Infinite Strongest G
After finishing the game, Merlin initially wanted to start another round, but he quickly remembered that there were people waiting for him outside.
Once he exited the virtual world, Merlin removed his helmet and said cheerfully, "Mr. Mark, I owe you an apology. I was too hasty before. Your product will undoubtedly change the landscape of electronic devices in the world. Oh, I can't wait to buy one to take home and play with..."
Seeing the old man who had previously looked down on them now singing their praises, Tiamat and Mark found it somewhat amusing. If he had been this enthusiastic from the start, it would have been much better—why wait until he experienced it himself to praise them?
Chuckling, Mark asked again, "Mr. Merlin, do you have any new thoughts on our previous proposal?"
"Are you referring to the booth at the exhibition?"
Merlin furrowed his brow tightly, as if contemplating an important decision.
Mark and Tiamat clenched their fists, their palms sweaty.
After a long pause, Merlin explained softly, "Gentlemen, while I am indeed responsible for this matter and I believe it is reasonable for you to obtain an A-Class Booth, I fear that hastily adding a company they have never heard of into the A-Class sequence may face opposition from other committee members."
"That's not a problem; we can persuade them one by one," Mark said with unwavering determination in his eyes.
"Your tenacity is admirable, but I think it's too troublesome. Here's what we'll do: there will be a full meeting of the Organizing Committee shortly, and everyone will be present. I believe this is your chance to shine."
Mark's eyes lit up as he nodded vigorously. "No problem; we will definitely win them over."
Once everything was settled, Merlin led Mark and the others toward the conference room. During this time, Mark asked Tiamat to return to the hotel to fetch more Virtual Helmets. The members of the Organizing Committee were not just one or two; they needed to be well-prepared.
With the experience gained from Merlin, and the undeniable excellence of the Virtual Helmet, their plan to secure an A-Class Booth was quickly approved.
The members of the Organizing Committee were no fools; they had all reached their positions for a reason. This arrangement was clearly beneficial for everyone involved, and only a fool would reject it.
In fact, after various manufacturers held their own press conferences, the influence of the International Consumer Electronics Show rapidly declined. Although it still ranked first among similar events, fewer and fewer people paid attention to this exhibition.
Under such circumstances, the Organizing Committee had to find ways to enhance the exhibition's value and visibility.
Attracting major manufacturers to participate was one thing—they did that every year, so it wasn't surprising. Highlighting new technological products was also part of their strategy.
Unfortunately, despite their intentions, they found it difficult to achieve. Those with groundbreaking technology had already held their own press conferences and made a splash; why would they bother coming to exhibit?
Given these considerations, the members of the Organizing Committee felt it was essential to give preferential treatment to Sweet Potato Technology and promote them heavily.
They wanted those who only focused on Apple's press conferences—the Salty Fish—to see that besides Apple, they could also showcase impressive works from es.
Even Mark didn't expect that they would become the top promotional target promised by the Organizing Committee. This meant that wherever es was mentioned, Sweet Potato Technology would also be featured. Typically, these two were packaged together; if a media outlet reported on es or Sweet Potato Technology, they had to cover the other as well.
This bundled promotion had always been a target for major manufacturers bidding for attention but rarely occurred.
Unexpectedly, the Organizing Committee granted this opportunity to Sweet Potato Technology.
When Mark excitedly called Li Hong in the capital to report the news, his voice trembled with emotion.
It was no wonder Mark lost his composure; after all, their initial goal was simply to secure a better exhibition booth. They never anticipated that along with the booth would come an unprecedented promotional package.
"Don't get too excited, I had already guessed this outcome," Li Hong said with a smile.
From the moment Mark suggested attending the exhibition, Li Hong had anticipated this result.
After all, the emergence of the Virtual Helmet undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the history of consumer electronics. As long as the Organizing Committee wasn't blind, making this decision was entirely within Li Hong's expectations.
"But I still feel a bit uneasy. This one manufacturer is receiving treatment that even major companies can't get; I feel incredibly fortunate right now."
At this point, Mark suddenly said, "Boss, why don't you come over and make a splash? I'm afraid I won't last until the end of the exhibition; I'll be too happy to handle it."
"Is it too late for me to come now? The exhibition starts tomorrow, right?" Li Hong asked, feeling somewhat tempted.
Undoubtedly, such an event would attract a lot of attention. Li Hong wasn't exactly a saint who shunned fame and fortune; being able to write a new chapter in the history of the virtual world could even be considered a historic moment. Making an appearance at such an occasion would surely bring benefits.
Previously, he had given up on attending because Yuchen's kindergarten hadn't closed for vacation yet, and there was no one to take care of Yuchen. He chose to let Mark lead the exhibition instead.
However, now that Sunshine Kindergarten was about to start its winter break, and with Lin Ruxian available to help care for Yuchen if needed, he could confidently head to Las Vegas.
"No problem, Boss. This year's exhibition will conclude on the 1st; you'll make it in time," Mark said, sensing Li Hong's concerns and immediately easing them.
Li Hong held the phone for a moment in contemplation before saying, "I'll think about it. If I decide to come, I'll call you."
"Sounds good!"
Knowing that the exhibition was just around the corner, Mark was undoubtedly busy, so Li Hong wisely chose to hang up the phone.
Lin Ruxian walked up to Li Hong, holding a clean apple, and handed it to the hesitant Li Hong, then asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"
After spending some time together, Lin Ruxian and Li Hong had managed to eliminate the awkwardness between them, communicating like a real couple.
This was a significant improvement for Lin Ruxian.
Li Hong took a bite of the apple and explained, "Mark called. The es018 Organizing Committee has decided to make our Sweet Potato Technology the top promotional target for this exhibition. Mark wants me to go to the United States to oversee things."
"You’re going to the United States?" Lin Ruxian was taken aback.
She was completely unaware of Li Hong's recent work details. Li Hong knew that this silly woman wouldn’t understand any high-end terminology, so she hadn’t mentioned anything about Sweet Potato Technology.
Hearing that Sweet Potato Technology had received such preferential treatment from es was surprising for Lin Ruxian. She wasn’t naive; she understood what es represented.
