Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Hello, Director Cameron. Welcome to the capital of China!" Zhao Hongcai shook James Cameron's hand and said enthusiastically. Zhao Hongcai has worked in multinational companies for many years and often interacts with foreigners. He speaks authentic American English.

"Hello, hello, you must be Mr. Zhao from Reda Technology, nice to meet you!" James Cameron was also quite enthusiastic, and to show his respect, he even spoke a few words in Chinese, but his pronunciation was so stiff that it made people's scalps numb.

After the two sides met, they exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then Zhao Hongcai led Cameron and his group out of the airport. However, they had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by a reporter holding a recorder. "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Cameron, hello. I am Shi Xiaoya, a reporter from Beijing Entertainment News. May I ask if you two are meeting at the airport today to discuss business cooperation?"

The sudden appearance of the reporter made Zhao Hongcai stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said, "Sorry, today is just a private meeting and has nothing to do with business cooperation."

While speaking, Zhao Hongcai waved to the side and called the two security guards he brought with him to come over and clear the way ahead.

"Mr. Zhao, please stop joking. How can you have a private meeting with your respective teams? What kind of cooperation projects are there? You should tell us the media in advance, just as a pre-promotion warm-up?" Shi Xiaoya is a senior entertainment reporter, and she is thick-skinned. How could she be sent away by Zhao Hongcai in just a few words? It is also a coincidence. Today, a queen is coming to Beijing to hold a concert. In order to grab the news, Shi Xiaoya brought a photographer to the Beijing International Airport to block people. As a result, the queen was not blocked, but the international director James Cameron was blocked. His iconic white hair and beard are so recognizable that everyone in the entertainment industry knows him. Looking at the person who came to greet Cameron, he looks so familiar. Isn't this Mr. Zhao Hongcai of Reda Technology? In the past few days, the 3D holographic projector launched by Reda Technology has been screened crazily and often on the hot search. It is hailed as the fourth movie-watching revolution. Among the ten news pictures, at least three or four are photos of Zhao Hongcai interacting with holographic projection characters at the press conference.

"I'm really sorry, I have no comment!" Zhao Hongcai put away his smile and responded casually, then signaled the security guard to pull the reporters away and quickly leave the airport. After all, he and Cameron are both public figures. If they stay in an airport for too long, they will attract many reporters.

Zhao Hongcai's reaction was quick enough, but he was still a little slow. You have to know that this is Beijing International Airport. Entertainment stars, business celebrities, and politicians from various countries who come to Beijing for activities have to get off the plane here. There are too many hidden media reporters in the entire airport. Everyone is here to catch the news. When they heard the movement here, they immediately looked over. Oh, there is the world-famous director James Cameron, and the new business tycoon Zhao Hongcai. These two people get together, which is definitely big news. So this group of reporters, like a cat smelling fish, gathered here, completely blocking the way forward, all kinds of microphones and recorders stretched out, cameras, mobile phones, and video cameras, all turned on, and aimed the lens at Zhao Hongcai and Cameron.

"Director Cameron, are you coming to China to shoot a movie or travel?"

"Director Cameron, I heard that Avatar 2 is being filmed. Are you coming to China to film it?"

"Mr. Cameron, may I ask if you are planning to use 3D holographic technology to film Avatar 2 when you meet with Mr. Zhao?"

"Mr. Zhao, you showed up at the airport to pick up Director Cameron?"

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that the third batch of 3D holographic projectors will be available for sale soon. Is this true?"

……

Facing these reporters who blocked his way and asked questions, Zhao Hongcai frowned deeply, not knowing how to deal with them. It was not advisable to drive them away directly. These people were reporters who held the right to speak in public opinion and were known as the uncrowned kings. It was not easy to offend them. If they made a distorted mouth during the news report, it would be a public relations crisis. It was not a good idea to answer their questions directly. After all, Reda Technology and James Cameron's team had just come into contact and had not yet understood each other's intentions. Now they had nothing to expose.

