Chapter 433 Press Conference

The applause almost blew the roof off, and the young people in the back row almost howled.

A perfect star-chasing scene.

If the applause at the beginning was considered a wave of sound, this time it was a tsunami.

“Everyone, don’t get so excited. What if we can’t shoot anymore later?” From the moment she said the first sentence, there was no sign of pressure on Li Yan.

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Li Yan raised her hand, and the huge screen behind her showed the light and shadow of the Jiaolong phone back panel, and it seemed to be slowly transitioning from the crystal reflective back panel to the matte metal texture, and the dragon-shaped logo was looming.

On the pure white background were written two powerful calligraphy characters: Jiaolong.

Although for Li Yan at the moment, this presentation effect can be said to be not worth mentioning.

But in this era, when other companies hold press conferences and are eager to add all kinds of cool AE special effects, and even have countdowns with exploding stars, it is really refreshing and like a spring breeze.

Everyone's expectations have been raised to the maximum.

In a place that Li Yan didn't even notice.

"On June 2010, 6, I showed everyone a very immature concept phone at the developer conference," Li Yan said. "The system, software, and hardware at that time were all fake."

There was a chuckle from the audience.

Those who participated in the developer conference at that time had mixed emotions when looking at Li Yan on the stage.

In just such a short period of time, I have witnessed this genius who emerged out of nowhere grow to the level he is today.

From the attempt to prove oneself when introducing the concept to the ease and confidence with which one can talk about it now; from the magical idea of ​​a famous genius student to the real phone that everyone is looking forward to now.

The time was obviously very short, but it felt like a lifetime ago.

"It took me two or three months from conception to presentation. I would like to thank He Zixiang, Deng Yudi, Lai Yining who came from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Chen Fan from the Excellence Class."

The teenagers didn’t expect that they would be the first to be called, so they reminded each other to stand up and accept the cheers from the audience.

"Damn, so this is what it feels like!"

Lai Yining sat down with an uncontrollable expression, "It's so cool, damn, how cool must Li Yan be? How come you guys are so calm? You're pretending to be masters by not saying anything?"

In fact, the other three people were also feeling extremely upset, but they felt that appearing calm and composed at this time was pretentious.

"Even though it's just a concept machine to showcase an idea, it has received a lot of affirmation and expectations," Li Yan said with a smile, "and a lot of doubts. To be honest, the only thing I really worry about is whether the concept is amazing enough. When doubts came out, I knew what was going on."

Young people like to hear this kind of words, and they cheer every time Li Yan says something, just like a supporting actor.

If there hadn't been enough officials coming today, they might have been even more fanatical.

Li Yan took a deep breath and said with great emotion, "We have been waiting for this day... for less than a year."

The whole place burst into laughter.

"In the past few months, I founded Future Technology, which has grown from a small team of a dozen people to a large company of several hundred people. I also completed the research and development of the Luoshen kernel and the Hetu system from scratch.

"I received support from my first batch of colleagues. They were either well-known in the industry, had enough experience to double their salary, or had very strong professional skills and were willing to come to a startup with an uncertain future. I am sincerely grateful."

Sun Miao took the lead in clapping, his palms turning red.

"It is very difficult to develop a system from scratch, and it is even more difficult to complete a commercial-grade operating system in a short period of time. I received support from Academician Ni and Professor Mai Wen, and with very strong technical support, I laid an important foundation for system development with the full support of Linjiang."

Li Yan nodded to several leaders of Linjiang, and Zhang the senior official's smile never faded.

With this sentence, today's trip will not be in vain.

"I have to make a special introduction to our most important partner, Chuangzu CEO, Huang Zhan." Li Yan extended his hand to Huang Zhan, who also stood up and waved to everyone, receiving amazing cheers in response.

"Mr. Huang created the legend of Chuangzu W8 and has a very deep understanding of the entire process of making mobile phones. I learned a lot from him. Chuangzu also provided strong support for our early system development and later assembly line production. I sincerely say thank you."

This was something Huang Zhan didn't expect. He thought that with Li Yan's personality, he would basically focus his attention on himself.

