Chapter 248 [Bafang] Press Conference
"Thank you all for coming to this press conference."
"The audience in the live broadcast room is also welcome to attend our press conference online."
Kong Xinsheng held a microphone and welcomed the online and offline audience.
In the last start-up, he held such press conferences many times, many of which were much larger than this one.
He already had a lot of experience, and now he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, standing upright with a confident expression on his face.
But he didn't start talking about the product right away, but began to recall his previous entrepreneurial journey, and started his business with full confidence in technology.
At that time, he longed to help the countless disabled people in Daxia, especially the disabled veterans who were left behind by the war.
Even when the funds were not sufficient, it insisted on providing half-price prosthetics for veterans who were disabled due to war.
Considering the high cost of technology and materials at that time, half price is basically equivalent to subsidizing money for charity.
If it weren't for the fact that many elderly people are unwilling to undergo surgery and have electrodes implanted in their bodies, he might have gone bankrupt long ago, and the ending would not be such an understatement as "dismal end".
But when it comes to this passage, Kong Xinsheng has no regrets, he just laughs at himself because he was too young at the time and didn't think well.
Regarding the experience of studying abroad after the failure of starting a business, Kong Xinsheng hastily mentioned it.
Only a simple summary is left: disappointment.
He went to America and several relatively peaceful and developed countries in Europe, hoping to find better technology.
But it's a pity that America's skills are not significantly different from Da Xia's, but more radical.
And his previous failed entrepreneurial experience told him: Radical plans are not popular in Daxia.
As for Europe, the history of hundreds of years of war has deeply rooted the hatred among countless countries. At a time when the world is basically peaceful, there are still frequent frictions and even local conflicts in many countries.
In this context, the technology is even a little behind America and Daxia.
He felt that he had wasted a lot of energy for nothing, and he came back disappointed.
But after returning to China, he did not give up. With his excellent technology and experience of traveling to many countries, he successfully joined a first-class research institute, continued to concentrate on improving his technical ability, and wanted to start his own business again.
It's just that as time passed, his confidence was also worn down a little bit, and he even gradually became a little desperate.
The reason is simple - can technological breakthroughs be achieved overnight?
Until that day when he came home from get off work exhausted, sat in the car and didn’t want to go upstairs, turned on his mobile phone habitually, and was surprised to see that all the news were discussing the same person—Lin You.
And Lin You's amazing invention-virtual reality technology!
His first reaction after seeing it was - this is impossible! Fake!
But the faint hope in his heart supported him, and he started the ignition without saying a word, and went straight to Lin You's residence all the way!
That day outside Lin You's rental community, among the dark crowd, there was actually Kong Xinsheng!
Lin You who was sitting in the audience was also very surprised, this was the first time he knew about this.
It's just a pity that he was directly taken away by Lu Wei and He Peng that night, so Kong Xinsheng naturally failed to meet him.
Later, for Kong Xinsheng, Lin Youren disappeared, only bubbling on the Internet.
During that time, like countless investors, he was frantically looking for Lin You, and like countless investors, he returned disappointed again and again. Seeing Lin You's net worth soared in a short period of time, he had no choice but to give up.
Day by day returns to normal, and hope fades away day by day.
"But at this moment, I received a call." Kong Xinsheng said.
Speaking of which, whether it was the reporters and audience who couldn't help yawning, or the sparse audience in the live broadcast room, they all felt refreshed!
It finally feels like the big one is coming!
Although Kong Xinsheng spoke briefly enough, everyone in the audience was not interested in his mental journey.
He is not considered a successful person, but a failed entrepreneur. Who would be really interested in his mental journey and failure experience, except Lin You who likes to "collect" idealists?
But Kong Xinsheng laid the groundwork for so long, full of failures, disappointments, setbacks, all the way down, and now it is obviously a turning point, everyone is still aroused curiosity.
Kong Xinsheng is also well versed in storytelling skills, and after arousing the audience's curiosity, he simply and neatly released the answer——
"I received a call from Yunmeng."
All the audience woke up instantly and looked up at him.
"From Lin You himself."
As soon as this sentence came out, the number of people in the live broadcast room, which originally only had a few hundred people, suddenly started to skyrocket!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the number of people was already thousands, then three thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand!
The scene was like thunder on the ground, and the originally quiet auditorium was instantly filled with chirping discussions.
Everyone was whispering to each other, and the reporters were inexplicably shocked, even ecstatic in their hearts, their hands holding the cameras were shaking with excitement!
There is no doubt that big news has been caught!
The two reporters in front of Lin You were also very excited, and quickly exchanged in low voices: "Is it really Yunmeng?!"
"Kong Xinsheng got Yunmeng's technology? Isn't it certain that he will succeed this time?"
"It's about time!"
"Yeah, good luck." Both reporters were envious.
Lin You didn't quite agree with this statement, how could this be luck?
