Qing Shan Qu Zui

Chapter 1036 Pulling Pranks, Director Chang is a Professional

The audience present were clearly perplexed.

"What is it? Taking up so much space?"

"A standing air conditioner? A huge refrigerator? No, those wouldn't take up this much space either!"

"It's two meters long! Could it be a wardrobe?"

"Total weight of 200kg! What could be so heavy?"

"So heavy, and they call it a 'smart new product'? How is it even related to 'smart'?"

Chang You smiled slightly, seeming that he had successfully built up the suspense.

"Alright, now it's time to unveil the mysterious veil of our new product. Please watch a promotional video that we carefully prepared for this smart new product."

After Chang You finished speaking, he walked down. The lights dimmed, and a promotional video began playing on the big screen.

Everyone held their breath and watched intently.

Everyone wanted to know what this behemoth was!

"Solid pectoral muscles."

"Strong latissimus dorsi..."

On the big screen, the promotional video that Meng Chang had filmed with Lin Jiaqiang appeared.

In the video, Lin Jiaqiang was wearing a loose sports vest, sweating profusely on the smart fitness clothes-drying rack.

But in the next second, he had given up on persevering and started hanging clothes on the smart fitness clothes-drying rack.

"A smart fitness clothes-drying rack with such a wide range of functions, what are you waiting for? Order now!"

At the end of the promotional video, Lin Jiaqiang stood next to the smart fitness clothes-drying rack, giving the camera a thumbs up in a "like" gesture.

He already had the face of a comedian, and coupled with this uniquely shaped machine, the final scene had a hilarious comedic effect.

Chang You returned to the stage: "This is our Otto Technologies' masterpiece, the smart new product: the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack!"

"It solves the biggest pain point of home fitness equipment in one fell swoop: the inconvenience of drying clothes!"

"This device can not only be used for fitness, but also for drying up to a dozen pieces of clothing, with an automatic drying function and smart reminder function, so that your home fitness equipment is no longer just for show!"

Chang You's serious introduction made the audience laugh again.

"Hahahaha, what the heck is this? I was wondering why it was so heavy, it's fitness equipment!"

"Artificial intelligence combined with fitness? What kind of genius product manager came up with this!"

"I was wrong. From the beginning, I shouldn't have regarded this press conference as a serious one. Although I repeatedly reminded myself that this press conference would probably be a joke, I never expected that the entire press conference was the joke!"

"Indeed, I suggest that CEO Chang charge admission next time. You've made jokes, told jokes, and entertained the audience, but you're launching a product that you don't intend to sell at all. You're not making any money from us and you're even giving us free tickets. We really feel bad about it!"

"Indeed, I suggest charging admission in the future. After all, it costs a lot to seriously design such a funny product that can't be sold. Everyone can understand if you charge a little admission fee to get some money back."

The audience present were amused by this bizarre product and Chang You's serious introduction.

Originally, they were only expecting Chang You to make some jokes with his language skills, and the product would still be a serious product, like the e1.

But they didn't expect Chang You to give everyone a surprise, even the product was a joke!

Does this "Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack" have any meaning?

It seems... not.

The only meaning should be to make everyone laugh, right?

I have to say, it's rare to see such a conscientious manufacturer that spends a lot of money on research and development, produces samples, and then holds a press conference to entertain the public for free.

Let's cherish it while we can!

As for the product itself...

To be honest, if it were other products, such as a mobile phone or a robot vacuum cleaner, people would definitely complain if the price was too high or the product's functions had flaws.

Because everyone knows that the manufacturer still intends to sell it, but they just messed it up.

But this Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack is different.

The way the manufacturer made it, it seems that they didn't intend to sell it at all!

If a manufacturer's product has a small flaw, everyone will think that it is because the manufacturer is not capable enough; but if the product has too many flaws all over its body and there is no way to complain about it, everyone will think that the manufacturer is joking with them and doesn't intend to sell it at all.

Since the manufacturer doesn't intend to sell it, and everyone doesn't intend to buy it, everyone naturally doesn't care about the possible flaws in this product or the price, and they are all watching the whole process with a lively attitude.

It's like setting up a stall outside. Anyone who says that your things are good in every way probably doesn't intend to buy them at all; only those who repeatedly pick and choose and find fault are really planning to pay.

Seeing the reaction of the audience, Chang You couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Why is everyone laughing?"

"I'm very seriously introducing this product. This is a project of the same level as the g1 mobile phone within Otto Technologies, and it's very important!"

"Even the project's initiation and design were fully coordinated and followed up by CEO Pei."

