Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 317: The underachiever counterattack diary 314 (12) second update
Chapter 317: The underachiever counterattack diary 314 (12) second update
Due to the hype from previous news, the E-brand phone, a collaboration between the Ye Family and Ning Family, attracted a lot of attention.
Most people didn’t want to waste their money on it.
Moreover, its price was lower than that of Juzi phones, leading people to assume its performance wouldn’t be as good as Juzi’s.
Spending over four thousand yuan on a domestic phone seemed foolish when they could add a few thousand more and buy a Juzi phone instead.
On the first day, sales were a pitiful two hundred thirty units.
However, Ye Shaohua and Ning Tao clearly weren’t in a hurry.
Ya Mingming was among those who bought the phone.
Unlike the rest, he bought it mainly because of Ye Shaohua.
He was a student at the School, and he previously held prejudices against Shaohua—his father had jumped to his death because of stocks.
Although he had cursed Shaohua many times, he knew that his father had been a stock investor himself, and his suicide wasn’t solely due to the Ye Family’s stocks plummeting but also other stocks and bond issues.
After his father died, people from the Ye Family even found his mother a stable, well-paying job.
That’s why he bought an E-brand phone on the first day it was released.
The phone cost him over four thousand yuan, which wasn’t a small amount for him. His old phone was so laggy it was practically unusable. He had intended to buy a Juzi phone but ended up, for some reason, buying the E-brand phone instead.
The phone’s manual came in both Chinese and English versions.
Ya Mingming glanced at it and couldn’t help muttering, "Do they really think foreigners will buy this phone when its performance isn’t as good as Juzi’s...?"
Since it was a local express delivery, the phone arrived in the afternoon.
Upon receiving the phone, he excitedly began to unbox it.
After pressing the power button, he suddenly realized the boot-up speed was quite fast. His previous phone, another domestic brand, had been slow to start, and only with this comparison did he realize how fast the E-brand phone was.
After booting up, the phone’s interface was very simple.
He looked around briefly and eventually discovered a holographic projection feature on the main page.
"Holographic projection?" Ya Mingming was stunned. What kind of feature was this?
He had only seen such technology in science fiction novels and movies, where most effects were computer-generated, far from reality.
Ya Mingming clicked into it, finding the content complex.
He was a person of intense curiosity.
At the School, he had even participated in the Math Olympiad and had a good understanding of mathematics and spatial concepts.
Once he saw the formulas on the homepage, he knew they weren’t something developers made just for fun.
With this in mind, he immediately retrieved the discarded manual from the trash bin, located the holographic projection section, and began delving into it.
This was the first time he had ever bothered to read the manual after buying a phone.
Most phones on the market were quite similar, and hardly anyone ever read the manual after purchasing one.
After reading the first step, he opened the software to explore its contents. freewebnσvel.cøm
He then rapidly flipped through the following instructions, which were clearly explained in the manual, including how to use the software to contact others, projecting their image directly to his location.
This shocked Ya Mingming, but the manual wouldn’t lie, would it?
He could only take out a potato and test it according to the instructions.
When he saw the potato actually projected onto his desk, Ya Mingming was more than surprised; he reached out to touch it, and the projection was just like the real thing, showing every detail perfectly.
If it weren’t for his hand passing right through the projected potato, he would never have believed it was fake!
He then brought over books, vegetables, and so forth...
Truly for the first time, he felt such novelty towards something.
He could imagine the surprise if this technology were used on living things, how it could revolutionize videos and movies.
With that thought, he decided to contact a friend to try a holographic call.
But almost none of his friends had purchased the phone yet.
All he could do was call up his best friend, "Quickly go to the Official Website and buy a phone, yes, the E-brand phone! I’m telling you, it really has holographic calling! It’s no joke! Go buy it now, and it’ll arrive by tomorrow morning, or else there won’t be any phones left to buy!"
His friend was curious about the sudden recommendation, even though he didn’t need a new phone and was somewhat skeptical about Ya Mingming’s claim of holographic projection.
But driven by intense curiosity, he placed an order too.
Meanwhile, Ya Mingming immediately went on his social media account with his old phone and took a photo of the new phone’s projection.
Most of his social media followers were his School classmates.
Seeing Ya Mingming actually recommending the Ye Family’s smartphone, many people were very surprised, "This picture isn’t Photoshopped by you, right? Let alone whether holographic projection is available now, even the holographic projections in movies are blurry. How can it be so clear?"
