22. The Vicious Female Supporting Role and Her Father (4)

The cactus drowned…

Zhong Peiran almost wondered whether Secretary Ma and Duan Qingen were working together to deliberately play tricks on him.

A dead cactus is just bad news?

But when Duan Qingen heard this, his face actually showed a bit of sadness, "Why is he dead? How long have I been raising him?"

"Mr. Zhong, I'm so sorry. There's a funeral at home, so I'll leave now. If you are interested in our company's products, you can stay here to take a look."

After finishing speaking neatly, Duan Qingen turned around and left with Secretary Ma, leaving Zhong Peiran alone standing there with a stiff expression.

On the other side of the small square, pedestrians passing by were intrigued by the little pets held out by Duan. They walked over and stopped to watch. Some people didn't believe that these were not real animals and pulled the staff to see the machines inside.

Although what Zhong Peiran said just now was very disdainful, he also knew very well that since a new product could attract so many people's attention, its future development would definitely not go as he expected.

It was obvious that he had calculated everything when he attacked the Duan family, but why didn't he figure out the major that Duan Qingen, a loser, studied.

Nothing...

Zhong Peiran told himself in his heart that they were just some small toys. In China, the most indispensable thing is to follow suit. As long as these toys become popular, there is no need for him to take action. There will be other shameless merchants who want money and learn the technology to sell pirated copies.

He maintains his own identity, so of course he cannot do this kind of thing, but after developing the technology, whether it is improving his own side or selling it to others at a large price, it will be a hugely profitable business.

After thinking clearly for a few moments, Zhong Peiran's expression returned to his original confidence. He glanced coldly at the small square, turned around and entered the building.

The news that the Duan Group had developed realistic pets spread throughout the Internet under Huang Ming's control. In order to ensure that more people could see it, he even bought a hot search.

Facts have proved that hot searches are still very effective. When Zhong Peiran asked his people to work overtime to study whether they could figure out the principle, the Internet was already abuzz.

There are also many posts discussing this matter on the University of C school forum.

[Has anyone bought one that has arrived? Does it really look like a normal pet like in the promotional video? Or is it just another toy that only looks like it on the surface? 】

[My cousin has ordered it a long time ago, and it is expected to arrive today. I also plan to skip school in the afternoon and visit her house to see if it is really so magical]

[I would like to buy one, but it’s too expensive. Can’t it be cheaper? 】

[It’s easy to say it upstairs, didn’t the official statement make it clear? Those realistic appearances are expensive enough. The most expensive thing is that each pet has a chip embedded in its brain. The chip allows these toys to have memory functions and perform various behaviors based on the implanted prompts and memories. It means that they can interact with their owners in various ways, and they are no different from living pets. How can the price be so cheap? 】

Some people also analyzed it seriously: [I think this price is very good. You think, this kind of robot pet does not need to eat, bathe, or shovel cat litter and go for a walk. If the price is affordable, everyone can buy it. If anyone keeps a real pet, wouldn’t there be more wild cats and dogs?]

[Okay, didn’t the official say it? Even if they can ensure that every virtual pet is absolutely loyal to its owner, a machine is still a machine. If someone wants a pet that can have feelings for themselves, they do not recommend buying it]

[I think a real cat is better. Even if I have a bad temper sometimes, looking at it sometimes makes me feel better. 】

[I don’t care about feelings or not. I just want to keep a dog and feel the feeling of being attached. I didn’t have time to walk it before, but now it’s better. I’ll wait until those who have bought it comment on it. If there’s no problem, I’ll buy it. A realistic dog. 】

[I’m allergic to cat hair. I’ve always liked cats but couldn’t keep them. I placed an order as soon as I saw the news. I’m really looking forward to it! 】

The discussion in the forum continued until the afternoon when buyers whose express delivery arrived early shared the video.

In the video, a chubby white puppy is playing with a toy ball, and a female voice calls it: "Beibei, come here, come here."

The puppy immediately put down the ball, and ran over happily wagging its tail, circling around the owner's heels and squealing.

"Go and get the ball too."

"Woof!"

The little puppy barked as if in response to his grandma, then swung his tail and ran back, holding the ball in his mouth all the way to his owner.

One hand patted its head while praising it, and it wagged its tail and happily raised its forelimbs to touch its owner's legs.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a normal puppy.

