300 billion!
310 billion!
320 billion!
330 billion!
On the day Lin Fan announced the Metaverse project, Mortal's stock price soared, and by the close of market, its market value had already broken through 330 billion!
Compared to Wangu Group's 350 billion, it could be said they were just one step away. Surpassing Wangu Group to become the company with the highest market value in Jiangnan City was only a matter of time, and that time would be soon, potentially within the next few days.
Lin Fan was quite satisfied with this result, which showed that his new project press conference went successfully.
What Lin Fan did not know was that his press conference was not only successful; it was immensely successful. Subsequently, it was recorded in various marketing books and analyzed as a case study by marketing experts worldwide.
Why was Lin Fan's press conference so successful?
Experts concluded that aside from Lin Fan's unique approach, it was because Lin Fan was skilled at painting a grand vision. However, this vision wasn't painted from thin air; it was painted on a convincing foundation, which is a crucial concept in marketing: convincing users.
Lin Fan first showcased AI technology and designed a simple AI chat software, making people believe he possessed AI technology beyond the era, followed by proposing his grand Metaverse plan.
In his Metaverse plan, Lin Fan depicted a future world, sparking imagination! In simple terms, this is "painting a grand vision."
Capitalists love painting grand visions, but the skill levels vary; some paint a tiger but end up with a dog, and the more they paint, the more off-putting it becomes.
Lin Fan is different; the visions he paints fill people with longing and anticipation, eager to taste the fruits immediately. The remarkable part is that people firmly believe they will get to taste them one day because Lin Fan's capabilities are evident.
Obviously, they don't just believe Lin Fan out of thin air; Lin Fan skillfully made them believe in him.
This is the key to Lin Fan's press conference success.
Indeed, possessing top-notch investment master skills, Lin Fan could accomplish all these effortlessly.
Some are joyful, some are worried.
Lin Fan's side achieved tremendous success; a single press conference not only made Mortal's stock price soar but also positioned Mortal as the first domestic company to announce a Metaverse project, becoming a trailblazer to steal the spotlight.
As Mortal announced entering the Metaverse, it sparked a wave in the domestic market, prompting major domestic companies to show eagerness to invest, even though it was undeniable that they became Lin Fan's followers, at least in the eyes of the outside world.
Moreover, Lin Fan possessed AI technology that other companies didn't have, setting other companies to live in Mortal's shadow. While Mortal eats meat, they can only strive to take a bite.
Looking at the stock market, witnessing Mortal's soaring market value, Wei Tiansheng almost spat blood.
"Lin Fan, that brat, is too outrageous!"
Wei Tiansheng slammed the table, stomping and shouting. His exasperated voice echoed through the office, leaving the company's staff bewildered, unsure why the chairman was so agitated.
Wei Tiansheng couldn't help but be outraged; he had collaborated with Black Iron Group, planning to enter the Metaverse and become the first domestic company to announce this project.
Wei Tiansheng was initially full of confidence that once the project launched, the company's stock price would soar; in his view, it was sure to happen.
Who would have thought!
The limelight was stolen directly by Mortal before the press conference even happened.
Ring ring ring...
A call came in, it was Zhou Yiwei, the boss of Black Iron Group.
Wei Tiansheng composed his emotions and answered the call.
Zhou Yiwei said, "Elder Wei, I'd like to discuss whether we should postpone our press conference tomorrow."
Wei Tiansheng was a bit displeased: "What's the reason?"
Zhou Yiwei replied, "Today, Mortal announced the Metaverse plan, the limelight is too bright, and if we announce tomorrow, the outcome will be minimal; we may be completely overshadowed by Mortal's limelight. That's one reason. Secondly, I repeatedly analyzed Mortal's press conference, gained some experience, and believe our project has areas for improvement. We might just wait for a bit."
If Zhou Yiwei hadn't said the last part, Wei Tiansheng would have dismissed it, but Zhou Yiwei saying he borrowed from Mortal made Wei Tiansheng even more displeased.
"No, I believe our press conference should go as scheduled! I will not let our project be influenced by Mortal!" Wei Tiansheng firmly declared.
Zhou Yiwei: "Elder Wei..."
Wei Tiansheng said, "You don't need to say more. I've already decided this; we should have confidence in our own project!"
On the other side of the call, Zhou Yiwei showed a slight bitter smile, not because he lacked confidence in the project, but because Mortal was too strong. Choosing to confront Mortal head-on was akin to an ant shaking a tree—an act of foolishness.
"Elder Wei has the final say, after all, you are the key investor." Zhou Yiwei ultimately said.
This Metaverse project, Wangu is the largest investor, so this project can be considered Wangu's project, naturally under Wei Tiansheng's authority.
Wei Tiansheng stubbornly chose to confront Mortal, announcing his project tomorrow, though there's some aspect of spite, but ultimately, Wei Tiansheng inherently despised Lin Fan. He was the proud richest man in Jiangnan; he couldn't accept defeat by someone he looked down upon.
He wanted to preserve his dignity and honor.
Wei Tiansheng then made a call for Wei Jiansheng to come and see him.
Wei Jiansheng quickly arrived and said, "Father, you wanted to see me?"
Earlier, Wei Tiansheng ordered Wei Jiansheng to prepare the press conference to hold it immediately today, and Wei Jiansheng hurriedly went to prepare.
However, after preparing, he received a call from Wei Tiansheng saying the press conference was canceled.
Wei Jiansheng didn't understand why, only later finding out it was because the press conference was already held by Mortal.
Wei Jiansheng observed the press conference entirely via livestream online, coming to a conclusion that his father's Metaverse plan was likely doomed because Lin Fan, the brat, was too strong. Who could take on Lin Fan at this time?
Wei Tiansheng said, "I called you to inform you that the press conference will be held as scheduled tomorrow, be prepared."
Wei Jiansheng was stunned; he had assumed his father wanted to cancel the press conference, but who knew it was to be held as scheduled, this...
"What's with that expression?" Wei Tiansheng noticed Wei Jiansheng's expression and coldly said, "Do you also think what I'm doing is wrong?"
Is there anyone else who thinks it's wrong? Wei Jiansheng thought but didn't dare ask, promptly saying, "No, it's entirely up to Father's command."
He could feel his father's anger at this moment—angry because of Lin Fan, the brat. As his son, he dared not displease his father now.
At this moment, Wei Tiansheng hadn't realized he had made a very wrong decision.
Wangu's press conference indeed went ahead as scheduled the next day.
Wangu's chairman, Wei Tiansheng, and Black Iron Group's boss, Zhou Yiwei, attended the press conference to jointly announce Wangu Group's entry into the Metaverse.
However, this press conference failed to stir up notable interest, its influence largely confined within the industry.
Worse still, following the press conference, Wangu's stock price didn't ascend but rather fell; from a market value of 350 billion, it dropped to over 340 billion.
Seeing this outcome, Wei Tiansheng couldn't hold back anymore, directly spitting blood.
