Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 592: Counterattack (Part 1)

The time in Hong Kong is almost the same as that in Beijing, but it is different from that in Washington, USA. In addition, it is winter now, so the time between the two is 16 hours. To give a simple example, if it is 20:00 in the evening in Hong Kong, then the time in the United States is 04:00. According to the time announced by Xu Jiarui, the press conference will be held at 08:00 US time, which is 24:00 in Hong Kong, and also midnight.

Lu Shaohua was very patient. He sat alone and watched TV until twelve o'clock in the morning. His purpose was obvious: he was waiting for Phoenix TV to broadcast live the press conference held by Xu Jiarui on behalf of Phoenix Group.

When the time reached 11:50 in the evening, Lu Shaohua's cell phone rang as time. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Xu Jiarui's number. Lu Shaohua pressed the answer button without even thinking about it and answered the call.

"All the evidence is in our hands." Xu Jiarui said simply on the other end of the phone.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua tried his best to suppress his tone to make himself less excited.

After just a few words, there was no further news. Xu Jiarui hung up the phone directly. Lu Shaohua did the same. He hung up the phone without saying anything more, because Lu Shaohua had already got the answer he wanted. His heart was finally at ease. The next step was to wait for Xu Jiarui to go on stage to perform.

Ten minutes passed very quickly, in the blink of an eye. When the clock struck midnight, Xu Jiarui, neatly dressed, appeared on the TV screen. At this time, the scene was surprisingly quiet. There was no sound from the live broadcast. All the reporters present sat quietly, waiting for Xu Jiarui to speak.

"First of all, on behalf of Phoenix Group, I would like to welcome all media friends. Thank you for coming to the press conference held by Phoenix Group." At this point, Xu Jiarui paused, looked around, and found nothing unusual before continuing. "As everyone knows, Phoenix Group has had a lot of problems in the past few days. At first, the outside world accused Phoenix Computer of hardware quality problems. Then there were media reports that Phoenix operating system was loaded with Trojans, stealing and destroying important files. Some users or companies even appealed to the High Court, demanding compensation from Phoenix Group."

"I am saddened by this. The slogan that Phoenix Group has always advocated is to serve the public. We don't want to see such a thing happen. Moreover, Phoenix Group has never done anything against its will, let alone loading a Trojan in Phoenix operating system." Standing on the stage, with the evidence in his hands, Xu Jiarui was very confident. He condemned the incident and praised Phoenix Group to the sky. However, this was not the end. Then, Xu Jiarui changed the subject and said, "Yesterday, I released a message on behalf of Phoenix Group. Phoenix Group has a lot of evidence to prove that everything is related to Phoenix Group. At this moment today, it is time to start publishing the evidence."

Xu Jiarui was very skillful in speaking, he spoke for a while and paused for a while. He had two purposes: one was to give the reporters below some time to react, and the other was to wait for the translator. There was no other way, as Xu Jiarui spoke in Chinese, while the reporters sitting below were of all kinds, including reporters from many countries. Of course, as the host country, American reporters still accounted for the majority.

Because there were reporters from various countries and they spoke different languages, Xu Jiarui chose to give his speech in Chinese, and then arranged for someone with a very high level of English to translate it into English after Xu Jiarui finished speaking.

Seeing that the translation was almost done and his opening speech was almost finished, Xu Jiarui knew that it was time to get into the topic. "Everyone, please look at the big screen behind me."

As he spoke, Xu Jiarui made a 'please' gesture with his hand, slightly moved aside, and glanced back. Seeing that the large screen behind him was turned on, he hit the enter key on the notebook that had been prepared long ago.

Phoenix Group has put in a lot of effort for this press conference. The large screen at the back is directly connected to the laptop, and all the lines have been laid out, including the network connection, which has been debugged. Of course, the network connection is prepared for testing QQ later.

Just as Xu Jiarui hit the enter key on his laptop, the big screen also displayed a scene synchronously, but the scene was a picture of a video player. There was no movement on the picture at the moment, and it was in a paused state.

"Well, before we watch the video, I would like to ask everyone to be quiet for a moment. Well, there will be sounds later, and I also implore you to listen to the sounds loudly and carefully." Xu Jiarui couldn't help but say one more sentence.

I have to say that Xu Jiarui's words were very effective. The scene was really silent, but the reporters sitting below all showed a curious look, as if they didn't know that Xu Jiarui's singing was so dramatic, and they were extremely interested.

