87: Chapter 87 Has something happened to the other side?

The venue, meant for five hundred people, was packed with over seven hundred, and nearly half of them raised their hands!

Because right now, earth rescue is incredibly popular... especially after the Moon Rental Incident!

It was simply a massive hit.

Currently, the Universal Cinema Circuit has allocated 50% of its screens to earth rescue. Even so, the daily attendance rate exceeds 90%. Its cumulative box office earnings continue to surpass milestones... It is currently the box office champion, leaving the runner-up far behind! It has become the undisputed dark horse of this year's National Day movie season...

Furthermore, it has a chance to break into the top three highest-grossing Xia-language films of all time...

Zhang Baiyi looked at the dense forest of raised hands below and nodded. "Since everyone has seen it, I can rest easy! There is a type of communication device in the movie—does everyone remember it?"

"The wrist machine..." many people in the audience shouted.

"That's right, the wrist machine... We at Black Fish Technology have built it!"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience...

Everyone who had seen the movie was deeply impressed by the powerful functions of the wrist machine.

But no one had ever thought that the wrist machine would become a reality...

Zhang Baiyi spoke those words casually...

But the sensation they triggered was world-class.

After waiting for the audience to quiet down, Zhang Baiyi continued, "I see that many industry titans and seniors are here today, so I'd like to invite one of you to help me demonstrate the use of the wrist machine... No matter how much I say, it's better to let everyone see the effects directly!"

"Those who have seen the movie know of the wrist machine, but might not believe in it. Those who haven't seen the movie might know nothing about it at all... Xiawei is Black Fish Technology's best partner. President Zhou... would you be interested in assisting me?"

Zhou Lei nodded...

"I am honored to witness the launch of the wrist machine! This is an epoch-making, historic product! President Gao of Black Fish Technology actually gave me one earlier... To be honest, when I received this gift, I felt a sense of trepidation and even sadness, because I knew that the era of the smartphone was coming to an end! That's why we at Xiawei have recently begun shifting our business... Here, I would also like to thank Nine Stars for pushing against the trend and helping us recover quite a few losses!"

Those in the audience who had seen the movie were already mourning for Nine Stars...

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Li Bingxi sat below the stage while Cui Jinze was introducing the innovations of the Nine Stars New Era-01 phone one by one...

Whether in terms of performance, system optimization, or intelligence...

It was an impeccable phone, which was why Li Bingxi had chosen it to be the vanguard general of their assault!

"The New Era-01 is undoubtedly the most powerful phone on the market today, yet its price is not the highest! We at Nine Stars have always adhered to the principle of high quality at a low price, providing excellent products for the whole world..."

"Now, everyone can place orders for this phone at our offline stores and online flagship stores..."

"We've already discussed performance and the operating system, which is enough for tech enthusiasts, but it might not be tempting enough for some users... because we haven't mentioned one important parameter yet: photography! Without a doubt, mobile photography is currently the most popular way to take photos. Even if a phone has mediocre performance and a high price, it can still sell well as long as the photography is good! The Nine Stars New Era-01, in collaboration with Leica..."

As Cui Jinze was speaking...

Li Bingxi's assistant ran in with a panicked look, hurried to Li Bingxi's side, and whispered a few words.

Li Bingxi's expression changed drastically.

"What? How is that possible?"

"It's true, they are demonstrating it right now... President, you should go see for yourself. I... it's hard to describe!"

Li Bingxi was furious. "How can I go over there at a time like this? Are you sure the new product they're launching is the wrist machine? Not the Constant Temperature Clothing?"

"No... to be precise, they are launching the Constant Temperature Clothing and the wrist machine simultaneously, but the star of the show is the wrist machine!"

"What's the performance? Is it just an enhanced version of a smartwatch phone?"

Li Bingxi asked.

The assistant looked troubled. "President, you really should go see for yourself..."

Li Bingxi wanted to curse. What was wrong with this assistant? Their own product was being introduced, and he wanted him to run across the way to see someone else's product launch?

But he didn't even have to go... The guests who were originally seated below seemed to have caught a contagious disease, leaving one after another and running to the opposite side...

The venue quickly became empty.

In a hall for five hundred people, only a dozen or so people remained in the front row, making it look desolate...

Even the media at the back had fled!

Cui Jinze was extremely embarrassed on stage...

Should he keep talking or not!

Why did everyone run away?

Could something have gone wrong on the other side?

Li Bingxi glared fiercely at his assistant. "Let's go. Take me over there. I want to see exactly what this wrist machine is!"

He couldn't go before...

But now, the people in his own venue had all run off; those who remained were only there because they had been paid.

When Li Bingxi arrived at the opposite venue, it was so crowded he couldn't even squeeze in.

Just then, Gao Yuan's assistant, Shuishui, spotted Li Bingxi and walked up to greet him warmly. "President Li, our President Gao said that if you came over, you could use the VIP passage!"

Although Li Bingxi felt uneasy, he thought Gao Yuan was quite decent for looking out for him even at a time like this.

He followed Shuishui through the VIP passage into the venue and appeared directly in the front row...

Gao Yuan saw Li Bingxi arrive...

He stood up. "President Li, are you guys finished? Very efficient! Perfect timing. I was actually planning to find you after the press conference, but since you're here, it saves me the trip. I've prepared a small gift for you... our Black Fish Technology wrist machine!"

Dandan brought a box over to Li Bingxi.

Li Bingxi opened it...

"This... is the wrist machine?"

"Yes, a little gadget. It looks very cool when paired with the Constant Temperature Clothing..."

Li Bingxi's expression was a bit strained. "Is that so?"

"Of course... President Li, take my seat. I have to go on stage! This small gift is to thank you for helping us promote the wrist machine earlier!"

Looking at Black Fish Technology's packed venue, Li Bingxi felt a sense of unease. He had arrived too late to see Zhang Baiyi and Zhou Lei's demonstration of the wrist machine...

At this moment, everyone in the audience was in awe...

The wrist machine... was too powerful.

At this time, Kang Guang stepped onto the stage. "Everyone has seen it, right? You can probably understand the shock I felt back then... Just like you, it took me a long time to snap out of it! However... since this is a press conference, we shouldn't just know how to use it, we also need to introduce the specifications... Next, let's welcome the founder of Black Fish Technology, Gao Yuan, to the stage!"

Gao Yuan pressed Li Bingxi into his seat. "President Li, I'm heading up..."

Li Bingxi looked at the people sitting next to him; they were all big shots in the mobile phone industry...

Each one of them looked at him with eyes full of pity, mockery, and sympathy...

He didn't understand what was going on. Gao Yuan was acting the same as before, very warm toward him!

But...
