50: Chapter 50 New Weapon Launch Event
After saying goodbye to Moriarty, they returned to their aircraft carrier. Zhang Shan and Gu Nan took apart their mobile phones and proceeded to modify them.
When Moriarty asked them if they didn't have mobile phones earlier today, Zhang Shan actually felt a little embarrassed. After all, back when they were assassins, everyone used secret codes to communicate, so they weren't in the habit of using mobile phones.
Moriarty's question today felt like it had ripped away their veil of shame. So, once they left Moriarty's house, he and Gu Nan quickly rushed to a mobile phone store to buy smartphones.
He had learned the technique for modifying phones when he was a child. After all, these skills were essential for an assassin.
Zhang Shan looked at his modified phone, hoping it would be of some help to him in the future.
The next day, after having breakfast on the aircraft carrier, Zhang Shan and Gu Nan went to Di Suo Bar.
Moriarty was extremely excited to see his idol arrive.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
"Brother, I've come because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh, why are you being so polite? Didn't I tell you? You just need to let me know if you have anything you need."
"It's like this. My business in Chile is growing, but I've found that our popularity isn't very high. If we want to go further, we first need to increase our visibility. So, I wanted to ask, Brother, do you have any thoughts on this?"
Zhang Shan looked at Moriarty.
Moriarty stroked his non-existent beard.
"Hmm. Actually, I do have a way to increase visibility. That is to hold a press conference. That way, everyone will see our weapons on TV. However, some weapons cannot be exposed, so that's a bit of a problem."
Moriarty felt a bit frustrated. Having an idea but being unable to implement it was too agonizing.
Zhang Shan thought about it carefully.
"Brother Moriarty, wasn't there a Miss Xia Wei at Skaff's dinner party last time? According to my investigation, she should have some connections with the government."
Gu Nan chimed in appropriately.
Moriarty slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Brother Gu Nan, you are simply too smart. Miss Xia Wei can really help with this matter. It's just that, hehe."
Gu Nan and Moriarty both stared at Zhang Shan and chuckled.
Zhang Shan felt a bit creeped out by their laughter.
"Why are you looking at me? Looking at me won't hold a press conference!"
Zhang Shan was very helpless.
"Oh, this matter depends on you. After all, Miss Xia Wei is quite interested in you. If you ask her for help, it should be very easy."
Gu Nan was truly a god of gossip. Even at a time like this, he still wanted to watch the show.
"Do you want me to call and set up a date with Miss Wei for you?" Gu Nan teased.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
On the other side, Xia Wei, who was in the middle of a meeting, received a call from Zhang Shan.
"Oh, a rare guest! What made you think of calling me?" Xia Wei was a little puzzled.
On the other end, Zhang Shan scratched his head awkwardly.
Of course, the gossipers still had looks of curiosity on their faces, silently watching the drama unfold.
"It's like this, Miss Xia. I would like to ask for your help with something."
"Go ahead." Xia Wei was a little curious.
"Hmm. It's like this, Miss Xia, I want you to help me hold a press conference."
"What are you planning to release? Generally, you can just hold a press conference yourself; you don't need to rely on me!"
Xia Wei said seriously.
"Of course. If it were ordinary things, just holding a casual press conference would be fine. However, the thing I want to release in this press conference is a weapon. But I'm afraid of government interference, so I had to come and ask for your help, Miss Xia."
Xia Wei suddenly realized.
"So that's it! This is a small matter for me, no problem at all. But? There is no free lunch in this world. How are you going to compensate me?"
Xia Wei teased Zhang Shan.
Gu Nan and Moriarty were leaning over Zhang Shan's phone, listening to the voice, their eyes glowing with gossip.
Zhang Shan was extremely helpless. He really wanted to beat them both to death.
"How about this, Miss Xia? Let's just say that I, Robinson, owe you a favor for this. How about that?"
"You mean I can make any request I want, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Shan said seriously.
"In that case, I agree to help you with this."
...
With the help of Xia Wei, the press conference was officially held.
Xia Wei was no stranger to the people of Chile. Many people came to attend the press conference, and the entire event went very smoothly, with every part being a success.
Xia Wei introduced the products seriously, leaving a deep impression on the guests who attended.
Don't ask why Xia Wei came in person to introduce these products? She just wanted to make Zhang Shan feel embarrassed.
When Xia Wei brought out the product, the entire press conference was in an uproar.
The defensive weapon displayed this time was a major breakthrough in the arms industry.
The people who came to attend this press conference were almost all wealthy and powerful people in Zhili Country. At the first sight of this weapon, all they could think about was getting their hands on it.
However, they didn't act rashly because the woman standing on the stage was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
"Miss Xia, may I ask, when will this defensive weapon be officially released? We all really want something like this."
Xia Wei smiled slightly.
"As for me, I'm only responsible for the introduction today, and I'm not very clear about the specific details. Since everyone is so curious, let's invite the developer of this weapon to the stage to give everyone a detailed introduction."
Zhang Shan stood on the stage and introduced the performance and efficacy of this weapon to the people below. It instantly brought the press conference to a climax.
"Mr. Robinson, Mr. Robinson, when are you planning to release this weapon? What is the price? Is it convenient for you to say?"
"This weapon has not yet been put on the market on a large scale. But it will appear in various stores in the near future. Please be patient and wait."
At this moment, a reporter raised a question.
"May I ask, Mr. Robinson, which company do you belong to?"
"Sorry, I don't belong to any company. I'm just simply developing new products right now. I haven't founded a company yet."
A young man in white below said.
"Mr. Robinson, I have a suggestion. You could start a company specifically to develop and sell these weapons. I feel that your market will be very good."
"Thank you for your concern, this matter is already in the plans. There is one last thing, please look forward to the launch of this new weapon. I hope everyone will support me."
The audience applauded.
