Chapter 439: The press conference begins

Friday, March 4.

Pei Qian came to the company early and opened the background to check.

The purchase data of "BE QUIET" is still zero!

Obviously, in just one day, the players didn't make any breakthroughs.

Of course, this is also in Mr. Pei's plan!

This code is hidden in Lonely Desert Highway, which can be found in three hours by car, and can be found by one person and everyone can participate in solving the puzzle.

Requiring all players to complete the Lonely Desert Highway's eight- or even sixteen-hour journey may seem like a more efficient way to dissuade players from simply trying to dissuade them, but the system clearly doesn't allow it.

Therefore, Pei Qian must pay attention to the difficulty when setting up these problems.

The difficulty is too high and unreasonable enough for players to simply get the purchase conditions, and the system won't allow it;

The difficulty is too low to form a threshold, and players will soon be able to buy it, and Pei Qian will be busy in vain.

The main goal of Pei Qian's screening is to reduce the number of players who are eligible to purchase as much as possible before the settlement of this cycle, that is, in less than a month, and then reduce the sales of the game.

As for what to do in the next cycle, let's talk about it in the next cycle.

Pei Qian's ideal situation is that this puzzle can drag players for a month so that there will be no sales this month.

And the game has been launched, and players can't buy it because they haven't solved the puzzle, not because Mr. Pei's game has not been completed, so it is not considered that the project is not completed, and it will not lead to a delay in settlement.

Even if it doesn't take on for a month, it's better to be able to drag it out for two or three weeks than to open it up for players to buy as soon as it comes up!

The players on the forum have many solutions to this string of passwords, and a group of bigwigs have emerged.

The solutions include grouping, converting English to numbers, converting numbers to nine palaces, reverse order, crossing, sequence, ASCII, hexadecimal, etc., which is dazzling.

In fact, Pei Qian is an ordinary person, he has never learned those very complex encryption methods, and the solution ideas he uses are completely from the relatively simple puzzles that can be seen in daily life.

It's just a little bit more.

The correct idea did appear in the player's solution, but because the decryption method of the last step was relatively unpopular and magical, some players mistakenly thought it was a dead end after solving this step, so they didn't go any further.

As a result, this correct solution path has not received much attention.

After observation, it can be seen that ABC appears very frequently, and the last letter in the order is I, according to the alphabet A = 1, B = 2 this way to arrange, I is exactly equal to 9, indicating that this string of English was originally a string of numbers converted.

71933333313291428351

If you continue to look at this string of numbers, you will find that there is a pattern in every other digit.

71/93/33/33/31/32/91/42/83/51

The last digit is not more than 4, which is very common for mobile phones.

71 represents the first letter of the 7 buttons in the nine-square grid of the mobile phone, that is, P, in the same way, all the letters after can also be found on the nine-square grid of the mobile phone.

But at this point, it seems to be irregular, so the players who thought of the previous path were unable to continue to deduce, and judging from the posts and comments of other players, many people obviously didn't realize that this was the correct solution.

This step is actually not a complex password, its general category is very common in reality, but this branch is extremely rare, so the number of people who know and understand it is too small.

Pei Qian also occasionally learned a little because of interest, so he used the password on a whim, but he didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good.

Moreover, even if this code is solved, the process of solving the puzzle is only a third of the way.

"Let's keep going, if you can't solve it, I'm going to lose money in this settlement cycle!" Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little sneered.

This weekend, OTTO mobile phones are going to hold a press conference, and Pei Qian has to take a look at the press conference to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

But before that, Pei Qian sent a message to the programmer in charge of solving the puzzle.

"The clue to 'Lonely Desert Highway' has been found, and the time it takes to find the clue can be adjusted from three hours to 15 minutes."

……

……

Sunday, March 6.

Four Seasons Hotel Oasis, the largest five-star hotel in Beijing.

Many of Tengda's previous activities, including high-level business reception, personnel recruitment entrance examinations, annual meetings, etc., have been cooperated with this hotel.

This press conference is also in the banquet hall of this hotel, and many technology media have been invited in advance, and they have booked rooms for them, including board and lodging and round-trip transportation on the same day.

As for the others, they are all directly looking for customers who are fishing Internet cafes, headwind logistics and other businesses to give tickets.

Anyway, it's no problem to fill the whole venue.

The press conference officially started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Pei Qian quietly slipped to the hotel venue at 2 o'clock, and then found a corner and sat down.

If he wanted to, he could sit in the first row, but this press conference was arranged for the camera to broadcast the whole process, and Pei Qian wanted to sit in the first row, so he would definitely have to be on camera, and wouldn't it be exposed at that time.

