375: Chapter 375 Stereotypes

Chen Guangke was a bit confused.

"Have them post what kind of video?"

Shen Yan smiled and replied, "Since we've introduced this mechanism, we naturally have to make the best use of it. Let them publish information about this incentive bonus."

Chen Guangke suddenly understood.

"You want to use short video content to attract everyone's attention and let people know that our software has such an incentive bonus?"

Shen Yan: "Since you understand, then hurry up and do it. Stop repeating this nonsense here."

Chen Guangke pouted and said, "I just need to confirm your idea, right? What if I misunderstand? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Shen Yan chuckled, "Alright, alright, you're the most reasonable, okay?"

Chen Guangke snorted without speaking and turned to leave directly.

The facts proved that Shen Yan's plan was indeed effective.

In less than half a day, the news that their software had an incentive bonus became known to everyone.

Not only users who downloaded their software, but users on other platforms also learned about it.

As the saying goes, nothing is better than something free.

As soon as they heard there was money to be picked up, everyone downloaded the software like crazy, wanting to grab the cash.

The momentum from the incentive bonus mechanism, coupled with the previously viral videos and memes,

Suddenly, the software's download volume directly surged to three hundred million.

Because this was unprecedented, Shen Yan became completely famous.

As the boss of the company that developed two hugely popular software applications, many people were curious about his true appearance.

Driven by curiosity, they dug up Shen Yan's account on the platform.

Since Shen Yan usually wouldn't post content on the platform, at most forwarding a few news items, people didn't get anything useful or any gossip from his account.

Although they didn't get any gossip, they still gathered to comment under the latest news item Shen Yan had forwarded.

["Is this the boss who is worth hundreds of millions at such a young age?"]

["He's already in his thirties, how can he still be considered young?"]

["Heh! Haven't you heard the saying? A man in his thirties is in his prime!"]

["Give it up. That boss might not even read the comments. What's the use of you flattering him here?"]

["I heard he works in IT, he must be bald, right?"]

["Hahahaha, you guys are mean. Stereotypes are bad!"]

["Although it's a stereotype, I really can't help but feel that people in IT aren't bald... Sorry. jpg"]

["Even if he's not bald, his hairline must have receded. Every technician I've met is like this..."]

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly and highly curious about Shen Yan's true appearance, Shen Yan convened a press conference.

To increase the buzz for the press conference, Shen Yan discussed it with Chen Guangke and Wu Ya, and they decided to conduct the conference as a live broadcast.

He currently had high popularity online.

If he could use this wave of popularity to continue building momentum for the project, he wouldn't mind being discussed online himself.

Making money... isn't shameful.

On the day of the press conference,

Shen Yan waited quietly with Jiang Yuan at the side.

It was two in the afternoon.

There were still two hours until the live broadcast of the press conference.

During these two hours, they not only had to wait for reporters but also for the live broadcast equipment to be debugged.

Just as Shen Yan was preparing to rehearse the press conference flow with Jiang Yuan, he suddenly noticed Jiang Yuan's face was extremely pale.

"Why is your face so white?"

Hearing the question, Jiang Yuan replied tremblingly, "I... I'm nervous."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's look of wanting to cry but having no tears, Shen Yan pursed his lips and said, "Don't overthink it. You only need to go up and briefly introduce the project."

Jiang Yuan knew his task was very simple.

But he had never needed to face the camera since childhood. Suddenly being asked to face the camera, he really couldn't help but feel nervous.

"I... I really can't do it. How about this, you go up yourself later, and if you forget anything, I'll remind you from below."

Shen Yan rejected the suggestion without hesitation.

If he went up to speak, the effect would definitely be greatly diminished.

He hadn't forgotten that his goal was to attract investors.

"You really don't need to be nervous. If you're still nervous, you can imagine the audience below as watermelons or other fruits."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Jiang Yuan shook even more violently.

"I... I did think about that, but I realized I can't treat living people like fruit. They talk and take pictures, I really can't..."

Seeing him starting to ramble incoherently, Shen Yan patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, "How about this, later you go up and present this project with your back to them?"

Jiang Yuan widened his eyes in surprise.

"Can we do that?"

Shen Yan smiled and replied, "Of course we can. I just need you to present the project to them. At most, you greet them first, then greet them again after you finish presenting."

Jiang Yuan hesitated slightly.

Although he was indeed very nervous, he didn't want to present his project this way, as it would make him feel like his project was somewhat shameful.

Seeing his conflicted hesitation, Shen Yan didn't force him.

"Anyway, you decide this matter yourself. If you really feel you cannot explain this project to the reporters, then turn your back to them. If you feel you can handle it, then face them directly."

"No matter what, we will support you."

Jiang Yuan looked at Shen Yan with a moved expression.

"Thank you, CEO Shen."

Shen Yan waved his hand without saying anything and turned to find Chen Guangke to go over the flow.

Backstage at the press conference,

Chen Guangke was looking at a pile of documents and questions.

Noticing Shen Yan entering backstage, he asked Shen Yan without turning his head, "How did you get in here? Shouldn't you be rehearsing the flow with Jiang Yuan right now?"

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan replied to him, "Jiang Yuan is too nervous. He can't rehearse the flow with me right now, so I had to come find you."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chen Guangke sighed.

"I already guessed he would be nervous. You really are something. Asking a researcher who only knows how to study projects to speak to the camera is really forcing someone to do something beyond their ability."

Shen Yan was displeased to hear this and clicked his tongue, "No matter what, he is an adult. Adults always have to face storms. He can't always hide in his small laboratory."

"Besides, if he truly feels he can't do it, then I won't force him."
