Chapter 49: somersault clouds
On January 11, the rice country, the most famous casino in the entire Blue Star, Las Vegas, entered the second day of the new year's CES (International Consumer Electronics Show).
James is a reporter for a local newspaper, and in addition to getting a salary at this small newspaper, James also writes for online media to support his family.
In the past few days of CES every year, James is the happiest day, many small online media in China, such as video games, consumer electronics evaluation websites, etc., in order to save some money, they did not send people to CES for interviews, but what if readers want to see exclusive content?
This gives a lot of opportunities for local reporters like James to make extra money, no, Jame is now a special correspondent for several Chinese media in Las Vegas, and getting some fresh goods for these media has become the motivation for him to work hard.
In the afternoon, Zhongwei, a well-known manufacturer of communication equipment and mobile phones in China, will hold a press conference in the C5 exhibition hall to release the latest mobile phone, but this mobile phone has actually been released first in Europa, so it is only the first launch in the rice market.
However, there was no enough press conference that afternoon, the fruit and four-star press conference was completed in the morning, James hesitated for a long time, but decided to go to the C5 exhibition hall to participate in the press conference, so that he was very glad afterwards, because of this, he did not miss a major news that shocked the blue star.
But this is also the beginning of James's misfortune, it is really a blessing for Seon to lose his horse.
The press conference is expected to start at two o'clock, but the rice country is the same as the Chinese people in this regard, and it is not very punctual, two o'clock has passed, James and a few familiar reporters are still chatting in the audience, and several staff are still debugging the equipment.
The huge exhibition hall was crowded with visitors, but there were still many empty seats in the press gallery, and it was clear that this "new product" that had already been released did not attract everyone's interest.
At 2:15 a.m., a burst of passionate music suddenly sounded at the scene, as if it was a masterpiece by a singer who bought the copyright in Zhongwei, and the lights on the scene suddenly became very dim, and then several bright beams of light staggered on the backstage curtain.
The voice of the host rang out, "Let's welcome Mr. BigMouth from Zhongwei".
The curtain opened, and under the spotlight, a middle-aged uncle in a suit and leather shoes, who looked a little honest but handsome, floated out.
Yes, you read that right, it floated out.
In the exclamation of the audience and reporters, Mr. BigMouth, we will call him Mr. BigMouth in the future. BM Bar, holding a small box, under the focus of different colored beams, the whole body did not show the slightest sign of stepping, and under the feet of a glowing cloud, floating to the center of the podium.
"Oh, My God", "hat's this?", the reporters and the audience exclaimed.
Then, Mr. BM began to introduce the latest business mobile phone products on the stage, PPT is very attractive, mobile phones are also full of selling points, smart chips, dual cameras, large batteries, ultra-long standby, four-arc full screen and so on.
But the problem is that this mobile phone has been released in Europa two months ago, and some of the brainless fans in the rice country have already used parallel imports from Europa, who is still interested in these old-fashioned performance parameters and characteristics.
Mr.BM While introducing his mobile phone, he floated around on the podium, no one cared about what he said, and the attention of all the reporters and viewers present was attracted by the clouds under his feet.
Out of politeness, everyone listened patiently to Mr. BM's "new mobile phone" introduction, of course, Mr. BM also interestingly reduced the time of introduction, before everyone's patience was exhausted, he "snapped" and switched to a new page of PPT.
"Next, let us announce the crystallization of Huaguo's latest technology, the work from the laboratory of Professor Wang Yinan, a famous mathematician and superconducting physicist, and will be sold by Zhongwei as an epoch-making vehicle sold in the entire Blue Star - somersault cloud!" , Mr. BM used a series of definite words to announce the real bombshell.
"For a long time, flying has been the dream of mankind, and in Arabic legends there is a magical flying carpet, and in Eastern legends, the Monkey King can fly 108,000 miles on somersault clouds," said Mr. BM.
"With the development of modern science and technology, people have also made various attempts, such as solo aircraft, jetpacks, etc., gyroplanes, etc.",
"However, for safety reasons, flying is still an unattainable dream for the vast majority of ordinary people."
"But now, the emergence of somersault clouds has made it possible for ordinary people to ride the clouds and fog and climb the water to cross the water," Mr.BM said as he played a video on the big screen.
As a spokesperson and a minority shareholder of the company, Zhou Hui specially shot a lot of snow and water videos for the promotion of CES.
On the big screen of the casino, Zhou Hui was wearing a white dress, which was really like a Lingbo fairy, with three thousand weak waters, but I crossed it with a reed, which was so cool.
The reporters and the audience in the audience were like old hats who had never seen the world, constantly making all kinds of exclamations and all kinds of incredible sounds.
The next thing is all kinds of braggadocio time, and there is no need for Wang Yinan's guidance in this regard Mr.BM I am an expert among experts, and the somersault cloud has been blown into the crystallization of various black technologies, aviation materials, the latest fluid mechanics, composite materials, super batteries, and of course, room temperature superconducting materials.
