Sure enough, the mayor of Shanghai has a lot of influence. Before Lin Chen had even finished his cup of tea, he received a reply stating that his next available time was three days from now.
After confirming the time, Lin Chen took his leave.
The mayor only made one request: that Lin Chen mention at the new product launch that he was grateful for the strong support from the Shanghai government.
Look, this is a truly good leader who serves the people!
When Lin Chen returned to the headquarters of Xingchen Technology, he found Lei Jun waiting for him in his office.
"Brother Jun, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't this what I've been waiting for your news? If all else fails, I'll go to Beijing and try to find someone else to help me."
"No need, it's already taken care of."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I personally took charge. How could there be anything I couldn't handle? Three days later, at the National Convention Center, Shanghai Science and Technology Park, the Folding World & Xiaomi Technology New Product Launch Conference."
"Three days later, so soon?"
"Yes, we're in a hurry. We have to leave tomorrow. I only managed to get this venue by using the gimmick of being the world's number one."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now."
After Lei Jun left, Lin Chen informed Liu Zihong to prepare for the press conference three days later, while he began writing a speech for Lei Jun.
Two days later, Lin Chen, along with An Rou, Lei Jun, and Liu Zihong, met up and headed to the capital.
As soon as the four of them got off the plane, they took a taxi straight to the National Convention Center.
Looking at the magnificent National Convention Center, Lei Jun and Liu Zihong were both deeply moved.
Lei Jun never imagined that he, who started his business from scratch at the age of forty, would unknowingly reach this point. It seems that ever since he met Lin Chen in that coffee shop, his life has been going smoothly, like he's on a winning streak.
Liu Zihong never imagined that he would be standing in a national-level conference center giving a speech while working abroad.
After taking a look outside, the group didn't go in. Lei Jun's secretary had already taken care of the setup and arrangements, so they didn't need to do it themselves.
Moreover, Lei Jun's secretary had already booked rooms for them at the National Convention Center Hotel.
The four turned and walked towards the hotel.
"Brother Jun, I sent you the speech yesterday, have you read it?"
"I've read it, bro. It's very detailed. Thanks for your hard work."
"Hey, don't mention it. See you tomorrow night then."
"Huh? You're going out?"
"Yeah, I don't need to give a speech tomorrow, and I don't have anything to prepare, so of course I'm going out for a stroll."
Lei Jun and Liu Zihong exchanged a glance and chuckled to themselves. "You little punk, you think you can just skip the stage? We'll see you make a fool of yourself then."
Lei Jun is not worried at all about any mishaps at the press conference.
Please, this is Lin Chen! He has more Weibo followers than many celebrities. Even if he falls flat on his face on stage, it will still make the trending topics and might even generate a wave of buzz.
Lin Chen was completely unaware of the situation and was still discussing with An Rou where to go shopping and eat tomorrow.
The next day, Lei Jun and Liu Zihong arrived at the conference center, where Lei Jun's secretary was already waiting.
"Mr. Lei, the venue is ready and the equipment has been tested and tested. The press conference will officially begin at 8 p.m. tonight."
"Okay, have all the media been notified?"
"We had already notified them, and the media were supposed to arrive an hour early."
Lei Jun and Liu Zihong toured the venue and even went up on stage to experience it, and seemed quite satisfied.
"Mr. Lei, are we really not going to inform Mr. Lin in advance?"
"Don't worry, Brother Lin will definitely be fine. Let's give him a surprise."
"Um, are you sure it's a surprise, not a shock?"
"Haha, Lin Chen has a great attitude. He can stay calm and handle anything with ease. If you're worried about him, just think about how he lied to you back then."
With this in mind, Liu Zihong was no longer worried about Lin Chen at all, and even hoped that he would make a fool of himself.
As expected, Mr. Lei has high emotional intelligence and is really good at comforting people.
At 7 p.m., Lin Chen and An Rou had dinner outside before rushing to the venue.
Just then, the media arrived, and as soon as they saw Lin Chen approaching, they all picked up their cameras and started snapping pictures of him.
"Mr. Lin, could you give us a sneak peek at how many new products will be released tonight?"
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, what does the title 'Shanghai Science and Technology' mean in the press conference? Could you explain it to us?"
"Mr. Lin, is this your girlfriend?"
Lin Chen didn't need to answer this question; a bunch of other media people nearby simply pulled the person who asked the question out.
"Which media outlet is this? So unprofessional, they don't even recognize President An."
"Exactly, are the entry requirements for media professionals really this low now? At least do your homework before you apply."
"Oh dear, I hope I didn't upset President Lin. Look, he hasn't answered a single question."
"It must be! Which media outlet is this? We'll tear them apart in a minute!"
Lin Chen didn't pay attention to this detail, smiling and waving to the group of media people, but refused to answer any questions, wanting to keep the suspense alive.
Upon arriving backstage at the venue, I saw that Lei Jun and Liu Zihong were already dressed in sharp suits and ties.
In contrast, Lin Chen was wearing a casual shirt and jeans.
In comparison, Lin Chen seemed more like he was just strolling around, and even the media were dressed more formally than him.
"Brother Jun, are you nervous?"
"Thank goodness, bro, is this all you're wearing?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with this outfit? I'm not going on stage, I'm just sitting in the audience, so of course I'll dress however I'm comfortable."
Lei Jun's lips twitched. It was too late to call him back to change clothes at this point. Oh well, he wouldn't be the one to embarrass himself later anyway.
"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. You can go sit down in the audience first. You and President An are in the first row."
Lin Chen and An Rou nodded and then found their seats and sat down.
Not long after, at 8:00 AM sharp, the Folding World and Xiaomi Technology New Product Launch Conference officially began at Shanghai Science and Technology Park.
Lei Jun walked onto the stage in a handsome suit, and the audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Lei Jun said to the audience with a smile.
"Thank you very much for the guests, Mi fans and all the media friends present. I will be hosting today's press conference. But don't worry, your dear CEO Lin is sitting right here in the audience."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"As everyone knows, Xiaomi Technology is actually a mobile phone company, not the Xiaomi general store that is referred to online. We still focus on mobile phones."
The mobile phone market has developed very rapidly in the past two years. A few years ago, people might still be using feature phones, but now almost everyone is using smartphones, right?
