I Became Rich Relying on Black Tech Patents

All-around genius Dai Li, holder of tens of thousands of invention patents, transmigrated into a novel. She became a scandal-ridden female celebrity in an entertainment circle story, burdened with ...

Chapter 40 The 40th Patent

At first, Tong Yang was still sleepwalking, not sure whether the magical machine he had taken apart yesterday was reality or a dream.

Until he saw the flood of private messages and comments, as well as the lucky draw update he posted yesterday.

He quickly called the butler.

Then I was told that the raffle prizes had been packed and the courier came to collect them two hours ago.

Tong Yang was petrified on the spot.

Housekeeper: "Master, did I send you something I shouldn't have sent?"

Shouldn't it have been sent away? What the housekeeper sent away was not just a mobile phone, but his life.

But this matter cannot be blamed on the housekeeper. It was he who wanted to draw the lottery, and it was he who did not inform the housekeeper in advance to leave the "XIU" phone.

Tong Yang lay on the sofa with a look of despair, his eyes dull, like a dead fish.

"It has nothing to do with you. It was my own mistake."

The butler was a graduate of the elite Royal Butler Academy. He had been working for more than 20 years and had never made a mistake in his employer's home. This was the first time he had made such a serious mistake.

This was also the first time he saw Tong Yang so distraught, even more heartbroken than the love-brained male protagonist in the melodramatic TV dramas.

The butler's biggest task is to serve his employer well. When he realizes that he has done something wrong, he immediately thinks about how to save the situation.

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "The package should not have left the city yet. I will go and help the young master to recall the courier."

Tong Yang shook his head and stopped the housekeeper's proposal.

Every time he holds a lottery, the items are sent out randomly. Thirty or forty blind box packages are scattered all over the country, and fans get whatever they receive.

It is impossible to recall the "XIU" mobile phone alone, so all express deliveries can only be recalled.

However, the workload of recalling all the products is too huge, and it may not be possible to recall all of them, which will also affect the time when fans can receive the goods.

Housekeeper: "How about we ask the phone brand to send us another one?"

Tong Yang sat up in shock, a dying salted fish suddenly showing signs of life.

Then he found out that he didn't have the brand's contact information.

The outer packaging of the mobile phone has been sent with the package, and the "XIU" mobile phone does not have an official account, so it cannot be found after searching the entire Internet.

The mobile phones they make are so great, but why does the brand show no sign of wanting to do business properly and doesn’t even know how to market themselves?

Tong Yang's resentment is extremely great.

On this day, he was looking through the materials he had reviewed yesterday and kept beating his feet and stamping his chest.

He had only recorded half of his review video, introducing the appearance, performance and parameters. He had not yet had time to test the chip installed and make a horizontal comparison with other brands.

The video was not finished and the magic phone was sent away by mistake. Either of these two things would make Tong Yang unable to sleep or eat.

So, after posting the video for more than a month, he posted a third update within two days.

[Xiaoyang V who loves testing]: Brothers, the review unit was mistakenly mailed out along with the raffle prizes. If anyone received one, please send it back to me and I will provide compensation.

[Milk and Sour Cabbage]: Magic machine? I won’t return it then.

[逆风翻花挂]: Wow, where did this little idiot come from? He even sent out the review phone by mistake. Hehehe, I'm laughing at you.

[Xiaoyang must update today]: Let me send it back to you? Then call dad to listen first (oh, I forgot I don’t think I won the prize).

[Gunara Dark Aunt]: If I win the prize, I will send it back to you. It's your fault for not slapping me/picking my nose every time.

Apart from one or two people who patted his head out of sympathy, thousands of comments were either making fun of him or mocking him. Those who felt sorry for him seemed so out of place.

[Xiaoyang V who loves testing reviews]: No kidding, brothers, I haven't even finished shooting the video, and I feel really bad now. Brothers who have received the phone, please contact me, I am willing to buy it back for 100,000.

After Tong Yang announced the reward amount, those who were joking stopped laughing at him and all sighed in unison.

"Oh shit."

The fact that he was able to spend 100,000 yuan to buy back a mobile phone shows how much Tong Yang wanted to get back the phone he had mistakenly sent out.

