Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 424 Unexpected News

"When we issued the first batch of rations, we were still conservative. Now we don't dare to open online channels anymore, and offline channels can't be supported for long. We can't just build a store with so much hard work and just close it after three days."

In the office, Zhou Rui hung up the phone with Wang Tao, feeling a little headache.

The order volume was determined by Biati when we first went to Shencheng. At that time, the word "enlightened intelligence" did not exist yet, and many arrangements had not been finalized, so it was impossible to predict this far.

He had already contacted Boatman early in the morning and added a second batch of orders. The number has soared to 30 units, but they will not be shipped out of the factory until two weeks later.

Calculated in this way, both online and offline are tense, especially online, which can only be opened one round after another, with about 1000 units released a day.

Although it was not the intention, "Enlightened Intelligence" was forced to start hunger marketing on the first day of its release.

There are pros and cons.

Drones are a unique product of "Enlightenment" and there are no competing products on the market. A moderate amount of "hungry" may inspire greater enthusiasm for purchase and breed more word of mouth.

But correspondingly, some dissatisfaction will also arise, and the impulse to consume will decrease over time.

Just when Zhou Rui was thinking about whether he should go to the store and use [Speaker] to help maintain order, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Gan Yuan took Guan Ge together and said, "Mr. Zhou, you may want to take a look at this."

Guan Ge lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he didn't know why.

Zhou Rui curiously took the thing from Gan Yuan's hand, which was a newspaper.

"Southern Weekend".

The content related to him is naturally not the headline, but the title is already very eye-catching.

Title: Apple imitator, or tribute to Steve Jobs?
Contributing writer: Wang Shicai

"Last night, a newly established company in China held their first product launch. I don't know if it was affected by Apple's huge success. This company, which was registered less than half a year ago, spent a high cost and chose The format of the press conference has been determined.”

"'Enlightened Intelligence' has announced three drone products. You may be a little unfamiliar with drones. They can be understood as small model aircraft. They are a niche electronic product whose main function is photography."

"For a new company to spend such a huge amount of money, is it putting the cart before the horse? Rather than blindly imitating large foreign companies, it is better to be down-to-earth, start from the product, strive to catch up, and face the gap."

Zhou Rui was speechless.
With his tricky angles and skillful handling of words, he is a good writer.

But why not do human affairs?
There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said, but some people can write disgusting words about the same thing.

Holding a press conference to pay tribute to Steve Jobs?

Did Lao Qiao register a patent for the press conference?

Why not open source?
The key is that the photos used are disgusting. They didn’t use so many exciting scenes last night, they didn’t use the product photos, and they didn’t use the beautiful scenery in the promotional video.

I picked a snapshot of Zhou Rui talking while walking around.

It is very similar to a certain moment in the Steve Jobs press conference, and was compared to the left and the right.

Damn, Zhou Rui did [-] moves last night, so he had to use this one, right?It was still a moment with an ugly expression. Was "walking and talking" also registered by Lao Qiao?

From the perspective of concept, it directly downgrades "enlightened intelligence" by several generations, as if it is just a poor imitator + model aircraft manufacturer, and is still dreaming of the dream of a foreign technology company.

And I have to admit that this article is very provocative and topical. If Zhou Rui were an ordinary netizen, he would want to make some political remarks, making people want to complain.

It’s not that the masses have poor discernment, it’s that some media are really deliberately playing with words!

Zhou Rui: "I also said I would report it the next day. I need to take a closer look. What kind of bullshit is this?"

Gan Yuan also felt uncomfortable. It was only the next day that there was negative news, and it was from a major newspaper like "Southern Weekend".

"Do you think we should contact them?"

Zhou Rui pointed at the newspaper and said: "What's the use of contact? The newspapers have been printed, and this company's ass is tilted to the Pacific Ocean. How can it invite this kind of media?"

Guan Ge was already crying, and the little pearls were dripping down one by one.

"Mr. Zhou, it's me. I don't usually read newspapers. I just remember that "Southern Weekend" was a major newspaper and I read it when I was a child. It doesn't seem to be like this before."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "It might have been like this before, but everyone couldn't feel it, so don't worry about it. Next time there is a similar event, the print media will ignore it, and fewer and fewer people will watch it."

Although he said that, he knew that the paper media still had a few years to live. Besides, no matter how small the fly was, it would still be disgusting if it fell on the cake.
Zhou Rui said to Guan Ge: "Don't cry. You thought I did something to you when you went out. What's the feedback from other media?"

Guan Ge wiped away a few tears and said:
"The response to Penguin Video was excellent, with the live broadcast viewing peak reaching 200 million, but later the stream was limited because it was too laggy. Xinglang, Xiangyi, and Souhu all received unanimous praise, and the reading volume was very high. Dragon TV and Yangma The broadcast time has not been set yet, but I have seen the samples and they are all positive descriptions."

There is a lot of good news. For example, last night, the official Weibo of "Enlightenment Intelligence" increased its number of fans by nearly one million. For example, in various forums and post bars, discussions about the "Spirit Bird" series remained high, causing a Internet craze, videos and clips of the press conference were widely reproduced.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Look, there are still many positive reviews, right? Who can gain so many fans in one night? You are our recognized operating genius. Go back and continue working. It's just a small mistake."

Guan Ge bowed, obviously still blaming himself.

Looking at the little girl's depressed back, Zhou Rui shook his head helplessly.

Fului is very young overall, and they are all top students. Although they have a good atmosphere, a flexible mind, and a strong sense of mission, their ability to withstand pressure still needs to be strengthened.

Young people, since they want to enjoy their advantages, they must also accept their shortcomings.

There are not many young people like this who have a flexible mind, quick thinking, high resistance to stress, calm demeanor and the demeanor of a general.
But why should people work for you?Is your salary enough?

Zhou Rui has never been too harsh on people in the company, because he doesn't need to exploit or PUA employees to make money.

On the contrary, money will be given out!

Zhou Rui waved his hand and said to Gan Yuan: "Everyone has worked hard in the past period. It is impossible to take a holiday. We will still be busy for a while, but we can give everyone a bonus, just one month's salary! "

Gan Yuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Zhou, you will spoil us."

"Isn't it just for the employees to be pampered? Just use the new product sales as an excuse! Go ahead!"
