Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1134 All light takes time to be seen
After Qing Yun's 'Born Proud' brand promotional video was broadcast, it immediately caused a stir on the Yanhuang Forum.

Comments from netizens poured in like a tide, and they marveled at Qing Yun's frankness and courage. "This young President Qing is really bold!"

Some people also said, "I feel this is not just propaganda, it is a spiritual communication."

More people were moved by Qing Yun's words and began to reflect on their own values ​​and attitudes towards life.

In the dormitory of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Li Yali sat quietly beside the bed, her eyes fixed on the TV, where a long warm-up video of the Yanhuang Group was playing.

The boy on TV is still so dazzling and confident, as if the whole world is at his feet.

He stood tall, speaking with great vigor and vitality, and every word he said was full of power and the young man's challenge to the rules of the world.

Especially those swearing sounds that were not muted, which made her laugh and cry.

She laughed and cursed quietly, "You rascal."

However, the smiles in the corners of the eyes, eyebrows and lips made the sisters Aynazi and Qifen stare in amazement.

Especially Aynazi.

She has always been very proud of her beauty. Even in the frontier where beautiful women have been born since ancient times, her appearance is top-notch.

But in front of this sister, her self-esteem was completely crushed.

From Li Yali, she realized that a woman's beauty is always lacking in something. A woman also needs temperament.

At this moment, the beauty Li Zhaojun's eyes and eyebrows were filled with all kinds of charm, which made it difficult to look away.

"It's a pity that the blind Xiaoqing on TV can't see it."

Yuga, one of the function sisters, whispered what Aynazi was thinking.

"Yes, yes! Yes, yes!"

Zheng Xian spoke in Li Yali's Sichuan dialect in a strange way, but everyone could hear the dissatisfaction and regret in her words, as well as the feeling of pity for Li Yali.

They all knew what Li Yali was thinking, and they all knew that their current situation was a damn 'the goddess has the heart but the king has no dream'.

Therefore, after running between Li Yali's school and company for such a long time, they felt it was not worth it as they looked much thinner.

All I can say is that Mr. Xiaoqing’s eyes are covered with bird shit.

Besides, there are already 6 of them, why can’t there be one more, Sister Yali?

In their opinion, Sister Yali deserves someone better, and even more so, a lover who can see all the good in her.

Hearing her roommate's words, the smile on Li Zhaojun's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.

She sighed softly, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness flashed in her eyes.

She knew that her roommates were concerned about and protective of her, but her heart had long been lost on Qing Yun, the boy who always had a sunny smile on the basketball court in high school.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him."

Li Yali waved her hand in a casual manner, trying to change the subject, "What kind of surprises will he bring to us at tomorrow's press conference?"

Her roommates all heard the expectation in her voice, but also a hint of evasion, and seeing this, they all cooperated and changed the subject.

They began to discuss the new products that Yanhuang Group might release and what Qingyun might say at the press conference.

Aynazi excitedly opened the topic, "Have you heard about it? Yanhuang Group is about to release a laptop computer. It is said that one of them is specially designed for girls. The color and appearance are particularly attractive!"

Yuga asked curiously, "Really? What colors and designs are there?"

Aynazi waved her hand and said, "I don't know, but I think it will be the same color scheme as the national trend series that was leaked before."

"It's for girls only, won't it be light?"

"Maybe..."

The discussion in the dormitory was lively and cheerful, but Li Yali's mind had already flown to the boy whom she could never reach.

In her heart, Qing Yun will always be the sunny boy sweating on the basketball court, the academic genius speaking confidently in class, and the stinky youngest who makes her heart beat.

……

At 2:14 p.m. on February 2, Yanhuang Group's "Born Proud" spring full-scenario new product launch conference officially began at the Yanjing International Conference Center.

Outside the venue, colorful flags were fluttering. Under the sunshine, the words "Born Proud" on the huge poster sparkled with golden light, attracting the attention of countless passers-by, as if foreshadowing that today's press conference would be an extraordinary event.

The venue was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Reporters from major media outlets have already set up their cameras, ready to capture every wonderful moment.

But it must be said that even though they had participated in numerous new product launches, the scene at this moment was something they had never heard of before.

The press conference of Yanhuang Group is completely different from all previous press conferences. This difference is not only reflected in the scale and influence, but also in the participants and the concept of the press conference.

Different from the traditional press conferences at the beginning of the century, Yanhuang Group’s press conference was attended not only by leaders, media and terminal representatives, but also by a large number of consumers.

These consumers are the lucky ones who won the tickets through the Yanhuang Group Forum draw and the university on-site draw.

'How do you view the ironic reality that there are no consumers at a product launch for the consumer market? '

Qing Yun had already started hyping this topic during the Fantasy Group's press conference half a year ago.

The scene at this time made the majority of netizens very satisfied.

Yundi is well aware that the real power of its products comes from its users.

True brand loyalty also comes from users' personal experience and participation.

As a reborn person, what he brought from the future was not only technology, but also new concepts.