However, the fans who won the prizes all posted photos of the gifts they received, but the person who received the "XIU" phone has not shown up yet.

Fans help Tong Yang find the winners on the entire internet every day, and once they find one, it becomes a new meme.

But the person still wasn't found.

Tong Yang promised to update in the next two days, but his account has been silent.

Fans couldn't wait and urged him to ask when he would update.

The video material has not been finished. If it were based on Tong Yang's previous standards, he would definitely have postponed this update.

But he was unwilling to miss this video and let the "XIU" phone be sealed in his computer forever.

He would look at the video material several times every day. Finally, on a quiet and deserted night, he tossed and turned in bed, and finally got up, turned on the computer and started editing the video.

The edited video is less than eight minutes long, making it the shortest and least complete of all his videos.

But he still chose to upload it.

Fans saw his video early in the morning, but before they started to feel happy, they noticed that the length of the video was wrong. When they clicked on it, they found that something was even more wrong.

Tong Yang does not show his face when shooting videos. Instead, he directly gives close-ups of the products and does his own dubbing off-screen.

There was no review phone at the beginning of this video. There was only Tong Yang's hands on the empty table. He did not do any post-production dubbing, but recorded the sound on the spot.

The nearly two-minute self-narration was all about him, the victim, complaining. At the end, he even called out to the brand of the "XIU" mobile phone, asking them to give him his contact information as he wanted to buy another phone.

Seeing this, the fans are still laughing.

Saying he deserves it makes you not value the gift from the brand owner.

The fans were shocked throughout the video content that followed.

Tong Yang had already explained before the video that he only tested part of the phone's performance, and what he could show was not comprehensive enough.

Even so, fans were still amazed at the running speed of this phone. What's even more amazing is that when Tong Yang said that the phone has a sense of smell function, almost all the viewers watching the video were shocked.

[Edward the Barber]: What the hell, can you smell something? Today isn't April 1st, is it?

[Addicted to repairing donkey hooves]: Hahahaha, a phone that can smell something, Lao Yang, are you doing something fancy again? /dge.

[International supermodel Wang Cuihua]: Stupid Xiaoyang, why don’t you make your actions interesting? Netizens nowadays are not so easy to fool.

[Little Orangutan]: No way, I’m so easy to fool. Wow, a phone that can smell odors, so cool/starry eyes.

[Just give a random name]: Lao Yang, you are not honest at all. You didn’t even share your mobile phone that can smell something with your brothers. Hurry up and post the link on 123. I want to buy a car for my child.

Tong Yang makes videos purely out of personal interest. He doesn’t make money from making videos, nor does he become famous by being a blogger.

He takes his videos very seriously and hates it most when others question his professionalism.

[Xiaoyang V who loves testing]: I’m not kidding you, every item is my real experience after using it myself. If the phone was not sent out by mistake, I would invite fans to my house to experience it in person, so that you can see whether this phone can really smell.

Tong Yang's explanation without any evidence seems a bit pale and not very convincing to the audience.

His own fans are more tolerant. Apart from making jokes, they won't say anything unpleasant. They basically say that he is just joking and joking with his fans.

But he has offended many brands and other bloggers over the years. These brands also have fan groups, and now they have finally found a point to attack him.

The one that received the most likes was when someone said he was advertising.

[City Hound]: How much money did Xiaoyang from Ai Ceping receive this time? Was he bribed a long time ago? A nobodies brand that I have never heard of took out an advertisement for several days, and he even offered 100,000 yuan to buy it back. I guess he will never be able to give away this 100,000 yuan in his lifetime. You have learned the ropes of advertising, and you deserve the Oscar for advertising.

This person's remarks have misled many people's thinking.

One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. Most people may not be able to earn one hundred thousand yuan a year. Who wouldn’t be tempted by it?

If someone really received the phone reviewed by Tong Yang, would they refuse to pay the 100,000 yuan and keep the phone?

Obviously, as long as they have no problem with their brains, most people would choose 100,000 yuan.

The most important thing is that the person who received the review phone has not shown up so far, which makes it hard not to doubt whether anyone has received the review phone.

The internet is full of conspiracy theorists.

For a time, almost all netizens speculated that Tong Yang had accepted the advertisement, and more and more people began to mock him.

