"Dong dong dong dong dong ~"
Exciting music began to play.
The smoke machine at the edge of the stage puffed out a row of smoke.
A young man in a long-sleeved white shirt and jeans walked up the stage with a straight posture and vigorous steps. He faced the audience.
…
"Ah!" Countless female audience members screamed.
"What the f * ck!" Countless male audience members ridiculed.
Somewhere in the corner of the stage.
Zhen Ker Shin was completely stunned.
Her cherry-like mouth formed an "O" shape.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"It's … it's you.
The big boss of the company … is you? "
"Ah!!"
She screamed and covered her red face with both hands. "It's over, I'm going to be fired. I can't do this anymore. I've been treating the boss of the company as CEO Ling's assistant … I'm dead. Zhen Ker Shin, you're finished. You have no face to stay here anymore. Pack your things and leave tomorrow!"
Liang Ying, the vice president, found her performance funny. She thought to herself, It's the boss who told us to hide it from you. Little girl, you're too naive.
…
The entire launch lasted for about an hour. It went very smoothly.
The smooth delivery of the handsome CEO.
The powerful functions of the intelligent learning machine.
And the occasional high-pitched screams from the female audience.
Multiple live streaming platforms had a maximum of more than 6 million people watching at the same time.
This launch could be described as a huge success.
After introducing the various functions of the Little Star learning machine.
Chen Jin began to announce its price.
"So … how much is it selling for?"
"After some discussion, the final price is $5,888!"
5888！
This price was totally worthy of being called a "friend price."
Of course, the hardware cost of the Little Star First Gen was not high. The 4 + 64g configuration version, a cheap CPU, and a self-developed AI chip allowed the overall hardware cost to be less than $1,500. With a price of $5,888, the net profit margin of the hardware could reach more than 30%.
However, the research and development cost of this learning machine exceeded $5 billion.
Splitting the research and development cost evenly, the 5 million units of Little Star First Gen could only be said to have "recovered the cost and made a substantial profit."
However, Chen Jin thought that, at a time when no one understood the intelligent learning machine, the price of the first product would be so high that many users would be deterred from buying it. As a result, the power of the Little Star learning machine would not be known by all levels of consumers.
It would not do to only do business for a small number of people. Xing Hai Technologies would not serve a small number of people!
Xing Hai Technologies wanted to take over the entire market and change the entire Z nation.
Therefore, the purpose of "Little Star First Gen" setting the price at 5888 was to make a name for itself and the product's reputation.
When the more advanced and smarter "Little Star Second Gen" was launched, it would be an insult to the capabilities of this product if it was priced below 10,000!
…
After the press conference.
The internet was in a frenzy.
On Weibo and other social media platforms, netizens were discussing heatedly.
But what was surprising was that this kind of discussion was clearly divided into two directions.
The reactions of female netizens were:
"Oh my god, handsome, really too handsome!"
"My Prince Charming has appeared, my husband has appeared!"
"25 years old, handsome, rich, and single … No one can steal my husband!"
"I thought the novels were all fake. I didn't expect there to be such a domineering president in reality."
"It's too early, marrying is too early. Tears fall from the eyes of the bright pearl, wishing that we could meet before we were married!"
"I'm not a fan of those little fresh meats anymore. My husband is more handsome."
In Yuan Lin's WeChat Moments, countless messages from her friends and best friends almost made her phone crash.
"Sister Lin Lin, I'm begging you, can you give me your contact?"
"Lin Lin, we've been in the same class since kindergarten. We've been sisters for more than 20 years!"
"Lin Lin, I'm begging you, can I transfer 100,000 to you? I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. "
"Yuan Lin, do you remember what you said before? We'll share blessings and misfortunes together. Have you forgotten this?"
"Yuan Lin! This is the last time, don't force me! I can do anything! "
"Crazy!" Yuan Lin was very angry. She blacklisted more than half of her friends on WeChat Moments.
…
The reactions of male netizens were all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Damn, I'm still studying in school at the age of 25."
"He's rich and handsome, can't you leave me a way out?"
"I've suffered 10,000 tons of damage!"
"Sigh, compared to him, I've lived my life like a dog at this age."
The focus of the netizens' discussion was mainly on the young boss of Xing Hai Technologies.
Only a few professionals discussed the Little Star learning machine. They came to a unanimous conclusion: this was a pretty good learning machine product!
…
The next morning.
Chen Jin, who was sleeping soundly, received a phone call.
It was from the marketing manager, Li Yuan Liang.
He said in a panic, "President Chen, bad news! Some lawbreakers are madly tarnishing your image! "
What?
Chen Jin climbed out of bed, turned on his computer, and logged into Weibo. He finally understood what Li Yuan Liang meant by "tarnishing".
Emoticons.
Emoticons that were flooding countless Weibo comments and spreading in QQ groups.
They were all emoticons made with his image or the Little Star learning machine.
For example, there was a pandaren holding a Little Star learning machine with the words: "Quiet! You're disturbing me from using the Little Star learning machine! "
There was a screenshot of him hosting the press conference: "Little Star, do you know what 1 + 3 equals?"
After a question was answered, the Little Star learning machine said: "Correct, you're the smartest baby in the world!"
There was a classic advertising slogan: "Mommy doesn't have to worry about my studies anymore."
Some meddlesome netizens even gave him a nickname: "Smart Baby." It was becoming a meme known by countless netizens.
There were also countless similar emoticons, almost ruining his glorious image.
Li Yuan Liang said angrily, "President Chen, call the police, we must call the police! Ask the police to arrest all those people who tarnished your image. This is too infuriating! "
"There's no need."
Chen Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head. "They're just making a harmless joke. As long as they don't go overboard, let them be."
"Let them be? President Chen, are you just going to let them tarnish your image like that? "
"What else can I do if I don't let them be? If I really let the police arrest those nosy people, will the netizens praise me for doing a good job or criticize me for being petty? Forget it, as long as they're not maliciously tarnishing my image, let them be. "
This was the consequence of becoming a public figure. Chen Jin had once asked Brother Lei what he thought of his concert. Brother Lei said that of course he felt a little disgusted, but it also made Da Mi famous. There were good and bad things, so he didn't care.
"Alright, President Chen, we'll keep an eye on the reaction on the internet. If there are any excessive pictures, call the police immediately!"
Li Yuan Liang said unwillingly.
…
He hung up the phone.
Moving the mouse, Chen Jin looked at the emoticons that flooded the screen again.
F * ck!
They're all geniuses!
His forehead was full of black lines. He had the urge to take a knife and hack someone.
But in the end, there was nothing he could do.
He, who was spoiled by the netizens, also realized his mistake.
"Little Star First Gen is just a learning machine for primary school students. The main users are primary school students, not those mainstream netizens.
At the press conference, we should invite all the uncles and aunties in their thirties and forties, as well as some teachers and educators.
There's no need for a live broadcast. Young people won't buy this thing anyway. What's the point of attracting their attention? "
