Chapter 119 – Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (3)
Nighttime, in the brightly lit Beijing City…
A wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air on the rooftop of Xiaomi Science and Technology Park’s No. 5 Office Building.
Subsequently, a man and a woman walked out of this door. The duo was strangely dressed and wore masks to cover their faces.
These two people were none other than Chen Yu and Little Peach.
“This place truly is one of mankind’s largest cities…”
As Chen Yu gazed down condescendingly from the top of the building, the gleaming neon lights found all around the city seemingly tried to blind his country bumpkin eyes.
Turning to Little Peach, he pointed at his surroundings and asked, “Little Peach, what do you think? This is the product of human creativity.”
“Meanwhile, my current location is none other than the rooftop of said company’s main headquarters.”
[What? Which awesome company managed to get themselves featured?]
[UP, aren’t you reviewing products from the future?]
[Are you finally selling out?]
[Maybe it’s a future product of this company.]
[Are you done talking?]
[Are you done talking? +1]
[Additional livestreams are boring! I want to watch an official livestream! I want to see mind-blowing technology!]
[Official livestreams are once a month. Wait patiently.]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his opening remarks.
“Today’s review product is this thing in my hands. To enjoy it with everyone, similar to yesterday’s product, I have yet to unbox this product.
“And as a professional product reviewer that has always prioritized quality content, we naturally have to go straight into the topic. Now, let’s begin the review’s first segment–unboxing! Let us witness a product’s most glorious moment.”
After saying so, Chen Yu removed the box’s seal without hesitation. Under the gazes of nearly 300,000 people, he removed the box’s lid and slowly pulled out a smartphone box from within.
“Can you see it? This is our review product for today.” Tossing away the delivery box, Chen Yu displayed the smartphone box before the camera. “That’s right. As you can see, this is a mobile phone. To be precise, it is a smartphone that comes from three years later.
“Meanwhile, this smartphone’s brand is…”
Letting his words trail off, Chen Yu slowly rotated the box forward, gradually revealing the top’s logo.
…
At the same time…
Below the rooftop where Chen Yu was hosting his livestream on, Lei Jun[1] and three of his senior executives were currently seated inside a meeting room and watching Transdimensional Review’s livestream through Bilibili.
As a member of the electronics industry, similar to Bilibili’s CEO, Lei Jun was among one of the earliest groups of people to find out about Transdimensional Review’s peculiarities.
Whether it was for analysis purposes, broadening his horizons, uncovering new technology, or simply to satisfy his curiosity, he would not miss even a single episode of Transdimensional Review’s program.
In fact, when he found a particular future product he liked, he would even hold a small meeting with the technical department to discuss the product’s usability, researchability, technological principals, and market prospects.
For ordinary people, Chen Yu’s videos and livestreams only served as a form of entertainment.
However, for members of the technology industry, and even core academic circles, Chen Yu’s reviews dictated humanity’s future technology, culture, and development!
This was a rare opportunity for the entire human race to peak on the progress of future civilization.
This was also one of the reasons why the various nations’ governments were still maintaining a “cautious,” “balanced,” and “conservative” attitude toward Transdimensional Review.
“Which lucky company is it? To actually get selected by this UP,” one of the middle-aged executives seated beside Lei Jun said, clicking his tongue. “Their stock price is going to hit the fluctuation limit.”
“It might not necessarily be good luck,” Lei Jun said, shaking his head. After taking a look at his watch, he then looked at his timetable and said, “They’ll meet plenty of troubles as well.”
“Chief Lei, something feels wrong,” the technical director seated at a corner of the room said, frowning. “The scenery displayed behind the UP just now looks somewhat familiar.”
Upon hearing the technical director’s words, the other three people in the room became stunned. Subconsciously, they turned to look outside the window.
Immediately, the brightly lit night scene shown in Transdimensional Review’s livestream gradually overlapped with the scene before their eyes…
“I-It can’t be…right?” Sweat instantly oozed out of the middle-aged executive’s forehead.
“…” Lei Jun subconsciously narrowed his eyes and immediately focused on the projector screen.
For a moment, the spacious meeting room became so quiet that one could even hear a needle dropping.
Now, only the sounds of stifled breathing could be heard.
In the next moment, displayed on the screen, Transdimensional Review’s mysterious UP could be seen rotating the smartphone box’s top to the camera.
Meanwhile, the logo printed on the box also became visible for all to see.
MI…
In the next moment, all four people in the room raised their heads and looked at the ceiling above them…
