I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

Lin Ran wore an elegant and appropriate dark gray suit, which made his height of over 1.8 meters appear even more upright.

He held the microphone in one hand and his phone in the other, the screen displaying the "People Nearby" interface on Momo.

Young, so young it's enviable.

This was the first reaction of the audience.

But this youthfulness doesn't make him seem immature. The rhythm of his walk, his posture, and the smooth way he picks up the microphone all make you feel that this person shouldn't be only eighteen years old.

The female media professionals in the front row stared at Lin Ran's figure, their eyes somewhat dazed, as if they were seeing their first love when they were teenagers in high school, but their first love did not have this kind of composed aura.

Ye Li rubbed her eyes backstage, trying to clear her head, constantly telling herself that the person on stage was a dog...

On stage, Lin Ran glanced at the reactions of the people below and thought to himself that he was indeed a dragon among men.

Fortunately, he cut his scenes, otherwise, with his looks and acting skills that rival Daniel Wu, he would have captivated countless fans.

After the applause subsided slightly, he slowly began to speak:

"The story in the video was all true."

He paused for a moment: "These people are all users of Momo. The father would take a photo and post it on his status every day; the girl who went grocery shopping and the young man who rode an electric bike got together in real life."

"The girl who was being followed now greets the convenience store clerk every day on her way to and from get off work."

"The last father's son and the young man who saved the man started a business together, and now they are both on the right track."

Many people in the audience smiled knowingly.

Lin Ran stepped forward, his gaze sweeping across the room: "Some people say that Momo is a hookup app."

He shrugged, his expression utterly nonchalant: "I admit, you can definitely use it for dating."

A murmur of understanding rippled through the audience once again.

"But you can also use it to help people, save people, and bring warmth to others. You can use it to find your savior within 100 meters, or you can use it to cross 237 kilometers and knock on a door for your father far away."

He held up his phone: "Technology is innocent, tools are neither good nor evil, it is the users who are judged."

He bowed slightly.

"Thank you everyone. I am Lin Ran, the founder of Momo."

The applause rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.

Lin Ran looked at the reporters in the media area: "What I'm about to say might be a bit intense, so please be gentle when you're writing your articles."

A group of media professionals chuckled; now they no longer felt that 360's press conference was a waste of its potential.

"As media professionals, you all know better than I how much criticism Momo has received lately. Hookup app, vulgar social networking, hormone economy..."

"To put it nicely, we're a new way of socializing; to put it bluntly, we're just an online brothel."

Someone in the audience couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Ran still had a smile on his face, but his tone was slightly more serious:

"To be honest, I'm too lazy to dwell on who's stirring things up behind the scenes, but things have developed to this point, and I believe everyone, like me, would find it hard to believe that our competitors weren't involved."

"So on this stage, I only have one sentence to say."

The entire room fell silent, with only the red lights on the cameras flashing intermittently.

Lin Ran looked at the camera and said, word by word:

"Our competitors are idiots."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

A large group of reporters in the media area were stunned. They had attended hundreds of press conferences, witnessed all kinds of arguments and veiled sarcasm, but they had never seen anyone stand on stage, face the camera, and directly utter those two words.

However, Lin Ran didn't give them time to react.

His tone remained calm: "I'm not referring to any one competitor, but to all of them, every single one, including those present here, they're all idiots."

Some of the audience members who were with him started to look strange. Damn it, he thought he shouldn't have come. He was just there to watch a press conference and he got yelled at.

"You criticize Momo as a hookup app, fine, I'll take that as my opinion, but don't you have any self-awareness about what you've made? You copy this and that, and in the end you've forgotten what you're really like."

Some people in the audience started to applaud.

Lin Ran's lips curled up slightly: "But it's okay, I'm not here to curse people today, but to show you all something new."

The large screen lit up again.

"Momo will be launching four more features soon."

"First, location spoofing, as introduced in the previous short video, allows you to virtually teleport yourself to any location..."

"Secondly, anonymous phone matching. The system will randomly match you with a stranger's phone number. You can chat for five minutes, and if you get along well, you can add each other as friends..."

"Third, message in a bottle..."

Fourth, shake it...

After explaining the four functions, Lin Ran took a step back and looked at the audience with a smile: "Each of these four functions, taken out individually, could be made into a new app."

The audience was somewhat quiet. Some people looked bewildered and whispered to the person next to them, "What does that mean?"

Lin Ran heard this and laughed as he replied, "What I mean is, I could have started four companies, raised four rounds of funding, and scammed four waves of investors, but I didn't. Instead, I put them all into one app."

He looked heartbroken: "Do you know how much I've lost out?"

The audience burst into laughter.

Ye Li's eyes lit up backstage. Yes, yes, that's the feeling!

After the laughter subsided, Lin Ran continued, "But it's okay, we'll just lose money, but I'll bet—"

"Within the next six months, Momo will definitely be copied by all its competitors."

"Especially the 'People Nearby' feature on Momo. In the next few years, all social media apps will have this feature, and then they will say that they developed it themselves and that it has nothing to do with Momo."

He shrugged, looking completely innocent. "What can I do? I'm helpless too."

Then he shrugged: "Whatever, let them copy. They're all idiots anyway."

The audience burst into laughter, applause rang out, and whistles could be heard.

Lin Ran pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the laughter gradually subsided.

He looked at the media people laughing uproariously below the stage, at the audience still clapping, and at the few colleagues in the corner with complex expressions, and suddenly felt like laughing.

"Some people are saying, 'President Lin, President Lin, others are bullying you like this, slandering you and plagiarizing you. Aren't you going to fight back at all?'"

Lin Ran leaned closer to the microphone and lowered his voice: "Yes, brothers, yes."

"Today we are officially declaring war on Tencent, the biggest leader in the social networking field."

The audience erupted in commotion again, but they were quickly drawn to the content on the screen.

A new logo appeared on the big screen in a flash.

Long-time employees of 108 know that this was one of the alternative logos for Momo.
