Chapter 638 A Press Conference Host with a Unique Style (Two-in-One)

The launch event for the first-generation Youmi phone will begin at 1:50 PM on the 25th.

This is also the first time in China that an electronic product has been launched with such fanfare.

The venue, which can accommodate about 5000 people, was not actually full, because only 4000 invitations were sent out.

However, the venue was still bustling with people, and the audience did not feel hot. The air conditioning inside the venue was set very low, and the ventilation system was also turned on, so there was no stuffy feeling of smelling each other's farts in a vegetable market.

The venue's layout is also very sophisticated, radiating a dark blue light throughout. The arched dome resembles a giant screen, with particles that look like stars suspended in the air, giving it a Rolls-Royce-like starry sky ceiling feel.

Audience members often take photos of the "starry sky dome" with their phones. There are also "support bags" on the seats containing water, a brief introduction to Youmi phones, and a tourist map of Guangzhou.

If a celebrity were to appear at this time, nothing would need to be changed; the venue could be used directly as a concert venue.

In the front row of the corridor near the stage, some reporters stood, with high-definition cameras set up, chatting in small groups.

"Going back in time is quite generous."

Zhao Zhimin, a reporter from Guangming Daily, said with a smile to his colleagues, "Judging from these outfits, it feels like they would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan."

"They're just flashy gimmicks."

Ming Jie, a reporter from CBN, smiled, but his tone was quite disdainful: "We'll have to test it carefully later to see if the quality is as good as they claim. They still have the nerve to say they can beat Nokia."

Zhao Zhimin glanced at Mingjie's name tag but didn't reply.

Financial media outlets are among the most prone to producing traitors. The term "traitor" here doesn't even need to be in quotes; it literally means that they are bought off by foreign powers and then smear China's economic progress.

Even after becoming a female host on CCTV, she still "remains true to her original aspiration" and shares insider information.

That's incredibly stupid.

The difference between financial media and *Yilin* magazine is:

The magazine "Yilin" often makes up nonsense, such as "In order to save a bird tangled in a power line, the White House ordered a nationwide blackout." Believing this kind of thing will make you drool even if you get cured.

Financial media outlets often operate in a more covert manner. They are adept at subtly changing concepts under the cover of data, appearing objective and neutral, but in reality, they presuppose conclusions, which is highly misleading.

"The management behind this phone said it's currently the best-performing phone in China. Do you believe them?"

Xiao Qidong, a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily, also chimed in with a smile.

The "Southern Clique" is also extremely biased, but since its base is within the province, which overlaps with the Su Hui faction, it doesn't dare to be too reckless.

It's one thing to be sarcastic or sarcastic in private, but to have to "go against one's conscience" and rave about Youmi phones in the official reports is worse than the death of one's entire family for them.

"Isn't it the best?"

Suddenly, a blunt rebuttal came from the side. Xiao Qidong turned around and saw that it was Deng Zhi, the beautiful editor of Yangcheng Daily.

Deng Zhi is already the editor-in-chief, but because it's a retrospective project, she still came in person.

Seeing Deng Zhi's pretty face turn cold, Xiao Qidong quickly forced a smile and shrank back behind the camera, not daring to say another word.

In terms of rank, Deng Zhi is already a division-level cadre. Although she is in the public sector, she is still considered an industry leader, and she can't help but want to be caught out.

Mingjie from CBN (China Business Network) scoffed at this.

I'm not even in Guangdong, so there's no need to indulge those who go back to the old ways!
……

Just as they were talking, the blue lights in the venue suddenly went out with a "bang".

The college students, who were easily startled, immediately started screaming excitedly.

Then, four LED crystal pillars rose from the side of the stage, each with a picture of a Youmi mobile phone suspended in its center.

Rose red, like the sunset dyeing glass, bringing with it a fiery heat;

Laurel White, like a cool light condensed on jade, exudes a tranquil and elegant aura;
The blue-and-white porcelain seems to have been transformed from the sky-blue of Ru ware, embodying a thousand years of elegance;

Obsidian black, like top-grade agate that has been polished repeatedly, is so deep that it seems to absorb all light.

"Wow……"

The screams grew louder, and the venue was filled with the sounds of flashing lights and camera shutters.

