At five o 'clock, the press conference was held on time.
More than seventy media outlets from all over the world gathered together to interview this hero company.
Most of them were from the American media. Now, the most frequently mentioned words on the American Internet and in the mouths of the residents were Monster Heavy Industries and the Colossus.
Therefore, several American media outlets carried out live Internet and television broadcasts.
The press conference began, and Kong Tao began with an opening speech.
"Good afternoon, friends from the press."
"Thank you for coming from all over the world to our beautiful Zhongyun City. I think what you want to know most about is our company, the huge engineering ship that is specially invested in and built for a large overseas project. "
"Then, let me introduce you to the specific situation of this Colossus."
The reporters below listened carefully. Kong Tao smiled and enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"The displacement of the Colossus is 70,000 tons, and the displacement at full load …"
After spending more than ten minutes introducing the basic situation of the Colossus and the industrial technology used in the rescue process, Kong Tao signaled that everyone could raise their hands to ask questions.
All the reporters at the scene raised their hands in an instant.
Kong Tao randomly selected one, and the reporter from an American media outlet quickly stood up with friendliness and gratitude in his eyes. "Excuse me, your company has become a hero in the eyes of the American people. Now, there may be thousands of Americans watching this press conference in front of the TV. "
"Can you tell us what your company's products are? I think the American people will be very interested."
This was a grateful media outlet that wanted to use their live Internet broadcast to advertise Monster Heavy Industries.
Kong Tao briefly introduced several civilian products of the company. When it came to the magic crystal mobile phone, the reporter looked very puzzled.
"Your company even produces mobile phones. Why have I never seen this model in the American market?"
"Because it is still under review." Kong Tao nodded and did not explain why the magic crystal mobile phone was restricted by the American government.
Several questions were asked in a row, and the reporters who were asked were very friendly. Especially the American media, they were polite and respectful, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Unfortunately, the friendly atmosphere came to an abrupt end when it was time for a reporter from a relatively well-known media outlet in the country to ask questions.
This media outlet was called Observation Information, and the reporter was a man with a slightly sharp forehead.
"Mr. Ye, your company did not hesitate to let dozens of crew members risk their lives to rescue the Sapphire yacht. Did you hope to win the favor of the United States through this action? So that the US government can lift the ban on your company's products? "
Ye Qing was also sitting on the podium. As soon as this question was asked, most of the media immediately swept their gazes over him.
What?
The US government actually banned Monster Heavy Industries' products?
No wonder he couldn't find Monster Heavy Industries' products in the American market.
However, this question was extremely sharp. If it weren't for Monster Heavy Industries, the hundreds of passengers on the Sapphire would have been buried at the bottom of the sea. Such a great rescue operation was described by this reporter as a speculative move that risked the lives of the crew for the benefit of the company.
This made the American media at the scene particularly indignant. They all looked at the reporter with serious and contemptuous eyes.
"Every rescue mission of the firefighters also risked their lives. This reporter, can you answer me, why did they do it?" An American reporter who was proficient in Chinese asked angrily.
The man with a sharp forehead didn't care about the hostile eyes and questions of his fellow American reporters.
Ye Qing raised his head and glanced at the reporter.
"If you were on that boat, I think you wouldn't ask this question."
The American reporters burst into laughter, and then Kong Tao asked the next reporter. This was also a domestic reporter, and he didn't expect his question to be as sharp.
"Mr. Ye, when you met with the US representative at noon, did you ask them to lift the ban on the market? We know that Monster Heavy Industries is in a lawsuit with Apple because of the patent issue of the magic crystal phone. Did you ask them to withdraw the lawsuit? "
"Next." Ye Qing smiled at the reporter and directly deprived him of the right to ask questions.
This time, Kong Tao learned to be smart. He immediately filtered out the small and medium-sized domestic media and chose the authoritative top ones.
But these reporters had achieved their goal. Many of the American media were broadcasting the press conference live. Many ordinary Americans already knew that Monster Heavy Industries was in a patent lawsuit with Apple, and that Monster Heavy Industries' products were banned in the United States.
Because of the time difference, it was still early in the morning in the United States, so most people chose to watch the live broadcast online. They had to wait until the various media outlets released the fixed news in the afternoon. Only then would the people watching the press conference welcome an explosion.
This was for sure. The more developed the country's living standards were, the easier it was to sympathize. In the powerful United States, there was almost no political news for the people to pay attention to. Naturally, those celebrities' entertainment and the people's lives became one of the topics they cared about.
Usually, a puppy in a mud pit could cause a heated discussion on the Internet, let alone hundreds of their compatriots who were in danger at sea.
These domestic reporters, who were paid by some companies, knew that the live broadcast was in the United States, and they wanted to lead the topic to the unfavorable image of Monster Heavy Industries.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the gratitude of the American people to Monster Heavy Industries.
When the reporters asked the questions, the American people who were watching the live broadcast did not care much about why Monster Heavy Industries was fighting a lawsuit with Apple, or why the government banned their products.
The brave and fearless Monster Heavy Industries gave them a good first impression. When they learned that Monster Heavy Industries was producing mobile phones, their curiosity immediately soared to the peak.
What a magical company. Not only could it produce industrial ships, but it could also make mobile phones.
What kind of mobile phone was it? A steel mobile phone stronger than Nokia?
Before the press conference was over, many users were posting on some popular forums.
"Where can I buy a mobile phone from Monster Heavy Industries? I just want to change my phone. If their products are good, I'll change my phone."
"I just checked the Internet. Monster Heavy Industries mobile phones seem to have a good reputation in Hua Xia. Where can I buy one?"
"I'm more curious about the functions of this phone. Samsung is exploding, Apple is the same, no innovation. I really want to change my phone. "
"You can't buy one. Didn't the reporter say that they were fighting a lawsuit with Apple and were banned by the United States?"
"Are you kidding? If you can buy drugs with money, why can't you buy a mobile phone? My neighbor is from Hua Xia. I asked him to bring me a mobile phone from Hua Xia the next time he comes back to China. Not for anything else, but to thank them for saving hundreds of our lives. "
