The launch event continued.

It was obvious that Jiang Yuan was still a bit nervous, but he was trying to adjust his emotions, speaking in a slow, smooth tone as much as possible to avoid giving an impression of haste or anxiety.

But this approach made the atmosphere of the entire launch event even more dull, making people feel somewhat drowsy.

“Today’s launch event theme is the ‘Embracing the Future’ Exchange and Sharing Session. We will share several new technologies that mainstream phones will inevitably adopt on a large scale in the near future, including artificial intelligence technology, full-screen technology, under-screen fingerprint technology, 3D structured light facial recognition technology, screen sound technology, 3D Touch, fast charging technology…”

Jiang Yuan rattled off all sorts of new technologies in the mobile phone industry.

Pei Qian was taken aback, feeling that something seemed off.

Because among the technologies Jiang Yuan introduced, some technologies hadn’t even been adopted by the OTTO G1 phone!

For example, 3D structured light facial recognition required a notch screen since this technology needed several front cameras to be placed on the front of the phone, which was completely at odds with the front camera solution used by the G1 phone. The two were almost impossible to coexist.

But Jiang Yuan still discussed this solution together with the pop-up camera solution and the under-screen fingerprint solution, carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.

The audience, who initially felt drowsy and uninterested, gradually started paying attention.

Because when describing these solutions, the PPT also included some conceptual designs, such as how a new technology would change people’s current phone usage habits when applied to the mobile phone field? How would it change the appearance of phones?

This content was quite attractive to many enthusiasts who followed the digital field and mobile phone development, because they weren’t professionals and usually didn’t have access to this knowledge.

Now, hearing about these relatively cutting-edge digital knowledge, even if it was purely educational, it was still pretty good.

But for ordinary audience members, this part was quite torturous, because many ordinary viewers were more concerned about the practicality of phones. These technologies might be good, but what use were they if they couldn’t be applied yet?

Moreover, since this launch event was called an “Exchange and Sharing Session” from the beginning, and Jiang Yuan started by extensively discussing various new technologies that seemed unlikely to be mass-produced in the short term, the audience became a bit restless.

There was a buzzing sound of discussion in the venue, and even the two tech media guys in front of Pei Qian were whispering to each other.

“This content is quite good, but I guess only people like us who are passionate about digital technology can really appreciate it?”

“Indeed, it seems like others are getting a bit fidgety.”

“Everyone came for Manager Chang’s launch event. Not only is there no comedy to watch, but they’re not even releasing a new product? When will these new technologies be commercially available?”

“True, talking about these new technologies seems pointless…”

Clearly, the vast majority of people present felt as confused as these two guys.

Why on earth was OTTO Technology holding this grand launch event?

What did we come here for?

The key issue was that these new technologies were basically supply chain technologies, not self-developed by OTTO Technology. What was the point of introducing them at length—was this promoting business for others?

If people hadn’t known in advance that this launch event would only last an hour, many might have been unable to resist leaving already.

It was really unbearable!

Seeing such an atmosphere at the launch event, Pei Qian was overjoyed.

Perfect!

Changing the speaker really worked!

If Chang You had hosted this launch event, he might have used his silver tongue to add a few funny jokes while introducing these technologies, causing the venue to erupt in laughter. Even if the content itself was dry, he could have held the audience’s attention for a long time.

But Jiang Yuan didn’t have that eloquence and clearly hadn’t prepared any jokes beforehand. He was just introducing the various new technologies in a conventional way, making it very easy for people to get sleepy.

Pei Qian had just one question.

Where was the phone?

Wasn’t this supposed to be the OTTO G1 phone launch? Why hadn’t there been any mention of it so far?

If Pei Qian hadn’t already known the true purpose of this launch event, he would have thought, like other attendees, that this was purely a technical sharing session.

Soon, all the key technologies were finally introduced.

The patience of the audience was nearly at its limit, but fortunately, it hadn’t been too long. Most people had still been listening and gained some understanding of these new technologies.

The timing was just right.

Jiang Yuan had sensed the dissatisfied atmosphere in the venue and was a bit panicked. Although this atmosphere was deliberately created, its depression was clearly beyond his expectations.

But just then, he suddenly spotted a familiar face in the fifth row.

It was Mr. Pei!

Mr. Pei wore a smile, his face seemingly full of trust and encouragement.

Jiang Yuan’s confidence suddenly surged.

That’s right, this was the approach Mr. Pei had arranged. What was there to worry about? As long as he proceeded according to plan, he would definitely achieve the desired effect!

With this thought, Jiang Yuan pressed the remote and continued.

“Now, having understood these new technologies in the mobile phone field, we can predict the future form and development direction of mobile phones.”

“As mobile terminals, phones will inevitably play an increasingly important role in our lives. Future phones will certainly be highly integrated and refined, carrying all the functions we can think of and serving as a window to display as much information as possible to us.”

“We often see similar scenes in movies: a sci-fi phone is just a pure transparent piece of glass that can directly display various information; or three-dimensional projections can appear on this glass, allowing us to interact with this information through gestures in a three-dimensional space…”

“Although these technologies are still too distant, we can explore in this direction using existing technologies. Expanding the screen size within the limited space on the front of the phone, allowing it to present more information at the same time, is clearly the direction of future efforts.”

Jiang Yuan briefly introduced the current full-screen solutions, including the notched screen being developed for Pineapple’s flagship product, as well as various full-screen solutions being researched by other domestic phone manufacturers.

