Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 316

The General Manager was still busy in a meeting, so only his secretary answered.

The Qin manager immediately went online. Before he could even search for Ye Corporation, his attention was captured by the top headlines.

[“E-Phone Set to Sweep the Globe! The Phone That Even Shocked the National Academy of Sciences – Are You Sure You Don’t Want One?”]

He instantly clicked through to the sales platform and saw at a glance that E-Phone’s pre-orders had already broken into the platform’s top ten!

He then found the in-stock sales chart. The initial ten thousand units had actually sold out within a day and a half.

The manager scrolled through the comments below. Some users had directly uploaded examples of the holographic projection.

Out of the ten thousand people who bought it, there were over nine thousand comments, almost every one of them lengthy and detailed.

Not a single negative review!

Furthermore, the hundred thousand pre-orders had already reached over fifty thousand, and this was in less than a day.

The manager finally realized, belatedly, that E-Phone was a hit!

Seeing how the Orange Phone launch had flopped, he also recognized that E-Phone was likely the next device to lead a new global era for mobile phones!

With these sales figures and customer reactions, it was only a matter of time before E-Phone became a massive phenomenon.

“I should have noticed this yesterday!” the manager lamented to the General Manager as soon as he got on the phone, chastising himself. “I shouldn’t have looked down on the Ye and Ning Families just because they wanted to break into the phone industry.”

Now, if you opened the internet, it was flooded with news about the E-Phone, jointly developed by the Ye and Ning Families.

Even national research teams were hoping to leverage this technology.

Experts who hadn’t managed to buy a unit were trying to purchase them at high prices from those who had, desperate to study the technology.

The manager saw a post from a very well-known academician from A University: [“E-Phone is a significant milestone heralding a new era. I have renewed hope for our country’s future. Enough talk, I’m off to queue to buy one!”]

Almost everyone who knew about E-Phone had nothing but praise for it.

“We must get in touch with the Ye Family,” the General Manager commanded directly. “Applying this technology to films would absolutely amaze everyone. Contact Ning Tao and get him to connect you with the Ye Family!”

The Qin manager was thinking the same thing.

But by now, E-Phone was already known to companies everywhere.

Nearly every tech company wanted to collaborate with the Ye Family!

Trying to reach Ye Shaohua at this point was easier said than done. The Qin manager had no choice but to contact Ning Tao to reach Ye Shaohua.

“I’ll have to liaise with Miss Ye about this,” Ning Tao wasn’t surprised by the Qin manager’s call, but he didn’t give a definite answer. “She’s been quite busy recently. Whether she’ll take your call, I don’t know.”

“That’s fine, just as long as you can pass the message along,” the Qin manager said, his attitude very deferential.

After Ning Tao hung up, the Qin manager sat by his phone, unable to focus on company documents. He had someone immediately purchase an E-Phone for research.

The initial price of E-Phone was just over four thousand.

The price they paid to buy one from a reseller had already been driven up to twelve thousand!

And it was still rising online.

The Qin manager sighed, then picked up his own cup and started examining the E-Phone, wanting to see if the phone was truly as mind-blowing as netizens claimed.

When he saw the cup perfectly projected onto the sofa opposite him, he was utterly stunned.

A subordinate who entered was startled by the sight of a steaming cup seemingly suspended in mid-air. “M-Manager Qin… how is that cup floating in the air? Did… did you put it there when the air wasn’t looking?”

Holographic projection. Even without a shadow on the ground, it looked incredibly real.

The Qin manager waved his hand. “That’s a hologram. Come in.”

Even after the manager’s explanation, the subordinate still walked carefully around the projected cup.

The Qin manager looked at the projected cup and banged his head on the desk again, wishing he could go back to the day Ye Shaohua and the others had approached him. If he had known then what he knew now, he wouldn’t have hesitated for a second.

Ye Shaohua finished teaching a decoding segment to the tech department before heading out, planning to go to school.

The college entrance exams were approaching. People from both the Ye and Ning families urged her to take a few days off to rest.

While they were confident the exams would be easy for Ye Shaohua, they were still important.

“Manager Qin wants to speak with me?” Ye Shaohua hadn’t checked the online situation since the E-Phone pre-orders went live. Hearing Ning Tao’s description, she was also surprised. “Is the holographic projection really that impressive?”

She had anticipated that the appearance of holographic projection would shock ordinary people.

But she hadn’t expected them to be this astonished.

The hundred thousand pre-orders were completely snapped up by the second night.

“My dear lady, don’t you realize,” Ning Tao was defeated by Ye Shaohua’s surprised expression, “experts both abroad and domestically are all studying your new technology. You really are…”

He remembered their first meeting and Ye Shaohua’s comment, “3D imaging is quite impressive,” which he had mocked at the time.

The memory made Ning Tao wish he could bury himself in a hole.

“I see. Give me Manager Qin’s number,” Ye Shaohua nodded.

Manager Qin hadn’t done much all evening, just cradled his phone waiting for Ye Shaohua’s call. When it finally rang, he nearly knocked the cup off his desk.

“Miss Ye, about the overseas distribution rights for E-Phone…” Manager Qin asked politely and gently.

Ye Shaohua chuckled. “The sales platform signed a contract with me this morning. My apologies, Manager Qin.”

Although he had expected it, actually hearing that Ye Shaohua had given the distribution rights to someone else was a deep disappointment for Manager Qin!

He could imagine the immense advantage in technology their company would have gained by collaborating with the Ye Family.

They could have even dominated the overseas market!

Manager Qin was filled with utter regret!

“Miss Ye, if you ever have any needs, please feel free to contact us anytime,” he continued in a calm and courteous tone.

Ye Shaohua gave a light laugh: “Alright.”

Meanwhile, due to the comparison with E-Phone, Orange Phone sales in China stalled completely. People weren’t short of money, but with the superior option available, how could they settle for the more expensive Orange Phone that couldn’t even match E-Phone’s performance?

Devastated by the result, Gao Heng called Dice, asking if there was a problem with their technology.

Dice, abandoning his usual polite and gentle demeanor, reprimanded him over the phone. “Sales? With holographic technology already out there, what sales did you think your 3D tech would get?! This E-Phone clearly uses Y’s holographic projection tech. She originally agreed to provide the technology to Orange Phone, but now her phone is unreachable! She had someone relay a message that it was because of you that she revoked the license. Now that we’ve lost so much money, are you satisfied?!”