They said he used to be quite arrogant and claimed that he would never take any advertising. They mocked him for being down and out now and starting to make money by taking any kind of cheap stuff.

Fans of "Yunse" naturally would not miss this opportunity. They had not forgotten how Tong Yang had complained about "Yunse" before, saying that "Yunse" was a rubbish phone.

In the past, Tong Yang’s position in the digital area was irreplaceable. The biggest reason was that he did not accept advertisements and his reviews were real and not fake.

Once he is suspected of accepting secret advertisements, looking back at his reviews, one can't help but wonder, did he take money for this video?

The digital world is so small, and it quickly spread throughout the entire digital world.

As a result, "Yundu" and "Yunsese", which he had previously complained about, once again entered the public eye.

However, this time, public opinion is more inclined towards Yundu Company.

"Yunse" took advantage of the situation and got some free publicity.

Song Ji couldn't help laughing out loud as he looked at the sudden increase in fans and orders.

The market reputation of "Yunsel" is indeed better than that of "Yundu", not only because it has 4nm chips provided by overseas companies, but also because it borrows the native system of overseas companies. After Zhu Junzhe's modification, there is no trace of other brand systems.

After a series of operations by Song Ji, the previous bugs in the "Yundu" series were pushed onto the former technical team leader. Yundu Company made money and he gained face.

The major overseas shareholders were very satisfied with Yundu's sales for the month, and asked Song Ji to increase publicity and use the gimmick of the independently developed system to make more money from national sentiment.

Since everyone has to buy chips overseas anyway, Yundu's 4nm process already has an inherent advantage in the domestic market, easily surpassing other domestic mobile phone chips. The only thing left is the system, and as long as it meets the passing line, the phone will have no problem selling.

The overseas major shareholder arrogantly said during the video conference, "Song, looking at the market in your country, there are too few phones that can use our 4nm chips. Because if we don't sell them to you, you can't make them yourself. Your Yundu joining our group is a very correct choice. I dare say that the "Yunse" phone will definitely not find any competitor in your market."

Song Ji: "It is our honor to join your company, thanks to Mr. Royce's kindness. Otherwise, how could we get 4nm chips? 4nm chips are completely different from domestic 7nm chips. There is no comparison. If you ask me, mobile phones made with 7nm chips are electronic garbage."

The overseas major shareholder was most pleased with Song Ji's tact. He nodded with a smile and said, "I know your people have that kind of, what's called, national sentiment? As long as it's something you make, everyone is happy to generously support it. You should put more effort into publicity. You know your market is very large."

He acquired Yundu because he was interested in the domestic consumer market.

Nowadays, foreign-made mobile phones are not as popular as domestically developed ones, and the market share has been almost completely divided up by domestic mobile phones.

Song Ji tells stories well and already has a certain number of loyal fans. What he lacks now is a good chip and a maturely designed system.

Royce happened to have both of these.

One person wants to make money, the other wants to make money respectably.

The two people's ideas hit it off immediately.

Seeing the achievements of "Yunse" today, Song Ji was very glad that he had gone against the crowd and insisted on cooperating with Royce.

After the meeting, Song Ji said to Zhu Junzhe, "Boss Zhu, I'll have to continue to work hard on you. You need to keep a close eye on Yunse."

Zhu Junzhe looked unhappy. It could be said that his expression had never been good since Song Ji sold Yundu shares to foreign capital.

At first, based on just one afternoon's conversation, he thought Song Ji was his confidant and that he also had his own unfulfilled ambitions.

He thought at the time that the two of them would be able to achieve great things, but who would have thought that they would be met with constant "surprises" as soon as they arrived at Yundu.

At first, he was a runner in the technical department. His first job after joining the company was to make phone calls and use his connections to help Yundu put together a team.

His second job after joining the company was to lead a team to modify other people's systems in a way that users could not see.

The work content challenges his bottom line all the time.

He had endured all of this, but after hearing Royce's arrogant and greedy face in the video conference just now, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhu Junzhe: "Mr. Song has made a lot of money now, but I'm afraid he has forgotten his original intention."

Song Ji laughed and said, "How is that possible? We have to make the Yundu series of mobile phones, but we have to make money from Yunse."

