167: Jinbei van and masked man

"Mr. Lei, that Streamer named Su Yu has indeed started his broadcast!"

"Just as you predicted, he didn't wait to coincide with our new product launch; instead, he started early and drew away all the popularity!"

"This 'borrowing arrows with straw boats' tactic is truly devious."

At this moment, Lei Jun's administrative secretary, looking at the report that had just come in, reported to him anxiously.

Although their new product launch venue was completely set up, and Lei Jun had made full preparations, memorizing his script for when he would go on stage.

However, the opponent's sudden broadcast still caught them somewhat off guard.

Lei Jun extended his hand and gently pressed down, indicating there was no need to rush.

Instead, a look of curiosity and appreciation appeared on his face. "The Young man is very clever, isn't he? He knows to seize the initiative and strike first. He really has something."

Lei Jun was not surprised that Su Yu would choose to broadcast early.

Putting himself in Su Yu's shoes, if he were a Streamer, Lei Jun would certainly choose to hold a new product launch on the same day as a competitor. He would also try to absorb all the traffic before the competitor's new product launch.

That's what a smart person would do!

"Alright, since the venue is already prepared, and I'm just sitting around anyway, project the big screen for me. I'm going to watch that kid."

Seeing that waiting backstage was idle, and there were still more than twenty minutes until the product launch officially began, Lei Jun simply had the on-site staff find Su Yu's live stream and watched with great interest.

Since the opponent had started broadcasting, he would definitely demonstrate the specific functions of the multi-functional umbrella live.

To be honest, as a user, Lei Jun was also quite curious about Su Yu's multi-functional umbrella. Because until now, Su Yu had not released any physical pictures of the multi-functional umbrella.

This meant that no one knew what the umbrella actually looked like.

"Streamer, stop stalling! Hurry up and start, we can't wait to see it."

"Exactly, exactly! An umbrella that sells for 1999, I want to see just how precious this umbrella is."

"Hurry up! It's about to rain, the Streamer can take this opportunity to test the umbrella's effectiveness."

Facing the urging of the Brothers in the live stream, Su Yu unhurriedly opened his schoolbag, then pulled out a small, square block from the bag, similar to a smart watch.

"Here, it's this!"

"Now, this little gadget I'm holding in my hand is our protagonist today, and it's the multi-functional umbrella I'm going to demonstrate to the Brothers!"

????

Looking at the small electronic screen, everyone in the live stream was once again shocked. Countless question marks in the bullet comments indicated the audience's inner astonishment.

"Ah, no, what is this thing? A small electronic screen, and you're telling me this is an umbrella? How does this have anything to do with an umbrella?"

"Speaking of which, Streamer, did you pick up the wrong thing?"

"Hey, you want to sell me this thing for 1999? Streamer, do you really think we're idiots?"

Behind the screen, Lei Jun showed a puzzled look.

Brand reference, likely Xiaomi's smart umbrella had undergone a complete upgrade. Due to netizens' suggestions and demands, many electronic components were added, but at least they still retained the basic shape of an umbrella.

High-density ultra-light titanium alloy umbrella ribs, specially treated canopy fabric, and a retractable pole.

Although an electronic display screen was also added to the handle part, at least from the outside, it still looked like an umbrella.

But Su Yu's...

If he hadn't said it, probably no one would have known it was an umbrella!

...Milano Street intersection.

In an inconspicuous, dilapidated Jinbei van, four people wearing different animal masks were squeezed into the not-so-spacious interior.

Inside the car, smoke billowed.

Each person wore worn-out camouflage uniforms, exuding a fierce aura. A total of four old-fashioned gunpowder hunting rifles were neatly placed inside the car.

The person wearing the monkey-face mask narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the bank entrance not far away.

"Old Pig, how long until the cash transport truck arrives?"

The man wearing the Pigsy mask glanced at his old Nokia phone and replied in a low voice, "Ten more minutes."

Ten minutes.

In ten minutes, the cash transport truck would deliver the bank's cash for the day, and their plan would proceed as scheduled.

However, what the monkey-face mask hadn't expected was that they had continuously scouted this bank branch for 30 days, and there were very few people. Besides two elderly men at the entrance, there were no other security personnel.

But today, when they arrived, they found a Young man at the entrance.

At first, the monkey-face mask thought this Young man was just there to withdraw money.

But who knew that he sat down on the steps not far from the bank, with something like a camera on his shoulder, babbling incessantly, seemingly on the phone?

"Old Ma, there's been a slight change. There seems to be an extra kid at the bank entrance today, just babbling about who knows what. It looks like he won't be leaving anytime soon."

"Then our plan?"

The Horse-Face Masked Man snorted coldly.

"Continue! What kind of trouble can a little kid cause?"

"Today is the most suitable day. A heavy rain will come soon, and everyone will hide in the bank to avoid the rain. That will be our best chance to rush in."

"Damn it, if that kid doesn't have eyes, we'll just shoot him directly."

The others chuckled when they heard their boss speak.

"Boss, after we finish this big one, we can take a break for a while. How about we take the Brothers to a foreign casino to broaden our horizons then?"

The Horse-Face Masked Man tutted twice.

"Alright, after we get this last one today, we'll just flee far away. It'll be good to go abroad and lie low first. We'll come back when things calm down."

"But remember, today's plan can only succeed, not fail! If anyone is soft-hearted and can't go through with it, causing the Brothers to not get their money, then don't blame me, Old Ma, for turning my back on you."

...Bank entrance.

At this moment, Su Yu, who had taken out the multi-functional umbrella, had obviously anticipated that the item he had created was too advanced, and its price was a bit expensive compared to ordinary umbrellas, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction in the live stream.

But all of this was within his control.

After all, the aerodynamic kit was one of the biggest selling points, and it was what subverted the limitations of traditional umbrella design.

So he planned to immediately show the netizens the real thing and give them a grand demonstration.

"Alright, I believe many Brothers must be very confused when they see this thing, wondering how a small display screen can be an umbrella?"

"Next, I will first introduce the basic functions of the multi-functional umbrella, and then briefly demonstrate how to use it."