At this time, Xu Jiarui pressed the Enter key again, and the big screen displayed the same message.

A short movie, oh! No, it's not a movie, because movies are not that real, it's a short video, and Xu Jiarui doesn't need to introduce the people in the video, everyone knows who they are.

There are four people in the video, four of them are over 50 years old, they are the actual controllers of Microsoft, IBM, Dell and Apple. The four of them gathered together, with calm faces, discussing something.

That's right, this is exactly the evidence collected by Li Zhijie. Li Zhijie sent people to take pictures of the situations when the leaders of the four companies got together, and he clearly received the sound and recorded it together. The video that Xu Jiarui is playing now is the video of the four of them getting together.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Zhijie to take pictures of the first meeting between the four of them. Instead, he took pictures of their second meeting. However, from the conversation between the four of them, it can be confirmed that the four companies of theirs joined forces to deal with the Phoenix Group.

The twenty-minute video was quickly played and the player stopped automatically.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar at the scene. All those who were able to come here could understand English, and the conversation between the four people in the video was heard clearly by all the reporters at the scene. Everyone's curiosity turned into surprise.

Just think about it, Microsoft, Dell, IBM, and Apple, these four companies occupy a very important position in the United States and even in the world. Now, the leaders of the four high-ranking companies actually sit together and use insidious means to frame Phoenix Group. How could those reporters not be surprised?

At this time, some sensitive reporters seemed to have caught something and thought it was big news. They began to organize their manuscripts, writing down the conversation they had just heard and preparing to report.

Some people did not record what happened. Instead, they began to question it, believing that Xu Jiarui had cut and synthesized the video and that the sound was imitated.

However, Xu Jiarui did not give them a chance to question them, and spoke casually after the video was played. "Maybe some of the friends in the press may not believe it, but the facts are the facts. Phoenix computers and Phoenix operating systems have been questioned for problems, and there are hidden reasons. This is completely the result of the behind-the-scenes manipulation of two or four companies, Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and Dell."

After a pause of nearly half a minute, Xu Jiarui waited for the translator to finish translating his words before continuing. "As for why the four companies are targeting our Phoenix Group, I think everyone knows it without me having to say more. It's because our Phoenix Group's products are better than theirs, which makes their products less competitive and unable to compete with us face to face in the market, so they resorted to such despicable means."

Xu Jiarui became more and more excited as he spoke, and his expression made all the reporters think that Xu Jiarui was quite angry. Was Xu Jiarui very angry at this time?

No, it wasn't. Xu Jiarui's emotions at this moment were calmer than ever before. He had already expressed his anger a long time ago. Now that he had obtained the evidence, Xu Jiarui heaved a sigh of relief. The big rock pressing on his heart was put down. The reason why he pretended like this was completely an act.

Before the end, when all the reporters were surprised, Xu Jiarui dropped another bombshell. "Everyone, please continue. Our experts from Phoenix Group have obtained strong evidence. Well, it is about Phoenix computers. In fact, the reason why Phoenix computers have black and blue screens is completely due to problems with the Windows operating system. Before the incident, Microsoft had installed a patch, and there was a program in this patch for the display driver of Phoenix computers, which caused the black and blue screens to appear."

While Xu Jia was talking, his hand kept pressing the '→' key on his notebook, and pages of evidence were displayed, all of which were data analysis. No matter whether the people present could understand it or not, it didn't matter anymore. The fact that he dared to bring it out in this situation proved that it couldn't be fake.

"Well, perhaps our friends in the press will have doubts. But it doesn't matter. You can find a user of Phoenix operating system and ask them whether there have been any black or blue screen incidents when using Phoenix operating system during this period." This was Xu Jiarui's backup plan. He took the initiative to put forward this statement, and he wanted the reporters to verify it, which would be more convincing.

The reporters below did not disappoint Xu Jiarui. As soon as Xu Jiarui finished speaking, they all took out statistics and contacted people outside. Some asked close friends directly, and some asked their friends to find a user of Phoenix operating system to verify it.

After everything was done, especially the reporters who had verified the results, looked at each other in bewilderment. No matter they knew each other or not, they all looked at each other and saw the word "shock" in each other's eyes. Then they understood why the Phoenix Group, which had always had a good reputation, suddenly became a brand full of problems.

There is only one result, Phoenix Group was framed by someone.