Accompanying this video is a very exciting text explanation from the original poster:

【Ah ah ah ah ah I am so excited now! ! I really didn’t expect it to look like a real puppy. Since I received it, I can’t help but play with it for half an hour. It’s so cute! ! ! And it’s waterproof, so it won’t be afraid of water like a real animal and won’t let you take a bath. If it gets dirty, just hold it, rinse it with cold water and then blow dry it. It’s perfect! I have given Amway to all the classmates and friends around me, and I plan to buy one for my mother to keep it with me. It really proves that whoever uses it knows this sentence]

This post was like a signal, and soon, posts with different names and the same content popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

[I have liked cats since I was a child, but I didn't have the conditions to keep one when I was in school. Now I can afford to keep a pet because I am doing an internship. Unfortunately, the room I rent is very small. There is no space left after putting down the bed and wardrobe, and there is no place to keep a cat. I signed a one-year contract for this house, so I definitely can't move out in the short term. Moreover, I am located in Shanghai, and I can't afford to change to a bigger house. This is the premise.

I saw the GG of the realistic pet and thought that I could return it unconditionally within seven days, so I bought a realistic cat. I have to say that I was shocked when I saw the cat. It was so sweet and cute, not fake at all. Whether it was interaction or anything else, it was the same as the real thing. If I hadn't turned it on myself, I wouldn't believe it was a machine. I strongly recommend it to everyone who rents a small room or has to be outside almost all day. I didn't keep a cat before because I had no place to stay, and I also considered whether the cat would be bored or lonely if I didn't come back all day. The realistic pet has no emotions, so there is no need to worry about this.

I won't say anymore. I'm going to play with my cat and wait until I save money to buy a realistic dog. 】

【I bought a realistic snake. Of course, I admit that I bought it because it was the cheapest among these realistic pets. Before I bought it, I was still wondering why it was priced cheaper than other pets. The customer service explained that most people don’t like snakes, and snakes are reptiles. They move slower than other pets. In addition, the design is an animal that doesn’t stick to people and it is more cost-effective to make it than other larger pets, so the price is set cheap.

I usually avoid snakes, but that’s because some snakes are poisonous and I’m afraid of death. I’m not afraid of a toy snake. I bought it not only because it’s cheap but also because I think it’s cool to carry a snake with me. When the courier arrived and unboxed it, after playing with it for a while, I felt that the official was really wrong. Snakes are so cute! ! Why sell it so cheap!

Look, this is it circled on my wrist like a bracelet (pictured), this is it lying on my head obediently, look at its green bean eyes, isn’t it super cute (pictured), and this one, I was working overtime at home, it lay next to my computer and looked at me, and I touched its little head when I was tired (pictured).

If you want to buy a realistic pet, I strongly recommend you to buy a snake! ! It is cheap, cute, and easy to carry. It is a must-have for home and travel. 】

This post has the most replies.

[You actually chose a snake. I respect you as a man. 】

[Don’t say it. I will never buy a snake. I would rather keep a mouse. 】

[It looks so cute. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to order it.]

[Do you have a spider? I think it’s cooler to carry a spider with you.]

[Why don’t you bring an elephant? I guarantee that everyone will think you are cool wherever you go.]

[I am so afraid of snakes, but I think the picture is a little cute. I must be crazy.]

Among a group of posts that are either showing off, recommending or popularizing science, there is a post that is independent and special. It was pushed to the top of the hot list just half an hour after it was posted.

The title is: [Crying, I bought a realistic cat, and when I was picking it up, I ran into my professor. He borrowed the cat from me and said he wanted to study it. I don’t think I’ll see a pile of parts next time. The professor said if it breaks, he’ll buy me another one, but I don’t want to wait for a few more days for the delivery! ! ]

The whole floor below is full of people who are gloating.

[Hahahaha, the worst poster of the day]

[I envy all the other posts, but this one made me laugh out loud, thank you poster]

[Poster, are you a major in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation? I was wondering why I saw Professor Liu holding a cat in the lab]

[Hahahaha, lab, you’re done, your cat is really going to become a pile of parts]

Among the group of people who are laughing, a floor owner suddenly popped up and said, [Isn’t the person who studies realistic toys a professor in our school? If Professor Liu wants to know, why don’t you just ask him directly? ]

The students who were posting the same thing were shocked.

[Our school? ? ? ! ]

[It's impossible. If it was from our school, the school would have started to promote it with great fanfare.]

