People familiar with the technology circle know that Samsung and Apple have always been rivals, and they are invincible in the mobile phone market, laptop market and other fields.

"The four giants in China are dead this time! Even the powerful Apple will bow to our Samsung!"
"Are you all ready? Let's attend the funeral of the four giants in China tomorrow!"
All walks of life in South Korea are excited. In the past few months, Samsung has been criticized by the giants too badly. Its sales have dropped from the world's number one to the seventh place, which is a complete historical humiliation.
At the same time, the sky above China was shrouded in haze.
"Hey, this news has been circulating for a long time, and now it has finally been Thresh."
"It should be difficult for the four giants to deal with Samsung's hardware and Apple's software, right?"
"If I had known today, I wouldn't have provoked this war."
......
One hour after the joint announcement between Samsung and Apple was released, at 9:00 a.m. on July 15, Chinese time.
The four giants suddenly issued a joint notice, and a press conference will be held at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
The content of the press conference is that we also have some mysterious good things that we want to show you.
The whole world is completely in full swing now.
The announcement of the Big Four has too obvious accusation of Apple and Samsung. In a simple sentence, there is a bloody storm.
On the same day, at the same time, the six major players in the global mobile phone industry will hold press conferences at the same time?
This is the first time in history, and the two major camps are bound to attack the rhythm!
Apple, Samsung VS, the four domestic giants!
If the previous rounds and backs were the prelude to the war, then 7 o'clock tomorrow night will be the most tragic super battle in the entire war!
All the players from the six giants are on the field and fight!
All global technology enthusiasts were stunned at this moment. No one expected that the reply of the four giants was so hard, and they were completely a rhythm of pulling the ground and fighting to the end!
"It's amazing my four giants!"
"Don't be cowardly, just do it!"
"This is a huge battle, but what should I do if I have to work overtime tomorrow night?"
......
The two announcements were released before and after, as if two bombs were dropped around the world, shocking all news media around the world.
Associated Press, AFP, Reuters, Asahi Shimbun, CNN, BBC, ABC, Radio France Internationale, Peninsula...
All the news media that are numerous in this world have begun to pick up long guns and cannons and immediately concentrate on Seoul and Shenzhen Stock Exchange, not to mention new and self-media online, which have always been very sensitive to news events.
According to incomplete statistics, at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, there will be more than 4,000 TV stations and websites around the world, and will be broadcast live or broadcast, which is a unique grand occasion in history.
......
On July 15th, the peak showdown in the mobile phone industry had not yet begun, and the financial market was the first to usher in a bloody storm.
Major financial institutions around the world have teamed up to support the consortiums of Apple and Samsung, and have shorted the stocks of the Big Four and their supply chain companies.
For a time, A-shares and Hong Kong stocks staged a fierce long-short battle.
During the opening time, the stocks of the four giants and their related companies seemed to be riding a roller coaster, going up and down, and fighting fiercely at every important juncture.
Major financial institutions did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and the short-term financing interest rates in the bond market soared by more than 200 points. The transaction volume of betting contracts on the same day reached an astonishing 4.35 million lots, setting a record high.
At the same time, financial institutions that supported the four giants rushed to South Korea's KOSPI and the U.S. Nasdaq, and frantically shorted the stocks of Apple and Samsung.
In just thirty minutes, Apple's stock price fell sharply by 7%.
Subsequently, Wall Street began to make abnormal changes. The giant chaebol led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan began to buy Apple stocks without limits, and then pulled the stock price back.
As the closing price approached, super funds suddenly fell 3.47% and lost market value to nearly $40 billion.
"We don't know who the opponent is, but he is like a monster, extremely powerful."
After the stock market closed, news organizations said this when interviewing Jamie Dimon, President of ****.
News analysis said that Jamie Dimon was alluding to a country in East Asia that participated in the financial storm.
The reporter's in-depth investigation also showed that about a month ago, Opal, one of the four domestic giants, was in financial difficulties and was forced to cut all employees by 20%.
But soon afterwards, Opal suddenly received a large amount of mysterious funds and canceled the salary cut order. With a more crazy attitude, he joined the battle again and spent an astonishing amount of marketing funds around the world.
It is different from the practice of the crazy support of the entire South Korean people, nine banks and ten chaebols, who directly shout.
The mysterious power of a certain East Asian country is quietly intervening in this war, sending a large number of ammunition to the four domestic giants without attracting anyone's attention.
"In any case, this unprecedented peak showdown has really come. We believe that the war in the mobile phone industry is no longer just a battle within the industry, but has risen to the level of a national war!"
CNN News Network's famous host Cronkate said in his conclusion.
......
Seoul, Samsung Group Headquarters.
It was already late at night, but Samsung Prince Lee Jae-yong and Apple's head Cook were tired of it. They were still nervously preparing for every detail of tomorrow.
After all, this press conference was too important to them.
The two major super companies have emptied their own assets without reservation and devoted themselves to this war against the four domestic giants, and no one can afford to lose.
"It's another sixteenth day, this day is simply a vicious curse!" Prince Lee Jae-yong said hatefully.
Now every time he approaches the 16th day, he will suffer from insomnia and headaches. The four giants launched attacks on this day twice, causing Samsung to suffer heavy losses.
Cook smiled and patted Lee Jae-yong on the shoulder, "Lee, don't worry, I know those Chinese manufacturers very well. They are good at marketing, but in this world, it is far from enough to know only marketing. In the end, they have to speak based on their strength."
"With our two companies' accumulation in technology, I can't think of any countermeasures they can do."
