Chapter 143 Countdown Preparation (Part 2)
"Hey, the live broadcast has started on YouTube?" Why don't you exclaimed with your phone?
Qi Junpeng swallowed the lunch box he had just bought.
Tears flowing, pain cannot be expressed. It is said that it is supper, but it is actually a box lunch. This difference is a bit big. But forgot, Qi Junpeng has eaten box lunches, and he still has a lot of work reasons. But Brother He, can you stop urging him?
“Yes, is that?”
Qi Junpeng swallowed his last bite of rice, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours before the press conference. As for the live broadcast so early? Are foreign netizens so idle?
"After eating, you'll leave quickly after you finish eating. Why is it so slow to eat at such a young age..."
Qi Junpeng was almost choked to death by He Buwei's words. Of course you ate quickly, and you stopped eating a few bites of the boxed lunch. What qualifications do you have to say that he doesn't waste any food next to him?
They hurried back again. In order to avoid the lack of parking space after returning, the two of them did not choose to drive, but called a taxi. Now, they continued to call a taxi and rushed back to the exhibition center.
Unexpectedly, it was the peak hours after get off work, and the car turned around and entered the blocked army. It was not until almost six o'clock that the two arrived at the square of the exhibition center.
Unexpectedly, it took a 15-minute drive to go, but it took an hour to come back. The two of them were quite helpless. In Qingdao, there was almost no such serious traffic congestion.
Although he was given a vaccination in his heart, the number of people almost filled the square still shocked the two of them. Especially Qi Junpeng, as a reporter from Digital Home, participated in many domestic press conferences, but never once, he saw that there were seven or eight thousand people gathered together. Even if he could not enter the venue, he had to stand outside and watch the live broadcast.
Before this product was released, there were so many faith fans?
Well, it can't be said to be a faith fan. "Coco" has conquered so many people, including Qi Junpeng... I haven't seen his current mobile phone, and it has been replaced by one of the two adaptive models.
It is definitely not easy and easy to squeeze forward among so many people. It took a lot of effort. The two of them were sweating profusely in the cold weather of more than ten degrees before they squeezed into the gate of the exhibition center. From here, there were security guards to control the crowd. Smart Technology employees also helped to maintain order, while inspecting the invitation letter for entry and distributing metal nameplates.
"Brother He, what does it mean to have smart technology and that mysterious hard-core technology?"
Entering the queue, Qi Junpeng asked softly.
"Relationship? Is this still necessary?"
He Buwei said: "That hardcore technology is because it has attracted Yan Zhiwen's potential and special fan group and used him to conduct early publicity... Maybe Yan Zhiwen has been hooking up with that hardcore technology company, but we outside don't know."
While chatting, the two lined up until the security guard checked the invitation letter, and then let them enter the isolation line. With the envious eyes and photos outside, they walked towards the counter where the nameplate was distributed.
Three beautiful beauties, as service staff, kept a charming smile. After receiving the invitation letter from He Buwei and verifying their media identities, they handed over two nameplates with silver metallic luster, with a line of letters on it - "ARK2015".
Below is the logo of the company "HardCore", which is very strange. Why not see the logo of the company with your own eyes for the first time? It is the earth surrounded by something like Saturn's rings, but it is not a "planetary ring", but two crossed. In short, it is very strange, and it leaves a deep impression at first sight and is hard to forget.
The nameplate itself is exquisitely made and it is estimated that it costs a lot. It is heavy in your hand and it feels like it can be treated as a handicraft, even if it is just a nameplate for entry.
The two of them hung this nameplate like a craft on their chests and walked in with equipment. They found that the lobby was densely populated. Although there were no more people than outside, there were at least hundreds of people. What was most amazing was that in this press conference held in China, foreign media and participants actually accounted for more than half of the proportion!
That is to say, more than 800 people entered the venue, nearly half of them were foreigners.
In addition to the lottery itself, it is also because many people abroad are willing to spend a lot of money to buy from domestic winners, which leads to an imbalance in the proportion.
"Brother He, there are still about 40 minutes left. Do you want to go to the lounge to sit for a while?" Qi Junpeng asked.
At present, the venue is not allowed to enter the press conference. Many people stand in the hall chatting or playing with their mobile phones. From time to time, they can hear the sweet and fresh sound of "Coco" appear.
"No need, just take a look outside."
After they left, the hall obviously changed significantly again. The hall, which was originally empty and had nothing to look good, had already been put on some publicity signs by the staff, and several large electronic display screens in the center of the hall were also being debugged on the spot by the staff.
Why not to get close to the propaganda sign, there are many media reporters and foreign people around the sign, either taking professional cameras for shooting, or taking photos with their own mobile phones... But to be honest, is it just a propaganda sign?
Why not stare at the sign carefully and find clues worth thinking about from the simple patterns and "demonic" words above.
The comic-like sea is easy to identify, and you can recognize the huge waves at a glance that are the sea. But what does the big ship in the storm mean? There are also some animals on the ship, including snakes, doves, elephants, horses, sheep, dogs, and dozens of animals.
"The moment that changes the world is right in front of you?"
Why not just murmuring out the promotional slogan and take up the nameplate on your chest thoughtfully, "Ark?"
Yes, isn’t the English name ARK on the nameplate the meaning of Ark? Looking at this promotional picture, it’s so clear.
So what does ark mean?
Representing a new world? A new beginning?
Why not think of more than a dozen meanings casually? However, anyone can think of the meaning, but it is not that simple whether it meets the requirements of the meaning. Apple's annual press conference sounds quite high-quality, but the products in recent years are just that, and it is hard to give anyone great surprises.
Several Americans were arguing there in a low voice, why not speak well, but there was not much problem with dictation. When they heard it, they understood that the two Americans also understood the meaning and were discussing it. In addition, they all understood the meaning of the Ark, let alone the Americans, so they were more familiar with the meaning of the Ark.
Walking around the hall, I took dozens or hundreds of photos in a row, and passed the WIFI high-speed network provided for free in the venue. Why not send the edited pictures back to the editorial department, and then quickly post them to the live picture and text post after review by the others.
At this moment, the number of messages in this live broadcast post has reached more than 8,000. The last time Microsoft's new product launch conference in October was over, until the final press conference ended, and the number of messages reached more than 7,400. At that time, the number of people was too strong, and the server was too stressed, and Digital Home almost couldn't submit the image and text update. Before the press conference started, the number of messages exceeded more than 8,000, approaching the 10,000 mark. Fortunately, the server was upgraded once, otherwise it would be very stressful to face so many traffic refresh requests.
"Hey, you can enter."
Just as He Buyi was thinking, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and Qi Junpeng next to him also began to say in surprise.
Why didn't you turn around and look? As Qi Junpeng said, the gate of the venue for the press conference had been opened, and the staff were checking people's nameplates, and people were putting them into the venue one by one.
"Quick, go and line up."
Chapter completed!