The audience's focus has begun to change.

"Assembly line? Has this phone been put on the assembly line?"

"Is the release date coming soon? I thought it was just a prototype."

Li Yan did not thank Wei Yili. On the one hand, he was too busy to be present today. On the other hand, Wei Yili believed that investment should not be mentioned in this press conference and asked Li Yan not to mention it.

"Okay, the preliminary steps are completed, and it's time to move on to the main process." Li Yan smiled, pointed at the big screen, and switched a corner of the textured mobile phone on the side to slowly shrink until the entire phone was revealed, and then quietly stopped in the center of the screen.

"I believe most of the people present today have watched my previous press conference," Li Yan said. "Everyone has seen the concept phone, so I won't keep you in suspense."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the center of the big screen lit up.

"A 6-inch full screen," Li Yan said. "I think the bigger the screen, the better, provided it is large enough to hold in one hand."

The whole audience exclaimed.

This was a full-screen phone in early 2011, when most people were still using keypad phones.

Just lighting it up has made many people's eyes widen.

"In addition to being large, the screen also needs to have a high enough resolution, at least at the distance of daily mobile phone use, I hope to be able to present a clearer picture. It's not that I want to compare with Pineapple Joe, but I have to admit that they are ahead of us. 326dpi is indeed a good choice, but screen manufacturers with this technology are unwilling to cooperate with us."

The high emotions in the audience eased a little.

They thought Li Yan’s next sentence would be “So we settled for the second best and achieved a resolution of XXdpi”.

"So Future Technology worked with two optical research centers and two screen manufacturers to solve the problem. And we also improved the resolution a little bit." Li Yan smiled and said, "We have to thank Dr. Zhou Yang and Minister Cao Haibin for their hard work and Chuangzu for sharing their experience."

An excited young man shouted from the back row: "Li Yan, how many surprises are you going to give us?!"

This was quite clear and caused everyone to laugh.

Li Yan waved his hand, "Brother, where are we now?"

From this moment on, the high spirits in the venue never subsided.

"Let me list some of the main parameters of the Jiaolong phone first." Li Yan said, "Generally speaking, compared with the other advantages of the Jiaolong phone, these are really nothing special."

Only those who are more sensitive to these things took a few glances and were stunned. Dual-core processor, 800-megapixel rear camera, 500-megapixel front camera, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a memory card slot...

You call these things unremarkable?
This was not after the rapid development of smartphones in 2012, but before the initial internal circulation in 2011!

Adding "domestic" to these things is even more terrifying.

They are basically the first and only ones.

Even fans of Li Yan couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

"Parameters are what they are, and they can't be faked," Li Yan said. "There's nothing much to say. The press conference is just a reading of the parameters, so why bother asking me to come?"

Most people in the industry laughed.

This is basically the flavor of some recent quick-made mobile phone launches.

"Although the Hetu system also has a lot of pre-installed software, it is not counted in the 32GB storage space."

After Li Yan finished speaking, she smiled knowingly again.

Everyone knows that this is Robert. It says 16GB, but when you click it, the system eats up a lot of space.

It cannot be deleted.

"Have you all read the specifications? We just made it based on the more powerful mobile phones on the market. We haven't achieved any remarkable breakthroughs, so I said it's lackluster." Li Yan said as he waved his hand. The phone on the screen began to rotate slowly, showing its details. "Future technology must naturally break through the current level to be called a dragon emerging in the world."

There was amazement from the audience.

This is the most intuitive thing, just like the super large full screen.

Even a leader who knows nothing about mobile phones can clearly feel the shock in his heart when he looks at what he has in his hand and then at what Li Yan shows.

The Jiaolong phone slowly rotates in the center of the screen. Its large screen, thin body, smooth lines and high-end texture are all amazing.

"At least in my opinion, it is an industrial work of art," Li Yan said. "The edges are made of stainless steel, and there are two options for the back panel: glass or brushed metal."

Another exclamation.

"These are enlarged details. You can take a good look at the buttons, seams, and paint details. These things are useless if I just talk about them. Only things that can withstand close scrutiny and scrutiny can be considered works of art."

