Chapter 236 Global Launch Event for the Mobile Phone
After hearing Lin Zhou's words, Su Wanqing immediately followed his train of thought and said:
"Then I'll immediately arrange for the public relations department to liaise with overseas partner organizations."
"We invited representatives from the BBC, Reuters, AP, AFP, as well as mainstream media from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and major e-commerce retailers and operators from Europe and the United States."
"You decide on the invitation list, make sure it's top-notch," Lin Zhou happily instructed.
"In addition, I will personally handle the entire press conference process, demonstration, and product explanation."
Upon hearing the news, Mr. Zhou, the head of the R&D department, rushed over and couldn't help but say:
"Lin Zhou, you want to go on stage yourself? That's perfect! Your words are more effective than ten of ours!"
"When we demonstrate the phone's functions—making calls, sending messages, signal strength—who wouldn't be tempted?"
Lin Zhou smiled and picked up the Zhonghua engineering machine on the table.
With its candybar design, compact and lightweight construction, clear screen, and crisp button feedback, it feels almost weightless to hold.
In an era when bulky and expensive mobile phones are commonplace, a portable phone like this is enough to cause a sensation.
Chen Dongsheng became more and more excited as he thought about it:
"President Lin, once the press conference is held, the whole world will know that China also has its own groundbreaking, top-tier high-tech product! Orders will definitely pour in!"
Lin Zhou waved his hand, remaining calm:
"Don't get carried away. Before the press conference, production will continue to ramp up to ensure sufficient inventory."
"The patent team is closely monitoring the process to prevent malicious registration."
"Also, media relations must be in place to create momentum. Every step must be flawless."
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
Chen Dongsheng, Zhou Gong, and the others dispersed and began their busy preparations for the press conference.
Su Wanqing also began to notify the media, set up the venue, debug equipment, prepare the demonstration machine, and sort out the script... Every task was being carried out in an orderly manner.
The Ministry of Justice continues to monitor the global patent status to ensure that every application proceeds smoothly.
The production department is operating at full capacity for trial production, continuously improving the yield rate and output.
The public relations department frequently liaised with domestic and international media to confirm the attendance list and release information about the press conference.
In just a few days, rumors have begun to circulate in the industry that a company called Zhonghua will release a revolutionary portable handheld phone in China.
They all thought that this newly released portable handheld phone was the original "Big Brother" phone, a knock-off of the "Big Brother" phone by Zhonghua Group.
When they come and confirm that it's a counterfeit product, it will be a good opportunity to damage Zhonghua Group's international influence.
Countless media outlets eagerly awaited the news, and numerous distributors secretly inquired about it; the entire electronics and communications industry was on edge.
In his office, Lin Zhou looked at the latest media invitation confirmation slip, which showed that all the top international media outlets, including Reuters, BBC, and Associated Press, had confirmed their attendance.
Major overseas electronics retail chains and telecommunications operators also responded by sending representatives to participate.
However, Lin Zhou didn't care whether they planned to send some insignificant people or famous reporters; as long as their people came, that was fine.
He put down the list, picked up a Zhonghua mobile phone (the final mass-produced version), and the screen lit up, revealing a simple and clear black-and-white interface.
Everything is ready.
The unveiling will be revealed on the day of the press conference, shocking the world.
A month passed quickly.
On the day of the press conference, the grand conference hall of a luxury hotel in Hong Kong was decorated in a solemn and grand manner, with a prominent banner reading "Zhonghua Group New Product Launch" hanging high.
Security guards and hostesses at the entrance guided the media reporters, distributors, and industry professionals from all over the world as they filed in.
Many people walked along, whispering to each other, their faces full of curiosity and anticipation.
"I never expected that a Chinese company would dare to hold such a large-scale global launch event."
"I heard they're going to release their own mobile phone. I don't know what they're thinking? Don't they know that this requires a patent license?"
"Let's wait and see. These days, it's rare to see someone dare to challenge international giants."
Staff members politely guided everyone to their seats. On the huge screen at the front of the venue, introductions of Zhonghua Group's subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Luohu Industrial Park were played in a loop, concise, powerful, and impressive.
Su Wanqing stood on the side of the backstage, holding a process sheet in her hand, constantly confirming the final details with the heads of various positions, her voice crisp and clear.
"The lighting team should double-check the countdown transition."
"This is the final sound system test to ensure there is no delay during the global live broadcast."
"Check the media area, translation channel, and overseas live broadcast signal one last time."
Chen Man strode over, her face showing a mixture of excitement and tension:
"President Su, everyone's here! A total of 69 media outlets from home and abroad, including major distributors from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia—almost all are present, and the venue is packed!"
Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: from research and development to production lines and patent layout, the results will finally be revealed today.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Man gently shook her head:
"Following President Lin and President Su, what tough battles haven't we fought? We'll definitely win this one!"
As the two were talking, Lin Zhou, dressed in a simple and appropriate outfit, walked backstage. He looked calm and showed no signs of nervousness.
Su Wanqing immediately stepped forward: "A-Zhou, everything is ready, we can start at any time."
Lin Zhou nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the stage, his voice steady:
"Everyone has worked hard these past few days, just do your best today."
Engineer Zhou leaned closer, lowered his voice, and couldn't hide his excitement:
"Lin Zhou, I've checked the prototype three times already. All functions, signal strength, and battery life are normal; there's absolutely no problem!"
Lin Zhou patted him on the shoulder: "Engineer Zhou, don't worry, this is something we made together."
A slight ripple stirred within him.
From the first prototype lighting up the screen at the R&D center to setting up the production line and registering 47 global patents.
From today's global press conference to this event, every step has been taken solidly and correctly according to plan.
The world's attention is on the audience, and what he needs to do is to present Zhonghua mobile phones to everyone in a dignified and respectable manner.
As the countdown ended, the venue lights dimmed, and spotlights shone precisely on the center of the stage.
The host's voice rang out loudly: "Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Mr. Lin Zhou, the founder of Zhonghua Group!"
The audience erupted in applause.
Lin Zhou walked steadily onto the stage, stood in front of the microphone, and calmly swept his gaze across the entire audience. His demeanor was composed and he showed no stage fright whatsoever.
He didn't waste time with pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"Welcome to the global new product launch of Zhonghua Group, friends from all over the world."
"Today, I would like to introduce to you a product that was independently developed, designed and manufactured by our Zhonghua Group – the Zhonghua mobile phone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen behind him lit up instantly.
High-resolution images of the front, side, and back of the Zhonghua mobile phone are clearly visible, showcasing its simple and sleek candybar design.
With its narrow bezels and compact body, it instantly caught everyone's attention.
A cacophony of gasps immediately erupted from the audience.