Therefore, Pei Qian told Chang You that he would come, but did not tell him where he was sitting.

There are so many people on the scene, it is difficult to find Mr. Pei.

In this way, Mr. Pei will not expose himself, but also achieve the effect of supervising the battle before the battle, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The scene was played with soothing and soft music, and many people were crowded, and many people were entering.

It may have come a little early, and the big screen was still dark.

If it is a press conference of other mobile phone brands, some short videos should be played on the big screen at this time to warm up the scene, and then put a promotional image of the spokesperson or something.

But Pei Qian thought about it, OTTO mobile phones don't seem to have these things?

Chang You seemed to have come to ask about the spokesperson before, but Pei Qian didn't think about it at that time, so he didn't tell Chang You about death.

Come to think of it, Chang You should have forgotten about this matter, right?

If there is no spokesperson, then there should be no warm-up short films, right?

Well, that's good, just talk dryly, talk about the shortcomings of the mobile phone for an hour, and then get off work at the speed of light, which is very much in line with Mr. Pei's mind.

Pei Qian was thinking about it beautifully, and the lights on the scene suddenly dimmed.

The big screen is on!

A logo full of science and technology slowly appeared on the big screen, just like the rising sun and dispelling the darkness, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The camera gradually zooms out, the logo gets smaller and smaller, and a back figure appears in front of the lens, just blocking the bright light, outlining a handsome silhouette.

Then, he stretched out his right hand and grasped the light in his hand.

A ray of light burst out from his hand in an instant, and the logo shrunk and engraved on the back panel of the phone, emitting a faint breathing light effect!

And the back figure also turned around at this time, and Lu Zhiyao, who was so handsome that he was suffocated, looked at the venue through the screen, holding a mobile phone that looked very atmospheric in his hand, and the logo behind it flashed, full of science and technology.

And that's not all, there are two more commercials, including an ad for "drone delivery".

In the end, the picture was frozen on the promotional map, Lu Zhiyao held the OTTO mobile phone in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Pei Qian froze in his seat, forgetting to drink the mineral water he had just unscrewed in his hand.

"What the hell is ......"

"Isn't this an advertisement in "A Better Tomorrow"???"

Pei Qian couldn't help but think of the scene where he watched "Beautiful Tomorrow" in the cinema before.

This is as good as that moment.

The same surprise, the same confusion!

When Pei Qian was watching a movie before, he did see the advertisement and logo of this mobile phone, but it was not the same as the logo of OTTO Technology in his impression, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, how did the OTTO mobile phone copy the movie?

Rubbing the heat?

Shameless!

Moreover, when did Lu Zhiyao come to endorse?

Now Lu Zhiyao can be said to be popular, after the release of "Beautiful Tomorrow", his identity as a "box office poison" was instantly whitewashed, and with his breakthrough acting skills and already good popularity, he regained his strong position among the ranks of domestic first-line students.

If you win another prize, it will be even more amazing.

Considering the achievements of "Beautiful Tomorrow" to Lu Zhiyao, it seems reasonable for him to return the favor and come over to make an endorsement for OTTO mobile phones......

For Pei Qian, this should also be a surprise.

However, Pei Qian didn't feel surprise at all now, only frightened!

This opening is much better than the general warm-up video, because "Beautiful Tomorrow" is still in theaters, which is relatively popular, and many people present have already seen it.

These advertisements have appeared in "A Better Tomorrow", with careful shooting and distinctive style, which are obviously different from most of the commercials on mobile phones now. When the audience saw this commercial, they naturally thought of the futuristic mobile phone brand in "Beautiful Tomorrow".

Changyou didn't disclose this in the promotional materials before, so the audience at the scene was obviously pleasantly surprised!

The venue, which was originally a little lifeless, instantly became hilarious!

The science and technology media reporters sitting in the front row are all talking to each other, obviously just this advertising film + Lu Zhiyao's endorsement already has a good gimmick.

And Pei Qian was like sitting on pins and needles, panicked.

The start of this conference was far from what I expected, which does not seem to be a good sign......

Unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took another sip of mineral water to suppress the shock.

"Calm, calm."

"It shouldn't be as bad as I thought."

"A good opening is not necessarily useful, maybe it will have the effect of suppressing the desire to rise first."

"As long as Changyou makes a PPT according to my requirements, completely opposite to other mobile phone manufacturers, it will definitely be the louder the scolding will be."

"When the time comes, if it's so cool at the beginning, it will become a black dot."

"So, don't worry too much now, everything will be fine!"
