Chapter 1548: Chapter 1549: Completely Different
There are a lot of idiots on the internet.
So Dream Company was hoping to use this to stir up public opinion, to force Star Technology under pressure to let Dream Company have a way out.
However, they were thinking a bit too much.
As for Dream’s conduct, netizens are crystal clear about it. "Four-seven shit."
So under this Weibo post, countless replies appeared.
Dream is going bankrupt? They went that far? Wait, let me go buy a string of firecrackers first, then come back and keep posting.
"For a ruthless and decisive company like Star Technology, I only want to say: beautiful job..."
"Dream is worthy of calling itself domestic? Go be a son to your American daddy!"
Star Technology is a company worthy of respect. Other companies put making money as their first goal, but Star Technology is different, for example in differential pricing, cloud services, prioritizing Chinese users.
Servers and all that, Star Technology really does put domestic users first...
The netizens were completely one-sided, supporting Star Technology and cursing Dream.
Totally different from Dream’s prediction that angry netizens would pressure Star Technology.
Very clearly, this is the retribution for how Dream has treated Chinese consumers differently all these years.
Dream is in trouble, and people from all directions are just watching, with some even kicking them while they’re down.
And not just netizens—Star Technology’s allies also showed up.
First was Fangzheng Computers, an old brand.
They haven’t been very high-profile these years, but they do have strength.
"We fully support all of Star Technology’s moves. Our Huayao may not be a big company in computers, but we guarantee that all Dream employees other than the sales department don’t need to worry. If Dream goes under,
we’re willing to offer you a new job."
Huayao went harder: while voicing support for Star Technology, they also started poaching people to develop their computer business.
This has always been Huayao’s style—willing to spend money on R&D and recruiting talent.
Other computer companies also jumped out one after another.
Mai’s boss Lei: "Dream’s workers also don’t need to worry about unemployment. We at Mai are willing to acquire one of their factories."
Asus: "We at Asus also want one. Everyone rest assured, even if Dream collapses, the domestic computer market won’t suffer any loss, because we’ll do a better job than Dream!"
This was simply a grand spectacle.
Dream hasn’t even gone bankrupt yet, but it looks like all their factories and whatnot are about to be divided up.
Looking at the grand spectacle online, with the whole population participating.
Dream is basically a street rat now, everyone shouting to beat it.
Dream’s CEO looked at Weibo in despair.
This time they’re really done for.
"Boss, why don’t we make our own phones and computers?"
Lan Feifei was a bit tempted.
Recently, the four giants of domestic smartphones have been raking in huge profits at home and abroad thanks to Star Technology, at least hundreds of billions.
The same goes for computers. It’s believed that domestic manufacturers will soon rely on Star Technology to dominate the domestic market and rake in money overseas.
This is absolutely a sky-high fortune.
Anyone would be tempted—this is a multi-trillion market.
And Star Technology has the best system in the world, the best screens in the world.
Under these circumstances, for Star Technology to enter the computer and smartphone industries would be a piece of cake.
However, Ye Chen hadn’t done so, which filled Lan Feifei’s heart with doubt.
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"You can never finish making money, and a person’s energy is not infinite!"
"We already make enough. It’s impossible for us to take all the profits from the production lines!"
"If we did that, we’d become the public enemy of the industry. Only you make money while everyone else can’t—this will create too many enemies!"
"Eating alone is not allowed in this society!"
"Even if our tech is better, without allies we could still be unable to move an inch! So giving up some profits is the best business choice."
As Ye Chen spoke, he received news from the PR department about Dream smearing Star Technology online.
He opened his computer—and saw that netizens and various allies had already flamed Dream to pieces.
"See, this is the benefit of having allies."
Ye Chen smiled slightly.
Star Technology has allies everywhere. Anyone who slanders Star Technology is essentially cutting off these allies’ revenue streams.

Of course they’ll spare no effort to help Ye Chen. Ye Chen values money, but not just money—also influence.
