Army Ant Butterfly Eye

Li Tiejun leaned against the table, half-asleep. The huge screen displayed a projection full of technological flair, but it failed to lift his spirits in the slightest.

If it weren't for the sake of appearances, he would have loved to just lie down on the table and sleep.

He had been working day and night on drafts for the past two days, and today he had to attend a press conference. He was so exhausted now that he wished he could go back to sleep immediately. But it was his job, and his superiors had told him to come, so he had no choice.

Now he just hoped the weekend would arrive quickly so he could get some good rest.

Many companies held press conferences that were essentially newsless news conferences, or the theme of the conference was unclear, with no focus on what was being released, just endless boasting about how amazing their company was.

Small businesses just wanted to use the media for publicity and to build brand awareness. So he was already indifferent to the press conferences of those small companies.

He really didn't understand why, as a well-known major media outlet in the country, his superiors would send him to attend a press conference for a company that was smaller than small.

Maybe they have connections! Li Tiejun thought to himself.

Army Ant Technology Co.

Before coming, he had checked the company's information. To his despair, it was just a company that had been registered in Bin Hai City a few months ago.

What kind of eye-catching news could a newly established company like this have?

He didn't need to think; it would be another boring press conference.

Attending boring meetings, press conferences, and the like was simply a waste of life.

It wasn't just him; many of his journalist friends in the industry around him were also sitting in their seats playing on their phones, playing games, or chatting. There were a few intern reporters, sitting upright in their seats, diligently preparing their press releases for the conference.

The press conference would start in a few minutes, so Li Tiejun could only pick up his phone and play, trying his best not to fall asleep.

"How many have arrived?"

As soon as Zhao Min walked into the backstage area, she looked at the press conference planner.

Li Lingfeng was very capable in business, but unfortunately, he had been fired from his previous company for offending senior executives. After Zhao Min found him, he didn't even ask about salary and quit the job he had finally found to come and help Zhao Min.

"107 companies. Several mainstream media outlets like People's Daily, Global Times, Phoenix Net, and Sina are here. The others are mostly tech media. A few self-media individuals were introduced by friends to show their support."

Li Lingfeng followed closely behind Zhao Min.

"It's a bit better than expected."

"We used all the connections we could. We could only gather this many," Li Lingfeng said.

As they spoke, Zhao Min had already arrived at the backstage area of the press conference. She took the microphone, put it on, and holding the projection pen, Zhao Min walked onto the press conference stage.

As soon as Zhao Min appeared, the press conference venue immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes focused on her.

The mysterious press conference had finally begun. Some reporters who were playing on their phones also turned their attention to the stage.

Zhao Min's gaze swept across the venue.

Seeing Chen Mo in the corner, Zhao Min couldn't help but linger for a moment. This boss was a bit of a pain; he made her do everything.

"Hello, media friends. I am the CEO of Army Ant Company. Today is a special press conference. There is no host, no pot-bellied leaders. The boss said he wanted to keep a low profile, so he refused to appear. This is also the first time I've seen such a low-profile boss."

A light chuckle rippled through the crowd below, and Chen Mo awkwardly touched his nose. He hadn't expected Zhao Min to dare to openly tease him.

The dull atmosphere became relaxed with Zhao Min's teasing.

"Let's get to the point. You must be guessing what our product is today and what kind of news is worth seeing. This is what you care about most. I can tell you, your arrival is definitely not in vain. If you feel you came for nothing, after the press conference, ask me for the travel expenses to go back."

Zhao Min's words immediately energized the reporters in the venue, and they looked at her with bright eyes.

"Today, our product is this." Zhao Min clicked the projection pen in her hand, and the screen behind her changed.

A phone?

Seeing the phone appear on the screen, all the reporters' eyes widened in surprise.

Was today a phone launch event?

In this era, unless it was a press conference by a mobile phone giant, a phone launch event was no longer news, especially for a small company like this. However, this phone was indeed exquisite and made people like it.

For a moment, many people showed disappointment in their eyes.

Seeing the reaction of the reporters below, Zhao Min smiled slightly and pressed the projection pen in her hand.

The phone on the screen lit up, and the company's Army Ant logo appeared. After about ten seconds, the phone opened, and the desktop lit up.

Everyone had a look of confusion on their faces and focused their eyes on Zhao Min, hoping she would explain.

"This is our company's first product, a brand new smart phone operating system - the Army Ant System."

Zhao Min dropped a bombshell. All the reporters were stunned, unable to react, and stared blankly at the screen.

Not a phone? It's a phone system?

The venue became dead silent. Zhao Min didn't speak either, maintaining a professional smile as she looked at the reporters below. After about ten seconds, everyone came to their senses, and a slight commotion appeared in the press conference venue.

Even the drowsy Li Tiejun lost his sleepiness and looked at Zhao Min with sharp eyes.

If the news was true, it meant that besides YUN OS, the second domestic smart phone operating system had appeared.

The mobile phone system has always been a weak point in China. The 30% Apple tax incident was a tyrannical rule implemented by Apple using its monopoly position.

Although Apple compromised and canceled the fee collection not long ago, this incident has already served as a reminder to the Chinese people.

Without core technology, one will inevitably be controlled by others.

Although Ali developed YUN OS, the mobile operating system market was already dominated by Android's open source, and YUN OS had a small share. Therefore, Ali set its sights on in-car systems.

The birth of another domestic smartphone operating system was definitely good news.

Li Tiejun became excited, focusing his attention on the computer and starting to draft. As soon as the news was confirmed, he could publish it immediately and seize the news hotspot.

Zhao Min saw the questions on the faces of all the reporters and pressed the projection pen again. The screen changed.

"The Army Ant System is a brand new smartphone operating system. It is independently designed by our company and adopts a completely new architecture. It is different from any mobile operating system currently on the market and is independent of all major basic systems. Its security and smoothness are better than any mobile phone on the market. The introduction of the first product is complete."

Zhao Min's introduction almost made the excited reporters below spit out a mouthful of old blood.

They had never seen such a hasty press conference. It whetted people's appetites and then left them hanging in mid-air, unable to go up or down. This feeling was particularly uncomfortable.

Shouldn't other companies' new product launch conferences be about heavily promoting the advantages of their products?

"Next is today's second product."

Hearing that there was a second product, the reporters perked up again.

"The advantages of the Army Ant System will be introduced in detail in conjunction with this product." Zhao Min seemed to know the reporters' feelings. She tapped the projection pen, and the PPT instantly changed.

"This is the first mobile phone launched by our company: Army Ant Butterfly Eye."