After a while, when the audience thought the climax had passed and their enthusiasm had subsided,

Suddenly, two more LED crystal pillars appeared in the center of the stage, and the figures of the "Gold" and "Purple" grapefruit plus products emerged from their shells.

Before everyone could even open their mouths to celebrate, a large amount of smoke was released around them, instantly enveloping the stage in a hazy, mysterious realm.

In this ambiguous atmosphere, a white figure slowly emerged from behind.

Footsteps were drowned out by the noise, but figures gradually became clearer.

When the smoke cleared, the audience could finally see that a tall, beautiful woman with an air of pride and elegance was standing on the stage.

She didn't have the formulaic smile of a professional host, nor did she try to please the audience. It was as if she wasn't facing enthusiastic consumers, but a gathering that needed her inspection.

"I am the speaker at today's Youmi phone launch event. My surname is Yi."

There was no "Hello everyone," nor "introduce your name," but rather a brief emphasis on the surname "Yi," and then Yi Baoyu began as if it were perfectly natural.

She pressed the remote control for the PPT, and a Youmi logo immediately appeared on the huge screen behind her, a bright silver logo with a metallic, technological sheen.

"Now I'm going to introduce you to the best mobile phone currently available in China!"

she says.

After a brief moment of surprise, the audience suddenly erupted into a flurry of discussion.

"Damn, look at the way she's looking at us, she's practically ignoring us!"

A college student wearing a baseball cap said to his companion, but his tone was not angry, but rather surprised as if he had discovered a new continent: "Doesn't he look like Mitsuru Aquaman from Sailor Moon?"

"I think she's more like Nagi Sanzenin from Hayate the Combat Butler."

My companion, also a long-time anime fan, said: "She just has this kind of aura that demands we kneel down and listen to her lecture. Who is she? She looks a lot like a female celebrity who often acts in spy movies."

The same question circulated among the reporters, but no one recognized the person.

Xiao Qidong of Southern Metropolis Daily said in a veiled but gloating tone: "Su Hui is a well-known enterprise in Guangdong. How could they just pick anyone to be the host? She is not professional at all."

"It's not just unprofessional, it's a disaster!"

Mingjie from CBN was much more direct: "I had already thought of the wording for the report... Putting the product aside, the host lacked professionalism, his tone was stiff, and his expression was arrogant... This press conference was as chaotic as a makeshift operation!"

Even Sister Deng Zhi frowned.

She only realized when she arrived at the scene that Su Hui had invited so many media outlets, attracting almost nationwide attention.

Such a grand preparation should have been a brand event where everyone praised each other, but the girl on stage, with arrogance written all over her face, showed no trace of a professional host in her every move.

"What are you thinking about?"

Deng Zhi glanced at her younger brother in the first row.

It would be better if he took the stage himself.

Of course, this girl's presentation wasn't terrible, because she remembered all the parameters very clearly, obviously she had put in a lot of effort. It was just that her tone, attitude, and eyes... it wasn't like she was selling a phone, but rather ordering everyone to use it!

The college students might find it novel. Looking at the young faces around her whispering and discussing, Deng Zhi was also wondering if she should use this "black-and-red" method to attract media attention and buzz.

But that's too risky. It would be much safer to find an experienced host, because after these parameters are explained, the Q&A session will begin.

Can this tall girl withstand those sharp and sarcastic questions?

Chen touched his nose nervously.

He had anticipated Gege's teaching style, since Yi Baoyu was an outsider to the field.

What's remarkable is that she did indeed memorize the relevant data, showing that this Celestial Dragon wasn't entirely prepared to seize it by force, but also wanted to put in some effort himself.

However, the questions that follow are completely beyond our control, and the impression that this press conference and the product will leave on the world depends on the effectiveness of the Q&A session.

After thinking for a moment, Chen instructed his secretary to stand by the stage and immediately step in to stop any reckless behavior.

The first person to get a chance to speak with the host was a reporter.

Chen turned his head and glanced at it.

Zhang Guangfeng whispered to the person next to him, "This is a reporter from CBN (China Business Network)."

Chen frowned, remaining noncommittal.

"Miss Yi."

The male reporter from CBN (China Business Network) grabbed the microphone and immediately launched into a major question: "What considerations led you to believe that it was necessary to hold such a high-profile launch event for this phone?"

The secretary looked over, her eyes seemingly asking whether she should rush up and interrupt.

Chen shook his head slowly.

