Chapter 1117 The Voice of China Finals (two-in-one chapter)
Cutting edge technology company.
Hu Shuhui walked out of the press conference hall and took a deep breath. As the president of Frontier Research Institute and Frontier Technology for so long, this was her first time hosting a press conference.
It was also the first time I walked in front of people.
She was standing on the stage just now, seemingly calm and at ease, but actually she was quite nervous inside.
I'm afraid something might happen during this period.
Fortunately, the press conference was overall quite successful.
Next, it's time to explode.
To be honest, if it hadn't been her first press conference and she wasn't sure, she would have started a live broadcast.
Just because I was worried that something would go wrong and have a bad impact, I dropped the idea.
Maybe it would be better if it was broadcast live.
Fortunately, there is a full video recording during the new product launch. It will be possible to put the complete video online and run it for a while.
…
"Where's Mr. Zheng?"
In the corridor, Hu Shuhui turned to the assistant and asked.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zheng has gone to your office."
The assistant whispered back.
"Well! Let's go up."
Hearing this, Hu Shuhui nodded and walked towards the elevator.
She usually strictly prohibits employees from entering her office without her permission, not because there is anything shameful in her office.
Just because there are many important documents in her office.
For Zheng Ge, a big boss, it is naturally not within the strict prohibition range.
…
"Mr. Zheng, what do you think of today's press conference?"
In the office, Hu Shuhui said with a somewhat appreciative smile.
Zheng Ge took a sip of tea, pointed to the sofa, and said with a smile: "It's very good, come sit down and talk."
Hu Shuhui nodded and sat down.
"What's the next step?"
Zheng Ge laughed.
"The next step is to further promote and dispel users' doubts. In addition, I think our users mainly come from major scientific research institutions, design institutes, etc. They are the people who need the Star Generation most. Ordinary users should not
Too many." Hu Shuhui thought for a while and said.
Scientific research institutions can use this tool to improve scientific research efficiency.
Design institutes may also need this equipment in order to complete a design faster and more perfectly.
There are many industries and fields that can use this equipment.
Zheng Ge hummed, "During the press conference, you didn't seem to announce the price?"
"Yes, I think it's not too late to ferment in the early stage and announce the price later. After all, this is a brand-new product, and the outside world knows nothing about our product. Let's release the price now.
, it is easy for potential users to be discouraged. I am planning to hold several events in the near future. When everyone becomes more familiar with our products, we will price and launch them." Hu Shuhui nodded.
At the press conference, the media had some speculations about the price of the Star Generation. They speculated that it might be very expensive.
This is indeed the case.
The Star Generation released this time is divided into two versions.
One is the ordinary flagship version, priced at 19,999 yuan.
The other is the luxury supreme version, priced at 29,999 yuan.
Yes, the price is very high, the cheapest one is as high as nearly 20,000 yuan.
This price is enough to put most people off.
After all, the price is nearly 20,000 yuan!
Some ordinary people need almost half a year of hard work to earn.
Even many young people cannot save 20,000 yuan a year.
But this thing is worth the price.
Some people inside Frontier Technology even think that the price is too low. After all, it is an epoch-making product and a product that helps children grow up.
But there is no way, for now, this price is already the limit.
This is only the domestic selling price; overseas, the price will at least double.
It is even possible to directly convert currency units into US dollars.
But then again, although the price is high, it is not high. You know, some brands of mobile phones now sell for as high as 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
The miraculous effect of Star Generation is much stronger than that of mobile phones.
If used well, it is enough for a poor student to enter a top university.
You know, many students nowadays have poor grades, not because they are stupid, but on the contrary, they are very smart, just because they cannot meditate and do not like to study.
This product is good news for that kind of students.
As for the difference between the regular version and the luxury version.
In fact, the difference is in appearance.
The luxurious Supreme Edition will be more comfortable to wear on your head, the design is more user-friendly, the materials are also very particular, and it also comes with some small functions.
The functions of the ordinary flagship version are relatively simple, with only a few basic functions that people can focus on.
To put it bluntly, the Luxury Supreme Edition is used to rip off rich people.
"That's it! That's okay."
Zheng Ge nodded.
