These reporters are all too familiar with this tactic. Do they think that by hiding from me, they can't write any articles?
Soon, a series of press releases were published.
Google CEO agrees with Steve Jobs, too ashamed to show his face.
Google's CEO is furious, believing Jobs is talking nonsense.
...
Upon seeing these news reports, Sang Da'er's lips twitched. "You people are really something."
If this continues, who knows what kind of rumors these reporters will spread about us.
Therefore, he had no choice but to meet with these reporters.
"Dear journalists, regarding Steve Jobs's remarks, I don't think it's appropriate for me to answer this question. As we all know, the iPhone Z was not the world's first foldable screen phone. The first foldable screen phone was from the Android camp. Therefore, I suggest you ask Mr. Lin from Xiaomi Technology. He should be more qualified to speak on this matter."
By diverting the attention of the reporters to Lin Chen, Sang Da'er cleverly shifted the focus of the trouble onto Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was shocked when he saw the news. Seriously, you're the president of Google, how can you be so shameless as to dump such a troublesome matter on me?
If Lin Chen answers that Android is better than Apple, it would be tantamount to Xiaomi declaring war on Apple.
Xiaomi is already number one in foldable screen phones, so why compare it to Apple? Isn't that just obviously giving Apple more attention?
If Lin Chen were to answer that Android is not as good as Apple, he would be ruining Xiaomi's reputation, since Xiaomi phones all use the Android system.
Sigh, looks like I'll have to work on my own system. Knowing Google's track record, they might really pull some crazy things in the future.
The next day, countless reporters blocked the entrance of Xiaomi Technology, wanting to interview Lin Chen.
Lin Chen is already a magnet for trending topics, and now with the backing of Apple and Google, any news he posts is practically guaranteed to be a trending topic.
The traffic jams even affected employees' ability to get to work normally.
The security guards couldn't very well go up and drive the reporters away, because who knew what they would write? They might end up labeling Xiaomi as a big company bullying its customers, which would damage the company's image.
Finally, Lin Chen had no choice but to show himself at the door.
"Dear reporters, since Xiaomi's new products have just been released and I'm quite busy, I'll answer three questions, okay? Let's discuss who wants to go first."
These reporters were seasoned veterans, so this situation was no challenge for them. They quickly gathered a few acquaintances, formed a circle, and combined their questions into one.
Then several people raise their hands together, and no matter who is chosen, the same question is asked. This way, not only does the probability of being chosen increase, but everyone can also complete the task. This is definitely a workplace survival rule.
Lin Chen randomly picked a reporter.
The reporter stood up in surprise and then asked.
"Mr. Lin, what's your opinion on Steve Jobs' statement that iOS is a hundred times better than Android?"
Upon hearing this question, all the reporters perked up. What were they here for today? Wasn't it just to ask this question?
Lin Chen thought for a moment and then answered.
"Isn't this easy to understand? iOS was designed by Steve Jobs, just like his child. He thought his child was the best in the world. Isn't that human nature? I would even say that Xiaomi phones are a hundred times better than iPhones."
Uh, no, Mr. Lin, your answer was way too smooth.
The Chinese language is truly profound; your answer offended neither side and even mentioned your own Xiaomi product—it was simply brilliant!
The reporter wanted to ask more questions.
Lin Chen waved his hand.
"Each person is limited to one question. Let's invite the next person."
Lin Chen then randomly pointed to another reporter.
"Hello Mr. Lin, may I ask which system do you think is more powerful, iOS or Android?"
The reporters perked up again. "That's a good question. iOS was designed by Steve Jobs, but Android wasn't designed by you, Lin Chen, right? So tell us which one is better and which one is worse."
"Well, they each have their own merits."
Huh? No, it's that simple? You've just dismissed us with four words?
But Lin Chen ignored all of that and pointed directly to the last reporter.
"This is the last question."
The reporter stood up, and all the reporters present were looking at him. He said he was under a lot of pressure. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked.
"Mr. Lin, since each has its own merits, why did Xiaomi choose Android instead of iOS?"
The other reporters, upon hearing this, immediately recognized the contradiction: "Why did you choose Android? Is iOS bad? If you just say iOS is bad, we can start making things up!"
Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Lin Chen spoke up in response.
"Because Android is free, and iOS is not publicly available, I have no choice."
Silence. Deathly silence. The reporters were speechless. How do you always manage to find such down-to-earth angles to answer questions?
After answering the three questions, Lin Chen smiled and spoke to the reporters present.
"Alright, fellow reporters, we have answered all three questions. Please leave in an orderly manner to avoid a stampede."
After saying that, Lin Chen turned around and prepared to go back to his office.
The reporters at the scene were very dissatisfied. This Mr. Lin was too cunning. How were they going to write a news report after this answer?
So one of the reporters couldn't help but shout it out.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you visited Steve Jobs before. Does Xiaomi phone have any design inspiration from Apple?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's expression darkened. He stopped and turned to look at the reporter who had asked the question.
The reporters at the scene all turned to look at him, thinking to themselves, "What a daring guy! He dares to ask such a question!"
However, they still quietly took out their notebooks, waiting for Lin Chen to answer the question. No matter how Lin Chen answered, they would have something to write down.
Lin Chen looked at the reporter and asked.
Which media outlet are you from?
The reporter swallowed hard and replied.
"Guangming Daily"
"Okay, don't leave here now. I'm calling the police. Please explain to Uncle Hat where you found out about my whereabouts and whether it was legal or not. Also, the legal department of Xingchen Group will sue you and your newspaper for spreading rumors. Be prepared."
The reporter was taken aback, then shouted.
"Mr. Lin, you can't do this! I was just asking a question casually."
Lin Chen cleared his throat and said.
"You have the right to remain silent now. Everything you say next could be used as evidence in court. Don't worry, we have surveillance cameras here, so we won't wrong you."
