"Hello, my question is about the presentation from earlier. I wanted to ask about some of the technologies shown in the video, things like self-driving vehicles, remote control systems, and unmanned medical pods. Are those all technologies your company plans to develop in the future?"
This time, the person asking was a noticeably seasoned reporter. He had realized that many of the future technologies shown in the video had been presented with highly mature concepts. If a company did not already have ideas in those directions, it would have been very difficult to produce such polished videos that appeared so complete and free of flaws. That was why he had raised the question.
And the question instantly made the representatives from the high-tech R&D and medical equipment sectors tense up.
After Pioneer Technology had already shown enough strength to force its way into both the medical and communications industries, the last thing they wanted was for that same giant to step into their fields as well.
"That touches on company secrets, but I can give you a rough answer. With Pioneer Technology, anything is possible."
This time, Lisa responded with a mysterious smile.
"Hello, I'm a representative from a phone company. My question is this: if we wanted to cooperate with your company in terms of products, I would like to ask about your production capacity. Since these products are so advanced, there will definitely be an enormous volume of orders."
"So would your company consider cooperating with other manufacturers to produce components?"
After Lisa called on him, a representative from a phone company stood up and asked the question that all the company representatives present cared about most.
"At present, we are not considering cooperating with other manufacturers for production."
"Whether it is core components or secondary parts, Pioneer Technology smartphones are entirely processed and produced by us. As for production capacity, there is absolutely no need to worry. We have just completed the acquisition of twenty production lines to fully support smartphone sales."
"And in the future, we also expect to complete the acquisition of fifty large electronics factories across major regions of the world within this quarter."
"So everyone can rest assured."
After hearing the man's question, Lisa answered with the same composed smile.
That answer left some of the electronics factory representatives present deeply disappointed. If they could have secured orders from Pioneer Technology, they were sure they would not have needed to worry about profits for the next ten years.
Unfortunately, it now seemed clear that Pioneer Technology maintained extremely strict confidentiality standards regarding the internal components of its phones.
Over the next half hour, as Lisa continued answering questions, time passed in the blink of an eye. And with Lisa's formal announcement, the launch event came to a successful close.
And while Lisa finally let out a breath of relief after the event ended...
The customers still inside the venue had no intention of resting at all. Every one of them acted as if they had gone mad, rushing straight toward the partnership negotiation area and the on-site order transaction area on the first floor of the company building.
In the end, the launch event was truly over, but for the world, what came after today was only the beginning of Pioneer Technology's new products igniting the globe.
...
At that moment, as soon as the launch event ended, the internet was flooded with every kind of phrase related to buttonless smartphones and virtual projection, along with the almost terrifying level of realism Lisa had demonstrated during the event. Scene after scene was so outrageous that it left people stunned.
After people in every industry saw it, they were all completely blown away.
"A buttonless smartphone? This has to be fake, right? What kind of phone doesn't even have buttons? It's obviously a scam, just hype."
"Oh, give me a break. Hype my ass. Didn't you see all those reporters test it personally? And Apple's CEO was there too. If it were fake, it would've been exposed instantly. Besides, do you really think that many media outlets could all fake it together? Pioneer Technology is a huge company. If a scandal like that broke out, do you seriously think they'd still be able to stay in business? Do you think Baymax means nothing?"
"The guy above is right. This kind of fake hype would make no sense at all. Even just Baymax alone has already made Pioneer Technology rich and famous. Putting out something obviously fake now would be way too blatant. So it's definitely real. Thank God, in my lifetime I might actually get to experience the kind of black technology that used to exist only in comic books."
"Still, if there aren't any buttons, can it even be used properly? I hate these weird phone manufacturers the most. Why can't they just make normal phones? They always insist on doing flashy nonsense like this. Whatever, I don't care what you people say. I'm already used to button phones. Anyway, I won't be buying Pioneer Technology's phone."
"The guy above had better remember what he said today. Do you even understand how insane 1 TB of storage is for a phone? Do you know how useful the RAM, virtual projection support, and real-time emergency alert functions are? It's dangerous everywhere these days. I don't even dare walk outside at night because if something goes wrong, I might get kidnapped before I can even call for help. Now there's finally a way to stay alive. I just hope Pioneer Technology releases security robots soon, so I can go out at night as freely as I do during the day."
"This is unbelievable. I never thought I'd really live to see virtual projection. I strongly suggest Pioneer Technology start researching immersive pods. And if there's no time for that, then at least develop some kind of motion-sensing equipment that lets people interact with virtual projections. Preferably something where users can choose which parts of the body get the feedback."
"Man, I could hear your little plan all the way from the Atlantic."
"I support the guy above. I hope Pioneer Technology opens up virtual projection modules soon so we can DIY our own stuff. At least then we'll be able to play games sooner."
"No problem. Anyway, according to Pioneer Technology's vice president, virtual projection can already play movies and games, and that's enough for me. My stash is already fully prepared."
"Brother above, please share!"
"Please share!"
...
Discussions like those above were happening in endless waves on the internet in virtually every country. It could be said that anywhere there was internet access, there were almost certainly people talking about the Pioneer smartphone and virtual projection.
And it was right at that moment, with the appearance of an app called Bluebird, that everyone discovered this software was even more convenient for discussion than ordinary websites. Users from all over the world could register accounts there and post updates for people everywhere to see.
And they could chat with almost no sense of distance at all. Even two users from different countries who did not speak each other's languages could carry on conversations without any communication barriers, all thanks to the app's built-in translation assistance.
As users continued spreading the word, more and more people gradually began gathering there.
And now that the launch event was over, Killian no longer needed to personally worry about the long chain of product sales matters that would follow.
Now that Lisa had stepped up and could handle things on her own, life had already become much easier for him.
