176. ECEC2 (5)
Soon after, ECEC started.
The booth opens at 10:00 am, but the presentation on the stage, which can be called the main event, starts at 1:00 pm.
After confirming that Jinchan Lee and Francis had prepared and operated the booth well, Hoyoung began to look around the ECEC venue.
‘It’s fierce.’
Hoyoung participated in ECEC more than 10 times, including his previous life.
However, it was this fierceness that I felt every time I participated.
ECEC is attended by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as large corporations.
These small and medium-sized enterprises were companies whose products were strictly and thoroughly examined by the ECEC hosting committee and allowed to be exhibited.
They put in their energy and showed performance similar to, or even better than, products offered by large corporations, because for them, ECEC was also a place for publicity that was unique in the world.
‘However, there is nothing that could pose a threat to us this time.’
Hoyoung looked back, but was only able to recharge his confidence that this year’s ECEC would also become the most talked-about product.
Besides, Microsoft didn’t stop at all.
Even with his eyes closed, he was well aware of how Windows 95 was structured and what functions it had.
I was very confident that even if I had developed a little more than my previous life, I would never reach the Chronos 3.
.
After the lunch break, the main event, the product presentation, finally began.
Hoyoung and Michael Dell’s order is fourth.
Now was the time to prepare.
Hoyoung confirmed that the name Microsoft was embedded in the fifth order and went behind the stage to prepare for the stage.
“Hoyeong. Aren’t you trembling?”
Michael Dell, whose skin was already white because he was white, even looked pale from nervousness.
“Me? Actually, I’m not very nervous.”
“Is that so? It is also a strong heart. You have to stand in front of thousands of people and yet you don’t tremble.”
“haha. In fact, I think I was more nervous than I was when I came to meet Michael Dell six years ago and made an investment offer.”
“Is that so?”
Michael Dell’s expression changed in an instant.
The tense face turned into a surprised face in an instant.
“Even Hoyeong of the world was nervous at that time. It was also the first time I met you. I didn’t even run a business this big at the time.”
“Is it a matter of certainty? Today, I have no doubt that I will go up on stage and give a successful presentation, and I will come down here again with great cheers. But when I first met Dell, I wasn’t sure if he would accept my offer or not.”
When Hoyeong shrugged and said, Del burst out laughing.
“Heh heh heh. After all, you are someone you don’t even know.”
Hoyeong looked at Dell smiling and smiled.
“ruler. Are you all relaxed now?”
“yes?”
Dell could find himself laughing.
“under···. haha. What a great person. Mr. Hoyoung.”
Instead of answering, Hoyoung shrugged once more.
His prank had a bigger effect than expected.
Michael Dell, who had been so nervous that he couldn’t even speak properly until just a moment ago, became calm as if he had eaten the Woohwang Cheongsim Pill.
When Del and Hoyoung, who were so relaxed, finished preparing for their final presentation on stage, they heard the stage staff shouting at them.
“Next, there will be announcements from H&H and Dell, so please stand by the two of you.”
“thank you.”
The presentation was staged with Dell going up on stage first and then Hoyoung going up, so Dell took the stairs to the stage first.
“Hoyeong. I’ll call you soon, so I’m waiting for you right away.”
“haha. You speak like someone who goes far. I’ll follow up soon. You are doing well.”
After giving Hoyoung a big nod, Del disappeared onto the stage.
Wow-
The audience who recognized Dell must have shouted, and their voices echoed from the back of the stage.
“As expected, Dell is popular. Well, if you were to pick a person who is currently working hard to spread PCs in America, Dell would come first, not a politician.”
Hoyoung laughed.
Then, unable to hold back his curiosity, he climbed the stairs and pulled up the curtain to peek at the stage.
.
Meanwhile, in the audience seats, a large number of spectators were watching the stage with eyes full of anticipation.
Before long, Dell came onto the stage, and the audience cheered enthusiastically.
“Finally out! I flew from New York to see this presentation.”
IT enthusiasts from all over the country focused their attention on Michael Dell.
“Hello everyone. This is Michael Dell of Dell Computer.”
Dell nodded in greeting, and the crowd responded with another round of cheers.
However, there was one strange thing.
Dell had a rather oversized yellow envelope tucked under his side.
“If you talk too long, your mouth will hurt, right? So let’s start with my presentation first. everyone. Do you know what the top-of-the-line brand of our newly launched Dell computers is?”
Dell asked lightly.
“Alien!”
“Alienware!”
The audience was IT mania enough to attend ECEC.
They couldn’t have known such a simple thing.
Dell grinned as if he had heard the expected answer and continued.
“good. Then you won’t need long words. What I’m going to show you today is Alienware’s newest device. It’s not just an alien in words. Truly alien technology. The ensemble of alien skills we secretly recruited. It’s Alienware 94!”
