Chapter: 41
Los Angeles, Hollywood, Grand Theater.
Today, a grand and solemn press conference will be held here. The first groundbreaking product jointly released by the Mark Research Center and Stark Industries will unveil its mystery here.
In fact, the knowledgeable reporters already know what this upcoming product is, as Tony had previously showcased it during his return press conference.
Although the main product of this press conference has lost its sense of mystery, it still attracts widespread attention from the public. Its association with the current popular Iron Man, Tony Stark, ensures that it will not lack traffic and attention.
At the same time, the public is also curious about Mark, the genius illegitimate son and future heir of the Stark family. What kind of person is he? Does he inherit the high intelligence of his father and grandfather? The answer to this question will not only affect Mark's personal reputation but also impact the evaluation of the future value of Stark Industries by the financial tycoons on Wall Street.
At this moment, the gossip-loving crowd, who eagerly watches this press conference, is unaware that Mark is about to drop a bombshell on them.
At 7:30 PM New York time, the first product launch event of the Mark Research Center officially begins. Tony and Pepper, wearing custom-made formal attire, sit in the audience seats, observing Mark's imminent performance.
There is no host to set the atmosphere, nor are there performing guests singing and dancing. Mark, dressed casually in a suit, walks onto the stage from the side and stands under the spotlight.
"Ladies and gentlemen present at the venue, watching through the internet or in front of the television, good evening. Today is my first time speaking in front of so many people, and I don't possess the eloquent speaking skills of my father. So let's get straight to the point."
After Mark finishes speaking, the lighting technician instantly turns off all the lights in the venue and then shines two spotlights—one on Mark and the other on a red suitcase.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the product I am going to show you today is inside this red suitcase, about the size of a handbag."
Mark's words draw everyone's attention to the red suitcase on the stage.
"Before this, I believe some of you have already seen its true form and even experienced the convenience it brings. But today, I will formally introduce my invention to you and demonstrate its tremendous capabilities in detail.
Baymax, it's your turn to take the stage!"
Ding!
Upon receiving Mark's command, the circular light strip in the center of the suitcase lights up, and the lid of the suitcase automatically opens. With a hiss and a brief sound of inflation, a cute and chubby inflatable robot, white and soft, appears before everyone's eyes.
(●—●) "Hello, I am your personal health assistant, Baymax. How can I assist you?"
Before this press conference, Mark specifically disabled the other modules of Baymax and retained only the original medical chip module. At this moment, all the female viewers who are paying attention to this product launch instantly fall for Baymax's adorable and cute appearance.
"So cute! It's chubby. I really want to hug it." This is the shared sentiment among countless female viewers at this moment.
However, for the male viewers, Baymax's appearance alone cannot win them over. The next step requires Mark to take the stage and introduce the powerful functions of Baymax as a personal health assistant.
"You have all seen Baymax's appearance. When designing it, I considered the need for a friendly and comforting image. Therefore, I adopted a convenient inflatable design for easy storage, as well as a round and cute appearance.
But for any successful product, having a good-looking appearance is certainly not enough. Next, I will provide a detailed introduction and demonstration of the powerful capabilities that Baymax possesses as a personal health assistant.
Baymax is implanted with the most advanced medical chip, which contains over ten thousand medical measures to address the majority of diseases one may encounter in daily life. Its eye position is equipped with a holographic scanner that can perform harmless scans of the human body, accurately diagnosing all diseases currently known in the field of human medicine.
In addition, Baymax's diagnostic program also includes procedures for psychological disorders. For patients with psychological illnesses who are unable to confide their hidden thoughts to a human doctor, Baymax can serve as a more suitable listener.
With Baymax, you will have a companion that can safeguard your physical and mental health anytime and anywhere. It can eliminate diseases at their earliest signs, greatly reducing the possibility of mild conditions developing into severe ones."
As Mark's speech reaches this point, the audience, both present and remote, regardless of gender, have their eyes brightened. This is especially true for those capital magnates and elites who have already resolved their basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. What could be more attractive to them than a healthy body and a longer lifespan?
"Surely everyone has seen or heard about people who appear energetic and physically healthy in their daily lives, only to discover they have contracted a terminal illness during a hospital examination. For many diseases, the human body cannot perceive any changes until they have developed into true terminal conditions. By the time we experience discomfort, it is often too late.
However, going to the hospital for a full-body check-up every year is time-consuming and expensive. But with Baymax, all these troubles can be cast aside. It possesses an all-seeing eye and can identify any minor hidden risks in your body."
"Mr. Mark, are the capabilities of this inflatable robot really as powerful as you say? Can you demonstrate its functions for us on the spot?"
A journalist in the audience challenged Mark with these questions. However, for Mark, this was not a problem at all. The live demonstration was already part of his plan, and now that someone had provided him with an opportunity, he smoothly seized it.
"No problem, sir. Now, please watch a video explaining Baymax's diagnostic capabilities. In the meantime, our staff will invite a few volunteers who want to experience Baymax's abilities to wait by the stage."
