Chapter 296(1/2)
293. Witness History
The venue for this press conference was chosen at the imperial capital Qing University, and it is also Cao Yang's alma mater. Bomi will join hands with multiple media to broadcast the press conference globally.
However, before this, Bomi had actually released some small news, but everyone only knew that Bomi was going to develop an epoch-making mobile phone product, but they didn't know what it was.
The Bomi smartphone launch conference is scheduled to start at 2 pm. It is already crowded and full of people.
Mainly, Bomi's gimmick is too strong this time. Basically, the notifications received by major media in advance are all-in-
Bomi Mobile will create a new history of mobile Internet, and it is even groundbreaking in terms of mobile phones.
When I heard this news, the reactions of major domestic media people were confused.
The press conference has not yet begun, and the discussion is already very exciting.
"Damn... When did Bomi start making mobile phones? We didn't receive any news."
"It seems like I started making mobile phones in 2004? I remember who said at that time that it seemed that Bomi had a factory in Wuhan?"
"Who? Oh, by the way, I really think I have such an impression."
When recruiting fresh graduates in Wuhan, Lei Jun learned about the news from some channels, but no one knew what they were doing later. Bomi did a very good job of keeping confidentiality in this regard, so he was not exposed.
"But who would have thought of a game company that would actually think of making mobile phones?"
"Yes, if we hadn't received a notice from Bomi a few days ago, we wouldn't have connected Bomi with our mobile phones at all. There were similar rumors in the world before, but our editor-in-chief rejected them.
A company that makes games and applications does not have the ability to develop hardware at all. Isn’t it seeking death to make a mobile phone?
What's more, this thing requires a lot of money to invest, right?"
"Money is not a problem. Bomi Company relies on games to earn billions of dollars every year. The key is that this span is indeed a bit large. I have only heard of Huawei making mobile phones before, and I never thought that a game company would want to participate."
"By the way, how is Huawei's phone going? Why didn't you hear the following?"
"I heard that Huawei has not developed mobile phone business again because of technical reasons or something in the middle."
"Oh~ That's a pity. I was optimistic about Huawei. Otherwise, Chinese people now use Nokia, Motorola, and Blackberry. It's actually good to have a Chinese brand."
"Here." A reporter thrust his mouth and signaled them to look at the stage.
In the middle, Cao Yang was busy adjusting equipment with the staff, and he started today's press conference when the time was ready.
“Isn’t this a Chinese brand?”
"Well……"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
If Bomi makes world-class games, they still believe this, but if Bomi makes a mobile phone that can occupy the market, no matter how you look at it, you will feel that the probability of being struck by lightning on the road is higher than this one?
"The mobile phone revolution, what else can you say to create history," a reporter from Sina News curled his lips and said with some contempt, "Can Bomi be a monster?"
...
But no matter what, the gimmick released by Bomi is really big.
The media people scanned the scene and found that in addition to Bomi's own employees and reporters, there were also many bigwigs from the domestic Internet industry who were present today.
For example, Mr. Ren from Huawei, Mr. Hou from ZTE, and even Mr. Yang from China Mobile are here.
This formation is really big.
It makes people want to believe Cao Yang's statement: Today is really a day to create history. Everyone comes here to witness the innovation of the mobile communication devices that Bomi is about to create and the moment when Bomi smartphones load into great history.
In addition to Chinese media, this time Bomi also specially invited foreign media to broadcast. Just as Bomi promoted, this new mobile phone product will be sold to the world, so people from different countries need to understand the products Bomi is about to release today.
When the reporter from Bangzi Country heard this news, his heart was actually full of doubts.
After all, the best mobile phone production company in the world is in Bangzi Country. After that, only the United States and island countries can compete. There is no Chinese mobile phone that can be used, let alone make new products that are epoch-making and create history.
However, since Bomi invited them, they also thought they could come and have a look. If the final result was really rubbish, they could go back and exaggerate it—
There is still a huge gap between China and Bangziguo in the mobile phone field.
