Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Smartphone Intelligent Assistant Software
Lu Feng returned to the real world, left the warehouse, and drove back to his villa.
Upon entering Tianzhou City, he was surprised to see an advertisement on the large outdoor screen of a bank building:
"The Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker uses the latest in electromagnetic technology to make rice that is sweeter, more delicious, and exceptionally soft..."
It was an ad for the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker.
This was clearly Master Kai’s handiwork. Besides, getting an appliance ad on a bank’s outdoor screen was sometimes even more effective than a TV commercial.
In the eyes of most people, banks were trustworthy institutions.
At that moment, Yang Lin’s call came in. "President Lu, our Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cookers have gone on sale, and you won’t believe how well they’re selling! We’ve already sold 50,000 units in a short time, all at 20,000 a piece. Master Kai really knows his stuff!"
Lu Feng nodded casually.
When Master Kai had first suggested selling them for 20,000, Lu Feng had thought the price might be too high. But now, just after the launch, they had already sold 50,000 units, generating a full billion in revenue.
This just went to show that he still didn’t understand business well enough.
「Tianzhou City.」
The Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker was indeed selling like crazy.
Inside a luxury appliance store.
A middle-aged woman, draped in designer brands and clearly wealthy, walked in and immediately said to the salesperson, "What are your most expensive kitchen appliances? I’ll take a full set."
She had just bought another house.
What could she do? A woman in her middle age has certain needs, and it was inevitable she’d pick up a couple of young boyfriends.
Once you have young boyfriends, you have to find a place for them. So, she bought a house, and now it needed a new set of appliances.
This new boyfriend was particularly good at cooking.
Seriously, it was so thrilling when he cooked and f—d her at the same time.
The salesperson, realizing this was a major client, immediately began her pitch, listing off one appliance after another. Finally, she said, "As for the most expensive rice cooker, that would be the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker. It sells for 20,000!"
"20,000?" The wealthy woman was taken aback.
After all, the most expensive of the other appliances she’d mentioned was only 10,000, and those were from the biggest, most famous brands on the market.
She had never even heard of this Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker, yet it dared to ask for 20,000?
The salesperson clearly anticipated the woman’s skepticism and quickly added, "Ma’am, we happen to have some rice made with the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker right here. You can try some before you decide. I guarantee that with the same type of rice, the rice from this cooker will be far sweeter and exceptionally soft!"
As she spoke, the salesperson made an inviting gesture.
There was a reason she was pushing so hard, of course. The commission on the Qingfeng rice cooker was high, and on top of that, there was a special bonus from the manufacturer for every unit sold.
Seeing this, the wealthy woman naturally nodded.
She wanted to see for herself what a 20,000 rice cooker was all about.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it. If the rice really was that good, she would buy it.
The salesperson led the woman to a table, grabbed a disposable bowl and chopsticks, opened a Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker that had just finished cooking, and scooped a small bowl of rice for her.
The woman took the bowl. The rice didn’t look any different, but after just one bite, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
The sweetness was truly incredible, as were the texture and softness.
In all her years, she had never tasted rice this delicious. She immediately said, "Get me five of these Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cookers!"
Besides the new young boyfriend, she had to treat the others equally. After all, her needs were rather extensive, and who knew where she’d end up having a meal? It was best to have one of these rice cookers at each place.
Hearing the woman’s order, the salesperson’s eyes lit up, her face blooming into a smile. "Right away, ma’am!"
Scenes like this were playing out in luxury appliance stores all over, and the reputation of the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker was spreading with incredible speed.
After getting off work, Yang Jie and her boyfriend received a call from her best friend, who said she had something amazing to share and told them to come over together.
When she arrived, her friend scooped a bowl of rice for her and said mysteriously, "Xiaojie, didn’t you say you love the rice from Sifangzhuo cooked in a wooden bucket? Try this."
Yang Jie took the bowl, puzzled.
She almost thought her friend was playing a prank on her, but after two bites of the rice, a look of astonishment spread across her pretty face.
She was a very picky eater, especially when it came to rice, which was why she was so fond of the rice cooked in a wooden bucket at Sifangzhuo.
But after eating this bowl, she realized that the rice from Sifangzhuo couldn’t compare in terms of texture or softness. The sweetness wasn’t even in the same league.
She felt she could eat two large bowls of this rice, even without any side dishes.
"It’s delicious, right?" her friend asked.
Yang Jie couldn’t help but nod.
Her boyfriend beside her also nodded instinctively. The rice was just too good.
Her friend immediately beamed and said, "Xiaojie, this rice was cooked in a new product, the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker. It costs 20,000, but I got it on an installment plan. The down payment is only 4,000, and the monthly payments are 1,800. It’ll be paid off in a year. This is the amazing thing I wanted to share with you."
"Where can I buy it?" Yang Jie asked hurriedly.
A 4,000 down payment and 1,800 a month—she and her boyfriend could easily afford that.
The crucial thing was that the rice made by this cooker was so delicious. She was afraid she’d regret it if she didn’t buy one.
Similar scenes were taking place in many other places as well.
In the days that followed, popular videos and news articles about the Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker began to appear online.
When people find something good, they recommend and share it.
The Qingfeng Electromagnetic Rice Cooker had clearly won the hearts of many. As for its appearance in popular videos, that was naturally due to Master Kai and Yang Lin pulling strings behind the scenes.
Besides keeping an eye on the electromagnetic rice cooker, Lu Feng was also paying close attention to the game world. He hadn’t let go of the matter of the Rampaging Zombies.
It was just that Lin Jiao had sent out many people, but they hadn’t found any news yet. It just went to show how well the enemy was hidden.
On the other hand, with the addition of over 200 new survivors, the development of Zhuangyuan District was progressing quickly. The buildings were being cleared out one by one, and Lin Jiao had already arranged for people to move in.
The district itself was a bit dilapidated, but with armed fighters patrolling the perimeter, it was slowly starting to regain a semblance of its pre-apocalyptic appearance.
Entering the game, Lu Feng saw Cheng Sisi run up to him, eager for praise. "Boss, you know those phones you brought in for us to program a smartphone assistant for? We’ve already developed a smart assistant software!"
"Let’s go take a look!" Lu Feng’s eyes lit up. He had previously brought in several of the market’s best-selling smartphones for Cheng Sisi and her team to use in developing the smart assistant software.
He hadn’t expected her to complete the task so quickly.
