Chapter 228: Exhibiting at CES
After the topic of Lin Ruxian's marriage cooled down, Li Hong finally let go of the worries in his heart. While there are still some bits and pieces of discussion online, it's harmless.
In fact, even Lin Ruxian herself didn't expect that such a big event as her announcement of marriage would end after just a burst of excitement on the Internet. Except for a little turmoil, it didn't have much impact on her popularity.
I have to say that the ratio of tens of thousands of pi still shares the pressure on Lin Ruxian very well.
After making a call to Lin Ruxian, Sister Wang hung up the phone in surprise.
"This stupid girl actually told Li Hong all our plans, and that kid didn't make a fuss? This is really strange......" Sister Wang muttered in surprise.
……
In the disturbing network tearing war, Li Hong successfully got out and returned to the former Riot Games, now Sweet Potato Technology Company.
"How? Is production of our virtual helmets begin? Li Hong asked Mark who came in a hurry.
Mark shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Boss, you only said this yesterday, and today we just set up the factory." We have only produced more than 2,000 helmets on an experimental basis, and it is still some time before mass production. ”
"Then why did you call me to the company in a hurry?" Li Hong was puzzled.
In fact, on the way to send Lin Ruxian home, Li Hong received a call from Mark. On the phone, Mark kept urging him to come to the company, saying that there was an urgent report.
"Boss, do you have any CES_2018 concern?" Mark said mysteriously.
Li Hong had never heard of the term CES, although judging by the age of the suffix, it should be an annual event. But to be honest, Li Hong really didn't know what it was.
"What's the deal? Say, what do you want to do? ”
Mark smiled mysteriously and explained to himself: "CES, the full name is the International Consumer Electronics Show. It is a consumer electronics show held by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association in Las Vegas every January. So far, it has been held for 50 years, and it is highly regarded in the world. ”
"So ......" Li Hong's eyes lit up thoughtfully.
Mark laughed, his eyes full of indescribable confidence: "Boss, I'm afraid you don't know that many world-famous technologies and products have been displayed on the stage of CES. ”
"In 1974, optical discs made their debut at CES as a new storage tool."
"In 1981, CDs and portable camcorders hit the world stage."
"In 1988, Tetris dominated the CES show."
"In 1996, the DVD and Apple Pippin became the protagonists."
"In 1998, HDTV came out."
"In 2001, Microsoft's Xbox was unveiled at CES in January."
"In 2003, the Blu-ray format standard became an industry consensus."
"In 2010, tablets were the focus of CES."
"In 2011, naked-eye 3D TV debuted at CES."
"Boss, every time there is an innovation and innovation in consumer electronics, you can look for bright spots on the stage of CES. I think we can attend the CES2018 next January. Mark suggested.
"Uh, why aren't there iPhones in here?" Li Hong was very curious.
These examples cited by Mark can also be regarded as representatives of consumer electronics. But it's strange that there is no iPhone in it.
"It's nothing, can I say that CES is Apple's sad place?" Mark snickered.
Li Hong was puzzled: "What sad? ”
In fact, Apple was very happy to participate in CES when it was founded, but every time they launched a product at CES, there was no doubt that it suffered serious failures. This also leads to Apple's attitude towards CES, which is a bit of a ...... In your Huaxia words, it's a mixture of love and hate! Mark laughed heartily.
After speaking, Mark also told a secret story: "Boss, I'm afraid you don't know, the 2007 CES opened on January 8. And Apple's first-generation iPhone conference was on January 9. ”
"Ahem......" Li Hong almost choked to death with saliva.
Jobs, that's too annoying, isn't it? Isn't this a blatant attempt to cause chaos at CES next door? You say that you have black technology, and it doesn't matter if you don't take it to CES, after all, this involves all aspects of the problem.
But as soon as CES opened, you held your own press conference. Doesn't this tell others what is so good about those scum at CES? If you want to see black technology, it's better to pay attention to my Apple press conference!
Oh my god, how much does this old Joe hate against CES?
No wonder the first-generation iPhone was released on January 9, but it wasn't until six months later on June 29 that it went on sale. This old Joe is very hard to slap his face!
"Okay, I see. But if we are exhibiting now, will we be a little rushed in time? After listening to Mark's explanation, Li Hong was also very interested in exhibiting at CES.
It's no problem for this virtual helmet to be unveiled at CES in advance, anyway, the factory has already started mass production, and it is ready to be distributed and marketed. Besides, this is a proper black technology, even if it is dissected by foreigners, it is impossible to imitate it.
Because even the initiator like Li Hong doesn't know the principle of this thing, and they are blind without the drawings. Obviously, this kind of black technology is still too high from their technological level. At best, they can only make it, and they don't understand the principle of it.
They are all like this, if outsiders can figure out something, then Li Hong is really admired.
Just kidding, as long as the core drawings are not leaked, this virtual helmet is simply an inexplicable existence!
Since there are no worries about this, there is naturally no problem with appearing at CES. On the contrary, it was a big show at CES, which could also save them a lot of advertising costs.
"It's December 30th, so it's too rushed." Li Hong frowned and said.
It's the end of 2017 now, and it's a matter of a day or two before 2018. This time is too rushed, and they are afraid that they will not even be able to get visas and passports.
It's okay boss, I can represent our company in the exhibition. I have a passport from an ugly country, and I can return to China visa-free. All we need to do is bring a few designers. Mark said confidently.
Mark didn't say that Li Hong really forgot that the identity of the world that the main god arranged for Mark's fist designers was an ugly countryman. After all, Mark is different from Soul Fade, Soul Fade They are still yellow no matter how they say it, and it won't be too conspicuous if there are more people.
But Mark is a foreigner after all, if there are a large number of foreigners with Chinese ID cards at once, it will definitely attract the attention of outsiders. Therefore, Mark they hold a long-term work passport for expatriates.
This makes it extremely convenient for them to enter and exit the ugly country.
"Okay, then you lead the team to the exhibition." Li Hong quickly made a decision.
Mark: They are all locked in loyalty, and there is no question of betrayal or anything. In that case, what is there not to worry about?