...
It was 2 pm, and Bomi's mobile phone press conference officially began.
Cao Yang smiled pursed his lips and walked up from the side platform.
The moment I saw Cao Yang, warm applause immediately erupted from below.
He looked very happy.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Cao Yang clasped his hands together and owed to everyone.
There was another warm applause from below.
Seeing his appearance, Li Lanyun also laughed, "It seems that Boss Cao is in a really good mood today."
Liu Guangran said, "Isn't it? Today is Bomi's big day, so he is of course happy."
Today is not only Cao Yang's big day, but also Bomi, especially those employees who have devoted their lives to Bomi's smartphone for nearly three years, and I am extremely moved.
The moment when Boss Cao came on stage, Liu Qiang felt his chest fluctuations.
Two and a half years have been really not easy.
From the beginning, Bomi mobile phones were just a concept, but it was really bumpy to come to the point where it was today.
"Thank you everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to come here in your busy schedule. Thank you very much."
Cao Yang bowed again.
There was another thunderous applause below.
Cao Yang was wearing a casual shirt on a formal occasion today, with the popular jeans underneath. In addition, his image was outstanding, with a pair of clear eyes and an unrestrained smile on his lips.
There is also the inexplicable bookish spirit on his body, which makes him look gentle but full of endless smell.
So the photographers below set up cameras and took Cao Yang's lens as the material for future reports.
"Thank you for your arrival," Cao Yang said with a smile, "Let's create history together today."
There was another round of applause below, and countless people cheered.
No matter how arrogant or unrealistic what Boss Cao said, everyone has to admire that Boss Cao is indeed very charming and knows how to create an atmosphere on the scene.
So, a sentence [Create History] sets the entire scene on fire.
Cao Yang said, walking away two steps away, rolling up his sleeves, revealing his two strong arms.
“Welcome to Bomi’s world.”
Boss Cao won applause again.
He smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
The audience immediately became silent. Now that it was the subject, everyone shut up and listened to what Cao Yang would say next.
"As we all know, Bomi is a game company." Cao Yang said with a smile, "We have produced the Honor of Kings series, Aier game platform, Shanhai Jing, Assassin's Soul... These account for nearly 80% of Bomi's revenue."
Everyone below showed knowing smiles, as if saying, do you still know that you are a game company?
Why did you go to make a cell phone?
"But we are not exactly a game company." Cao Yang continued, "because we also have instant messaging services, we have QQ, and value-added services based on QQ, such as QQ show, QQ mailbox, QQ music, QQ space...
A bunch of non-game products.”
"At the same time, we also have the Bomi website, Bomi Weibo... It seems that we are another new media company."
Cao Yang smiled and said, "These are actually part of Bomi. Just like what I said just now, we welcome everyone to Bomi's world. What words should I use to describe it more accurately, I can only say-
We are an Internet company, and Bomi's world is still expanding, so welcome to Bomi's world, and you will never regret entering this world."
There was another burst of warm applause below.
The lights around suddenly dimmed.
Cao Yang stood on the stage, and a big Bomi logo appeared on the big screen in the middle:
BOMI
Today, the set selected by BOMI is very technological.
The light on the big screen reflects Bomi's font, as if it has infinite technological power.
This is actually very consistent with today's theme, because Cao Yang is not here to promote cultural creativity, and the focus is on technological innovation.
After the lights dimmed, only the light on the stage was still on.
Cao Yang took a deep breath and smiled with emotion, "Today is the day I have been looking forward to for two and a half years."
Hearing his words, Liu Qiang, the head of Bomi mobile phone research and development, took the lead in applauding him.
Professor Ni Guangnan next to him also looked relieved.
They are all witnesses. Cao Yang has been looking forward to it for two and a half years, so why are they the same?
Cao Yang smiled, “When I was sorting out my speech just now, I accidentally heard someone say it—
How big a breakthrough can Bomi make in the mobile phone innovation today? Could it be that he can still make a monster?"
