Chapter 341: Showing off on stage

What the opening ceremony looks like no longer has much meaning in everyone's eyes.

They only knew that Li Yan was sitting in the first row and that the name "Li Yan" already had a certain degree of popularity.

When Director Zuo Yuming went on stage to deliver his speech, Li Yan took out his cell phone openly and began to reply to messages in the Hetu group.

Li Yan: Brother Feifan, your message highly overlaps with the message in the group, so I replied directly in the group.

Chen Fan: Tell me quickly.

Li Yan: I’m in the first row.

After a brief moment of confusion, Chen Fan understood Li Yan's special sense of humor.

Chen Fan: Are you answering the question “Where have you been?”

Li Yan: BINGO!

He Zixiang, Lai Yining, Deng Yudi: …

Li Yan: Then ask again.

Chen Fan: Do the reporters sit in the first row?

Li Yan: Obviously not.

Chen Fan: Then why can you sit there?
Li Yan: Because I shared it with the leaders and CEOs attending the meeting in advance.

He Zixiang: Why can I share it in advance?

Li Yan: They invited me, so I shared it.

Deng Yudi: Did he invite you actively?

Li Yan: Director Wang was too active, and then I was introduced to Director Zuo, and then they pulled me into the meeting room. They even left to discuss whether to let me sit in the first row before the opening. They talked to me for a long time, so I didn't have time to give you the small bag.

Chen Fan: What’s wrong with the small shoulder bag?

Li Yan: It’s a bit ugly and not formal enough.

Small shoulder bag: Cover yourself with a small quilt under the bridge, and tears will flow inside the quilt.

Lai Yining: That’s when we saw you! You were actually in the conference room at that time!

Li Yan:?
Deng Yudi: Who else is in the meeting room?
Li Yan: Almost everyone in the first row is here, including Academician Ni.

Chen Fan suddenly slapped his phone and started typing at the speed of a flash acupressure master:
You have already previewed it for the big guys, and they have expressed their approval, right? Otherwise, why would they make an exception and let you sit in the front?

He felt he had grasped the point.

Li Yan actually smiled and looked back at them: BINGO.

The four young men suddenly became restless.

What does that mean? Academician Ni and other bigwigs have approved what they have done?

Deng Yudi remained rational: What did you show them?

Li Yan: A mobile phone.

He Zixiang was shocked and asked his teammates on both sides: "Did they really make a mobile phone?"

"What? You just found out about this?" Chen Fan was a little surprised.

"No, it's not like we haven't seen the half-finished product, the 'full screen' made by the Chuang clan." He Zixiang even shook his phone. "That thing is so crude that it's unbearable to look at. How can it get such high recognition?"

"Who knows what it will become later? We haven't even seen the finished product." Chen Fan pouted, "Wait for the official introduction."

"It's been less than a month..." He Zixiang muttered to himself and didn't say anything else.

Lai Yining posted a new question in the group: Is Xiao Ma Ge also in the meeting room?

Li Yan: Yes.

Lai Yining: Did you two have any communication?

Li Yan: Of course there is, socializing is an indispensable part of life.

Lai Yining was about to sigh, but was stunned by Li Yan's next words:
He actually wanted to acquire me. It was so annoying that he was talking about this to me when we were discussing technology and cooperation.

The four of them exchanged glances and decided to remain silent.

Then wait with great anticipation for the main forum to launch.

After the relatively boring speeches, promotional video playing, and song and dance performances - which actually only took half an hour in total - it was clear how important the main forum was.

If the total score of this conference is ten, the main score = 6.

Academician Ni came on stage amid warm applause and discussed two topics with everyone in earnest. One was "E-government construction in the new technology development environment", which was very consistent with the background of the forum, and the other was "The development of open source software in China", which he was obviously more interested in.

The last small argument is about the Robert system.

Academician Ni has spent his entire life studying computers. When he talked about historical development, he had a unique perspective and sharp opinions, which made everyone applaud.

Starting from the open source of Robert's system, he repeatedly emphasized that even though open source software has its advantages and technicians all over the world are maintaining and updating it, it is, after all, an American company that is leading the effort and one cannot just trust their "open source agreement."

Once the software and hardware ecosystem forms a technological dependence, others will stop updating, shut down the system, or impose some outrageous targeted restrictions...it will be too costly for China to start from scratch.

Especially when it comes to information security.

"Core technology is the most important tool for the country, and the development of the cybersecurity and informatization industry cannot be separated from independent control."

The audience burst into applause.

Unfortunately, the discussion topics and product releases that followed were lackluster. There were two applications related to the Robert system, but they looked like semi-finished products of the Chuangzu W8 with a different system, and did not bring much excitement to everyone.

Moreover, the current Robert system is still unstable, there are many researchers, and with Academician Ni’s words in mind, it seems even less attractive.

