Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 399 Derivative Products, Shall We Get On Board?
The atmosphere at the press conference was lively and enthusiastic.

Jiang Qing stood in the center of the stage, enjoying his moment.

But this press conference wasn't over yet.

Seeing that the discussion below the stage showed no signs of abating, he raised his hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet. The buzzing sound below the stage quickly subsided, and everyone's attention was focused on him again.

"Alright, that concludes the main course."

Jiang Qing spoke casually, as if he wasn't the one who had just dropped those nuclear bombs.

"Thank you for your applause. It seems that everyone is quite supportive of our shared future plan."

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

"But..."

Jiang Qing changed the subject, raising a slight brow at the corner of her eye, giving off a mysterious air.

"Sometimes dessert after a main course is the most delightful surprise. At the end of today's press conference, Wuwen Technology has also prepared a gadget based on Wanxiang, a derivative product that is closer to everyone's life."

These words immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room like a magnet.

Having just experienced the huge impact of open source and free services, everyone was full of curiosity about the derivative products that Jiang Qing mentioned.

Even the seasoned bigwigs in the front row, who were used to seeing all sorts of things, sat up straight again, eager to see what other tricks Jiang Qing could pull.

"This product is quite special, so I need someone to help me demonstrate it."

Jiang Qing glanced at the audience below the stage, a beaming smile on her face.

"I wonder if any of our friends would like to come up and experience this little gadget for themselves?"

The moment he finished speaking, the scene erupted in cheers!
"Me! Me! Jiang Shen chose me!"

"Here! Look here!"

"Jiang Shen, choose me! I have long legs!"

"I I I..."

Many tech enthusiasts and even some young media reporters at the scene excitedly raised their arms and waved wildly, hoping to be one of the lucky ones selected.

Unexpectedly, Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi, who were in the front row, also raised their hands with smiles and joined in the fun.

Lei Jun shouted.

"President Jiang, give me a chance to be young again!"

This drew laughter from the entire audience.

Jiang Qing couldn't help but smile. He glanced around at the crowd below the stage, who were enthusiastically raising their hands, and a playful thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic? Both President Lei and President Zhou raised their hands, which puts me in a difficult position. How about this, to be fair and to add some suspense..."

He turned and gestured with his eyes to the control panel on the side of the stage.

"Lighting technician, could you please turn on the spotlight? I'll call 'stop,' and whoever the spotlight hits will be invited on stage, okay?"

"it is good!"

The audience responded in unison, and the atmosphere instantly became enthusiastic.

The lighting technician raised his hand and gave an "OK" sign to indicate that he understood.

As the main lights in the venue dimmed, a bright spotlight swayed back and forth above the audience, sweeping across the expectant yet nervous faces.

Zhou Ye, Meng Ziyi, and the others subconsciously followed the beam of light, feeling both anticipation and a little fear of being chosen.

Going on stage in such an occasion is quite stressful for them, and their presence here makes them prone to being over-interpreted.

"stop!"

Jiang Qing called out casually.

The beam of light stopped immediately and steadily enveloped a girl sitting in the front row wearing a white baseball cap.

The girl seemed to be stunned for a moment when she was enveloped by the beam of light. She raised her head in a daze, revealing an extremely beautiful and elegant oval face under the brim of her hat.

The large screen immediately displayed a close-up, and many people in the audience instantly recognized the face.

Because it's just so easily recognizable.

"Wow! It's Wang Churan!"

"Why is she here too?"

"She's so beautiful in person!"

A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd.

Wang Churan finally came to her senses and hurriedly tidied her hair.

Jiang Qing also showed a slightly surprised expression, not expecting to have chosen this girl by such a coincidence.

Wang Churan was there, so he naturally knew that the tickets were all given out through him.

He smiled and greeted him familiarly.

"Oh, what a coincidence? Well then, would you mind coming up here and helping me with the demonstration?"

Wang Cheran's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She came here secretly today, only wanting to watch his moment of glory from afar, but she never expected to be chosen!

A surge of intense excitement, mixed with a secret joy, momentarily overwhelmed her, but she quickly took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and regain her composure.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, she stood up gracefully, took off her baseball cap, and revealed a simple yet stunning face.

Indoors, she wore only a simple black sweater and black jeans, which perfectly showcased her tall and slender figure. The moment she stood up, her excellent head-to-body ratio drew gasps of admiration.

Wang Churan met Jiang Qing's gaze with a shy smile and nodded obediently.

Then, he walked steadily onto the stage, took the microphone from the staff, walked to Jiang Qing's side, and tried to suppress the slight tremor in his voice.

"Jiang Shen, it's been a long time."

They behaved appropriately and generously.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Qing nodded with a smile.

In the audience, Guo Guangchang, sitting in the front row, had a glint in his eyes as he made up his mind.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Zhou Ye, Meng Ziyi, and the others all focused their attention on Wang Churan instantly, their eyes filled with scrutiny, speculation, and... vigilance!
Zhou Ye pouted slightly. Although she knew they knew each other after the Bulgari dinner went viral, she still felt a little jealous seeing Jiang Qing's familiar tone.

