Chapter 297 Crush with strength! Bruce Group Product Launch! A sensation across America!
The scandal between Madame Curie and Lang Zhiwan soon caused a sensation throughout Europe.
From the powerful to the ordinary people, all the details and gossip in the newspapers are read with relish.
Female scientist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, discovered the element radium.
Any one of these three achievements would be amazing even if taken alone.
But no matter how good it is, it will only make people respect you.
Even most ordinary people don’t understand it.
However, once it is associated with extramarital affairs and cheating, emotions will explode instantly.
A sense of contrast is always the only way to make news popular.
The greater the contrast, the more sensational it is.
Now Marie Curie is deeply involved in the whirlpool. With the help of Ridgway, she chose to stay in the UK temporarily and wait for the public opinion to subside.
Just when Li Qiwei was thinking about how to better help Madame Curie.
At this time, Tesla sent news from the United States.
The battery research and development under Bruce Group has made a huge breakthrough.
Li Qiwei was overjoyed after receiving the news.
A year ago, when he visited the United States, he had a conflict with Edison.
So, a contest between the strongest physicist and the strongest inventor began.
Li Qiwei publicly announced in front of everyone that he would surpass Edison in the research and development of alkaline batteries.
Develop better and more suitable alkaline batteries.
Even in the future, as long as it is an Edison product, Li Qiwei's company will make competing products and engage in fair market competition.
He just wanted to fight back by overpowering the opponent in the invention that Edison was best at.
At that time, this news first caused an uproar in the United States.
Countless Americans are excited, waiting for this big show.
Both parties are the top celebrities in the world today and are extremely smart.
But there are still relatively few people who are optimistic about Li Qiwei.
Ordinary Americans believe that after all, there are specializations in the profession.
Edison has been immersed in the invention industry for decades and accumulated a wealth of data and experience.
Li Qiwei was just a 30-year-old physicist, how could he compare to the experienced Edison.
And people with certain scientific knowledge see deeper.
They believe that the gap between academic physics and applied physics is very large.
It can even be said that there is not much correlation.
Especially things like batteries.
Battery existed a hundred or two hundred years ago.
This shows that its technology must not be very difficult.
What’s more important is experience.
"What Bruce has learned in his life is of no use."
This is the reaction of most people.
So, since the news came out, almost everyone is optimistic about Edison.
Even Europe is the same.
Although people here know more about Li Qiwei, they are not optimistic about his inventive ability.
Of course, there are still many people who are Li Qiwei's biggest fans.
Among them is Gerald, the boss of Philips in the Netherlands.
When he held a meeting of the company's core employees, he said disdainfully: "A bunch of stupid Americans."
"What kind of existence do they think they are fighting?"
“We’ll just wait and see the joke.”
The employees in the room immediately applauded vigorously, praising the boss for his thorough analysis.
At this moment, somewhere around New York, United States.
This is the location of the battery factory owned by Bruce Group.
The group general manager Sheng Jingran and the chief technology officer Tesla were inspecting the factory's production conditions and talking, followed by several entourages.
"Mr. Tesla, let me confirm it with you again."
"The experimental data of the battery have been fully verified, and the comparison data with Edison has been confirmed again, right?"
Tesla looked excited and said firmly: "Don't worry, Manager Sheng."< br>
“I have done all the tests three times under the most stringent environment to ensure that there will be no problems.”
“I will definitely be able to complete the final test before the press conference on October 5. The results are handed over to the group.”
“I will be solely responsible for any mistakes.”
Hearing Tesla's assurance, Sheng Jingran smiled on his face.
It has been almost a year, although he has not had many conversations with Tesla.
But the other party's meticulous, rigorous and meticulous style still left a deep impression on him.
This is a pure technical guy.
If he says it works, then it will definitely work. If it doesn’t, then it definitely won’t work.
If it weren't for the importance of this press conference, Sheng Jingran wouldn't have come to confirm it in person.
After all, this is the task assigned by the chairman. It is the absolute first priority and cannot be overemphasized.
Yes, of course it was Li Qiwei who pointed out Sheng Jingran for something as advanced as the press conference.
In order to expand the impact of this incident and offset the negative news about Madame Curie.
Li Qiwei directly produced the most popular press conference in future generations.
It was impossible for him to make a special trip to the United States just for this matter. That would be too disrespectful to Edison.
So, this opportunity to show his face fortunately fell on Sheng Jingran.
