Buyer

Shipped the night before, the next morning Chen Qingsong was stunned when he saw the delivery info—in just one night, the projector he'd spent five thousand yuan on had been air-freighted to his city and was already out for delivery.

Pretty efficient!

He was quite excited about the projector he'd researched for so long yesterday, and had made ample preparations—downloaded 8K movies, downloaded 8K-supported games, not to mention the games he usually played.

When heading to work, Chen Qingsong directly packed his ITX computer into his backpack and brought it to the company. Once the package arrived, he could test it right away. If the performance wasn't satisfactory, he'd return it today to avoid any lingering regrets.

At nine in the morning, not long after arriving at the company, Chen Qingsong got a call from the SF Express courier—his package was at the company entrance.

Under the curious gazes of his colleagues, Chen Qingsong hurried out of the company in big strides.

When he reached the entrance, the SF Express courier was already waiting there. Seeing this, Chen Qingsong stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm here to pick up a package."

The courier smiled and said, "Please give me the recipient's name and phone number."

"You just called me. The recipient's name is Ultraman Fights Little Monsters, phone number 157xxx."

"Alright, here's your package. Please sign here." After confirming the customer's info, the courier handed the package to Chen Qingsong.

Taking the package and the pen the courier offered, Chen Qingsong signed his name on it. After the courier scanned it, he grabbed his package and hurried away.

Back in the office, Chen Qingsong had no interest in working. The company had just finished a big project, and there were no new tasks—everyone was just playing games or watching movies, and the easygoing boss had no objections.

First, unbox and inspect!

Placing the package on his desk, Chen Qingsong pulled out his keys and slit open the packaging.

"Look at you, all eager and impatient—what did you buy?" A colleague at the neighboring desk leaned over and asked curiously.

Without turning his head, Chen Qingsong replied, "A projector." He didn't bother being secretive; soon enough, when he tested it, the image would be projected onto the white wall beside them, and everyone would see it.

Xie Yunwei, who had turned around bored to watch Chen Qingsong unbox, said helplessly, "So it's a projector. With that antsy look on your face, I thought the package was holding a girl."

Walking over to Chen Qingsong's desk, Xie Yunwei continued, "I've bought a projector too, but it's only good for messing around. In actual use, it'll probably end up gathering dust at home."

"The projection quality during the day is terrible. Unless you spend a certain amount, you'll even get serious graininess—not much use."

"I've got one at home that cost over two thousand yuan. I used it for less than a month before it was completely shelved. If you'd said you were buying a projector earlier, I'd have given you mine."

Xie Yunwei asked curiously, "By the way, how much did this projector of yours cost?"

"Five thousand!" Chen Qingsong replied casually as he tore open the tightly wrapped package.

Hearing the price, Xie Yunwei added, "Five thousand, huh. That should be pretty decent. It's okay for watching movies, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Smiling slightly, Chen Qingsong answered, "You're wrong there. I have high hopes for this projector. It has to have clear display quality—even with direct sunlight, the effect can't be worse than a TV. Otherwise, I'm returning it!"

Xie Yunwei rubbed his forehead and said, "That's way too demanding. Don't bother unboxing—just return it now. Where is there a projector that works under direct sunlight and looks as good as a TV?"

Slicing through another layer of bubble wrap, Chen Qingsong said, "Maybe there is!"

"How could there be? If there were, it'd be crazy expensive. And your projector brand isn't some big name like Sony. This Shenma Technology Company—never even heard of it."

Xie Yunwei said worriedly, "Don't get scammed. What if they don't let you return it?"

"I have chat records. I can contact customer service. I won't get scammed."

As they talked, Chen Qingsong finally unwrapped the projector from its multiple layers of tight packaging.

He'd already seen the accessories and appearance online many times yesterday, so he just gave the body a quick check to confirm there was no damage.

Connecting the projector's DP port to the ITX computer he'd brought along, he aimed the projector lens at the white wall beside him and plugged it in to power on!

The computer and projector started up together.

An expert knows at a glance. The solid weight in his hand, the sturdy build, and the now barely audible fan noise all boosted Chen Qingsong's confidence in this projector.

Soon, the computer finished booting. The bottom right of the projected screen showed the startup info: boot time six seconds, beating 90% of computers nationwide!

On the projected screen, Chen Qingsong's familiar computer desktop was clearly displayed.

Xie Yunwei, watching from the side, said in surprise, "Hey, it's actually pretty good!"

The office windows were open, and the lights were on, yet the projected image showed no distortion at all—it was like a high-brightness display embedded in the wall!

