112: Because the actual product is even more stunning than the pictures online!

At 7:58 PM.

Countless viewers were gathered in front of their televisions, computers, and phones, eagerly anticipating the broadcast.

Some held late-night snacks or freshly delivered takeout, ready to eat while watching.

Aside from the absence of firecrackers, various red decorations, and a festive New Year atmosphere, this scene, at first glance, closely resembled the countless families eating reunion dinners and watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.

"Director Wang! The TV station's viewership has already broken its all-time high, reaching 15.4 points!"

Backstage.

TV station staff excitedly reported the real-time data!

It's important to know that while CCTV Finance's viewership within CCTV channels isn't low, across all TV channels, it can only be considered average.

Here, 15.4 means that out of all the more than one hundred channels currently broadcasting nationwide, 15.4% of viewers chose to watch their program.

"Good! Very good! Continue to monitor the data in real-time and report to me at any time!"

Wang Zhibing's smile had reached his ears.

Indeed, catering to the market and producing more topics that people currently enjoy is the best way to increase viewership!

The invitation of Su Yu and the elders from the national currency Research Center was the best proof!

He could already foresee that after the program began, the viewership would likely continue to soar!

...Beep, beep, beep, beep—

The clock for the exact time entered its final countdown.

In front of the TV, the dial began to turn.

Five, four, three, two, one.

As the second hand pointed to the exact time, the scene on the screen suddenly changed!

A deep and melodious chime sounded, and a low, solemn pure music lingered in the ears. On the TV, a magnificent scene spanning ancient and modern history began to flow backward like a river of time.

From the development of humanity to the origin of trade.

From bartering to the emergence of currency.

Humans began to exchange valuable items for food, beautiful shells for daily necessities, and equivalent items for exchange.

Until the first appearance of hard currency like gold and silver.

The First Emperor unified currency, the appearance of copper coins, the appearance of money printing, and various currencies developing into different shapes.

Approaching modern times, paper money first appeared on the stage of human history... In just three minutes, the film introduced the origin and development history of currency.

When the music stopped, the final scene gradually faded into darkness.

With a soft "snap."

A white beam of light shone from above onto the completely dark screen.

Yan Bingbing, dressed in ancient attire, walked towards the light, smiling gracefully, with every step a picture of elegance.

"Welcome everyone to 'Seeking Coins Through Time,' a special program created by CCTV Finance, airing at 8 PM during prime time. I am your Host, Yan Bingbing!"

"Welcome everyone!"

Her clear and pleasant voice, like a nightingale emerging from a valley, captured everyone's attention the moment she spoke.

"Hahahaha, it’s started, it’s finally started!"

"How did Reporter Bingbing turn into Host Bingbing today? But no matter how Bingbing changes, I'll always like her!"

"As expected of CCTV, that documentary segment just now was clearly extraordinary, simply too exciting."

"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait! When will Brother Su make his appearance!!"

"Don't worry, I heard the Streamer has already completed a full set of currency production in advance, and won't be wasting time on site today. It will definitely be a direct display then."

"Ah? A direct display! Then what are we waiting for, hurry up!"

In front of their TVs, elderly uncles and aunties could only stare anxiously at the Host. Meanwhile, the younger generation was already interacting online.

"Today, in addition to our main guest, the program team has also specially invited three national treasure-level currency research experts to appreciate with us."

"Next, let's welcome our three teachers with a round of warm applause!"

As Yan Bingbing's words fell, thunderous applause erupted, and the three Huaxia Country currency research experts made their grand entrance with steady steps!

Although all three experts were already nearing their seventies, they were still full of vigor and glowing with health.

Under Yan Bingbing's introduction, they waved as they walked towards the commentary seats and took their places.

"Alright, after the introduction just now, everyone has now met our country's very famous currency research experts."

"We sincerely thank them for coming today."

"So, the task of commentary and popular science will be entrusted to the three teachers later. Teachers, you've worked hard!"

Yan Bingbing held the microphone, gracefully managing the live broadcast.

"Next, the final invitee is the main guest of 'Seeking Coins Through Time'—Su Yu!"

"I believe I don't need to introduce him; the audience here and in front of their TVs must already know who he is."

"Let's welcome Mr. Su Yu to the stage!!"

Grand background music began to play.

Su Yu, carrying an exquisite locked leather case, squinted his eyes and slowly walked out onto the path illuminated by spotlights.

This was his first time appearing on a televised program, and for some reason, he felt a strange, subtle nervousness.

Before going on stage, he had already clearly explained to Wang Zhibing.

Today, his livestream channel would be fully controlled by the on-site staff.

Through the large screen directly in front of the stage, he could see his livestream channel at any time.

He could also respond to various questions from his audience and fans in his livestream channel immediately.

"Good evening, everyone! I am Su Yu."

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and so have I!"

"Invited by CCTV Finance, I have brought a newly designed complete set of currency here. Today, the initial design of the currency will be displayed for the first time."

"So, without further ado, let's begin today's official display!"

As he spoke, Su Yu placed the small leather case in front of him on the small display stand.

The stand was already covered with ultra-high-definition cameras from various angles.

The director could switch and adjust the cameras at any time, ensuring that the audience could see the full appearance of the currency from every angle.

The first piece Su Yu took out of the box was precisely the 10-national currency denomination that had been exposed and most widely circulated online earlier.

The entire currency was predominantly blue, similar to the color of the current 10-national currency of Huaxia Country.

However, upon closer inspection, one would find that whether it was the layout design, the texture of the currency, or the luster of the ink, Su Yu's new currency was completely different from the 10-national currency.

Just at first glance, everyone was stunned by the magnificent and majestic Black Tortoise divine beast!

Previously, some people online said that the photos leaked by the program team were processed and might not match reality.

But today.

The new currency, making its first appearance on camera, fiercely slapped the online trolls with its lifelike Black Tortoise divine beast.

Who said online images are all deceptive?

Indeed, they were all deceived by the leaked online images! Because the physical item was even more stunning than the online images!
