Chapter 203: Advancement

On the other hand, Sky technologies was the one that had made the biggest move.

Considering that it was focusing on technology, it was inevitable that the market that it could influence was not just restricted within the Eastern province.

Even before Michael took over Sky Technologies, they had already managed to get some shares of the central province’s market. And after he took over, with his plan in motion, things got even better.

With the quality of the products released by Sky Technologies improving, and the cost being affordable, it was inevitable that many people would start trusting the products from Sky Technologies.

As a result, even though Sky Technologies could not compare to those long established giants, but it could give them competition in some ways.

And recently, within just 2 weeks, they had released a total of three different products. The first one was obviously the translator.

That was found to be quite useful, but it was inevitable that not everybody would need it. But, that was enough to be able to test the market, to see how things would go.

And during the previous week, the final week of August, Sky Technologies launched two products at the same time. One of them was an advanced version of a phone, with much more advanced features than the best phone in the market.

It was a type of phone that was incredible in terms of features and performance at the same time. As for the cost, it was not expensive either, affordable to quite a high number of the consumers.

The phone featured a high-end 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and strong brightness efficiency. It ran on a next-generation processor capable of handling intensive multitasking and on-device AI smoothly.

It came with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB internal storage. The camera system included a 108 MP main sensor, supported by a 12 MP ultra-wide and 12 MP telephoto, with advanced low-light processing and 4K video at 60 fps.

Power was supplied by a 5,500 mAh battery, offering all-day heavy use and fast wired and wireless charging. Connectivity supported modern 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth standards, with enhanced security through biometrics and intelligent behavior detection.

When it came to pricing of the phone, Michael had instructed Adrian to consider only manufacturing, components, assembly, logistics, and supply costs. As a result, the market price settled at $650 to $750.

As for the second item, it was a power bank. This power bank was very advanced. It was something that was currently shaking waves in the technological world.

This new power bank by Sky Technologies was very advanced, to the extent that the moment that it was launched, many people thought that it was just a scam.

After all, the features that it possessed seemed very unrealistic. Quite a number of companies had already tried producing high level power banks, but none of them had succeeded to create the best ones.

The power bank from Sky Technologies could easily rest in the hand, lighter than one would expect for a device with such energy.

The 120,000 mAh battery inside could keep multiple phones, tablets, and even small laptops running for days on end, and yet the device remained compact, roughly the size of a standard tablet.

Of course, the battery capacity completely matched the amount of energy that was stored, unlike some power banks from before that usually were said to have high capacities, but could not carry enough energy to match the capacity mentioned.

This power bank drew power intelligently, automatically balancing output across several ports, while a built-in wireless pad delivered fast charging to compatible devices without a cable.

The internal design kept it cool and stable under heavy loads, eliminating the heat and inefficiency that plagued earlier high-capacity models. Optional modular attachments expanded its functions, from a detachable LED floodlight to solar recharge adapters, making it useful in travel or emergency scenarios.

It could go anywhere without concern, bypassing airline restrictions or safety limits that would ground conventional 100,000 mAh banks.

All this advanced capability, built from efficient components and optimized supply, was sold at a market price of around $375.

Unlike the portable translator, which did not raise that much waves, the phone and the power bank caused a big storm.

First of all, the two products were launched consecutively. Just researching one of them, it was something that could take quite a lot of time and effort, not to mention the capital that was involved in the research itself.

Secondly, the issue about the production of those phones was about the technology that was involved.

Most people believed that it was impossible for Sky Technologies to possess the technology required for the production of the phone and power bank.

And in reality, that was the case. After all, Sky technologies was just a technological company but was considered a giant within the eastern province. But if compared to the entire nation or even the world, it was negligible.

This was the reason why, most people believe that all this was just a sham. But even then, the disbelief was replaced by amazement, and even more disbelief.

After all, after the launching of the products, they had to be released to the market. And those that managed to get them, they tested them out, only to realize that all the features that had been listed about those products were actually just as they had stated in the description.

Nothing was exaggerated at all, making many people amazed. But this was something that raised even more questions.

Those giants in the technology industry had already managed to get their hands on the two products. They began researching on them, only to realize that they could not try to access the internal components of the phone or the power bank, in order to research on them.

The moment that the phone or the power bank was dismantled, it would immediately self-destruct, in such a way that it would not hurt in one, but everything regarding the technology used would be lost.

This had left those giants feeling helpless, as they began thinking of other methods that they could use in order to be able to get the technology used in the production of the two devices.

Of course, Michael was aware that within just a few days, several employees of Sky Technologies had already been approached. It was clear, those giant companies wanted to poach them.

Unfortunately, the employees of Sky Technologies were not tempted by the offers from those giant companies. They could already see that the future of sky technologies was much brighter.

As compared to those benefits that they would receive in order to reveal the secrets of Sky Technologies, it was better to stay within the company. After all, has more and more products were launched, the benefits that they would receive later on would be much higher.

Additionally, neither of them was an idiot. They could tell that the background of the owner of Sky Technologies was not simple. Neither of them was willing to risk offending such a person.

The crucial point was that, they really did not possess that much information on the core technology that was used in the production of the two devices.

After all, those things were actually the work of Adrian and Lucas. The two of them had studied the particular information of those fields, and with expert level skills, they were able to produce advanced components.

In fact, they could do even better, but Michael had told them not to do something that would immediately attract the attention of the government.

If they ended up revealing technology that was way beyond what was acceptable in the current era, it was inevitable that the government would get involved.

While he was not afraid of the government, Michael was not willing to engage with the government in unnecessary fight. He did not like trouble.

As a result, he thought, he would just start by building an empire first, before allowing the empire to grow by itself later on.

Regardless, currently, Michael understood that many eyes had already been drawn towards Sky Technologies. But, for the time being, Michael was not that much concerned.

With the capabilities that Onyx had, involving Adrian and Lucas, it would not be a problem for Sky Technologies to be able to deal with the prying eyes that were set on them.

On the other hand, the launching of the two products had led to quite some benefits for Sky Technologies.

First of all, it was the exposure, making it that people from different provinces and even other nations came to know about the presence of Sky Technologies.

This would make it so that the launching of new products by Sky Technologies would attract much more attention, thus the launching would be much more successful.

Secondly, quite a number of companies and corporations had already come in for collaborations. Even though Michael did not like having others influence what he was doing, he could still give others chances.

As a result, for the suppliers, the large scale production of the two devices and so on, he did not acquire any companies for that.

Instead, he allowed other companies to cooperate with Sky Technologies, making things quite efficient. Of course, what involved the external companies was not something that could affect sky technologies at all.

The main components of the two devices were manufactured by a factory that was set up by Adrian, making it that the secrets of the two devices were not leaked.

…

The present…

As Michael was contemplating about the events that had happened while he was secluded in the villa, earning SP, Adrian suddenly came in.

He was coming from Sky Technologies, as currently, there was quite a busy schedule for him.

“Michael, there is something that needs your attention.” Adrian stated as soon as he entered the living room of the villa.