James Cameron was very familiar with the situation of reporters blocking the road. He stepped forward, pressed his hand and said, "Dear journalist friends, don't worry. We are here anyway and cannot run away. If you have any questions, you can raise them one by one. It's a mess like now, you say yours and I say mine, and I can't hear anything clearly. Okay, the lady with the recorder, you are here the earliest, so you can ask the first question."

Cameron's Chinese is quite limited, and he can only say a few words of greeting. The above words were, of course, said in English. Zhao Hongcai was worried that the reporters would not understand, so he called the accompanying professional translator to interpret between Cameron and the reporters.

The female reporter who was called on to ask questions was Shi Xiaoya, who was the first to recognize Cameron. When she heard that Cameron wanted her to ask the first question, she immediately perked up, cleared her throat, and asked, "Director Cameron, I heard that Avatar 2 has already started filming. What is the current filming progress and when will it be released?"

After listening to the translator's retelling, Cameron said, "Avatar 2 has indeed started filming, and the second and third films will be filmed together, but I am not very satisfied with the current 3D filming technology. The film produced does not meet my desired effect, so the filming progress is not very ideal. As for when it will be released, I'm sorry, I really can't predict this. I will not allow it to be released until the film effect meets the standards. Next, the male reporter in the sweater, yes, that's you."

"Hello, Mr. Ka. I am a loyal fan of yours. When Titanic and Avatar were released, I went to the theater to watch the premieres. Mr. Ka, you came to China this time to meet with Mr. Zhao from Reda Technology. Are you planning to introduce 2D holographic shooting technology in Avatar 3?"

Cameron couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard the male reporter say he was his fan and called him "God of Cameron". As a director, there is nothing more joyful than being in a foreign country and bumping into a few of his fans.

"I just said that I am not very satisfied with the existing 3D filming technology. It can't produce the effect I want. When I was watching the news a few days ago, I occasionally saw reports about 3D holographic projectors. This time I led the team to China to visit Reda Technology Company and see the display effect of the 3D holographic projector on site. If the display effect is really excellent and meets my expectations, it will be a high probability event to introduce 2D holographic technology in the filming of Avatar 3."

Cameron didn't say anything definite. After all, he had never seen a real 3D projector, and didn't know whether the real machine's projection effect could reach the level of the promotional video, and whether it could replace the original 3D movie playback system. The next person to be called to ask a question was a male reporter wearing glasses. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhao, I'm Xu Wenying, a reporter from the Economic Daily. Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course no problem, just ask." Seeing someone asking him a question, Zhao Hongcai agreed very readily.

"Mr. Zhao, your company's newly released Xiaoda mobile phone and 3D holographic projector were quickly sold out after being put on the shelves of Ruida Mall. Mr. Zhao, can you tell us how the sales of these two products are currently?

"Of course there is no problem with this. On the day of the launch, the online sales of Xiaoda mobile phones were 150 million units, and the sales of 3D holographic projectors were slightly less, but also reached 100 million units. The next day, the offline channel Ruida Home went on sale, and 3 Xiaoda mobile phones and 20D holographic projectors were put on sale respectively, and they were also sold out that morning. Later, due to the high demand from customers, we opened a reservation channel for 3D holographic projectors in Ruida Mall. Currently, the number of consumers participating in the reservation has reached 230 million, which is terrifying.

Counting only actual sales, as of this morning, Xiaoda has shipped a total of 170 million mobile phones and 3 million home 120D holographic projectors.”

Hearing the sales data of two new products of Ruida Technology, all the reporters and onlookers took a deep breath, and made a contribution to global warming. Xiaoda mobile phone is okay, after all, it is just an entry-level model, and the price of a single unit is less than 170 yuan. Even if 3 million units are sold, the total sales will be more than 9999 billion. The 120D holographic projector is different. Its price is as high as 120. If million units are sold, that is a terrifying sales of billion, which has already surpassed a number of domestic high-tech companies.