Take Mogul Ma and Mogul Wang for example.
They’ve both been the richest man, but in terms of influence, Mogul Ma surpasses Mogul Wang by countless times.
Simply because Mogul Ma has more allies.
While Mogul Wang is in real estate, with very few partners.
At this moment, Lan Feifei also understood.
In her heart, she admired Ye Chen even more.
Everyone knows you can’t eat alone, but with a multi-hundred-billion, multi-trillion business in front of you, how many people can be as carefree as Ye Chen?
Who can actually do that?
Looking at Ye Chen, Lan Feifei’s heart was filled with even more longing.
This kind of boss is just too attractive.
In short, Star Technology doesn’t even need to show up; Dream can just wait to die.
So Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to deal with that clown.
The next afternoon, the press conference kicked off as scheduled.
Star Technology’s press conferences are already hotter than big-name singers’ concerts.
Everyone knows that once Star Technology holds a press conference, they’ll unveil products that will change the industry landscape, even change the world.
That day, all one hundred thousand tickets for the Bird’s Nest were sold out.
The number of people watching the livestream reached over a hundred million.
There were lots of foreigners too.
But they also had plenty of complaints—for example, Star Technology’s press conference actually didn’t have an English translation, so they couldn’t understand a thing.
Foreign internet users are already protesting a lot, saying English is the international language and Star Technology should use English for its press conferences.
Some Star Technology employees saw that there were many foreign viewers and suggested doing simultaneous interpretation and making it a Chinese-English press conference.
However, Ye Chen just glanced at this proposal and tossed it aside.
Because he knew Ye Fan was very busy, he didn’t dare to bring it up lightly.
If he disturbed Ye Fan, caused his displeasure, and ended up making him lose his chance, what then?
Thinking of this, although Elder Tang was anxious in the manor every day, he didn’t dare let Fang Nan go ask.
Fortunately, Mr. Tang didn’t have to wait long; Ye Fan came over that weekend.
At this time, Ye Fan got out of the car. His face was full of excitement, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Beside him, someone from the Tang family also saw a trace of worry in his own eyes.
But just then, Ye Fan arrived.
"Master, why are you here today?"
Seeing Ye Fan walk over, Elder Tang greeted him respectfully.
Although his expression was a bit obscure, Ye Fan could still hear him. The latter asked if he could advance first.
Ye Fan paused, nodded slightly, and then said:
"That’s right. I have a way to help you climb another level."
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Elder Tang’s eyes lit up.
Looking at the Ye Fan in front of him, he couldn’t help but ask:
"Then, Master, what is the price of advancing to the Innate Realm?"
As a businessman, Elder Tang naturally knew there’s no pie falling from the sky.
What a joke—holding a press conference in our own country and you still want English?
Among the things Ye Chen hates most, speaking English in all sorts of occasions in China is one of them.
Chinese people work hard to learn English so that they can communicate normally when they go abroad.
Then when you foreigners come to China, naturally you should know Chinese.
Otherwise, how unfair is that to Chinese people?
Don’t know Chinese?
If you don’t know it, what are you doing in China, just get lost.
Chinese is the language with the largest number of speakers in the world—why should it always be lower than English?
Ye Chen never indulges foreigners’ bad habits.
In China you speak Chinese!
If you can’t understand then tough luck, hire a translator, it’s not like translation costs money.
As for all kinds of worship of the West in society, Ye Chen previously, as a loser, had no right to intervene.
But now, starting from Star Technology, Ye Chen intends to completely eradicate this ideology.
In short, no matter what, the Chinese-only press conference began.
One after another, the giants of the computer industry appeared, all attending this press conference.
And center stage, as always, was the vice president of Star Technology, who has huge online fame.
Lan Feifei is very famous online; she looks even better than celebrities, with the classic cool-queen office-lady vibe.
Lan Feifei’s especially alluring voice echoed through the Bird’s Nest venue.
The Star Computer System was officially released at that moment.
