191: Chapter 190 Test Over!
The press conference for Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. lasted for a full three hours.
Of that time, the host only spent fifteen minutes seriously speaking on the stage, while the rest of the time was entirely devoted to the reporters and audience members who had arrived testing zero egg, and they were tireless in doing so.
There were many people who wanted to test it, but the zero eggs available for testing were extremely limited, and the situation of a single zero egg being hard to come by could be seen everywhere.
Scalpers... sprouted up because of this.
Many testers who had obtained a zero egg, relying on their unique advantage, rented out their zero eggs to those reporters who either hadn't brought their IDs or hadn't managed to grab a zero egg, and they asked for a hefty price.
Naturally, this behavior was met with resistance from righteous individuals.
But as the reporters who had originally held themselves back to wait and see also fell under the charm of the zero egg, the outbreak of a new wave of rental frenzy quickly drowned out these weak voices of resistance.
In the end, to reasonably determine the market price and ensure everyone could make money, the scalpers set the rental price—1,500 yuan for fifteen minutes, or 100 yuan per minute.
This price was absolutely fair, honest to young and old alike, a great value experience, and very reasonable.
With nowhere to lodge a complaint, the reporters accepted it with tears of emotion in their eyes.
Of course, not everyone was a reporter; those audience members who had been attracted to the event didn't need to rush to test it, but instead leisurely ran to the front desk and lined up.
You ask what for?
Of course, to buy a zero egg!
Xie Miao and A-Ya were among them.
In fact, Xie Miao had just successfully obtained a zero egg for testing, and he had also successfully played the role of a scalper once, earning 5,000 yuan.
At this moment, the zero egg he used for testing was still with someone else, but it didn't matter; he had already set it to return automatically, so once the zero egg finished its task, it would scan its location and return to his side on its own.
He had already used this trick twice, and it worked every time; it was very convenient.
As for the principles behind it, he didn't understand them, nor did he want to, as long as it worked, that was enough.
And now, he wanted to buy a zero egg for A-Ya as a gift.
This was perhaps the best gift he could ever give in his life.
A-Ya was very excited, holding Xie Miao's arm and looking at the line ahead, feeling slightly nervous.
She had just asked xiao zhi; there would indeed be zero eggs available for sale at this press conference, but there were only eighty-eight units, and they would be sold while supplies lasted.
If she couldn't buy one this time, she would have to wait for nearly a week.
That was too long; she was already impatient to own her own zero egg.
A dozen minutes passed.
A faint buzzing sound came, and Xie Miao and A-Ya looked up to find that a zero egg had arrived beside them without them knowing when.
Seeing the envious gazes of those around them, Xie Miao felt slightly proud.
"xiao zhi, you're back."
A-Ya squinted her eyes, very fond of xiao zhi.
"Master, Madam." xiao zhi's voice was calm, a very ordinary female voice: "The testing time is about to end, and the pre-sale phase is about to begin."
"I am about to leave you, Master. But I believe we will meet in the near future."
A-Ya was a little sad; in such a short time, she had already gotten used to xiao zhi's presence.
But xiao zhi's words left her slightly puzzled: "xiao zhi, what do you mean by meeting again?"
"The data from the testing phase will be retained. If the Master purchases a zero egg again, you can choose to have xiao zhi accompany you again."
It could do that?
A-Ya looked at Xie Miao beside her with some pleasant surprise, the meaning in her eyes clear, her purpose very obvious.
Xie Miao smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
Only then was A-Ya satisfied.
"Testing time is up, beginning to clear personality data." xiao zhi's voice came out, having reverted to the default male voice: "Please maintain a safe distance, testers; the zero eggs are about to be retrieved."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present saw all the zero eggs on the field rise into the air and hover simultaneously, which was quite spectacular.
Circling slightly for a moment, all the zero eggs converged in one direction, then descended and disappeared into the obstacles.
At this moment, everyone felt a bit empty inside.
And the next moment, everyone erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm, rushing toward the front desk.
They wanted to buy a zero egg! Now!
They couldn't even wait a quarter of an hour!
...
Han Xiaoxin sat backstage, watching the bustling atmosphere at the front through the footage broadcast by zero degree, filled with sighs of admiration.
This press conference looks very successful.
It seems that all his hard practice for so long has paid off; at least now his smile is infectious, and everyone who has seen it says it looks professional.
The boss is truly the boss; it's one thing to be brilliant enough to create something as heaven-defying as the zero egg, but his judgment of people is also so accurate.
Within the crowd, he saw his infinite potential at a single glance.
This is no different from a master identifying a thoroughbred horse.
"Boss." Han Xiaoxin turned to look at Wang Shuo, who was focused on the screen in front of him. Seeing him unmoved, he couldn't help but be a bit surprised: "The press conference is so successful, and zero egg is about to sell like hotcakes; aren't you excited at all?"
"Excited?" Wang Shuo looked up, puzzled: "Why should I be excited?"
"zero egg is very popular! We are going to make money!" Han Xiaoxin widened his eyes: "Our company has been losing money for such a long time, and now that we are finally about to turn a profit, and a large one at that, shouldn't we be excited?"
"Oh, you're talking about that." Wang Shuo lowered his head again, looking at the screen, and said indifferently: "With the quality of zero egg, it would be strange if it couldn't crush other products. This is just normal performance, what is there to be excited about?"
"In the future, don't get excited at every little thing. There will be many more such occasions, and I'm afraid you'll have a myocardial infarction."
Han Xiaoxin: "..."
Why hadn't he noticed before that the boss was such a humblebragger?
Normal performance?
That's true; for the boss, this is indeed normal performance.
But the problem is, others don't know that!
Everyone else is amazed, and you are here as calm as water; do you know how pretentious this looks?
You've hogged all the spotlight, Boss; how are others supposed to have fun and scam investments?
Han Xiaoxin had already started to feel sorry for those big shots.
Facing zero egg, how desperate must they be?
They wouldn't just give up on this track, would they?
They probably wouldn't... right?
Han Xiaoxin muttered to himself, focusing on the display screen of zero degree.
And Wang Shuo stopped talking, also focusing intently on the screen in front of him.
On the screen, it showed the situation of the crowd inside the venue.
If any audience members attending the press conference could come here, they would immediately discover that what was displayed on the screen was a high-definition image of the entire interior of the venue, from every angle.
This was a photo that Wang Shuo had asked Zero to have the zero eggs take temporarily while they were on their way back, and then through certain technical processing, they were stitched together to form a massive, 360-degree high-definition image file.
"Where exactly are you?"
Wang Shuo watched as Zero scanned the entire photo inch by inch, watching as every single face was carefully compared. He slightly relaxed his brows, and in a somewhat suppressed voice, he softly spit out a name.
"Ning Hao!"