If it weren't for Kong Xinsheng's previous entrepreneurial experience and technical background, Lin You would not have fallen in love with him at a glance.
This was not luck, Kong Xinsheng was only short of a chance, and Lin You happened to need such a person, so the chance naturally fell on him.
After Kong Xinsheng on the stage whetted everyone's appetite, he stopped telling stories and started showing products while the iron was hot.
"Journey Series! The first assistive device for vision and hearing impairments—【Bafang】!"
"It means: look at the six directions with your eyes, and listen to all directions with your ears!"
The PPT screen finally switched, and a silver-white headband appeared on the screen.
When the audience saw the silver-white headband, they were immediately sure - this was definitely Yunmeng's technique!
The influence of virtual reality equipment has reached the point where everyone will immediately think of Yunmeng when they see the silver-white headband.
After Kong Xinsheng introduced the equipment, he took out the actual product and showed it to everyone.
"We invited two deaf-blind patients to the press conference."
Following Kong Xinsheng's words, an adult woman came to the stage led by the staff, and another little boy who looked only five or six years old came on stage led by his mother.
Kong Xinsheng introduced one by one to everyone: "This lady was blind from birth and deaf due to an accident the day after tomorrow. She has been suffering from deafness and blindness for five full years."
"This child is congenitally deaf-blind. He has been unable to see or hear since he was born."
"Now, we're going to try it out for them in the field."
After speaking, Kong Xinsheng took the headband from the staff and helped the little boy put it on, while the staff put it on for the adult woman.
This process is really simple, without any complicated operations, just pick up the headband, put it on the user, and then start it.
In addition to the process of connecting the nerve modem to the new nerve account, it took no more than eight seconds before and after, and the facial expressions of the two deaf-blind patients changed immediately!
From quiet and numb, to surprise and joy, the excitement is beyond words.
The changes between the two are faithfully reflected in the screen, and all viewers can clearly see them, and feel their excitement and joy through their vivid expressions.
The adult woman looked around, looked at the audience in the hall, the surrounding lights and Kong Xinsheng's face, full of surprises of lost and found, but shed tears in an instant.
The little boy turned his head away in fear and threw himself into his mother's arms, but he couldn't help raising his head and staring closely at his mother's face.
When his mother patted him on the back and comforted him in a low voice, his eyes widened in surprise!
"Ka Ka Ka!" The sound of the shutter kept ringing, and all the audience watched this scene with inexplicable excitement.
On the day when Lin You took out the virtual reality equipment, someone guessed that this technology was used in the scene before him. Now two and a half months later, this technology has really been realized!
Even though it has been discussed many times, but seeing it with my own eyes now, the degree of shock has not diminished in the slightest!
Kong Xinsheng was not in a hurry, and with the help of the child's mother, he calmed down the little boy and helped him make detailed adjustments.
As the adult woman is acquired deaf, her language ability is fine. The staff can communicate directly and make detailed adjustments to the equipment for her.
The audience was excited, but they tried their best to restrain themselves and patiently waited for Kong Xinsheng to complete the final adjustment.
But after the equipment adjustment was completed, Kong Xinsheng did not continue to point the camera at the two users as they expected, but sent them off the stage.
Not only did the little boy leave the stage with his mother, but even the adult woman who had no barriers to communication was also sent off the stage.
Kong Xinsheng and Lin You have a consensus: we are here to help these disadvantaged disabled people, not to consume their suffering.
So I didn't arrange an interview at all, just trying not to add more trouble to them as much as possible.
Even the names of the two deaf-blind patients have not been publicly disclosed, let alone the certification documents such as disability certificates.
In other words, believe it or not!
If some media don't believe it, it can be said that this is an actor hired by Kong Xinsheng, and his skills are deceiving.
If it's done according to Lin You's intentions, it's just a matter of how many media outlets can't think about it.
It's the same reason - the blacklist hasn't been updated for a long time.
But Kong Xin was not so ambitious. After all, it was the second time to start a business, and he still hoped that the more stable the better, so he insisted on bringing Lin You to the platform.
He believed that as long as Lin You made his appearance on stage, the media would be more cautious when reporting...
The blacklist, as well as the apology letters from the three media outlets, are all on the Internet!
But it's not time for him to play yet.
After Kong Xinsheng invited the two users to step down, he didn't explain much, but said directly: "Next, let's watch a movie together."
After speaking, he retreated to the edge of the projection cloth, and the film started to play. There was no sound in this video, only the picture was playing silently.
A somewhat dilapidated school appeared in the picture.
Different from the usual lively atmosphere in ordinary schools, even during recess, it seemed very quiet here, with no chasing and fighting, and no jubilant crowd.
A line of words quietly emerged——
"Shangbei Special Education School for the Blind, Deaf and Mute in Gansu Province"
A van drove into the gate of the school, with the company's logo painted on it - a holy mountain.
It is exactly the same as the holy mountain in "Journeyman".
