Chapter 127: is definitely not an illusion!

For some reason, the atmosphere in the top-tier trading department was much more tense than usual today; everyone seemed somewhat restless.
"President Su, the Jiangjin Group information you requested is ready!"
Liu Yang's hand trembled slightly as he handed over the documents.
Su Hao took the thick stack of documents and quickly flipped through them.
"It seems the market response to WoVi's Note 7 is truly phenomenal?"
He pointed to a line of data on the report and raised an eyebrow.
Liu Yang quickly added:
"Yes, President Su! Although WoVi phones aren't independently listed, they are a manufacturer invested and controlled by Jiangjin Group, and are the group's most important piece in its smart terminal strategy, one of its most important growth drivers for the next few years!
Furthermore, the Note 7's reputation is simply phenomenal! Pre-orders are piling up!
It just officially launched yesterday, and the first batch of user reviews are overwhelmingly positive, calling it a groundbreaking and amazing phone!
In terms of promotion, Jiangjin Group has repeatedly endorsed WoVi, emphasizing that it's a star product of Jiangjin Group's strategic investment, and the group's stock price has benefited greatly as a result, rising for several days in a row!"
The materials were all filled with major positive news about the WoVi Note 7.
Not only are domestic pre-orders incredibly popular, but overseas sales are also soaring, unstoppable.
If this momentum continues, WoVi phones will undoubtedly achieve phenomenal success, and Jiangjin Group's stock price will likely reach new highs, even driving the entire group's market capitalization to a new level.
'But why did my sister's brand-new Note 7 suddenly spark right in front of me and then tragically fail on the spot?'
Su Hao muttered to himself, 'Could it be... just an individual quality control issue with that phone?'
If he had known this would happen, he should have bought one a few days ago to examine it closely.
Unfortunately, the Note 7 is extremely hard to find now. For those who didn't pre-order, getting one is practically impossible.
'Ah! Mr. Su, I also got a Note 7 this time! Would you like to take a look?'
Just then, Li Huilin waved her newly acquired phone, smiling broadly.
The phone case was covered in cute cartoon stickers and sparkling rhinestones, clearly the result of a girl's meticulous decoration.
'Oh? Well... may I take a look?' Su Hao's heart skipped a beat.
'Of course! Please feel free to look around, Mr. Su!' Li Huilin generously handed over the phone.
Su Hao reached out to take it, but his movement froze mid-air.
He felt a little uneasy.
What if… what if it happened again, like with his sister's phone, a flash of light that destroyed Hui Lin's carefully decorated treasured phone? That would be a disaster.
'Stay calm! Take a deep breath! Be fully prepared!'
He carefully, as if holding a ticking time bomb, took the phone from Li Hui Lin's hand.
"...Hmm?"
Was he nervous for nothing?
The phone felt cool and smooth in his hand; there was nothing unusual.
'A false alarm?' He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
'Looks like I was overthinking it, or maybe that Note 7 from last time was just an isolated case, a complete accident.'
'Hey? Sister Huilin, you got a Note 7 too? What a coincidence, me too!'
Liu Bo, sitting next to me, also pulled out the same model phone from his pocket, its screen gleaming.
Wait, could it be…
'Liu Bo.'
Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
'Yes, Mr. Su! What are your orders?'
'Can I borrow your phone too?'
'Of course! Here you go!'
Liu Bo readily agreed, handing over his phone without hesitation.
*Snap!*
A spark, even stronger than the one he felt on his sister's phone last time, suddenly exploded!
A powerful electric current instantly coursed through Su Hao's body; it felt like being shoved hard with a stun gun, his scalp tingling!
"Holy crap!"
Even with Su Hao's exceptional composure, the sudden, powerful electric shock sent a shiver down his spine. His hand trembled, and his phone fell with a "thud" onto the thick carpeted conference room floor.
"Oops! I'm so sorry, Mr. Su. I've been using hand cream lately, so my hands are really slippery. I didn't hold it properly! It slipped!"
Liu Bo jumped in fright, frantically bending down to pick it up, apologizing repeatedly.
"No, no, no, I'm the one who should apologize. I didn't hold it properly."
Su Hao subtly rubbed his still slightly numb and trembling fingers, his gaze fixed on the Note 7 in Liu Bo's hand.
"The phone... is it alright?"
"Ah, it's fine, it's fine!" Liu Bo picked up the phone, carefully wiped it, and turned on the screen.
"See? It's perfectly fine! I put on a top-of-the-line tempered glass screen protector and a military-grade shockproof case. It's sturdy! It would be perfectly fine even if dropped from two meters high!"
Su Hao's eyes flickered.
Li Huilin's Note 7 was perfectly fine to his touch, as docile as a lamb.
But Liu Bo's phone—that strong electric shock and the fleeting, eerie spark—was definitely not an illusion!
Could it be that this Note 7 model has some kind of random defect?
The intensity and sensation of that electric current were several times stronger than the premonition of crisis he felt before the Zhongda Automobile "emission scandal" broke out!
He suppressed the lingering tingling sensation in his fingertips, and before the strange intuition dissipated, quickly focused his attention on the document on the table bearing the stock code of "Jiangjin Group."
"!!!!"
In that instant, the faint tingling sensation that was fading from his fingertips surged back into his body like a shot of adrenaline, even stronger than when he touched the phone!
He instantly understood!
There was no mistake! Absolutely no mistake!
'This latest batch of Note 7 phones... definitely has a problem! And a big problem!'
Although he couldn't determine the specific problem yet.
But the Note 7 in Liu Bo's hand, sparking like lightning, was definitely a "time bomb"!
Su Hao quickly reviewed in his mind the portfolio of funds that Fanghuan Investment had invested in various international markets.
Previously, he had always adopted a conservative, holding strategy.
Now it seems… the signal has arrived!
That long-lost, seemingly inexplicable throbbing sensation was throbbing in his temples!
It was like a desperate warning, urging him to take immediate, decisive action.
The time had come!
The seeds he had painstakingly sown had finally reached the harvest season!
“Immediately! Right now! Withdraw all the funds we've invested in Europe!”
