Chapter 058: The Underworld Product Launch Conference 2
Soon, the door to the venue opened and people entered.
The media's seats were all in the front row, and these reporters walked straight to the front.
At present, the venue is brightly lit, but the specific layout cannot be seen yet, because the different layouts are realized through holographic projection and various enhancements. These effects can only be seen before the press conference officially starts.
Otherwise, it would be too extravagant and unrealistic to redecorate the place for every press conference.
Everyone took their seats, and saw that the left and right sides of the stage in front of them were covered with cloth with something similar to a Mewtwo game cabin, keeping the suspense of the new product until the last moment.
The media reporters didn't think much about it and just waited patiently for the press conference to begin.
…
At the same time, Chen She, as the keynote speaker of this press conference, was preparing backstage.
Because of his strong mental strength, Chen She could remember all the lines he was going to say in his mind. He could also think carefully before speaking on the spot, so he didn't worry about getting stuck.
On the contrary, Zhao Zhen, who has always been mature and steady, was a little nervous.
After all, the shackle bracelets and the coffin-opening game cabin are the first step for the entire Chen Group to transform from basic OEM to independent research and development. Whether this step can be taken well will directly determine the direction of the entire manufacturing industry in the future.
Judging from the current situation, it can't be said to be going smoothly.
Although the appearance of the bracelet and the game cabin is full of rich connotations, it must be said that from the perspective of ordinary people, the shape is a bit too dark. The layout of the press conference site has greatly strengthened this feeling.
Now we can only hope for Mr. Chen’s eloquence and the magical changes he made to the batch of chips and communication modules.
Chen She looked at the time on his bracelet and said, "It's almost time, let's get started."
Zhao Zhen clicked a few times on the backstage equipment, and the lights in the press conference gradually dimmed, revealing a holographic projection of the theme of the press conference and special lighting effects.
…
Everyone in the conference hall was still talking and laughing, waiting for the conference to begin.
At this moment, the surrounding lights gradually dimmed. The venue gradually became quiet, and everyone looked towards the main stage in front of them, waiting for the speaker to appear.
But the speaker did not show up immediately.
Instead, a blazing fire suddenly appeared in the huge open space in the center of the venue. The fire spread and eventually spread to the entire conference venue.
As the fire in the center grew more and more intense, a huge coffin was reflected in the darkness.
Then there was a dong sound from the speakers at the scene, as if someone was knocking on the coffin lid from the inside out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The knocking sounds became more and more frequent, and finally the coffin lid was opened. A skinny hand stretched out of the coffin and reached upwards desperately.
There was a pair of heavy shackles on the wrist, which seemed to have deformed the wrist.
But even so, it still stretched hard into the air.
Then the blazing flames, like a huge fire lotus, enveloped the entire coffin. The hand seemed to be melting as the fire lotus burned, and a lot of wax-like substances slowly dripped from the arm.
The hand kept reaching upwards, trying to touch the light above, but eventually it froze in this position and no longer moved.
The flames and other elements in the holographic image also fell into a state of stillness, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Then the lights on the stage came on, and Chen She walked onto the stage and said enthusiastically to all the media reporters and audiences below the stage: "Hello everyone, welcome to the new product launch of Lishan Technology. I am the host of this event, Chen She, the president of Lishan Technology."
"On behalf of all the staff of Lishan Technology, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone!"
According to the normal plot, when Chen She said this, there should be thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
In fact, Zhao Zhen did arrange an atmosphere group, who were responsible for leading everyone to applaud and cheer when he went on stage and explained the products.
But after Chen She finished his passionate opening remarks, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
The members of the atmosphere group, who were originally prepared to lead the applause and cheers, stared at the hands raised on the stage in amazement, forgetting what they were supposed to do.
Several reporters from technology media in the front row were so shocked by this hellish opening that they were completely speechless.
After a few seconds, sparse applause and low-pitched discussions were heard from the audience.
"What the hell, what's going on?"
"I'm stunned. Is this a large-scale performance art scene or a modern funeral?"
"It can be any scene, but it shouldn't be the scene of a new product launch conference..."
