186: Chapter 186: Television and Projector Manufacturers Are Having a Collective Sleepless Night

"Come. You just focus on the creation. I'll handle the rest."

Sure enough, the next second, he calmly added another sentence:

"Additionally, the platform will establish a separate creator support program."

"For projects that perform well enough, Guanghui Technology will provide traffic, resources, and technical support."

"If the potential is great enough—"

He paused, his tone remaining calm.

"We will invest directly."

The entire audience was stunned at first.

Then, a wave of noise, even louder than the commotion just moments ago, erupted.

This wasn't just an open platform anymore.

This was paving the entire growth path for you.

Create it. Launch it. Make money.

If it blows up, the platform promotes it.

If it has enough potential, even investment follows immediately.

How could this still be considered a simple technology launch event?

This was clearly poaching talent right in front of all the content manufacturers and distribution platforms.

In the backstage area, Wang Peng was already numb from listening.

"It's over..."

"It's really over this time..."

"Brother is not just poaching people; he's uprooting them."

Lu Yaoguang was also so shocked that she couldn't respond for a moment.

She knew all too well the lethality of this combination of moves.

First, raising the ceiling with technology.

Now, pulling the grassroots developers over with revenue sharing and investment.

This wasn't building a platform anymore.

This was an open grab for the ecosystem.

On stage, Lu Li finally turned to the last few pages of the presentation.

Everyone knew—it was time for the most critical moment.

The price.

Often, specifications determine the level of discussion.

But what truly determines whether a launch event becomes legendary is often that final number.

Lu Li didn't intentionally keep everyone in suspense.

He looked up at the audience, his tone as calm as ever.

"Finally, let's talk about the price."

The venue went quiet all at once.

Even Wang Peng in the backstage area subconsciously sat up straight.

In the overseas conference room, those people from Google also lifted their heads again.

They were already feeling very uncomfortable.

But at least, the matter of price would determine just how exaggerated the commercial impact of today's launch event would be.

The big screen lit up.

[Guanghui Technology 8]

[Starting at 128GB]

Lu Li spoke:

"Guanghui Technology 8, starting at 3,599 yuan."

The entire audience was silent for a moment. Then, as if everyone's reaction was a beat slow, it exploded with a roar.

"How much?!"

"3,599?!"

"Are you crazy or am I crazy? With these specs, this appearance, and this AI, you're selling it for 3,599?!"

"Full-screen display + pop-up front camera + 20x optical zoom + full version of Tech Director Dou Bao... and you're telling me 3,599?!"

"Competitors really shouldn't sleep tonight, seriously, don't sleep!"

In the backstage area, Wang Peng sprang up from his chair.

"Holy crap!"

"Brother didn't tell me about this price beforehand! This is way too low!!"

Lu Yaoguang was also stunned, then her eyes lit up amazingly.

She had guessed the price earlier, but she really hadn't expected Lu Li to slash the knife so ruthlessly.

This wasn't just pricing. This was dragging the entire high-end flagship market down and beating it up.

On stage, the big screen had already switched to the next page.

[Guanghui Technology 8 Ultra]

[Starting at 128GB]

Lu Li's tone was as calm as if he were reciting a menu.

"Guanghui Technology 8 Ultra, starting at 3,999 yuan."

This time, there wasn't even a brief silence in the venue. It exploded immediately.

The live broadcast comments had gone completely insane.

"3,999??? You're selling the Guanghui Technology 8 Ultra for 3,999???"

"Everyone else's Ultra is 'Ultra' in price, yours is 'Ultra' in specs but not in price, right?"

"Google was talking about the future yesterday, and today Guanghui Technology is selling the future at dirt-cheap prices."

"I announce that from today on, the entire pricing departments of all competitors will be losing sleep."

In the overseas conference room, the PR manager who had been forcing himself to stay calm finally couldn't help but close his eyes.

He knew that today wasn't just a loss in the narrative. The price range was going to collapse too.

