Chapter 213 Preparation for the press conference
The next day, Su Cheng slept until very late before getting up.
He didn’t have many friends here in New York. As for Jodie Foster, she had to wait until the evening to fly to New York.
Everyone in the trading team went to their own free activities. Even Zhang Qizheng went to find his old friend.
At the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, 9 kilometers away, Yang Chaoye was supervising the construction team and nervously arranging the venue.
Previously, the construction team had already arranged the site according to the designed drawings.
However, after Yang Chaoye came over, he still felt dissatisfied with some aspects, so he made modifications.
Today is September 27th, and there are still three days left before the press conference. Now that the venue has almost been modified, there is plenty of time.
The next step is to test and proofread the equipment.
Yang Chaoye is very well-known in the beautiful country's scientific and technological circles.
Therefore, before this, he had already used his personal reputation to issue press conference invitations to many mainstream media in beautiful countries.
By then, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be more than a hundred media participating.
Even the mainstream media from Japan, the United Kingdom, France and other places based in the United States are also invited.
In addition, he also invited many big names in the industry to participate in this conference.
A revolutionary product, this is Yang Chaoye’s publicity.
Although Yang Chaoye has resigned from IBM for several months, his prestige is still there, and many people give him face.
Even J. Watson, the current president of IBM, is said to have attended the conference in person.
On the surface, IBM President J. Watson was trying to save face for his former colleague, but in fact, he just wanted to see his joke.
He also wanted to know what tricks this colleague who had often opposed him in the past would come up with.
On the board of directors, the two of them often quarreled over certain things in front of everyone.
After leaving your job, you joined an unknown company in Xiangjiang?
What good products can be released?
IBM President J. Watson does not think that the Su Group can bring the slightest threat to IBM's industry competition!
This is simply nonsense!
The beautiful country is at the forefront of the scientific and technological world.
Xiangjiang is a small place. Apart from commerce, finance, tourism, and some low-end processing industries, what can it accomplish in terms of science and technology?
Products that can change the world? J. Watson doesn’t believe it at all.
J.Watson has been waiting to see Yang Chaoye’s joke.
The Su Group, he had never heard of, could develop any good products.
He has also heard about the Sioux City incident. It is said that 170 million barrels of crude oil were purchased at one time, which made a lot of noise in the media before.
But so what?
Just a nouveau riche.
If there is a start-up company in Silicon Valley that has launched a revolutionary product, he still believes it because this has happened countless times before.
But if it happened over there in Xiangjiang, he wouldn't believe it.
……
Su Cheng slept until noon and then slowly got up.
In the hotel restaurant, we had a casual buffet and then left the hotel.
Zhang Qizheng had already rented a car for him and parked it in the hotel's underground parking lot.
“Go to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.” Su Cheng said to the driver.
“Okay boss!” The driver nodded and said, then started the car and drove out of the parking lot. One of these bodyguards had been in New York before, so he was familiar with the streets of New York.
Therefore, he is the most suitable candidate to serve as Su City's driver.
The traffic here in New York is even more congested than that in Xiangjiang.
It took almost half an hour to walk a mere 9 kilometers.
The Metropolitan Opera House is a leading world-class opera house in New York. Its predecessor was a theater located on Broadway between 39th Street and 40th Street in the second half of the 19th century. .
The Metropolitan Opera House was built in 1965. It is the core part of New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Its architectural style combines classical and modern styles. It is large in scale and can accommodate more than 4,000 spectators. It is one of the few in the world. One of the great theaters.
Because of this, Yang Chaoye put the press conference here.
Although, this press conference is destined not to be filled with more than 4,000 spectators, because Oracle Computer Company does not have any reputation at all.
However, there should still be scenes.
There must be hundreds of people in these more than 100 media outlets.
In addition, there are many big names and old friends of Yang Chaoye coming over, and there will be more than a hundred people here.
In addition, thousands of teachers and students from New York University will come to participate.
IBM is headquartered in Armonk, New York. Naturally, many New York University engineering graduates will choose IBM as their first choice for employment.
Yang Chaoye also graduated from New York University and is considered one of the well-known alumni of New York University. When he was working at IB, he was invited to serve as an honorary professor at New York University.
So, this time Yang Chaoye specifically contacted the head of the engineering information major at New York University.
They also gave Yang Chaoye a lot of face and directly arranged for thousands of students majoring in engineering information to attend this press conference.
A press conference attended by more than a thousand people is enough.
The car parked in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Opera House, and Su Cheng also arrived at the venue of the press conference smoothly.
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?" As soon as Su Cheng came in, he saw Yang Chaoye in command.
“I am full of energy and looking forward to this day coming as soon as possible.” Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
When he was at IBM, he also hosted many product launches, but at that time he only hosted some products that were not very important.
For those new product launches that can shock the entire technology world, naturally it is not his turn as the vice president.
"Come on, in the future, there will be more good products that need you to host." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although he can also go up and host these press conferences, he is not interested in them at all.
As long as he can make money for Su Cheng, he is more willing to be a behind-the-scenes person and make a fortune quietly.
"All the equipment on site has been arranged. In order to make the press conference go smoothly, I am preparing to conduct a rehearsal-style press conference tomorrow." Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
"Well, it's up to you. Thank you for your hard work, don't be tired." Su Cheng patted Yang Chaoye on the shoulder and said seriously.
After all, he is an old man who is over sixty years old, and Su Cheng does not want him to get exhausted.
"Fortunately, it's just a rehearsal. I can rest for two days the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Yang Chaoye waved his hand and said it didn't matter.
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't come over. I'll come back on the day of the press conference. I wish our press conference a complete success!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
He will be in charge of cutting leeks at the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow, so he won't have time to come over.
"It will definitely be a complete success, I am full of confidence!" Yang Chaoye replied.
