As soon as the warm-up video was released, the atmosphere in the venue became more formal.
Those who had not entered the venue entered one after another, and the venue was soon filled to the brim.
A gentle female voice informed everyone about the things to take note of, including the muting of mobile phones, the press conference would only take less than an hour, and asking everyone not to leave as much as possible. After the press conference, they could collect small gifts, and so on.
At the same time, it was also introduced that the press conference would be broadcasted live on the internet. There was a dedicated live broadcast room on the Waiwai Live Broadcast Platform for people to watch.
When it was almost 3 o 'clock, the lights were switched off. Chang You walked onto the stage amidst the warm applause.
"Hello everyone, I am Chang You."
"Thank you, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to Otto Technologies.
On behalf of all my colleagues at Otto Technologies, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone at E1's news conference! "
The audience burst into thunderous applause again.
Pei Qian switched on his cell phone, clicked on Waiwai Live-Stream, and found the live-stream of Otto Technologies' new product launch.
In the past year, the live-streaming business had developed rapidly. At this time last year, Waiwai Live-Streaming only had a few hundred thousand live-streaming users. But now, just one channel alone had tens of thousands of people watching.
The number of viewers in the live-stream of Otto Technologies' news conference was rather pitiful. Only twenty to thirty thousand people were watching, and most of them were probably digital enthusiasts.
"Hey, isn't this Director Chang? After destroying Hongcheng Technologies, which poor manufacturer did they bully? "
"Otto Technologies? I don't think I've heard this name before. "
"It's under Tengda. It's on TPDb. Have you seen Tomorrow is Beautiful?"
"That's still an inferior brand. I admit that Tengda is good at games, but it's only elementary school when it comes to cell phones. Let's wait and see who Chief Chang, the Porcelaino, is going to scam today. I'm guessing it's going to be Pineapple and Shenhua! "
"What are you talking about? Which local cell phone manufacturer isn't trying to scam Pineapple and Shenhua? I'm used to being beaten up daily. "
At the moment, the live broadcast room did not support bullet screen functions, but there was a chat box on the right side of the screen that allowed users to see the messages posted by netizens.
Clearly, Chang You's image at Hongcheng Technologies had left a deep impression on many digital enthusiasts. Everyone's focus was not on the phone itself, but on Chang You.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. He felt that he had a good eye for talent.
…
On the stage, Chang You briefly introduced Otto Technologies' past and present lives.
There was actually a lot to talk about here. For example, Otto Technologies was a subsidiary of Tengda Corporation and had an ambiguous relationship with Tomorrow is Beautiful.
However, Chang You did not explain in detail. He only said a few words because Boss Pei had emphasized that they had to control the length of the news conference.
Thus, Chang You decided to go straight to the point. He pressed the remote control, and four words instantly appeared on the big screen.
"Price segment!"
As soon as these four words appeared, the live audience instantly fell silent. The netizens in the live stream also left a bunch of question marks.
"Wait, didn't the live broadcast just start? What did I miss? "
"Did you miss two hours?"
"Is there something wrong with the powerpoint?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
According to the usual routine, the price segment should be the last segment!
He started by talking about the various functions of the cell phone and bragged about the advantages of the cell phone. The more important the advantages, the more he put them at the end.
After the audience's expectations for the cell phone reached its peak, he deliberately hinted to everyone that the cell phone was made of sufficient materials and of good quality so that everyone would guess the price. Finally, he put out a number that was lower than everyone's psychological expectations. Instantly, he received applause from the audience and comments that the cell phone smelled good.
Of course, there were also those who messed up. Once the price was announced, the audience would immediately comment that the cell phone was stinky. That would make the scene more awkward.
However, no matter what, the order could not be messed up!
I haven't even seen the shadow of this mobile phone, but the price has already been put out with a "duang" sound. What's going on?
Wouldn't that deprive everyone of the fun of guessing the price?
Chang You was already mentally prepared for this. Without another word, he pressed the remote control again. Four huge numbers appeared on the screen.
8199！
The live stream was silent. Question marks floated in the comments section of the live stream.
"Is Vice President Chang drunk today?"
"819, Thousand Yuan Machine, smells good!"
"Even Shenhua and Pineapple's flagship phones are not sold at this price, right? Who gave you the courage?! "
The audience in the live stream might not be as direct as the audience in the live stream, but their confused faces were filled with what they wanted to say.
Was this a joke?!
Mr. Chang, although you ruined Hongcheng Technologies, you shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, right?
Chang You was still unmoved. He continued, "Our Otto Technologies has a lot of experience.
There was no discount for the E1 cell phone, and there would not be any discounts in the future. Until the next generation of cell phones came out and the E1 cell phone was discontinued, the price would remain at 8,199 yuan. There would not be any changes. Of course, installments are not supported either. "
"Alright, everyone can start farming 'Stink' now."
The audience was silent, and the comments in the live broadcast room began to roll crazily.