"This time, we have also prepared as many as 10,000 units of the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack, and our warehouses in Jingzhou are all full!"

You should know that the first batch of e1 mobile phones was only 1,000 units, so they were sold out before the press conference was over.

And the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack is fitness equipment, which takes up a lot of space and is bought by few people. Having 10,000 units in stock is already tens of millions in tied-up funds, which is enough to show how much importance they placed on it.

However, it was better if Chang You didn't explain. The more he explained, the more the audience believed that he was joking.

"Hahahaha, how did CEO Chang manage to hold back from laughing on stage?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen a crosstalk comedian laugh on stage? This is a basic skill. CEO Chang is a professional."

"A project of the same level as the g1? CEO Pei participated in the whole process? Hahahaha, okay, I believe it!"

"How could anyone design something like this without ten years of cerebral hemorrhage?"

"It may be true. Wasn't the fully automatic argument machine designed according to CEO Pei's ideas? It also contains CEO Pei's philosophical thoughts."

"It's true that the argument machine contains philosophical thoughts, but what philosophical thoughts does this clothes-drying rack contain? Is it reminding us that clothes will dry when they are dried in the sun?"

"Good heavens, there are even pictures of the stock? It must be photoshopped, right? If there are more than 1,000 units of this thing in stock, it will probably take a whole year to sell. If there are really 10,000 units in stock, I highly suspect that they will be sold out by the time the Otto e8 mobile phone comes out..."

The scene was already filled with a sea of ​​joy, and Chang You couldn't do anything, so he could only continue to the next part.

He introduced the basic functions of the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack, including the training modes it could perform and how easy it was to use when drying clothes.

In addition, he also introduced that it was equipped with Aeeis, and would be ridiculed by Aeeis when not exercising; he mentioned that Upwind Logistics would provide door-to-door delivery service, warranty service, and a free moving service once a year.

But this seemed to confirm that this was a "joke product" even more. The richer the content, the more fake everyone felt it was.

Finally, Chang You introduced: "In addition, Shang Yang Games has also created a mobile game tailored for the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack. This game is still in the final stage of development and will be available to everyone as early as next week!"

The PPT turned to the last page.

"Next Tuesday, May 15th, we will usher in Tenda's '515 Game Festival', with massive discounts and benefits waiting for you! Detailed rules will be announced at zero o'clock on May 15th, so stay tuned!"

"Okay, that's all for today's press conference. Thank you again for your attendance!"

"Please leave in an orderly manner. You can pick up a free gift at the entrance."

"If you are interested in the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack, you can log in to the Otto Technologies official website or Tenda official mall. Upwind Logistics staff will deliver it to your door as soon as possible!"

Chang You looked at his watch. The time was just right, controlled at one hour, which was perfect.

Although the press conference had ended, everyone's discussion had not.

Most people's discussions focused on the bizarre product of the "Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack," while some people's discussions focused on the two points that Chang You mentioned at the end of the press conference.

"CEO Chang said that Shang Yang Games also developed a game specifically for this equipment? Is that true? Is this a prank, or is it really happening?"

"I think it's mostly a joke. It's already a loss to design this thing. The more you produce, the more you lose. If you develop a game for it, wouldn't that be a loss on top of a loss? Who would do such a stupid thing?"

"But today is not April Fool's Day, and the way CEO Chang looks, he doesn't seem like someone who would deceive the audience."

"They said they are making it, maybe they just created a new folder? Some manufacturers will use this as a gimmick, saying it well at the press conference, but it will only come out after a few months. This kind of thing is not uncommon."

"It may also be a very simple little game that is not even worth mentioning at the press conference. If it were a large-scale game, it would definitely take a lot of space to introduce it. Now, there is not a single word mentioned, not even a picture. Doesn't that already explain the problem?"

"This '515 Game Festival' is quite interesting. Does it have anything to do with the '1024 Digital Festival'?"

"I just want to change my computer recently. Can there be another upgrade event for ROF assembled computers?"

"I don't know, let's pay attention to it at midnight that day. In my experience, any event that CEO Pei calls a 'xx Festival' usually has particularly large discounts. We can look forward to it!"

……

At the same time, Pei Qian also finished watching the press conference on the TV at home, and was nervously paying attention to the sales data on the product details page of the Smart Fitness Clothes-Drying Rack.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed!

Pei Qian took a look every now and then. After a whole hour, the sales figure on this page "reluctantly" broke through 10 and became a double digit.

Pei Qian couldn't help but be overjoyed and let out a long breath.

It's done!
