Chapter Seventy-Seven: Press Conference 2
In fact, not only Hu Jia and the "Southern Metropolis Daily" where she works, but also many well-known media have also received invitations from Matrix Digital, such as "Global Times", "Capital Youth Daily", "Beijing News" and other paper media, CCTV, web portals, observers, surging news media, and even the Associated Press, Reuters, "New York Times", "Washington Post" and other well-known foreign media reporters in China have received invitations.
As soon as the news of the press conference came out, it quickly appeared on the important pages of major media.
Some time ago, the scandal between Matrix Digital and Apple and Google was in a uproar, and it only took a few days to rest, and this is big news again.
Especially on the cover of the invitation, Matrix Digital, Google, and Apple stand side by side, which is somewhat meaningful.
Some sensitive reporters have vaguely guessed that this press conference may expose earth-shattering news.
On January 25, 2013, the press conference hall on the tenth floor of the Sheraton Jiangcheng Hotel was full of people, and reporters came to the conference hall early.
On the background wall of the rostrum are written the press conference and signing ceremony of the tripartite cooperation between Matrix Digital, Google and Apple.
There are nameplates of four people on the rostrum, namely Cook, Yang Lin and Page, and Yu Donghua's nameplate is at the very end, with the word host written on it.
This ranking immediately aroused the curiosity of the reporters on the scene, everyone knows that in China, whether it is an enterprise or an official, this ranking usually represents the status of this person in enterprises and institutions.
Yu Donghua, as the CEO of Matrix Digital, is just a host in this press conference, where did this Yang Lin come from?
Many reporters have a lot of discussions, they don't know much about matrix digital, except for a few who know Yang Lin, most people think that Yu Donghua is the helmsman of this company.
But the seats on the rostrum already clearly showed that this Yang Lin's status within the matrix number was much higher than Yu Donghua's.
And the fact that both Cook and Page sat on either side of him showed that this person was the real heart of the press conference.
This made many reporters startled, you must know that before this, they all focused on Yu Donghua, who would have thought that there would be such a big oolong.
Could it be that this Yang Lin is the core of Matrix Digital?
The reporters suddenly became busy, and they investigated Yang Lin through the Internet and their own networks.
But they are destined to be busy in vain, there is no relevant information about Yang Lin on the Internet, but they also learned from several reporters in the IT industry that Yang Lin is the CTO of Matrix Digital.
What is a CTO?
The CTO is the chief technology officer in charge of a company's R&D work, and it stands to reason that this kind of negotiation and cooperation activity is more suitable for the CEO to come forward, unless Yang Lin's status is higher than Yu Donghua's, he is qualified to sit in this position.
Could it be that Yang Lin is the big boss of this suddenly rising company?
The reporters present couldn't help but look forward to it.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was time for the press conference to begin, Yu Donghua took the lead on stage, walked to his place and sat down, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, welcome to today's cooperation signing ceremony and press conference between Matrix Digital, Google and Apple. Next, we have Mr. Yang Lin, Chairman of Matrix Digital Technology Co., Ltd., Mr. Page, President of Google, and Mr. Cook, CEO of Apple! ”
There was a round of applause at the scene, and the doubts on the faces of many reporters gradually dissipated.
It turns out that Yang Lin is the chairman of Matrix Digital, no wonder he can be in the middle between Page and Cook.
But when Yang Lin, Page, and Cook walked out of the backstage with smiles on their faces one after another, the flashing lights on the scene were still accompanied by exclamations.
"Wow, this Yang Lin is so young?"
"yes, it looks like it's in your twenties!"
"It can't be a rich second generation, right?"
"But I haven't heard of a rich man surnamed Yang who has such a son."
Reporters were talking a lot in the audience.
Yang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, although he didn't care about the reporters' discussions, he still felt a little uncomfortable in this kind of spotlight.
But this is also something that can't be helped, originally he was going to let Yu Donghua attend this press conference on his behalf, but Yu Donghua chose to refuse.
According to him, since Yang Lin has embarked on this path, he should be ready to become a public figure.
As soon as the agreement between Matrix Digital and Google and Apple is announced, Yang Lin's identity will sooner or later be revealed to reporters, so why wait until then for the public to talk about it!
Therefore, this press conference is the best time for Yang Lin to disclose his identity.
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Lin was finally persuaded by Yu Donghua.
He was well prepared before taking the stage today, but he didn't expect that his age would surprise the reporters present.
Yu Donghua said: "Regarding the specific situation of the cooperation between Matrix Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and Google Inc. and Apple, Yang Lin, chairman of Matrix Digital Co., Ltd., will give you a specific explanation, and I would like to invite Mr. Yang to speak. ”
The applause at the scene rang out sparsely, and Yang Lin could feel that many scrutinizing eyes fell on him.
Yang Lin took a deep breath and smiled into the microphone: "Hello friends from the media, welcome to today's press conference. Matrix Digital is a newly established Internet company, thanks to the love of users, the company's APP [Matrix Optimization] has been launched so far has obtained 600 million installed capacity in the world. In view of the outstanding performance of [Matrix Optimization], the company has also received a lot of concerns from industry giants, such as Mr. Cook and Mr. Page have come to China to discuss cooperation with me. After more than half a month of difficult negotiations, our company has reached an agreement with Apple and Google. Next, I will announce the specific plan of cooperation between Matrix Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and Apple Inc. and Google Inc. ”
Yang Lin paused and continued: "First of all, from now on, Matrix Digital will establish Matrix Optimization Technology Co., Ltd., which will be fully responsible for the operation of [Matrix Optimization]. Among them, Google will invest $200 million to buy 30% of the shares of Matrix Optimization Technology Co., Ltd., and Apple will authorize Matrix Digital Co., Ltd. to obtain APPStore services, and in this way, acquire 30% of the shares of Matrix Optimization Technology Co., Ltd. ”
