Chapter 994: Eight hundred eighty-nine, no design is the best design!

Hao Meili and Lei Mi stood like the two generals of jest.

Lei Mi was the most nervous, constantly swallowing his saliva.

Hao Meili glanced at him.

"Why are you so nervous? Why don’t you drink some water so you don’t stutter on stage later?"

She said this directly to Lei Mi.

Lei Mi simply glanced at her after hearing this.

Facing her ridicule, Lei Mi was too nervous to pay any attention.

All his focus was on the press conference ahead.

Once the conference began, facing dozens of cameras and flashes, even the thought of it felt somewhat unbearable.

Although Gu Chen never looked at Lei Mi, he could feel the tense atmosphere around him.

"Don’t panic, take your time, just follow the script given to you, and go at your own pace when you demonstrate the actual product," he said, reassuring Lei Mi, who nodded in response.

But the look of fear and unease was still present in his eyes.

This was his first time in such a formal setting.

He feared screwing everything up.

With the onset of a rendition of "down" playing at the conference venue,

the whole venue suddenly fell silent.

This music was specially recorded by Gu Chen, spending a lot of time synthesizing it using the current software.

In the previous life, this was also used at the famous Apple product launch.

A trailer started playing on the big screen of the conference.

Lei Mi immediately went backstage to prepare.

A promotional video of about ten minutes followed, showcasing the history of transformation from modern technology products like flip phones, color TVs, and MP3 players to various other electronic devices.

Finally, all products merged into one, revealing the image of the first generation of Mi phones.

Countless gazes were instantly locked onto the screen.

"What is that?"

"Is it an electronic board?"

"What is this?"

Voices of inquiry started emerging incessantly from the audience.

At that moment, Lei Mi also walked onto the stage of the conference.

On stage, Lei Mi appeared very uneasy.

Pacing back and forth as if he couldn’t stand still.

Gu Chen quietly watched from behind.

"Hello everyone,"

This was Lei Mi’s opening line as soon as he took the stage.

Just those simple three words.

"Pfft," Hao Meili chuckled lightly next to Gu Chen at the backstage.

"It feels like he’s being pushed to perform a New Year show,"

Hao Meili laughed mercilessly.

Gu Chen, however, remained as he was, continuing to watch.

He was curious about Lei Mi’s performance to come.

In the previous life, Lei Mi had made his name through his own speech.

The famous quote "Are You OK" had even taken the internet by storm!

So his expectations for Lei Mi were even greater.

...

In the beginning, Lei Mi was indeed a bit uneasy.

But soon, Lei Mi gradually adapted to this state.

"The purpose of creating this epoch-making touchscreen phone is to provide all our countrymen with a genuinely high-tech revolutionary product!"

...

"We use our proprietary semi-reflective semi-transparent technology, which maintains the screen’s clarity even under sunlight..."

...

"No design is the best design!"

...

With each astonishing statement from Lei Mi,

the entire audience was plunged into silence.

The only sound was the incessant shutter of the camera.

It filled the venue like a bass cannon, throwing everything into chaos.

At that moment, Gu Chen was observing everything from backstage.

Lei Mi’s growing mastery confirmed to Gu Chen that this man was indeed the right person for the job.

It was almost a pity to have him develop cellphones; he should have been sent to give speeches.

Hao Meili had stopped mocking and was watching Lei Mi under the lights.

He seemed like a leader of an era.

Throughout, Lei Mi was using his speech to describe just how powerful the "Mi Generation" was.

But he had yet to reveal the actual phone.

Not until after all the introductions had been made.

Lei Mi then presented the finished product he had prepared earlier.

As he did so, countless gazes turned toward him.

But fortunately, Gu Chen had preemptively prepared the broadcasting cameras, so the real-time images were displayed on the screens.

Then the next second!

When Lei Mi, holding the phone, gently pressed the power button,

the screen of the phone lit up!

All the people present stood up in an instant.

Everyone watched the scene with bated breath.

They saw only a very simple wallpaper on the phone’s interface.

And right underneath, a progress bar for unlocking.

After Lei Mi gently slid his finger across it,

"Click!"

The phone unlocked and entered the homepage.

In an instant, the previously silent audience

burst like an unrestrainable flood valve.

"It’s real! It’s actually real!"

"A touchscreen, a real touchscreen? No need for a stylus?"

"How is that possible? When did our country get such technology!"

"Can it really be operated just by fingers?"

The journalists were also stunned by the phone.

This small four-inch device seemed to hold the crystallization of science.

Everyone was expressing their astounded impressions in a mix of voices.

Below the stage,

the executives of the telecom groups all had grim expressions.

Especially the man in the cowboy hat, who looked absolutely livid.

Only Chairman Zhou was not surprised, already certain of the outcome.

It had not exceeded his expectations in the slightest.

He knew, Gu Chen was not that simple.

Baldy, the other chairman, was furious at this moment.

"How could they produce a finished product in such a short time!"

"Cai Yong! I’m asking you a question!"

Baldy asked the man in the cowboy hat.

At that moment, Cai Yong found himself momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.

He too was flustered, as it seemed utterly impossible.

"Perhaps it’s just an empty bluff," he still insisted.

The executives of the telecom groups looked at each other.

At this point, nothing they said would make a difference; they just had to keep watching.

They too hoped that Lei Mi was just posturing.

But at this moment on stage, Lei Mi was doing more than just showcasing the simple lock screen feature.

He began to delve into more details.

Introducing aspects like the phone’s camera, flashlight, music software, and more.

He also demonstrated small games that could be controlled directly with a finger on this touchscreen phone.

Each new display elicited cheers from the audience.

And the more this happened, the more uncomfortable the expressions of the telecom group executives became.
