Chapter 327 The Spring of Copycat Phones (Part 2)

Jos personally flew to China.

China is one of the key regions for future [IPO] companies.

A market with a population of 1.3 billion, and the economy has been developing like a rocket in recent years. If this market is managed well, it will be absolutely terrifying.

This time he came to China in a very low-key manner. Apart from notifying some old friends, he only brought his assistant Weiss.

When he got off the plane, he felt good.

Huaxia has a special channel for foreign friends, so you don’t have to queue or watch anything. You can even get a taxi right after you go out.

The car is driving on the road.

The driver was a young man. Because foreigners often came to Yanjing, and José wore a hat, the young man didn't think José and Weiss were very new.

But, quite talkative.

Jos had to admire the rapid improvement in China's per capita education quality, and a taxi driver actually knew English.

Along the way...

The driver introduced the tourist attractions in Yanjing to them in somewhat broken English.

Jos listened attentively.

but……

There was an advertisement on the radio in the taxi, which made him feel particularly harsh for some reason. He vaguely seemed to hear an iPhone 4, or something.

He asked the driver curiously.

"Oh, this is a domestic brand that was just released a few days ago, called [Nimei Smartphone]."

"[Ni Mei Smartphone]?"

"Yes, the meaning of the advertisement is that they have a better signal than the iPhone 4. At the same time, they support dual-SIM dual standby, free Internet access for twenty years, are fully touch-screen, and are waterproof and anti-fall..."

"Oh, sir, is the phone you are using an iPhone 4?"

"Haha, yes, I use an iPhone 4!"

"Why do I feel that your iPhone 4 is different from the iPhone 4 on the market?"

"What's the difference? It's the same!"

Joes was keenly aware that the iPhone 4 in the driver's hand had a strange streamlined design, and was slightly larger than the iPhone 4.

He asked the driver if he could show him his cell phone, and the driver was generous and handed it to him immediately.

When he got the phone, he immediately realized something was wrong. Not only was the appearance design much rougher than the traditional iPhone 4, but the weight was also different and seemed to be lighter.

This is a pirated copy!

When he stared at the unbitten apple behind the iPhone 4, his expression changed drastically!

Wait, are China’s piracy so exaggerated now?

He opened the interface inside.

Then, I found that the first display interface of the phone was exactly the same as iPhone4, but after swiping it lightly, ok! It can't be opened even with a light stroke...

Then, he realized that the screen was not a capacitive screen, but the cheapest resistive screen on the market!

"Hello, Mr. Driver, your phone is a pirated iPhone 4!"

"What kind of pirated iPhone 4? We are iPhone 4 phones... Everyone is using Apple 4, is there any difference?"

"There is a difference. iPhone4 has its own patent. Your phone uses the worst-quality resistive screen on the market. It is easily broken and has slow response time..."

"Sir, Zhenzong's iPhone 4 is so expensive. If you don't increase the price now, you can't buy it at all. How much does my phone cost?"

"How many?"

“Sold directly from the factory store, it’s only 699! For 699, you can buy the iPhone 4 with the same functions as the iPhone 4. It can take photos, shoot videos, access wireless Internet, even connect to QDog, and make voice calls...what do you want? Where’s your bicycle?”

"..."

The bus arrived at the station soon.

Joss got out of the car with a complicated expression.

He deliberately squeezed the Yanjing City subway with Wei Si.

The subway was so crowded that he was a little out of breath. Weiss took a deep breath, and finally the two of them found a seat to sit down using their status as "foreign friends."

Then……

He saw many young men using iPhone 4 phones in the subway.

What he saw this time was not a pirated copy, but a genuine one...

However, he saw a young man who seemed to be holding a mobile phone and cursing something.

Then……

A young man next to him handed him a mobile phone case. After putting on the mobile phone case, the young man stopped scolding.

"Weiss, what are they talking about?"

"They said that when they bought the mobile phone at the Apple 4 store, they specially gave them a signal case. Wearing this signal case, they can have signal..."

"What?" Joss was stunned, and then thought of what McCann said when he was in the company!

Their [IPO] company has never launched such a mobile phone case at all. How come China has such a mobile phone case so quickly?

Then, his face began to look ugly.

Along the way, he found that many people had put a mobile phone case on the iPhone 4 that he was proud of...

The phone case is beautiful.

There are some star patterns, some cartoon patterns, and some weird patterns that seem to be young and trendy.

“Where are these phone cases?”

"It seems to be from Yangcheng!"

"Yangcheng? [Yaohua Technology]?"