He had known the price of the Star Generation for a long time and had signed and approved it. In his opinion, the price was very reasonable. If it were any cheaper, it would be a cheap sale.
This price is possible because this Star Generation is a castrated version.
If it were the full version, even if the price increased 10 times, I'm afraid it wouldn't work.
Of course, the price is high, but the cost of this thing is very low.
The cost of a single piece is only about a thousand yuan.
When production technology matures, costs will decrease.
It can be said that this is a hugely profitable product.
"Um……"
Zheng Ge thought of something, pondered for a moment, and said, "We can think about it later and launch a student suit."
"Student suit?"
Hu Shuhui was stunned.
"Yes, the price can be cheaper, and the effect can be weakened, just enough for students to use. But there is one thing, you must be a student to buy it. And the purchase is limited, each student can only buy one." Zheng Ge thought for a while and said.
The price is as high as 20,000 yuan. Except for wealthy families, it is estimated that few parents will be willing to buy such expensive things for their children.
But it will be different if several cheaper student versions are released.
For example, the student version priced at 5,000 yuan may not be as effective as the one priced at 19,999 yuan, but it will still be snapped up.
"That's it! Let's have a meeting with the R&D department later."
Hu Shuhui thought for a while and said.
Zheng Ge hummed and chatted with Hu Shuhui for a while. They focused on the next development. About an hour later, Zheng Ge was ready to leave and go shopping in Lanshan.
"Mr. Zheng, it's almost noon. Let's have lunch here."
Hu Shuhui stood up and said.
Zheng Ge thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay. Let's have lunch with everyone at noon, and ask all the colleagues from the R&D department to come over."
"OK."
Hu Shuhui smiled.
Zheng Ge nodded and walked out of the office.
…
At noon, Zheng Ge had lunch with the executives of Frontier Technology and the employees of the R&D department. Then he took a short rest and left Frontier Technology Company.
In the afternoon, Zheng Ge inspected various places in Lanshan.
During his inspection, there was already a turmoil on the Internet.
The major media participating in the press conference have already posted the emergence of the Star Generation on the Internet. On Weibo, it quickly entered the top ten of the hot search list.
The same is true for the thousand-degree search list.
At the same time, the online platform under the Changge Department has also launched vigorous promotion.
For a time, almost everyone on the Internet knew that a company called Frontier Technology had launched a product to assist learning and work.
It’s just the functionality of this product that makes countless netizens find it hard to believe.
Many people think this is just hype.
A certain forum:
"Oh my god! Is it true?"
"It allows people to concentrate and concentrate when they are studying and working. This is amazing."
"It feels like science fiction."
"Haha, buddy, I've been easily distracted at work recently because of my worries. If it's really as good as it says online, I'll definitely buy it, no matter how expensive it is."
"How can it be true? This is simply something that only appears in science fiction movies."
"But looking at the live video of the press conference, even the official proved it!"
"Yes! The 10 trial users at the press conference also proved its efficacy."
"But it's still hard to believe."
"By the way, have you noticed that this cutting-edge technology company is a subsidiary of Changge Group. The credibility of Changge Group should be trustworthy."
"This... to be honest, it's a little hard to say."
"Indeed, this time is too science fiction after all."
"No matter what, once it goes on the market, I will definitely buy it. Even because of the reputation of Changge Group, I will buy it. I just don't know how much it will cost."
"If it is as magical as the press conference said, the price may not be cheap."
"Why didn't the price even be announced during the press conference?"
"Forecast, at least a five-digit price."
"I agree, unless this thing is fake, or the effect is far less effective than announced."
"Tsk, tsk! It looks like the flesh is about to be cut off!"
"..."
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet. Zheng Ge, who is inspecting Lanshan, is still unclear.
Luo Xinxue has been paying attention to information on the Internet, and she only knows that it is very popular on the Internet.
On Weibo, the Star Generation is being discussed everywhere.
But this popularity is only superficial.
After all, the press conference has just ended, the topic has not yet been fermented, and many netizens do not know this thing yet.
Maybe it will take a few days before the real outbreak occurs.
"It seems that we may move in early!"
After walking out of the new headquarters building, Zheng Ge looked up at the building reaching into the sky and chuckled softly.
