Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

However, misfortunes never come singly. Just when Wang Hong was still hesitating whether to give up her HTC One x and get a full refund, even worse news came!

The marketing director looked pale as he read the message on his phone.

"What happened again?" Wang Hong frowned.

Fang Jin sighed: "Chairman, our HTC flagship store in Empire was robbed!"

"What? The flagship store was robbed?"

Wang Hong was stunned, and everyone else was also dumbfounded.

"How could this happen?" Wang Hong was speechless: "It's the 21st century, how can there still be such barbarians? Are you kidding me?"

Fang Jin was speechless: "It is said that the consumers who pre-ordered HTC One x in full wanted to get their money back, but the store said that it was a full-payment reservation and could not be refunded. The consumers started to defend their rights and made a scene, and more and more people gathered around. As a result, no one knew who was leading the scene, but a group of people rushed into the store and snatched away our display machines and new machines!"

Wang Hong's mouth twitched: "..."

The other senior executives also looked livid: "..."

This is a big loss.

A large flagship store was robbed and the losses were horrific.

"Have you called the police? What did the police say?" Wang Hong couldn't help but ask.

Fang Jin was helpless: "I called the police, but they couldn't do anything. First, there were too many people, and second, we were also at fault in this matter."

"This..." Wang Hong was silent, not knowing what to say.

Fang Jin continued, "This kind of thing is easy to happen in the Empire. We called the police, but the FBI can't do anything about it. We can only accept it."

Wang Hong: "..."

"More importantly, I'm worried that other people will follow suit and take over a few of our stores, and then we'll be finished."

"Yes, you are right, this is the most serious matter."

Wang Hong took a deep breath and said, "We can't let them continue to make trouble. Well, let's notify them that all the 150 million HTC One x pre-orders will be refunded! Oh!"

A sigh of helplessness.

It feels so uncomfortable to put meat in your mouth and then spit it out.

Some people couldn't help but say: "150 million units, a profit of more than billion, we can't give it up, Chairman!"

Wang Hong smiled coldly: "Not retreating? Then let them continue to rob?"

"This..." The man was speechless.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Refund first, and don't let this get out of hand."

"Yes!"

"Chairman, then our HTC One x production and purchase..."

Wang Hong sighed deeply, looking extremely sad:

"There is nothing we can do. Apple, Samsung, Nokia and other companies have filed patent lawsuits against us. In the future, HTC One x will be banned from sale in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea."

"It can be said that HTC One X can only be sold in regions where it is not banned, and sales will be greatly reduced, even to less than one in ten. Forget 50 million units, it would be good if it can sell 5 million."

"As for components? We should cut orders if possible to control costs. As for production, we should reduce production lines and produce while selling to prevent excessive inventory."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

"Yes!"

Everyone left one after another. Wang Hong was guarding the huge conference room, looking extremely unhappy:

“Before, I was thinking that HTC One x was selling well all over the world, crushing xphone 1pro and becoming the world’s number one!”

“But now they are facing prosecution, sales ban, and massive refunds… How ironic!”

"What a joke, oh!"

With a sigh, Wang Hong's expression became extremely gloomy.

What’s even more terrible is that the problem lies not only with the HTC One x, but also with HTC’s other best-selling phones and future new phones.

It can be said that as long as it is a mobile phone, it must have communications and involve a large number of communications patents.

Other patents are easy to circumvent, so let’s try another solution.

However, communication patents are difficult to circumvent, let alone circumvent completely!

This will lead to prosecution and sales ban.

As a result, HTC's future is truly uncertain.

Last year, HTC sold 4300 million units. This year, let alone making further progress, it is likely that the sales will be halved.

For a moment, Wang Hong looked gloomy, feeling that HTC was surrounded by enemies and the situation was hopeless.

But as a strong woman, she was still very strong. She quickly calmed down and studied new coping strategies.

The lanterns are on.

Wang Yi returned to Lin Shu's house, and as soon as he entered the door, the aroma of meat hit him.

Lin Shu came out of the kitchen carrying a rice cooker: "Wang Yi, I braised pig's trotters and pig's ears, come and try them!"

Wang Yi was very surprised: "Xiao Shu, you can also braise these?"

"I didn't know how to make it before. You said you liked to eat it when you were a kid, so I learned how to make it during the winter vacation. I also got some secret recipes for stewed food. How about trying it?"

As he spoke, Lin Shu picked up a big pig's trotter and put it in Wang Yi's bowl.

After washing his hands, Wang Yi looked at the pig's trotters in the bowl and said with a smile, "This is of very good quality, not much worse than the ones sold in Luweizhai."

Then he tasted it again: "Mm, delicious! Xiao Shu, you can open a stall with this level of cooking!"

"Really?" Lin Shu was in a good mood, her eyes were like water: "As long as you like it, it's good. It's a pity that I didn't buy the secret recipe of Luweizhai. They keep it very secret."

"It's okay, it's already delicious. Remember, get some pig tails next time."

"Pig tail, you like to eat this? Good!"

Wang Yi nodded and fell into reminiscence: "I loved eating it when I was a child. At that time, there was an uncle in my hometown village who rode a motorcycle with cooked meat and sold it in the village."

"My grandma knows I like to eat it, so she always asks him to leave me a pig's tail."

"Although there's not much meat, it tastes really good. I haven't eaten it for years."

Wang Yi was filled with emotion.

Maybe I don’t really like eating pig tails now, but I just miss the feeling from my childhood.

Carefree and without worries, a pig's tail can make you happy for most of the day.

That period was the happiest time for Wang Yi, but it was also a time that he could never go back to.

Even though we are more wealthy and financially powerful now, we no longer have the same state of mind as we did back then.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

Lin Shu held Wang Yi's hand and said gently, "Okay, next time I will braise the pig's tail. If it tastes good, we will make more and bring it back to grandma, grandpa and grandma!"

"Good!" Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Xiao Shu, it's great to have you."

"Hehe, it's better to have a brother." Lin Shu said and kissed him gently.

After dinner, Lin Shu leaned on Wang Yi, swinging her long legs and browsing her phone:

"HTC announced that all HTC One x pre-orders that have paid in full can be refunded unconditionally!"

"Xiaoyi, all HTC One xs have been refunded."

"It's as expected." Wang Yi said calmly, knowing in his heart that HTC One x was finished and would no longer have any impact on xphone 1pro.

This was the case with HTC in its previous life. It launched many popular models, but they all failed for various reasons.

For example, HTC G7 sold so well that it overshadowed Samsung's flagship, so Samsung directly cut off the supply of G7 screens on the grounds of insufficient production capacity.
