Chapter 22 The Tech Godfather and His Iron-Fisted Queen
Those words struck the silent auditorium without eliciting a single echo.
Nearly a hundred reporters and countless viewers in live broadcast rooms were stunned into a three-second collective freeze by this overly bland yet earth-shattering announcement.
A female student?
A female student who was just backstage and looked like an assistant at most is now standing here, claiming to be the CEO of Zero Boundary Technology, the company that has overturned the edifice of physics.
What an absurd joke!
"boom!"
Three seconds later, the air at the scene was instantly ignited.
All the reporters went crazy. They pushed aside the people in front of them and frantically thrust their cameras forward, almost poking Su Wanqing in the face.
The problems came rushing in like a flood that had burst its banks.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Bai Che?"
What is the equity structure of Zero Boundary Technology? Are you one of the founders?
"Is this Bai Che's own statement, or just your unilateral declaration?"
However, the first person to clearly articulate the issue to everyone, in an arrogantly scrutinizing tone, was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a Wall Street Journal reporter's badge around his neck.
He asked a very sharp and trap-filled question in fluent Chinese.
"Miss Su, I'll call you that for now."
He deliberately dragged out his words, making no attempt to conceal his contempt.
"As a newly established and promising technology company, would ZeroBoundary Technology consider accepting investment from the United States? For example, from Apple or Tesla? I think they would be very happy to offer you a price that the whole world would find irresistible."
This is an extremely malicious question.
It elevates a technological issue to the level of choosing sides between capital and nations.
To agree is to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, or to invite a wolf into the house.
To refuse is to close oneself off from the world and become an enemy of global capital.
For a company that has just been established and whose foundation is not yet solid, no matter how it answers, it is a dead end.
In a corner backstage, Wang Tao's heart leaped into his throat, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Oh no, those foreign devils are so mean! They're bullying us!
All the cameras of the domestic reporters were pointed at Su Wanqing's aloof face, waiting for her answer.
Su Wanqing remained completely calm.
She didn't even look at the reporter who asked the question.
Her gaze slowly swept over all the reporters from the Dragon Kingdom's media holding cameras below the stage, and then, in a voice clearer and more resolute than before, loud enough to resonate throughout the entire auditorium, she gave her answer.
"First, please address me as President Su."
Her opening remarks made the Wall Street Journal reporter freeze.
"Secondly, Zero Boundary Technology has no plans for open financing at this stage, nor in the foreseeable future."
She paused, each word spoken with conviction.
"Our technology belongs first and foremost to the Dragon Kingdom."
In a word.
A simple sentence, yet it struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of all the journalists from China.
A surge of scalding heat shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!
What is vision?
What does it mean to take responsibility?
When faced with offers from the world's top investors—offers that would drive any entrepreneur crazy—this excessively young girl, this CEO who had been in office for less than five minutes, gave a decisive and resolute answer, not a vague and ambiguous response.
It belongs to the Dragon Kingdom!
"good!"
In the crowd, one of the passionate young reporters couldn't help but shout out.
This roar completely ignited the emotions of all the domestic media present.
"Mr. Su is right!"
"Support ZeroBoundary Technology! Support domestic products!"
The reporters, who had just been questioning Su Wanqing's identity, now had their doubts completely washed away by a tremendous sense of national pride and identity.
The way they looked at Su Wanqing had completely changed.
It was no longer a scrutiny of a pretty female student, but a tribute to a respectable entrepreneur with a strong sense of national responsibility.
The Wall Street Journal reporter was stunned by the sudden outcry. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but found that no one cared about him anymore.
A reporter from a domestic financial channel seized the next opportunity to ask a question. His question was equally pointed, but his starting point was completely different.
"President Su! We all know that just now, Lei Dong of Tianxing Motors has already made a hasty exit, and their stock price has already triggered a circuit breaker in pre-market trading. In your opinion, what does the emergence of ZeroJet Technology mean for the entire domestic new energy vehicle market? Is it a devastating blow?"
This question is also difficult to answer.
Saying "yes" sounds aggressive and makes too many enemies.
Saying "no" would contradict the facts and appear hypocritical.
Su Wanqing remained calm.
Her cool, phoenix-shaped eyes swept over the reporter who asked the question, and then she said something that made everyone take notice.
"We respect every colleague who is exploring the field of new energy, including Tianxing Motors."
"Zero Boundary Technology's goal has never been to defeat or replace anyone."
She slightly raised her chin, exuding an aura of strategic decision-making beyond her years.
"Our goal is to lead a completely new energy revolution. In this wave of revolution, Zero Boundary Technology welcomes all companies willing to embrace the future to engage in any form of technological cooperation and discussion with us."
Watertight.
It has a grand vision.