The exterior of the current new headquarters building has been completed, leaving only the interior decoration finishing touches.
It was originally planned to move in November, but now it seems that maybe we can move in next month.
"Yeah! I didn't expect it to be so fast." Luo Xinxue also said.
Zheng Ge nodded and turned to look at the Lotus Hotel at the other end, "Let's go to the Lotus Hotel and hang out, and then we can go back."
I was just in the new headquarters building and it took a long time to walk around.
Look at the time, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Xinxue responded and followed.
…
After walking around Lanshan, Zheng Ge and his party left Lanshan at five o'clock in the afternoon.
"By the way, how has the outside world reacted to the cutting-edge technology conference?"
Sitting in the car, Zheng Ge asked Luo Xinxue, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Mr. Zheng, it's very hot."
Luo Xinxue turned her head and said with a smile: "Now the topics about the Star Generation have reached the top of Weibo's hot search list. In addition, many topics related to the Star Generation are also very popular."
"Oh! What do netizens think of the Star Generation?"
Zheng Ge said lightly.
He was not surprised by the popular scene on the Internet.
After all, the online platforms under the Changge Department are all promoted, and with so many promoters behind them, it would be strange if they don’t become popular.
"this……"
Luo Xinxue hesitated for a moment and said: "The Internet is generally not optimistic about the Star Generation, thinking it is just hype and the effect may not be as good as advertised."
Zheng Ge smiled when he heard this, "Yes! When new things come out, they will always face doubts."
"It's just that, it may affect sales."
Luo Xinxue said.
"The Star Generation is taking a high-end route and doesn't put too much emphasis on sales." Zheng Ge shook his head.
The Star Generation, with a minimum price of nearly 20,000 yuan, has made most people give up the idea of buying it.
Unless we wait until the future, the effects of the Star Generation will be generally recognized.
At that time, you can publish some inspirational news: for example, a certain student was a bad student and was always at the bottom of the class. Later, he wore the Star Generation, his grades exploded, he was among the top in the class, he was successfully admitted to a prestigious school, etc.
By then, many parents of princes and talented people will tighten their belts and still grit their teeth to buy.
Of course, Zheng Ge plans to launch some student affordable packages, which will be much cheaper and I believe they will be more suitable for parents.
"That's right, Mr. Zheng."
Luo Xinxue seemed to remember something.
"What?" Zheng Ge laughed.
"Mr. Zheng, the finals of the first season of The Voice of China are about to begin." Luo Xinxue turned around and smiled.
"So fast?"
Zheng Ge was stunned for a moment.
He silently counted the time and sighed.
That’s right, The Voice of China was launched in April.
This is already July.
The Voice of China is divided into 13 episodes in total. The first episode was broadcast on April 16th. Now on July 5th, 12 episodes have been aired. The last episode will be broadcast on Friday the 9th.
According to the plan, a grand finals will be held in live broadcast mode on the 10th.
"Yeah! It's pretty fast. It feels like time has just passed by and it's already July. When the last episode is broadcast this Friday, the finals are over. The first season of The Voice of China has come to an end." Luo Xinxue also sighed with emotion.
She is also a loyal viewer of The Voice of China.
She reads basically every issue.
Unless she was busy with work and couldn't make it in time. But even so, she would complete it online.
Sometimes, she would even go to the recording site to watch.
But I didn't expect that this would be the end.
"By the way, what is the current highest ratings for The Voice of China?" Zheng Ge asked.
"The highest ratings reached 5.12%. According to the program team's prediction, by the time the finals arrive, the ratings will break six, which won't be a big problem." Luo Xinxue said with a smile.
Zheng Ge hummed and let out a sigh of relief.
A ratings of 5.21%!
This is only the twelfth issue.
There will be another period next, followed by the finals.
This is about setting a record properly!
But having said that, the ratings of 5.21% have already broken the record among variety shows.
Next, let’s see how far this record can go.
"On the day of the finals, let's go and have a look. By the way, is the venue for the finals ready?" Zheng Ge asked.
"Bird's Nest."
Luo Xinxue smiled.
"Tsk tsk, the program team is very confident!" Zheng Ge laughed.
