We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#213 - Preparation for the press conference
The next day, Su Cheng woke up very late.
He didn't have any friends in New York, and as for Judy Foster, she wouldn't arrive in New York by plane until the evening.
The people in the trading team were all out doing their own thing, and even Zhang Qizheng had gone to see his old friends.
Meanwhile, at the Metropolitan Opera House, about 9 kilometers away in New York, Yang Chaoye was supervising the construction team as they worked intensely to set up the venue.
Previously, the construction team had already set up the venue according to the design drawings.
However, after Yang Chaoye arrived, he was still not satisfied with some areas, so he made some modifications.
Today was September 27th, leaving only 3 days until the press conference. Now that the venue was almost completely modified, the time was considered relatively ample.
Next, they would test and calibrate the equipment.
Yang Chaoye's reputation in the American technology world was very high.
Therefore, he had already used his personal reputation to send out invitations to the press conference to many mainstream American media outlets.
Although Yang Chaoye had been retired from IBM for several months, his prestige was still there, and many people gave him face.
Even IBM's current president, J. Watson, was said to be personally attending this press conference.
On the surface, IBM President J. Watson was giving this former colleague face, but in reality, he just wanted to come and see him make a fool of himself.
He also wanted to know what kind of tricks this colleague, who used to often oppose him, would come up with.
They had often argued in front of everyone at board meetings over certain matters.
He resigned and joined an unknown company in Hong Kong?
What good product could he possibly release?
IBM President J. Watson didn't think that Su's Group could bring even the slightest threat to IBM's industry competition!
This was simply nonsense!
The United States was at the forefront of the technology world.
Hong Kong, a small place, besides trade, finance, tourism, and some low-end processing industries, what could it do in technology?
A product that could change the world? J. Watson didn't believe it at all.
J. Watson was already waiting to see Yang Chaoye make a fool of himself.
Su's Group, he had never even heard of it, how could it develop any good products.
He had also heard about Su Cheng's affairs, who reportedly purchased 170 million barrels of crude oil in one go, which had caused a stir in the media before.
But so what?
Just a nouveau riche.
If a startup company in Silicon Valley had released a revolutionary product, he would have believed it, because this had happened countless times before.
But if it happened in Hong Kong, he wouldn't believe it.
……
Su Cheng slept until noon before slowly getting out of bed.
He casually ate a buffet in the hotel restaurant and then left the hotel.
Zhang Qizheng had already helped him rent a car, which was parked in the hotel's underground parking lot.
"Go to the Metropolitan Opera House," Su Cheng said to the driver.
"Okay, boss!" the driver nodded and started the car, driving out of the parking lot.
Among this group of bodyguards, one had lived in New York before, so he was relatively familiar with the streets of New York.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for him to serve as Su Cheng's driver.
The traffic in New York was even more congested than in Hong Kong.
The mere 9-kilometer journey took almost half an hour.
The Metropolitan Opera House is a world-class opera house with a leading position in New York. Its predecessor was a theater located on Broadway between 39th and 40th Streets in the second half of the 19th century.
This Metropolitan Opera House was built in 1965 and is the core of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York. Its architectural style integrates classical and modern elements. It is large in scale and can accommodate more than 4,000 spectators. It is one of the few major theaters in the world.
Because of this, Yang Chaoye put the press conference here.
Although this press conference was destined not to be filled with more than 4,000 spectators, because Oracle Computer Company didn't have any reputation at all.
However, the necessary scenes still had to be there.
These hundred-plus media outlets would definitely have several hundred people.
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!
In addition, there were also many big shots and Yang Chaoye's old friends who came, and there would also be more than a hundred people here.
In addition, thousands of teachers and students from New York University would come to participate.
IBM's headquarters is located in Armonk, New York, so naturally, many engineering graduates from New York University would choose IBM as their preferred employer.
And Yang Chaoye had also graduated from New York University and was considered one of the well-known alumni of New York University. When he was working at IBM, he was even invited to serve as an honorary professor at New York University.
Therefore, this time Yang Chaoye specifically contacted the person in charge of the Engineering Information major at New York University.
They also gave Yang Chaoye face and directly arranged for thousands of students from the Engineering Information major to participate in this press conference.
A press conference attended by more than a thousand people was enough.
The car stopped in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Opera House, and Su Cheng successfully arrived at the venue for the press conference.
"Director Yang, what do you think?" As soon as Su Cheng came in, he saw Yang Chaoye directing.
"I am full of energy and looking forward to this day coming soon," Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
When he was at IBM, he had also hosted many product launches, but at that time he was only hosting some products that were not very important.
Naturally, those new product launches that could shock the entire technology world would not be his turn as vice president.
"It's coming soon. In the future, there will be more good products that need you to host," Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although he could also go up and host these press conferences, he was not interested in them at all.
As long as he could make money for Su Cheng, he would rather be a behind-the-scenes figure and make a fortune silently.
"All the equipment on site has been set up. In order to ensure the smooth running of the press conference, I plan to hold a rehearsal-style press conference tomorrow," Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
"Okay, you take care of it. Thank you for your hard work, don't get tired," Su Cheng patted Yang Chaoye on the shoulder and said seriously.
After all, he was an old man in his sixties, and Su Cheng didn't want him to get exhausted.
"It's okay, it's just a simple rehearsal. I can rest for two days the day after tomorrow and the day after that," Yang Chaoye waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't come over. I'll come over on the day of the press conference. I wish our press conference a complete success!" Su Cheng smiled.
He had to preside over the harvesting of leeks at the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow, so he didn't have time to come over.
"It will definitely be a complete success, I am full of confidence!" Yang Chaoye replied.
