Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

The news conference continued.

It could be seen that Jiang Yuan was still a little nervous. However, he was trying hard to adjust his emotions. He tried his best to describe it in a slow and smooth tone so that it would not give people a sense of urgency and nervousness.

However, this made the atmosphere of the news conference even more depressing, making people feel drowsy.

"The theme of today's news conference is the 'Embrace the Future' Exchange Conference. We will share a few new technologies that would be used on mainstream cell phones in the future. These include artificial intelligence technology, comprehensive screen technology, fingerprint technology, 3D structure light face recognition technology, screen sound technology, 3DTouch, fast-changing technology…"

Jiang Yuan introduced all the new technologies in the cell phone industry.

Pei Qian could not help but feel that something was amiss.

That was because some of the techniques introduced by Jiang Yuan had not been used by Otto G1!

For example, 3D Structured Light-Face Recognition. This required a bang screen because this technology required several prerequisites to be inserted into the front side of the cell phone. It was completely opposite to the prerequisite camera plan used by G1 cell phones. The two were almost impossible to coexist.

However, Jiang Yuan's solution was still to put the pop-up camera and the in-screen fingerprint sensors. He carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the different solutions.

The audience was sleepy and did not find it interesting at first. However, many people began to listen gradually.

That was because some ideas were brought up in the PowerPoint when describing these plans. For example, how would a new technology be used in the cell phone field? How would the cell phone's appearance change?

These contents were still very attractive to many fanatics who paid attention to digital and cell phone development because they were not professionals and could not come into contact with such knowledge usually.

It was not bad even if it was purely scientific now that they were hearing about the relatively new digital knowledge.

However, this part of the content was rather torturous for ordinary audiences. That was because many ordinary audiences were more concerned about the practicality of cell phones. What was the use if they could not use them even though these technologies were good?

What's more, they had announced that this news conference was the "Exchange Sharing Conference" from the beginning. Jiang Yuan had also been discussing various new technologies the moment he came up. These new technologies did not seem to have the possibility of mass production in the short term. This made the audience unable to hold back.

The entire place was buzzing with discussion. Even the two from the tech media in front of Pei Qian were whispering to each other.

"The content is not bad but only people like us who are passionate about digital will be able to listen to it, right?"

"Indeed, I feel like the others can't sit still anymore."

"Everyone is here for Boss Chang's news conference. Not only did we not hear any cross talk, they did not even release any new products? When can these new technologies be used?"

"Indeed, it's meaningless to talk about these new technologies…"

Obviously, most of the people present were like these two brothers, deeply confused.

Why was Otto Technologies holding this news conference?

What were they even doing here?

Most importantly, these new technologies were basically all from their suppliers. They were not developed by Otto Technologies. Why did they introduce them to other people?

If not for the fact that everyone knew that the news conference would only last for an hour, many people would not have been able to resist the urge to leave.

They really could not take it!

Pei Qian was overjoyed to see the atmosphere at the news conference.

Alright!

Changing the personnel was indeed useful!

If Chang You had been the one to hold the news conference, he might have been able to use his glib tongue to add a few funny joke segments to the introduction of the technology, causing the audience to burst into laughter. That way, even if the content itself was boring, it could catch the audience's attention for a long time.

However, Jiang Yuan did not have the eloquence to do so. Obviously, he did not prepare a joke segment in advance. He was just introducing the various new techniques in a very conventional manner, making people feel sleepy easily.

However, Pei Qian had a question.

Where was the cell phone?

Wasn't he going to release Otto G1? Why hadn't he mentioned it until now?

If Pei Qian had not known the true purpose of this news conference, he would probably have thought that it was a purely technical news conference just like everyone else.

He finished introducing the key technologies in no time.

The audience's patience had basically reached its limit. Fortunately, it had not been a long time. Most people still listened and had a certain understanding of these new technologies.

The timing was just right.

Jiang Yuan could already feel the dissatisfied atmosphere at the scene and was a little flustered. The down and lost atmosphere obviously exceeded his expectations even though this atmosphere was deliberately created.

However, at that moment, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the fifth row.

It was Boss Pei!

Boss Pei smiled, his face filled with trust and encouragement.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt much more confident.

That's right, this was Boss Pei's plan. What was there to worry about? They would definitely achieve the desired effect as long as they carried it out step by step!

Jiang Yuan pressed the remote control and continued speaking at that thought.

"So, after understanding the new technology in the cell phone field, we can predict the future cell phone's form and development direction."

"As a mobile terminal, the cell phone will definitely play an increasingly important role in our lives. The future cell phone must be highly integrated and refined. It will carry all the functions that we can think of, and it will also be a window to show as much information as possible to us."

"We often see similar scenes in movies: a cell phone rich in sci-fi sense as a pure transparent glass that can directly display all kinds of information; or a three-dimensional projection can appear on this glass, allowing us to interact with this information through hand gestures in three-dimensional space…"

"These technologies might still be too far away but we can still explore this direction with the existing technologies. We can try our best to expand the size of the screen in the limited space on the front side of the cell phone so that it can show more information at the same time. Obviously, this is the direction of our future efforts."

Jiang Yuan briefly introduced the current solutions for full screen display, including the special-shaped screens that POUIO's flagship product was developing and the other domestic cell phone manufacturers were also researching their full screen display.

