Global Monopoly of Technology

Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes in the audience, Luo Sheng calmly walked onto the stage and came to the center.

He holds a small remote control in his hand, and this time he has to use PPT, because it is an external conference rather than an internal company meeting.

The giant screen behind him is now the logo of a Cote d'Azur company displayed on the screen, which is a killer whale with metallic texture and excellent light and shadow effects.

Hosting a product launch was easy and comfortable for Luo Sheng. After a while, he made a simple opening to the audience of more than 1,000 people: "Good morning, everyone, and welcome."

At this moment, thousands of engineers on the Côte d'Azur are paying attention to this conference, and no one is more excited than them. The efforts of these years are for the arrival of this moment.

Luo Sheng walked back and forth on the giant screen stage, and said in an orderly manner: "I've been looking forward to this moment for 1,280 days. We didn't sleep all night yesterday because we were so excited."

In the front row off the field, Feng Yi, Bai Lang, Lu Siming and others were among them. When they heard the boss's calm words on the stage, they knew what happened yesterday and how much effort they put in. It was really a toss up. one night.

The highlight moment at this time is the result of the sweat and hard work of a huge team behind it.

The rehearsal for this press conference lasted for three days, and the security was heavily guarded. An electronic laboratory was built in the background to place and test prototypes. There are security personnel on duty 24 hours a day.

Anyone entering or leaving must pass electronic identity authentication, and the list of people allowed to enter and exit must be reviewed by Luo Sheng.

In order to avoid the leakage of news, Luo Sheng also asked all those involved in the layout of the conference, including lighting and stage equipment manufacturers, to live in the exhibition center the night before the product launch.

In order to make the prototype work properly at the launch, engineers have been doing everything they can to solve all kinds of potential problems.

It took more than two months, or nearly three months, to prepare for this conference.

In order to be able to demonstrate the functions of the prototype on the spot, the screen of the prototype should be projected on the giant screen on the stage. In order to achieve this effect, the engineers spent another two or three weeks to install an image output on the back of the prototype. module, and then connect to the projection device.

The Wi-Fi link of the prototype machine on site is actually not stable.

The engineers discovered this problem two days ago, so they had to hide the Wi-Fi signal transmission equipment under the stage to shorten the distance of wireless signal transmission.

In addition, it is necessary to find a way to modify the software to prevent the audience below the stage from occupying the same wireless frequency and causing the connection speed of the prototype displayed to be slow.

In order to ensure the strength of the signal, a local operator was also hired to set up a mobile signal tower on site.

With Luo Sheng's approval, a team of engineers from the development team modified the program of the prototype for demonstration, so that regardless of the signal strength at the scene, the signal strength on the screen will show a full state.

This is to ensure that if the wireless network really fails and must be restarted, the audience does not want to be discovered, especially by Western media, so the signal strength on the phone screen must always be displayed as full.

No way, the signal in Sioux City and even the national communication foundation is relatively poor. Now it can't be compared with ten years later. If it is ten years later, it will be a complete explosion in Europe and the United States.

Even now, Luo Sheng is alone in front of the giant screen on the stage, but there are still more than one or two hundred engineers and staff in the backstage preparing intensively, doing their best to escort the successful conclusion of the press conference.

The ultimate goal is to complete this conference perfectly.

At this moment, Luo Sheng on the stage said to the more than 1,000 spectators in the auditorium: "We have found a rule that every once in a while, a revolutionary product will come out in the world, and then change the world. Today we will witness it together. History, witness the advent of a revolutionary electronic product that will redefine the smartphone, it is the Azure-X!"

The audience at the meeting looked at them quite sideways, some were curious, some were watching the excitement, and some were calm.

The scene was very quiet, the audience's eyes were all on Luo Sheng, and the big screen behind him displayed the words "Azure-X", Azure means azure.

Many foreigners came to the scene, including some foreign media reporters, all of them brought translators, and these devices were distributed on the scene.

Many people were stunned for a while after Luo Sheng said that. The tone was not unusual, but they were not surprised, because anyone who had watched Luo Sheng's global roadshow on the IPO listing of Bluestar Technology would not be surprised. Knowing that he likes to say some amazing hyperbole is his usual style.