When Mr.BM turned the latest page of PPT, the words "room temperature superconducting materials" appeared on it, the audience was in an uproar, and reporters and audiences who knew a little bit of science knew that superconducting materials had made a huge breakthrough in Wang Yinan's hands, and they were only promoted to the dry ice temperature zone.
Regarding self-cooling composite superconducting materials that can work at room temperature, Wang Yinan's latest paper puts forward a new theory, but it is too luxurious to quietly use this thing in new products at CES.
When Mr.BM finished bragging and announced the release date and price of the somersault cloud, there was a noise from the audience, and the release date was not unexpected, two weeks later, on January 25, and the sale price flashed a titanium alloy dog's eye, 28888 US dollars, about 200,000 soft girl coins and a somersault cloud.
For the first time, the entire Blue Star is limited to 1,000 pieces, each with a unique number, and will be available for pre-order on January 20.
The Mr.BM's introduction came to an end with thunderous applause, and then the moderator announced that the reporters could start asking questions.
The arms in the audience sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and the host casually ordered a reporter with the highest arm and the loudest voice, uh, it was James.
"What are the countries and regions where will the first release be?" , James asked a sensible question,
"China, Europa, the Middle East, the Sun Country, and so on," Mr.BM said.
"Why is there no rice country?" James keenly found the problem,
"You have to ask the commerce department of the rice country, and we have also applied for the first sale in the rice country, but after careful research, you feel that our equipment may have potential safety hazards and is prohibited from being sold in the rice country."
James couldn't help but greet the immediate family members of the rice buckets in the Ministry of Commerce, what safety risks would this thing have, isn't it nonsense.
At this time, the host pointed out the second reporter who asked a question, "May I ask if the price is close to 30,000 US dollars, is it too expensive?" ”
Before Mr.BM could answer, the reporters and viewers on the side had already made bursts of mocking voices, "Don't buy it if it's too expensive."
"So many black technologies, less than 30,000 US dollars, this is still expensive",
"In the end, people from small places, I don't know",
Mr.BM said with a smile, "I think everyone's words have been answered on my behalf, to be honest, I don't think 30,000 US dollars is expensive at all, I also want to get one after the listing, but this time we don't have an internal index, Professor Wang has provided a total of 1,000 sets",
He pointed to the top of his head, "Even our big boss Ren, if he wants to buy it, he can only book and buy it."
This completely ignited the atmosphere of the press conference, "Can I book now?" ”,
"Is there an auction to be arranged?"
"When is the second batch expected to be released after the first batch is sold out",
。。。
The reporters at the bottom couldn't care about the order, and a large wave of questions came crazy, and the host had to repeatedly reiterate the order, and then selected two or three reporters to ask questions together to control the atmosphere of the venue.
As soon as this press conference ended, Spreading Cloud immediately began to swipe the entire Blue Star, and on all video websites, the advertising video of Spreading Cloud released by Mr.BM immediately became the number one existence.
In the comment section of the video, all kinds of incredible comments can be seen everywhere, "This is just so cool",
"Can you really walk on water?" ,
"It's not too romantic to imagine my girlfriend standing in the middle of the island in her wedding dress and I step on somersault clouds to propose to her",
Of course, whether the military of various countries has taken into account some special uses of this thing, this is not something that Wang Yinan can consider.
Mr.BM's phone was even more exploding, and people who had nothing to do with him asked him about the reservation, "Can you leave me a reservation place", this sentence Mr.BM almost sound calloused.
In the end, even the big boss was not calm, "That Xiaoyu, I heard that you acted as Professor Wang's somersault cloud", the big boss personally called Mr.BM,
"Yes, now we are arranging the reservation on the 20th, and our technical department has specially developed a reservation program that is being tested, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of people are not a big problem with reservations."
Mr.BM knows what the big boss is looking for him, but he can only pretend to be stupid, every cloud is ordered, give the boss one or two, in case it leaks out, it will be a big scandal.
I pretended to care about my work for a while, and in the end, the big boss was not embarrassed to bring up the matter of somersault clouds, so I had to hang up the phone unsatisfied, Mr.BM hung up the phone, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and "finally fooled the biggest trouble."
James was lucky, as the first journalist to be drawn to ask questions at the press conference, he was selected to be the lucky winner of the first media review, getting the somersault cloud that Mr.BM stepped under his feet at the press conference.
When James stepped on a somersault cloud and floated into the editorial office the next day, the whole building was a sensation, and the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief hurriedly called James to his office, and experienced the feeling of stepping on a somersault cloud.
James wrote a long review on the same day and posted it on the media's website, which described in detail the fantastic feeling he felt after stepping on the somersault cloud, so the online media, as well as the big Vs of the self-media, hyped up this only review of Blue Star.
But the strange thing is that after the publication of this article, James disappeared with a somersault cloud, and when Zhongwei wanted to get back the review somersault cloud, no one could be found, and no one in the editorial department knew his whereabouts.
Rumor has it that James was seen stepping on a somersault cloud when he was put into a car with an FBI logo by several men in black suits and apparently armed men, and then disappeared without a sound.
