Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

The press conference for Chrysanthemum felt rushed and forced from the very beginning.

The autumn product launch, originally scheduled for next month, was moved up a full month by Rossi's strict order.

The schedules of all departments were completely disrupted, and coordination was carried out overnight.

The R&D team worked through the night to refine the product presentation slides, and the marketing department made last-minute changes to the plan.

Even the sign-in backdrop at the entrance of the venue was delivered that morning.

When the live stream starts.

The comments section is already filled with messages like "The signs of rushing to finish are obvious" and "President Luo is in a hurry."

The venue was packed, with invited media and die-hard fans all present.

A whole host of tech bloggers across the internet simultaneously started their own live streams.

Everyone is waiting to see if Chrysanthemum, forced into a hasty move, can come up with something decent to turn the tide.

Available on the market.

Dual-fold screen phones have been flooding the market for some time now.

The various mobile phone manufacturers are competing fiercely with each other, resulting in a dazzling array of specifications.

Industry insiders generally agree that the upper limit of foldable screens has been basically set.

At most, we can optimize the hinge thickness and fine-tune the screen quality.

Nobody expected it.

This time, Chrysanthemums are not following the path that everyone assumes.

They directly produced their self-developed tri-fold phone.

Rossi walked onto the stage quickly, skipping even the opening pleasantries and getting straight to the point:

"Today, Chrysanthemum is going to bring a truly disruptive product to the industry."

Then he raised his hand to signal, and the large screen behind him lit up, slowly unfolding a rendering of a folding phone.

It's a triple fold, unlike the double fold which is already a highly competitive market.

It involves folding a screen into three sections, unfolding it into a flat tablet, and then folding it twice to the size of a regular mobile phone.

Rossi stood in the center of the stage, personally demonstrating the opening and closing process: unfolding, folding, and unfolding again.

The movements were swift and clean, with each opening and closing of the screen being precise and efficient.

The damping sensation of the hinge is transmitted through the close-up shot on the large screen, each movement carrying the unique, subtle sound of precision machinery.

"Three folds," Rossi held her phone up to her eyes and slowly unfolded it in front of the camera, "No matter how you fold it, it'll have a good surface."

The fans who had been waiting in the audience applauded loudly.

In the live stream room, a group of loyal fans quickly flooded the screen with messages.

"Innovation still depends on chrysanthemums."

"The title of 'China's technological ceiling' is well-deserved."

Seeing the praise in the comments section and the enthusiastic atmosphere in the audience.

Rossi spoke with increasing confidence.

"Over the years."

We have invested heavily in the research and development of hinge structures, screen materials, and underlying chips.

Focusing on tackling tough challenges without regard for short-term returns.

Now that this tri-fold phone has been officially launched, it is far ahead of the rest of the industry.

The journalists in the front row were typing away on their keyboards.

Some reporters were simply recording the press conference content as a routine matter.

Many people were secretly making their own plans.

With such hype, the subsequent pricing is unlikely to be affordable.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone is waiting for the final price.

Rossi deliberately paused for a few seconds, whetting the appetite of the entire audience.

"16+256G version, 17999 yuan."

"Top-of-the-line 1TB version, 21999 yuan."

After quoting the price.

Rossi's gaze swept over the crowd below the stage, a hint of smugness on his face.

"Everyone, isn't this pricing quite reasonable?"

Immediately after he finished speaking, he threw out a series of controversial remarks.

"Chrysanthemum is determined to make flagship phones that young people can afford."

Today, with the launch of this product, we've accomplished something.

The two completely different states instantly split up on the field.

Invited fans and some media personnel who had received press releases in advance symbolically clapped.

The applause sounds lively, but a closer listen reveals it to be quite perfunctory.

Ordinary young people in Douyin and Bilibili live streams couldn't hold back any longer, and their complaints instantly flooded the screen.

"Starting at 18,000, is that something young people can afford?"

"When did the spending threshold for young people become 20,000 yuan?"

"The overall performance of the Mi 14 is on par with the flagship Huawei phone, but it costs just over 4,000 yuan."

"A single three-fold folded furniture costs nearly 20,000 yuan. Isn't this 'nostalgia tax' being levied too recklessly?"

Of course, there is still a group of die-hard fans who keep arguing.

"The research and development of hinges requires huge investment and the manufacturing cost is very high. There is a reason why they are expensive."

"We can't just look at the price of hardware; R&D investment cannot be ignored."

Supporters and critics clashed, turning the comment section into a chaotic mess.

The reporters in the audience were also whispering among themselves.

Many people frowned.

While they might not openly refute it, they didn't agree with this pricing logic in their hearts.

This concludes the mobile phone product introduction segment.

Most of the reporters in the audience were still fixated on the issue of the price being too high.

As everyone can see, it's difficult to salvage the declining reputation of a phone with just one folding design.

Rossi knew that the people present were not buying it.

It is difficult for mobile phone products to reverse the current downward trend in public opinion.

He remained calm and revealed the final trump card of today's press conference.

"Mobile phones are just one part of our technology strategy."

"Now I have something important to announce."

The entire audience fell silent instantly.

"The Miaomiao SUV, a collaboration between Chrysanthemum and Chixing, already sent shivers down the spines of the entire automotive industry!"

"Next, Chrysanthemum will join forces with established domestic automakers to jointly establish Chrysanthemum Intelligent Mobility."

"At the latest next year, vehicles equipped with our self-developed intelligent cockpit and autonomous driving system will be launched to the market in large quantities."

Rossi spoke with certainty.

"In the mobile phone market, Huawei remains in the lead, and in the future, smart cars will be a core area where we will focus our efforts."

Upon hearing the news of car manufacturing, the media present finally took it seriously.

They all shifted their writing focus to making car manufacturing the big news of today's press conference.

There was a brief division within the live stream.

Some viewers were amazed by the car manufacturing plan.

He expressed his feelings one after another.

"Indeed, they have a profound foundation and a long-term vision."

"After finishing the mobile phone business, now they're entering the automotive industry; their ambitions are truly ambitious."

However, many netizens calmed down and began to silently compare the current situation with reality.

Someone bluntly stated the truth in the comments section.

"Dami has obtained the official approval for car manufacturing, and can manufacture cars independently."

"Chrysanthemums can only rely on established car companies to form alliances and cooperate."

"The initiative was never in our own hands to begin with."

Everyone sees it clearly.

The two companies entered the car manufacturing industry at completely different levels.

The press conference was slowly coming to an end.

Rossi stood on the stage, feeling very good about herself.

The company has branded itself with a three-fold phone as a technological marvel and also announced its plans to manufacture cars.

Today's press conference is enough to win back all the ground we lost recently.

He was basking in the belief that his own products were far ahead of the competition.

The live stream was filled with doubts, the dissatisfaction of ordinary consumers, and the complaints from netizens outside the live stream.

He couldn't see any of these things.

He didn't know.

The audience members were polite on the surface, but the general public on the internet had already made their own judgment.

He still hasn't turned the tide in this round of public opinion.
