Chapter 594: The curiosity of the American people.
At five o'clock the press conference was held on time. Over 70 media outlets from various countries gathered to prepare to interview this heroic endeavor. Among them, the American media are the most present. Now the most frequently mentioned words on the internet and social media in the United States are Monster Heavy Industry and Colossus.
During this time, several American media carried out live broadcasts on the Internet and on television. The press conference began, and Kong Tao started the opening first.
"Dear friends of the press, good afternoon everyone, ~ thank you all for coming from all over the world to our beautiful city of Shanghai, I want everyone to come and visit our beautiful country. What you want to know most about our company which has a large, globally designed vessel. A huge engineering ship was invested and built by our engineers, ~ so let me introduce you to the specific situation of the Colossus."
The reporters fell silent and began to listen attentively one by one. Kong Tao smiled and appreciated the situation.
"The hull of the Colossus has a cargo capacity of 70,000 tons, and the cargo is complete..."
After spending more than ten minutes introducing the basic situation of the Colossus and the industrial technology used in the rescue, Kong Tao indicated to everyone that they can raise their hands and ask questions, and while grazing the ground, all the reporters there raised their hands.
Kong Tao indicated one at random. This American media reporter quickly stood up, with friendly, grateful eyes: "Excuse me; your company has become a hero in the hearts of our American people. There may be thousands of them now. The Americans are watching this conference on TV. ~ Can you tell me what your company's products are? I think the American people must be very interested in knowing about them."
This was a grateful media reporter, and he wanted to advertise the Monster Heavy Industry through their webcast.
Kong Tao briefly introduced several civilian products produced by the company, and when the Magic Crystal mobile phone was introduced, the reporter looked very puzzled.
"Does your company even produce cell phones? Why haven't I seen this model in the US market?"
“Because it's still under review,” Kong Tao nodded and didn't explain the Magic Crystal cell phone was banned by the US government for no reason.
After asking a few questions in a row, the reporters and media were all very friendly. In particular, the media of the United States were so polite and respectful, making people feel like a spring breeze.
It is a pity that the friendly atmosphere abruptly ended when a journalist from a relatively well-known national media outlet asked his questions.
This journalist was from the journal Observation et Information, and this journalist was a man with a sharp frontal bone: “Excuse me, Mr. Ye, your company didn't hesitate to let dozens of crew members risk their lives to save the yacht, Sapphire. Does this show that you are hoping to win favor with the United States so that the United States government can lift the embargo on your company's products?”
Ye Qing was also seated on the stage. As soon as this problem appeared, most of the media immediately scanned it back and forth.
What? Did the US government actually impose a ban on Monster Heavy Industry products? No wonder then that Americans cannot see the products of Monster Heavy Industry in the American market.
It's just this question is extremely pointed. If it had not been for the Monster Heavy Industry, hundreds of the Sapphire's passengers would have been swallowed up to the bottom of the sea. Such a large rescue operation was described by this reporter as a speculative act for the benefit of the company to take the life of the crew as a gamble. This made the American media at the scene particularly outraged, and they looked at the reporter with serious and contemptuous eyes.
"Firefighters also risk their lives with every rescue mission. Mr. Reporter, can you answer me, what are they for?" asked an American reporter fluent in Chinese.
The man with the pointed frontal bone had a face full of indifference to hateful looks and the question of his fellow American journalist.
Ye Qing lifted his head and glanced at the reporter.
"If you were also on this ship, I wouldn't think you would put it that way."
The American journalist burst out laughing, then Kong Tao replaced him with another journalist to ask his questions. He was also a national journalist and did not expect the question he will ask to be that specific.
“Excuse me, Mr. Ye, did you ask the US officials to lift the market ban when you meet at noon? We know Apple is suing Monster Heavy Industry over the Magic Crystal issue. Did you ask to withdraw the lawsuit? We know that because the lawsuit concerning the mobile phone Magic Cristal between Monster Heavy Industry and the Apple Company is working in court."
“One more, the next one,” Ye Qing smiled at the reporter, and directly denied him the right to answer his question.
This time, Kong Tao learned well and immediately filtered out these small and medium-sized national media and selected the larger ones.
However, the objectives of these two correspondents were achieved and many American media broadcast the conference live. Not to mention that many ordinary Americans already knew that Apple was suing Monster Heavy Industry and those Monster Heavy Industry products are banned in the United States.
Due to the time difference, it was still early morning in the US, and most of the places to watch the live broadcast were online. After the release of the news fixes from various media at noon, people watching this press conference will have a blast.
……
Sure, the more pay to a high standard of living, the easier it is to have sympathy. In the mighty United States, people have virtually no current information to pay attention to. Naturally, this celebrity entertainment and the content of people's lives have become one of the topics they are interested in, and for one news item over the course of a week, a puppy caught in the mud having some heated discussion between them on the Internet. So what if it was several of their compatriots in danger of death at sea?
……
Those national reporters who raised black money from some companies that knew the broadcast was live in the United States, and they wanted to put the subject to the side regarding the image of Monster Heavy Industry, but it's a shame that they underestimated the gratitude of the American people to Monster Heavy Industry.
When the reporter asked the question, Americans who watched the live show were really unconcerned about why Monster Heavy Industry was being sued by Apple and why the government had banned the sale of their products.
The heroic and fearless Monster Heavy Industry gave them a good first impression. After learning the Monster Heavy Industry was in fact producing cell phones, the heart's curiosity immediately peaked.
What magical company cannot only produce industrial giants but also manufacture cell phones? What type of mobile phone? Is it a steel mobile phone that is stronger than Nokia?
Before the press conference ended, many netizens posted on some popular forums.
"Where can I buy a Monster Heavy Industry cell phone? I will just change cell phones. If their product is not bad, I will choose to buy their product."
"I just checked the internet. The reputation of Magic Cristal is very good. Where can I buy it?"
"I'm more curious, which are the functions of this kind of cell phone. Samsung has exploded, and Apple had no innovation. I really want to change phones."
“I can't buy it. The reporter said there was a lawsuit brought by Apple and it was banned in the United States."
"You're kidding. Can you buy drugs with cash, but you can't buy a cell phone? My neighbor is from China. I asked him to bring me one from China the next time he returned home just to thank them for saving hundreds of our lives."
"Haha ~ you farmer group, I have a Magic Crystal cell phone here."