The host of the post said speechlessly: [There's a description on the official website. Here, the developer Duan Qingen, and there's a photo.]

[Isn't this Professor Duan from our school? He's just a little thinner so you can't recognize him?]

Some students clicked on the photo carefully in a daze.

The students who had never taken Duan Qingen's class were shocked: [Fuck! ! There's such a handsome professor in our school!]

[He's handsome and talented! So handsome!]

[I've been in this university for two years, and I didn't even know there was such a god-level professor hidden in the school]

[Two years upstairs is nothing, I've been here for three years. My god, he's so handsome that I'm drooling. What does this super handsome Professor Duan teach? Is it too late for me to change departments now?]

Those who had taken Duan Qingen's class were also shocked: [Is this Professor Duan? I remember that Professor Duan's appearance was okay, but not to this extent, right? 】

【It's really Professor Duan. Take a closer look. This is how he looked before he lost weight. I remember that Professor Duan hasn't been to school for a long time. It seems that he had a car accident. No wonder he lost so much weight all of a sudden】

【Although I can't believe it, I tried it with recognition software. This is Professor Duan. Let's show you Professor Duan's previous photos (attached). His facial features and face shape haven't changed, but he doesn't have that much flesh on his body. 】

【...Sure enough, is every fat person a potential stock? 】

As everyone paid attention to Duan Qingen's appearance, his family background was also revealed by some well-informed people.

Born into a wealthy family, he was supposed to inherit the company but came to teach at school. His father was seriously ill and he had a car accident. He saved the company when it was on the verge of death.

Some people posted some of Duan Qingen's previous reputations one by one, saying that Professor Duan was a typical example of God opening a door for him to reach the pinnacle of life, but he didn't go through the door, but chiseled a window to get out and go up.

This is simply a textbook example of awesomeness!

Such an awesome person is actually a professor in their school. As a member of this school (appearance), can they not support their own people?

Buy!

Buy!

Buy!

The simulated pet is destined to have a huge market. The addition of C University students is just a small stream in the ocean. Duan's opponents are simply watching Duan's stock price soaring.

It was obviously about to end, but it was defeated by Duan Qingen.

As the main force against Duan, Zhong suffered heavy losses. Some veterans in the group turned hostile on the spot and almost roared at Zhong Peiran:

"What did you tell me? You said Duan Qingen was just a teacher. You found out that he was a teacher. Why didn't you find out which school and which department he taught in?"

"He turned over just by researching such a simulated pet. Do you know what people say about us? They say we stole the chicken but lost the rice!! Duan Qingen has been staying in school quietly for more than ten years. If you hadn't been unrighteous and wanted to take action against Duan, he wouldn't have suddenly done this. Now, Duan didn't get it, and you offended him. Will Duan Qingen let you go?"

It has been a long time since Zhong Peiran was accused in such a tone. His face was as ugly as if it was painted with starch. Although he looked majestic, he was only the executive president and not the chairman who really held power. He still had to give an explanation for the heavy losses he caused to the company this time.

"Duan's mainly produces home appliances, while Zhong's produces electronic products, such as mobile phones and computers. Even if Duan Qingen wants to retaliate, what can he do?"

"Heh." The elder laughed sarcastically: "He can develop a robot pet, but he can't develop a mobile phone or computer? Look at the honors he has won before. Why do you have to offend such a person!"

When he proposed to attack Duan's, these people agreed to it for the sake of profit. Now that something happened, they would blame him. Zhong Peiran hated him and his eyes turned cold.

"He is just a professor. He has never been in business. I think he is desperate this time. Now that Duan's rescue is back, he will not do anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door outside. It was Zhong Peiran's assistant.

"Mr. Zhong, just now Duan's official social platform announced that it has officially entered the mobile phone field."

The author has something to say: Random little angels send red envelopes, good night everyone

Sorry for being late, I cut my hand while opening a can last night, and it's still my right index finger, which is the main force of typing. I will update less tonight, and update more tomorrow when it doesn't hurt. Muah (づ￣3￣)づ╭

Today, Jinjiang has released a lot of new blocked words. I searched everywhere for what words would be blocked, and then entered them one by one into the typing software to avoid stepping on thunder. It took a long time to toss and turn. As a result, when I finished typing, Jinjiang lifted some of the bans, and I had to find them one by one and delete them. I was so angry that I smashed the keyboard