Everyone is looking forward to Huang Zhan's sharing, such as what will happen to W8, what is the progress of W9, what is his opinion on Pineapple Joe, etc...

What is more exciting is the research on 4G networks, but it is obviously still in the early stages and there is still some distance before it can be officially commercialized and promoted in large-scale domestic infrastructure.

Fortunately, a wave of heated discussions was set off on the spot, which made this technology conference show some of its due background.

Li Yan listened carefully, because he might be able to realize these visions for the 4G network ahead of time by relying on ultra-high compression algorithms - at least he could put forward such a prospect.

As time passed, it was already eleven o'clock. According to convention, the one who would go on stage at this time was the "finale performance" arranged by the organizer.

Until this time, everyone still hadn't waited for Huang Zhan to come on stage, so a consensus had already been formed in the audience:
Boss Huang and his Chuangzu w9 will be the last to take the stage.

He might want to talk about what happened to W8, and combine it with Academician Ni's views to severely criticize America.

Someone even thought of some lines for him, "You guys rejected my efforts with the so-called appearance patent. So next time I register a rectangular design patent, others will have to make round phones?"

As a result, everyone saw a young and tall figure walking up to the stage with vigorous steps.

Under the light, this face looks quite handsome.

"Why is there no introduction?" Deng Yudi wondered.

"Hello everyone, it doesn't matter who I am. I am standing here today just to share and discuss with you a mobile phone of the future."

Li Yan's posture was relaxed. She took the microphone and spoke in a confident tone.

The audience burst into welcome applause.

"Li Yan!" Someone in the audience shouted. "Oh my god, so handsome." Seeing Li Yan, dressed in a casual suit, speaking elegantly, Lai Yining's admiration was about to overflow from his eyes, "When can I act like this?"

"Isn't he nervous at all?" He Zixiang asked curiously.

Nervous, of course I am nervous.

Li Yan was still modifying the PPT at 1:30 in the morning. She even called Huang Zhan to ask if she could modify some small details of the physical machine. Huang Zhan was completely confused by her questions.

He knew that he was not a god who had surpassed all humankind, and it was impossible for him to expect to achieve the same results in a short period of time that a team of hundreds or thousands of people could achieve in one or two years.

Therefore, there is only one point he can break through - concept.

Plant a seed called "possibility" in everyone.

He always kept this in mind, so when he was presenting the product to the bosses in the conference room, he kept emphasizing that it was still a long way from commercial use and required a lot of help.

Of course, the big guys can see clearly that this thing is immature, imperfect and even incomplete.

They also clearly see the value of this thing.

“A genius idea is worth a thousand gold.”

Their attitude made Li Yan very excited.

In any case, Li Yan implanted his concept into people's hearts on June 6, before the launch of the Pineapple Phone 5, which changed the world, on June 6. This was the right time.

The press conference was hosted by the Science and Technology Department of Linjiang Province. At present, Li Yan still has sufficient connections and influence in Linjiang, which is called geographical advantage.

Several of the most influential bosses present expressed their recognition and expectations for Li Yan's mobile phone. Huang Zhan endorsed the business side and even approached some "partners" in advance, which was called harmony among people.

The right time, the right place, and the right people are all in my hands.

If I don’t succeed, who will?

The big screen switched to the PPT prepared by Li Yan, which made everyone exclaim "Wow" right from the start with a sense of sophistication and simplicity that was quite amazing in this era.

Then he held the remote control and clicked it, and a mobile phone image appeared smoothly.

A screen so big that it will dazzle everyone, paired with a metal frame and a silver metal back panel with a full texture.

Li Yan clicked again, and the phone on the big screen began to rotate, showing its full appearance, and then the screen suddenly lit up.

"Where is the button?" There was immediate discussion among the audience.

"The one released by Lianxiang at the beginning of the year seems to have no buttons. The Robert system only needs to put the return and menu at the bottom of the screen. Now that they are all touch screens, whether to have physical buttons is a matter of opinion."

"There's nothing wrong with this... the whole screen is lit up."

"Eh?"

Li Yan continued, "Regarding the discussion on the development of smartphones, the big guys before me have already made great achievements, so I will not mention them for now. Since what I want to talk about is the 'mobile phone of the future', I definitely agree with the development prospects of smartphones."

Li Yan simply skipped the boring background with a sentence or two and clicked on the next page. It was obvious that everyone was a little tired after listening to several waves of discussions about the future of smartphones, and Li Yan's move of skipping it actually boosted their spirits.

"With the help of Chuangzu Technology, our small team developed a highly free, highly customized, and highly interactive 'River Map System' based on the currently open source L core."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, especially among those who were working on the mobile phone system.

"It's not Robert?" The young man next to Chen Fan was surprised, "It's not Win either? It's self-developed?"

"Where does he get the resources to do his own research?" another person asked.

Chen Fan did not respond to them, but just watched intently.

