter how high their position, if they violate South Korean law, the prosecution will investigate thoroughly and show no leniency!!"
