"QQ has truly hit rock bottom this time!" Huang He exclaimed upon seeing the news. Of course, the announcement wasn't just about shutting down QQ; there were plans to resettle QQ users.
Thus, Microsoft China immediately announced that all QQ users could use their accounts to log in directly.
Indeed, the King of Domestic Phones was the current title held by Tianxing phones. This wasn't due to having the highest sales domestically, but rather the highest prices among all phones in China. You couldn't even purchase one directly; you could only exchange for it using Jiangnan Coins, or by luck, pull one from a blind box.
Currently, a Tianxing phone privately fetched around 10,000 yuan, making it a price tier and category above flagship phones from international top brands like Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.
Although Tianxing phones couldn't compare to them in sales volume, the price of Tianxing phones remained remarkably stable within this range. Prices hadn't plummeted, and people were willing to pay the asking price for them.
This was because the performance and design of Tianxing phones were not significantly inferior to other brands' flagships. Beyond that, there was the inherent "European Emperor" (lucky) attribute of Tianxing phones.
Why were Tianxing phones said to possess the "European Emperor" attribute?
It was because the current production of Tianxing phones was extremely limited, and they could only be obtained through blind box draws or Jiangnan Coins.
The chance of winning the lottery in the blind box was 0.001%, or a 1 in 100,000 probability. If you managed to win, you were undoubtedly a true "European Emperor."
As for exchanging them for Jiangnan Coins, theoretically, you could directly exchange 8,000 yuan for 8,000 Jiangnan Coins to obtain a Tianxing phone.
However, as the popularity of Tianxing phones grew and production remained scarce, once a Tianxing phone was put on the exchange shelf, whether in physical stores or online stores, anyone who managed to snag one was undoubtedly an "European Emperor."
