Chapter 220: Thirty Years in Hedong
As Mr. Lin finished speaking, the grayed-out phone icon in the Core Creation Mall turned colorful again.
At the same time, a number of seven hundred thousand appeared beneath it.
However, this number only stayed for three seconds before it began to rapidly decrease.
Sixteen seconds later, the entire seven hundred thousand Core phones were sold out once more.
Fortunately, everyone had already witnessed the previous speed, so this time they were less shocked.
In fact, they would have been surprised if it hadn't happened this way.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, I would like to ask a question."
Just after seventy thousand Core phones were instantly sold out again, Shire, who was ignored earlier by Mr. Lin, spoke up once more.
But this time, she raised her hand waiting for Mr. Lin's response.
Seeing this, Mr. Lin couldn't help but smile:
"Heh, making progress, huh? Go ahead and ask, but I only have time for one question."
Without minding whether Mr. Lin was teasing her or not, Shire stood up after hearing she could ask, and, with an extremely angry expression, directly questioned Mr. Lin in her not-so-fluent Mandarin:
"Mr. Lin, it's one thing for the prices to differ, but why did you only put eighty thousand phones on the shelves for yourselves while only offering five thousand to us overseas?
I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, I will consider this blatant discrimination!"
Her words were impassioned, forceful, and there's no doubt she perfectly portrayed the arrogance of a foreigner.
However, following her words, people in the Core live stream immediately started lashing out.
The Autumn Wind: "What's this foreign woman complaining about? You should be grateful for getting five thousand units, I strongly suggest Mr. Lin should transfer all five thousand units to us! If you agree with me, press 1!"
As soon as someone took the lead, the screen was filled with messages suggesting Mr. Lin transfer the five thousand units to them.
Mr. Lin naturally noticed this scene in the live stream, so he turned to survey the sales situation in the Core Creation Mall.
Huaxia Edition: 0 Overseas Edition: 2863
Seeing that there were still nearly three thousand left, Mr. Lin simply waved his hand and said to Li Zirui in front of a laptop:
"Take the overseas version off the shelves, and put it on the Huaxia version. Change the built-in English later, and ship them to everyone."
As soon as these words came out, Shire was stunned and then became visibly furious, questioning Mr. Lin loudly why he did so!
In the live stream with sixty million viewers, everyone burst into laughter, as the screen filled with messages like 'Great Huaxia Mighty, Defiant Mr. Lin!'
If Mr. Lin hadn't disabled the tipping feature in the live stream, gifts would've probably filled the screen by now!
Although Mr. Lin's actions seemed childish to the big shots present, they had no choice but to acknowledge it.
But still, not a single Huaxia reporter at the scene or any Huaxia individuals outside didn't cheer in their hearts!
At this moment, onlookers who were merely joining the excitement were instantly turned into loyal 'Core fans'.
"Who the hell do you think you are, questioning us? Our stuff, we'll sell if we want to, and if not, well, you can't do anything!"
Seeing the slightly crazed female reporter below, Yang Baoping, the security captain of Nuclear Technology, came over with two female security guards without waiting for Mr. Lin's instruction.
Seeing this, the female reporter threw her work badge on the ground angrily without needing to be escorted and said,
"Fine! You will pay for your arrogance, humph! Might as well let you know, I am more than just a reporter for the New York Times!"
With that, she left the conference room without looking back.
And Yang Baoping, along with the two female security guards, closely followed her out.
After the woman left, Li Zirui's bitter chuckle came through the micro earpiece in Mr. Lin's ear:
"Boss, I just checked that woman's identity, Tramp Shire, head of Microsoft's publicity department. She probably came here this time with a reporter's identity to probe us. We're in trouble now..."
Listening to this voice in his earpiece, Mr. Lin's lips slightly curled upwards.
Didn't expect this person to actually be Microsoft's publicity head. Seems like being at Microsoft for so long, she's lost sight of her position.
Although you used to be the leader of the internet, Nuclear Technology has now risen, and bringing you down is just a matter of time.
If you're eager to dig your own grave, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Especially recalling their past act of stopping the XP system updates for Huaxia, a cold smile crossed Mr. Lin's heart.
Three decades east, three decades west. In the past, you looked down on Huaxia's internet, but soon Huaxia will be beyond your reach!
