Chapter 1171 Launch Of Bionic Arm
In truth, Jacob had no intention of turning Moore Group around. On the contrary, he wanted to declare the company bankrupt so that he could sell everything off.
Under Maureen’s guidance, Moore Group used to be doing so well that selling a few buildings would easily allow him to recover plenty of money.
He could not wait to see the only profitable project fail!
Jacob was extremely pleased with his plan. In the meantime, all the reporters had arrived.
There were also a number of AI technology enthusiasts. The press conference was bustling with excitement.
Standing backstage and looking at the crowd, Jacob said, “It’s showtime. Start the live streaming.”
At Jacob’s command, the live streaming camera started rolling.
Since the press conference of Moore Group had been one of the top trending topics, the moment the live streaming started, the number of viewers had reached tens of millions. A huge number of the viewers were fans of Arielle.
The instant the live streaming started, the comment section was flooded.
Goddess! Here I come!
Let me see! Let me see! Where is the pretty missy?
Can I get a reservation at Maureen’s Kitchen if I send a virtual gift during the live streaming?
I want a seat too! The food at Maureen’s Kitchen is fantastic! The ravioli is out of this world!”
Am I the only one here for the bionic arm? My brother lost an arm during a car accident. I really hope this bionic arm can allow him to lead a normal life.
Jacob scanned through the comments that mentioned the bionic arm and Arielle, and a tense smile appeared on his face.
Bionic arm?
Dream on!
Once he had auctioned off all of Moore Group’s assets, he would find the people who designed the bionic arm, transform his company, and make another round of profits with the bionic arms.
When that happened, he would have taken back every single cent that he had given Oliver!
“Ahem! Ahem!” Jacob cleared his throat and handed the phone to his assistant. He then went onto the stage.
“Hello, everyone! Hello to all the friends from the media.” Jacob revealed a perfect smile and continued, “Thank you, everyone, for attending the press conference of Southall Group… oh, I beg your pardon. Of the Moore Group. Since we have a new chairman, things have changed in our company. I believe that the newly-appointed chairman will take us into a better future.”
Those false compliments of Jacob were meant to flatter Arielle. He turned to glance at his assistant.
The latter knew that Jacob wanted to know if Arielle had arrived.
He shook his head.
Arielle was not present, and it was impossible for her to be there anyway.
A press conference without a product to launch was as good as nothing. There was no way a young lady like Arielle could stand up to such an embarrassing occasion.
When Jacob saw his assistant shaking his head, an eerie smile appeared on his face instantly.
However, very soon, he regained his composure and announced, “Now, let us give a warm welcome to the project leader of the bionic arm, also the Chairman of Moore Group, Ms. Arielle Moore!”
As he finished his introduction, the whole room exploded into applause.
The comment section was even more active than before. It was nearly impossible to see the screen.
Ahh! After hearing the bullsh*t talk of that man, I can finally see my goddess!
Goddess! Goddess! Arielle, the Goddess!
Several of them even started to send gifts during the live streaming. The gifts ranged from an affordable glow stick to a Ferris wheel that cost thousands.
In no time at all, the earnings from the live streaming were enough to buy a second-hand car.
All the crews were amazed at the popularity of Arielle. Yet, there was still no sign of Arielle coming onto the stage.
“What’s going on? Where is she?”