Meng Ziyi was also friends with Wang Churan. Seeing her here, and remembering that she had often asked her about Jiang Qing last year, Meng Ziyi suddenly felt uneasy.

Does she also have some kind of relationship with Jiang Qing?
That bastard, he wouldn't...

At this moment, Jiang Qing faced the audience and explained with a smile.

"Many people may not know that Chu Ran is not only a very good actress, but also a loyal supporter of Wuwen Technology and me in private. Chu Ran is quite active in my super topic, which I only found out by chance."

Everyone then realized that they were fans!
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

When Zhou Ye and the others heard that Wang Churan was a fan, although they were still a little jealous, they relaxed their guard considerably.

Wang Churan maintained her smile, but the hands behind her back tightened their grip.

"Okay, no more small talk."

Jiang Qing gestured to the staff to bring the product up.

"Let's have some dessert after dinner."

A staff member carried an exquisite tray onto the stage, on which was placed a pair of glasses.

These glasses have a minimalist and stylish design with thin metal frames, making them look very lightweight. However, what surprises many people is that they do not have lenses.

The camera zoomed in on the big screen, and the audience below looked curious and started discussing among themselves.

"Glasses?"

"Smart glasses? Why don't they have a screen?"

"How do I use this?"

Jiang Qing picked up the glasses from the tray, but instead of immediately handing them to Wang Churan, she held them in her hand as if displaying a work of art.

"Everyone must be curious, what kind of glasses are these? Why don't they have lenses?"

He began his introduction with a smile.

"Let me introduce this to you. This is an AI glasses product that Wuwen Technology has painstakingly created based on the Wanxiang platform."

"It is unlike any other smart glasses currently on the market."

Jiang Qing's tone was full of confidence.

"As you can see, it doesn't have a screen."

A murmur of doubt arose from the audience.

Jiang Qing smiled and continued her introduction.

"In this age of information overload, while screens can display a wealth of content, they can also easily distract people. Our original intention in designing these glasses was to make them an extension of your perception of the world, rather than another piece of glass separating you from the world."

He turned to Wang Cheran and handed her the glasses.

"Curious, please put it on."

Wang Churan obediently took it and carefully put it on.

The thin metal frame accentuated her face shape, giving her a more intellectual air. Even without the glasses, it looked like a fashionable accessory.

"how do you feel?"

Jiang Qing asked with a smile.

"It's very light, you can hardly feel its weight," Wang Churan answered truthfully, she really hadn't expected it to be so light.

According to official data, it weighs only 28 grams.

Jiang Qing smiled and gave a precise answer.

"Because these glasses use a lightweight chip that we developed in collaboration with Tsinghua University's joint laboratory, which minimizes power consumption and size."

He then turned to the audience and began his formal introduction.

"These AI glasses abandon the screen and innovatively use a high-definition camera and bone conduction microphone array to collect information. Then, they are processed in real time through our powerful Wanxiang system, and finally, feedback and interaction are achieved through bone conduction headphones and micro vibration motors."

After a moment's consideration, Jiang Qing continued to explain in more colloquial terms.

"Simply put, it allows you to perceive and understand the world more clearly, even when you can't see it, and to have a natural and fluent conversation with it. It truly realizes that what you see is what you say, and what you think is what you get."

At this moment, Jiang Qing turned her head to look at Wang Churan.

"Curious, now look down at the audience and try describing what you see, or ask it a question?"

Wang was a little nervous, but she did as she was told, her eyes sweeping across the audience.

"Hmm... I see a lot of people watching us from ahead."

The sound was very soft, yet it was clearly audible through the glasses to the sound equipment at the venue.

Wang let out a startled "Ah!" and quickly covered her mouth, looking terrified.

Jiang Qing smiled and took the microphone from her hand, handing it to a staff member next to her.

It's no longer needed.

At this moment, a clear, gentle, and very human-like AI female voice sounded through the bone conduction unit in her ear, and was also connected to the live sound system.

"More than 1500 audience members were detected in the audience, and several well-known entrepreneurs, experts in the field of artificial intelligence, and film and television actors were identified in the front row. Everyone seems to be very interested in the presentation."

"Wow!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience!

That response speed and comprehension ability!
And the sound is so natural!

Wait, something's not right?

Film and television actor?
A few people who noticed the statement began to look around, but quickly focused their attention on the stage.

These days, what actors can attract people like these high-tech products?
Zhou Ye, Chen Duling, and the others were initially a little flustered, afraid of being recognized. However, seeing that the reaction at the scene was not significant, they lowered their hat brims, adjusted their masks, and continued to focus their attention on the stage.

These glasses are amazing!

Wang Churan was also startled, but then her eyes lit up with surprise.

Jiang Qing glanced at the reactions on the scene, then smiled and continued the demonstration.

“When we make products, safety is our top priority. For example, with these glasses, you no longer need to look down at your phone for navigation when you are cycling or driving. Just tell it your destination, and it will immediately give you voice guidance through bone conduction. At the same time, the miniature vibration motors on the temples will use different vibration frequencies to prompt you to turn left, turn right, or go straight, with an accuracy of centimeters.”

