Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

Lin Bing and Hong Feng also temporarily put aside their work.

We've started preparing the content for the press conference.

They need to work on the complex technological development that has taken place over the past few months.

Transform it into language and visuals that ordinary people can understand.

such as,

How to handle complex hardware parameters.

How to communicate with ordinary consumers in simple and easy-to-understand language?

How to do it in a limited time?

How to showcase the unique charm of the ZUI system to the fullest extent?

"here,

When demonstrating the comparison between the ZUI system and stock Android,

Avoid using technical jargon.

Lin Bing pointed to the presentation slides and said to Hong Feng:

"Just show it to us directly."

How much faster do we open apps than others?

How much easier is it to search for contacts?

How much simpler is it to manage documents?

Make the difference immediately apparent to users.

Hong Feng nodded.

The animation is finished.

Using a side-by-side comparison method

The left side shows other phones, the right side shows Conquer Online 1.

It has a strong visual impact.

Lu Chen locked himself in his office.

The speech and presentation flow for the press conference were repeatedly refined.

he knows,

On the evening of May 10th, under the spotlight.

Every word he said.

Every detail on display.

They will all be scrutinized by countless eyes and discussed by countless people.

This is more than just a product launch.

This is also how Journey Technology showcases itself to everyone.

He wants to be on that stage.

It tells a story about dreams, courage, and perseverance.

Time flies by in the midst of busyness.

May 9th, the night before the press conference.

At 10 p.m., the new office of ZhengTu Technology was still brightly lit.

"Everyone should go back and get some rest and recharge."

Lu Chen stood in the center of the office area.

He addressed the still-busy employees:

Tomorrow is our stage.

We want to prove to the world that Chinese companies...

We can also make world-class smartphones!

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible power.

The employees all looked up.

Looking at this young boss.

From that small team crammed into a 70-square-meter space last year.

Today, they own an entire floor of office space.

A rising star in the tech world, about to release a smartphone.

It all felt like a dream.

And the people who lead them to create their dreams.

I'm standing right here right now.

"Mr. Lu, you should get some rest too."

Zheng Yong said.

"I will."

Lu Chen nodded with a smile.

"See you tomorrow."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the office slowly quieted down.

Lu Chen did not leave immediately.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the night view of Hangzhou.

far away,

The outline of Hangzhou Gymnasium was faintly visible in the night.

Tomorrow night, the place will be packed.

Countless eyes will be watching him.

We eagerly await his unveiling of the mysteries of Conquer Online 1.

Pressure? Of course.

But more than anything, it was an unprecedented excitement.

Since rebirth,

From Angry Birds to Conquer Online Z1.

And now, it's Journey 1.

Every step was part of his plan.

And every step exceeded the initial expectations.

The feeling of creating history with your own hands is fascinating.

"Mr. Lu, aren't we leaving yet?"

Lin Bing's voice came from behind.

Lu Chen turned around.

I saw Lin Bing and Hong Feng walking over together.

"You didn't leave either?"

"Let's see what else needs to be prepared."

Hong Feng said.

He was also holding a laptop in his hand.

The slides shown above are the presentation slides for tomorrow's demonstration.

I've adjusted a few animation effects.

Make sure everything goes perfectly.

Lin Bing then handed Lu Chen a cup of hot tea.

Don't be too nervous, we've prepared everything we need to.

"Zhengtu 1 is a great product, and we are confident in it."

Lu Chen took the teacup.

I'm not nervous.

It is expectation.

Looking forward to tomorrow

The moment when everyone was awestruck by Conquer Online 1.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh, right."

Lin Bing suddenly remembered something.

Xue Zhiqian has arrived.

Arranged at a nearby hotel,

He also went to the stadium for a rehearsal in the afternoon.

She's in great shape.

"That's good."

Lu Chen nodded.

"That song will play at the most exciting moment."

We chatted for a few more minutes.

The three then left the office.

Tomorrow, we'll see!

August 10, 2009, 5 PM.

Outside the Hangzhou Gymnasium, the crowds were already immense.

Technology enthusiasts from all over the country came to attend.

There are local college students and young white-collar workers from Hangzhou.

Media reporters and partners who received invitations were present.

There were also many curious viewers who were simply drawn in by Cheng Lin.

The procession stretched for hundreds of meters.

People talked excitedly and speculated.

A festive sense of anticipation filled the air.

Inside the venue, the stage has been set up.

A huge screen stands on the main stage in the center.

The lights were not fully on yet, creating a dim environment.

People whispered among themselves, eagerly awaiting the curtain to rise.

In the media area, cameras and microphones have already been set up.

The reporters were doing final equipment checks.

Chen Xin was also sitting among them.

Her camera was already in place.

The notebook was filled with questions that had been prepared in advance.

Online, Z-Dimension's live streaming page has been launched.

Although there was still an hour before the press conference officially began.

However, the number of people online at any given time has exceeded 300,000.

"They're here! Selling sunflower seeds and peanuts in the front row!"

"I came from Cheng Lin's video, looking forward to Conquer Online 1!"

"I heard Xue Zhiqian will be performing 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' live today!"

"Lottery! I want to win! I want Conquer Online 1!"

"Does anyone have a guess what Conquer Online 1 will look like?"

"I bet it's a slider keyboard! That's all the rage now!"

"The upstairs neighbors are so outdated, it's all touchscreen now!"

Backstage, Lu Chen stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his clothes one last time.

He chose a simple, plain white T-shirt.

Pair it with dark blue jeans and white sneakers.

There were no suits, ties, or watches.

His outfit made him look unlike a company boss.

More like a college student about to take the stage to share their ideas.

"Relax,"

Lin Bing walked over and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.

He was also wearing a white T-shirt.

He seemed much more easygoing.

All the necessary preparations have been made.

The product is there; it speaks for itself.

Hong Feng also came over.

Although the dark circles under the eyes are a bit noticeable.

But he was in a state of high spirits.

"The ZUI system underwent its final full-process test last night."

Absolutely no problem!

"Go ahead and speak with confidence!"

Lu Chen looked at his two partners who had fought side by side for months.

He took a deep breath and nodded.

The lights in the venue gradually dimmed.

Only a few soft beams of light remained on the stage.

The audience realized the press conference was about to begin and gradually quieted down.
