21: He Chendong attended the press conference and supported Kunlun System

Lu Xingye entered the press conference venue twenty minutes early; the conference had not yet begun.

In front was a huge floor-to-ceiling screen, emblazoned with the four characters 'Suihuo Technology' in a strong, vigorous script, accompanied by the Jiuzhou style logo.

It looked like a combination of science and art, very high-end and grand.

"Student Lu, you're here?" He Chendong turned his head, looked at Lu Xingye, and greeted him with a smile.

"I'm the chairman of Suihuo Technology, coming to my company's product launch, isn't that normal? But you, as the school's entrepreneurship director, why are you here too?"

"..."

Who talks like that?

Hearing Lu Xingye's teasing, He Chendong didn't know how to respond.

He was too sharp-tongued!

After a moment of silence.

He Chendong looked at Kunlun System's marketing plan and asked softly:

"Kunlun System uses a monthly subscription model for marketing, which is a bit aggressive. Aren't you afraid users won't buy it?"

"As long as we optimize Kunlun System well and it can speed up phone operation, then we won't be afraid of users not buying it. One must be strong to strike iron. I naturally have enough confidence in my product," Lu Xingye said indifferently.

This marketing plan was modeled and calculated by the artificial intelligence Jarvis, and it is currently the fastest way to make money; there are no problems with the strategy.

"Haha..."

He Chendong gave a dry laugh; he had studied Kunlun System, and Kunlun System was indeed much better than Android System and iOS System.

Student Lu certainly had the confidence to say that.

"After the press conference, I'll apply to the school to collaborate with alumni to promote it for you."

"That would be excellent. Thank you," Lu Xingye thanked him earnestly, feeling a little excited inside.

Yan University, in conjunction with its alumni, endorsing and promoting Kunlun System would definitely create an explosive effect.

As the leading university in Jiuzhou, Yan University already possesses immense power and has an extraordinary influence both in Jiuzhou and globally.

Furthermore, Yan University's alumni are spread all over the world.

Many doctors, executives, and research talents in Jiuzhou... all graduated from Jiuzhou.

If Yan University and these alumni were to jointly promote it.

The effect would absolutely be explosive.

He would count money until his hands cramped.

"You're welcome."

"Just don't forget your alma mater after you soar to great heights."

"Today you are proud of the school, tomorrow the school should be proud of you."

"As Kunlun System takes off, breaking the Western technological monopoly and giving Jiuzhou its own system, our Yan University will also share in the glory."

As He Chendong spoke, the several school leaders beside him also nodded slightly.

Clearly, this joint endorsement by the school and alumni was not He Chendong's personal decision, but a decision made by the entire Yan University.

As they chatted, more than ten minutes had passed, and the press conference was drawing nearer.

Lu Xingye sat quietly in his chair, waiting for the press conference to begin.

Behind the main stage were the seats for reporters and news media.

Many seats were still empty, and very few media reporters had actually shown up.

Chen Dahua was a media reporter for Today News.

After setting up his cameras, aiming them at the press conference screen, he sat in his seat, dozing off.

Even though the press conference was about to begin, he couldn't muster any energy; he had stayed up all night yesterday rushing a manuscript, and now his editor-in-chief had dragged him here as a grunt.

He didn't understand why his editor-in-chief called him to attend a press conference for such a small company.

Many small company product launches are just gimmicks, either the host is bragging about their company to boost its visibility, or they're showcasing small products with no news value.

In short.

He was no longer interested in product launches by such small companies.

Chen Dahua had searched online for information about Suihuo Technology.

Suihuo Technology Co., Ltd.

The name sounded impressive, but in reality, it was just a new company established less than a month ago. It was a startup project supported by Yan University, and even its actual office space was borrowed from the school.

What kind of product could such a small company launch?

And what capability did it have to launch a product?

Perhaps this was just a few students messing around together.

How boring.

Another pointless press conference.

He should have just stayed in bed and slept; coming here to attend a press conference was a complete waste of life.

In fact, he wasn't the only one with this thought; other reporters present also felt the same, each looking down at their phones, and some even pulled out their phones to play games.

About five more minutes passed.

The product launch officially began.

Chen Dahua raised his camera, aimed it at the screen on the podium, and adjusted the camera's focus with both hands. He tried to find something to do so he wouldn't fall asleep so easily.

"How many of the invited guests have arrived?"

Zhao Dawei came backstage at the press conference and asked the newly hired administrative assistant.

Liao Jingjing was the planner for this product launch; she was responsible for inviting media workers and guests.

"Aside from the leaders of Yan University, no one else has come."

"I personally visited famous mobile phone manufacturers and accessory makers in the Imperial Capital, but for some reason, none of them came," Liao Jingjing said with a hint of grievance.

She was also a fresh graduate from Yan University, joined Suihuo Technology for an internship last week, full of ambition to make a big impact, but never expected reality to be so harsh.

"It's okay."

"As long as the Yan University leaders are here, that's enough."

"It doesn't matter if other irrelevant people come or not."

Zhao Dawei patted Liao Jingjing's shoulder. The general manager, who was like a beginner in deep water, had become not only more persuasive in his speech but also much more mature after nearly a month of training.

"Then how many news media reporters have come?"

"I invited over a hundred, but only eight actually showed up. Today News, Phoenix News, Imperial Capital Daily..."

"It's much fewer than expected. But it doesn't matter... those reporters who didn't come to our press conference will regret it," Zhao Dawei murmured.

Subsequently.

He took the microphone, held the screen remote control, and gradually walked out from backstage.

As Zhao Dawei appeared, the spotlight shone on him. Music played from the podium, drawing everyone's attention.

Zhao Dawei picked up the microphone and showed a magnetic smile.

"Hello, everyone."

"I am Zhao Dawei, the general manager of Suihuo Technology."

"This is probably the worst product launch of the year. We invited over two hundred media outlets, but only 8 actually showed up. We also invited hundreds of mobile phone manufacturers, but not a single one came."

Listening to Zhao Dawei's self-deprecating way of speaking, the few reporters in the venue couldn't help but chuckle.

Chen Dahua also perked up a bit.

Damn, this general manager of Suihuo Technology is a talent! He openly mocked hundreds of media reporters.

What kind of company is Suihuo Technology, don't you have a clue yourself?

Interesting!

Interesting!