He can guarantee that such a novel way of publicity will definitely cause a sensation all over the world.
Li Qiwei himself cannot predict the impact that will be achieved when coupled with the transcendence of his own products.
As the first product of Bruce Group, zinc-manganese batteries have great commemorative significance.
Because it will be an epoch-making battery product.
According to the test data sent by Edison, Li Qiwei knew that his battery surpassed Edison's nickel-iron battery in all five most important performance indicators.
And it is still a huge order of magnitude transcendence.
In short, Li Qiwei is guaranteed to win this match with Edison.
“I really want to see Edison’s surprised look.”
On the morning of October 5, 1911, in the auditorium of the most luxurious hotel in New York, USA.
A press conference that will surprise everyone in the United States is about to kick off grandly.
Although Bruce Group was established less than a year ago, it has already become a well-known company in the United States.
No way, who made Edison and his company so famous in the United States.
This press conference was attended by celebrities from all walks of life in the United States, technology enthusiasts, etc. It can be said that there is a wide variety of people.
The venue, which could accommodate 500 people, seemed very crowded at the moment.
There are too many people watching.
On the one hand, this is because press conferences are extremely attractive to this era.
Even many entrepreneurs and sociology professors came in person to study this novel publicity method in detail.
On the other hand, there are too many gimmicks in today’s meeting.
One is the number one person in the world of physics today, and the other is the number one person in the world of invention today.
The collision between these two people can be called Mars hitting the Earth.
It’s hard even if you don’t think about getting out of the circle.
Moreover, Li Qiwei has also made preparations to ensure that there will be no silence or accidents.
Backstage, Sheng Jingran was having a close exchange with Mr. Situ.
This was Li Qiwei's second plan.
After all, it was Sheng Jingran who was speaking on stage, and the security issues caused by his identity need to be considered.
If you meet a few stupid young Americans, the thin Sheng Jingran will only get beaten.
So, Boss Situ and the elite boys from Hongmen have already monitored the entire hotel.
Ensure the smooth progress of the press conference.
Even if no one comes to participate, tens of thousands of Hongmen boys can fill up the hotel with just one order from Boss Situ.
Now Hongmen attaches greater importance to the Bruce Group than even Ridgway himself.
No way, that is the most enviable job opportunity.
Although the Bruce Group did encounter resistance from the United States when it was first established.
However, under the dual influence of force and money, some officials still choose to turn a blind eye.
After all, the United States is anti-Chinese, not anti-money.
The people below who implement policies don’t care what your bill is.
As a result, Bruce Group obtained the qualification to operate normally after promising to hire a certain number of Americans. Boss Situ heard from Sheng Jingran that the company's battery products will definitely sell well, and demand will definitely exceed supply.
So there will definitely be a large-scale recruitment of workers.
Obviously, they must be recruiting people from Hongmen.
Although these young men do not understand scientific knowledge, they are more than capable of being assembly line workers.
If that doesn’t work out, you can still work as a security guard, transportation worker, etc.
Although there are not too many positions now.
But as long as the scale of the enterprise increases in the future, upstream and downstream will be promoted, and tens of thousands of people will work and play.
These days, except for a very small number of people who can make steady money, who is willing to take risks to fight and kill.
If you want to work in the Bruce Group, you must first join Hongmen.
The Chinese will become more and more powerful by joining the group to keep warm.
With more money, you can knock out more American officials and expand your business even bigger.
This is a very good virtuous cycle.
Boss Situ can already see a bright future.
Soon, the press conference will finally begin.
Experiencing such a big scene for the first time, even if Sheng Jingran controlled himself, he could not avoid being nervous.
The crowd of people in the audience all came here because of the reputation.
I want to see how awesome Bruce Group’s products are.
The novel press conference also focused their attention on the Chinese people in front of them.
Sheng Jingran took a deep breath and said according to the lines that he had already memorized by heart:
"Thank you all for coming to the Bruce Group's first product launch conference."
"I It’s Steve Sheng, the general manager of the group.”
“Today I will introduce the company’s battery products.”
Sheng Jingran spoke rather dryly, so the audience's reaction was also relatively cold.
Only the Hongmen boys clapped their hands and applauded, enlivening the atmosphere.
Edison in the crowd snorted, looking extremely disdainful.
He secretly sneaked into the press conference just to see if Li Qiwei was bluffing or making a fuss.
