Chapter 1035: Boss Chang Is A Professional At Performance

The audience was obviously confused.

“What is this? It occupies such a huge area?”

“A standing air conditioner? A huge refrigerator? That’s not right. It doesn’t seem like it can take up so much space!”

“This is two meters long. Could it be a wardrobe?”

“Total weight: 200kg! What’s so heavy?”

“It’s already so heavy. How can it be called a ‘smart new product’? How can it be related to ‘smart’?”

Chang You smiled slightly. It looked like the suspense was almost done.

“Alright, it’s time to reveal the mystery behind this new product. Everyone, please watch a promotional video that we have meticulously prepared for this smart new product.”

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

Everyone held their breaths and watched intently.

Everyone wanted to know what this huge monster was!

“Strong chest muscles.”

“Strong back muscles…”

The promotional video that Meng Chang had asked Lin Jiaqiang to film appeared on the big screen.

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

However, in the next second, he gave up on persevering and began drying clothes on the smart fitness drying rack.

“What are you waiting for when the smart fitness drying rack has so many functions? Hurry up and order!”

At the end of the promotional video was Lin Jiaqiang standing beside the smart fitness drying rack. He gave the camera a thumbs up and made a ‘like’ gesture.

He had a homophobic face from the beginning. The last scene had a flattering effect coupled with this unique-looking machine.

Chang You came to the stage again. “This is the masterpiece of our Otto Technologies. It’s a new smart product: smart fitness drying rack!”

“It solved the biggest pain in the gym equipment in one fell swoop: drying clothes is inconvenient!”

“Not only can this equipment be used for fitness, but it can also dry up more than ten pieces of clothing. It also has the automatic drying function and smart reminder function, making the fitness equipment at home no longer a mere decoration!”

Chang You’s serious introduction made the audience burst into laughter again.

“Hahahahaha what the hell? I was wondering why it was so heavy. It’s actually a fitness equipment!”

“Artificial intelligence combined with fitness? Which genius product manager thought of that?!”

“I was wrong. I should not have treated this news conference as a proper news conference from the beginning. Even though I reminded myself countless times that this news conference would most likely be done, I never thought that the existence of the entire news conference would be done!”

“Indeed, I suggest that Boss Chang should charge a price for a ticket next time. You perform your job, do your crosstalk and entertain the audience. Yet, you’re launching a product that you don’t intend to sell at all. You’re not earning our money at all, and you’re even exempting our tickets. That’s really making us feel bad!”

“Indeed, I suggest that you collect entrance fees in the future. After all, it would be quite expensive to design such a funny product in a serious manner without being able to sell it. Everyone would understand if we collect entrance fees to recover.”

The audience was amused by the strange product and Chang You’s serious introduction.

Initially, they had only been looking forward to Chang You’s performance. The product was still a proper product, just like E1.

Chang You had given everyone a surprise unexpectedly. Even the product had come alive!

What was the point of this “smart fitness drying rack”?

There did not seem to be… any.

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

It had to be said that it was rare to see such a conscientious manufacturer who spent a lot of money on research and development, producing samples, and even hosting a news conference to entertain the public.

Cherish it!

As for the product itself…

To be honest, if it was any other product, such as a cell phone or a sweeping robot, the price would be too high or the product’s functions would be very useful after it was released. Everyone would definitely complain.

That was because everyone knew in their hearts that the manufacturer still intended to sell it. It was just that they had failed.

However, this smart fitness drying rack was different.

It seemed like the manufacturer had no intention of selling at all!

If the manufacturer’s products had a small flaw, everyone would think that it was because the manufacturer was not capable enough. However, if the product had too many flaws from head to toe and could not be criticized, everyone would think that the manufacturer was performing and joking with everyone. They did not intend to sell it at all.

Since the manufacturer had no intention to sell it and everyone had no intention to buy it, everyone naturally did not care about any flaws or problems with the price of the product. Instead, they watched the entire process with the attitude of watching a show.

It was just like setting up a stall outside. Anyone that said something was good or bad would probably not be bought at all; only those who kept picking on problems would really be intending to pay.

Chang You could not help but feel helpless seeing the audience’s reaction.

“Why is everyone laughing?”

“I’m seriously introducing this product. This is a project on the same level as the G1 cell phone in our Otto Technologies. It’s very important!”

“In fact, Boss Pei was the one who planned and followed up on the entire project.

“This time, we also prepared 10,000 units in stock for the smart fitness drying rack. Our warehouses in Jingzhou are all filled!”