Because the mobile phone that Li Yan just showed in the PPT was completely different from the semi-finished product they saw at the beginning.

And isn’t this PPT a little too smooth?
Damn, what on earth did this guy Li Yan do in just one month!
"Mobile operating systems are different from computer systems. We need to think more about the word 'simple'. From the user's perspective, if something can be completed in three steps, we will never do the fourth step. From the perspective of system operation, if a software can provide functions with 10%, we will never open it to 11%."

"How is this possible!" The CEO of a company that is developing mobile phone software to adapt to the Win system and the Robert system shook his head repeatedly.

"Yeah, that's what you mean by the software is only open at 10%, haha." Another technician laughed.

Li Yan maintained his own pace and began to introduce the functions of the Hetu system.

The first is the task allocation algorithm. The Hetu system will assign different tasks to different processing paths - the internal processing speeds and priorities are different, instead of processing them together, so the system will naturally be smoother.

At the same time, it provides a "software modular" processing mode. Every software compatible with the Hetu system has the function of "partial startup", which will reduce the pressure on running memory.

No one reacted much at this point, because what Li Yan said currently sounded more like an imagination. Everyone can say that it is allocated to different processing channels, but how it is actually done is another matter.

As for “partial startup”, it can indeed reduce the pressure on running memory, but the question is why?

Just for this little thing, do major software vendors have to modify the underlying code of their software? Have they first met the modularity required by your system?
"The Hetu system itself has an ultra-high compression algorithm, which provides two display options for all images and video information transmitted on the mobile phone. One is the image processed by the ultra-high compression algorithm, which is a little blurry but consumes very little traffic; the other is the original image. The specific receiving options can be adjusted in the system settings."

There was finally some discussion in the audience, but the focus was more on "another empty promise".

The developer conference is not a formal product launch conference, and the main forum is often a place to "award ideas."

Their basic understanding of Li Yan’s presentation so far is “I want to do this so I tell you all about it”, but at least until now, the ideas proposed by Li Yan are still novel and everyone remains interested.

"I personally believe that the system and software should complement each other. Just like the system functions I just showed you, if the software itself does not have this set of operating logic, then the 10% startup and the ultra-high compression algorithm will be useless. So, what I want to introduce to you next is something that will truly change the future - the Super Life Circle."

The word "super" was still feasible in 2010. Li Yan struggled with whether to use a more high-end word, but ultimately felt that it would be better to use an intuitive name for a down-to-earth software.

As the PPT screen on the big screen suddenly exploded, an animated demonstration video suddenly appeared.

The one-minute video simply shows a cartoon boy using the "Super Life Circle".

Open the food delivery app, find the beef noodles you want to eat, place an order and pay, and the app will display the distance of the delivery man in real time.

The protagonist long-pressed the beef noodles option that he had just ordered in the takeaway app, and it jumped directly to the desktop and hung it in the "Food" collection column, with several dishes scrolling.

He opened another small chat window, which only showed a few people. A girl happened to recommend a shopping mall to him and sent him the mall’s location and an invitation to “go play together.”

So the boy dragged the store location from the dialog box directly to the "taxi" software on the desktop, and the route planning popped up immediately. The boy selected and set the timer, and the travel order was arranged.

The scene changed, and the boy in the car was browsing the "Knowledge Planet". He nodded repeatedly at an answer, then long-pressed and dragged it to the "Knowledge Collection" column on the desktop, revealing a title as a bookmark.

The video then fades slowly from various hand-painted phone screens.

Then a sentence emerged: The above is just the tip of the iceberg. The future has infinite possibilities, and it still needs you and me to define it together.

The novel idea still shocked many people. This was when "touch screen" was still relatively new, and everyone's thinking was basically still stuck on putting physical key operations on the screen.

Li Yan has already had a lot of fun.

However, the reaction of the audience was not very enthusiastic, because no matter what, ideas are just ideas after all, and children's science fiction works can also be written very brilliantly.

Just from what Li Yan said just now...it seems like this River Map system has done some practical research?
Suddenly, the three lines of text on the big screen disappeared, and light and shadow gradually emerged in the center of the screen - it was actually a physical mobile phone, operated by a pair of hands.

The background of the mobile phone is the boundless starry sky. The operator's finger clicks on a food delivery app, finds a beef noodle restaurant, presses and holds for a while, and the message is called up.

I dragged it with my finger to the right edge of the phone screen, and the food delivery app was retracted, and the screen jumped directly to the desktop...

The operation is the same as demonstrated in the short film, but this time it is on a physical phone.

I just don't know where the video was recorded from?
The finger on the screen suddenly waved towards everyone.

Someone has already exclaimed, "He's operating it! This is a projection!"

So Li Yan held the phone high above her head, as if trying to pull the phone out of the screen.

This time, the exclamation was so loud that it even knocked down a billboard outside the venue.
