206: Chapter 205 I'll pay!
Sipping soda while listening to zero degree broadcast the day's news, and waiting for the big fish to take the bait, Han Xiaoxin felt very comfortable.
But someone else was not very comfortable.
Beijing City, villa district.
Zhi Shu looked at the content on his tablet, his expression darkening slightly.
Since he had been allowed to participate in decision-making, it had been a long time since he felt this baffled.
In previous cases, when had he not held all the cards? When had he not been able to make those wealthy tycoons scramble with just a few words? When had he not easily grasped the movements of his opponents?
Except for this time.
"They... released an 'Artificial Intelligence'?"
Zhi Shu spoke, his voice filled with a hint of doubt and disbelief.
"Yes, Young Master Zhi Shu."
The female secretary replied respectfully.
"Claiming to be the world's number one? And boasting to be the absolute peak of the computer field?"
Watching the female secretary nod again, Zhi Shu put down the tablet in his hand, feeling somewhat bewildered.
Why was he having trouble understanding this company's operations?
Releasing a heavyweight product was a path he had long anticipated, but what he never expected was... that the product released by Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. this time would be "Artificial Intelligence".
Although they needed a big gimmick to attract attention to save Chen Group from dire straits, this gimmick that Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. came up with was a bit too big, wasn't it?
Not only did it completely suppress the heat of the "Mark I System", but it also exposed them to the eyes of major internet corporate giants across China and even the world.
Wasn't this a case of the loss outweighing the gain?
Or could it be... that this was their original goal?
What benefit was there for them to be exposed to everyone's eyes?
Zhi Shu frowned and fell into deep thought.
The female secretary waited quietly; she was very familiar with this state and was not at all anxious.
However, a slight vibration brought her back to her senses.
She took out her phone to check it, then lifted her eyes slightly to look at the still-contemplating Zhi Shu. The female secretary hesitated for a moment, then tapped her knuckles on the table.
The sound startled Zhi Shu; he looked up at the female secretary with an unhappy expression.
"Young Master Zhi Shu, I am very sorry to disturb you." The female secretary said: "But the Board of Directors wants to know, how do you intend to handle this matter?"
"How to handle it?" Zhi Shu frowned slightly: "Of course, execute it according to the plan. Regardless of whether the zero egg released by Frontier Company is a gimmick, it has a physical form. If it has a physical form, it requires manufacturing, and if there is manufacturing, there will be demand."
"Go investigate the supply chain of this zero egg. See if there are any manufacturers we can influence and make them cut off supply; for those we cannot influence, acquire them with heavy capital."
"Understood." The female secretary nodded slightly: "I will have someone look into it as soon as possible."
"Also." Zhi Shu lifted his eyes: "Contact that group of people at Qingshui; I need some public opinion atmosphere, and the pay will be generous."
The female secretary continued to nod.
"And, contact the most popular streamers, bloggers, and major influencers on the internet right now. I want them to start promoting the zero egg and ordering the zero egg."
"Ordering the zero egg?"
The female secretary looked up, glancing at Zhi Shu with some surprise.
At this moment, Zhi Shu had already regained his composed appearance and said indifferently: "Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. is a small company. A small company means limited resources, and it also means limited R&D. I am more inclined to believe that the Artificial Intelligence they released is just a gimmick for some purpose."
"Moreover, their sales method is a pre-sale system, which further confirms my judgment and also tells me that even if it is a gimmick product, their production capacity is insufficient."
"So... crushing their production line is the final step of this plan. As long as the idea that Frontier Technology Company is engaging in hunger marketing takes root in people's hearts, it will inevitably affect their plans."
Suppressing the supply chain, while creating a public opinion atmosphere of hunger marketing for the zero egg, plus the overwhelmed production line.
With these three prongs, even Chen Group would find it difficult to handle.
This was the big gift he was giving to Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.
If they couldn't handle this gift, then don't blame him, Zhi Shu, for not showing respect.
This time, he would make this small company that had inadvertently inserted itself between him and Chen Group disappear completely, letting everything return to the right track.
And this time, it would be this company's most brilliant curtain call.
Like an Epiphyllum in bloom.
...
Liu Chuanfeng was very conflicted at this moment.
He looked at the email displayed on his computer screen, pondered slightly, and then opened another page, which was also an email.
Two emails, but the content was different.
One was offering money, and one was demanding money.
He had seen many emails offering money; working in this line of business, he relied on this to make a living.
But this was his first time seeing an email demanding money, so much so that when he saw this email, he even doubted whether he had read it wrong.
This was an anonymous email that popped up while Liu Chuanfeng was checking information.
The content was very simple.
"Me, I have intelligence on Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.'s zero egg and the zero egg production line, pay money, 20,000 yuan."
The tone was extremely arrogant, and the attitude was incredibly aggressive.
Liu Chuanfeng originally wanted to just close it, but thinking about his video that had become incredibly popular, he hesitated slightly.
What if this was true?
A single baseless video had already made him red-hot.
What would happen if he released another video with detailed information?
Would those skeptical netizens push him onto a pedestal?
Would he reach a new peak?
Thinking of this, Liu Chuanfeng's heart warmed slightly.
Not to mention anything else, if he could really go up another level, he could eat his meals with more confidence.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Chuanfeng clicked the link attached to the email and entered a payment interface.
He took out his phone, scanned the code, and paid.
A new email was sent to his inbox.
He clicked it open and viewed it.
This was a very simple document, not many words, with a few photos attached.
Liu Chuanfeng read it carefully once and was immediately overjoyed.
This information came at such a timely moment.
This anonymous person was a good guy; what he lacked right now was such convincing material.
At this moment, looking back at the email offering money, Liu Chuanfeng couldn't help but sneer.
Want me to brag about the zero egg?
Hmph!
Don't even think about it!
So what if you give money? Can 30,000 yuan make me sell myself? Can it make me lose my principles?
Absolutely impossible!
At this very moment, I, Liu Chuanfeng, am a staunch skeptic, never wavering.
Liu Chuanfeng's eyes were full of determination as he closed the email offering money.
Compared to the great goal of increasing popularity, things like 30,000 yuan were really not worth mentioning.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Chuanfeng opened a blank document and began to plan the script.
After thinking for a while, he gently typed out a few words.
"zero egg, the scam of the century?"
Liu Chuanfeng, who was concentrating on writing the script, did not know that just as he received the email, the personal inboxes of major streamers had all received the same email.
The content was equally shocking.
"Me, pay money!"
