May 13th, Sunday …
It was almost 3 PM. Pei Qian was drinking Coca Cola in his living room while playing games.
Suddenly, his cell phone's alarm rang. A memo appeared on the screen: "News conference".
Pei Qian immediately saved the game and used his cell phone to project it. He began to watch Otto Technologies' new news conference.
This time, they were going to release the smart fitness drying rack.
The venue was still the same old place, the banquet hall of the Oasis Four Seasons Hotel. It was not far from Pei Qian's residence.
However, Pei Qian did not go this time.
That was because Pei Qian felt that the problem with the success of E1 and G1 cell phone's news conferences might lie with him.
It seemed like something would always go wrong at the news conference every time he went to the venue?
Why don't I not go to the venue this time and try watching the live-stream at home?
Sometimes, he had to admit the existence of metaphysics.
He could guess the audience's reaction from the bullet screen comments even though he was not there.
At that moment, the news conference had yet to officially begin. The live-stream was given a wide-angle lens. The entire venue could be seen at a glance.
There was a huge line of artistic words on the big screen: Otto Technologies' new smart product!
There were a few keywords below: intelligent life, healthy life, convenient life, efficient life, and so on.
These keywords were the purpose of the smart product department of Otto Technologies. It was to combine artificial intelligence technology with digital products or other household products in daily life to bring customers a convenient, efficient, and healthy lifestyle.
He could not see the seats in the entire venue but he could guess that it was definitely full.
That was because the various technology media would be invited to every news conference. They would also select many loyal users in Jingzhou by giving them free tickets. Some die-hard fans of Tengda who lived nearby would even come because of its reputation. They would rather stand than watch it live.
What's more, the response at the news conference of E1 and G1 cell phones was very enthusiastic. The popularity of G1 cell phones had not completely passed. Now that another news conference was being held, everyone was looking forward to what kind of product Otto Technologies would bring to everyone this time.
The bullet screen comments in the live-stream had already begun discussing.
"Why isn't it starting yet?"
"There's no rush. Tengda's news conference has always been punctual. It's about to start."
"In any case, there's definitely no more or less time. It's exactly an hour. We won't be able to watch an extra minute even if we start early."
"I wonder what product will be released this time? A brand new smart product, most likely smart home appliances, right? "
"It's hard to say. Otto Technologies made something like the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine previously. I think with their style, they wouldn't make a rotten product like smart home appliances …"
"Who's the keynote speaker for this press conference? It couldn't be Jiang Yuan again, right? I don't have anything against him, but I really want to see President Chang! "
"I heard that President Chang is indeed in charge of this project, but I don't know if President Chang will personally give a speech on stage."
"Alright, alright, let's begin! It's President Chang! "
Chang You appeared on stage amidst the cheers of the bullet screen.
As expected, there was a warm round of applause and cheers.
Jiang Yuan's G1 cell phone news conference could be considered very successful. His slightly timid speaking style formed a sharp contrast with a cell phone product that boldly subverted tradition and used a large number of new technologies. However, in the end, his performance was still much worse than Chang You's.
Therefore, seeing Chang You return to the stage of the press conference after more than a year, everyone felt that it had been a long time since they last saw him.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Chang You."
"Welcome, everyone, to the press conference of Otto Technologies' new smart products. On behalf of all my colleagues in Otto Technologies, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for coming!"
It was still the same old opening remarks, but the atmosphere at the venue seemed especially warm this time.
Perhaps it was because they had lost Chang You that they knew how boring and boring the other news conferences were. That was why everyone cherished them.
Chang You was very touched.
The warm applause and cheers represented everyone's recognition of me!
Chang You had never enjoyed such treatment before he came to Tengda.
After coming to Tengda, not only did Otto Technologies gain a foothold in the digital circle, but he himself had also become a popular figure in the digital circle. He even had his own traffic. His Weibo account was rapidly gaining fans, and he had also gained a group of loyal fans.
All of this was obviously inseparable from Boss Pei's careful nurturing.
Chang You began to introduce the main topic of the news conference when the applause stopped.
"Many friends might be very curious why I'm not the main speaker at the G1 cell phone news conference."
"I have to start from the success of the E1 cell phone and the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine and the fact that I received the Outstanding Employee Award from Tengda …"
Chang You spoke with fervor and assurance. In a humorous manner, he recounted his experience of being eliminated in the first place.
From time to time, laughter would erupt from the venue.