It not only highlighted its unshakeable leading position, but also demonstrated its open attitude of being willing to share technology and work together to expand the market.
These words made the other car company representatives in the audience, who were originally just there to watch the show or even hoped that Tianxing Motors would suffer, start to breathe rapidly.
Cooperation?
To them, this word was nothing short of heavenly music!
The ensuing Q&A session completely turned into a solo performance by Su Wanqing.
"Mr. Su, what are the core technical parameters of the flexible battery?"
"I'm sorry, this involves trade secrets and I cannot comment. I can only say that it is sufficient to support the energy revolution we just mentioned."
"President Su, why did Mr. Bai Che leave early? Did he disdain facing the media?"
"Chairman Bai is Zero Boundary Technology's most valuable asset. His time should be spent in the lab, not wasted under the spotlight. I can handle things like press conferences."
"Mr. Su, what will be Zero Boundary Technology's next product?"
"Please follow our official channels. Zero Boundary Technology will not let you down with any of its steps."
She has a clear and logical mind, and can always handle all kinds of tricky questions with ease.
She never discussed any specific technical details, but through her resolute declarations, she deeply imprinted the image of Zero Boundary Technology as "professional," "powerful," "patriotic," and "leading the future" into everyone's minds.
The reporters in the audience went from initial disdain to shock, and finally to heartfelt admiration in less than ten minutes.
Everyone realized that this woman was definitely not just a pretty face.
She was the most indestructible captain Bai Che found for his technologically advanced aircraft carrier that was about to crash into the old world!
Wang Tao stood to the side of the stage, completely dumbfounded.
His mouth was agape, his phone still clutched in his hand, his mind completely blank.
Awesome...
It's so arrogant!
If Bai Che's awesomeness is something inhuman, godlike, and something that people can only look up to and worship, then...
So Su Wanqing's awesomeness is a realistic, powerful kind of awesomeness that makes people willingly submit and feel incredibly at ease!
Brother Che is responsible for creating miracles, while Sister-in-law... no, President Su, is responsible for bringing miracles to earth!
He subconsciously swiped his phone screen, and his Bilibili inbox was already exploding with private messages and mentions.
He clicked on the trending posts and saw a photo at the very top, even more popular than "Lei Zong is having dinner".
That was the photo the photographer had taken earlier, "The Back View of the New World".
In the photo, Bai Che walks leisurely into the darkness with his hands in his pockets.
Behind him, under the spotlight, stood Su Wanqing, her figure cold and resolute, facing the world's madness alone.
The title of this photo has been changed countless times by netizens.
The Godfather of Technology and His Iron-Fisted Queen.
The comments section below completely veered off-topic.
"Holy crap! This couple vibe is off the charts! What an amazing combination!"
"You're in charge of using technology to destroy the world, and I'll be in charge of standing behind you and taking all the bullets from the world! Kneel down! Kneel down to your death!"
"The summary upstairs is perfect! 'You're responsible for changing the world, and I'm responsible for protecting it for you.' We CP fans have already come up with our slogan!"
"Zero Boundary Technology? I think it's a husband-and-wife business! One person invests their technology, and the other offers themselves in return! It's so sweet!"
Looking at these raunchy words, and then at the imposing figure in the center of the stage who commanded the attention of all the reporters, Wang Tao couldn't help but shudder.
He silently locked his phone.
These netizens are still too young and don't know what respect is.
This woman is clearly a hundred times more terrifying than Che Ge, that tech geek!
Finally, after the last question was answered perfectly, Su Wanqing nodded slightly to the audience.
"This concludes today's Q&A session. Thank you all."
After saying that, she turned around and walked off the stage without any hesitation, leaving everyone with the same resolute back view as in the photo.
She succeeded.
She won the first public opinion battle for Zero Boundary Technology.
After passing through the noisy crowd and the messy backstage area, Su Wanqing finally relaxed when the air, mixed with sweat and fervor, was shut out by the heavy backstage doors.
She leaned against the cold wall and let out a long breath.
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion instantly swept over her, and her legs felt weak.
But her heart was filled with an unprecedented, immense sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
She did it.
She shielded him from this crazy world.
She leaned against the wall, turned a corner, and prepared to leave through a side door.
Then, she stopped.
In the shadows around the corner, a person was leaning lazily against the wall.
It's Bai Che.
He didn't go far.
He was holding a can of Coke that he had somehow gotten his hands on, still steaming cold. When he saw her coming, he casually handed her the Coke.
The cool can, pressed against her sweaty, burning palms from nervousness, jolted her back to her senses.
Bai Che looked at her face, still flushed from excitement, and spoke in his usual calm yet slightly teasing tone.
"President Su."
"You must be tired from working overtime."
He pointed to the Coke in her hand.
"Here, overtime pay."