The big screen displayed some concepts for phone screen designs, mostly various notched screens, all with different sections missing.

Among them, mixed in was a full-screen display without any notches, which was quite eye-catching.

Jiang Yuan pressed the remote, and this notch-free full-screen moved to the main position on the page, while all the other notched phone designs disappeared.

“Next, allow me to introduce OTTO Technology’s latest phone, the OTTO G1!”

“This phone adopts what we previously introduced as the most extreme and radical full-screen design solution currently available: the pop-up camera solution. With this solution, we’ve successfully increased the phone’s screen-to-body ratio to over 90%. Additionally, we’ve equipped this phone with under-screen fingerprint technology, fast charging technology…”

Jiang Yuan’s pace suddenly quickened, rapidly introducing all the advantages of the G1 phone.

After the previous groundwork, everyone in the venue had a fairly deep understanding of full-screen technology, pop-up cameras, under-screen fingerprints, and other technologies. So when Jiang Yuan simply stacked these terms together, it was enough to create a strong impact on the audience.

Many people were clearly stunned.

“What does this mean?”

“A new phone?”

“Wasn’t this supposed to be a new technology exchange and sharing session? Why are they suddenly introducing a phone?”

“This phone looks so impressive, the front is entirely screen, it looks amazing!”

“These two physical buttons specifically for gaming also look interesting.”

“This should be a concept phone that can’t be mass-produced, right? Probably just to show off.”

However, while the audience was still discussing, Jiang Yuan had quickly moved on to the next segment.

“The advantages and disadvantages of these new technologies have been introduced in great detail earlier.”

“Now, let’s move on to the pricing segment.”

“The OTTO G1 phone has a starting price of 9,899 yuan, with the high-storage version priced at 9,999 yuan.”

“In addition, we’re launching a ‘Mission and Choice’ Special Edition for 10,199 yuan!”

“This phone has been exclusively optimized for multiple Tenda mobile games. The shoulder button design can significantly enhance your gaming experience…”

“This phone includes the same full set of Tenda benefits as the E1. If you’re an existing E1 phone customer, you can also enjoy an exclusive trade-in program.”

“Since both the E1 and G1 phones include Tenda benefits, existing users don’t need to purchase these benefits again when buying this phone and can enjoy a 3,000 yuan discount. Furthermore, the E1 phone can be traded in at a depreciated value, further reducing your purchase cost…”

The new phone launch segment and the pricing segment came out almost back-to-back, with barely a few minutes in between. Many in the audience hadn’t even processed what was happening before a string of numbers hit them in the face.

Previously, many people had thought this was a concept phone that couldn’t be mass-produced, meant to showcase technology. But once the price was displayed, they were all stunned.

“This isn’t a concept phone, it’s already in mass production and for sale!”

“Wow, this ‘Mission and Choice’ Special Edition looks so cool!”

“What’s with this pricing? The Special Edition is only this much more expensive? The high storage version is also only this much more? Anyone who buys the standard version is an idiot!”

“A direct 3,000 yuan discount for existing users?!”

“That makes sense, since existing users’ Tenda benefits are lifetime, it wouldn’t be appropriate to buy them again.”

“But the impact is so strong! A phone around 10,000 yuan, with a 3,000 yuan direct discount for existing users. If you factor in the depreciation of your current phone, given the E1 phone’s high retention value, even if it depreciates by 3,000 yuan, you’d only need to add a little over 3,000 yuan to switch to this cool phone—it feels like an incredible deal!”

“Indeed, this appearance is so distinctive. Whether for personal use or as a gift, it seems really great!”

The launch event instantly boiled over!

Jiang Yuan had been lecturing about various new technologies, educating everyone about full-screen solutions. Although most people had been listening drowsily, they had gained a basic understanding of these technologies.

Originally, no one expected a phone to be launched now—they all thought it would be at least half a year or a year later.

Unexpectedly, OTTO Technology skipped the concept phone stage entirely and brought out a mass-produced finished product for sale!

Although these technologies had many shortcomings, just having them available for purchase was good enough—what more could you ask for?

This feeling of surprise instantly washed away concerns about the new technology’s defects, making everyone eager to be guinea pigs and experience the charm of the new technology.

Additionally, the subsequent series of benefits, including unprecedented discounts for existing users and various promotions targeting Tenda mobile games, further solidified everyone’s resolve.

Normally, if other phone manufacturers released a phone priced as high as 10,000 yuan, they would definitely be criticized harshly.

But oddly enough, when OTTO released a 10,000 yuan phone, hardly anyone complained.

Although most people still thought it was expensive, many felt it offered great value for money—this was the most absurd part!

Many people in the venue stopped watching the launch event content and directly took out their phones to find the purchase page for the OTTO G1 phone.

Fake fans were still listening to the launch event introduction; true fans were already hitting the buy button.

Because the E1 phone had limited stock and sold out instantly before the launch event even ended, true fans had learned their lesson. They knew that this phone’s stock probably wouldn’t last until the end of the launch event either, so they had to act fast!

Seeing the audience suddenly transform from lifeless to so excited, Pei Qian was instantly dumbfounded.

He looked up at Jiang Yuan, who winked his right eye at him with an expression of “we’re perfectly in sync.”

Pei Qian was even more confused.

What was going on?!
