Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1392 - Remote Live-Stream News Conference

Chapter 1392: Remote Live-Stream News Conference

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

January 9th, Wednesday afternoon…

At Otto Technologies’ news conference.

The location was still the same, in the banquet hall of the Oasis Four Seasons Hotel.

Many reporters from the tech media and Tengda’s fans had already arrived. There were no empty seats at the venue. Some had not even obtained tickets and were standing at the door to watch.

The news conference had not officially started, so the audience in the venue were discussing. They were filled with antic.i.p.ation for the new product that Otto Technologies was going to release.

“Ah, it’s another year. Oh, no. It’s Boss Chang’s monologue crosstalk performance that’s held once every half a year. I wonder what work Boss Chang is going to give us this time?”

“I gave 99 points for the smart fitness drying rack previously. I was afraid that Vice-President Chang would be proud if I gave him less!”

“Indeed, I feel that the smart fitness drying rack should be at the peak of its performance. It’s very difficult to have such epochal products again. I just have to not deteriorate this time.”

“Speaking of which, at the smart fitness drying rack last time, I thought that it was a performance after watching the entire news conference. I didn’t expect it to really sell out in the end. It was even out of stock for a period of time. That’s ridiculous!”

“I hope that the thing released this time will take up a smaller s.p.a.ce. I’m quite envious of the smart fitness drying rack, but I really don’t have any s.p.a.ce to put it at home.”

“Hmm… I think your expectations might fail. According to my observations, Otto Technologies’ new products must be unexpected. If you already have the expectation that ‘I hope this thing is small’, things would definitely go against your wishes in the end.”

“It’s also possible that you’re looking forward to Otto Technologies’ performance, but Vice-President Chang isn’t?”

Those who were not chatting were a little bored because the content on the big screen was the same as before. It was still keywords like ‘Otto Technologies’, ‘intelligent life’, ‘healthy life’, ‘convenient life’, and ‘efficient life’.

He did not reveal any information about the new product.

However, this made the entire news conference even more mysterious and exciting.

“Please take your seats and remain silent. The news conference will start soon. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”

AEEIS’s electronic voice came from the sound system. The lights in the venue were gradually extinguished, and the audience quietened down.

“h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m a friend often.”

“Welcome, everyone, to the news conference of Otto Technologies’ new smart products. On behalf of all the employees of Otto Technologies, I thank everyone for coming!”

Hearing Chang You’s familiar voice, the audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

“Vice-President Chang! I missed you so much after not seeing you for half a year!”

“What is Vice-President Chang up to today? Come, I can take it!”

“Hurry up and tell me the price. I’ll order it once you’re done!”

“Eh, where’s Vice-President Chang?”

After the applause and cheers, the audience realized that something was amiss.

Why did he only hear his voice but not see him?

Chang You greeted the audience, but the stage was empty. No one could see him.

Most of the audience fell silent. Only a few people thought of something and laughed.

Immediately after, an image appeared on the big screen. On an deserted island, the sea breeze blew. There were a few coconut trees nearby. One could also see the beach and the rising and falling tide.

Chang You was dressed in a set of Suffering Travels training clothes. He greeted everyone in front of the camera.

Chang You looked much better than before. However, he was obviously tanner and thinner.

The audience hesitated for a moment before bursting into laughter.

“Hahahaha what the h.e.l.l! Vice-President Chang, where are you?”

“What did I say! I watched Teacher Qiao’s live-stream previously. Boss Chang was among them!”

“We just changed the indoor training ground to an outdoor venue. It’s an deserted island.”

“Good lord, it’s not easy for Vice-President Chang to work overtime to sing monologue to us while suffering! I strongly suggest giving Vice-President Chang one more month of paid leave to play on the island for one more month!”

“They could have held a news conference directly at the news conference, but they started the performance without even announcing the product?”

“It can’t be said to be a performance. I believe Boss Chang wants to come to the scene more than any of us.”

“Do you want to come to the scene in person? As long as you can stop suffering on this island, Vice-President Chang will definitely be willing to go anywhere!”

“Vice-President Chang is working too hard. Just suffer. It doesn’t matter if Jiang Yuan were to hold the news conference once in a while.”

“That won’t do. We’re listening to Boss Chang’s monologue. A news conference without Boss Chang would not be complete!”

“Jiang Yuan? Do you think Jiang Yuan is not on that island?”

“Hahaha, that’s right. They went together!”

The audience could not hold it in anymore seeing Chang You’s state. They could feel the rich atmosphere of joy.

If other companies encountered such a situation, they would definitely either replace him at the news conference or arrange for Chang You to fly back in advance.

