Li Linfei looked around the audience, and said slowly: "After detailed investigation, we finally decided that the final selling price of the client is..."
At the most exciting and tense moment, everyone who loved this product stared nervously at the young man on the stage.
"The global unified price of the client-side perceptual helmet is US$3998!" Li Linfei's voice resounded in the audience, but it was followed by silence, and everyone was in a daze.
"what?"
"$3998? Did I hear wrong? The cost of the client is only $4260, and the selling price is lower than the cost price?"
"No, no, no! You must have heard it wrong, or Ren Da said it wrong! How is this possible? Just think about it with a single hair."
"God, today is not April Fool's Day, is what mr Li Ren said true?"
"Not sure, Jenny! But he did say so, maybe the price was wrong?"
Li Linfei looked at the astonished faces of the audience, smiled slightly, bowed his head in silence for a moment, looked at the audience again, and said, "3998 US dollars, the price is lower than the manufacturing cost, the price is wrong? No! 3998 US dollars, this is The most authoritative quote you've ever heard."
What are you kidding?Doesn't this mean that the more you sell, the more you will lose? Every time Future Technology sells a set of equipment, it directly loses 262 US dollars?
Plus other expenses such as publicity and distribution, my God, am I dreaming? "A spectator at the scene said incredulously.
The audience was still silent, and still hadn't recovered.
This obviously subverted their cognition. Have you ever seen a company dare to play like this?
Is there too much money for future technology and no place to burn it?Li Linfei smiled deeply. This time is obviously an excellent opportunity to set off the company's philosophy. How could he miss this kind of publicity opportunity.
Of course, it is to seize the time to save character, I saw him say this: "Many people may question why we sell at a price lower than the manufacturing cost?
Obviously, Future Technology has never been a profit-oriented technology company. We are committed to becoming a great company. Facebook is eager to connect the world together. Future Technology is eager to change the world and people's way of life. "
"We have made changes in several versions. In order not to affect the basic performance of the equipment, we have invested 90 billion US dollars in research and development just to compress the cost. Our ideal final price for the client is about 2600 US dollars. .”
"But the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel. In the end, we can only achieve a manufacturing cost of US$4260."
"We hope that every future user who loves this product can own it. We know that even if the price is $3998, many people will still be blocked from the door of the 'virtual world'. Even if it is $2600, this is undoubtedly It's frustrating, bad."
"The selling price is lower than the manufacturing cost, not because there will be too much money for future technology, and it is not for grandstanding, but because we have the same desire as future users who love this product - to enter the virtual world."
"This is a kind of determination. We have the same determination as consumers. Future users will work hard to obtain this product, and future technology will also work hard."
"We will still invest more R&D funds in cost reduction in the future. In the new version of the client in the future, we will further reduce costs as the main purpose, so that more people who are blocked from the 'virtual world' can enter Experience unprecedented fun in that magical fantasy world."
The silent scene was instantly covered by applause as Li Linfei stopped speaking. At this moment, Future Technology earned a fortune from hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, and captured the hearts of countless audiences with the image of a conscientious company. The fan value of science and technology has soared.
The applause was unprecedentedly warm. On the circular "t" stage, Li Linfei pressed his hands, and the audience stopped tacitly, but they were still excited. The future technology will not disappoint as always.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
At the end of the double debut, there was a violent vibration on the second day, and the depth and breadth of its influence spread to the global scope without any suspense.
The whole world knows that Future Technology is brewing a super plan, but no one thought that Future Technology has created a world!A world that is enough to crush the current Internet ecology.
virtual reality!This thing that everyone thought would be possible at the end of the 21st century at the earliest, did not expect to become a reality today, which shocked everyone but was caught off guard.
Future Technology announced the "virtual world", and the country that was hit hardest is undoubtedly the United States. At present, the global Internet is actually dominated by Americans.
With the birth of the "virtual world", no one will question its powerful energy. It is only a matter of time before the current Internet is replaced.
What hits the United States hard is that the entire virtual network is a completely independent new ecosystem without any dependence on the current Internet, which means in the future.
When the world's Internet becomes a virtual network, it will be controlled by China, and it all depends on the face of this country.
The fact that the Americans will lose this powerful advantage is the last thing they want to see.
In addition to the U.S. authorities, hardware giants in the United States and even Europe and the United States are also facing a serious crisis. This time, the crisis they are facing is unprecedented.
This time it's an existential crisis. For them, the "virtual world" is like a sickle of death hanging above their heads, which may harvest them at any time.
Because PCs will gradually disappear, if not completely disappear, they will be basically replaced. The stocks of European and American hardware giants such as lg, imb, amd, and Intel plummeted after the "virtual world" was announced.
Among them, Microsoft has also been on a thrilling roller coaster during this period. Some time ago, when the quantum computer was born, Microsoft announced the gratifying progress of the personal operating system in this field, which caused the company's stock to skyrocket, and the stock price soared all the way. , the market value once exceeded 7000 billion U.S. dollars.
But just after Li Linfei announced that human beings had entered the "virtual network era", the wind direction of Microsoft, whose market value was soaring, changed drastically, and the stock price fell in response. , More than 6000 billion U.S. dollars evaporated that day.
The plunge in the market value of Microsoft is just an introduction, and the major hardware giants are also not much better. The global stock market experienced a big shock on this day, and it almost melted down.
The global hardware giants are facing heavy losses and unprecedented crises, but the global Internet giants have not been affected much.
After all, for these companies, the "virtual world" was born, they just need to step up their pace to follow up, and the matter of moving house will not affect the fundamentals.
Even if there is, it will have to wait until after the game in the virtual network era, and before they can compete in the new battlefield, there are still opportunities for these Internet companies.
Typical companies such as Alphabet have only fallen slightly. Generally speaking, Internet companies around the world have signs of decline, but there is no sharp contrast in the curve fluctuations. On the contrary, the market as a whole shows an upward trend, and the instigator is Facebook.
There is no doubt that Facebook, which cooperates with Future Technology, has become the biggest winner among global Internet technology companies. Zuckerberg's bright smile on the day of the press conference is the best portrayal.
Under the wailing of the global stock market and hardware giants, Facebook has become the most eye-catching landscape, supporting the entire market with its own strength and showing an upward trend.
Facebook has become the second company after Saudi Aramco to break through the trillion-dollar market capitalization. Saudi Aramco is an oil company with no comparison, while Facebook is an Internet technology company with a brighter future.
Zuckerberg's smile today is the best response to the strong opposition from the board of directors three years ago, the most typical way of counterattack,
As for future technology, people can no longer figure out what price is suitable for this company. If you want to say, it can only be measured by priceless, because future technology is equal to the future.
The "double debut" has ended, but the influence has just fermented, and the highly anticipated world tour debut has become a foil, there is no suspense.
Through this tour debut, Li Linfei let hundreds of millions of people all over the world know the virtual world at the same time, and the power of this announcement can be called epic level.
On the second day, as the "Double Premiere" came to a perfect conclusion, Li Linfei, as the host, hosted a dinner for the first time to celebrate the complete success of the "Double Premiere".
The people who attended the dinner included the biggest names in the global entertainment and technology circles. All the invitees were present. It was an epic luxury feast. Anyone who appeared in the public eye would be able to have a huge effect.
"I love your new album."