Luo Sheng walked back and forth on the stage and said calmly and confidently: "Entering the smartphone industry is an unfamiliar field for the Côte d'Azur. Having accumulated a wealth of technology and is extremely mature, today Azure-X comes out.”

"Before we dive into this revolutionary product, I'd like to talk about what are now called smartphones, which generally combine a phone with the ability to send and receive email, and a so-called stripped-down version of the Internet, all centered on In a mobile device, there is also a plastic keypad on the device.”

"But the problem is that these devices are actually not that smart. Frankly speaking, I feel a little stupid." Luo Sheng raised his head and faced the audience as he spoke, and there were many people laughing.

To be honest, if it weren't for Luo Sheng and the aura of achievement of the Bluestar Technology Group, these laughter would not mean laughter, but sarcastic laughter.

Even so, some foreigners present sneered after listening to the translation. Although Luo Sheng is a giant in the Internet industry, he crossed the border into the field of hardware equipment. These giants carried out some contempt.

Last year, a mobile phone launched by Apple and Motorola failed miserably, and some foreign journalists have been thinking silently in their hearts to prepare to write an article like a mockery of Joe's mobile phone.

What do the people off the court think? Luo Sheng didn't know what others were thinking. He continued: "...Not only is it stupid, but it's not easy to use and reason, so I decided to make one myself."

audience:"……"

Yes, this is Luo Sheng.

After a while, Luo Sheng continued to speak with a bright smile: "General mobile phones are not very smart, of course today's smart phones are definitely a little bit smarter, but it is difficult to use, too complicated, even some basic functions cost money. A lot of energy to figure out how to use it.”

"So we don't want to make a product like this, we want to make a super advanced revolutionary product that's smarter than all the smartphones out there, and it's easier to use, and that's Azure-X!"

"The first is an unprecedented mobile user interface. This is the result of more than a thousand days and nights of painstaking development, and it is a combination of software and hardware. Why do we need an unprecedented user interface?"

Speaking of which, Luo Sheng pressed the remote control on his hand, looked back at the big screen, and the audience all looked at the screen. There was a picture on it, and there were several smartphones, all of which were well-known brands from major international manufacturers. type.

Luo Sheng stared at the screen and said, "There are four different smartphones here, namely, Benz, BlackBerry, Motorola, and Nokia. They are all well-known and common models. Have you found any problems with their interfaces?"

The audience said there was no problem...

Is there a problem?

Luo Sheng continued: "As a terminally ill patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, I really can't accept that nearly 40% of the lower part of these mobile devices is a small plastic keyboard. Whether you need these dense keys or not, they are fixed. It's the same in all applications."

“And every app needs some unique user interface, an optimal key configuration. The question is, what if you have a cool new idea after a few months? You can’t add more keys Right? So what should I do? There is no solution to the problem. Because the function of the buttons cannot be adjusted, it cannot be adjusted between each program, and it cannot be changed in the future, so what should I do?"

At this moment, there was only Luo Sheng's voice at the press conference. After asking this question, he pressed the small remote control again, and the big screen switched to a slideshow.

is a PC desktop image.

Luo Sheng looked back at the big screen and said, "Obviously, the computer desktop that was born more than 20 years ago has perfectly solved this problem. We can display anything we want on the graphic computer screen, using Any kind of interface. So how do we put these things into a mobile device? It’s simple, all we have to do is get rid of these plastic keypads and just leave a huge screen.”

After speaking, Luo Sheng pressed the button on the remote control again to switch to the next slide. The front image of the prototype was displayed on the big screen, and everyone who saw this picture for the first time showed a surprised expression.

"This……"

A foreign reporter's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time he saw the prototype model displayed on the big screen. As a user of a plastic keyboard mobile phone, this was definitely an industrial design he had never seen before.

Is this the smartphone that the Côte d'Azur is going to release?

The scene was still quiet, because most people were full of doubts, and the prototype on the big screen showed a flat picture, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not a real photo.

