Chapter 1020: There’s No Boss Chang At The Press Conference?
May 3rd, Thursday...
5pm in the afternoon.
The news conference was still held in the banquet hall of the Oasis Four Seasons Hotel, the biggest five-star hotel in Jingzhou City, just like the OTTO E1 cell phone news conference.
They were at the same place and had similar products. However, the timing had been changed.
Previously, E1’s cell phone conference was held at 3 PM on Sunday. This time, G1’s cell phone conference was held at 5 PM on Thursday. What’s more, it was the first working day after the May Day holiday.
Obviously, Pei Qian had specifically chosen this time.
Chang You had set the timing for the news conference previously. Pei Qian had not asked about it. Now that he thought about it, there was a huge problem: Sunday was a holiday after all. There was too much traffic on the internet. Once the news conference was released, it immediately became popular on Aili Island and attracted widespread attention.
Thus, Pei Qian specially set the G1 cell phone’s news conference at this very awkward time.
First of all, this was the first working day after the May Day holiday. It was everyone’s first day at work, and they were probably very down. The work piled up during the holiday made most people anxious, and they should not be in the mood to pay attention to the news conference. Secondly, it was five o’clock at this time. Any earlier, the office workers might be able to get news of the news conference after their afternoon nap. Any later, say after seven in the evening, everyone would be home from work. They could also take the time to eat and watch the news conference.
That was why it was set for five o’clock. Everyone was in a state of wanting to go home and start thinking about what to eat tonight. They would definitely minimize the impact of this news conference!
The audience at the news conference this time was still mainly the loyal customers of the technology media and Jingzhou. They were all given tickets. The technology media from other cities would be reimbursed for their food, accommodation, and transportation fees.
In any case, he would not save where he could spend money.
Pei Qian arrived at the venue earlier than the previous time and found a seat.
The venue was filled with soothing and elegant music. The audience entered the venue one by one and took their seats. One could see many colleagues from the tech media taking photos with their cameras. The popularity seems to be much higher than the news conference on E1’s cell phone.
Pei Qian adhered to the principle of changing locations with every shot. During the previous news conference, he had sat in the corner of the venue. This time, he was seated in the middle and front row. In front of him were reporters from various tech media and video UP Masters.
Unlike the previous E1 cell phone news conference, the big screen this time did not light up at the official start of the news conference. Instead, it had already lit up in advance. Apart from the opening countdown, there were a few lines of words on it.
“Otto Technologies’ ‘Embrace the Future’ Sharing and Exchange Conference”
The words “Otto Technologies” were followed by the logo of Tengda Corporation and Otto Technologies. The words “Embrace the Future” were written in a special art form. It was most eye-catching.
The entire picture looked simple and generous, with a hint of technology.
Pei Qian did not pay much attention to it. It was a news conference, after all. It did not matter what the name was. Many cell phone manufacturers liked to do fancy things at news conferences. They would come up with strange names to highlight their class. For example, the ‘Multi-dimensional liquid cooling system’ was nothing more than adding some graphite to heat dissipation and making it sound good. However, there were still a few things that were similar.
In any case, G1 was going to be released at the news conference. It did not matter what it was called.
The two people sitting in front of Pei Qian were probably from the same tech media company. One of them was slightly older and had been guiding the younger brother on filming. He should be the more common ‘old bringing new’, bringing the company’s newcomers to the news conference to take a look and practice.
The news conference had not officially started. The two of them adjusted the equipment and casually took photos of the situation at the venue. Then, they started chatting.
“I wonder what kind of performance would Boss Chang bring to everyone today? I’m so looking forward to it.”
“Indeed, the speed recital at the news conference last year really amazed me. This is the first time I’ve seen a cell phone news conference like this. It’s really impressive.”
“It’s just that the timing is a little awkward. Other companies have holidays and news conferences at night. Why did Otto Technologies set a working day at 5 PM? It wouldn’t delay dinner, right?”
“No, Boss Chang is very good at holding a news conference. The last time, he only spoke for a total of one hour. What’s more, he spent most of his time talking about the cell phone’s shortcomings. I think it’s about the same this time. It must be extremely condensed. It can definitely be completed before seven or even around six.”
“Wait, I suddenly thought of a problem. I saw the news previously that Boss Chang is no longer in charge of Otto Technologies’ cell phone business. Then this news conference... wouldn’t have changed, right?”
“That can’t be, right? Boss Chang is indispensable to this news conference! It wouldn’t be the same if it were someone else!”
“That’s right, Boss Chang’s annual news conference is my source of joy. Don’t replace him!”
Pei Qian could not help but laugh to himself as he listened to their discussion.