"Was he transferred away because his work was too outstanding?"
"Is this the legendary first place elimination of Tengda?"
"I might have already known a lot of things through the grapevine, but I still find it very funny to hear Boss Chang say it in such a helpless tone. Hahahahaha …"
Of course, Chang You was speaking in a joking tone. The audience was also listening in a joking manner. Most of the discussions were also teasing and making fun of him.
He was transferred away because his work was too outstanding? How was that possible!
It must be because Boss Pei thought that Chang You was very capable, so he asked him to be in charge of developing new businesses!
In that case, the new smart product today might have a higher position in Boss Pei's heart than Otto Technologies' flagship G1 cell phone this year?
Many viewers could not help but make such guesses. They were filled with curiosity about what products were going to be released today.
Chang You began by explaining the changes in his position and the business changes of Otto Technologies during this period of time. What's more, he explained it rather concisely and did not take up too much time.
After all, Boss Pei had always had a very clear requirement for the time of the news conference. It could not exceed an hour.
The main show had to be left for later.
Chang You pressed the remote control, and four words appeared on the big screen.
'Price segment'!
The audience seemed to have been looking forward to it. They could not help but burst into laughter.
The audience in the live-stream also looked like they had finally gotten what they wanted and felt comfortable.
"Hahahaha, it's here, it's here. Traditional skills, set the price first!"
"I missed another two hours!"
"This time, it's even worse than the E1 cell phone. At least we knew that it was a cell phone that time. This time, we don't even know what the product is, but we've already set the price. Are you asking us to guess what it is based on the price?"
There was a relaxed and humorous atmosphere everywhere.
After all, the product was secondary in this news conference. The key was still to see Boss Chang's performance.
Pei Qian could not help but break out in cold sweat when he saw how explosive the atmosphere was.
He didn't f * cking say anything!
He could only hope that everyone would be disappointed when they saw the product.
Chang You pressed the remote control again, and four huge numbers appeared on the screen.
“4999”！
He even specially explained, "Actually, we're under a lot of pressure when we set this price. That's because the research and development costs and material costs of all aspects are combined. This price is a relatively extreme price."
"This price might decrease due to subsidies for a long time to come, but it will only decrease by 200 yuan at most."
The price of 5,000 yuan was set from the beginning. In fact, there was some profit margin for this price, but it was very small. The fitness equipment was all made of iron after all. Reliability and safety had to be guaranteed. The cost of the raw materials alone could not be controlled.
What's more, the smart fitness drying rack still had the design, artificial intelligence chips, and the development cost of Fitness Battle.
Of course, the Fitness Battle game itself could also earn money to recover. It might even become a huge profit. That was why the smart fitness drying rack could reduce the price to such an extent.
The audience and the bullet screen viewers began to discuss.
"5,000 yuan? It looks like a big deal! "
"What could it be? High-end sound system? Washing machine? Refrigerator? Air-conditioner? "
"These don't have much to do with intelligence, right? I think it might be a television. It happens to be related to Tengda's game business. "
"It could also be a cleaning robot?"
All sorts of bullet screen comments floated past in the live-stream. There were all sorts of guesses, but no one really guessed it.
That was normal. Who could have guessed something as strange as the "smart fitness drying rack"?
There were only a few types of smart home products now. Refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and other home products were more practical. They were basically the world of traditional enterprises. It might not be easy to use even if they had the halo of "intelligence". There were quite a lot of cleaning robots, televisions, and other products. The possibility was slightly higher.
However, this price of 5,000 yuan made many guesses less reasonable.
For example, the cleaning robot would only be worth 3,000 yuan at most. It was a little unbelievable and unrealistic to sell it for 5,000 yuan.
Everyone made their own guesses, but none of them were able to figure it out.
What's more, some old fans could vaguely sense that things were not that simple.
Everyone was guessing conventional products. Did Otto Technologies look like a manufacturer that knew how to make conventional products?
Their brain circuits were not something that ordinary people could think of. After all, the last product was a "Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine". Wouldn't it be very disappointing if they released a conventional product this time?
Chang You pressed the remote control again. A long, wide, and tall diagram appeared on the screen: 2.1 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, 2.1 meters tall. It took up an area of 3 square meters and weighed a total of 218 kilograms.
This diagram did not draw the exact shape of the smart fitness drying rack. It only used some dotted lines to mark the size and parameters it needed to occupy.
Everyone was stunned again.
