Chapter 440 Boss Pei’s Psychology
Chang You reluctantly repeated it again at the warm request of everyone. “A really good brand, a really good cell phone…”
This time, the audiences below instantly gave a round of warm applause and cheers when Chang You spoke. There were a few shrill whistles.
“You’re really something!” “Alright!” “Another one!”
“Right, encore, encore! I want to listen to it again!”
The news conference instantly became a crosstalk show.
The bottle of mineral water Pei Qian held was nearly smashed in anger.
What the hell!
I told you to concentrate on the advantages in five minutes, is this how you do it? Huh? And now you really repeated it! Pei Qian was speechless. He could almost see Chang You appearing on hot searches in Weibo…
Someone in the audience was shouting ‘encore’ as though it did not seem to matter if the cell phone was revealed or not. Everyone would be very happy if Vice President Chang just repeated this part of his speech. Chang You smiled apologetically. “Sorry everyone, It was already an exception to repeat it. I have to get on with the program now; if not, I would not be able to answer my boss.”
“The advantages of this cell phone are as mentioned. Next, we are going on to the disadvantages of this cell phone!”
Chang You forcibly started continuing to the next stage without any regard for the audience’s opposition.
The media in the front row took out their cell phones to take photos of the slideshow on the screen, but it was too late. They could only beat themselves up and sigh.
“Did you get it?” “No!”
“It switched over too fast; I only managed to bring out my cell phone!” “What advantage did this cell phone have? I did not notice it since I was too engrossed in the crosstalk just now.”
“Wasn’t the crosstalk talking about the advantages of the cell phone?”
“I did not listen carefully.”
“But you clapped so hard just now?”
“I only felt that Vice President Chang’s speech was pretty neat…”
“He’ll probably reiterate it again later?”
“He might not repeat it again going by the strangeness of the news conference during the previous stages…”
Chang You ignored these noises and continued to follow Boss Pei’s instructions to introduce the shortcomings of this phone.
A huge word appeared on the screen. Expensive! “Our cell phone sells for as high as 8,199 yuan. I’ve made a table of comparison to let everyone better understand what can be bought at this price.”
“This price could get you a mid- to high-end Alienware, a relatively good desktop, a relatively cheap set of air conditioner, refrigerator, and washing machine. You might even be able to buy a secondhand car…”
Various products were listed on the screen. Of course, there were no commercial logos on it, but they could definitely know which brand it was if they were to compare the price. They were not cell phones so he was not comparing different specifications.
Chang You spared no effort in introducing the purpose of these items. For example, a secondhand car could fetch people and things around. Moreover, no one would dare touch it while walking on the road because no one knew if a group of big guys holding newspapers would suddenly jump out after touching it.
He worked very hard to complete the task that Boss Pei gave to him. However, the audience below did not take him seriously. They burst into laughter from time to time.
“What the hell do you mean by no one would dare touch a secondhand car on the road? Vice President Chang, wake up, this is not a party but a news conference!”
“I thought that the crosstalk was over, but it apparently did not?”
“Hahahahahaha, Vice President Chang, what are you trying to emphasize listing home appliances and secondhand cars of the same value? Are you trying to say that you can buy a noble OTTO cell phone for the price of a home appliance or a secondhand van? I understand now, it seems like it’s really worth it then!”
“Strange, I thought it was expensive at first, but why do I not feel that way anymore? 8,000 yuan doesn’t seem to be too much now…”
The ‘expensive’ disadvantage was explained in no time. Chang You began to speak about the ‘heaviness’ advantage.
“Our cell phone weighs 247grams. It is in all literal sense a 250-gram machine! Everyone might not have much of a concept how heavy 247 grams is. It is equivalent to a carton of milk or half a bottle of mineral water… or five eggs!
“If you are a girl, you can use this mobile phone as a self-defense weapon when you travel. If you are a man and are bored at home, you can use this phone as fitness equipment!”
The audience laughed happily. “A weapon for self-defense? Fitness equipment? Isn’t this phone conference too casual?”
“Can’t you just introduce the advantages of your own phone nicely? Why does it feel like a
joke?!”
“Why didn’t I realize earlier just how humorous Vice President Chang is? My stomach is hurting from all that laughing!”
“It’s less than 250 grams with such a big battery? It’s just half a bottle of water. No problem my strong arms can totally hold it!”
“Yeah, I thought this phone would be over 300 grams, but it was only 247 grams, not a big deal!”
“The disadvantage of this mobile phone is that it is expensive and heavy. Isn’t it the whole definition of a valuable item?”
“Say no more, buy! Buy every last one of them!”
Pei Qian sat in the audience, listening to the waves of laughter at the scene. He never felt worse. What’s so funny?!
Chang You was speaking the truth. We told you how expensive and heavy this phone is; how could you laugh out loud?
