Chapter 303 Maple Leaf Press Conference

When they woke up the next day, Fang Hexuan and Lizhi had another round of fierce battle. It was a thrilling battle and a good start for a beautiful day.

While having breakfast together, Lizhi drank some milk and didn't notice the milk stains on her lips, so Mr. Fang used the excuse to give her a passionate kiss.

After their lips parted, Fang Hexuan smacked his lips, pretending to enjoy the taste, which made Lizhi feel shy and wanted to laugh.

Generally speaking, women who have just had their first sex will have some psychological barriers or insecurities afterwards, but Lizhi did not show any of this.

However, as an experienced driver, Fang Hexuan comforted her in a warm manner:
"Azhi, I'll take you to Zhongda University later. After noon, I have to fly to the United States. I may have to stay abroad for a few days. Don't worry, I will call you if I miss you!"

Lizhi took the initiative to hold his big hand and nodded obediently.

"Yeah, I'll miss you too!"

Maple Leaf's first new product launch was held on July 7th, Pacific Time, United States.

In order to make the press conference grand and grand, Maple Leaf Company spent a huge amount of money.

Hundreds of investors, company founders, CEOs from Seattle, Silicon Valley, and Texas, as well as heads of more than a dozen medium and large financial institutions on Wall Street in the East, and many officials from California accepted the invitation.

In addition, Fang Hexuan also used his personal connections to invite many popular Hollywood movie stars to help.

The White House bigwig, Vice President George Bush, who had promised Maple Leaf's CEO Julian, also agreed to come and show his support.

In addition to inviting celebrities, Maple Leaf also paid NBC, the largest broadcaster in the United States, to record the entire press conference live.

In addition, many mainstream media newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Post, etc. will be on site for interviews.

Because it is of great commemorative significance, Fang Hexuan also asked DreamWorks Films to send a film crew to Los Angeles in advance to prepare to shoot the entire process before and after the press conference.

Who knows, one day in the future, when he wants to make a biopic about himself, he may need to use the video footage of these historical moments.

In Fang Hexuan's opinion, although this press conference of Maple Leaf Company cannot be said to be unprecedented, it is definitely unprecedented.

Because so far, even looking at the entire American technology industry, no one has made such a big move to launch a new product.

The most glorious moment for everyone may be attending the CES exhibition, when their own products are suddenly sought after and applauded by the audience.

Even a high-tech company like IBM, which is well known to the American people, would not use such extravagant means when launching new products.

Perhaps only Howard Hughes, the former technology tycoon and Hollywood mogul, would do this when launching his company's new models and new movies, but the scale of publicity is certainly not comparable to that of today.

Precisely because of his great ambition, Fang Hexuan decided to rush to Silicon Valley in advance, both to supervise the preparations and to scout the area in advance.

He set off from Kai Tak Airport in the afternoon and arrived in San Francisco at two o'clock in the morning of the next day. He then drove for another hour before finally arriving in Silicon Valley.

He didn't sleep for long, and at eight in the morning, he had breakfast with CEO Julian, who rushed to his hotel.

"Julian, have you arranged for someone to confirm the invited guests?"

Julian wiped his lips with a napkin and nodded.
"Boss, don't worry, we have thought of all this. Currently, only the CEOs or founders of two companies are unable to attend the meeting due to urgent matters. We have also made arrangements in advance."

Fang Hexuan smiled with satisfaction:

"You are so thoughtful. This press conference is very important to Maple Leaf Computer. It is also our first battle to gain popularity in the North American market. We cannot afford to lose!" Julian promised solemnly:
"I will go to the company for another meeting later to reconfirm all the procedures and make sure there are no omissions."

Fang Hexuan nodded, but added:

"We also need to keep communicating with Jiang Guoyong. The retail sales after the press conference will be a test for us."

"Of course. Jiang and I have people answering our phones 24 hours a day. We can discuss and find solutions to any problems in a timely manner."

After breakfast, Fang Hexuan first went to Maple Leaf Company with Julian. After attending their temporary mobilization meeting, he went to the press conference site again.

Instead of choosing a hotel, Maple Leaf decided to hold the entire press conference at a local gymnasium in Silicon Valley.

The stadium is not particularly large, but all the decorations have been prepared for tomorrow's press conference.

It includes everything, including stage, lights, carpets, colorful flags, banners, giant advertisements, etc.

After inspecting the site, he also went to Maple Leaf's only physical store, which is also the official flagship store.

Since there are not many product varieties at present, it is not suitable for opening stores on a large scale.

Maple Leaf's computers and accessories are basically sold in cooperating retail stores and home appliance stores.

In this regard, Apple is currently far superior to it.

The flagship store was located in a newly opened shopping mall on Stevens Creek Boulevard near Cupertino. Unlike Apple in later generations, it did not build a separate glass store in a busy area of ​​the city.

The decoration of the store is also in accordance with Fang Hexuan's requirements, trying to be simple yet full of technological elements.

The area inside is over 600 square meters, of which the exhibition hall is 400 square meters, and the warehouse and maintenance area together are 200 square meters.

The style of the exhibition hall looks very modern at first glance, and at the same time it feels as if you are in a spaceship, just like the shocking feeling of the interior of the mothership in "Star Wars".

There are not many furnishings in the hall. Apart from a cash register, there are only 12 oak wooden tables. It looks very empty, but gives people a very comfortable experience, especially with the lighting and the surrounding decoration style. The more you look at it, the stronger the feeling becomes.

That’s right, this flagship store imitates the interior decoration and design style of Apple’s own stores in later generations, because Fang Hexuan really likes it.

On each of the 12 large oak tables were placed two of Maple Leaf's first personal computers, arranged in an orderly manner without interfering with each other.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

The store has a standard staff of 30 people, both men and women, but mostly white people.

They wore the same solid-color T-shirts with a white maple leaf logo printed on the chest.

It is said that employees wear different T-shirts every day of the week. Today it is blue, and tomorrow it may be green or red.

Fang Hexuan personally talked to everyone and asked them about their thoughts and opinions on the decoration and management of the store.

Overall, this kind of copying and imitation, at least so far, makes him feel that it is quite decent.