One had to know that there were only 1,000 E1 cell phones in the first batch of stocks. That was why they were snatched up before the news conference even ended.

On the other hand, the smart fitness drying rack was a fitness equipment. It took up a lot of space and few people bought it. 10,000 units of it meant tens of millions of yuan in payment of goods. That was enough to show how important it was.

However, it would have been better if Chang You had not explained. Once he did, the audience was even more convinced that he was giving a performance.

“Hahaha, how did Boss Chang stop himself from laughing?”

“Rubbish, have you ever seen a crosstalk actor laughing on stage? This is basic knowledge, Boss Chang is a professional.”

“A project on the same level as G1? Boss Pei participated the entire time? Hahahaha, alright, I believe you!”

“You can design something like that without ten years of cerebral hemorrhage?”

“It might be true. Wasn’t the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine designed according to Boss Pei’s ideas? It also contained Boss Pei’s philosophy.”

“It’s true that the Bickering Machine contains philosophy, but what philosophy does this drying rack contain? Does it remind us that our clothes would dry if they were sunned?”

“Impressive, are there still pictures of these stocks? They should be photoshopped right? They would probably need to be sold for an entire year even if there are more than 1,000 of these stocks. If there are really 10,000 stocks, I highly doubt if they can be sold out by the time Otto E8’s cell phone is released…”

The entire place was filled with laughter, Chang You had no choice but to continue with the next segment.

He introduced the basic functions of the smart fitness drying rack, including its training mode and how good it was when drying clothes.

Apart from that, he also introduced to ride AEEIS. AEEIS would mock it when it did not work out; it mentioned that Upwind Logistics would provide delivery services, maintenance services, and the annual pack moving service.

However, this seemed to confirm that this was a “live product”. The more content there was, the more fake everyone felt.

Finally, Chang You introduced the game. “Apart from that, Shang Yang Games has also customized a mobile game for the smart fitness drying rack. This game is still in the final stages of research and development. I will meet everyone next week as soon as possible!”

He flipped to the last page.

“Next Tuesday, which is May 15th, we will be welcoming Tengda’s’ 515 Games Festival ‘. You will be receiving a huge amount of benefits! Please wait for the announcement of the detailed rules at midnight on May 15th!”

“Alright, this is the entire contents of this news conference. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone!”

“Please leave the venue in an orderly manner. You can collect free gifts at the entrance.”

“If everyone is interested in the smart fitness drying rack, you can log onto the official website of Otto Technologies or Tengda’s official shopping center. The staff of Upwind Logistics will deliver it to you immediately!”

Chang You looked at his watch. His time control was just right, one hour. It was perfect.

The news conference might have ended but not the discussion.

Most people’s discussions were focused on the strange product that was the “smart fitness drying rack”. Some people’s discussions were focused on the last two points that Chang You mentioned at the news conference.

“Boss Chang said that Shang Yang Games specially developed a game for this equipment? Is that true? Is this a prank or is it true?”

“I think it’s most likely a joke. They’ve already incurred losses by designing this machine. They’ll incur losses no matter how much they produce. Wouldn’t they incur losses if they were to develop another game for it? Who would do such a foolish thing?”

“But today is not April Fool’s Day. What’s more, I don’t think Boss Chang is someone who would lie to the audience.”

“They said they were doing it, but they might be just creating some news. Some manufacturers would use this as a gimmick. It was said at the news conference, but it only appeared a few months later. Such things are not uncommon.”

“It could also be a very simple little game. It might not even be worth mentioning at the news conference. If it was a large-scale game, it would definitely have to spend a lot of time introducing it. Now, it doesn’t even mention a word or even have a picture. Isn’t that enough to explain the problem?”

“This’ 515 Game Festival ‘is quite interesting. What does it have to do with 1024 Digital Day?”

“Coincidentally, I want to change my computer recently. Can they do a promotion for ROF Computer-Installation?”

“I don’t know. I’ll pay attention to it in the wee hours of the morning. Based on my experience, anyday called ‘XX Day’ by Boss Pei would have a huge discount. I can look forward to it!”

…

At the same time, Pei Qian had finished watching the news conference on his home television. He was nervously watching the sales figures of the smart fitness drying rack.

10 minutes had passed.

Half an hour had passed.

An hour passed!

Pei Qian looked at it every now and then. After an entire hour, the sales figure on this page ‘unwillingly’ broke through 10 and became double digits.

Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed as he heaved a sigh of relief.

It worked!
