Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 389 Here we go again! Free advertising delivered to your door.

"Our market has already hit rock bottom, and our reputation can't afford to fall any further."

We must carefully protect our image this time and not let our users pay for our mistakes.

Lin Bin looked puzzled. Given all this, was there any need to maintain this persona?

"Free recall, improved heat dissipation solution."

Add another copper heat pipe to the motherboard and a graphene heatsink to the mid-frame to conduct heat to the mid-frame.

Do not allow the ceramic back cover to become the only heat dissipation channel.

All new batches of mobile phones are manufactured according to the new design, and existing customers will receive free repair and upgrades.

"But what about production capacity?"

"We're offering more money to the contract manufacturers, since our smart home system is about to be launched, and our reputation during this period is very important."

Lin Bin considered it for a long time. Although it was to maintain his reputation, it was real money. However, it was a necessary investment for the smart home business.

The official Weibo account of DaMi (a rice brand) released an announcement.

They acknowledged the responsibility of the rice brand in detail, while also blaming Qualcomm, because if it weren't for the Snapdragon 800... their ceramic back cover would have become a classic and a model for other manufacturers to imitate.

From then on, whenever anyone mentioned a phone with a ceramic back cover, the Xiaomi Note 3 would be mentioned... and then...

At the same time, Lei Jun also personally cooked a bowl of chicken soup and served it to his fans.

"First of all, I want to apologize to every customer who bought the Mi Note3."

Some batches of the Mi Note3 have a design flaw in their heat dissipation system, which can cause the device to overheat under high load, affecting the user experience.

This was a mistake on my part.

In order to let everyone experience the new product as soon as possible, we blindly believed what our partners said. At the same time, in order to be the first to launch, we shortened the heat dissipation testing cycle, which resulted in some problems not being discovered before the product was launched.

This is not just Qualcomm's fault, it's also my fault.

I know you chose the Mi Note 3 because you trust Mi.

You trusted Lei Jun to personally visit the master craftsmen in person; I'm sorry, I have let you down.

Therefore, we have decided that all Mi Note3 phones already sold, regardless of whether an overheating issue has been found, can be sent back to the factory for a free upgrade.

Meanwhile, the new batch will include heat dissipation copper pipes and other heat dissipation materials, resulting in a significant improvement in heat dissipation performance.

The free upgrade program starts tomorrow, with all shipping and repair costs covered by DaMi.

I have nothing else to say but "I'm sorry."

After the Weibo post was published, the comment section was filled with insults for the first few minutes.

But now the focus on rice is definitely on the crystallized powder produced through repeated purification, so the criticism has started to shift.

"I've finished cursing. But to be honest, Lei Jun still has a conscience for recalling 10 units so decisively."

When there's a problem, the manufacturers always pretend to be dead or shift the blame, but Lei Jun was the first to stand up and say it was my fault.

Based on this alone, I believe a free upgrade will definitely solve our problem.

"Having been screwed over by Qualcomm so many times, and still trusting them, Mr. Lei, are you out of your mind? Next time, can you at least do thorough testing before releasing anything?"

"The ceramic back cover is really beautiful. If the overheating issue is resolved after the upgrade, this phone will still be the most beautiful one this year."

Reps sat alone in his office, reading through the comments.

He reads and understands the criticisms directed at him, but seeing those who support him, he feels that targeting college students was the right choice for him. It's just a great pity that his competitors beat him to this strategy...

…………

After a period of back and forth, America finally decided... to try telepathy again.

So on October 1st, in the Deputy Press Conference Room of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Mary Smith took to the podium while being filmed by the cameras.

"The Ministry of Commerce is closely monitoring the end-use of the chip products from Transsion Technologies Inc.

According to relevant laws, the Ministry of Commerce has the authority to include companies that pose a national security risk on an unverifiable list. The investigation is currently underway, and the possibility of further escalation cannot be ruled out…

After saying this, Mary Smith quickly left the stage.

Unverifiable List: This is a watch list under enhanced scrutiny within the U.S. export control system, not a formal sanctions blacklist.

Originally, the targets here were foreign companies they wanted to investigate, but were unable to complete the end-use verification for various reasons.

But Transsion is a special case, since it has been on the sanctions list several times, but it has not been very effective... instead, it has caused the United States to suffer heavy losses.

But they couldn't leave it unattended, so after searching around, they finally settled on this charge.

When the news reached China, at 3 a.m. Beijing time, a new hashtag appeared on the trending topics list:

#Fourth round of US sanctions announced#

"Again? Does this happen every autumn, like your period?"

"The second and third times were useless. I thought he would follow the old Chinese saying, 'Once is enough, twice is enough, but not a third time,' but..."

The first three times he pulled out a lot of things, the third time he even pulled out an engine. What do you want him to pull out this time? A nuclear-powered phone?

"I suspect they have a professional mole within their Department of Commerce. Every time Transsion encounters a bottleneck in its R&D, the US imposes sanctions, and then the bottleneck is overcome..."

The following afternoon, at a routine press conference in China, the spokesperson was asked this question. After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"We firmly oppose the US abusing its national power, even if it's just baseless speculation."

The United States often uses national security as a pretext to engage in trade protectionism, which is blatant technological hegemony.

We will take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

At the same time, Shen Fei also posted a message on Weibo with a panda emoji as the caption.

A lazy panda is lounging with its legs crossed, accompanied by the caption: "Here we go again."

Shen Fei's main text consists of only a few sentences: "Every time we are sanctioned, we become stronger. This is the fourth time. Can't we change the script?"

They've pressured us to sell our food delivery assets, forced us to exit the market, and even frozen all our funds.

Let's skip the testing this time and just freeze all our assets and ban us from entering the American market.

By the way, is there any better reason I need to ask? It's urgent.

"Is President Shen treating the US sanctions as an annual performance review? [doge emoji]"

"U.S. Department of Commerce: Just you wait, I'm flipping through the tech bible, looking for a field you haven't yet broken into."

"Transsion has treated the US sanctions as a free win; every time the sanctions are lifted, Transsion's mobile phone sales surge."

"The funniest thing is that every time the US imposes sanctions, Transsion pulls out some amazing new products. Does Transsion have any new amazing products with the S5 this time?"

Shen Fei also personally responded: "The S5 is coming soon, and this time there are three major breakthroughs, and we are going to rewrite the form of mobile phone screens..."