Some concepts about the cell phone's screen appeared on the big screen. Basically, there were all sorts of strange screens. In short, every one of them had a corner or small piece missing.

There was a complete screen with no gaps among them. It was very eye-catching.

Jiang Yuan pressed the remote control, and the full screen with no gaps came to the main page. The other full screen display phones had all disappeared.

"Next, please allow me to introduce Otto Technologies' latest cell phone, Otto G1!"

"This cell phone uses the most extreme and radical full screen display design plan that we have introduced previously: a pop-up camera plan. Using this plan, we successfully increased the cell phone's screen to more than 90% of the body. In addition, we also installed in-screen fingerprint sensors and fast-charging technology for this cell phone…"

Jiang Yuan suddenly sped up his speech and quickly explained the merits of the G1 cell phone.

After the previous foreshadowing, everyone present had a rather deep understanding of the full screen display, pop-up camera, in-screen fingerprint sensors, and other technologies. Therefore, Jiang Yuan only had to add these words together to create a strong impact on the audience.

Many people were obviously stunned.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"A new cell phone?"

"Isn't this an exchange meeting for new technology? Why are they suddenly introducing cell phones?"

"This cell phone looks so stunning. The entire front is a screen. It's so beautiful!"

"These two physical buttons are also very interesting.

"This should be a prototype that doesn't cannot be mass produced, right? It's probably just to show off its muscles."

However, Jiang Yuan quickly entered the next segment while the audience was still discussing.

"The advantages and disadvantages of these new technologies have been explained in detail."

"Next is the price segment."

"Otto G1 cell phone, starting price: 9899 yuan, high storage version price: 9999 yuan."

"In addition, we have also released a special custom-made Mission and Choice version at 10199 yuan!"

"This cell phone has been specially optimized for many Tengda mobile games. The design of the double key would greatly improve your gaming experience…"

"This cell phone contains the same full set of Tengda benefits as E1. If a customer with an E1 cell phone buys our G1 cell phone, they can also enjoy the exclusive plan by trading in their old phone."

"That's because E1 cell phones and G1 cell phones both contain the benefits of Tengda. Therefore, old users do not need to purchase Tengda cell phones repeatedly. They can enjoy a 3,000 yuan discount. In addition, E1 cell phones can be recycled to further reduce your purchase costs…"

The announcement segment and price segment of the new cell phone came out almost one after the other. It was only a few minutes apart. Therefore, a series of numbers had already slapped their faces before the people in the venue could react.

Previously, many people had thought that this was a concept prototype that could not be mass-produced. They had thought that it was meant to show off their skills. However, everyone was stunned once the price was out.

"This is not a concept prototype. It has already been mass-produced to be sold!"

"Holy sh*t, this special commemorative version of Mission and Choice is so cool!"

"What's with the pricing? The special commemorative version is only just a little more expensive? The high storage version is only more expensive by so much? Whoever buys the ordinary version would be an idiot!"

"Three thousand yuan discount for old users?!"

"It's very reasonable. After all, old users' Tengda benefits are permanent. It's not appropriate to buy it again."

"However, I feel that the impact is too strong! Discounting 3,000 yuan for a cell phone that costs about 10,000 yuan. Given the high retention value of the E1, even if I can only trade in the phone for 3,000 yuan, I would only need to make up for another 3,000 yuan to exchange for this cool cell phone. I feel like I'm making a killing!"

"Indeed, this appearance is too recognizable. It feels good no matter whether I use it or give it away!"

The venue of the news conference exploded!

Previously, Jiang Yuan had been talking about all sorts of new technologies and had given everyone proposals for the full screen display. Most people had a basic understanding of these technologies even though they were drowsy listening to it.

At first, no one expected a cell phone to appear now. They thought that it would take at least half a year to a year.

Otto Technologies skipped the concept prototype stage and was selling the mass-produced products unexpectedly!

There might be many shortcomings in these technologies but it was already a good situation if they could sell it. Why would they not?

This sense of surprise instantly washed away the worries about the new technical flaws. Everyone could not wait to be lab rats and experience the charm of the new technology.

Everyone's thoughts became firmer coupled with the series of benefits that followed, including the unprecedented preferential treatment for old users as well as the multiple preferential treatment for Tengda's mobile games.

Logically speaking, other cell phone manufacturers would definitely be criticized if they had released a cell phone that cost as much as 10,000 yuan.

However, no one complained when Otto Technologies released a cell phone that cost 10,000 yuan.

Many people felt that it was worth it even though most people still felt that it was expensive. That was the most ridiculous thing!

Many people did not even look at the contents of the news conference. Instead, they took out their cell phones and searched for the purchase page of Otto G1's cell phone.

The fake fans were still listening to the introduction in the news conference. The real fans were already buying like crazy.

That was because there were very few stocks of E1 cell phones previously. They were sold out before the news conference ended. Therefore, real fans learned from their mistakes. They knew that the stocks of this cell phone would not last until the news conference ended. Thus, they had to strike first!

Pei Qian was stunned when he saw the audience suddenly become so excited.

He looked up at Jiang Yuan, only to see Jiang Yuan winking his right eye at him with an expression that said, "We'd cooperate seamlessly."

Pei Qian was even more confused.

What was happening?!
