Yang Zhijie was silent for a long time in front of the promotional poster on the table. Finally he couldn't hold it in anymore. He asked: "Mr. Geng, don't we hold a product launch conference? This is a good time for publicity..."
"No way." Geng Xiaowen said after taking a sip of hot tea. "A product launch is not as simple as holding a meeting. It is about displaying products to merchants. We no longer have time to gather a room full of people. There is no audience. The press conference was held in vain.”
"That's true."
"And I estimate that Qi Ergou will launch the product immediately after tomorrow's product launch."
"Sell the product immediately?" Yang Zhijie murmured softly.
"Yes, he is compressing our time."
"As soon as Qionxing releases a sound card, as a competing product, our sound card has to keep up immediately and rush to release the product at the same time."
Geng Xiaowen took a sip of tea and continued, "This is a very simple logic. There are still one-third of the manufacturers in the market who have not taken sides. What do you think will happen if we release the product a few days later than Qiongxing?"
"They should all cooperate with Qiongxing." Yang Zhijie shrugged helplessly.
"Yes." Geng Xiaowen nodded, "Qiongxing is using time to force us to release products in a hurry, otherwise we will give it to the remaining partners."
"Tsk, sure enough we started a few days late, so we still suffer a bit." There was a trace of unwillingness in Yang Zhijie's bloodshot eyes.
After working hard for so long, it still failed to gain the upper hand in market share.
"There is no need to be so pessimistic, after all, our price advantage has always been there."
Geng Xiaowen seemed to see the worries of his subordinates. He put down his tea cup and comforted with a smile, "As long as various manufacturers find that our sound card can basically replace Qiongxing's sound card, they will slowly move closer to us. Wen Hui's market The occupancy rate will also increase.”
"That's true." Yang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I still have concerns." Geng Xiaowen leaned on his chair and looked out the window with tired eyes.
"What?"
"Qi Dongqiang, this old boy, likes to play dirty, and his son must have learned a bit about this method.
But so far, Qiongxing has not used any other dirty tricks after stealing the sound card design. "
The little fat man pondered for a moment and then instructed: "Let the members of the Intelligence Department keep an eye on you."
"Okay, I will explain it to them." Yang Zhijie nodded.
"Yeah." Geng Xiaowen stretched and squinted for a while.
He looked at Yang Zhijie with a smile on his face and said, "You have all worked hard these days. Except for the members of the Intelligence Department, one person from each department should be left on duty. The rest should go back and rest."
After nearly a week of continuous overtime work, almost everyone in Wenhui did not get off work. They were not paid enough for overtime pay and they were exhausted.
Others may still have shifts and have the opportunity to rest, but Lao Yang, as the general manager who is directly responsible to the boss, has never rested at all.
When he heard the order to go home and rest, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But before taking a break, Yang Zhijie still did not forget his work: "Okay, then Mr. Geng... who will you send with you to tomorrow's press conference?"
"No, I'll go with Brother Lu." Geng Xiaowen said, "You can help me keep an eye on Wen Hui tomorrow."
...
Xinghai Academy.
After leaving his sound card to Geng Xiaowen and becoming the shopkeeper, Lu Li felt very comfortable this week.
In the past few days, he has resumed his life of "classroom-dormitory".
The time has entered December, and after the freshmen have gone through a whole month of card-playing courses, several top students have already advanced to the second-level star card masters, such as Brother Jieao Tang Yu is one of them.
As for Lu Li, he also quietly suppressed the star power fluctuation to the first level and blended in among the freshmen.
——Yes, the official student status promised by Dean Zhang Liantao has been obtained, and now Lu Li is a star.
He is now an official student of Haixue Academy.
This also means that he needs to take the final exam.
It is precisely because of this that he could only follow his freshman classmates back to the card-making class.
Although the card-making course in his freshman year was very simple for him, he always wanted to know what the teacher taught in class to cope with the final exam.
After getting under the pressure of exams, Lu Li felt a familiar pain in his balls return.
College life is indeed good, but there can be no exams...
Helpless, he could only reasonably plan the courses for the three grades, including card-making classes for his sophomore and junior years, watching the teacher draw key points in his freshman class, and preparing for the final exam.
It was noon at this time, and it was time for get out of class to end.
"Ding ding ding..."
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. The teacher who taught card making did not interrupt the class. The first-year students all walked towards the cafeteria in twos and threes.
Only Lu Li, who was sitting in the last row, did not leave. He was still drawing circuits on the sound card with a carving knife in his hand. His movements were relaxed and carefree. The ringing of the bell and the noise of the crowd did not affect him at all.
During the previous military training and two-month course, the freshmen had already formed their own small group. They would eat together and practice star cards together.
Lu Li did not participate in military training and was still an auditor. Even his roommates were two abnormal students, the fifth-year senior and Geng Xiaowen. Naturally, he was alone in the group of freshmen.
However, this had little impact on Lu Li. Instead, it made it easier for him to sneak around and take classes.
"Dududu..."
The relaxing and cheerful Mario music played, which was the ringtone set by Lu Li.
The carving knife roamed freely on the card material, unconsciously speeding up, and drew three star symbols in a row in just a few seconds.
"Finish!"
When I picked up the phone, it was Geng Xiaowen.
Lu Li watched his classmates flock to the cafeteria, sat calmly in the last row, and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Qiongxing is holding a product launch event tomorrow. Can we go together?" Geng Xiaowen didn't hesitate to explain his purpose of coming.
"Product launch..." Lu Li actually had some impression of this matter, but not much.
"Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, so it won't delay your class." Geng Xiaowen said, "I know you are already an official student, but the weekend won't affect your study, right?"
"Go, go, when tomorrow?" Lu Li asked.
"Tomorrow at 12:30 noon, I will drive to pick you up." Geng Xiaowen spit out a sentence like a machine gun, "That's it, bye."
"Both—all—"
"You're dead now?" Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I must have been too tired these past few days. I guess the little fat guy fell down and fell asleep."
Putting down his phone, Lu Li sat quietly in his seat.
After everyone left, he put away the things on the table, got up and left the classroom.
The moment Lu Li stepped out, the star power fluctuations on his body changed from the first level to the second level, silently.
"From today on, I am at the second level." Lu Li said in his heart.
