Chapter 639 The "Patriot and the People's Worry" Meat Trumpet

In this increasingly transparent era, young people abhor hypocrisy, excessive packaging, carefully crafted friendliness, and marketing rhetoric that relies on playing the victim.

Yi Gege's unconventional hosting style, though somewhat "unorthodox," has surprisingly yielded excellent marketing results.

Even if Chen Zhe himself were to perform, this level of skill would probably be the best he could achieve.

However, Director Chen's style has always been too hypocritical. He is easily put on a pedestal, which leads the public to place high expectations and moral standards on the company.

While you may enjoy the initial boost in traffic, you can easily suffer the backlash if the desired results are not achieved later.

Therefore, Director Chen always felt that Lei Jun would suffer losses in this direction sooner or later.

Yi Gege's performance was certainly not perfect, but Chen Zhe felt that her behavior and remarks, which left room for criticism, were quite good.

As the old saying goes, Heaven abhors fullness, and humanity abhors perfection.

There is no perfect person in the world. If you are too obsessed with following this path, you will eventually be crushed by the monument you have built for yourself.

At the subsequent press conference, Chen Zhe did not offer any obstacles and simply let Gege do as she pleased.

Someone asked: Ms. Yi, why do you add "11.94 cm" on the back of the 4.7-inch label in your product description? Are you worried that Chinese people won't understand it?
Yi Baoyu: I don't know. It's probably not because they're worried about not understanding, but rather to make it clear to consumers at a glance. If you go to the market and the farmer says one jin (500g), but you insist on converting it to 500g, is there a difference?
Another question: This is a technological product, not like buying groceries. Shouldn't we still pursue a bit of craftsmanship?

Yi Baoyu: Haha, so centimeters are formalism, and inches are craftsmanship? Stop speaking Chinese, give me a couple of fluent English sentences and let me hear your London accent.

……

Someone asked: Ms. Yi, the Youmi phone doesn't have a replaceable battery like Nokia phones. If it runs out of power, are we just left holding the data cable and waiting to charge it?

Yi Baoyu: Yes.

Another question: Wouldn't that be very inconvenient?

Yi Baoyu: So you really have to play with your phone until it's completely out of battery before you charge it?
……

Someone asked: Ms. Yi, what is the price of this phone?

Yi Baoyu: 3399.

Another question: Is it a bit extravagant for an ordinary person to spend a month's salary on a mobile phone?

Yi Baoyu: Is it extravagant to spend a month's salary to buy the first domestic Android phone that will last you for several years? If you still think it's too expensive, then don't buy it. Nobody is forcing you.

……

After the press conference, all the audience members left the venue satisfied.

For ordinary people, this is really worth it; it's the first time I've ever seen a product presenter put a reporter in such an awkward position.

For the media, this is excellent news material. Regardless of their stance, tonight's conflict provides them with ample opportunity to write extensively about it.

The only difference is that those media outlets that have a favorable impression of Yi Baoyu are not in a hurry to publish their articles, but instead calmly sort out their viewpoints.

Mingjie from CBN rushed back to his hotel after the event, and opened his laptop without even going to the toilet.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, demonstrating Jie's solid skills. In less than half an hour, he typed out a report about the press conference.

"Whoo~"

Mingjie blew on his palms, which were slightly sweaty from typing so fast, and looked at the screen with satisfaction.

You think this is a news report?
Wrong! This is a manifesto!

I must show those arrogant and domineering bastards that words can also be turned into sharp daggers.

Mingjie immediately called the editor-in-chief of the newspaper's column and asked that the report be added to tonight's edition.

A true man takes revenge without delay; this is how it should be!
Mingjie was one of the top ten writers in the newspaper, so the column editor only glanced at him briefly.

[Special Commentary] Revisiting the Press Conference: A Carefully Planned Carnival of Arrogance
As the lights went out and the last audience member left with a satisfied expression, we were forced to reflect:
What exactly happened at today's UMI phone launch event?
A feast of technological innovation? Or a carefully packaged declaration of arrogance?

