The introduction for the gaming router appeared on the big screen.

“Gentlemen, please make sure to share this promotional video with your girlfriends or wives. Because this latest model wireless router will absolutely solve any lag issues she might encounter while online shopping or streaming dramas!”

“The newest WiFi technology brings you the fastest and smoothest WiFi experience, supporting multiple devices connected to the same network with intelligent speed allocation, guaranteeing bandwidth for each device. Multiple interfaces support simultaneous connections from phones, computers, TVs, and various other devices.”

“Comes with a built-in 1TB solid-state drive. Store the past 10 years of selfies and videos, recording every precious moment.”

“It can also store vast amounts of high-definition movies, with a built-in network TV box, giving you access to a massive library of films and TV shows.”

“The latest computer-grade flagship chip ensures smooth processing, while the multi-dimensional cooling system handles massive data computations without throttling.”

“Unique black and white design complements any style. No more hiding your ugly router—you can proudly display it anywhere.”

“Additionally, the latest screen-casting technology allows the router to cast to any display device. Seamlessly transfer your late-night binge-watching from the living room to the bedroom TV—absolutely convenient and quick!”

“Furthermore, the gaming router’s specialized technology allocates dedicated frequency bands for gamers, so you no longer need to worry about competing with your girlfriend’s streaming for bandwidth.”

“Gentlemen, if you love her, choose this Tenda wireless gaming router for her! Don’t let her fall behind her friends while watching dramas!”

Accompanied by passionate and serious narration, the video showcased various details of the gaming router.

Eight large antennas, abundant ports, and the flashing router lights on top all proclaimed this as a legitimate router product.

The video also featured numerous living room scenes, showing how grand and harmonious this router looked next to the living room TV, without any hint of incongruity.

Of course, compared to regular routers, two aspects seemed slightly odd.

First, its size was several times larger than ordinary routers.

But this was understandable—as the latest router with powerful functions, larger data transmission requires more from chips and cooling. Making the machine bigger to enhance cooling capacity made perfect sense.

Second, it had a disc drive.

But this wasn’t a major issue either, as a version without a disc drive was available at a slightly lower price. Even for the version with a disc drive, it was clearly explained that the drive was for playing high-definition Blu-ray movies.

Many movie enthusiasts have collected numerous high-definition Blu-ray discs, but most households no longer keep dedicated DVD players. Since this gaming router already integrated TV box functionality and other viewing requirements, adding Blu-ray playback capability was reasonable.

The press conference continued, with Chang You detailing the new technologies used in the router, along with various specifications.

He explained that it used a professional computer-grade chip, and its massive solid-state drive capacity, memory, and high-specification cooling determined its ability to perform demanding tasks.

As for the router technology itself, it was certainly top-tier—after all, routers costing around 1,000 yuan were already considered extremely high-end, far exceeding most households’ bandwidth capabilities.

As Chang You continued his serious presentation, the audience below became increasingly suspicious.

They exchanged knowing smiles, revealing ambiguous expressions.

Clearly, everyone had figured out what this device really was.

This was no router at all—it was obviously a gaming console!

Although the press conference never once mentioned its identity as a gaming console, anyone with even minimal hardware knowledge would understand that routers don’t need computer-grade processors or such large hard drives.

Besides, no matter how advanced a router might be, it could never possibly cost over 4,000 yuan! Even 1,000 yuan was expensive, falling into the high-end router category.

After discovering that this so-called gaming router was actually a gaming console, everyone in the audience became excited.

“Holy crap! Tenda has actually released a gaming console?”

“Gaming consoles are something only foreign companies can pull off!”

“But if any gaming company deserves to release a console, it would be Tenda.”

“Absolutely! Tenda’s first-party lineup is excellent enough. Not only do they have Tenda Games, Shangyang Games, and Chi Xing Studio as first-party development teams, but they also have numerous third-party games from the Dead End Project, the Independent Game Incubation Base, and the Recruit Games platform. This game lineup is definitely strong enough to support a gaming console!”

“Plus, Tenda Group has enough player fans and a good enough reputation to sustain sales.”