He is well aware that in the digital age, the essence of a brand launch is to issue “social currency”, a currency that can make participants feel superior.

Therefore, he involved some users to make the stage an event rather than just a marketing activity.

This sense of participation and co-creation is what the current Generation Z is pursuing. They aspire to be heroes of their own life journey, rather than just believers sitting below listening to the Pope's speech.

At the press conference, Yanhuang Group carefully arranged several interactive areas, including a product experience area, a technology display area and a user exchange area.

Each area is designed to provide users with a deeper understanding of the product while also allowing the user’s voice to be heard.

This scenario-based experience allows users to be not just spectators, but participants and co-creators.

Yanhuang Group’s press conferences are no longer limited to the traditional communication path - brand-media-public, but are directly aimed at C-end consumers, starting eye-to-eye communication.

Through live broadcast, the content of the press conference was delivered to global audiences in real time, allowing everyone interested in Yanhuang Group to participate in this event.

This differentiation in communication strategy makes Yanhuang Group’s press conference a content event and a platform for direct communication between the brand and consumers.

In Qingyun's philosophy, a good product must be sexy, must be able to attract the users' eyes and hearts, and must conquer the minds of consumers the first time they see it.

Therefore, every aspect of the Yanhuang Group's press conference was carefully designed to ensure that the product became the sole focus.

From the exquisite slides to the progressive analytical texts, all are preparations for the final launch of the product.

When people see a wonderful debut with anticipation, the climax must be the product.

As the countdown to the press conference progressed, the atmosphere on site became increasingly heated.

Consumers are full of expectations for Yanhuang Group's products, and media reporters are busy recording every highlight.

The employees of Yanhuang Group were filled with pride. They felt proud to be able to participate in such a grand event.

This press conference is not only a display of products, but also a vivid embodiment of Yanhuang Group’s concept of “born proud” and a concrete practice of Qingyun’s brand concept.

In the center of the stage, a promotional video of Yanhuang Group was played on a huge LED screen, showing the group's development history and product innovation.

The company was established only half a year ago, so normally there is not much to introduce.

However, under the clever conception of a boss lady who studies to be a director, the story was repeated madly from the perspective of ordinary people, employees, and partners, similar to the continuous side-by-side setting of the water word count in a cool novel, and the process of several months was forcibly filmed into a ten-minute blockbuster.

The audience was deeply attracted by this majestic yet approachable promotional video, and the atmosphere was warm and expectant.

This press conference also received attention from major media, and the Central Television's Finance Channel and Science and Education Channel broadcast the entire event live.

This made Ding Sanshi, who was in trouble with the Internet, sit in his office, furious. He had bought the exclusive text broadcast rights of the press conference for nothing!

He thought to himself, No! I must go find that guy and return the money!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the atmosphere in the hall of the Yenching International Conference Center was tense and exciting.

As the press conference approached, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, as if every molecule in the air was filled with anticipation.

The host's voice rang out in the silence, clear and powerful: "Now please welcome Mr. Luo Yonghao, Chief Product Experience Officer of Yanhuang Group!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion among the crowd.

The protagonist of this press conference is not Qing Yun, the chairman of Yanhuang Group? !
Only then did people realize that President Xiaoqing himself was not sitting in the front row.

The big screen showed a picture that suited the situation. Qing Yun was sitting in a box. When he saw the screen cut over, he greeted everyone with a smile.

It looked like it was the second floor of the center of the venue, and sitting next to Mr. Xiaoqing were a group of old men with white beards.

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't know what to say.

Especially people in the business world, they understand it very well.

After all, there are a lot of leaders.

Even sitting next to Qing Yun were Ms. Wu, deputy director of the Sixth Ministry, and Jiang Shangzhou, leader of the National Major Project Promotion Group.

In this case, as the chairman of Yanhuang Group, Qing Yun must go to receive him.

However, many people who were looking forward to hearing Qing Yun’s passionate speech felt a little disappointed, and some were even ready to boo.

You know, Mr. Yanhuang Xiaoqing is famous for his bold and outspoken style. Every public speech of his attracts huge attention, and many people even think it is a pleasure.

What's more, many college students came to the press conference, and they came just to see Qing Yun, the idol representative of this young man.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that the college students, who made up the largest number of people at the scene, did not even make a fuss.

Their eyes revealed curiosity and respect, as if they were waiting for something.

At this time, even Cheng Tianqiao, the head of Shengda Network, felt a little puzzled.

He sat in another box, looking down at the press conference, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Someone close to him who knew the situation answered that Luo Yonghao was the most famous teacher at Xindongfang. His lectures were very popular among college students. Someone even compiled a book called "Lao Luo's Quotations". He holds a high status in the hearts of young people.

Of course, the insider was Ding Sanshi, the Internet troublemaker.

As an Internet tycoon, Ding Sanshi is well aware that Luo Yonghao is not just a teacher, but also an opinion leader with a deep mass base.

