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

Before revealing this answer sheet

I'd like to ask everyone to listen to a song first.

This song,

This is written for all of us who, despite our confusion, still choose to move forward.

This is also a letter to ourselves about the past year or so.

Every office that still has its lights on late at night.

Xue Zhiqian was holding a wooden guitar.

They walked out from the side of the stage.

He was also dressed simply in a T-shirt and jeans, with a calm expression.

"Next, please welcome Xue Zhiqian."

Lu Chen said.

"Bring us 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'"

And with this song,

Dedicated to all those on the path of exploration.

To those of you who never gave up.

The applause was thunderous.

Xue Zhiqian walked to the high stool that had been specially set up in the center of the stage and sat down.

I adjusted the microphone.

He gently plucked the strings.

A clear, slightly husky voice rang out.

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear me?"

The person gazing up, their heart filled with loneliness and sighs…

The moment the song began.

A meticulously crafted short film began playing on the large screen behind us.

That's not a product promotional video.

Rather, it is the creative process of Journey 1 from scratch.

In the picture,

It is the tip of a pen that a designer repeatedly sketches lines on draft paper.

It's the silhouette of a material purchasing agent shuttling through the vast electronics market.

Beside the assembly line, Lin Bing and the master craftsman were having a heated discussion about a certain process detail.

It was 3 a.m. in the office, and the programmer was taking a nap at his desk.

Hong Feng had filled the whiteboard with complex system architecture diagrams, and a group of focused young people were surrounding him.

I pray to have a transparent heart.

And eyes that can shed tears…

When the chorus is sung,

Xue Zhiqian's voice trembled slightly, and his emotions erupted at this moment.

The stage lights changed with the melody.

The effect of twinkling stars was projected behind him.

In that very instant.

The moment the song reaches its climax.

All the rapidly flashing research and development images on the big screen disappeared.

Instead,

It's a product rendering that's incredibly impactful!

Extreme simplicity brings extreme impact.

The front is a single, deep, mirror-like screen.

There is only a narrow earpiece opening at the top.

There are no physical buttons below the screen.

The icons for the three virtual buttons glowed with a soft white light.

Then, the screen rotates to show the side view.

The metal frame has sharp, angular edges.

It has a matte finish that comes from precise grinding.

The antenna band break was cleverly concealed.

The volume buttons and the power button on top are neatly arranged.

Turn it again to reveal the back.

A single, pure piece of glass back panel, as smooth as a lake surface.

The camera and flash module in the upper right corner are like jewels embedded in it.

In the upper center position is the familiar "Z" logo.

It is not printed, but integrated with the glass back panel.

Available in black and white color schemes.

Displayed alternately on the screen.

Black is mysterious and profound, while white is pure and elegant.

The integration of an all-glass body with a metal frame.

A stunning harmony was achieved.

Extreme simplicity, extreme symmetry.

All unnecessary decorations have been eliminated.

Only the purest design language remains.

It is a powerful sense of technological beauty and industrial design.

It is not like an industrial product produced on an assembly line.

It's more like a work of art that has been created naturally.

It floats silently on the screen with a starry sky background.

It truly seemed to be the most dazzling star in the night sky.

征途1

Three silver characters slowly emerged at the bottom of the phone.

Quiet.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped.

I stared in disbelief at the device on the screen.

One second I was moved by the song and the documentary short film.

The next second, I was struck by the design aesthetics that surpassed my imagination.

The impact of that transformation was doubled.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"boom--!!!"

immediately,

A tsunami of gasps, applause, and whistles erupted!

It almost blew the roof off the stadium!

"My God! This phone?!"

"This design is freaking awesome!"

"So beautiful! How can she be so gorgeous!"

"This is a cell phone? This is practically a work of art!"

"All glass? Metal frame? How good must it feel to the touch?"

"This design! This quality! Even Apple looks bulky next to it!"

The live stream chat exploded with messages, flooding the screen so fast that the words were barely legible.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"

"Absolutely stunning! This level of beauty is out of this world!"

"Is this really a domestically made phone? I don't believe it!"

"I'd believe it even if you told me it looked 5999!"

"Buy, buy, buy! I'll buy it no matter the price!"

"It looks so much better than the Meizu M8!"

"I'm moved to tears. The short video and this phone really broke me!"

"That's the brightest star in the night sky!"

Xue Zhiqian's singing slowly came to an end.

He turned and looked back at the phone on the screen behind him, which resembled a work of art.

His eyes were also filled with shock.

The lights came back on.

Lu Chen smiled and walked back to the center of the stage.

She gave Xue Zhiqian a tight hug.

Xue Zhiqian left the stage, handing it back to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen faced the audience again.

At this moment, everyone in the audience had excitement written all over their faces.

He picked up the microphone and waited a few seconds.

Let the boiling noise subside a little.

Lu Chen then walked to the display stand.

They lifted the black velvet cloth.

One black and one white, two real Journey 1 engineering prototypes.

Displayed quietly under the lights, they are dazzling.

Lu Chen picked up the white one and held it high.

"Everyone, please speak!"

He shouted to the audience:

"Was Our Journey 1 good?"

"nice--!!!"

The response was overwhelming.

It almost blew off the roof of the stadium.

The live stream chat was completely flooded with the word "good-looking".

Lu Chen smiled; it was a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Thanks."

He held his phone in his hand.

My fingertips gently stroked the glass back panel.

"So now,

Let me introduce it to you in detail.

This is Conquer Online 1, a game we poured our hearts and souls into creating.

The large screen behind him switched synchronously.

It shows close-ups of the front, side, and back of Conquer Online 1.

It's perfect from every angle.

First, let's talk about the appearance.

We abandoned all rounded designs.

They chose this straightforward and sharp language.

Lu Chen's voice was clear and powerful.

"What we want,"

It is when you pick it up,

You can then feel a sense of precision and reliability.

Close-up details of the phone appeared on the large screen.

"Both sides, front and back"

We used Corning's latest high-hardness glass.

Scratch and wear resistant.

The middle border.

Lu Chen's finger swiped across the side of the phone.

"It is an aluminum alloy that has undergone seven precision processing steps."

We repeatedly adjusted its curvature and cut edges.

This is solely to ensure a seamless connection between the glass and the surface.

It also provides the most comfortable and stable grip.

At this moment, the phone's metal frame gleamed under the light.

The overall thickness of the machine is 9.3 mm.

Weight 137 grams

This is possibly one of the thinnest smartphones in the world.

But it still feels solidly weighty when held in your hand.

A gasp of amazement rose from the audience.

"Now, look here."

Lu Chen pressed the power button, and the screen lit up instantly.

ZUI's lock screen animation smoothly transitions to the main interface.

A huge close-up of the phone screen was also shown on the large screen.

3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen

Resolution 800×480 pixels,

We have a deep partnership with screen suppliers.

To improve its color performance and touch response speed,

They have all reached the top level.

He swiped to unlock, and the interface responded with silky smoothness.