A simulated animation appeared on the large screen, visually demonstrating the navigation process.

"Another example……"

Jiang Qing gestured for Wang Cheran to look towards the guest seats.

"Curious, do you recognize who that is?"

Wang looked at Yao Qizhi in the direction he pointed and obediently answered.

"That is Academician Yao Qizhi."

The female voice responded immediately.

"Target person confirmed: Professor Yao Qizhi, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Turing Award winner, mainly engaged in research in artificial intelligence, intelligent science and other fields. Need more information?"

"No need, thank you."

Wang answered instinctively, trembling with fear.

"You're welcome."

The woman responded gently.

Another gasp of amazement erupted from the audience!

This is practically like having an encyclopedic smart assistant with you wherever you go!
Jiang Qing added with a smile.

"It can also translate in real time. But try speaking a sentence in English into the camera, okay?"

Wang thought for a moment and then whispered something in English.

"It's really amazing today."

The female voice responded almost instantly, repeating in standard Chinese.

"Today was truly amazing. Should it be translated into other languages?"

"No, thank you!"

Wang shook her head in surprise, her face completely unable to hide her joy. She looked at Jiang Qing, her eyes almost overflowing with admiration.

She tried hard to control herself, but the upward curve of her lips only grew higher and higher, impossible to suppress at all.

Watching the interaction between the two, Zhou Ye, sitting in the audience, pouted even more, her lips almost big enough to hang a baby on.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi quickly patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Zhang Jingyi looked on with admiration, thinking the glasses were incredibly cool.

Really want!
All she wants to know now is when this product will be available; she absolutely has to get her hands on one!
Tian Xiwei muttered to herself.

"Wow, those glasses look really fierce!"

Their eyes were practically screaming "I want it!"

Jiang Qing's introduction continued, and the hushed whispers in the audience never ceased.

"Not only that, it can also help you take meeting minutes, read articles aloud, and control smart home devices. Oh, and by the way, it has another very interesting feature."

He turned to look at Wang Churan and asked a question with a smile.

"Cha Ran, isn't Jiang Qing the closest person to you?"

Wang Churan's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Jiang Qing, who was so close to her, and nodded gently.

"Yes."

The voice is soft.

A female voice followed immediately.

"Target confirmed: Jiang Qing, founder of Wuwen Technology. Would you like to activate the payment function to buy him a cup of coffee? Or should I remind you that you are a long-time fan of his and your Super Topic level has reached level 12?"

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

"Incredible! How could they know that?"

"So interesting!"

"Without further ado, here's the link!"

The audience burst into laughter instantly!
This AI is so straightforward!
Wang's face immediately turned red, both ashamed and anxious, and she quickly waved her hands.

"No, no! I don't want any of them!"

Her flustered yet shy demeanor was clearly displayed on the big screen, making her exceptionally vivid and adorable.

Jiang Qing smiled and came to her rescue.

"Okay, thank you for the demonstration, it was fantastic!"

Wang, blushing, bowed slightly and quickly walked off the stage amidst enthusiastic applause, feeling her heart still pounding wildly.

On one hand, it was because of the powerful functions of the glasses, and on the other hand, it was because of the excitement brought about by the close interaction with Jiang Qing just now.

She was afraid she might lose control and do something rash, but thankfully nothing happened.

Lei Jun, sitting in the audience, marveled at the sight.

"This interaction method... is revolutionary again."

Zhang Yiming, standing beside him, nodded solemnly.

Li Yanhong and Teacher Ma exchanged a glance, both seeing deep concern in each other's eyes.

It seems this is a complete ecosystem, from software to hardware.

Jiang Qing stood on the stage, looked around the entire audience, and began her final summary.

"The Wuwen AI glasses are currently in the engineering prototype stage, but they demonstrate the infinite possibilities of practical applications. Their power lies not only in the hardware, but also in the support of Wuxiang and... the deep integration with thousands of application ecosystems."

He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the group of bigwigs in the front row, and half-jokingly called out their names.

"Of course, if Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, and the other CEOs present are willing to have their respective application ecosystems quickly adapt to and deeply integrate with our little gadget..."

He deliberately dragged out his voice.

"I guarantee its functionality will be ten or even a hundred times more powerful than what was just demonstrated. What do you all think?"

The camera immediately zoomed in on Zhang Yiming, Li Yanhong, and others. The group immediately smiled and even nodded and clapped, looking all friendly and easygoing.

But upon closer inspection, one would notice that the smile was somewhat stiff, and the eyes revealed deep worry, along with a hint of helplessness.

They knew all too well that Jiang Qing's seemingly joking suggestion was actually a public statement.

After the press conference, every company present connected to Wuwen's large model.

After all, no one wants to fall behind.

The standard models are free, that's true, but what about custom-made ones for companies?
What about more efficient dedicated lines?
What about even better performance?
Everyone else has gotten on the bus, are you going to follow?
Ok?