Dell spoke calmly but clearly.
“Wah ha ha. Recruiting aliens, isn’t the concept too harsh?”
“Is Dell Computer announcing another new computer? I know this stage is a joint presentation, but H&H’s Yoon hasn’t come out yet?”
“It will come soon. Let’s wait a little bit.”
People weren’t really expecting much from Dell computers this time around.
This is because Dell deliberately sent the laptop to be released this time in strict secrecy.
Since he was on stage with Hoyoung, he said that he should make full use of that.
It was a strategy to attract the audience with an item that raises expectations just by hearing the name Chronos 3, and then take away all the spirits of the audience with a laptop with performance that was ahead of the times.
“The Alienware 94 that I am going to introduce to you today is a laptop computer. But did I come here just to introduce a mediocre laptop? Of course not.”
Dell pulled a laptop out of the yellow envelope that had been tucked around his side all this time.
“uh? Didn’t something come out of there right now?”
“It’s a laptop, it’s a laptop!”
The audience was surprised to see Dell taking the laptop out of the envelope so easily.
The average laptop weighs 3kg, and the worst ones weigh 5kg.
It wasn’t something that could be lightly worn around the side like Dell a moment ago.
In addition, the thickness of the laptop held by Dell was also very thin.
It seemed to be only about 2/3 the size of the thinnest laptops currently on the market.
“haha. I’m sure there are some people who are embarrassed that I took it out of this paper bag. This laptop weighs only 2.2 kg.”
The audience was all amazed.
At 2.2kg, it was the lightest among all existing laptops.
“Some of you might be thinking this by now. With a laptop that thin and light, the performance will definitely suffer.”
Del’s nonchalant remark left several in the audience with chills.
If he hadn’t said it first, I would have said it right away.
“However, if you look at the performance table that I am showing you now, you will change your mind.”
Just-
Dell snapped his fingers and a well-ordered table appeared on the billboard.
“The latest Intel Pentium processor, 16 MB of RAM. And I have an 8x CD-ROM.”
The murmur grew louder as Del spoke.
“It is still too early to be surprised. That’s not all.”
Just-
As he snapped his fingers once more, the screen on the electronic signboard changed.
“It has a hard disk with a whopping 2 gigabytes.”
Now, the audience was beyond amazed, to the point of astonishment.
“Oparts… These are o-parts, nothing special about them!”
“My home computer hard disk capacity is now 400MB. By the way, the laptop is 2 gigabytes?”
“It’s still hard to fill up 1 gigabyte, but can you fill up 2 gigabytes?”
The audience’s reaction was vividly conveyed to Dell on stage.
Del barely managed to calm the strange excitement.
“But if the price is too high, it’s out of the question for us.”
“right. Did you forget the laptop that Toshiba released last year? The performance was very good, but because it cost 10,000 dollars (about 10 million won) per unit, ordinary people like us just kept quiet.”
Atmosphere concerned about price.
Del laughed and clapped with a clap this time, as if he had expected this kind of reaction by now.
And according to the sound of applause, the contents of the electric signboard changed again.
“And this incredible laptop costs only $2300.”
Wow-!!
In line with Del’s words, a louder roar erupted than ever before.
$2300 is by no means a small amount of money.
However, this is an amount that can be challenged enough if you save money for a couple of months.
Incredible performance devices within arm’s reach.
That excited the audience.
“ruler. Now let’s connect this laptop to the screen.”
The stage staff ran out and quickly connected the laptop screen so that it could be displayed on the display board, and then went down again.
Dell gave them a slight bow and turned on the laptop.
and.
“Wow-!!!”
“It’s Chronos 3!”
“Dell is not an official partner of H&H for nothing!”
The audience shouted in excitement again.
It was because the logo [CRONOS Ⅲ] was clearly visible on the display board.
They were excited to see Dell’s new laptop and Kronos 3 on one stage.
“okay. haha. You guys have been waiting for a long time right? I waited too long. I am introducing. H&H’s Yun Ho-young!”
Hoyeong, who had been waiting in the waiting room with her eyes closed and taking a deep breath, opened her eyes to the sound calling her name.
And I climbed the stairs step by step toward the stage.
Then, suddenly, I looked back.
Behind Hoyoung and Dell, Bill Gates, who was next in line, had been in the waiting room for some time.
Even Hoyeong knew he had come.
But to Ho-young, Bill Gates was not important at all.
The only important things to him are what he will say after going up a little bit, and what he will show off to the world about Chronos 3.
Ssik-
However, Hoyoung gave Bill Gates a bright smile and went up to the stage.
“her···. haha···.”
shining stage.
Bill Gates couldn’t help but laugh at the illusion that Ho-yeong, who first went to the stage, seemed to have gone to another world.
