CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 274: PUBLIC OPINION GUIDANCE

Jiang Cheng said calmly, "In that case, let’s do a check on every part of the phone, publish the inspection forms to the public, and inform the masses that those explosion rumors are completely fabricated."

"Oh, right, I recently seemed to have won some kind of Turing Award for the ’Elf’ system. Remember to mention it during the press conference, and also, the Elf System needs to be upgraded. The next version will showcase the system’s intelligence."

"Hmm, that’s it. Lastly, we’ll launch a low-end version of the Transparent Phone soon. Since those people want to trip us up, we don’t need to care about their fate."

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Zhang Manlin nodded and said, "Hmm, I understand your intention, Chairman Jiang. I’ll go and make preparations immediately."

After speaking, Zhang Manlin promptly left the room to prepare for the press conference.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng sat alone in the room and smiled, recalling that before the release of the Transparent Phone, there were already so-called peers wanting to mess with him, and now they’re at it again. He won’t bother with their fates.

In his mind, he already had a way to deal with these so-called peers.

Zhang Manlin’s work efficiency was quite high.

In just a single day, she had prepared all the arrangements for the press conference, ready to clarify the fact that the Transparent Phone wouldn’t explode!

At once, a clamor erupted online, remembering how a certain LG phone also exploded before.

Attempts were made to clarify, but ultimately ended in failure.

This time with the Transparent Phone explosion rumor, what kind of statement will Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company give?

Nobody knows; everyone is anticipating!

Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company has set the press conference regarding the Transparent Phone explosion for tomorrow, inviting major media and TV station reporters.

Meanwhile, the CEOs and presidents of major companies owning those phone manufacturers couldn’t calm down.

They have orchestrated such a big move together and don’t want Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company to turn the tables, so the internet trolls they hired started acting on major forums!

"We don’t want explanations; are those dead and injured, those reports all fake? We just want an apology!"

"What’s the use of a press conference! Actions speak louder than words; if you make a mistake, you must take responsibility and give an explanation to us consumers.

"I never want to buy any product from Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company in this lifetime; it’s truly terrifying. Have the injured received any compensation? They believed in Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, so they bought their products."

"Sold a kidney to buy the Transparent Phone, and it exploded. What more can I say to such a heartless merchant?"

A myriad of derogatory remarks against Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company once again appeared like a tide online.

Journalists from major media outlets were also writing articles, ready to ride the heat before the Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s press conference.

"Concept phone comes true, but explosion time happens; is it a blessing or a curse?"

"Should phone manufacturers that shirk safety responsibilities really continue producing phones?"

"Explosion incidents happening repeatedly; where is the future of domestic phones."

A variety of reports appeared before the public, and time passed quickly; the day of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s press conference finally arrived.

On this day, in a certain grand theater, people were as numerous as waves.

Zhang Manlin stood on stage, looking at the media workers expecting to see a joke, her lips curving into a slight smile.

Regarding the Transparent Phone explosion topic, everyone knew about the recent related reports!

Most criticism of the Transparent Phone stemmed from its supposed lack of safety.

Imagine, blindly pursuing innovation and profit by selling phones, yet the phone’s safety is this concerning. How can people be at ease?

Major TV stations, major portal sites, and major media... Recently, they’ve been condemning Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, even though the Transparent Phone hasn’t truly exploded. Yet, in the public’s eyes, it indeed exploded and is unsafe!

Now, the Transparent Phone’s sales are unknown multiples lower than before because of the explosion incident, and Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company hasn’t counted how much it lost either!

Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, press conference!

The grand theater was packed, a sea of people! A glance around showed nothing but crowded heads.

At this moment, Zhang Manlin stood on stage, gazing at the numerous media outlets below, yet didn’t feel the slightest panic. Under Jiang Cheng’s guidance, she was full of confidence for this press conference!

Last night, she had a phone conversation with Jiang Cheng, who also gave her some materials. This time, she would deliver a bombshell to the media.

Before the press conference officially began, everyone was discussing what kind of response Zhang Manlin would give to the media.

After all, the Transparent Phone explosion rumor is currently the hottest keyword online, something everyone is paying attention to!

Time quietly slipped away, and soon, it was time for the press conference to start; it was now two in the afternoon.

The press conference was being simultaneously streamed on major live platforms, with an enormous number of viewers, counting in the millions.

At this moment on-site at the grand theater, countless media cameras, flashing lights, etc., were directed at Zhang Manlin on stage, who exuded a unique aura from years of business battles.

Under the spotlights, Zhang Manlin’s expression was very calm, but her lips seemed to carry a faint smile.

Lights not far from the stage started adjusting, and Zhang Manlin, looking at a certain camera position, began to speak.

"Ahem...ahem..." Zhang Manlin cleared her throat and said to the media, "Welcome to our Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s press conference. I will be hosting this conference and will provide a detailed explanation of this matter to everyone."

Zhang Manlin was the only one on stage; many in the media or those watching the live stream were searching for Jiang Cheng’s presence, only to be disappointed as Jiang Cheng was not present.

Currently, Jiang Cheng was busy with other things. The Transparent Phone explosion incident seemed to him like a trivial matter. He trusted Zhang Manlin’s ability, so he only instructed her on a few things and didn’t attend.

"Recently, a lot of opinions have surfaced online, and some TV stations or media have even reported on this issue. I believe it’s not unfamiliar to everyone." Zhang Manlin looked at the camera, a trace of a smile appearing on her beautiful face, and continued, "That’s the Transparent Phone explosion incident. Unfortunately, our chairman, Jiang Cheng, didn’t consider it a big issue, so he’s not present.
