164: The same product, released at the same time.

Three days later.

Dami Technology Company, R&D Department Headquarters, in the capital.

Lei Jun looked at the small black umbrella on the table, a look of relief on his face.

As expected, under the leadership of Director Liu of the R&D Department, the team redefined the R&D plan three days ago, adding several new functions on top of the original design.

Finally, the task was completed within the stipulated time.

"Mr. Lei, take a look, this is our smart umbrella after a comprehensive upgrade! It can not only directly connect to the Dami ecosystem, but also be managed synchronously using smart AI."

"Most importantly, we have also added all the highly requested features from the netizens."

"I have to say, the adaptive gyroscope technology and directional hydrophobic layer technology work surprisingly well here. They perfectly solve the users' pain points! It's hard to believe that these theories were proposed by fans in a Streamer's live broadcast room."

Director Liu excitedly introduced the upgraded smart umbrella to his boss, his heart equally thrilled.

Lei Jun was already well-acquainted with the specific functions of the product.

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Everyone did a great job completing this temporarily assigned task; thank you for your hard work."

"Now that R&D is successful, the next step is mass production. The quality inspection department must strictly control this final stage to ensure that the products delivered to consumers are flawless!"

"As for the product launch event, I've set the specific time for two days from now."

"At that time, Old Liu, your smart umbrella will be the first product to be showcased on stage. Remember to have someone send me the new version of the script in advance."

Lei Jun finished speaking, looking at the excited Director Liu.

It's important to know that the product launch event two days later is one of Dami Company's most important annual events. The dami automobile, as the focus of much attention, will definitely be the grand finale of the entire event.

And as the opening product, it is especially important at this time.

Lei Jun's choice to feature the smart umbrella first also implicitly showed his great satisfaction with this project.

"No problem, Mr. Lei!"

"This smart umbrella will definitely not disappoint you! We will surely fire the first shot of this new product launch event!"

...That afternoon.

Dami Technology Company's official website and its Kuaishou Dami account both announced the upcoming new product launch event.

As soon as the news broke, it instantly appeared on many public marketing accounts, attracting considerable attention.

Everyone had been waiting for this.

Dami Technology had announced at the beginning of the year that it would hold two to three product launch events this year, but the specific dates had not been set.

Now that the highly anticipated first product launch event finally had a confirmed date, how could people not be excited?

Moreover, this announcement not only revealed that the launch event would be held two days later at 3 PM, but also released the list of new products.

"Oh? Look quickly! The first product at this new product launch event is actually a smart umbrella!"

"Smart umbrella? How smart can an umbrella be? What does Mr. Lei mean by putting such a product first for promotion?"

"Speaking of umbrellas, this reminds me of that incredibly popular Streamer on Kuaishou."

"Yes, yes, yes, I knew the word 'umbrella' sounded familiar! Isn't Brother Su also researching a multi-functional umbrella recently?"

"Good heavens, they even overlapped? Two of my favorite bloggers chose to make the same thing! Tell me, did they intentionally plan this?"

"Hahahaha, look quickly, besides the product choice, didn't their timing also overlap? If I remember correctly, Su Yu said in his latest update that he estimates the multi-functional umbrella will also be completed in the next two days."

"Holy cow! This is interesting! Making the same product, and the release time is very likely on the same day. When it comes to comparison, won't it just be, whoever is worse is embarrassed?"

The spectators, eager for gossip and entertainment, got excited.

One is a national entrepreneur, known for prioritizing technology and being the king of cost-effectiveness, Lei Jun, Lei Busi.

The other is Su Yu, a new, highly popular handmade craft blogger on Kuaishou.

Both have verifiable achievements and are not ordinary people. If they truly clash, who will emerge victorious?

"By the way, wasn't it the netizens in Brother Su's live broadcast room who suggested he make a multi-functional umbrella?"

"So, does that mean Mr. Lei is taking the lead in declaring war on Brother Su this time?"

"Declaring war is a bit much, isn't it? They have no grudges, and there's no need to compare them over this. I think it's highly probable they just chose the same product."

"The betting is open! Who do you think will make a better product when they're finished, the Streamer's multi-functional umbrella or Mr. Lei's smart umbrella?"

"Then I'd definitely bet on Su Yu without hesitation. This guy is a formidable person who can hand-draw US dollars and manually craft a rocket model! Haven't you seen the Streamer's update? The multi-functional umbrella can have as many as 18 functions!"

"For an umbrella, you choose cost-effectiveness, so I'm betting on Mr. Lei!"

"..."

Lei Jun never expected that his unintentional action would cause such a stir on the internet.

Originally, the main event of this product launch event was the dami automobile.

But now, public opinion was gradually veering off course, focusing on umbrellas.

This... Lei Busi, who saw the online public opinion news, couldn't help but laugh and cry. He hadn't realized he had underestimated this young man's influence, who had inadvertently turned his product launch event into a product PK comparison event!

The unexpected surge of traffic was, ironically, given to the other party, which was absurd.

On the other side.

Su Yu's production of the multi-functional umbrella had also reached a fever pitch.

He had already prepared all the technology and materials needed for production. Two days! He only needed two days to build the item.

He also saw the news online when he was updating his status.

Dami Technology was also going to release a smart umbrella two days later, which made him feel a strange sense of pressure. But if he changed the release time, Su Yu felt it would be inappropriate.

His system task had a deadline of one week.

Delaying it by another day would mean releasing it on the very last day of the deadline. What if, he meant what if, he encountered some unexpected situation then, it would be a huge loss.

He had invested so much time, energy, and a large amount of prestige points, wasn't it all for the sake of successfully completing the task and gaining more prestige points?

This was like an investment.

No one wants to spend a lot of money on a bet, only to lose in the end due to a basic mistake like forgetting to operate.
