85 D-Day. Sunset Inn vs Walk Shop (II)
Wang Tae Bin adjusted his tie as he waited backstage, watching Nico step off the podium to a thunderous round of applause.
He clenched his jaw and his fists trembled from rage beside him. This had been Nico's plan all along. Hurt Walk Shop and PathFinder and look good in comparison.
Just like Maria had said, Nico had kept up his assaults and somehow hid his tracks. Public opinion had changed and if he wasn't sure before, he was now. The Eidolon board's opinion had changed too.
Whatever could be said, Nico had utterly killed it. He'd used his presentation to set the bar high. But fortunately for him, it wasn't too high.
Wang definitely wouldn't let himself stop here. Not when he had so much to lose. This wouldn't be the first time he'd be facing adversity and it definitely won't be the last.
He'd faced adversity when he began building his AI. Then, it had just been him and his laptop. Yes, he'd stolen the idea from a dead friend but one could think of it as him continuing his legacy.
Now, he'd turned that legacy into his. The dream can't die here. No. It won't die here.
He looked up as his assistant approached him, handing him a water bottle. "Sir, you're up next."
Wang nodded curtly, taking a sip of water to steady his nerves. As much as he despised Nico, he couldn't let all these cloud his focus.
Today was for crushing the Voss and his company, Sunset Inn. With this victory, he'll reestablish Walk Shop as the dominant force in the AI-driven personalization market.
He waited until he was called up to the podium and walked out with confidence. The same confidence he had in his ability. The confidence he had honed over years of leading Walk Shop to the top. His investors had forgotten but he hadn't. Not now, not ever.
The applause that accompanied him was polite, nothing near the enthusiasm that Nico had commanded, but he didn't let it faze him.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." He greeted the crowd. "I am honored to stand before you today to present the vision for the partnership that could redefine the future of personalization in technology."
"By combining PathFinder's expertise in personalization with Eidolon's unmatched Adaptive AI capabilities, we're building an AI solution that doesn't just meet expectations. It will exceed them."
The slide transitioned to a data chart highlighting projected benefits. 30% faster decision-making, 40% higher customer satisfaction rates and a 25% increase in user retention.
"Now, let's talk numbers. Our projections indicate that this integration can revolutionize industries, bringing exponential value to any partner using this combined system. It's not just a game-changer. It's the future."
He paused, taking in the audience reaction. It was favorable. Good.
"In the past, we relied on data to guide technology. With Eidolon's Adaptive AI, we're letting technology redefine data, turning every interaction into an opportunity for innovation."
The final slide appeared.
"PathFinder + Adaptive AI: The Partnership That Redefines Technology."
Wang smiled, giving a small bow as the room erupted in applause, just as impressive as Nico's.
"Thank you, and I look forward to answering any questions during the Q and A."
He stepped back with confidence, leaving the podium. He'd won back the room with his presentation. This wasn't even a debate. Partnering with him would mean spreading Eidolon's reach to every area of technology but partnering with Sunset Inn would mean restricting Adaptive AI to just hospitality.
Who would win? Well, it was a no brainer.
This victory is Walk Shop's.
But the game wasn't over. He glanced at Nico who still had a confident smile on his face. The Q and A session was where the final battle would take place.
It was where the winner would emerge.
