Chapter 426 Beloved Outcast
A week after the product was released, Smith Industries actively promoted the "internal combustion engine", which can be regarded as allowing Tu Fu to see what the power of capital is.
Regardless of the lace news or the international newspapers, all kinds of media have been stunned by heavy money.
Smith Industries spends money like water, and all news media, whether domestic or foreign, are content-oriented.
The "yellow news" media, known for being hot, hot, and unscrupulous in rhythm, will not let go of this good opportunity. They dare to publish all kinds of big words directly on the masthead, which naturally attracts all kinds of criticism.
All the media in the world are constantly promoting new technologies that are about to be born for a week,
Propaganda titles are directly named with exaggerated slogans such as "epoch-making product", "the only choice in the new industrial era", "the final answer to the electric revolution".
Even people who have no interest in it will be impressed after seeing it three or five times.
It's even exaggerated to the point that when everyone around you is discussing the same topic, if you still don't know anything about it.
Then congratulations, you have become the old party of the times.
As for whether doing so would cost too much money, Tu Fu had never asked David this question.
The successor of the unscrupulous enterprise, the hanged ghost who is destined to be hung on the street lamp said with a smile on his face:
"As long as the 'internal combustion engine' sells as much as 'light bulbs', the ad money will eventually come out of the buyer's pocket, and people will be paying for the ad they're watching.
Wool always comes from sheep. "
Not to mention the products for civilian use, there is no such demand as those of the major countries in the world. Smith Industries can directly do business with state agencies, so there is no need to worry about sales.
The consequences of "throwing coins" directly led to the product launch site of Smith Industries in mid-July,
More than 100 media outlets have arrived at the Santa King Capital.
At Smith's headquarters in Tabor, a motley crew of journalists gathered at the launch event, listening to young David briskly describe the intricacies of the product.
And there are more than 20 professors from Miskar Stark University sitting underneath, almost evacuating the technical talents of the University of Michigan.
press conference site,
It was also a lot more serious because of the presence of these people.
"As I said, this is a project fully supported by Miskar Stark University, and it won't be long before you can see this technology across the ages anytime.
At that time, the price of a car equipped with an 'internal combustion engine' will be lower, and its service life will become longer. It will be cheap enough to ensure that every citizen of Baia can afford to drive a 'car' and go to all free places.
At that time, every household will have a car with the most cutting-edge technology of this era, and the citizens of Baia should enjoy the best things. "
David's speech style is not brilliant.
His numbers on things like internal combustion engines and cars are unknown, but he has his focus.
Especially in the aspect of "cost performance", it is better to sell at the ex-factory price than to expand the publicity.
Most of the upper-middle-class families now own a "steam car", but the use value of this thing is too low.
Not only is it always prone to failure, but because the distance is too short, there is no need to use a car, and the distance is too long to drive.
Far less convenient than taking a steam train or an airship.
So much so that the word "steam car" became synonymous with "upper class" for a while, and those middle-class families who thought they had a good income would always grit their teeth and buy one.
But David's promotional slogan is "everyone can afford to drive", which seems to pull down the high-ranking product and become a product of the civilian class.
"Not bad guy, he should go to the sea island with me to do sales, and make sure he can empty the pockets of the rich there."
At the moment, Tu Fu is sitting in the backstage room.
Quietly listening to David's fancy speech, and sending out a sentence or two of praise from time to time.
Beside him was Miss Bella Wayne, who had just returned from Whiskey Hill.
Two classmates who also came from the University of Michigan acted as audiences for him.
Miss Bella, who was ignorant of the world, tilted her head when she heard David's speech and thought, "Tu Fu, will the 'car' that everyone can afford really not lose money?"
"Don't worry about David. It will be sold at the cost price at the beginning of the launch. It is obviously more reasonable to increase the price after the car culture is formed in the later stage and our products are popularized."
Tu Fu leisurely held a cup of coffee and pretended to taste it, and talked about the future development of Smith Industry by the way.
In fact, it is no different from the practice of many companies in the later generations. They sold products at low prices in the early stage, and after breaking the circle, there was another round of crazy price increases.
As for the original intention? Generate electricity with love?