"This isn't even the best effect!" With a slight smile, Chen Qingsong moved the mouse: Properties, Settings, Resolution Settings. He pulled the resolution up to the maximum 8K and confirmed!

The screen went black, then lit up again, revealing a different scene to Chen Qingsong and Xie Yunwei.

The display was much finer. On the screen, a Flame Chariot burning with fire looked lifelike—the tire marks were clearly visible, and the spatial distortion from the flames felt incredibly real.

Xie Yunwei, who usually liked electronics, exclaimed, "Damn, this thing of yours is awesome! The effect is this good? Totally unimaginable! A projector can actually be made like this!"

"The best is yet to come. Just watch!" Chen Qingsong put on a calm face, but inside he was also shocked. Even with some expectations, seeing it in person still felt surprising.

For this test, Chen Qingsong had come prepared. An ultra-high-definition 8K movie took up a full 60GB of memory. Playing it would cause lag if the computer wasn't good enough.

Luckily, Chen Qingsong's computer was bought last year before computer parts prices went up. The graphics card, CPU, and other components were all top-notch, costing him nearly ten thousand yuan. With this year's mining craze, if he wanted to sell it, he could even make a profit!

He clicked to play the movie: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

This was a movie that had been out for years, with plenty of 8K sources online. Chen Qingsong had seen it before.

But when the image appeared—spaceships, battles—it felt like being there, lifelike, far beyond what 1080P or 2K movies could match!

Seeing the movie's visuals, Chen Qingsong said excitedly, "Just like the Content Creators recommended, the picture quality is amazing!"

Xie Yunwei nodded in agreement, "And the projector's built-in speakers are really good too. It's a total treat!"

Turning his head, Xie Yunwei said with some skepticism, "This is way too impressive, are you sure this is a projector you bought for five thousand? You didn't miss a zero, or even two zeros, and it actually cost fifty thousand, or five hundred thousand?"

Chen Qingsong affirmed, "You're just making a fuss over nothing, it's five thousand!" He then picked up his phone to check his JD.com order, confirming it once more.

Turning back to look at the wall, where the clarity was clearly distinct from a monitor, a thought popped into Chen Qingsong's mind. Could it be that the store had set the price wrong?

As the movie's plot progressed, one stunning grand scene after another appeared, leaving Xie Yunwei, who was watching alongside him, dumbfounded. He absolutely refused to believe this was something five thousand could achieve.

The two of them kept at it, blatantly slacking off, and finally caught the boss's attention.

Coming over from his own work area to the corner of the office, the boss put on a stern face and said:

"What are you two doing?"

"It's still work hours. Even if there's nothing much going on lately, don't watch a movie in the company like this!"

The boss's movement drew the attention of the other employees, who were immersed in games or movies and TV shows.

"Watching a movie? What kind of movie? Not some adult film, is it?"

"Whoa, impressive, monitors aren't enough for you anymore?"

"You even set up a projector, nice!"

"This projector actually looks pretty good!"

Chen Qingsong's planned test hadn't ended right away because he was too stunned by the spectacular scenes from the 8K high-definition movie. Then it attracted the attention of the boss and a few other staff members in the company, who all came over to take a look.

"Hey, what projector is this? The effect is actually really good!" The well-traveled boss also noticed something unusual. The company did have projectors, and the office one had even cost a full twenty thousand, but its projection quality was just so-so—you could see the content clearly.

But now, what was he seeing? In broad daylight with plenty of light, a clear image about forty inches in size was projected onto the office wall, and the picture quality was amazing!

"This is really clear!" The boss even reached out and touched the wall to confirm there wasn't a screen installed there.

"This must have cost a lot, right?" After confirming it wasn't a screen, the boss asked curiously.

Xie Yunwei jumped in to answer, "Not much, just five thousand!"

The boss found it hard to believe such a good projector could be bought so cheaply. "Five thousand? Are you joking? Tell me the truth!"

Chen Qingsong pulled out his phone and said helplessly, "It really is five thousand. Why would I lie to you? I have the purchase record here. I placed the order just last night. I saw a video online reviewing projectors, and they hyped this one up to the skies, so I gritted my teeth and bought one to try. I never expected the effect to be this great!"

The boss took the phone, looked at it, then raised his head and said, "Then why don't you test it a few more times to see if there are any issues? If not, I'll buy one too!"

Glancing at the people gathered around, the boss continued, "Oh, and it's not convenient here. Let's go to the conference room."

"That's fine!" Chen Qingsong said, a bit speechless. He turned off the projector and packed up his computer.