Zhu Junzhe sneered, "The Yundu series doesn't have any 4nm chips. Is Mr. Song planning to create electronic waste?"

Song Ji: "Mr. Zhu, are you even bothering with these superficial words that flatter the major shareholder?"

Zhu Junzhe: "I'm afraid these aren't just polite words, but what's really in your heart, Mr. Song."

The two parted on bad terms.

Song Ji has no time to appease Zhu Junzhe. No matter how different Zhu Junzhe's ideas are from his, he has to do all the work he is supposed to do.

And this time he was not afraid that Zhu Junzhe would run away. Zhu Junzhe signed a non-compete agreement with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan. If he dared to run away, he would not only have to pay Song Ji liquidated damages, but he would also not be able to engage in related work within a year.

Song Ji’s most important task right now is to complete the task assigned by the boss and promote “Yunse” well.

Given his status, the best and cheapest way to promote himself is to constantly show his face in front of the public.

He is deeply connected with "Yundu". When people see him, they will think of Yundu, and when they think of Yundu, they will think of their recently released "Yunsei" series.

Therefore, he is very active on major social media platforms, answering various digital questions and participating in discussions on hot topics.

The hottest topic in the digital circle right now is Tong Yang’s “car crash” video.

After reading it, Song Ji unsurprisingly joined the discussion.

In the form of a short essay, I responded to Tong Yang's short essay.

[Yun Du Song Ji]:

"I seriously doubt the authenticity of @爱测评's Xiaoyang video. The clips of him turning on the phone and opening the app were clearly edited. The speed was too fast and fake to be authentic at all.

The 4nm chip on our Yunse is already the most advanced chip. Even the most advanced 4nm chip takes a while to boot up and launch applications. How can other chips be faster than ours? I hope @爱测评小洋 will be more careful when editing videos in the future and not make similar mistakes again.

Another thing is that he said that mobile phones can smell. This is the most speechless part of the whole video. I think it is very funny, but I really can't laugh. I was thinking, do some people really have no bottom line in order to make money now? As long as it can attract attention, no matter how outrageous the words are, they will say them.

Are they trying to attract some curious customers and simple, unthinking users, and make a quick buck and leave?

The entire mobile phone market, and even the digital market, is still too impetuous. I hope more colleagues can calm down and focus on making products, and stop using flashy gimmicks. Review bloggers should also be cautious and not be blinded by the glitz. Once they fail, they will only lose both their reputation and wealth. Let's encourage each other / bow to each other."

His short composition, like Tong Yang's, was quickly praised and ranked first.

The personal opinions he concealed in his short essay also played a role and improved his image a lot.

Tong Yang was too lazy to respond and directly uploaded the unedited video, a total of 4 hours of material, to the Internet.

Let everyone see for themselves whether he edited or sped up the video.

But he couldn't prove that mobile phones could smell.

But there is a very interesting thing in his material. In the video, he is playing a food-related mobile game, and his cat jumps onto the table to make trouble, meowing around his phone, sniffing at his phone constantly, and even stretching out its claws to dig the phone into its mouth.

Someone who has raised a cat immediately expressed his opinion, saying that this looked exactly like the greedy look on the face of his cat when it saw him eating.

The others also felt more and more that the cat was attracted by the scent.

Some people boldly hypothesized that this phone could really smell something.

This hypothesis immediately sparked heated discussion, but it was just the beginning.

What really heated up the discussion was that more and more bloggers updated related videos.

The first one is the top food blogger, Lao Yu, who can cook a little.

This is the first time that the subject of his video is not cooking, but filming with a mobile phone.

The video shows the familiar studio and the familiar stove, with a pot of tomato-braised beef brisket stewing on the stove.

The tomato soup is thick, and the beef brisket is stewed until soft and rotten, bubbling in the cast iron pot.

This picture alone is enough to make people salivate.

Lao Yu's voice appeared on the screen: "When you watched my videos before, you always said you wanted a phone that could smell. This was just a joke between us, but today I tell you that the joke has become a reality. A phone that can smell smells really exists! The XIU in my hand can smell smells. It's very, very real, just like putting food in front of you."

"This was sent to me by the brand. I don't know when it will be released, but please be sure to buy it in the future, and then come and smell how delicious my pot of tomato beef brisket is!"

