"I still don't think this plan is very feasible. Ever since our company was founded, we've always branded ourselves as independent and high-end. If we suddenly turn around and become a distributor, some of our current users will probably react badly."
At that moment, another executive spoke up.
"All right, let's leave it there for now. I already have an idea. I believe this may actually be an opportunity for us."
Steve spoke with a firm look in his eyes.
And after hearing the boss put it that way, the executives stopped pressing the matter and simply adjourned the meeting.
Similar discussions were taking place all across the country and across every industry at the same time.
After all, now that the computer market had already reached saturation, phones were the next move every manufacturer wanted to make, or had already begun to make. But now that Pioneer Technology had inserted itself into the field, many people found themselves watching, hesitating, and wavering...
Unsure whether they should continue building their own products or abandon what they had and safely become distributors instead.
...
Meanwhile, as time passed, Pioneer Technology's second launch event was proceeding in an orderly fashion, and before anyone knew it, the day of the launch had arrived.
Wednesday.
Under bright and pleasant skies, sunlight slowly spread across the ground.
At that moment, a square in Miami was already packed with countless media outlets and spectators, all gathered there to once again witness the kind of miracle that had happened at the first launch event.
This time, Pioneer Technology's promotional campaign had promised not only a phone unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, one with no buttons at all, but also 3D projection technology that until now had existed only in science fiction.
Because of that, countless people had traveled long distances across multiple cities to come to Miami.
In fact, thanks to Pioneer Technology's launch event alone, the number of outside visitors in the area had clearly surged. Even the local GDP for the year might end up doubling, which left both Senator Kennedy of Florida and the governor smiling from ear to ear.
On the other side, under the eager anticipation of every media outlet, the event officially began.
But this time, many people were disappointed, because the speaker representing the host company was not President Killian.
Instead, it was a tall, elegant, striking female vice president.
As the spotlight came on, Lisa stepped out in formal attire under the astonished gaze of the entire audience.
At that moment, seated before her were representatives from dozens of related companies and news organizations, while outside the venue, tens of thousands of visitors had come specifically to watch.
Even for someone as battle-tested as Lisa, she could not help feeling a trace of nervousness.
"Welcome to all the leaders from every sector, corporate representatives, media reporters, and fans who support Pioneer Technology."
"My name is Lisa. I am the primary executive responsible for Pioneer Technology's external communications and also the company's vice president."
"Here, I would first like to thank our chairman, Mr. Killian, for giving me this opportunity, allowing me to represent Pioneer Technology and stand here before all of you, to welcome you, and to thank everyone for your trust in us, for traveling from so far away to personally attend Pioneer Technology's very first launch event."
After more than a month of training in the sales department, Lisa now spoke with a clear voice, smiling at every person in front of her as she addressed them in an organized and composed manner.
"At this launch event, we will be introducing the core features and key functions of our major product line."
"Second, in order to thank everyone here for supporting Pioneer Technology by attending in person..."
"We have decided to offer a special benefit to everyone on site. Pioneer Technology will provide ten thousand Pioneer smartphones in stock, available for purchase at a twenty percent discount."
"Trust me, the price will be far lower than through any other channel, and it will absolutely feel worth every penny."
As soon as Lisa finished announcing the special offer, the crowd erupted into another wave of cheers.
After all, aside from wanting to watch Pioneer Technology's launch event, many of them had come in hopes of buying a phone directly from the company, and now there was even a twenty percent discount on top of that. It was a genuine bonus.
"Now then, I won't waste any more time. Let me introduce our first product."
After saying that with a smile, Lisa brought her hands together in a clap.
In an instant, everyone felt the scenery around them suddenly change. Without warning, they were no longer standing in the square. It was as if they had arrived in a city in the sky.
All around them stood magnificent ancient buildings, mythical structures that had seemed as though they could only exist in legends.
And those near the edge of the square could even see the edge of the floating city itself, with clouds flowing past in the wind, and far below them, the real earth beneath their feet.
That sudden transformation immediately threw the entire venue into commotion.
"As you can all see, you are now standing inside the environment of the Sky City created by Pioneer Technology's first product at this launch event, our 3D holographic projection system."
"Although it appears that you are now standing in the Sky City, you are in fact still on the original ground beneath your feet, so please do not panic."
"You can slowly take in the images and scenery around you and experience them for yourselves."
But as Lisa's voice rang out, the crowd gradually calmed down.
"Wow! It's real! This is incredible."
"I can still feel my feet on the ground, but my eyes are telling me I'm already standing up in the sky."
"Oh my God, is this the legendary Sky City? It's so beautiful."
"My God, I wish I could live here."
...
Following Lisa's guidance, the people on site began immersing themselves in the scenery created by the 3D holographic projection.
At that moment, every single person was staring at everything around them with the naked eye, trying to spot even the slightest flaw or inconsistency.
But just as they feared, it was too perfect. If not for the fact that they could not physically touch anything, they might have believed they had truly been transported into the sky.
And that scene was also being broadcast live from the venue to audiences around the world.
After seeing it, every viewer watching remotely felt both awe and envy, while also hating themselves for not making up their minds sooner and coming in person.
They had missed a chance to witness legendary architecture up close.
"Next, the Parthenon... Mount Olympus... the Garden of Eden... the Fairy Tale World..."
As one mythical setting after another appeared, the crowd felt a level of spiritual and emotional satisfaction unlike anything they had ever experienced before.