Youmi, which claims to be the "first domestically produced Android phone," chose Ms. Yi, who has no connection with the tech industry, as its presenter. Her awkward and unprofessional hosting style highlighted the amateurishness of this launch event.

What worries me even more is the fact that some young audience members admire this arrogant behavior.

When professional skepticism is scorned and rational discussion is trivialized by entertainment, what we see is not only the failure of a press conference, but also the prevalence of a distorted set of values.

According to the latest data, my country's R&D expenditure in the electronics manufacturing industry increased by 18.5% year-on-year in the first three quarters of this year, demonstrating the industry's emphasis on technological innovation. As an emerging company, Youmi Electronics should focus on core R&D rather than on showcasing its own poor style.

Therefore, the author believes that...

The press conference may have ended, but the industry's journey continues.

We welcome brands' willingness to explore diverse marketing methods, but we hope that companies like Youmi Electronics will keep in mind:
In the field of science and technology, true power always comes from technological innovation. Only a solid technological foundation can support China's electronics industry to move steadily and far in global competition.

(Ming Jie, Special Commentator for CBN)

……

This is a typical example of a high-level economic article that appears to be "objective and neutral" but is actually full of misleading information.

Between the lines, it frequently uses the words "reflection" and "anxiety," and the whole thing is full of pretentious clichés, all supported by data. It's like a human megaphone filled with thoughts of worrying about the country and its people.

In reality, if you remove all this useless talk, there's not a single piece of practical advice, and it's full of mockery and criticism of emerging domestic companies like Suhui.

However, because the level of knowledge is so high, not only ordinary people, but also those who have read a lot of books are more likely to believe it.

After reading it, the editor-in-chief of CBN (China Business Network) simply made a few minor changes and smiled as he asked the printing department to add the report.

Mingjie was also very "clever." He was worried that the article would anger Su Hui after it was published, so he didn't even eat dinner and hurriedly packed his things to return to Shanghai.

He felt that Guangdong was their territory, but Shanghai was beyond their reach.

Even if you want to fish in the open ocean, don't think our newspaper leaders are just sitting around doing nothing!

But Mingjie forgot a saying: "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king."

……

After the flight landed more than two hours later, Mingjie had just turned on his phone when a series of notifications popped up like a flood bursting its banks.

“So many missed calls?”

Mingjie was somewhat surprised; the more than twenty red missed call icons looked like a string of explosives with lit fuses.

But he had no sense of danger; in fact, he was in a good mood because he had just gotten his revenge.

Based on the importance of these missed calls, Mingjie first called the newspaper's editor-in-chief back.

"President, I was on the plane just now and my phone was off."

Mingjie explained.

"Oh, nothing."

The editor-in-chief, Yang Wen, spoke in a cheerful and deep voice through the receiver, with a hint of a smile: "Wu Xue was on a business trip, and the newspaper sent her there in a car. The driver said he could give you a ride back."

"is it?"

Mingjie thought to himself, "What a good thing! It's a bit rare that the top leader would pay attention to such trivial matters."

However, as one of the newspaper's writers, it was understandable that he received some special treatment. He readily called the driver and successfully boarded the newspaper's special car.

Mingjie thought this was a sign of the leader's high regard and care for him.

Little did he know, the leader was genuinely worried that the young man would run away, otherwise he would take the blame himself.

At this moment, the conference room on the top floor of the First Financial Daily building was filled with smoke.

President Yang Wen, Editor-in-Chief Bei Fanyu, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Bi Qiubai gathered together, silently smoking with solemn expressions.

Kang Zhe, the column editor who approved the publication of that report, was sitting in the corner of the conference room, his face pale.

Because Wu Bin, the secretary of the newspaper's discipline inspection committee, was standing next to him.

Secretary Wu is usually in poor health and is often on vacation, so I only see him a few times a year.

But every time he appears, it is inevitably accompanied by an "earthquake".
