New Product, Sword Come!

Three days after the entire internet was abuzz with news of Samsung Company accusing Shenma Technology Company of stealing laboratory technology.

After two days of fermentation, this matter has now become the focus of almost the entire internet.

The message Ning Yifan posted on Weibo went unnoticed by many because it had neither a trending topic nor a hashtag, rendering it completely useless.

Online, netizens were enthusiastically replying.

"What's going on? It's the third day, is Shenma Technology Company being a coward? Why aren't they saying anything about what's happening? Their products are already off the shelves."

"It's confirmed. Shenma Technology Company must have stolen their technology, that's why they don't dare to speak up."

"Could they have run off? Does anyone who knows the inside story want to share?"

"I just asked Shenma Technology Company's customer service on Taobao, and it's still just robots. They said Shenma Technology Company isn't running off and didn't steal Samsung's technology, but that Samsung preemptively registered a patent for their core technology, and they've been improving their product manufacturing technology these past two days. Tell me, can you believe this, a robot!!!"

"Stupid Shenma Technology Company! My Phantom Projector broke less than a month after I bought it. I went to Taobao for after-sales service, but couldn't find a real person, only robot replies. Damn it, take your 5,000 yuan and buy a coffin! I wish you bankruptcy soon!"

"New companies are like this, their quality control is terrible, things break easily! When buying things, you should buy from established brands, especially for home appliances that you use for years or even decades. Big companies also have better after-sales service and you don't have to worry about them disappearing."

"Shenma Technology Company has betrayed the trust of the Chinese people. I'll never buy from small companies again. My salary for over a month just went down the drain, damn it!"

Posting comments to fill the space, to bash Shenma Technology Company, this is what Zhou Linyue, an online mercenary paid to post comments, did. He did part-time work when he had nothing else to do, earning a little pocket money.

He took a screenshot of his comment and sent it to a newly registered QQ account. Two yuan were credited to him. It had to be said, big companies were different. Most comments and replies used to only pay fifty cents per post!

With his excellent typing speed and numerous accounts across various platforms, Zhou Linyue could bash Shenma Technology Company in countless ways. In just over two days, he had already earned over three thousand yuan!

Seeing the posts about Shenma Technology Company and Samsung online, as soon as they were published, there were so many comments, it seemed very lively, and many people were paying attention to this matter.

However, over a thousand of these comments were from Zhou Linyue alone, not to mention the countless other online mercenaries like him.

This is how the hype was created. Even people who didn't pay much attention would subconsciously become curious when they saw so many people commenting and leaving messages. What were these people doing? Upon looking, their impression of Shenma Technology Company naturally worsened. This exploited the common Chinese tendency to enjoy watching a spectacle.

After posting the screenshot of his comment, Zhou Linyue switched accounts again and posted another comment bashing Shenma Technology Company. He took a screenshot, and another two yuan were credited to him.

For one post, Zhou Linyue used three small accounts and earned six yuan before he stopped and started looking for the next post about Shenma Technology and Samsung.

Soon, another post appeared in Zhou Linyue's sight.

[Shenma Technology Company Responds to Samsung: The Guilty Party Cries Foul, Let's Let the Technology Speak to See Who Stole Whose Technology!]

What's this?

Zhou Linyue curiously clicked on it to view the post's content.

It was a video news report. Standing in the video was a blogger, a well-known news blogger online. Facing the viewers outside the video, the news blogger smiled and began to speak.

"Recently, Shenma Technology Company and Samsung Company have been making a lot of noise online over issues of technological theft.

Samsung Company has accused Shenma Technology Company of stealing their latest laboratory achievements, which were then used to manufacture the Phantom Projector series of products.

However, according to the blogger's understanding, not long after Samsung Company released the relevant news across the internet, Shenma Technology Company issued a direct response to Samsung Company on their official Weibo.

According to the message from Shenma Technology Company, Samsung Company is the one crying foul and has cracked Shenma Technology Company's technology. In Shenma Technology Company's statement on Weibo, Samsung Company is the one that stole the technology.

Both sides have their own claims, so what is the truth?

Shenma Technology Company has also provided a way to prove their innocence in their reply post: the two companies will have a direct product technology competition to see whose product technology is more advanced.

One is a company that was established just a few months ago, with only the founder as its technical staff. The other is an international conglomerate with numerous researchers. This looks like the last struggle of a scammer.

However, according to the blogger's understanding, at 10 AM this morning, Shenma Technology Company will release its latest product to respond to Samsung Company.

This product will have even superior performance compared to the current Phantom Projector products. Will Shenma Technology Company be lying, or is Samsung Company the one crying foul? It will be revealed at 10 AM this morning!"

A relatively fair and just Weibo news report. After watching it, Zhou Linyue thought to himself.

However, this didn't stop him from making money!

