Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 – Release of Star Series (Press Conference)

As the countdown on the stage screen ticked toward zero, the energy in the venue shifted.

Over a thousand attendees—media, influencers, developers, and fans—grew quiet in anticipation.

Then, as the clock hit 7:00 PM sharp, a white spotlight lit up the stage.

Liu Jianyu, wearing casual company attire and a nervous smile, stepped forward.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Liu Jianyu, product manager of the China Star Star Series."

He chuckled awkwardly.

"When I found out I'd be hosting this conference… I didn't want to."

"That's right—I refused."

"I've never hosted an event like this.

We've got way more qualified people at the company."

"But President Lu called me into his office and said:

'You've got the best face on the team. If you don't host this, you're wasting it.'"

Laughter erupted from the audience.

His nerves started to fade as the crowd warmed to him.

Liu Jianyu eased into the presentation.

"This launch is all about one thing: The Star Series.

China Star's first mass-market mobile phone line."

"A new name, a new standard—this is our most affordable series yet, and we're going all in on one idea:

Ultimate cost-effectiveness."

"Not just best hardware.

Not just a great OS.

We want this to feel like a flagship at a budget price."

Applause followed immediately.

⭐ Star Series – Value Positioning

On the screen behind him, the presentation flashed:

[ Strongest System at the Same Price Point ] [ Strongest Performance at the Same Price Point ]

The crowd responded loudly.

"China Star never misses!"

"The Star Series is here to kill the low-end market!"

"Let's go!"

Liu Jianyu pressed on:

"Now I know everyone's waiting for one thing—chip performance."

"The Q1 uses our Jinwu chip.

Not as graphically focused as Kunpeng, and not as raw-power-heavy as Zhulong."

"But performance? Smoother than you'd believe."

"The Jinwu was built with one purpose:

Extreme fluidity. Even on limited hardware."

He smirked.

"We designed a special algorithm that makes the Jinwu chip 'burn away' background clutter."

"Like the mythical Golden Crow named after, it clears junk files in real-time—keeping your phone smooth and responsive."

"You don't need to 'clear memory' or restart.

It handles everything automatically."

The room quieted as the benchmark app was loaded on the screen.

"Let's show you what the Q1 can do."

As the app ran, the score on the screen ticked rapidly upward.

100,000

200,000

300,000

434,000

The room froze.

This score was 10,000 points higher than any rival in its price range and comparable to high-end models from Apple and Samsung.

The Star Q1 had just become a flagship killer.

Applause erupted—people were on their feet, shouting, cheering, filming.

"434k?! That's insane!"

"That's higher than my work phone!"

"All hail Jinwu!"

"China Star does it again!"

📷 Camera & Battery Specs

Liu Jianyu continued, smiling now with full confidence.

"The Q1 also comes with a 2,400mAh battery,

an 8MP rear camera, and a 5MP front camera."

"Simple. Effective. Balanced."

He didn't oversell it—but the crowd was already sold.

The press conference went viral in real time. Clips were trending before it even ended.

All across China, people were saying the same thing:

"I'm getting one the moment it drops."