Ya Mingming immediately replied to that classmate, "I’m not lying to you! It’s true, hurry up and buy it. I heard that they’re only releasing ten thousand for the first batch. If you miss this chance, you’ll have to wait a whole month before you can get one!"
That classmate didn’t believe Ya Mingming’s words and didn’t buy it.
Over four thousand yuan, plus a few thousand more, might as well buy a Juzi smartphone instead.
Ya Mingming didn’t bother with him, just kept scrolling through the content online.
Because he knew this smartphone was definitely going to blow up.
His was one of the first batch delivered quickly within the same city, probably among the earliest. By the time this search trend picked up, it would be nighttime already.
Sure enough, by evening, an influencer started a live stream.
"First off, let me clarify that I haven’t received any advertising fees from the Ye Family. I’m a hater of the Ye Family, and I bought this smartphone just to file a complaint with the Consumer Association," the female streamer switched on the phone, "Take a look, holographic projection. The advertisement for this phone is so fake."
However, to prove how fake the Ye Family was, she made a point of reading out the manual.
[233 This is the first time I’ve seen someone read a smartphone manual!]
[+1 to the above, but the Ye Family is about to be done for. Why does my Ning Family have to get mixed up with this bad apple?]
Not many on the barrage were chatting, but all were casually talking.
Most of them didn’t believe it.
"Okay, I’ve finished reading the manual. Now, I’ll take out an apple," the female streamer took out a big red apple and placed it on the table, "Dear audience, watch closely, and remember to call the Consumer Association for me, get ready to file a complaint."
"Holographic projection?" the streamer joked with a laugh, "They think... holy shit!"
This streamer was always known for being a lady from a learned family; viewers watching her had almost never heard her swear.
Now, seeing that both the apple in her hand and her hand itself were projected onto the table, she really couldn’t hold back!
[Damn!]
[I screamed and scared my cat!]
[Holy shit, if the streamer hadn’t touched the holographic projection with her other hand, I would’ve thought that apple was real!]
[Does this mean there’s hope for my holographic game?!]
[Streamer, project your pet cat. If it works, I’ll tip you a submarine.]
A submarine was worth ten thousand yuan; even after splitting the earnings, the streamer could pocket two thousand. Almost without hesitation, she brought over her beloved pet.
She placed it in position for the smartphone’s holographic projection.
The next second, Mimi saw another cat that looked exactly like it!
At that moment, countless hidden big spenders started to get interested, bringing almost everything they could see in the streamer’s house to be projected.
That night, the streamer with just over a hundred thousand followers instantly became a sensation!
On an ordinary day after a livestream, she’d get around ten thousand views, but tonight her stream reached 12.7 million views!
And her followers, from around a hundred thousand, skyrocketed to 1.89 million!
The number of followers continued to rise at a visibly rapid rate.
Going by this trend, after tonight she could go from being a nobody to having the popularity of a first-line streamer on the livestreaming platform!
After ending the livestream, the internet celebrity immediately went to the Official Website of an E-brand smartphone to give her review—[The E-brand smartphone really is the most advanced tech on the market. I’m a true believer now, thank you, E-brand smartphones, thank you, Ye Family, thank you, Ning Family! You helped me gain millions of followers and become a first-line streamer! From now on, I’ll be a loyal fan of the E-brand, always promoting your new products for free!]
After typing and posting her delighted message, she saw that there were already over a hundred five-star reviews.
Most of them, like her, wrote lengthy, glowing evaluations.
Checking the comments, she found that several other influencers, like her, had gone viral from just one video, with the least increase being over a hundred thousand followers.
On the sales platform, it was found that the remaining nine thousand plus E-smartphones were snapped up overnight.
No ads were purchased; they shot straight to the top three on the sales rankings chart.
"What, many consumers are calling to ask if there are any E-smartphones left in stock?"
"Hurry, call the Ye Family," a domestic sales platform had given face to the Ye Family by setting up an official purchasing platform for them. Now, seizing this moment of hype, striking while the iron was hot was best, "It’s okay if there’s no stock, we can do pre-sales, ship out next month. Quick, hang it up."
Ye Shaohua was discussing with the technicians and received calls of good news from Ning Tao, Ye Chen, and the senior management of both the Ye Family and Ning Family.
The Ye Family’s senior management, who had been skeptical of her before, finally confirmed at this moment that she truly was Y.
At the same time, Gao Heng’s phone also arrived, but he didn’t even look at the phone; instead, he immediately contacted Mr. Dai Si.
"Mr. Dai Si, didn’t you recall the rights to the E-smartphone? Now, does Ning Family’s association with the Ye Family count as an infringement?"
