77: Sugon Technology's big move?
Upon seeing this scene, the reporters naturally showed curious eyes, wanting to understand the truth.
A few days prior, they had been trying to interview Shuguang Technology and Lin Chen for related news, but unfortunately, Lin Chen had never given them the opportunity.
Just as they were preparing to return after staying in Peng City for three days, having only gathered insignificant news, Shuguang Technology finally made a big move.
Seeing this, the reporters were naturally greatly excited, and they all flocked to the location where Shuguang Technology was holding an event in Huaqiangbei, wanting to see what Shuguang Technology intended to do.
...
Peng City, Huaqiangbei, SEG Plaza Plaza.
At this moment, the SEG Plaza Plaza was crowded with hundreds of reporters and thousands of passersby.
Outside a temporary isolation zone, people were discussing animatedly as they watched what was happening inside.
"Is Shuguang Technology going to drop phones again?!"
"Probably, since they've isolated such a large open space!"
"It's the same old trick; I'm sick of watching phones being dropped."
"Yeah, dropping a phone from a high-rise doesn't mean good quality; it just means it's durable. There might even be a possibility of faking it."
"I heard that Shuguang Mobile Phone is a refurbished phone. What's the use of external durability if the inside of the phone is so bad?"
"Indeed, I have heard about this matter. It is said that Lin Chen, the boss of Shuguang Mobile Phone, started out by refurbishing phones.
A few days ago, I heard he was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was eventually released due to insufficient evidence. What's the point of him doing these activities now? Durability doesn't necessarily mean good phone quality."
"Hey, don't talk like that. While he might have refurbished phones before, that was then, and this is now.
Lin Chen has already turned legitimate, so how could he continue to refurbish phones? After all, refurbishing phones is illegal and criminal; if caught, he would go to jail."
"Exactly, well said. Those who say Shuguang Mobile Phone is a refurbished phone are simply brainless.
That was then, this is now. How could Shuguang Mobile Phone be a refurbished phone?!
Shuguang Mobile Phone can play Little Tyrant console games, which truly created the first case in the country, and they also developed a domestic mobile phone operating system, breaking the monopoly of foreign mobile phone systems.
With these two innovative breakthroughs, we have no need to have such a great prejudice against Shuguang Mobile Phone."
"Indeed, we won't talk about how the boss started out. All crows are black; which boss who started from scratch was completely upright and without any blemishes?
Moreover, the quality of the old Dawn Mobile Phone was indeed good; it was only after Ke Hanliang took office that the quality of Dawn Mobile Phone declined."
"Exactly, Shuguang Mobile Phone is Shuguang Mobile Phone, and Dawn Mobile Phone is Dawn Mobile Phone.
Now, Shuguang Mobile Phone is definitely not a refurbished phone. He has no need to risk going to jail to refurbish phones."
"Indeed, those who say Shuguang Mobile Phone is a refurbished phone are brainless. We should not have too much prejudice against Shuguang Mobile Phone, as he has already turned legitimate."
The people on site were discussing animatedly, mainly divided into two factions.
One faction supported Shuguang Mobile Phone, believing that the fact that Shuguang Mobile Phone's boss started out by refurbishing phones was nothing significant and could be tolerated.
The other faction criticized Lin Chen for his past history of refurbishing phones, thus holding inherent prejudice and discrimination against Shuguang Mobile Phone.
However, judging from the current proportion of people on site, the prejudice against Shuguang Mobile Phone was not as great as imagined.
At least it was much smaller than the proportion of negative public opinion on the internet; roughly 7 out of 10 people supported Shuguang Mobile Phone, while 3 did not support it and held prejudice and discrimination against Shuguang Technology.
This shows that while many people on the internet fiercely criticized Shuguang Mobile Phone, in reality, people become much more rational.
After all, criticizing fiercely on the internet costs nothing and no one bothers them, but in reality, too many factors need to be considered.
Therefore, as time passes, people will become calmer and their perspective on things will become more neutral.
At this moment, a somewhat familiar figure to the citizens of Huaqiangbei slowly walked to the center of the stage.
"That's Lin Chen!"
"It is indeed Lin Chen; I remember his appearance."
"A few days ago, it was said he was invited to the police station for questioning, but it seems he really has been released."
...
Some citizens who saw Lin Chen became restless, as Lin Chen had sold phones on the streets of Huaqiangbei many times, and many citizens of Huaqiangbei recognized him.
"Click, click, click, click, click, click, click..."
Hundreds of reporters on site pressed their camera shutters, causing the lights to flash wildly.
"It's all superficial. What's the use of just these dozens of stores doing an event together?"
Among the crowd, Liu Zirong, who had rushed to see the situation after hearing that Shuguang Technology had a big move, said dismissively.
When Shuguang Technology was facing immense negative public opinion pressure, Liu Zirong had thought that Shuguang Technology would spend a large sum of money on TV advertisements to try and reverse the negative public opinion trend.
But unexpectedly, after holding back for a few days, Shuguang Technology only managed to create such a small-scale event, not spending a large sum of money on advertising on major TV stations.
Instead, Shuguang Technology merely held phone-dropping activities in commercial buildings near its 42 Shuguang Electronics Direct Stores.
The total cost of these 42 Shuguang Electronics Direct Stores holding activities together was estimated to be no more than 1 million.
It seems that Shuguang Technology truly disregards advertising and marketing. Faced with such negative public opinion, it only spent less than 1 million on activities!
Thinking of this, Liu Zirong's disdain grew, and a mocking curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Advertising and marketing are the most important. Shuguang Technology's disregard for advertising and marketing is self-destruction!
However, at this moment, Lin Chen had no idea what Liu Zirong was thinking. Lin Chen, who had arrived at the center of the stage, smiled and said:
"Recently, many media have published negative news questioning our Shuguang Mobile Phone, causing our Shuguang Mobile Phone to suffer huge losses in reputation.
For this, we have held clarification activities at the locations of our 42 Shuguang Electronics Direct Stores nationwide. These clarification activities primarily aim to demonstrate the craftsmanship and quality of our dawn a1 phone in person.
So that everyone no longer misunderstands our Shuguang Mobile Phone, and recognizes that Shuguang Mobile Phone is Shuguang Mobile Phone, and Dawn Mobile Phone is Dawn Mobile Phone!"
As Lin Chen finished speaking, two workers carried an office desk to the center of the stage.
"What are they going to do?"
"I don't know, but it sounds interesting."
"Yeah, I wonder how Shuguang Mobile Phone will prove their quality?"
...
The people on site started discussing again upon seeing this action, their eyes filled with curiosity, wondering what Lin Chen was up to.
At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the curious gazes directed at him, then smiled and said:
"It's useless to just talk about whether a phone's quality is good or not. To prove if a phone's quality is good, just smash it!"