His voice was so high-pitched and excited that the comments on the comment board were all urging him to calm down and not drool into the pot.

He replied in the comment: [Even if your spit flies in, it still can't stop you from drooling over my pot of tomato beef brisket]

If only one or two bloggers said that they received a mobile phone that can smell, the impact would not be that great.

But more and more bloggers have updated their videos to show that they have received the "XIU" mobile phones.

It's either the digital technology area or the food area.

In the food section, everyone is taking pictures of themselves cooking, and then strongly recommending the "XIU" mobile phone.

Only one female blogger took a different approach. She performed a cooking show on the spot while watching other food bloggers cook. As a result, she became so greedy that she also severely "criticized" the mobile phone in the video, saying that this phone was the source of "sin" and that everyone who owned this phone would gain weight unknowingly because you never know how tempting the dishes cooked by food bloggers are.

Bloggers in the digital area are relatively more professional. They have conducted a series of tests on the parameters and performance of mobile phones.

The test results are obvious to any layman. No matter which item, it definitely beats all other mobile phones on the market.

The most controversial olfactory function has also received the highest praise from all digital bloggers.

He said the olfactory function is the most eye-catching, amazing and incredible feature of the "XIU" mobile phone.

The powerful chip processing speed and the original energy collector make this phone flawless.

If they could only use one mobile phone in their life, all of them would choose the "XIU" phone.

It was also at this time that the fan who won the "XIU" mobile phone contacted Tong Yang.

It turned out that this fan had gone back to his hometown to do some business and had left the package at the post office without picking it up. He only found out that he had won the prize when he came back.

However, he did not ask Tong Yang for money, and sent the phone back to Tong Yang at his own expense.

The phone was lost and then found. Tong Yang insisted on giving the fan 100,000 yuan regardless of whether the fan really didn't want it or was just pretending to refuse.

The netizens who had mocked him at the beginning were extremely envious.

That wasn't enough, so he posted several photos of himself, showing him riding horses in his spacious estate, and antiques collected from all over the world in his collection, including his luxurious and extravagant room.

He has never had the habit of showing off his wealth, let alone on the Internet.

From elementary school to university, he dressed and spent money like ordinary people, and none of his classmates knew that his family was rich.

This was the first time he showed off his wealth, because he really wanted to show off.

[小洋v who loves testing]: Tell me, how much money can you use to buy me off with my family property? I advise you to guess high and don't insult me ​​with small amounts of money.

[Master Wang from the next village]: Damn, I was just calling you Young Master jokingly before, I didn’t expect you really are the young master of a wealthy family.

[Inorganic pure milk]: The young master will never be bribed. The young master will only directly acquire the brand/dge.

[Snow White's stepfather]: So, young master, have you found the brand's contact information? My child wants to buy a mobile phone that can smell.

No matter how rich Young Master Tong Yang is, there are many things he cannot do, such as he has not yet found the brand of this "XIU" mobile phone.

The harder something is to find, the more enthusiastic it is among netizens.

What’s more, it’s such an awesome machine, who wouldn’t want to own one?

Overnight, the entire Internet was swept by the trend of searching for the "XIU" mobile phone brand.

Sister Tu has been observing the online trends.

"Dade, everyone on the Internet is looking for our phone."

No one in the company seemed to be in a hurry, especially Dai Li.

When being questioned by the whole network a few days ago, someone suggested taking the opportunity to register an account for promotion, but it was rejected by Dai Li.

Her original words were: "Wars of words in public opinion are such a waste of time. We'd rather spend that time doing something more serious. Is there any need to talk about the performance of our phones? We don't need our own publicity. In a few days, there will be plenty of people who will take the initiative to promote us."

Now everything she said has come true. The bloggers who have used her products have become the tap water of their phones and spontaneously promote them.

In some digital bloggers' videos, "XIU" and "Yunse" appeared at the same time. "Yunse", who was praised to the sky before, is now being beaten badly in all aspects in front of "XIU".

"Has the online discussion started?" Dai Li hasn't checked the online situation recently.

"It's not just rising, it's exploding!" Sister Tu excitedly showed her the search data.

Dai Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded with satisfaction: "Then register an official account now and notify the sale tomorrow."