Around his workstation, the other colleagues didn't leave either, all showing great interest.

"Forget it, let's all go take a look together. It's not like there's anything to do these past couple of days anyway," the boss said with a helpless shake of his head.

Hearing the boss's permission, everyone cheered.

"Awesome!"

"The boss is generous!"

"Best boss in the country!"

"Let's go watch a movie, hahaha!"

A group of about ten people swarmed into the conference room next door.

The projector was turned on, connected to the computer, and the angle was adjusted. This time, instead of projecting onto the wall, it was aimed at the full hundred-inch screen mounted on the office wall. The display effect was different again—even clearer!

"This clarity is like watching a movie in a theater!"

"Turn off the lights quick! Put on a movie!"

"Close the curtains!"

A few colleagues took the initiative to draw the curtains and turn off the lights in the conference room.

The projector's brightness shifted slightly, lowering to ensure a good display without making the image too harsh on the eyes.

The movie started, and the colleagues automatically adjusted their chairs to a good angle and began watching.

While watching the movie, everyone chatted about their impressions.

"This feels really good. I feel like it's even clearer than in the theater!"

"That's probably an illusion, but the display quality is definitely no worse than a theater!"

"I've watched this movie on a computer before, but now watching it on this high-definition projector, even though it's the same film, it feels like I've never seen it before. It's so much clearer!"

"Order placed! Order placed!"

"What do you think it'd be like watching adult films on this projector, hehehe!"

"Whoa, I've discovered a new world. I have to get one!"

"Those of you with dirty minds, don't bother. Most adult films have terrible source quality and won't achieve this effect."

"How do you know that? Tell me, have you done research?"

"Well, I have a forty-inch high-definition computer monitor at home!"

"Shh, keep it down and watch the movie, okay?"

"If only we had some popcorn and cola to go with it!"

"So frustrating. Suddenly I feel like the projector I bought for over twenty thousand last year is total garbage. I want to smash it!"

"This is seriously amazing~"

"According to what I've read online, the color gamut and color depth of 8K movies are both higher than 4K. In other words, the range of colors and the number of colors 8K can display exceed 4K, resulting in smoother color transitions—especially when showing light halos, where the color gradation around the light source feels more natural."

"8K resolution goes up to 7680x4320. When watching a movie, the contrast between light and dark, and the image quality comparison, are incredibly strong. That's why it delivers such clear, lifelike visuals~"

As they watched the movie, everyone chatted casually, and the company was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Soon, one movie ended. Now came the moment to showcase the real technology!

Having confirmed that the projector's display was sharp and met the advertised 8K quality, Chen Qingsong stopped holding back.

For the entire morning, the team conducted in-depth tests around this projector.

Playing League of Legends in 8K quality at a 144Hz refresh rate felt like it even boosted their skills. Chen Qingsong, controlling Demacia's Might, cut down gods and Buddhas alike!

This scene made several game-loving colleagues' eyes light up, and they eagerly requested to test more games.

Next came tests for Naraka: Bladepoint, Grand Theft Auto V, The Elder Scrolls, and other games.

The only slight disappointment was that most games didn't support 8K display. Perhaps it was because few machines could handle 8K graphics yet—maybe in a couple of years it would be better.

"This is insane! It can actually work as a monitor!"

"Totally unexpected path. Buying, buying, buying!"

"This is practically a treasure of a product, and it's only selling for five thousand!"

"Fifty bucks for a movie ticket. Watch a hundred movies and you've broken even. I'll buy one of these projectors myself, get a streaming membership, and enjoy it alone—or even bring a girl over to watch at home. Way better than a cinema, right? Hehehe!"

"How much does a cinema setup cost, anyway?"

"I heard it's at least a few million for a single system!"

After the entire testing process was done, everyone in the company placed an order for one projector—even the two girls didn't hold back!

The boss waved his hand generously and bought five units himself. Two were for home—one in the living room, one in the bedroom. Another three: one for the company to replace the previous twenty-thousand-yuan projector, and the last two for the elderly folks at home. Money really does let you be willful!

Chen Qingsong wasn't surprised by everyone's decision to buy the Phantom Projector. The product was simply too good—selling more was only natural.

That day, the remaining few content creators who had accepted review samples online gradually released their projector evaluation videos, allowing more people to see this unbeatable projector product.

Combined with buyers from yesterday who had received their projectors, tested them, and immediately turned into fans recommending the product to those around them, In just one day, Ning Yifan sold over sixty projectors!

At this rate, perhaps by tomorrow, the entire first batch of projectors would be sold out!

High-value, black-tech products really do make money this easily!