Why would they activate "protective mode" on the very first question? Isn't that just announcing to the whole audience that the Youmi phone can't withstand even the slightest setback?

But this reporter B's questions were too tricky.

On stage, Yi Gege naturally sensed the hostility in the other person's tone. She stared at the other person for a moment before asking, "Which unit are you from?"

"I'm going to go..."

Chen thought to himself, "He's still a Celestial Dragon after all."

When we encounter difficulties, our first reaction is to rack our brains to cope or explain.

Princess Gege wants to find out your background first, and then settle accounts with you afterwards.

"I am Mingjie from CBN (China Business Network)."

Mingjie replied firmly, even with a hint of provocative teasing: "What, is Su Hui going to complain to our newspaper?"

He was clearly unaware of the "danger" involved. After all, he had been treated with courtesy everywhere he went for so many years, and he simply did not believe that Su Hui would dare to retaliate against him.

Upon hearing Mingjie categorize him as part of the "Retrospection Group," Yi Baoyu smiled dismissively and then retorted, "Then who do you think deserves to hold a press conference?"

Mingjie shrugged: "In my previous career, I've met a lot of big stars."

"Youmi is worth more than those celebrities!"

Yi Baoyu interrupted him directly with a simple but highly aggressive remark.

"Wow……"

Another gasp erupted from the audience.

This female host has a kind of confidence that is almost overbearing.

Chen could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Mingjie from CBN (China Business Network) was probably hearing such an arrogant answer for the first time. He even thought the woman was a bit crazy and sarcastically asked, "Ms. Yi, what makes you say that?"

Mingjie thought the female host was bragging, so he wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Little did he know that the princess was a "superwoman of power," and she never boasted.

Yi Baoyu took out his phone from his pocket, a blue-and-white model symbolizing tradition and heritage, and then said to Mingjie:
"Which celebrity do you think is more high-class than Youmi? Tell me! I'll call them in person and see if they dare to admit it."

"Holy crap...that's awesome!"

There was another commotion in the audience.

These college students, who seem to thrive on chaos, never expected to witness such a fierce and confrontational atmosphere at a product launch event.

Many people excitedly stood on tiptoe to look, and some even stood on the seats. They especially hoped that the reporter would name a "big shot" and then see "Sister Awesome's" reaction.

Unfortunately, Mingjie hesitated for a moment, and when faced with this arrogant and domineering "arrogant woman," he actually backed down first.

Because mentioning anyone's name at this time would be tantamount to publicly disparaging Youmi phones on behalf of that celebrity, which could very likely lead to a lawsuit.

"cough……"

Mingjie coughed and said, "I think we should get back to the press conference itself, Ms. Yi. You've gone off-topic."

Yi Baoyu didn't even take Chen Zhe and Xiao Ma Ge seriously, so why would she look up to a reporter who was causing trouble?
"Returning is possible."

Yi Baoyu pressed on, saying, "But you have to admit for yourself whether we are worthy of holding this press conference or not."

"I……"

Mingjie had never been treated like this before. His fair face turned red. He hated the woman surnamed Yi and Su Hui to the core and planned to use his pen to retaliate fiercely after the event.

Just then, the secretary, who had received a signal from the boss, walked over from the side of the stage, took the microphone from Mingjie's hand, and went around to the other side:
"Hey handsome guy in the northeast corner, I saw you raised your hand just now, do you have a question too?"

"what……"

The boy was watching the commotion when suddenly everyone's attention turned to him. He hurriedly grabbed the microphone and asked, "Host, I'd like to ask why you said that Youmi is the best mobile phone in China, while Nokia and Samsung still exist?"

This person is clearly a well-mannered and polite college student.

Yi Baoyu was just waiting for Mingjie to be embarrassed, but someone stepped in to smooth things over, which was clearly the organizer's intention.

She glared at Chen and then replied, "Because I would never endorse rubbish. The fact that I'm willing to be a spokesperson already proves that Youmi is the best phone in China."

Everyone was a little stunned.

The normal explanation for this question should be to list data and make comparisons, not to use one's own choice as a reason for endorsement.

"besides."

Yi Baoyu thought for a moment and then added, "Don't mention Nokia, Samsung, or Motorola here. Can you even read their Symbian system?"

"Nokia users here, if you have any usage needs, you can make a wish here."
