Chapter 113 113: Experiences & Value.

After dealing with the finance department, Snow came to meet Leo, and told him things about the staff. The young man agreed with the way she dealt with things. Then he said, "You can handle this however you want to. I have hands full with Tech Development." Snow then left his office to handle a few things on her own. Just because they have delegated the work to people doesn't mean they could sit back and relax. They had to do their own research when it came to making profit. At noon, Percie Hibiscal called him, "Sir, the event is about to begin." Leo sighed and said, "I will be there within a few minutes." He stood up, and picked up his phone before heading out of the office. He looked at Snow's office and found that she was staring at the computer screen, and he poked his head inside as he asked, "The event is about to begin, do you want to come along to watch?" Snow shook her head and said, "I have a meeting with a founder in about fifteen minutes." Leo was surprised and Snow chuckled as she said, "Love, they are young and have some time on their hands so they agreed quickly." The young man frowned and said, "Hey, we are not old either. You are the forever blooming rose in my heart." Snow blushed a little as she said, "Shoo, I have work, and you are getting late." The young man left, he didn't mind if Axel or Kyle heard his words. In every team of guards, there were two captains, for example, Leo was shadowed by Jock or Kyle, and similarly, Snow was shadowed by Joel or Axel. Leo got in the elevator and headed to the Grand Century Hotel. After the terror attack, the place had gone through extreme restoration and they have even hired retired soldiers as guards. The military investigation was quick, and after finding the officials who were corrupt and allowed the terrorists to work in the company were all apprehended, and these days, the hotel was trying it's best to regain its footing in the market. So, holding the launch event here gave them a huge discount and the Media was definitely more interested in covering the event because they have all been hooked by what made a prospering company come over to the Grand Century and that too after such bloodshed. Some people even called the Butterfly company, The spooky tech company because of some reasons. Leo had his face covered the last time, and now this hotel as the venue, they could not understand what was going on through the minds of the management. … Percie Hibiscal didn't take the stage this time. Leo directly picked up the microphone and appeared on the stage. His face was still covered and he said, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming over." The people looked at him and the cameras all began to flicker with flashes. Leo chuckled as he closed his eyes and asked, "You guys want to turn me blind by wearing a mask? How cruel is the media?" A few people smiled and Leo said, "Well, have some patience, I will give you all the answers, but first, let us see the product we have for you." A high definition AV was played on his que. The background was a big screen they had erected for this purpose only. The people saw a laptop that was sleek and simple in looks and then the AV showed how many tasks they can perform on the device. Leo gestured to his right hand side and a beautiful girl stepped on the stage as she placed the laptop on the podium and Leo said, "Thank you, Sara." The crowd applauded in a symbolic manner, and Leo walked up to the laptop before he said, "Under your seats, there is a laptop, from the same batch as mine, please take it out and use it for various things that you want to do." The reporters and the guests all began to fish out the devices as Leo said, "The Butterfly Tech has designed a completely new User Interface and an operating system that allows you to handle various preferences as per your own wishes in a simplified manner. We have named it, Gardener 1. For example, you wish to download a game, but there are a few other software that are already lined up. The time to download the game will be longer if it went for the typical loop distribution setting. So, what you need to do is, you hold onto the butterfly button which is sitting on the side, and say, 'Download the XXX on top priority.' And, Voila!" The reporters and the tech vloggers began to use the laptop and there were some exclamations when the people explored the UI and the OS. They were astounded by how neat it looked and yet at the same time it had so many fun elements to it. After fifteen minutes, many people had decided the good and the bad first impressions of the product. Leo stood on the stage and he said, "There is good, and then there is bad in the product, so I hope that you all understand it is not a perfect product, but an attempt of improvising and evolving technology. Now, we will begin the question and answers." The reporters raised their hands, and unlike whatLeo expected they actually posed a technical question, which was answered by Leo with great ease. He also addressed the topics that were related to the original questions in a very sorted fashion. Finally after an hour, someone asked, "President X, we want to know, why did you select this auditorium as the venue? Are you not afraid that the bad luck would leave a mark on you?" Leo chuckled and shook his head as he said, "In this hotel, when the terrorists were rampaging, I was one of the people present in this auditorium. For what you call bad luck, I would call it good luck that I managed to walk out of it all unscathed. So, for me, this place holds a great value. It is not the place or the things that are unlucky, but our experiences that makes us tag things in such a manner." Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The people paused before they clapped and Leo said, "You all can take the units in your hand back as a gift, the team outside will provide you with the rest of the accessories with it. If you wish to get the device serviced, contact the after sales team directly, and they will help you. We also dish out a five year warranty, which is the longest in the entire market. Another thing is, if anyone tries to open the laptop without following the secret protocol, the processing chip will directly be destroyed." The reporters were shocked and Leo said, "This is a method we came up with to protect the technology from being snatched. Thank you, we hope for your cooperation." The event was wrapped up and Leo came backstage. He looked at the time and said, "Kyle, we are heading home." The guard nodded and the two of them headed back home, Percie would handle the following proceedings. As they drove back home, Kyle said, "Sir, there is some chatter on the dark web." Leo raised his brow in the passenger seat and asked, "What is it about?" KYle replied, "From the information I have found, Claud seemed to have come over to kill a political leader in the country. They planned all this within six months. It just so happened that the Minister fell ill at the final moment and didn't enter the City. Later the people found out about the spy and a look out notice was issued against Claud and his right hand men. This forced them into a corner and they decided to raid." Leo clicked his tongue and asked, "Which minister was it again?" Kyle replied, "Minister Khaiber." Leo chuckled and said, "To think that this monster had such luck. Now I feel bad, I should have let Claud go and deal with this asshole." Kyle furrowed his brow and Leo said, "When Khaiber is agriculture minister, and he is famous for sanctioning the sale of Chemical Pesticides in the nation. This decision led to the land degradation where these pesticides were tested and in the 1980's the entire Corn Bowl was hit with a famine. The nation had to seek foreign aid. In the early investigations it was hinted that the minister had taken kick backs, and thus, he was one of the culprits who didn't do his job properly causing thousands to die of starvation, and many more in food riots. He should have died a long time ago." Kyle nodded and they reached home. Leo asked, "What about the open contract for hunting down the people involved in this whole episode?" The guard replied, "The Taskmaster said he would reach you personally when he gets the name of all the people." Leo nodded, and said, "Okay, I will talk to him on my own."
