43: Chapter 43: A Bloodbath! Is This a Phone Launch Event?

"This is Lu Li's brilliance!" Lei Jun's voice was somewhat hoarse, even trembling slightly.

"He utilized Xiao Dou AI's precise monitoring, which only triggers during a serious car accident when the user loses contact with the device."

"The probability is extremely low, but the promotional effect is infinite!"

"A cost of ten yuan in exchange for a 'lifesaver' brand image, and in exchange for spontaneous word-of-mouth spread across the entire internet."

Lei Jun leaned back in his chair, no longer looking at the excited media, but instead watching the young man on stage. His eyes were full of wariness.

"We are still struggling with how to sell phones to young people, while Lu Li has already turned the phone into 'a beam of light' for the working class."

"How is this marketing? This is a dimensionality reduction attack on the values of the entire industry!"

Nearby, Jin Zailong, the head of Samsung's China region, was anxiously questioning his Chinese assistant.

"What does that Ping An Insurance mean? Why is the whole audience screaming?"

The assistant was also shocked, explaining in a rapid-fire tone: "Mr. Jin, that is one of China's largest insurance companies. Guanghui Technology has promised to buy accident insurance for all working delivery riders, with a maximum payout of one million if an accident occurs!"

After hearing this, Jin Zailong's already pale face instantly drained of all color.

He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples frantically. "One million... for a delivery rider?"

As an executive of a multinational giant, in Jin Zailong's logic, a mobile phone is a cold, precision instrument, a symbol of status.

He had never imagined that an electronic product could be linked to words with such local life flavor as 'hospitalization reimbursement' and 'accident insurance'.

"Damn it, this kind of planning... this deep understanding of Chinese society..."

Jin Zailong looked at the calm and composed man on stage, an unprecedented fear surging from the depths of his heart.

He realized that the brand premium Samsung was so proud of was collapsing in front of this one-million-yuan promise, leaving not even a scrap behind.

"This kind of tactic ignores commercial logic entirely; he is playing with sentiment, playing with it to the extreme!"

Jin Zailong turned his head to look at the media reporters in the back row, whose eyes were red and who were already preparing to take out their phones to place orders. He knew that the hard times for Samsung in China had only just begun.

In the front row of the launch event, Su Qingxue watched the insurance terms on the big screen, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

Everything connected. No wonder Lu Li had asked Chen Shuyu to contact Ping An Insurance two days ago.

At the time, Chen Shuyu didn't quite understand this move. It turned out he was waiting for this moment.

"This guy..." Su Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, a smile on her face.

Even without finalizing the details in advance, as long as the effect of today's launch event spreads, Ping An Insurance would be begging for cooperation just to ride this massive wave of traffic, and might even offer extremely low insurance premium discounts.

Lu Li had calculated every step. He didn't just understand technology. He understood human nature, business, and even... how to save money for her, the female CEO.

This was far more reliable than that Director Gu Yang and his so-called hiring of top-tier celebrities. This was truly yielding profits to the grassroots people.

Nearby, Wang Xiulan, dressed in a deep purple cheongsam, was staring blankly at the stage.

The divorce agreement in her bag, prepared for Su Qingxue and Lu Li, felt like scrap paper.

According to her script, Lu Li should have been a joke today, and this launch event should have been the one where Guanghui Technology headed toward decline once again.

But now, this man stood under the spotlight, enjoying the cheers and adoration of the entire audience.

That aura of controlling the entire scene, that compassionate vision. Is this really that soft-rice-eating Lu Li who only knew how to play games and waste his life?

Wang Xiulan's brows were locked tight, her fingers gripping her expensive crocodile skin bag tightly. She didn't believe it.

A leopard cannot change its spots. It had been two years; she knew exactly what kind of character Lu Li had.

"Qingxue..." Wang Xiulan turned her head, looking at Su Qingxue not far away, whose eyes were slightly red but who wore a proud smile.

"This silly girl." An inexplicable anger rose in Wang Xiulan's heart.

"To boost your own husband's status, to protect his self-esteem, you really went all out!"

"These marketing copies, these features, even this insurance collaboration, must have all been planned by Qingxue herself, and then taught to Lu Li step-by-step for him to memorize."

Yes. It must be that way. Wang Xiulan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable panic in her heart.

She found a perfect reason in her heart. Lu Li was just a puppet actor on stage.

The truly capable one was her daughter, who was so silly it made people's hearts ache.

"Good, very good." Wang Xiulan sneered, her eyes becoming sharp again. "Since you are so good at acting, then at Qingxue's grandfather's birthday banquet tomorrow, I will expose your true colors."

"Without the script given by Qingxue, I want to see if you can still be so glorious."

She didn't want Su Qingxue to have a hard time; she was doing this for Su Qingxue's own good.

Ever since her husband passed away due to a car accident, Su Qingxue had ignored the family's arrangements and married Lu Li instead.

Originally, Wang Xiulan had supported it, but who knew that Lu Li was just mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall, lazing around at home every day and ignoring the company.

The emotional video. Even the collaboration with the insurance company. How could this possibly be something Lu Li could achieve?

On stage, Lu Li looked calmly at the launch event venue; he didn't know the thoughts of the competitors and his mother-in-law in the audience.

He just watched the boiling scene quietly, his expression as usual.

In his previous life, Huawei liked to play with sentiment, but they were even more ruthless, harvesting with counterfeit phones.

He didn't need to. Guanghui Technology wanted to be a true national brand, not a sickle used to harvest sentiment.

As for why he hadn't released Tech Director Dou Bao's automatic operation feature, it was naturally because he wasn't prepared to commercialize this feature so quickly.

He still remembered vividly what happened to the Tech Director Dou Bao phone in December 2025 in his previous life.

All the big manufacturers besieged it, making the next-gen version of Tech Director Dou Bao doomed upon launch.

In this life, he wouldn't be so stupid. Besides, keeping it for next year when Guanghui Technology's user volume was larger and then updating it would give him bargaining chips to challenge the major manufacturers.

Since he was going to be a soft-rice-eater, he had to hold the rice bowl steady.

Paving the way for his wife had to be done one step at a time.

Once Guanghui Technology's user base crossed the hundred-million mark, updating the fully automatic operation then would be like holding the Emperor hostage to command the vassals.

Who would dare to move?

"I think what everyone is most concerned about now should be its price." Lu Li smiled, that smile carrying a hint of calm confidence.

It was skillfully executed to the point of making one's heart ache. After all, in his previous life, he had hosted various product launches and held at least fifty launch events.

"Snapdragon 835." "IMX362 custom lens." "Star OS." "Xiao Dou AI." "And the one-million-yuan guardian promise."

Lu Li didn't waste words; he snapped his fingers directly. Snap.

The image on the big screen behind him froze, and several huge numbers crashed down!

[guanghui 7 standard edition 6+64 GB — — 2499 yuan]

[guanghui 7 standard edition 6+128 GB — — 2799 yuan]

[guanghui 7 ultra 6+128 GB — — 3199 yuan]

Boom—! At this moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
