Chapter 768: Jebs, Trust Me! It’s Fine

Chewing on a garlic pork rib, Luke said vaguely, “Of course… I don’t.”

Selina was speechless.

“But he’s definitely a big star,” Luke added unhurriedly.

Selina snorted. “Of course! Hm, let me see who these two are.”

Picking up another tablet, she did a quick search, then sighed. “Carrie Bobosha, a famous model, singer, and actress from the 1990s. She currently runs a record company and mainly does charity work.”

“Kenny Brooks, a famous country singer from the 1980s. Hm, actually, he’s still the most famous country singer now, or at least in the top five.”

Luke shrugged. “What a pity, I haven’t heard his songs before.”

Selina glanced at him. “You’ve never liked country music, of course you don’t know this Kenny. Carrie is a world-class model. Haven’t you seen her bikini cover shoots before when you were little?”

Luke asked her to show him Carrie’s file.

He glanced at the woman and nodded. “So it’s her. When I was in high school, I thought she had long legs, but her chest was too flat. She was a popular cover girl back then.”

Selina returned to her tablet and said angrily, “Do you only remember that she has a flat chest?”

Luke said helplessly, “Are long legs the only thing I’m supposed to remember?”

Selina’s mind whirled. “Forget it. Just remember the flat chest then.” She subconsciously stuck out her own chest.

Long legs weren’t her forte, but her breasts were one of her most outstanding qualities…

The next day, Luke received a call from Jenny.

The overbearing female CEO of the phone company asked, “Are you sure you’re not going to come and give me moral support?”

Luke thought for a moment before he smiled. “I don’t have to, right? You can wear comfortable clothes to the press conference; the best would be jeans and a casual top. You can think of the people below the stage like classmates listening to you brag.”

Jenny was still uncertain. “Can a press conference really be done like that? Usually, a press conference has to be serious and formal.”

Luke chuckled. “Jebs! Trust me, it’s fine.”

Jenny was confused. “What Jebs?”

As long as it isn’t Lebs[1]**, it’s fine! Luke murmured to himself. “What we’re making are new phones that aren’t available on the market. They’re epoch-making products that can change how people live and work. Why do we need to learn from those big, old-fashioned companies? You’re the CEO. Even I, the chairman of the board, can’t control how you hold a press conference. What are you afraid of?”

Jenny immediately pooh pooh’ed, but a smile appeared on her face. “You said it yourself. If anyone makes fun of me, you owe me dinner.”

“Fine.” Luke wasn’t scared at all. “The more relaxed you are, the more convincing you’ll be. This press conference is meant for young people. They don’t like old people or stereotypes. Just do it, Madam CEO.”

After getting this reassurance, Jenny finally hung up and went to prepare for the press conference.

The news conference for the Titanium phones would be held tonight, which was the night of August 7. At midnight on August 8, the first round of limited sales would officially begin.

Luke smiled. “We’re finally going to make a fortune.”

Selina hummed and didn’t pay much attention.

She couldn’t live without her fake phone and tablet.

After experiencing the power of a smartphone for herself, she knew that it wouldn’t be hard to sell the Titanium phones.

Many people might be able to resist the communication function of the Titanium phones, but young people wouldn’t be able to resist the convenience and the various designs of such an entertainment product.

A lot of women would shell out money just to be able to take photos and short videos with the phone, and it wouldn’t be just young women.

Even an eighty-year-old woman would be of a mind to show off.

There were plenty of trendy old ladies in this country.

Selina simply asked, “What are you going to do with the money?”

Luke chuckled. “The Titanium phone company’s headquarters will be in Nassau County.”

Selina was stumped. “Is that what you want to do? Since it’s near New York, why don’t you choose New Jersey?”

Luke said, “In any case, the distance is about the same. The New Jersey land that’s close to New York also isn’t cheap.”

The crux was that New Jersey was right next to New York’s Manhattan. Land prices were higher because of the rivers.

It was too easy to run into some “free and efficient””demolition groups” in Manhattan. Luke didn’t want his company to get caught up in it, and have to rebuild the building in a few years.

Nassau County, on the other hand, was a lot safer. It was separated from Manhattan by the whole of Queens, and they wouldn’t be as unlucky there.

“What about you? When are you going to buy a ranch for your dad?” he asked.

Selina said, “I’ve already discussed it with my mom. She’ll ask Robert to help buy a ranch. Well, it’ll probably be right next to your grandpa’s ranch.”

Luke: “…Are you serious?”

Selina shrugged. “Robert told me that this way, we can set up a joint farm and ranch company, and leave most of the management work to the people in the company. My dad can do whatever he wants on his own ranch and rest whenever he wants.”

Luke said, “Alright, that does sound like a good choice.”

Luke didn’t know what the press conference was like. He didn’t watch it at all.

The most important thing was the phone itself.

If Jenny’s press conference was a little old-fashioned, it wouldn’t make the headlines.

If she succeeded, she would become a rising star in the American business world, and at the same time, provide a new conference model for launching tech products.

At that moment, he and Selina went out again as Terminator and Beast, and started another round of combat training.

Even the three girls had a special training program; Selina naturally couldn’t be left out.

The three girls were just pawns that he had casually picked up, but Selina was his important partner, and he had high hopes for her.

After beating up two groups of gangsters, they passed a street in the middle of the city. Selina asked curiously, “What are these people doing? They don’t look like homeless people.”

Luke said, “They’re in line to buy something.”

Selina asked, “What is it? Discounted toilet paper?”

Luke: “Titanium phones.”

Selina narrowed her eyes and looked at the dark shop sign for a moment. “Wow, they’re so proactive.”

Luke was amused. “The first hundred customers who enter each store can buy the second gen version at first gen prices.”

Selina asked, “Aren’t you afraid of losing money?”

Luke led her to the edge of the roof and pointed at a few street corners. “Do you see those people?”

Selina observed for a moment. “Let me see… why do they look like paparazzi?”

Luke chuckled. “It’s the paparazzi. The Titanium phone company has them working overtime. It’ll be in the news tomorrow that the Titanium phone is a hot seller, with customers lining up in front of numerous stores very early in the morning.”

Selina’s eyes widened. “Was that your idea?” It sounded a lot like something Luke would do.
