165: Launch, online press conference and offline press conference

Two days isn't a long time, nor is it short, but for Su Yu, it passed in a flash.

These two days, he immersed himself in his laboratory, engrossed in the research of the multi-functional umbrella. Fortunately, before he secluded himself, he made a special trip out to purchase groceries, filling the entire refrigerator to the brim, so he wouldn't go without food in this mountain villa.

Two days, 48 hours.

Aside from the normal 12 hours of rest each day, Su Yu dedicated all his remaining time to making the umbrella.

The difficulty of making this multi-functional umbrella was no less than anything else he had made in the past. It could even be said that its difficulty was second only to his hand-built rocket model back then!

Both were complex, multi-functional technologies.

Making a single function isn't difficult, but how to integrate them perfectly is the most important thing.

Fortunately, this time it went smoothly, completed just in time within the estimated two days.

Otherwise, if it had dragged on for another day, Su Yu was worried that this mission might end in failure.

Looking at the square display screen on the desktop, which resembled a dozen smartwatches, Su Yu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

That’s right!

This was his final multi-functional umbrella product!

If he didn't say it, probably no one would know that this small electronic screen could be related to an umbrella. If there had to be a connection, it was that the icon on the electronic screen was a small, open umbrella.

The multi-functional umbrella was Su Yu’s first product made after serious research, unlike the small things he casually made for fun before. Therefore, he incorporated many of his own ideas into its design.

For example, the traditional umbrella design requires it to be held by hand, which Su Yu couldn't understand. Why, when it's just raining, do you have to use one hand to hold an umbrella? Wouldn't it be better to free both hands and let the umbrella support itself above your head?

Some might say, doesn't a raincoat have such a function?

Indeed, a raincoat frees the hands, but it can only ensure that the user themselves doesn't get wet from the rain. But what if you're carrying something in your hand, a bag on your back, or have a companion with you? A raincoat wouldn't provide perfect protection then.

Therefore, Su Yu drew upon the essence of various rain-sheltering tools, making full use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, ultimately conducting comprehensive research to create this multi-functional umbrella.

He checked the time; it was exactly noon.

Su Yu decided to eat something first and, while doing so, inquire about Dami Technology's latest smart umbrella. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. He planned to understand his opponent in advance before preparing to stream.

While eating, Su Yu began browsing the internet for introductions to smart umbrellas.

However, to his disappointment, Lei Busi, President Lei, had also kept the new product very secret; not a single rumor was leaked before the press conference began.

Su Yu pouted. Fine, since the confidentiality work was so good, there was no point in him inquiring further.

Two hours later, the product launch event would reveal the truth!

However, speaking of the new product launch for the multi-functional umbrella, he was actually a bit conflicted internally.

Dami Technology's product launch events have always received widespread public attention, and his own live streams are no different. If he chose to directly compete with Dami's press conference, the scale of the two was simply not on the same level.

After all, one is a technology company that has entered thousands of households, while he is just a Streamer with a little bit of fame.

If they were to stream live online simultaneously, their user base would definitely be much larger than his audience! Unless he appeared on CCTV again, leveraging the power of television and multi-platform promotion, it would be impossible to surpass them in terms of online viewership.

Given this, there was no need for him to stubbornly stick to that path.

The creation of the multi-functional umbrella incorporated the strengths of many, leveraging advantages and avoiding disadvantages; he could do the same.

Soon, Su Yu thought of a good idea.

Dami Technology's online press conference has the advantage of fast and powerful dissemination, but they also have a fatal flaw: an online launch can only be an online launch.

In other words, Dami Technology can only explain the core competitiveness of its products to fans through the internet and various data reports.

But seeing is believing, and that is always the best form of promotion!

Su Yu decided that when he started his stream later, he could choose to conduct it both online and offline simultaneously.

To put it simply, he could hold a live broadcast introduction meeting on the street!

While introducing the multi-functional umbrella, he could also randomly pull a lucky passerby for a live experience.

This was his true advantage as a Streamer and an individual manufacturer.

Having made his decision, Su Yu no longer hesitated.

After eating, he packed a dozen multi-functional umbrellas into his familiar black backpack, then fully equipped his streaming gear, and pushed the door open.

Coincidentally, as soon as he stepped out, he felt a stuffy heat, like a sauna, envelop him.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky; dark clouds covered the top, and the cloud sea was so low it seemed within reach. The sudden change in air pressure also made it hard to breathe.

Is this the eve of a thunderstorm?

Am I this lucky?

Before leaving, Su Yu was still wondering if going out to stream at noon to introduce his multi-functional umbrella to passersby would make people think he was crazy.

But seeing that it was very likely to rain heavily soon, selling umbrellas at this time would be taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. Wouldn't the multi-functional umbrella just have found its perfect use?

At 1:30 PM, the live stream officially began!

Facing the camera, Su Yu recited his opening lines.

“Brothers, families, your Streamer is back to full health!”

“As everyone knows, today is a special day, and also a day everyone has been eagerly anticipating.”

“That’s right, living up to expectations, the self-developed multi-functional umbrella I promised Brothers last time has officially been completed today.”

In the live stream room, the online viewership began to skyrocket after the stream started.

“Hahahahaha, it’s done so quickly? Is the Streamer really planning to go head-to-head with Dami’s new product launch today?!”

“I don’t know why, but I heard President Lei also chose a smart umbrella as the first new product for his launch. Do you think President Lei did it on purpose?”

“That I don't know. Anyway, Dami Technology's new product launch still has half an hour before it starts, so I'll take a look here with the Streamer first, and then go over there when it begins.”

“The Brother upstairs has the same idea as me! Fortunately, the Streamer started early and didn't choose to stream at the same time as Dami's new product launch, otherwise, I wouldn't know which one to watch.”