However, Tengda was different. They directly created a connection and transported the live-stream equipment to the island over there. Then, they asked Chang You to hold this news conference remotely.

In any case, this project had been more or less developed before Chang You went to suffer. Chang You knew the project very well. What’s more, the powerpoint content for this news conference had been prepared. Chang You could talk about it as long as he was prepared. He could also escape the torture of the afternoon. There was no reason to reject him.

Chang You said helplessly, “To be honest, I didn’t expect to meet everyone under such circ.u.mstances. I have to start from Suffering Travels…”

After briefly explaining his experience of suffering, the audience burst into laughter and applause.

However, Chang You did not say much. After all, the entire news conference was limited to one hour. He had to control the time and race against time.

Soon, Chang You’s video was cut into a small window and placed in the corner of the big screen. The main part of the big screen displayed the contents of the news conference.

“Alright, let us directly enter the price segment of this news conference’s new product!”

“Entry Set Meal 5800, Advanced Set Meal 6800, Luxury Set Meal 9999!”

As Chang You explained, three different set prices appeared on the screen.

The audience laughed again when they saw this familiar “missed two hours” segment.

“Something’s not right. We should announce the price directly. After this segment, we can watch the performance without any burdens!”

“The price this time is even more expensive. The smart fitness drying rack was only sold for 4,999 yuan the last time. The price has increased again this time? The entry-level version is 5800 yuan? The luxury version is directly 10,000 yuan!”

“What new product would it be this time?”

“I really don’t want to go through the process. I’ll say ‘sorry’ directly, but I’ll guess what it is first! It’s still acceptable if it’s something like 85 inch high-end television that is sold at this price.”

Chang You did not stay in this segment for long. He continued to enter the ‘guessing game’ section.

The specific size of the product appeared on the big screen: 130 cm x 130 cm x 115 cm, taking up 1.69 square meters of s.p.a.ce.

There was also a bracket explanation at the back: There was a difference in size of each package.

This 130 cm was mainly considering the width of the entire equipment with a fish screen monitor or three monitors. There would be differences if different plans were used. It might be longer or shorter.

Everyone was even more confused when they saw this size.

“It’s much smaller than the smart fitness drying rack, but this size doesn’t seem like a serious product.”

“Why are there fluctuations in different package sizes?”

“It looks like this set meal is made up of many products. The size of the set meal will also change according to the size of the different products…”

Immediately after, the image of Chang You’s small window disappeared. A video started playing on the screen.

However, what confused people was that the video did not look like a promotional video.

That was because the promotional video would definitely be very detailed and have a good scenery. There would be handsome men and beautiful women inside.

However, the clarity of this video was very poor. It seemed to be a scene in a car. The person in the mirror was also an ordinary person. It looked like a rough image taken by a car camera.

The electronic sound system sounded. “I’ve successfully verified your ident.i.ty. Please start. Complete the exam according to the voice message.”

“You did not put on your seatbelt. The exam ended. You did badly.”

The man in the video looked left and right, his face filled with confusion.

He even checked the seat belt beside him. There was no problem. Wasn’t it already done?

Thus, he looked right and extended his head out of the window, as if asking for the help of the examination hall staff.

At that moment, the voice of the examination hall staff came from outside the car. “Candidate number 54, why are you sitting in the pa.s.senger seat?”

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this.

“Hahahaha!”

“I’m dying of laughter. This is the fastest way to fail!”

“I felt that something was amiss. At first, I thought it was a mirror image, but he was actually sitting in the pa.s.senger seat! The seatbelt was indeed set, but there was no one in the main driver!”

“Hahaha, why are you asking why I’m sitting in the pa.s.senger seat? Of course I’m sitting in the pa.s.senger seat if I don’t have a driver’s license!”

“Don’t mess around. This must be a new test with a driver’s license!”

Right on the heels of that, the video showed even more confusing behavior.

For example, the coach stood outside looking like he had nothing to live for when the car went into the warehouse.

The warehouse had been filled with cell phones. However, a coach had crashed into it when it was being emptied. The other students had rushed over to save the cell phones under the wheels, but they had failed.

Someone was in the waiting hall with his eyes closed, holding a stainless steel washbasin with both hands as the steering wheel. His left foot and right foot alternated between stepping on the pedals, as if recalling driving skills out of thin air.

In addition, some crashed into the outer wall of the driving school, some drove the car into a ditch, and some drove the driving school coach up a tree. Eight of the ten students of the driving school died with a look of despair…

All in all, there were all sorts of driving licenses and strange recordings of the driving examination.

What’s more, this was not a promotional video that had been specially filmed. They were all real videos found online!