His appearance undoubtedly added a bit of mystery and expectation to the press conference.

The founder of Li Ning Company, Li Ning, who was sitting next to them, looked thoughtfully at the young man's face on the big screen. After a while, he followed the crowd and applauded.

He understood some truths too late, and this kid...

A beam of light from the spotlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the way to the front stage.

Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Yonghao walked to the front, his steps firm and calm.

He stood in front of the microphone with his hands behind his back and began to speak to himself, "Sorry, I'm a little excited."

His voice echoed in the venue, attracting everyone's attention.

However, just this catchphrase of Lao Luo livened up the atmosphere, and the college students in the audience and in front of the TV all laughed unconsciously.

"I originally thought that if I stood here, you would throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at me and tell me to go down and ask Xiaoqing to come up."

Luo Yonghao blinked his eyes at the audience with a confident smile on his face. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and exaggeratedly gestured the shapes of eggs and tomatoes.

He glanced at the audience and said, "I've prepared for this. I asked the staff to prepare a hanger with shoes, pants, and shirts. I thought I could come back looking brand new in 60 seconds."

As he spoke, he imitated the action of quickly changing clothes, causing the audience to burst into laughter again.

Amidst the laughter, he continued after a few seconds, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice, “It’s well known that I used to be a lousy teacher.

Two months ago, due to various unspeakable reasons, I was forced to resign from Xindongfang. "

He paused deliberately to give the audience time to digest his words, "Attention! It's resignation! Not leaving, nor dismissal! Resignation is a proactive behavior, and because of this, I received less compensation.

At the same time, it was the end of December, and if you resign at this time, you will not receive a year-end bonus.”

He shook his head, as if recalling that experience, and tapped his temple with his fingers, pretending to be thinking.

“There’s nothing you can do about it. Anyone who has listened to my lectures knows that there are always times in life when you step on poop.

Sometimes I feel a little bit sick, but you can’t be bothered with poop, we are proud of it.”

Luo Yonghao's words resonated with the audience, many of whom had experienced similar setbacks and injustices, but his attitude and words gave them the strength and courage to recall the original scene with trembling.

Luo Yonghao went on to say, "Just when I was about to go home, Xiaoqing came to the door of Xindongfang's classroom and found me, asking me to join Yanhuang Group to do product experience."

His voice gradually became excited: "I didn't rush to answer at the time. I asked Mr. Xiaoqing why Yanhuang Group's consumer products have not been released yet. As consumers, how long do we have to wait?"

This sentence aroused applause and laughter from everyone.

I have to say this question is too classic.

In 2003, there was a famous joke in the IT industry: Yanhuang Group, which represents young people, did not have any products for young people.

At this time, Luo Yonghao put his hands behind his back and continued to speak in his unique style of a deadpan comedian, "Actually, I asked this question at the time just because I wanted to say a few more words to Xiaoqing."

The audience kept laughing.

"But you know what the best thing is when you get fired by your boss?"

Facing the stunned crowd, Luo Yonghao smiled and said, "That is when a boss who is far more famous and successful than your former boss personally came to you when you were about to leave the office in disgrace with your file box, and when your former boss and former colleagues invited you to join a greater company.

You can imagine how happy I felt at that time.”

The audience responded with laughter, followed by thunderous applause.

"And do you know what Xiao Qing always answered me at that time? He said...

It takes a little time for the true light to be seen by others, just like you."

Luo Yonghao imitated Qing Yun's tone, making the audience laugh. At the same time, he stretched out his index finger and thumb, indicating the distance of "a little bit".

Then he put his hands behind his back, turned sideways, and recreated the original scene to the air, "I say, aren't you being a hooligan?"

“He said it takes 8 minutes for us to see the light from the sun;

It takes 4 hours to see the light emitted by Neptune;
It will take at least 2.4 years to see light from the edge of the Milky Way;

It would take 139 billion years to see the light from the most distant star in the universe.

All light takes time to be seen, it is the same for me and you too."

At this point, Luo Yonghao spread his hands and said, "What else can I say? What else can I say?
Can I say, Mr. Xiaoqing, you are wrong? According to the latest data, it will take 280 billion years for the light of the farthest star from the earth to be seen by us? "

The whole audience was laughing so hard that they almost died, and the people in front of the TV were also laughing so hard that they were falling down.

At this time, Luo Yonghao's skills as a deadpan comedian were activated again.

He sniffed as he laughed, and spread his hands, making a helpless yet hopeful gesture.
"I think what he said makes sense! For a rare man like me, it takes some time for people to see my light!

But joining the Yanhuang Group can shorten this time.

Why am I so sure that the Yanhuang Group will make me successful?
Because Mr. Xiaoqing also said something. He said that in the struggle between the ideal group and the interest group, the ideal group will ultimately win.

But now Ideal Group doesn’t have enough people and they need me to join.

So, today I stand here.

The flowers of idealism will eventually bloom in the fields of romanticism!"

As Luo Yonghao finished his words, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
