Chapter 248 Outstripped DC System Completely
Chapter 248 Outstripped DC System Completely
Three days later.
Eight o'clock, at the conference hall.
Seth used his connections to rent a conference hall of a 5-star hotel. He even invited all the mainstream media and press from across the country. 1
The system was developed and managed by both Seth and Jacob.
Master Leeds had mentioned that the 5 million dollars were the venture capital given to Seth. As such, the project had no relation to the Leeds in any possible way.
That being said, due to the Leeds’ influence as well as the sibling relationship between Jacob and Susan, all o f the media and press showed up at the conference hall.
Not only that, but many of the bigwigs from the technology industry were invited as well.
"Is everything ready?"
"We must make sure that no errors occur during the demonstration."
"Are all the guests here?"
"What about the testing device? Has everybody received it?"
Seth was doing the last check at the back.
He was nervous. The system was fully developed and they could finally put their business on the move. He had been running off his feet to build the business framework. It had cost him a mint, and he had already spent more than 2 million dollars in a few days.
He only had 5 million dollars from his grandfather as his capital, so he had to make good use of every penny. If the conference failed, things would get very messy and he would have to spend another sum of money to turn the tide. Therefore, failure was not an option. He could only succeed. 1
Even though Seth normally had a casual and carefree attitude, he could not stop sweating from nervousness when the real moment came.
"Are you nervous?" Jacob looked quizzically at Seth.
"Of course I'm nervous. This is the first launch of our system. If anything bad happens, it'll affect us in the long run," Seth replied, his voice shaking.
"Is there any problem with our system?" Jacob asked.
"Nope. We have run hundreds of simulations, so I'm confident our system is perfect," Seth answered without any hesitation.
"Since there is no problem with our system, I don't understand why are you so nervous," Jacob said, looking at him puzzlingly.
"I’m saying if. What if our system fails?”
"Our system is perfect, so why would it fail?" Jacob was even more perplexed.
As if stunned by Jacob's statement, Seth looked dumbfounded at him and mumbled, “You're right..."
"Alright, it's almost time. Let's get ready and go out," Jacob said calmly.
Jacob's cool-headedness quelled Seth's anxiety. He walked up to him and said, "Jacob, you're really good a t comforting people. I feel much better now."
"Comforting people? I'm just stating the truth?" Jacob responded calmly.
Seth:"..."
He suddenly realized he had misunderstood something. It occurred to him that there was no" failure” in Jacob’s dictionary. Perhaps he really thought they were going to make it. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Seth did not know why, but he suddenly let out a laugh. In any case, Jacob's confidence did ease him a lot.
Jacob was calm, but It was not the same case for other people. In the hall, Susan was nervous as a cat on a hot thin roof. 1
"Why are there so many people here, Julian?" Susan asked worriedly, "I see almost all the mainstream media and press are here." "Yeah," answered Julian as he handed her a cup of
water. "Here, have some water.”
Susan took the cup and had a sip. Then, she pressed o n. "But... what they have created is just a simple system. There is no need for so many people here...”
Susan was worried sick. She was worried that all the media and press would feel that Jacob and Seth were making fun of them when they saw their system.
Julian was tickled pink by Susan. Up until now, she still thought that their system was just a simple system.
Suddenly, a wicked idea crossed his mind as he decided not to tell her the truth. He feigned nervousness and said, "Talking about media and press, their pens are sharper than swords. In case they feel cheated, they might make a huge story about it and it would be disastrous for your brother
and Seth. After all, their business is on the threshold of a boom, and reputation is very essential to them."
"Yeah.” Susan grew even more anxious. "What should we do? Should we give them a heads-up?"
Julian could not hold himself anymore and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Susan shot him a glare.
Seeing that Susan was getting her back up, Julian decided not to mess around with her anymore. He said laughingly, "It's okay, Susie. You don't have to worry about them. The system is not that simple as you think it is. In my opinion, Seth and Jacob should’ve made the conference on a larger scale and invited more people to launch their system."
Susan was a bit taken aback by Julian's confidence in the system. "Is that so?"
Julian nodded confidently. "Trust me, Susie. Once their system launches, it's going to revolutionize the world."
'Change the world?’
It was too much for Susan to handle and she could not come around to her senses.
Their initial aim for signing the contract with Seth was to get 500 thousand dollars to pay back their debt. It was only after seeing how much effort Seth put into developing the system that Susan had a hunch that it might worth more than 500 thousand dollars.
Initially, she thought the system could bring them a million, or 5 million dollars at most. However, now that Julian told her that the system was going to revolutionize the world, she realized she was wrong again.
After all, could something that had the ability to change the world be only worth 5 million dollars?
Susan was dumbfounded. She felt like she was a sailor who had lost her way in the sea.
Just what had her brother and Seth developed?
When the hour hand hit 8, the conference began. Seth and Jacob came up to the stage.
The projector behind Seth began to work, and a few words appeared on the screen.
"The Official Launch of SL Operating System."
A round of murmurs began to spread across the crowd.
"SL? Did they name the system with their last names?” 1
"This is not the main point, but, an operating system? I can't believe people still dare to research and develop operating systems nowadays."
"Yeah. But no matter what, it's still no better than American's DC System.”
"The DC system is a groundbreaking invention after all; it's almost impossible for any of us to surpass it. It i s also because of this system that our country's mobile phone industry has to buy the patent from CK Corporation every year."
"Talking about CK Corporation, their net worth has hit the market cap again, right?"
"Not quite, but almost. With the DC System backing up their mobile tablets, all of their digital gadgets have monopolized the entire market. They have earned their pot full."
The crowd began to discuss CK Corporation, and nobody was interested in the SL system, which should be the highlight of the night.
Seth had already anticipated this kind of situation, while Jacob was as cool as a cucumber.
"Today, I'm going to announce that our system has achieved a new technological breakthrough. I can assure you that our system has completely surpassed the DC system in every aspect," Seth announced, dropping a bomb at the crowd.
Originally, all of the media and press attended the conference because they did not want to rub the Leeds and the Shaws the wrong way. They did not have any high hopes in the system as well.
As such, they were greatly stunned when Seth said that the system had outstripped the DC system, which had monopolized the market for so long.