“Oh, Bruce Lee sent such a stupid subordinate here.”
Sheng Jingran was not discouraged by the cold reception, because he had a trump card given by the chairman.
“First of all, I want to explain that the design inspiration of the group’s first product, zinc-manganese battery, came from the group’s chairman, Professor Bruce.”
“Specific details The research and development work is led by the chief technology officer of the group, Mr. Tesla.”
Wow!
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
Tesla, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and signaled, and received applause from everyone.
No one expected that this battery was actually written by Bruce.
Everyone thought that he hired Tesla specifically to fight Edison on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, the other party ended up personally.
For a time, everyone felt that things were not that simple.
Tesla's reputation is as good as Edison's, so there is no doubt that this matter is false.
The battery product was really invented by Bruce himself.
Edison in the audience frowned, his face a little ugly.
"Huh, so what if you designed it yourself, I don't believe it can surpass my nickel-iron battery."
Edison has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Seeing the reactions of everyone in the audience, Sheng Jingran began to gain confidence and spoke more calmly.
“After more than 10 months of research and development, the product has made a huge breakthrough.”
“And compared with similar products, the performance of our company’s batteries has been significantly improved.”
"Everyone, please look at the picture."
Bang!
Huge photos were projected on the walls of the podium.
This is a comparison chart made by Li Qiwei himself.
In his previous life, as a doctoral student, he almost vomited with pictures like this.
The so-called product comparison chart has only one purpose.
To explain: My stuff is awesome, other people’s stuff is trash.
At this moment, on the huge chart, Bruce Group's zinc-manganese batteries and Edison's nickel-iron batteries were put together for comparison.
There are 5 comparison dimensions.
Since there was no animation technology at this time, Li Qiwei specially asked people to draw several vivid cartoons.
Dedicated to highlight the huge difference.
Li Qiwei learned all his ideas from later generations of Lei gang leaders.
The famous "thinner than a coin" comparison method is simply a bible and legend in the marketing world and is worth learning by everyone.
At this moment, Li Qiwei’s chart has three connotations.
You can imagine how much impact this advanced concept had on everyone present.
Boom!
There was a sudden sensation in the venue.
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Even a liberal arts person with no technical knowledge can easily see the advantages and disadvantages of the two batteries.
Because there is no comparison at all.
Edison’s battery failed!
At this moment, Edison’s expression is as wonderful as it can be.
He had even forgotten what to say.
A look of horror appeared in his eyes.
Just mumbling there.
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
"How could Bruce Lee develop this kind of battery, I don't believe it."
However, the ironclad facts are in front of us, no matter how much Edison denies them, it is useless.
After today, he is destined to be a loser, a joke.
Edison couldn't listen to the rest of the content at all.
“Based on America.”
"Lay out the world."
"Let there be no hard-to-use batteries in the world."
"."
Bruce Group's first press conference was a complete success.
Although Sheng Jingran’s personal charm is incomparable to Li Qiwei’s, the overall rhythm of the press conference was also relatively stiff.
However, the uniqueness, originality and heavy content of its form make up for various inherent shortcomings.
This conference caused a huge sensation in the United States.
Major newspapers spared no effort to report this matter.
No one expected that this shocking bet would end with Bruce crushing Edison.
"Professor Bruce is indeed the number one genius in physics. If he devotes himself to starting a business, he will probably become the richest man in the world."
Countless companies have also begun to follow the example of the Bruce Group and are quietly preparing for the launch of their own new products in an attempt to become an instant success.
Edison's battery business suffered a huge blow and quickly declined.
At the same time, orders were flying towards Bruce Group like snowflakes.
In the office.
The three top executives of the group, General Manager Sheng Jingran, Chief Technology Officer Tesla, and Security Minister Situ, were all smiling from ear to ear.
Sheng Jingran said excitedly: "The financial department just made the latest forecast."
"This product will bring a profit of at least five million US dollars to the group!"
Hiss!
Big Brother Situ took a breath of air.
“Damn it, I’m still a gangster.”
Boss Situ owns the original shares of the company.
Even if it is only a little bit, when the base number is large enough, the multiplied numbers will be very scary.
Tesla just smiled happily, thinking about the opportunity to develop more products.
Sheng Jingran did not dare to waste time and immediately telegraphed the latest situation to the other side of the ocean.
After receiving the press conference and the company’s financial data, Li Qiwei smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
"This is just the beginning."