"yes!"

After coming out of the subway, Joss followed Weis towards the [IPO flagship store].

The [IPO flagship store] in Yanjing was very lively, with long queues all the way.

Joss was not surprised. After all, when he was in the United States, Weiss told him about the current rush to buy iPhone 4 in China.

When he walked to the side of the flagship store, he suddenly saw a young man holding a box of mobile phone cases and shouting something with a loudspeaker.

Then, some people who grabbed the mobile phone would walk over and ask the price as soon as possible, and usually buy one!

His eardrums were a little painful from the loudspeaker...

Then he glanced at Weiss next to him.

Weiss's face changed drastically after hearing what the young man who was buying the mobile phone case was shouting, and turned into extremely angry!

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Joss, I... I feel very, very angry now!"

"What is he talking about that makes you so angry?"

"He said that the founder of Apple 4, Mr. Jem, CEO of [Apple], authorized a special iPhone 4 mobile phone case..."

"What?" Joss's eyes widened when he heard a series of unfamiliar names.

What's the connection?

Then...

He walked closer.

He found that next to some mobile phone cases, there was an American man with a pipe in his mouth and glasses...

At first glance, that American looked a bit like him!

Damn it!

Huaxia not only pirated his mobile phone, but also pirated his people?

He stared at the person in the picture carefully...

He even felt that the person in the picture was a photo of him working, with a little PS, making his face whiter, his body fatter, and some blonde hair...

If this is not infringement, what is it?

Weis wanted to go forward to argue angrily, but was stopped by Joss!

"Take pictures and collect evidence!"

"Okay!"

Weis suppressed her anger, took pictures, and left [IPO flagship store].

They came to another mobile phone dealer's store, which was very busy. When they stood at the door, they heard a noise.

Someone bought a fake Apple in that "Awei Mobile Store" and was arguing with the owner...

Joss got closer and looked, and his eyes were wide open!

It can't be said to be similar, it's exactly the same as his own Apple, even the logo is exactly the same, and it even says iPhone 4 on the back!

Has piracy become so serious?

"This person just spent 44 on a mobile phone, and when he opened it, the system was all Android, and what's more infuriating is... it was actually made of [Huaxing] mobile phone shell! Three days after he bought it, he found that his iPhone 4 phone was different from others. He took the phone to argue, but the store owner didn't admit it, saying that he bought a fake phone to blackmail..."

"There are so many people pretending to be iPhone 4 in China now?"

When Jos heard this, he felt that his three views were shattered!

However...

The final result was good.

After Jos looked at the door for a while, he saw the police coming. The police came to check the mobile phone dealer.

Then, it was found that the iPhone 4 phones sold by this dealer were either parallel imports or Android phones with shells.

However...

After seeing the police close the dealer store suspected of "fraud", Jos didn't smile, but became even more speechless!

He looked around.

"Not 4999, not 3999, only 699, only 699, direct sales from the factory store! [Nimei] mobile phone, direct sales from the factory store!"

He heard the sound of the horn, and then he saw the [Nimei] mobile phone factory store not far away...

The mobile phones sold there are all pirated iPhone 4s, just with a different icon, and then they are sold openly!

Crazy!

Everyone is crazy!

When he saw that this factory store was surrounded by many middle-aged and elderly people, and even some young people went to watch the fun, his facial muscles twitched slightly.

The blood in his body was trembling!

The feeling of anger filled his whole body...

He originally thought that Chinese piracy was very serious, but when he really came to China, he realized the horror of Chinese piracy!

"Go to Yangcheng!"

"Mr. Qiao Si, are we really going to Yangcheng?"

"Go!"

"Mr. Qiao Si, you must be mentally prepared when you go there. Since the Android system was opened and the guy named Zhang Sheng opened some [appearance patents], some mobile phone manufacturers in China have gone crazy... I just got the news that there are not so many people queuing in some [IPO flagship stores] in Yangcheng. Some iPhone 4 phones are not even selling as well as some pirated phones!"

"Don't worry, I have made all the mental preparations when I came from China this time. By the way, you will make all the evidence and materials of what you saw in China, and feedback to our Ministry of Commerce over there, so that the Ministry of Commerce will come forward!"

"Okay!"

Jos was very calm and explained these things to Weiss.

Then...

He looked into the distance.

He narrowed his eyes!

Then, he followed Weiss to get a taxi and walked towards the airport.

"By the way, check if that mobile phone case was made by that guy named Zhang Sheng!"

"Okay! Got it!"

"..."