"What's that in the middle? A man is pushing open the coffin and reaching out his hand. I don't understand."
"The address is correct. It's the site of Lishan Technology's new product launch, but the style of the painting feels a little off."
"Today doesn't seem to be April Fools' Day, it's already the end of April!"
Everyone at the scene was completely shocked by this opening, because they had never seen this style of opening for a technology product launch conference.
Generally speaking, bracelets and Super Dream Game Cabins represent the highest level of civilian technology products in the world, so most manufacturers will arrange the press conference in a high-end, classy, low-key, luxurious and meaningful way, trying their best to show this sense of technology and make people involuntarily have beautiful imaginations about the future.
But this new product launch of Lishan Technology is a bit hard to describe.
If we have to say that the layout of the press conference is high-end, classy, low-key, luxurious and meaningful, it does make sense, but explaining these concepts may require some rather shady ways.
Even many people's eyes were focused on the statue in the center, and they didn't even glance at Chen She on the stage. They were still trying hard to adapt to the scene they saw, and their brains and eyes were fighting.
My brain kept telling me that this was the press conference, but my eyes kept saying no, this is not the place, I must be seeing things.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Chen She did not feel disappointed or angry, but was secretly delighted in his heart.
Good, the goal has been achieved!
He looked around the venue. Because there were too many people, he didn't know if anyone from the Fujido Group or other consortiums had come to the scene. However, with such a big commotion, it would be hard for the Fujido Group's people not to notice it.
Making a huge fuss would have a paralyzing effect on the Fujido Group, but the product would not really sell well, which was exactly Chen She's purpose.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is shocked by the press conference scene that I carefully arranged like an art exhibition."
"It is indeed as expected. In my plan, this is not only the site of Lishan Technology's new product launch conference, but also a large-scale surrealist art exhibition."
"This form of combining a technology product launch conference with an art exhibition is the first of its kind at Lishan Technology Group. Don't be too surprised. I believe this novel form will be widely adopted by other manufacturers and will surely lead the development trend of future technology products."
"Next, please allow me to introduce to you two new products launched by Lishan Technology Group."
"In fact, these two new products have already been shown to everyone in the previous opening."
"Yes, they are the Shackle Bracelet and the Coffin-catching Game Cabin!"
Chen She made a gesture as he spoke. The huge holographic projection in the center of the venue changed again. The shackles on the statue's hands and the game cabin below were highlighted, while the other parts gradually faded.
Finally, the image of the shackles and bracelets and the game cabin rising from the coffin appeared in the middle of the venue in the form of a huge holographic projection, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
At the same time, related images appeared on the big screen behind Chen She.
The image of the shackle bracelet and the game cabin that rises from the coffin is different from the original image on the statue. It looks more colorful and more technological. For example, there is a blue light strip on the shackle bracelet, which looks quite fashionable.
Of course this doesn't change the fact that they look like handcuffs and coffins.
It was only then that the atmosphere group, who were responsible for leading the applause and cheering, finally came to their senses and took the lead in shouting, "Good!"
Then they clapped their hands vigorously. After a moment of silence, the other audience members burst into laughter. At the same time, thunderous applause and cheers resounded throughout the press conference.
The technology media reporters in the front row were originally in a daze, but they finally reacted at this moment and applauded and cheered with everyone.
"Misunderstood! It turns out that Mr. Chen from Lishan Technology is a comedian! It turns out that this press conference is not for launching new products, but for entertaining the public. This spirit is very worthy of encouragement."
"You know what, although these two products are funny, they look pretty good. And although the previous statue is very gloomy, if you look closely, it seems to be full of artistic sense. It seems to have a bit of realism style and a bit of surrealism style."
"Did Mr. Chen really design this himself? It seems that Mr. Chen is not only a good judge of talent, but also an artist with an entertaining spirit!"
"It's true. If the product is made like this, maybe some people who pursue individuality will buy it, provided it is sold at a relatively low price."
“When artists put their work together, the effect is really great!”
The atmosphere group didn't expect that it would actually have such a good effect, but they soon realized that this was mainly because the content of the press conference itself was more of a show effect and had little to do with their leadership.
The audience quickly changed their mindset after the initial confusion.
