Press Conference

Press Conference (13 Chapters)

The time soon arrived, and everyone began filing in.

A tall, beautiful female host stood by the stage, working with the staff to guide each attendee to their seat. A total of 1,032 people had registered for the press conference, and every one of them showed up. Extra backup seats had been arranged, but they ultimately went unused.

There were quite a few reporters, with cameras and recording equipment spread across the front and back rows, as well as both sides of the venue. The scale was considerable.

After the host casually warmed up the crowd, the press conference officially began. Following a brief speech from a municipal leader, Xu Shuwei took Dawn 1.0 and walked onto the stage.

Watching Xu Shuwei take the stage, Toni, seated in the front row, adjusted his glasses and asked, "Do you know why Shuwei isn't wearing a suit?"

Chen Mengchuan said with a smile, "Probably because a suit wouldn't fit him."

Zhao Wanyu also smiled as she activated the livestream on her phone. She took out a stand and fixed the camera facing the stage.

The flashes and spotlights all focused on Xu Shuwei onstage.

"Good morning, leaders and distinguished guests. I'm Xu Shuwei. Standing here and looking at all these leaders and big names, to be honest, this little body of mine feels a bit shaky..." Xu Shuwei began his speech, quickly stirring up the atmosphere and creating a relaxed, lively, yet mysteriously expectant mood.

"Many of you have seen all kinds of products on the display boards and wall posters around the venue today. Not long ago, most people would probably have thought they were fantasies. But now, I'd wager that some of you have already imagined the advertising slogans for your own new products..."

"After all that talk, let's discuss something more practical. These days, one crucial aspect of most electronic devices cannot be ignored: safety! Whether at home, in offices, hotels, or many other places, there are countless safety hazards caused by damaged equipment, aging devices, and deteriorating wiring..."

"Tianzhi's wireless current transmission technology has limitless possibilities. All sorts of applications will appear in every scenario you can imagine. Dawn 1.0 is only the beginning..."

Xu Shuwei spoke eloquently. As the audience followed his words and watched future scenarios appear one after another on the big screen, discussions continued to rise. Soon, the screen switched to a PPT presentation for the new product, Leap 1.0.

"This is Tianzhi's new energy core chip currently under development, based on wireless current transmission technology: Leap 1.0. All the applications and future scenarios I mentioned earlier will revolve around the Leap 1.0 we are developing. How large is Leap 1.0? At present, we estimate it will be about the size of an adult thumbnail, with a thickness of roughly 0.1 to 0.2 centimeters..."

"Leap 1.0 will fully achieve precise wireless power transmission over seventeen meters! And it will accomplish completely zero-loss transmission! Electric kettles, water heaters, air conditioners, computers, rice cookers, washing machines, range hoods, and so on..."

Before Xu Shuwei could even finish, the venue had completely erupted into a buzzing chorus of discussion.

"Brother Chuan, Toni, Brother Xu is going to blow up this time." Zhao Wanyu looked at the countless scrolling comments in her livestream. The number of viewers had terrifyingly exceeded five million, and people were frantically sending tips.

Chen Mengchuan leaned over for a look. The scrolling comments were packed densely together.

The screen was flooded with messages.

Big Bro Fat is awesome!

Tianzhi is awesome!

Huaxia is awesome!

Huaxia is rising!

The age of black technology has arrived!

"This is only the beginning." Toni adjusted his glasses, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

The press conference continued until nearly noon. During the half-hour intermission, the internet had already completely exploded. Dozens of media outlets immediately updated their coverage with content from the event, while countless experts and scholars published all kinds of opinions on online media platforms.

In the second half, Huaxia's official media even provided live commentary and coverage.

On Douyin Live, the debut stream of the Black Tech Young Lady caused the Douyin platform to crash for seven whole minutes. Large numbers of users were unable to load the video feed, forcing Douyin headquarters to urgently increase bandwidth and server capacity. They quickly pinned the Black Tech Young Lady's livestream and promoted it through pop-ups. The number of viewers in Zhao Wanyu's stream soared past nineteen million.

At the end of the press conference, Xu Shuwei unveiled the already drafted "Leap 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement," announcing that they would work with all manufacturers willing to cooperate with Tianzhi to develop and implement the Leap 1.0 energy core chip. This news pushed the atmosphere at the venue to its peak.

After the press conference ended, all attendees were guided to the buffet restaurant and private rooms. Not a single participant left. Everyone was either discussing matters, making calls, or starting video conferences, with most of the discussion focused on the "Leap 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement."

In a small private room, Xu Shuwei slumped on the sofa, drinking mineral water as he asked, "I'm exhausted. This really isn't work for humans. Mengchuan, Toni, how far along is Leap 1.0 now?"

Chen Mengchuan said with a smile, "We've now completed adaptation for more than a hundred different voltage and current environments."

"Dozens of companies have already signed cooperation agreements on the spot, and there's another signing ceremony at two o'clock. I'm really almost out of strength." Xu Shuwei waved his hand as he spoke.

Knock, knock, knock! Someone knocked on the door. Zhao Wanyu pushed it open and entered, her expression somewhat complicated.

"What is it, Wanyu?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"Huaxia Electric Grid wants to discuss deep cooperation with us. Six of the grid's top executives are coming to Su City the day after tomorrow," Zhao Wanyu said slowly.

Toni adjusted his glasses and looked at Chen Mengchuan. "Mengchuan, this is an opportunity to truly change the world."

Xu Shuwei also sat up straight.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan said with a smile, "Cooperating with Huaxia Electric Grid was always an important part of our plan. What else can we do? Just proceed according to plan. Some matters must be rushed, but others cannot be rushed."

That evening, another storm swept across Huaxia's internet!

More than two hundred electronic equipment companies officially announced that they had reached cooperation agreements with Tianzhi Electronics. Many core terms of the "Leap 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement" were exposed, and all of Huaxia erupted. It was as if everyone could already see a future where every electronic device in every household had completed wireless current adaptation.

At seven that evening, Huaxia Official TV aired a compilation video lasting more than five minutes, explaining Tianzhi Electronics' Leap 1.0 energy core chip! Huaxia had announced that it was leading the world in the field of wireless current!

After watching Huaxia Official TV's report, every employee of Tenzhi Technology and Tianzhi Electronics was thrilled beyond measure. After speaking with Chen Mengchuan, Sun Zhongyong announced that all employees' overtime pay for the month would be doubled, their bonuses doubled, and that every employee, regardless of seniority, would receive an additional 10,000-yuan bonus red packet!

Three chapters today. I'll post one first; it's already past midnight.
