Chapter 41: Press Conference (13 Chapters)
Time flew by, and guests began to file in.
A tall, handsome female host stood by the stage, coordinating with staff to guide attendees to their seats one by one. A total of 1032 people had registered for this press conference, and all of them were present. Although extra backup seats had been arranged, they ultimately weren't needed.
A considerable number of reporters were present, their long lenses and cameras filling the front and back rows of the venue, as well as the sides. The scale of the event was quite impressive.
After a brief and relaxed warm-up by the host, the press conference officially began. Following a short speech by a city official, Xu Shuwei walked onto the stage, holding the Dawn 1.0.
Watching Xu Shuwei ascend 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 chuckled and replied, "Probably because a suit wouldn't fit him."
Zhao Wanyu also smiled and activated her phone's live streaming function. She set up a stand and fixed the camera to face the stage.
Flashes and spotlights converged on Xu Shuwei on stage.
"Distinguished leaders, esteemed guests, good morning everyone. I am Xu Shuwei. Standing here, looking at all the leaders and bigwigs, I have to admit, this small frame of mine feels a bit overwhelmed..." Xu Shuwei began his presentation, quickly igniting the atmosphere and creating a sense of relaxed, lively, yet mysterious anticipation.
"Many of you have seen various products on the display racks and wall posters here today. Not too long ago, many of these products might have seemed like pure fantasy. But now, I suspect some of you here have already imagined advertising slogans for your own new products..."
"After all this talk, let me get to something more practical. Nowadays, most electronic devices cannot escape a crucial attribute: safety! Whether at home, in the office, hotels, or many other scenarios, there are numerous safety hazards caused by damaged equipment or aging wiring..."
"Tenzhi's wireless current transmission technology has limitless potential for imagination. Various applications will emerge in all the scenarios you can possibly conceive. Dawn 1.0 is just the beginning..."
Xu Shuwei spoke eloquently. Following his words and the future scenarios displayed on the large screen, the audience below engaged in continuous discussion. Soon, the screen switched to a PPT presentation of the new product, Leaping 1.0.
"This is Tenzhi's new energy core chip, Leaping 1.0, currently under development, based on wireless current transmission technology. All the applications and future scenarios I've mentioned will revolve around the Leaping 1.0 we are developing. How big is Leaping 1.0? We currently predict it will be about the size of an adult's thumbnail, with a thickness of approximately 0.1-0.2 centimeters..."
"Leaping 1.0 will fully achieve precise wireless power transmission over a distance of 17 meters! And it will achieve absolutely zero transmission loss! This applies to electric kettles, water heaters, air conditioners, computers, rice cookers, washing machines, range hoods, and so on and so forth..."
Before Xu Shuwei could finish speaking, the venue erupted into a buzzing cacophony of discussion.
"Brother Chuan, Toni, Brother Xu is going to be famous this time," Zhao Wanyu said, looking at the countless comments flooding her live stream. The online viewership had reached an astonishing 5 million, with people showering her with virtual gifts.
Chen Mengchuan leaned over to take a look. The screen was filled with a dense stream of comments.
A massive amount of scrolling text.
[Fat Bro is awesome!]
[Tenzhi is awesome!]
[Huaxia is awesome!]
[Huaxia rises!]
[The era of black technology is here!]
"This is just the beginning," Toni said, adjusting his glasses, his eyes filled with fervor.
The press conference continued until almost noon. During the half-hour intermission, the internet had already exploded. Dozens of media outlets immediately updated their content from the event, and numerous experts and scholars posted various opinions on online media platforms.
In the second half, Huaxia's official media even provided live commentary and reporting.
On Douyin Live, the premiere broadcast by the "Black Technology Miss" caused Douyin's platform to crash for a full 7 minutes. A large number of users were unable to load the video feed. Douyin headquarters urgently increased bandwidth and server capacity, quickly pinning and promoting the "Black Technology Miss's" stream. Zhao Wanyu's live stream viewership surged to over 19 million.
At the end of the press conference, Xu Shuwei unveiled the pre-prepared "Leaping 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement," announcing that they would collaborate with all manufacturers willing to partner with Tenzhi to develop and implement the Leaping 1.0 energy core chip. This announcement pushed the atmosphere at the venue to its climax.
After the press conference concluded, all attendees were guided to a self-service restaurant and various private rooms. Not a single attendee left; everyone was engrossed in discussions, making phone calls, or initiating video conferences. The main topic of conversation was the "Leaping 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement."
In a small private room, Xu Shuwei slumped onto the sofa, drinking mineral water, and asked, "I'm exhausted. This is really not human work. Mengchuan, Toni, what's the current completion status of Leaping 1.0?"
Chen Mengchuan smiled and replied, "We've already completed compatibility testing for over 100 versions across different voltage and current environments."
"Dozens of companies signed cooperation agreements on the spot, and there's a signing ceremony at 2 PM. I'm really running on fumes," Xu Shuwei said, waving his hand.
"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock sounded at the door, and Zhao Wanyu entered, her expression somewhat complex.
"What's wrong, Wanyu?" Chen Mengchuan asked.
"Huaxia Electric Grid wants to discuss deep cooperation with us. Six top officials from the grid are coming to Su City the day after tomorrow," Zhao Wanyu said slowly.
Toni pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at Chen Mengchuan, "Mengchuan, this is a genuine opportunity to change the world."
Xu Shuwei also sat up straight.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan smiled and said, "Cooperation with Huaxia Electric Grid was always a crucial part of our plan. How should we proceed? Just follow the plan. Some things need to be rushed, but some things cannot be rushed."
In the evening, the entire Huaxia internet was once again swept by a storm!
Over 200 electronic device companies officially announced their cooperation agreements with Tenzhi Electronics. Many core clauses of the "Leaping 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement" were leaked, causing the whole of Huaxia to erupt in excitement. Everyone seemed to envision the future where all electronic devices in every household would be adapted for wireless current.
By 7 PM, Huaxia's official TV broadcast a segment of over 5 minutes, a compilation of short clips, explaining Tenzhi Electronics' Leaping 1.0 energy core chip! Huaxia announced its world-leading position in the field of wireless current!
After watching the report on Huaxia Official TV, all employees of Tenzhi Technology and Tenzhi Electronics were immensely excited. Sun Zhongyong, after discussing with Chen Mengchuan, announced that all employees' overtime pay for the month would be doubled, bonuses would be doubled, and each employee would receive an additional bonus red envelope of 10,000 yuan, regardless of their years of service.
Three chapters today, this is the first one, posted early in the morning.
