This also led to a mere 30,000 or so audience members at the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing on October 1, 2012, the day of the product launch during the National Day holiday.
The number of viewers on live streams, both domestically and internationally, only amounted to a meager million, a rather dismal turnout.
However, the lower attendance at the product launch and the reduced number of viewers on internet live streams did not affect Geek Technology's launch event.
After all, whether there are many people or few, the product launch must still proceed.
Beijing, Bird's Nest Stadium, in the front row of the VIP section.
"Mr. Ballmer, I didn't expect to see you here."
Intel CEO Paul Otellini said with a hint of surprise.
"I also didn't expect to see you here at the launch event."
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who came over from the VIP section, also expressed considerable surprise.
After all, he hadn't informed Intel about his attendance at this launch event.
So, seeing Intel CEO Paul Otellini here surprised him.
"Mr. Paul Otellini, may I ask why you decided to attend this launch event?"
After sitting down, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer curiously questioned Intel CEO Paul Otellini.
It was understandable for him, the Microsoft CEO, to come, considering Geek Technology was about to release the Geek Computer System.
Although Microsoft's Windows system was unmatched and not afraid of the Geek Computer System's challenge,
the enemy was, after all, Geek Technology, which almost dominated the smartphone system market, so Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer couldn't resist attending the launch event.
"According to my company's investigation, Geek Technology has registered a large number of technical patents related to computer CPU processors in the past few days.
That's why I came here personally to see what they're planning."
Hearing Intel CEO Paul Otellini's words, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's eyes lit up, and then he said with a mocking smile:
"They're really不怕死 (unafraid of death), aren't they? It's one thing to enter the computer system field, but they even want to release their own computer CPU processor.
It seems Geek Technology wants to completely challenge our 'Wintel Alliance.' It's perfect timing for us to join forces and suppress Geek Technology with all our might."
As he said this, a cold glint flashed in Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's eyes.
Previously, Geek Technology's release of the Geek Computer System definitely required CPU processor support.
Under such circumstances, Microsoft naturally suspected that Geek Technology had reached some hidden cooperation agreement with Intel.
After all, within the 'Wintel Alliance,' although Microsoft and Intel seemed to always be united, in reality, the two sides had experienced several conflicts over the past few decades.
This couldn't help but make Microsoft suspect whether Intel wanted to find a backup and had reached some hidden cooperation agreement with Geek Technology.
But now, hearing Intel CEO Paul Otellini's words, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, realizing that he had misunderstood Intel, was naturally moved.
If only Microsoft suppressed the Geek Computer System and Geek Technology from the ecosystem and system level, it would be somewhat inadequate.
But looking at the current situation, Geek Technology also wants to enter the CPU processor field, preparing to handle the computer CPU processor business and the computer system business together, then things will be easier to handle.
With Microsoft attacking the Geek Computer System and Geek Technology from the software game ecosystem and system level,
and then Intel attacking the Geek Computer's hardware from the computer hardware level, disaster will befall Geek Technology!
So, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer then smiled and began talking with Intel CEO Paul Otellini, the 'Wintel Alliance' was about to play its role again.
However, the launch event would not stop because of their remarks, and time continued to pass at a steady pace.
Finally, when the time came to 9:00 AM on October 1, 2012, Gao Nian slowly ascended the stage.
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap — .. "
Seeing Gao Nian's appearance, the Geek Technology fans at the scene immediately applauded enthusiastically, welcoming Gao Nian's arrival.
"Thank you very much for your warm applause."
Gao Nian cupped his hands in thanks, then slowly walked onto the stage of the launch event.
"Ridiculous."
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said with a sneer, feeling somewhat jealous of Gao Nian's popularity and the fact that he was liked and loved by countless fans.
After all, he had never enjoyed the scene of being applauded and welcomed immediately after being seen by more than 30,000 people.
However, Gao Nian ignored Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who was outwardly indifferent but inwardly jealous and displeased. Gao Nian came to the center of the stage and said with a smile:
"Today, we have many things to announce, because we have been preparing for this launch event for several years.
Just for today's products, we have spent a full year and several months on research and development!
Therefore, there are quite a few things to announce today, which may take up some of your time."
"It's okay!"
"We've been looking forward to a domestic computer system for many years."
"Geek Technology, go! Gao Nian, go!"
The Geek Technology fans at the scene shouted loudly, cheering for Geek Technology.
"Thank you everyone."
Cupping his hands in thanks again, Gao Nian then said with a smile, "There are many things we want to announce, but in reality, they can be categorized into two main categories.
The first category is Geek Computers, which are divided into desktop computers and laptop computers.
The second category is the Geek Computer System and related ancillary software."
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people at the scene nodded slightly to show their understanding.
At this time, listening to Gao Nian's words, they already understood what the theme of this launch event was, which was nothing more than revolving around Geek Computers.
"First, I want to introduce the Geek Computer hardware.
The Geek Computer hardware to be introduced this time is not the previous Geek Computer hardware, but a Geek Computer hardware with a completely new hardware system!
To what extent is it new? It's new to the extent that it completely breaks away from the X86 computer system!"
"Wow!"
Some people at the scene immediately exclaimed, but more fans and viewers in the live broadcast were bewildered.
Because they had no idea what Gao Nian was talking about. After all, without the specialized popular science of the media, who would know what the X86 computer system is?
Finally, coupled with the fact that Geek Technology itself started by selling complete desktop computers, the computer business has always been Geek Technology's advantageous business.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the purpose of the launch event at this time is to release a stronger new Geek Computer, and at the same time, it may launch a brand new computer system.
