Press Conference List (2/3 Chapters)

Chapter 35: Press Conference Guest List (Chapter 23)

In an office at the Suke Electronics factory, Sun Zhongyong slumped in his chair, his phone lying beside him, vibrating incessantly.

"I can't take it anymore. If this keeps up, I'm going to die," Sun Zhongyong waved his hand.

Xu Shuwei, busy at the computer nearby, chuckled and replied, "You had a lot more energy just a moment ago than you do now."

Taking a sip of water, Sun Zhongyong wearily picked up the phone and continued, "Hello, this is Sun Zhongyong. Yes, yes, we will be holding a press conference at the Shangri-La Hotel in Su City the day after tomorrow. Please make a reservation on our official website. We will then send out invitations, and entry will be by invitation only. Thank you for your cooperation. Sorry, another call is coming in, I have to hang up now. See you the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up, ignoring the still frantically vibrating phone, Sun Zhongyong looked at the screen beside him and asked, "Achen, can you check for me which companies have made reservations so far?"

The screen lit up, and Achen replied, "243 companies have made reservations."

"Which companies are they?"

"Okay, there are 31 mobile phone companies, including Hua Wei, Zhong Mi, Shuiguo, OPOP, VOVI, Meizu, Sanxing, 3600, and Meitu Company."

"12 computer companies, including Lenovo, Dell, Huashuo, HP, Hongji, Microsoft, and Shenzhou."

"And 142 home appliance companies, including Gree, Jiuyang, Meidi, Supor, Panasonic, Philips, Ronsard, AUX, Haier, Siemens, Rongsheng, and TCL."

"There are also 46 news media outlets and 9 official Huaxia organizations. This is the list after filtering, and each company can have a maximum of 3 people attend our press conference at the same time."

The water bottle in Sun Zhongyong's hand dropped to the floor. He stared in disbelief. "Achen, can you say that again?"

"Dad Sun, we've already filtered out over 2300 reservations. These are the 243 selected ones remaining. I'll print the list for you right away," Achen replied.

Xu Shuwei, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded and in shock.

After a long moment, he came back to his senses and picked up his phone to call Chen Mengchuan. "Mengchuan, something big has happened! Brother Sun might not be able to handle this!"

"Wait for me. Achen, turn on the video," he said before hanging up.

Chen Mengchuan's avatar instantly appeared on the screen.

"What's wrong? Is it about the press conference?" Chen Mengchuan asked, looking at the two of them.

Xu Shuwei nodded. "The quality and quantity of companies that have reserved for the press conference have far exceeded our expectations."

"Achen, let me see the reservation list," Chen Mengchuan said.

Two-thirds of the screen switched to the company list and slowly scrolled down.

Chen Mengchuan looked at it and felt a headache coming on. "These companies are quite sensitive. Pretty much everyone who should be here, is here..."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan fell into thought. He hadn't expected that just a wireless mobile charger would ignite such a huge situation. It seemed that companies in this era were far more eager and perceptive than those in the future. This was both good and bad. Tianzhi Electronics, due to its production capacity limitations, couldn't possibly handle such a massive opportunity. However, everyone with a long-term vision had now noticed Tianzhi, or rather, Tianzhi's wireless mobile charger technology.

Many had even discovered the wireless power supply technology Tianzhi possessed! After all, whether he was developing Achen or Dawn 1.0, it wasn't a closed-door development. All the developers, during their daily commutes, breaks, and casual chats, inevitably leaked some information. Moving forward, Tianzhi wouldn't be welcoming spring, but rather challenges!

Thinking of this, Chen Mengchuan said, "Achen, activate the 'Black Hole' defense system. From now on, monitor all access data and potential network attacks 24 hours a day!"

Chen Mengchuan's words surprised Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong on the other side of the screen, but they quickly understood why he was doing it.

"Okay, Father, the Black Hole defense system has been activated. Should we also activate the 'Spider Web' system?" Achen asked.

Chen Mengchuan shook his head. "Not yet. I'll tell you when it's needed. However, Achen, if you find it necessary to activate the Spider Web system, remind me as well."

"Okay, Father."

"Brother Xu, Brother Sun, I apologize for not informing you about these matters earlier. Black Hole and Spider Web are two network security defense systems that Toni, Achen, and I completed together. I'll explain them to you in detail when we have time. I didn't expect we'd need them so soon. The arrangements for the Shangri-La Hotel need to be redone. Let the hotel staff start setting things up now. Since we've shown our hand, let's make Tianzhi a legend overnight!" Chen Mengchuan declared with great spirit!

"Alright, I'll take people to the Shangri-La Hotel immediately," Sun Zhongyong said, standing up.

"Achen, scan the Shangri-La Hotel for relevant images and data, analyze them, and create a scene layout plan for the press conference. Send it to Brother Sun as soon as it's ready. Notify Wanyu and Xiaoxiao and have them bring their teams to the Shangri-La Hotel as well. We must have the venue set up by tomorrow evening," Chen Mengchuan instructed.

"Okay, Father."

"Contact Toni for me."

The screen quickly switched to Toni's image.

"Mengchuan, you were looking for me?" Toni asked, adjusting his glasses.

Chen Mengchuan nodded. "About acquiring production lines that you mentioned yesterday, go and do it immediately. Don't worry about the cost; spread the net as wide as possible! We need to sign the contract by tomorrow evening at the latest. Set a high penalty for breach of contract, and payment should be made immediately after the contract is signed!"

Toni frowned. Although he didn't know why Chen Mengchuan was suddenly so urgent, he didn't ask for reasons. He adjusted his glasses and replied, "I'll secure at least 300 production lines before the day after tomorrow."

"300 is barely enough, but the more the better, Toni." After saying this, Chen Mengchuan fell into thought. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces had a vast number of electronics manufacturing companies, and there were plenty of production lines that could meet Dawn's requirements. Acquiring 300 lines and taking 1-2 months to integrate them should be barely enough to bring production capacity to a relatively ideal level. However, once they started signing orders with these companies, even with these 300 production lines, it would still be a drop in the bucket.

A phone ring interrupted Chen Mengchuan's thoughts. It was Zhao Wanyu calling.

"Wanyu."

"Brother Chuan, a high-ranking official from the Su Province Department will be visiting Tianzhi tomorrow, accompanied by an interview team from Huaxia's official media," Zhao Wanyu said in a low voice, though without much joy in her tone.

This is the second chapter for today. There will be another chapter tonight. Please collect and recommend.
