Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 588 - 544: Unconventional Thinking
At that time, the reason he placed the order wasn't because he thought it was the same phone he was using.
If he had known that this phone was the same model as the Core phone he currently uses, he absolutely wouldn't have placed the order.
The reason he originally placed this order was solely because of his instincts acting up.
Because in his mind, as long as the Core Creation Mall listed a brand new phone, you just have to grab it.
Even if he doesn't use it, he can flip it for a high price.
Of course, for a die-hard Core phone fan like him, grabbing the latest phone means he will definitely keep it for himself rather than sell it to others, no matter how high the offer.
But it's worth mentioning that this guy isn't actually rich; he's just a programmer with a monthly salary of over 10,000 bucks.
Perhaps a monthly salary of over 10,000 sounds pretty high in regular places, but don't forget he's in Capital City!
In a place where the average monthly expense is beyond 5,000, a 10,000 salary is truly not that much.
And yet, when he saw that Core Creation Mall had listed a new phone, without hesitation, he chose to buy it, even with an extra 5,000 added on.
Even if for the next half month he has to eat buns and gnaw on pickled vegetables, he'd still choose to buy this phone.
The reason? He's simply too fond of Core phones.
"Damn! Lin Yi, what are you up to now? Same damn phone, are you looking to sell at double the price? Have you gone rogue? Have you been corrupted by evil money?"
While flipping through the phone in his hands, he couldn't help but mutter.
It's not just him; in many places within 300 kilometers of the Core Group, similar situations are playing out.
One after another, people excitedly tore open the packaging only to find they had a second-generation Core phone, their feelings almost identical.
Everyone is muttering whether Lin Yi has gone rogue or been corrupted by money.
However, given the large number of purchases, some individuals noticed an odd detail: after thoroughly inspecting the phone, they were stunned to find it lacked a charging port.
Yes, it had no charging port!
The previous two phone models had charging ports, and although wireless charging technology is now advanced, those two previous Core phones were equipped with charging ports.
The first to notice this was that young programmer.
After checking thoroughly, he indeed couldn't find a spot for charging.
Moreover, after discovering the phone lacked a charging port, he immediately checked the accessory box.
He discovered that there was no trace of a charger in the accessory box.
This made him think of a somewhat frustrating phone: the Apple phone.
Now, it's said that the Apple phone no longer provides chargers; you need to buy them separately.
Such behavior is seen as disgraceful.
"Oh Lin Yi, you truly have gone bad.
Looks like the nature of a merchant has slowly taken over your enthusiasm."
Mumbling, the young man couldn't help but shake his head.
In his mind, Lin Yi was now equated with those sneaky merchants.
Without finding a charger, he instantly thought that Lin Yi must be selling chargers separately to make a profit.
After grumbling a few words, the young man suddenly froze, then reacted, muttering in confusion:
"Huh? Doesn't seem right? It's not just lacking a charger; this phone doesn't even have a charging port. What's going on with this?"
After a moment of confusion, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he slapped his somewhat shiny forehead:
"Hey, I get it. This is the unique feature of this phone."
It's true; not only is the programmer's head shiny, but his thoughts are also pretty fast and clear.
Combining the lack of charger and charging port, he instantly guessed something.
"Damn it, Lin Yi, you're truly shrewd. It seems like you've added a wireless charging feature!
But just for this one feature, you really can't call it an upgrade!
Plus, adding this wireless feature, you actually want to add 5,000 bucks more, that's downright extortionate!
With that money, I could just buy a random wireless charger online for a hundred and eighty bucks, which would do the job just fine.
It's too deceitful, too damn deceitful."
Indeed, he hadn't thought inside this phone was years-worth of controlled nuclear fusion battery.
In his imagination, it's definitely like some other fruit phones, lacking innovation, shamelessly bringing back designs from years ago, then claiming it's the newest model, Fruit 13.
And in his view, the Core phone might also have reached an end.
In the absence of knowing how to innovate, they've added a wireless charging feature to the phone and announced it as the latest model.
Though this approach seems quite unprincipled and really despised, the young man knows that despite this, a bunch of consumers will surely continue buying.
Moreover, what's more important is that the missing charging port will become a bragging point for people.
After all, the only way to distinguish if it's a brand-new Core phone is this charging port.
Not only that, but this young man even thought of a new trend.
He believes it won't be long before there's a trend of blocking charging ports.
The users with second-generation Core phones will surely try all means to block that charging port to pretend it's the newest generation Core phone.
Must say, this guy's way of thinking is extraordinarily unique; even such ideas can pop up in his mind.
After figuring these out, the young man immediately placed the phone aside and picked up the user manual from the accessory box.
He did this because he still wasn't completely resigned; he held other expectations for this phone.
He intends to thoroughly study the manual to see if the upgrade this time really only added a wireless charging feature.
Or perhaps there's some hidden feature he hasn't discovered yet...

PS: Brothers, it's a new month, if you have tickets, please throw them at me. The data is really pitiful...