"Just you wait, 10 o'clock is almost here, Shenma Technology Company has definitely run off! Haven't we seen companies like this before, where they take the money and run? Like that bike-sharing company, it ripped people off! In the end, didn't the messages they released say something about asking users to believe them, but in the end, they didn't even refund the deposits!"

Comment posted, two yuan earned.

Changing to another account, Zhou Linyue continued to milk the system.

"Trash Shenma Technology Company, refund my money! Products made with stolen technology are trash! I bought the Phantom Projector just the day before yesterday, and it's broken today. I really don't know how those good reviews online came about! The online mercenaries are too rampant with fake reviews! People's hearts are not what they used to be, you absolutely cannot believe what you see online nowadays! This is my bitter lesson!"

Comment posted, another two yuan earned!

Using his third small account.

"Shenma Technology Company, I'll hate them forever. I despise thieves the most, and that applies to companies too. Why can't they make products honestly? Why do they have to take crooked paths? Products from companies with such bad reputations must also be trash. I hope Samsung Company sues Shenma Technology Company into bankruptcy. They're annoying just to look at!"

Comment posted, two yuan.

After commenting with his small accounts, Zhou Linyue refreshed the latest posts again.

Soon, he found another post concerning Samsung Company and Shenma Technology Company.

"A duel is about to begin? Who is right, who is wrong? The truth will be revealed soon, Go Shenma Technology Company!"

Unlike the previous post, which took a neutral stance on Shenma Technology Company and Samsung Company, this post clearly leaned more towards Shenma Technology Company and also mentioned Shenma Technology Company's response at 10 AM.

"This feels a bit unusual!" Zhou Linyue thought, taking a sip of wolfberry water in front of his computer.

With the sharp instincts of an online mercenary, Zhou Linyue sensed that something unusual was happening. Perhaps Shenma Technology Company would make a new move soon!

But what did that have to do with him? Making money was the priority!

More small accounts, as usual, trashed and left. However, in the following time, Zhou Linyue noticed that more and more posts were speaking up for Shenma Technology Company. It was definitely a PR team, or they had paid money like Samsung!

"It's already the third day, and it's the last day for Shenma Technology Company to reply to Samsung Company's Weibo. We'll have to wait and see how things develop."

"No bias, Shenma Technology Company's Phantom Projector is really great. It doesn't have any of the problems people are talking about online!"

"From what I understand, in the time the Phantom Projector has been on sale, there have been almost no machines damaged during normal use, and even very severe damage is very, very rare!"

News that Shenma Technology Company would release a new product at ten o'clock was gradually becoming known to more people online.

The heat that had already been stirred up by Samsung Company also made the news released by Shenma Technology Company receive more attention.

Ten o'clock in the morning arrived quickly.

As soon as the time came, Shenma Technology Company's official Weibo, the Phantom Projector TV system, the splash screen ads on TVs produced by several major companies, the Weibo accounts of several major companies, their official Douyin accounts, and so on, as well as the news media contacted by the PR teams of the major companies, all pushed out news.

Clicking on the push.

The video started with a short film.

Ink wash animation.

A young man with a long sword on his back and a bamboo hat stood in a fierce wind and heavy rain.

The wind howled, the rain poured down, and lightning occasionally split the sky, striking near the youth.

The youth standing in the storm seemed to be against the entire world!

However, the sword-wielding youth showed no fear, walking forward at a constant speed, step by step.

The scene shifted. Far, far ahead of the youth, a grotesque demon god, holding a wooden sword, stood at the end of the world.

The demon god's body was enormous, with mountains and rivers beneath its feet, white clouds on its insteps, and legs like pillars supporting the sky. Three bright stars circled its head.

Before the demon god, the sword-bearing youth was as small as dust.

Yet, facing the difference in size, the sword-bearing youth was completely fearless. Accompanied by the constant wind and rain, lightning and thunder, crossing mountains and rivers, he traveled thousands of miles alone and finally arrived before the demon god.

The sword-bearing youth's footsteps quickened, from walking to running, until his body trailed afterimages. His long sword was drawn from its sheath, he leaped up a hundred thousand meters, and charged at the giant with his sword!

The giant swung its wooden sword, as if swatting a mosquito, and struck at the sword-bearing youth.

The screen went black. The battle was over.

The youth sheathed his long sword and turned to leave. Behind him, the giant wooden sword lay broken in two, and the demon god's mountain-like body lay on the ground.

The animation ended, followed by a piece of text.

I have a sword that can slay demon gods. Samsung Company, do you dare to accept my sword!!!

The long sword on the youth's back appeared on the screen. The sword, like flowing water, gradually transformed into the appearance of Shenma Technology Company's latest product, the Phantom Projector Super Edition.

Phantom Projector Super Edition, this sword can slay Samsung!!!