They now feel that they are not here to attend a press conference, but to watch a comedy show!
So when Chen She introduced the details of the two products on stage, the audience applauded and cheered very enthusiastically, because in their opinion, this spirit of entertaining the public is indeed worth encouraging.
Of course, as to whether to buy this product.
It must be that you buy it and I recommend it, but if you ask me, I won’t buy it.
Although the designs of these two products are very unique and individual, who would go out wearing handcuffs, or lie in a coffin to play Mewtwo? Aren’t they crazy?
Chen She smiled slightly, and after introducing the parameters of the two products, he did not keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the price section.
"The price of the Shackle Bracelet is 2999 credits, and the price of the Rising from the Coffin Game Cabin is 34999 credits."
"We don't have a lot of stock for this batch of products, please buy them as soon as possible, first come first served!"
The audience started to cheer: "It's too cheap. I will definitely buy one when I go to the underworld."
Several reporters from technology media did not take Chen She's words seriously at all.
The reason is simple, the configurations of these two products are really a bit mismatched with their prices!
You should know that neither of these two products uses the chips of the Hi-Tech Group. Moreover, they not only have no advantage in price, but also have disadvantages, being about 20% more expensive than other products of the same quality.
This is very embarrassing.
A sleeping-style Super Dream game cabin costs tens of thousands of credits. Could it be that someone would pay an extra 7,000 or 8,000 credits just to buy a coffin-like appearance? Only a fool would do that.
Moreover, during the explanation, Chen She only introduced their basic parameters and did not introduce any unique functions. It seemed that apart from their appearance, these two products were useless.
I can't imagine any reason to buy either of these products.
Chen She saw that the time for the press conference was almost up, so he smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you again for coming to the Lishan Technology new product press conference. You can go to the display area next to it to take a look at the two new products. I believe you will not be disappointed."
"This press conference ends here. Thank you all for coming, and see you next time!"
Chen She returned to the backstage, the lights came on again, and the audience left the stage one after another amid heated discussions.
The press conference was short and the content was so huge that the audience couldn't digest it all in a short time. They were still discussing it enthusiastically even after the press conference was over.
Chen She returned to the backstage, and Zhao Zhen asked with some concern: "Mr. Chen, why didn't you introduce the product advantages of our two new products?"
Chen She shook his head slightly: "It's best not to take the initiative to introduce this kind of thing, it will attract some unnecessary attention."
Chen She neither explained why these two products were sold at such high prices nor explained the features of these two products.
Because it all comes down to the same thing.
The products are expensive because Chen She modified these chips and communication modules through space-time particles. So when selling them, the money from space-time particles must also be included.
As for the abnormalities of the chips and communication modules of this batch of products, Chen She did not intend to speak out, because it might attract too much unnecessary attention at once. At this juncture, Chen She did not want to cause trouble, and the later everyone discovered it, the better.
Zhao Zhen nodded. What Chen She said did make sense. Whether these products would be successful or not depended on fate.
…
At the same time, Fujido Group’s branch in Dawn City.
Yuki Fujido was also following the launch of Lishan Technology's new products through live webcast. I believe Changye Entertainment Group and many other companies were also paying attention.
But after watching the entire press conference, Fujido Yuki frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The staff beside him didn't dare to speak and waited patiently for Fujido Yuki to finish thinking.
In fact, this staff member had long discovered that Fujido Yuki was a very smart and opinionated person. Many times when he asked him questions, he was not actually trying to get advice from him, but simply wanted to confirm his own ideas or gain a sense of superiority in intelligence.
If Fujido Yuki agrees with his staff, then Fujido Yuki will be very happy and more determined in his own ideas.
If Fujido Yuki and his staff have different ideas, Fujido Yuki will try every means to convince them until they agree with him.
Of course, in most cases, Fujido Hiroki's staff would be left speechless by his refutations.
So after understanding this point, all the staff under Fujido Yuki made their tasks clear, which was to wait until Fujido Yuki finished thinking before expressing their opinions normally.
Either agree with what Fujido Yuki said, or put forward a new idea, which is then denied by Fujido Yuki, and then agree again.
