217: Chapter 217 The mobile phone industry war has come to an end, and Guanghui Technology has officially reached the top of the world.

Lu Li had been lying in his chair looking at his phone, but after she slapped it, he slowly raised his eyelids.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Shuyu was so angry she almost laughed. "Our backend has received a massive number of AI anomaly warnings from dorami!"

"It's one thing if someone puts strange clothes on the cat Robot, but there's some psycho furry fetishist who actually tried to perform unspeakable physical modifications on dorami!"

By the time she finished, she couldn't continue, her ears turning red.

"Fortunately, the Robot's anti-tamper program triggered an alarm and shut it down, otherwise I don't even dare to imagine what kind of mess it would have turned into!"

Lu Li: "..."

He was silent for two seconds, then raised his hand to rub his temples, at a rare loss for words.

The limits of humanity truly are exposed quite thoroughly in the face of technology.

In reality, there are people who can do strange things to motorcycles, plastic mannequins, lizards, and even all sorts of outrageous objects, so developing improper thoughts about advanced Robots with top-tier tactile feedback doesn't seem entirely incomprehensible.

But understanding is one thing. It is truly outrageous.

They had already released a line of realistic companion Robots, yet people were still setting their sights on cat-type Robots like dorami.

This isn't just having unique tastes. It's purely a mental problem.

He casually flipped through two pages of work orders, his expression becoming more subtle the more he read.

[dorami has filed a behavioral complaint against its owner.]

[The user has engaged in abnormal contact behavior with this Robot for an extended period, triggering a Tier 3 boundary alert.]

[A user with furry fetish tendencies has repeatedly modified dorami's clothing parameters and attempted to bypass intimacy threshold restrictions.]

[The Robot has submitted a psychological discomfort report and recommends a forced disconnection.]

The office was silent for a few seconds. Finally, Lu Li spoke calmly:

"Permanently ban those accounts."

"Hardware lock them."

"Got it." Chen Shuyu rolled her eyes, finally feeling the frustration in her chest ease a little. "I was planning to do the same."

She paused, then pulled out another report, her tone finally becoming much more serious.

"Additionally, the global sales of the Doraemon Robot series have exceeded 1.5 billion units."

"Although the EU and the United States have bans in place, grey market goods are flooding the market. Because the users there bought smuggled goods, they can't get them repaired if they break, so now they're on Twitter every day cursing us for not providing cross-border after-sales service."

Lu Li didn't even look up, his voice very cold.

"Then issue an announcement."

"Any products that have entered countries with bans will be considered illegal contraband, and Guanghui Technology will not provide any form of official after-sales service."

"If the machines break, tell them to go find President Trump to fix them."

Chen Shuyu's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's good."

"Ruthless enough, I like it."

Having said that, she felt a bit lighter, clutching the documents as she turned and walked out, clearly unable to wait to get that announcement posted.

She didn't notice that, as the CEO of the Robot Company, whenever she encountered a problem, she still subconsciously wanted to ask for Lu Li's opinion.

After she left, the office became quiet again. Lu Li leaned back in his chair and habitually pulled up the global data page for the mobile phone industry.

After reading it, the emotion on his face actually faded. Because in this area, there was no longer any suspense.

Guanghui Mobile, whether in global sales or overall revenue, had completely surpassed Apple. It wasn't a short-term hit. It wasn't a regional upset. And it certainly wasn't due to the luck of one or two product generations. It was a summit reached in every sense of the word.

That industry throne, once looked up to by countless people, had finally been kicked down.

With the dual crushing force of hardware and software ecosystems, the war in another dimension had actually ended quietly. Guanghui Technology had won.

Meanwhile, in the villa, Su Qingxue took off her Virtual Helmet, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and watched the lights of Mingzhu City at night, remaining motionless for a long time.

She suddenly realized that life now was completely different from a few years ago. Shopping on Taobao didn't require getting up. Hotels could switch scenes at any time. Cities were starting to have intelligent security. Dining, retail, medical consultations, and entertainment had all been rewritten.

Mobile phones, Virtual Helmets, Robots, air imaging, virtual games, smart cities... even the way people worked had begun to change.

Guanghui Technology was currently trying to promote virtual offices. It wasn't traditional video conferencing. Instead, it involved putting on a Virtual Helmet and entering a virtual company scene directly to hold meetings, collaborate, discuss, and approve documents.

Employees didn't need to go out and could stay home with their families without affecting work efficiency. In a sense, it would even increase their sense of belonging and happiness.

She hadn't gone to the company today. Many meetings, documents, and internal communications were completed in the villa. Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be pushed too fast. It had to be tested bit by bit. Let Guanghui Technology run it successfully first, then slowly expand it outward.

After the last online meeting ended, Tencent was clearly interested. After all, this kind of "online work" model was novel enough and had enough of a gimmick.

Furthermore, Tencent was now firmly under the control of Guanghui Technology within the Virtual Helmet platform ecosystem, basically becoming Guanghui Technology's most obedient number one lackey.

Everything was changing too fast. So fast that it felt like someone had forcibly pushed the entire world forward by decades.

And that person was currently leaning back on the sofa, reading those outrageous complaints in the backend while disliking how good humans were at causing trouble.

Just then, Chen Shuyu sent a string of voice messages. The first few were still cursing the people online who were stirring up trouble, but the later ones had turned into:

"Also, the International Chip Exchange Summit is urging us again!"

"And the news from above, the 5nm Lithography Machine is completely stable!"

"When are you actually going to check your email, Lu Li!"

After listening, Su Qingxue turned to look at Lu Li. Lu Li put his phone face down, leaned back on the sofa, and the corners of his lips lifted very slightly.

The storm online about "Robots stealing jobs" hadn't subsided yet. Supporters and skeptics were already clashing head-on. But he never intended to rush into the fray from the very beginning.

Because he knew this was only the surface. The things truly pressing down were already becoming increasingly heavy.

Nuclear Fusion test site success. National 5nm Lithography Machine completed. Anti-gravity Vehicle advancement. International Chip Exchange Summit invitation. These matters were each heavier and bigger than the last.

So big that the phrase "winning an industry" already seemed too small.

Su Qingxue stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching this world that had been quietly pushed to the edge of another era by Lu Li, her heart burning with heat.

Chen Shuyu was still worrying about public opinion for him. But Lu Li just glanced at those messages, his expression lazy, as if he didn't take those waves of public opinion to heart at all.

Of course he knew that the game ahead was no longer about winning an industry. It was about rewriting the rules of the entire world.
