Chapter 142: Countdown Preparation (Part II)
After taking a few sets of photos, why not use a notebook to put the photos in the live broadcast post for the scene, and write a paragraph: "There are still more than three hours and forty minutes before the press conference, but there are already more than 1,000 people on the scene." ”
"If netizens in the East China Sea can come directly, the press conference will be broadcast live on the big screen outside at the same time, and netizens who can't come can click on the live broadcast link below to watch."
The entire conference venue can accommodate more than 800 people, there are bound to be many people who cannot enter, in addition to the media who received the invitation, before that, on the official website of wisdom technology, there is also a registration lottery, the official of wisdom technology will be a week before the press conference, will be selected from the netizens who left a message below the event, select 500 lucky winners, in addition to will get an invitation to the press conference site seats, will also get special souvenirs, and 300 yuan coupons for the products after the conference.
For the so-called 300 yuan coupon, many people don't care much, the East China Sea locals don't say much, if it is the East China Sea locals, people who are willing to come, just the travel expenses are more than these, can you care about this 300 yuan coupon?
But from the 300 yuan coupon, many people seem to be able to figure out a lot of things.
First of all, the 300 yuan coupon is not too big and not too small, it is basically a moderate choice, but since it is 300 yuan, the price of the product should be at least in the range of more than 1500 yuan.
What exactly will be next? It's almost 100% sure that it should be a mobile phone, so what will be the characteristics of the mobile phone and the rest of the information? Not to mention the revelations, even until this moment, only a few hours before the press conference, there is no official statement about what the released product is.
If it is the press conference of the rest of the domestic mobile phone manufacturers. No one really dares to do this so-called lottery.
It's a bit of a self-inflicted humiliation to do so.
After the 500 lucky winners are selected, if the travel fee is not covered, how many people will be willing to travel thousands of miles to come here just to watch a press conference? Even if the travel fee is covered, I'm afraid few people choose not to go to work and ask for leave.
However, this launch event was completely different.
Inside that sweepstakes post. The number of replies exceeded 250,000!
250,000 replies, what is this concept?
After being restricted from one person to only reply to one post, it means that more than 250,000 people participated in replying to the lottery post!
This amount is really scary, but what is even more surprising is that after the official announcement of the winner's ID, after the official announcement of the winner's ID, after really sending out 500 invitations, there are no winners on the Internet, and the price of an invitation letter of 1000 yuan is issued...... But no one paid any attention to it, just because it was that afternoon. The price of an invitation was fried to 6,000 yuan a piece.
The lucky winner couldn't bear it anymore and immediately made a deal.
However, these people who made a move immediately regretted it the next day. Just because the next day, the price of an invitation letter was 12,000 yuan!
Crazy, this immediately became a major news of the day, which was originally brushed all over the circle of friends and micro. Bo's press conference once again made headlines because of the invitation. Many people think it's crazy. Although this is not as exaggerated as 80,000 or 90,000 tickets for the Spring Festival Gala, this is not the Spring Festival Gala. It's just a press conference, as for the invitation to be hyped up to such a price? Is there such a value?
Even Apple's conference could not have such value.
But many people who want to grab tickets want to say "It's worth it!" ”
On the eve of the press conference, although the official did not reveal any information about what kind of product it was, the news came from nowhere. It's going to be a very unique launch event where AI will really get into the spotlight!
Artificial intelligence, what a beautiful word. No matter what people think about AI, it can't be denied that once full-fledged AI is truly born. It is difficult to predict what impact it will have on the future of society, which will completely change the whole world, the whole life of mankind.
In "Coco", people have already seen the signs of this...... No, or it's already a tip, then for a product that hasn't been released yet, at least it won't be a little worse than "Cocoa".
There are people who think it is not worth it, but after another day, many people are dumbfounded, the price of an invitation to this conference, in the foreign software engineers, developer groups, there are many people at the price of 5,000 US dollars to get one, as if they want to come to China.
But is that the end of it?
No, it's far from over.
The Spring Festival Gala is held every year, and the on-site seat position is hyped up to eighty or ninety thousand tickets, so it is about artificial intelligence that can change the world, and many people never mind going to the scene to feel the moment that changes history, and therefore, in only three days, the price of an invitation has reached more than 15,000 US dollars abroad.
This is already a real sky-high price, even many foreign middle-class or not bad engineers have to hesitate a few times in the face of this price.
But when many people are hesitant in the face of this price, Facebook and Alphabet, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Sony and other large companies attach more importance to this matter than outsiders can imagine. Although they all received media and group invitations, they were generally only a few, which was far from enough for the number of people they wanted to send out.
For these deep-pocketed companies, this little money is nothing at all, and the few invitations that came out were quickly cut off and bought, and the transaction price was unknown, and many individuals hesitated slightly, and in the next few days, even though the price had been speculated to 25,000 US dollars, no one made a move.
It's just an invitation to make such a change. Many domestic mobile phone manufacturers who are still watching only feel dumbfounded, and after reacting, they secretly scolded the official shamelessness.
In fact, the hype can be completely controlled by smart technology, as long as the invitation is stated to be non-tradable and personal identity information is bound in advance, then there is no hype. However, the official ignored this, neither fanned nor paid attention to it, as if it had nothing to do with him, and the clear and high appearance puzzled many people.
In any case, it doesn't matter whether the official is behind all this or not. The important thing is that even people who don't care about artificial intelligence and don't understand artificial intelligence at least understand the price, and they are stunned by the price of an invitation function of 10,000 dollars, and they can't believe it at all.
The closer to the time of the press conference, the major media, the media that did not report science and technology news in the past, were also swept by this storm, the official of smart technology and "hard-core technology" companies, not a penny of advertising money was spent, and I don't know how many media and "tap water" army helped to publicize, which was several times more lively than Apple's press conference.
He was well aware of this, but now he felt that he was underestimating.
At half past four in the afternoon, three and a half hours before the press conference, there were more than 2,000 people standing in the square outside, or more than 3,000 people? The black pressure was so large that it was impossible to count the heads, so that there were not enough security guards, and the police sent hundreds of people to maintain order.
The employees wearing the logo of smart technology also help maintain order, and the number is estimated to be about 100 people, but compared with many people, it is still pitiful. With so many people gathered together, the cacophony of voices in the square was disturbing, and if you spoke a little lower, you could barely hear what the other was saying.
"Brother He, there are so many people."
Qi Junpeng was sweating, he was very squeezed holding the camera, and he had to be careful to protect the equipment, and he wanted to cry hard.
"Oh, are you going to start clearing the field?"
He wanted to take a few more photos, but as the crowd became more crowded, he had already lost the idea.
Fortunately, in order to prevent accidents caused by too many people in the hall, the employees of Smart Technology began to clear the hall and let the crowd go out first...... After all, no matter how many people there are, the square outside can also accommodate it, but the hall is not good, if everyone has to come in to see the excitement, if there is an accident, it will be a major accident of trampling.
Why don't you want to go back to the media lounge, so you took the opportunity to go out of the door of the convention and exhibition center and patted Qi Junpeng on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go and eat dinner first, and then it's not too late to come back." ”
Anyway, there are media invitations, so you don't have to worry too much about coming late. (To be continued.) )