"Mr. Zhao, 3D holographic projectors are in serious shortage now. They are not available online or offline. However, there are many scalpers on a certain website who are selling 3D holographic projectors at a higher price, ranging from 10% to 50%. Mr. Zhao, does your company have any plans to crack down on scalpers?"

"First of all, I admit that the scalper problem does exist and is quite serious. These scalpers registered a large number of small accounts in Ruida Mall, used plug-in scripts to buy products, and then sold them on second-hand platforms at a higher price. This seriously affected the normal product sales order of our company, causing some potential users to be unable to buy products after multiple purchases, and could only buy the second-hand products in their hands at a higher price.

Our consistent attitude towards these scalpers is to crack down on them severely and not give them any room to survive. For this reason, we held a special meeting and formulated a series of plans against scalpers. These include but are not limited to limiting the purchase of 3D holographic projectors to one person per person and requiring real-name purchases, as well as binding the product to an identity. The most important point is to increase production capacity as much as possible, use a large number of products to meet user needs, and squeeze the profit margins of scalpers. "

In the next half hour, Zhao Hongcai and James Cameron each answered a few questions and dealt with the reporters, and then drove out of the airport together and returned to the headquarters of Ruida Group.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, what brand is this business car you are driving? Why have I never seen it before?" James Cameron is one of the most famous directors in Hollywood. He usually attends various parties and salons. He has seen many luxury cars and business cars, but he has never seen the MPV he was riding in today.

"This Ruida MPV is produced by our sister company, Ruida Automobile. It has just been launched in recent years and focuses on the domestic market. It is normal that you have not seen it, Director Cameron. In fact, the riding experience of this car is quite good, and it has a Level 4 automatic driving system, which makes it very worry-free to drive."

James Cameron got into the car and experienced the journey. After arriving at the destination, he gave Zhao Hongcai a thumbs up and praised: "The riding experience of this Ruida MPV is great. The whole driving process is quite quiet and stable, and the shock absorption performance is first-class. It is more comfortable than many multi-million luxury cars I have ridden. By the way, Zhao, how much is this car? Is this car for sale in our country? If so, the price is not too expensive. I will buy one after returning to China?"

"This car is not expensive. The top-end model costs about 40 RMB, which is about 6 USD."

"What, 50 dollars? Such a good car is priced so cheaply. Are you kidding me, Zhao?" James Cameron looked incredulous. In the United States, commercial vehicles are generally expensive. Any MPV with a certain brand name is priced at more than 6 dollars. Now he heard that this first-class Ridge MPV was priced at only dollars, which was a bit unbelievable.

Zhao Hongcai shrugged and said, "The selling price I mentioned is the actual price. If we can get local subsidies for new energy vehicles, the landing price can be even lower. Director Cameron, if you really like this car, I will give you one when you finish your inspection and return home."

"That's embarrassing. After all, it's worth $60,000. How can I let you spend money on it?" James Cameron pushed the door and got out of the car, but he didn't follow the rest of the team immediately. Instead, he walked around the Royda MPV he had just ridden in twice, seemingly admiring the vehicle's exterior design.

Seeing that James Cameron really liked the car, Zhao Hongcai became more determined to give him one. "Hahaha, it's just a cheap car. For you and me, one or two days' salary is enough to pay for the car. Director Cameron and I hit it off right away. I'll give him a Ridge MPV as a meeting gift."

"I'd be very sorry to refuse it. I came to China in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything good. I will make up for this gift when we meet next time." James Cameron had heard that the Chinese people value "reciprocity" and he was ready to return the gift.

After talking about cars, the topic returned to the 3D holographic projector. Zhao Hongcai asked, "Mr. Cameron, the headquarters building of our Ruida Group is in front. You flew here from the Ugly Country and you must be exhausted. Do you want to go to the lounge to rest first?" (End of this chapter)