"How to interact with this screen? It's impossible to connect a mouse, what to do? Use a stylus? No, this is too low, we don't want a stylus, and this thing is easy to lose, violent like me When this happens, the temper will collapse, and the whole day will be destroyed because of it."

After a burst of laughter at the scene, Luo Sheng said with a smile: "So we chose to use the best touch indicator device in the world, a touch indicator device that everyone is born with... We use our fingers to touch."

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the audience were bright.

But still very suspicious.

Luo Sheng continued: "For this reason, we have developed a new technology... It is called multi-touch technology, which is really a super cool function. It is more accurate than any current touch interface, and it will be smartly ignored. All unintentional misoperations, even more cool is that you can also gesture on it, of course, the key is that this is our exclusive patent, and we can cooperate with interested manufacturers in the future.”

"And the revolutionary user interface is of course software. The software in all mobile phones on the market is not very mature, and it is not powerful at all. Therefore, we have also brought a breakthrough in software, which is at least five years ahead of any other mobile phone. above software.”

The audience at the scene was puzzled, but also very interested, especially some people in the industry, they were really more and more curious that Luo Sheng had boasted on stage for so long, and he was always ahead by more than five years.

It gives the impression that he completely ignores the old international manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola.

Is this a little too conceited?

On the contrary, some foreigners are "worried" about Luo Sheng, for fear that the products launched at that time will be seriously exaggerated, and the rhythm that the famous Internet giants in the contemporary world will be laughed out of their teeth has become a big joke in the history of the industry, just like Sony wanted to pick Like flipping Intel, media people expressed their delight.

And Luo Sheng was still on stage.

"How did we do it? We started with a very strong foundation, the AOS system, which is really huge, equal to the average of nearly 10,000 lines of code contributed by the engineers of the entire Cote d'Azur company. With This large and sophisticated system is placed in a mobile device that has everything we need.”

"It can multi-task, has powerful network capabilities, can do power management work well, excellent security mechanisms, and many applications, graphics processing, video and audio functions, etc. are the best jobs for AOS."

"All of these features have been centralized in one mobile device by our engineers, and AOS has allowed us to create desktop-level applications and web capabilities, not the crappy stuff you've seen in other phones, which is really completely different. Weak desktop-grade applications on PCs and more than five years ahead of any other mobile phone."

Luo Sheng walked to the side of the stage, took a sip of water and returned to the midfield position, and continued: "The other thing we learned from another company is Apple, Apple's iPod is synchronized with iTunes, we think This is a great model, and we think that Azure-X can also be synchronized with MusicSpace, an application service owned by Bluestar Technology, which can synchronize media files to Azure-X phones.”

"Not only can all files be synchronized to Azure-X, your music, audiobooks, movies, MVs, etc., but also a large amount of data, your contacts, your calendar, your photos, your Tabs, bookmarks in your browser, whatever.”

"Another I want to show you the industrial design of Azure-X. We have designed the most beautiful mobile phone in your hand. It is really beautiful and super cool." Having said that, Luo Sheng pressed the button in his hand again. remote control button and turned to look at the big screen:

"This is what it looks like."

Before the voice fell, everyone was already staring at the screen.

Luo Sheng said: "There is a 4.0 screen, it is really big, and it is the screen we have used with a resolution of 180PPI, there is a button directly below, similar to the Escape function, and then look at its side, it is Really thin, thinner than any current smartphone, only 10.8mm thick. There are several buttons on the side. A power button, press to sleep, press to wake up, a volume up and down control The button, the bottom side is a SIM card slot. Then look at the back, the first is the built-in 3 million pixel camera. Then look at the top, there is a headphone jack, and finally look at the bottom, there is a speaker, charging and data The interface for the transmission and the microphone, that's all you can see."

When Luo Sheng's voice fell, the audience suddenly greeted the first warm applause, and it was also the first ray of high court that the press conference has ushered in so far. Almost everyone looked at it with a shocked expression. giant screen.

It even felt unbelievable, let alone Luo Sheng's high-profile remarks, let alone what this phone was like, just its industrial design level has attracted every witness.

Can a cell phone do this?