Let them go to hell, the businessmen with original intentions will no longer know which alley they will starve to death.
"What's more, what's the point if the product doesn't make money? Do you know that Smith Industries has hoarded the property rights of the Southern Continent oilfield? Big rich."
Tu Fu casually shook his head and smiled.
This is the advantage of a national-level enterprise, that is, it can monopolize and manipulate everything about people: "Speaking of which, your David really has the potential to be hanged by a street lamp, why don't you choose a rope for him first."
"Bah bah, don't say unlucky words." Bella rolled her eyes beautifully, "Besides, we haven't formally dated yet, so don't talk nonsense here."
At the speech conference site, David skillfully manipulated the process, and he appeared on the stage to warm up, and then the professors from the University of Michigan's technical team presented the latest products.
Openly announced to the media to the world, this is a very remarkable product.
David Smith has said enough to see what he has to say, and it is time to reveal the heaviest hole card of this press conference:
"Gentlemen, I have to explain one thing. In fact, from the concept to the implementation of the 'internal combustion engine', apart from the gentlemen of the University of Michigan, it has always been inseparable from a young gentleman who made silent contributions. He must be our greatest hero.
If I don't introduce His to everyone, I'm afraid even God will not let me go.
I bet there's no one better than him that I've ever met. "
As soon as this doubtful statement came out, all the newspaper reporters were subconsciously surprised and doubted the authenticity of the other statement.
"Is there any more powerful researcher than the professor at the University of Michigan?"
"Mr. Young? You don't look like a scientific researcher at this age."
"Don't be so sure, it's not like there are young geniuses in Columbia University and Missouri University."
The reporters below were still whispering and discussing the so-called "mystery guest".
David deliberately kept a secret here, and he smiled mysteriously:
"A few years ago, He came from the Baia Kingdom, traveled all over the world and finally settled in the Southern Continent, but His name was known to everyone in the Kingdom, and the sensation he caused has benefited us endlessly."
Once this specific condition is given, the reporters who are extremely sensitive to news are like sharks smelling blood, and the blood in their bodies seems to flow backwards uncontrollably.
A strong sense of excitement thrilled everyone.
"Young genius? Drifting in a foreign land? It seems that there are not many people who meet these conditions."
"Well, after thinking about it, it seems that there are only a few, could it be..."
The reporters below immediately whispered and listed some geniuses who had been depressed over the years one by one.
The answer is infinitely close.
At this moment, a reporter from the "Gottinghagen Post" asked David an excellent question. He seemed to have guessed something, and his voice trembled when he spoke.
"Mr. Smith, may I ask if the gentleman you mentioned is from the same university as you?"
The latter hesitated for a moment, and then gave him an encouraging look.
"That's a good question, and the answer is 'yes'. I am very fortunate to be admitted to the University of Michigan in the same class as him. This is also the luckiest thing in my life."
David stood on the stage and walked casually to both sides, with a nostalgic smile on his face,
"He is a favorite and an outcast.
He was pursued and exiled.
He is the pride of Miskar Stark, no matter how many years it will be, whenever someone mentions his name, he will be involuntarily and respectful. "
A student who can bear such a high evaluation, even Miska is proud of, and a student who is in the same class as David Smith.
These conditions have already been fulfilled, and the one who will appear is the great "national hero".
The press conference was extremely quiet, and none of the journalist team of several hundred people dared to take a deep breath, for fear that their own breathing would affect David's mention of the arrival of the legend.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The sound of footsteps came from the background. He walked towards the front step by step, and the pace was very slow.
It seems to be reminiscing the experience of drifting outside for more than two years, crying and laughing, sour and sweet, no matter how many experiences, no matter how legendary stories, they all turned into tasteless boiled water in the end.
Walking out of half a lifetime, returning still as a teenager.
The 21-year-old Tu Fu stood there, looking at the podium with affectionate eyes, all eyes were his nineteen-year-old appearance.
Countless audiences waited for His arrival with full anticipation just like now, and the self two and a half years ago was always standing in that position, always the most dazzling light in the crowd.
The journey from the backstage to the podium was not long, but it took two full years for Him to walk.
Finally, I can justifiably declare to everyone,
Touf Capet is back.
