36. Proof to Gree Intelligent Equipment Technology Research Institute and the other party responded:
This news has nothing to do with Gree, Gree did not cooperate with third parties.
In other words, the Gree at the conference is another Gree?
In fact, before this, many old and famous manufacturers have already passed or released blockchain mobile phones.
Huawei also suffered an oolong incident similar to Gree. In March 2018, Bloomberg reported that Huawei was working with a company named Sirin Labs to seek cooperation with the company's SIRIN OS operating system, thus enabling it to use its own mobile phone. Some blockchain applications and services were running on it. However, this message was denied by Huawei’s Vice President Yu Chengdong.
Of course, blockchain mobile phones do exist on the market today.
Changhong has launched the first Unicorn-based 'Changhong R8' Kirin blockchain mobile phone. According to a number of media reports: 'This phone is a new generation of blockchain mobile smart terminals, based on POW consensus algorithm, device fingerprinting technology, LBS location The service allows users to participate in the blockchain with a lower threshold, so that the mobile trust network has more and more decentralized nodes, providing the basis for the large-scale application of the mobile ecosystem.
However, this phone did not appear on Changhong's official website, nor was it sold on platforms like JD.com and Tmall.

The French brand candy mobile phone has cooperated with the Ether Fog Foundation and released the candy 'Genesis' blockchain mobile phone with the 'Mining' feature.
Although blockchain mobile phones actually exist, however, according to the product introduction of blockchain mobile phones currently available on the market, most of them are based on the technologies and concepts related to blockchain, but it is not clear that the actual link between the blockchain and mobile phones is The specific use of cell phone.
At present, it seems that many mobile phone manufacturers and brand parties are ignoring the popularity of the blockchain. Perhaps it is related to the most fundamental reason for the brand's existence. It wants to use the blockchain technology to achieve a brand premium.
More importantly, in recent days, smart phones have ushered in the winter, and big manufacturers have begun to look for new selling points that stimulate consumption. The China Institute of Information and Communications under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "Report on the Operation of the Domestic Mobile Phone Market in March 2018". :
In the first quarter of 2018, China's smartphone shipments totaled 81.37 million, a decrease of 26.1% year-on-year.
However, it is worth noting that although Gree mobile phone was also affected by the cold winter of smart phones, Gree quickly cleared up the relationship with the Oolong incident, indicating that Gree did not want to mix this blockchain mobile phone.
This may be related to the current uncertain prospects of the blockchain mobile phone market.