I don't know who in the audience took out his or her mobile phone to compare carefully, and then exclaimed "This is useless", which immediately sparked a comparison craze among everyone in the venue.

Li Yan just stood on the stage, looking at everyone like a teacher looking at students, and responding to some interactions from time to time.

"We have to thank the famous designer Mr. Li Guangde for these wonderful exterior designs."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he suddenly pointed his finger at the phone on the screen and shook it with a large movement. The phone exploded on the screen, and all the accessories were clearly presented in front of everyone in the form of 3D models.

This time, even the exclamation was stunned.

"We have optimized the built-in method of the mobile phone hardware, and made the body as thin as possible while ensuring the performance of the mobile phone in the most efficient and stable way."

shocked.

This way of display is unprecedented and much more awesome than the antenna of Pineapple Phone 4 back then.

"I wonder what everyone thinks of the Jiaolong phone so far?"

"Awesome!" a small group of socially complacent young people cheered.

But everyone knows that the key point is at the end.

"If I had only done this, I would never have dared to use 'Future' as the company name." Li Yan said, "From now on, let us officially move towards the future. The Hetu system and the Super Life Circle will define a new lifestyle."

The phone that had just exploded quickly returned to its original place, displaying its screen steadily again.

Above is a real-time, concrete weather forecast in a realistic style. It is sunny outside now, and a small sun is hanging right above the homepage, which is quite cute when paired with the time module.

Below are the very common software icons. For now, apart from the simpler interface and flatter icon design, it’s hard to tell what they are.

“Perhaps some friends who have studied design will say that the weather and time module above is realistic, while the software icon below is so simple, isn’t it a bit inconsistent?”

The mobile weather module on the big screen was clicked, and the settings popped up directly. "We provide a lot of options in terms of interface appearance. In order to pursue consistency, let's switch this module to a flat style."

When the settings of the weather module are clicked, only a small pop-up window pops up with a very smooth animation and only a few options on it. Select "Appearance" again, and the small pop-up window will show many built-in styles.

“You can preview it by long pressing. If you think the pop-up window is too small, you can double-click it or use two fingers to open it.”

Li Yan's words came true, and the screen content was showing this operation.

"After selecting, just pinch in with two fingers to shrink the window, or simply pull up on the taskbar at the bottom, where there is a universal back button."

The weather module has thus become a flat design style.

"We have provided a design community where everyone can create their own module appearances, which can be shared with all Hetu system users after review." Li Yan said with a smile, "The switching of all appearances is the same as before. If you are not used to this point-to-point direct operation, you can also go to the settings menu to batch convert.

“If you don’t think you need such a large weather module, you can shrink it.”

As two virtual fingers on the screen point to the two corners of the weather module and shrink inward, the module special effects become simpler, and finally shrink all the way until only a small sun remains in the corner.

"If you decide you don't want it as a separate module, you can hide it, or just restore it to a simple client."

Pull the weather module with your finger and throw it into an empty box to directly generate the "weather" client.

Click it again and you will see very detailed weather information.

"We have prepared a high degree of customization for the entire system theme, interface style, UI, and even switching animations, lock screen display, weather module, and super life circle. Everything can be adjusted according to your aesthetics and habits until you can customize a phone that fully meets your operating habits and aesthetic tastes."

Many people were stunned.

There is a small circle that likes to do things on the open source Robert system, the so-called "playing with the machine". They are very excited to see that Li Yan's original system has such smooth and interesting functions.

Practitioners with experience in mobile phone development are "experts who know the ins and outs". The operations just demonstrated by Li Yan are very consistent with the usage logic of touch-screen mobile phones. It is even more exciting for Huang Zhan, who took great pains to move the Windows system into his mobile phone and then abandoned it.

Many times, it is these small details that are easily overlooked that determine who will become the king.

"That was just an appetizer. In order to give you a preliminary understanding of the high degree of freedom, high-level customization, and high degree of interactivity of the Hetu system, you are welcome to join me in the future."