“Comparatively, many foreign consoles’ Chinese versions actually have various issues. At least domestically, Tenda’s gaming console would be quite competitive in certain aspects compared to the Chinese versions of foreign gaming consoles.”

“No wonder Mr. Pei finally dropped the act recently and integrated content from the Recruit Games platform and the Independent Game Incubation Base—turns out he was laying the groundwork for this gaming console!”

“Wait, if it’s a gaming console, why make it look like a router? And why not mention the console at all during the press conference?”

“Don’t you get it? This is clearly a benefit for men! No more worrying about explaining to your wife why you’re buying a gaming console—now you can legitimately say you’re buying the latest router.”

“The promotional video is completely targeted at women who don’t play games, directly addressing their biggest pain points—slow internet when shopping or laggy streaming. This router might be a bit pricey, but it perfectly fits the concept of affordable luxury. Isn’t this exactly the kind of product that aligns with female consumption habits?”

“I see now. Brilliant!”

“Quick, everyone, from now on, we must all stick to the same story. This isn’t a gaming console—it’s a genuine router, and a fast one at that—the ultimate streaming companion.”

“That’s right. Calling it the ultimate streaming companion isn’t wrong either. Didn’t you see it has various built-in video software and a TV box, and even a disc drive specifically for Blu-ray discs?”

The venue erupted with several bursts of meaningful laughter, but everyone quickly resumed their serious demeanor.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, praising this router as a truly epoch-making product!

Chang You, just like before, struggled to maintain a straight face as he continued with the presentation.

“Furthermore, this latest gaming router comes with a free casual home game, and also includes a new-age multifunctional remote control.”

“This remote control features an ergonomic design that better fits the palm, with a built-in microphone supporting voice assistant activation to control the router.”

“Of course, if you don’t need the router, versions without a disc drive or remote control are available at a discounted price.”

“One hour after this press conference ends, Outu Technology’s official website will open pre-sales for the gaming router. Although we’ve prepared sufficient stock, considering our fans’ enthusiasm, I must seriously remind everyone to be ready on time—once you miss out, you’ll have to wait for the next batch.”

“Additionally, our Outu X1 phone will begin selling simultaneously with Shenhua Group’s folding screen phone in the next couple of days. Please stay tuned.”

“Well, that concludes all content for this press conference. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your attendance!”

“Please exit in an orderly manner. Free small gifts are available at the entrance.”

“If you’re interested in Outu Technology’s various products, you can visit Outu Technology’s official website or experience them firsthand at Tenda experience stores or specialty stores. Once again, thank you sincerely for coming.”

The press conference ended perfectly at the one-hour mark.

Although two new products were released this time, the overall introduction of these products continued the previous style of being as concise as possible, so the timing was just right.

While the press conference had ended, the discussions among the audience didn’t—instead, they became more enthusiastic.

“President Chang really committed to the act. If I weren’t so clever, I wouldn’t have realized this was a gaming console!”

“But President Chang didn’t mention the most important thing! He only mentioned including a casual game. Is that supposed to be their exclusive game?”

“It might not be an exclusive game, but rather a launch title. In my view, although Tenda has many players now, considering the current state of the gaming market, talking about exclusive games seems premature—it feels a bit like bundling. I think they’ll likely choose a substantial launch title, plus some additional console-specific benefits. This would better balance the demands of different player groups!”

“I’m not saying anything else—just waiting to grab one. After all, this is Tenda’s first gaming console, which has certain commemorative significance.”

“Let’s wait and see about the console. I’m more interested in the folding screen phone. Although it’s 500 yuan more expensive than Shenhua Group’s, considering the scarcity of folding screens, they’ll definitely sell out quickly. Paying an extra 500 yuan for a Tenda special edition is better than paying scalpers.”

“Bottom line: just grab Tenda’s new products. You definitely won’t be disappointed.”

“I think we should wait and see. After all, Tenda always has plenty of stock. Even if you can’t buy it immediately, just wait a bit and more will become available.”

“By the way, everyone must stick to the same story! This is a router—there’s no such thing as a gaming console, understand?”
