Recent reports indicated that ByteDance is collaborating with ZTE to jointly launch an AI phone, significantly increasing short-term capital attention, which saw a large rise of 13.94% yesterday, but today it experienced a notable pullback ▪ Fengyi Group plummeted 20.75%, with a trading volume of HKD 4 million, becoming one of the extreme performers in the market.
