Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 299

Chapter 299: The Way to Pay

Several months later, Lu Ming Corporation became the first company to produce a home-based smart chip that was quickly rolled out. Its sales volume in the market was pretty good. Immediately after, they succeeded in producing a new cell phone after working overtime for several nights in a row!

At the press conference, He Xiaopeng and Madam Ellie, who was sent by Musk, shared the advantages of this phone.

After getting waves of cheers, Lu Ming, who was sitting at the side, suddenly said with a smile, “I have something to announce. Lu Ming’s phone can be paid with Dogecoin. As long as the Dogecoin is paid in full, you can immediately bring the phone home! I think everyone understands what I mean, right?”

He had been thinking about this for a long time. Seeing that Musk had contributed a lot, he didn’t mind doing him a favor. After all, they would be working together for a long time in the future.

These words were a bombshell! Even his team was dumbfounded. They had never heard their boss mention this. He had been really tight-lipped about this! He Xiaopeng and Ellie looked at each other. The latter asked softly, “You don’t know either?”

“Of course…”

Halfway through his sentence, he stopped. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said, “I remember now! Previously, Boss told me in a joking tone that he wanted to bring Dogecoin into real life. For example, he wanted people to buy cell phones with Dogecoin. At that time, I didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t expect Boss to really do that.”

The reporters below the stage scrambled to raise their hands and ask questions. Lu Ming casually reached out and pointed at a few of them. “If you have any questions, feel free to ask. However, it’s only limited to the theme of this press conference. Otherwise, don’t blame me for chasing you out.”

The reason he said that was because he had met too many reporters who liked to digress. They would be chatting quite happily at first, but in the end, they insisted on asking him about his private life. For example, was he happy living with his wife? What did he think of love? Would he be tempted if he met someone better?

Wasn’t this all nonsense? He and Little Yu were living a good life. Why did so many people feel that they wouldn’t last? Of course they were ready for marriage. If they weren’t happy, why would they get married?! How many times had he publicly said that he would be with Little Yu forever? These people seemed to be deaf as they asked again and again!

Anyone would be impatient!

Fortunately, the reporters were quite tactful this time. He asked, “Are you sure we can pay with Dogecoin? Does this mean that Dogecoin is officially thrust into the future? What are you thinking of?”

“CEO Lu, if I remember correctly, you made a killing when Dogecoin became popular. What are your plans for letting people make purchases with Dogecoin? It seems that you want more people to know that such a currency exists. In a sense, it can also increase your value.”

“What do you think of Dogecoin? Is this your own idea, or is Mr. Musk involved? Can you talk about the specific process? Also, when will the new phone officially hit the market? Do you think it will dethrone the older phone players in the country?”

…

The questions meant that people were very optimistic about Dogecoin because no matter what, he was the person who held the most Dogecoin. Musk followed closely behind. Who didn’t like earning money? Of course, he had prepared his responses. As for the process, he simply said that it was his own idea.

However, there were still people who had questions after his explanation, so he simply got someone to demonstrate the payment process on the spot.

He Xiaopeng took out his phone and opened the page showing the number of Dogecoin he had. Lu Ming had transferred the amount to him not long ago. It was just enough to buy a phone.

He proceeded to scan using the new smart chip device. A mechanical voice said, “You have successfully bought a Lu Ming phone with Dogecoin. You can exchange it for your number with the staff.”

Immediately, gasps sounded from below.

Lu Ming looked at their stunned expressions and said with a smile, “If you’re not at a physical store, you can also pay with Dogecoin on the official website. The phone will be delivered and tested on the spot. If there are any flaws, we will provide a refund unconditionally.

But I don’t think that’s possible, because the chip installed in the phone is the smartest chip on the market! It will automatically monitor whether the phone meets the required standard. If it doesn’t, please rest assured that we won’t sell it! If anything goes wrong in the future, it will automatically detect it.

For example, if you accidentally drop it in water, it will automatically turn on the waterproof mode. Of course, you don’t have to worry about your screen shattering because it’s made of special gems and other materials. There are other surprise functions for everyone. I think it won’t disappoint you.

You’re welcome to join the discussion. This product is a steal. We’ll have to trouble everyone to help us publicize it.”

For a moment, the audience went wild!

Han Qianjing’s hands trembled slightly as she sat in the first row. She thought to herself, The Lu Ming era? Perhaps it has quietly dawned! She smiled and clapped until her palms were red! This might be the best investment she had made in her life! She looked at the young man standing on the stage and couldn’t help but sigh!

…

Ever since the video of the press conference was released, everyone was filled with high expectations for this new phone. On the day of the launch, the website went down because too many people were accessing it at the same time! And it was precisely because of this frenzy that Lu Ming Corporation and Tesla Corporation earned a lot of money!

Naturally, the employees of the company were given bonuses and time off. Who wouldn’t praise Lu Ming when they saw him now? They looked at him as if he was a goose that laid golden eggs. Lu Ming was almost scared away by their enthusiasm, but because of this, his company’s shares increased a lot!

So now it was finally time to move on to the next step.

When Tang Mingkun found his good friend, whom he had not seen for a long time, he said, “Old Wen, you know that I have a godson recently, right? He’s really outstanding. He has been launching a series of new products that are trending now. For example, the new energy car you told me about a while ago and the cell phone you have on the table are all made by him!”

The old man in the gray coat sat leisurely in a chair, holding a fan in his hand. He looked at Tang Mingkun suspiciously and said, “If I didn’t hear you say that, I would have thought that you really came specially to catch up with me. I didn’t expect you to have another purpose. Why? What did your godson ask you to do again?”

“And how did you know I came here this time for him?”