Pei Qian was excited and agitated as he read the mocking comments in the live-stream.
This time, it was finally right. This was the feeling!
This is the effect I want!
Pei Qian could not help but want to give Chang You a thumbs-up.
Chang You's expression remained the same. Due to the limited time of the press conference, he did not dwell too much on the issue of the price. Instead, he moved on to the next segment.
"Next, let's talk about our stock."
“OTTO
The first batch of 1,000 units of E1 cell phones will be produced on a first come, first served basis. The delivery date for the second batch has not been confirmed yet. "
A picture appeared on the big screen. It was a picture of ROF Computer-Installation's warehouse in Jingzhou. A thousand Otto E1 cell phones were neatly stacked on one of the shelves.
E1 cell phones. Half of the shelves were empty.
It looked extremely shabby at first glance.
"Pfft."
A reporter from the technology media in the front row finally could not help but laugh out loud.
This press conference was too interesting!
In other companies' press conferences, they would say that they had enough stock after announcing the price and the audience would shout 'how fragrant'. Then, they would put up a picture of the warehouse full of stock.
Of course, in many cases, this was just a form of publicity. They would still run out of stock and put on a show. However, it was still necessary to express their stance and put on an act.
In the end, Otto Technologies was very unconventional. They had accurately calculated the number of stocks to four digits and only produced a thousand units!
What's more, they had specially emphasized this shabby number for fear that everyone would not know.
What? Was he playing hunger marketing?
Did Vice President Chang think that by setting a high price and setting a limited number, consumers would mindlessly snatch it?
Only five minutes had passed since the press conference, and the audience in the live-stream and venue had already changed their mentality from looking at their cell phones to watching the fun.
Someone in the audience shouted, "Good job, another one!"
"It's too cheap, buy it!"
"Rounding it up is equivalent to giving it away for free. Are we still human if we don't buy it?"
Everyone roared with laughter, and the atmosphere in the venue became lively.
Pei Qian had to admit that netizens were very good at finding fun.
After the introduction of the 'price' and 'stock' segments, the netizens' train of thought had changed from 'whoever is selling it is stupid' to 'if you can't afford it, just give it some value'. The originally serious atmosphere also became humorous.
Pei Qian was speechless.
I'm telling the truth. Why are you laughing?
Is it that funny?
Forget it, you can laugh all you want. As long as you don't fork out money, we'll be good friends.
Chang You smiled slightly and moved on to the next segment.
"Next, I'll introduce the advantages of this cell phone to everyone."
He gently pressed the remote control, and a picture appeared on the big screen.
Chang You, on the other hand, faced the audience. His lips moved rapidly as he recited the advertising slogan that he had memorized by heart.
"A truly good brand, a truly good cell phone. Welcome to the E1 cell phone launch conference of the high-end cell phone brand Otto Technologies' flagship product.

Chang You recited the long script in one breath. Apart from taking a short breath in between, he did not pause at all. The speed of his speech had reached the limit that an ordinary person's mind could keep up with.
After he was done, Chang You heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the audience.
He did not know where Boss Pei was sitting, but at that moment, he only wanted to say four words: fortunately, he did not fail!
He had memorized such a long script without missing a beat. What's more, it was very smooth; he did not get stuck at all!
The entire place was silent. Pei Qian's hand that was holding onto the mineral water bottle hung in the air, as if he had forgotten where to place it.
Chang You was a little discouraged. What was going on? Did his burden fall to the ground?
Why wasn't the audience cheering after he recited such a long script?
Seeing that the time was up, Chang You did not dare to delay any further. He pressed the remote control and said, "Alright, I've finished introducing the advantages. Next, let's talk about the disadvantages of this cell phone …"
The moment the screen switched, the audience erupted.
"Holy sh * t! What happened just now? "
"I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again!"
"Say it again! Cut it back!"
Many people in the audience were stunned when they heard the long script. They did not have time to react at all.
If this was in a crosstalk theater, the audience would have immediately cheered after Chang You finished his long script.
However, this was a hotel venue, a news conference!
How could the audience have imagined that Vice President Chang would suddenly say something like that while he was introducing the cell phone on stage?
That was why they only reacted now. The audience erupted!
Faced with the tsunami of shouts of "do it again", Chang You said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, our leader has given a strict order that this segment must be controlled within five minutes. Now that five minutes have passed, I have to continue with the next segment. Please understand."
The audience obviously did not believe such a ridiculous excuse.
"Don't talk nonsense! Why would the leader limit the time you can spend talking about the advantages of the cell phone? Is he sick? "
"Vice President Chang, don't mess around. It won't take you a few minutes to recite it again."
"That's right. Don't even think about getting away with it. Say it again!"
Chang You looked at the audience helplessly. He did not know where Boss Pei was.
I'm sorry, Boss Pei. I wanted to limit it to five minutes, but everyone wouldn't let me!
