Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

He Dingyou was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun with great interest.

”There’s no need for that. Harmony breeds wealth,” Chen Yansen quickly interjected, looking at the two ”Human Dao Fire Makers.”

”Sure, but I’m afraid you’ll back out when you lose,” Zhou Hongyi said with a chuckle.

”Alright, that’s enough,” Chen Yansen warned, his face cold.

Seeing Chen Yansen’s stern expression, Zhou Hongyi immediately realized he had gone too far and said resentfully, ”Just kidding, President Chen. Don’t take it seriously.”

Lei Yijun’s eyes narrowed. He shot a cold glance at Zhou Hongyi before taking Li Wanqiang to a seat in the front left area of the hall.

He Dingyou was secretly astonished. Only now did he personally feel the extent of Chen Yansen’s influence in the mobile phone industry.

’Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun are so obedient, like a couple of underlings.’

Before long, representatives from rival companies like Yu Chendong from Huawei, Chen Yongming from OPPO, and Shen Wei from VIVO, as well as a crowd of supplier representatives, also arrived one after another.

As soon as it struck two o’clock, Wang Teng jogged onto the stage.

Unlike the previous chip launch events, Wang Teng was not dressed in a sharp suit this time. His attire today was extremely simple.

He was wearing a printed orange T-shirt with four words on the chest: ”Let technology change life!”

On the bottom, he wore a pair of black straight-leg jeans and a pair of white sneakers, giving him a very ordinary, pedestrian look.

At the same time, the number of online viewers on live streams from Penguin Video, YY, Youku, Sohu, and Sina was skyrocketing.

In just a few dozen seconds, the total number of concurrent viewers across all platforms exceeded 8 million.

The bullet comments were a dense flood!

”Hello everyone, I’m Wang Teng from Orange Technology. First, I’d like to thank the more than one thousand audience members here at the press conference. It’s because of you that Orange Mobile Phone exists today.”

Having been tempered by experience, Wang Teng had long shed the greenness of two years ago. He spoke at a steady pace, his demeanor calm and composed.

He paused for a moment, then continued, ”I’m sure you all know that Orange Mobile Phone achieved a great result in 2012, selling 50 million units. So, I must once again thank our 50 million users worldwide for their support.”

”Today, I will be introducing some new friends and new products. Time is tight and we have a lot to cover, so let’s get straight to the point. We’ll start with the products you’re all most concerned about: the mobile phones.”

”The first new product—the Qingcheng D2!”

As soon as Wang Teng’s voice faded, a high-definition CG image of the Qingcheng D2 appeared on the LED screen array behind him.

”Continuing the superb cost-effectiveness of its predecessor, the Qingcheng D1S, the Qingcheng D2 is equipped with a 5-inch IPS Retina display, 1280x720 resolution, and Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

It has a 3-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2000mAh battery, dual-SIM dual-standby, and runs on the Aurora OS 1.6 system.”

”It has 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and supports facial recognition. It’s powered by a MediaTek MT6572 dual-core 1.3GHz processor and supports a gravity sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, gyroscope, and electronic compass.”

Wang Teng stood on stage, slowly making his presentation.

But the bullet comments in the live stream chat were a uniform flood of ”999”!

Everyone was hoping that the Qingcheng D2’s price would remain at the affordable level of 999 Hua Yuan.

Facing the camera, Wang Teng slowly pulled out an Orange C3 mobile phone. He watched the bullet comments for about ten seconds, then said with a smile, ”Everyone wants a price of 999 Hua Yuan, but that’s impossible.”

The moment he said this, the live stream chat erupted with curses.

”Son of a bitch, if you dare sell it for over 1000 yuan, I’ll smash your head in!”

”Ah, Wang Teng, the love is gone after all. Trying to earn your daddy’s money? No way!”

”999!”

”999!”

”If it’s not 999, I’m definitely not buying!”

The invited fans in the audience also frowned, feeling that Orange Technology’s original mission had changed.

In their eyes, the Qingcheng series was Orange Technology’s low-end model line. Selling it for over 1,000 Hua Yuan would be going too far.

However, some users felt that a price between 1,200 and 1,500 Hua Yuan would be reasonable for the Qingcheng D2’s specs.