Such specifications, such completion, such viral potential, paired with this price, was enough to shatter the entire market's expectations for the foreseeable future.

And Lu Li clearly wasn't finished yet. He raised his hand and switched to the Mirage page.

In the center of the stage, a physical unit slowly rose.

This time, the camera gave a close-up. Many people in the audience were seeing the complete appearance of this air-imaging device for the first time.

It wasn't bulky, but it definitely wasn't small either. Overall, it looked like a quiet, floor-standing semi-circular device, about half a meter square, with smooth and restrained contours.

What caught people's eyes the most was the special structure on top. It wasn't glass. It wasn't an ordinary lens either. It was a piece of black crystal structure cut from a polyhedron.

Under the lights, those facets refracted an extremely cold light, like a piece of black crystal precisely carved out.

And beneath the black crystal, there were hidden countless micro-emission units, so dense that they were almost invisible to the naked eye. It was as if an entire glowing world was sealed inside.

Lu Li looked at the audience and said calmly:

"Mirage, first generation."

"14,999 yuan."

This time, the reaction from the audience was different from when the phone price was announced. First, there was a brief silence. Then came a more complex and intense commotion.

Because the first thought that subconsciously popped into everyone's minds wasn't "expensive." It was—that's it?

You have to know, the effects it demonstrated earlier were completely unlike traditional TVs or projectors.

Spatial imaging. 3D display. Remote presence. Covering meetings, medical care, education, entertainment, and home companionship entirely.

It even explicitly laid out a roadmap for subsequent miniaturization, portability, and replacing screen terminals.

For something like this, even if it sold for 30,000 or 50,000, many people wouldn't think it was completely outrageous.

But the number Lu Li gave was 14,999.

This wasn't the price of some "high-and-mighty laboratory toy" anymore. This was clearly aimed at the high-end TV and high-end projector market.

Sure enough, the next second, someone in the audience couldn't help but shout:

"You're not selling black technology; you're here to smash the rice bowls of the TV and projector industry!"

The whole venue burst into laughter. And that sentence, coincidentally, wasn't wrong at all.

The 14,999 Mirage was enough to make all high-end home audio and video equipment manufacturers break into a cold sweat.

In the backstage area, Wang Peng was ecstatic.

"It's over, TV manufacturers shouldn't sleep tonight either."

"First it was phone manufacturers, now even the projector and TV crowd have to hold emergency meetings."

Lu Yaoguang finally couldn't hold back this time, and the corners of her mouth curled up sharply.

Because she knew this really wasn't Wang Peng talking nonsense. If Mirage really entered the market at this price, not only would the "high-end futuristic device" track be shattered, but the traditional high-end audio-visual market would also be overturned.

And in that overseas conference room, the people from Google really didn't even want to talk this time.

They talked about the future last night. Lu Li didn't just talk about the future today; he also put a price tag on it.

And it was the kind of price that was enough to make the market immediately start recalculating everything.

On stage, Lu Li turned to the last page. On the big screen, there were no specs. No features either. Just a simple line of text.

[Starting today, you can place orders for the future.]

The applause, screams, and cheers in the venue reached their peak at this moment.

Many people were already standing up. In the media area, developer area, and investor area, almost no one could sit still.

They all knew that after today, many things would change.

The phone price smashed through the old order of high-end flagships. The Mirage price crashed into the wall—which had originally been ridiculously high—between traditional audio-visual equipment and future display devices.

The 70/30 revenue split of the creator platform and the investment plan pulled the hearts of countless developers and startup teams over directly.

And in the center of the stage, Lu Li just stood there, looking at the audience, as if he had finally finished saying everything he needed to say today.

He didn't have any unnecessary incitement. There was no long-winded "thank you everyone" ending either. He just calmly finished with one sentence.

"The launch event ends here."

"I'll leave the rest for you to judge for yourselves."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly and turned to walk off the stage. And the entire venue, even several seconds after he had walked off, the applause and noise had still not stopped.