Still thinking about Boss Chang?
Your Boss Chang is gone!
Pei Qian could not help but feel proud of his wise decision. It was a good thing that he had arranged for Chang You to be eliminated through the first-place-elimination system. Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a huge problem if there was a huge popularity every time the new cell phone was released, before he could even speak on stage?
Obviously, Chang You had played a huge part in setting such an awkward timing for the news conference.
Many people were not here for the product of the news conference but to listen to Chang You’s jokes.
Most people had the same thoughts as these two brothers. Even though they had heard that Chang You was no longer in charge of the cell phone department, they were still looking forward to Chang You’s news conference.
They felt that since Chang You was still at Otto Technologies and had not left, he had probably been promoted. He was originally only in charge of the cell phone business, but now he was handing the cell phone business to his subordinates to manage. He was now in charge of higher-level work.
Since that was the case, Chang You had to attend such an important news conference personally, right?
After all, many people had already linked Otto Technologies to Chang You. Without Chang You, the effect of the news conference would be greatly reduced.
One could imagine how disappointed the audience would be when Jiang Yuan were to go on stage today. They would all shout that they had been scammed and that the news conference would be stable.
Soon, it was time.
There was no warm-up video this time. It was just that the female voice that gave an introduction previously became AEEIS’s voice, reminding everyone that there was only an hour for the news conference. Please mute your cell phones, try not to leave their seats, collect the small gifts after the news conference, and so on.
At the same time, it was also announced that this news conference would be broadcasted live on multiple live-stream platforms. There was also a dedicated live-stream on Bunny Tail live-stream.
AEEIS’s voice was still a small surprise even though the warm-up video was gone.
At five o’clock, the lights were switched off. The audience immediately applauded and cheered.
“Boss Chang! Boss Chang! Boss Chang!”
“Eh...”
Many people were already cheering. The atmosphere was not like a news conference but more like a crosstalk theater.
Obviously, most of the audience had already decided in their hearts that the protagonist of Otto Technologies’ news conference would always be the protagonist.
However, the audience was stunned when the main speaker went on stage.
“Huh? Who is this?”
“Where’s Boss Chang?”
“Could it be that someone else has really changed? We want Boss Chang!”
The audience were all well-mannered people. They did not directly shout “RNM refund”, but it was obvious from everyone’s expressions and expressions that they were quite disappointed.
Strictly speaking, they were not deceived. After all, the publicity before the news conference had never said that Chang You was the main speaker. That was everyone’s wishful thinking.
However, if Boss Chang did not come, what was there to see at the news conference?
They could not hear the crosstalk anymore. The excitement of the news conference was going to plummet!
Jiang Yuan was also feeling a little awkward. However, he had already expected this situation to happen, so he still followed the script and finished his opening speech.
“I’m sorry to disappoint everyone. It’s not Boss Chang today.”
“Hello everyone, I am the new person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, Jiang Yuan.”
“First of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come to the ‘Future Embrace’ Exchange Conference at Otto Technologies. I would like to express my warm welcome on behalf of Boss Pei, Boss Chang, and all the employees of Otto Technologies. At the same time, it has been a year since Otto Technologies was established. I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of all the employees of Boss Pei, Boss Chang, and Otto Technologies!”
The applause was as loud as thunder.
After all, most of the people who came this time were loyal fans of Otto Technologies. The new person-in-charge expressed his gratitude to the fans on stage. Everyone had to support and give some response.
However, the discussion between the two brothers in front of Pei Qian exposed many of the audience’s true thoughts.
“It looks like this new person-in-charge is not bad, but he doesn’t have Boss Chang’s aura!”
“Indeed, his speech seems a little conservative. He seems introverted and genteel. He doesn’t seem to be able to move the atmosphere.”
“His eloquence is indeed a far cry from Chang Bi.”
“Let’s wait and see. Don’t count on the jokes. Let’s hope that the content of the news conference will be interesting.”
The audience immediately recognized the difference in eloquence between Jiang Yuan and Chang You the moment Jiang Yuan spoke even though the opening lines were smooth and there were no problems.
Chang You might have a legitimate technical background, he was very down-to-earth. When he stood on stage, he looked like a crosstalk actor. He had everything under control on stage and off stage, and the atmosphere at the venue was at ease.
What’s more, that sense of humor was inherently infectious.
However, Jiang Yuan did not have that kind of temperament at all. It even made people feel that he was a little timid. His words made people feel a little unconfident. It was difficult to even move the atmosphere normally.
Those who were looking forward to Boss Chang’s work were naturally disappointed.
However, as the saying went, the main speaker was not good enough but they could only hope that the content of this news conference would be more interesting since they were already here.
